Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 469 -469-Even a Lion Uses Its Full Strength to Hunt a Rabbit
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
At the peak of Olympian lies the Royal Court.
The territory encompassed by this single city was so vast it equaled a quarter of the entire Eura Continent.
Standing atop the Olympian summit, it remained the most ancient and hallowed metropolis in existence.
According to legend, a supreme being of the highest holy realm had once stopped here in the distant, primordial past, leaving behind eternal traces of their presence.
It was this very lingering providence that allowed the Radiant God Realm to flourish into the powerhouse it is today.
The essence of Olympian God Mountain’s destiny was rooted in this location.
This was the Sanctum of Olympian God Mountain.
That boundless, eternal aura—persisting through the ages—had birthed innumerable legends and ensured the continued prosperity of the mountain’s fortune.
Above the court, rows of magnificent holy palaces drifted through the clouds, shielded by a massive magic formation.
Phantoms of imposing dragons and golden phoenixes circled the structures, creating an atmosphere of awe and sanctity.
The Grand Temple stood at the very center.
Silas, the sovereign of Olympian God Mountain, sat upon the highest divine throne.
Ministers with auras as deep as the great oceans lined both sides of the hall; every official held at least the rank of Sacred Radiance.
Even the sentries stationed outside were Sage Kings.
Jeremy and the gathered generals knelt before the assembly, their bodies trembling as they gave a full report on the loss of Unar Province and Starreach Province, providing every detail regarding the Crossbridge Empire.
Silas listened in silence, his majestic and holy countenance remaining perfectly still.
A spirit forged through countless millennia was not easily shaken by mundane troubles.
Nevertheless, the news that a mere lower-realm empire had launched a counterstrike against Olympian God Mountain—boasting an army of over a hundred million True God–rank soldiers—
That did cause him a flicker of surprise.
Was it possible for such strength to truly originate from a lower realm?
It seemed far more plausible that a Divine Empire–level entity was utilizing the Eura Continent as a base to infiltrate the Radiant God Realm.
Shock filled the faces of the ministers as they absorbed the report, and they traded disbelieving looks.
Had these generals not witnessed it themselves, the ministers would have dismissed the report as a tall tale.
“What is the true nature of this Crossbridge Empire?”
Roland, the Minister of War, spoke with a heavy tone, sensing a deep abnormality.
They had gone through great effort to bypass the Divine Gate and open a path to the Eura Continent, sending General Zuurul with tens of millions of troops—only for them to be wiped out in an instant.
Worse, the enemy had capitalized on the opening to invade, capturing two provinces back-to-back.
This was not the behavior of a typical lower-realm power.
His sharp intuition told him there was more to this situation than met the eye.
Roland moved forward and offered a deep bow.
“Your Majesty, we must treat this situation with the highest level of gravity.”
“I move that we immediately deploy the Automaton Legion to execute a swift and total annihilation of the Eura Continent and the invading forces.”
Beside him, Id, the Minister of Internal Affairs, voiced his disagreement.
“Lord Roland, are you not overreacting? Even if they have a hundred million True God–rank troops, we haven't confirmed their true background. Moving the Automaton Legion so suddenly...”
Quiet whispers immediately broke out across the hall.
The Automaton Legion was the elite force of Olympian God Mountain, composed of five hundred thousand Sage Kings and God Kings. Its power was surpassed only by the legendary God Mountain Imperial Guard.
It was one of the mountain’s ultimate hidden cards.
To use it against a lower-realm empire?
Was that not like using a heavy axe to trim a blade of grass?
Even minor casualties would be considered a waste and an insult to such a prestigious legion.
They could simply send standard True God or God King legions to grind the enemy down first.
Olympian God Mountain possessed plenty of such troops.
Roland replied in a low, serious voice,
“Id, have you overlooked a vital point?”
“The Crossbridge Empire likely understands the power of Olympian God Mountain after seizing three border fortresses.”
“The smart move would have been to go into hiding and consolidate their gains to avoid our wrath.”
“Instead, they pushed forward to occupy Starreach and Unar—two massive provinces!”
“That is one-fiftieth of our entire territory. Don't you find such boldness… suspicious?”
Id frowned at those words.
Upon the divine throne, Silas’ eyes glimmered slightly.
“The Crossbridge Empire is using the gate we opened to build a beachhead, trying to create a gap within our borders.”
“If their power was limited to what we see, they wouldn't have the guts to take two full provinces.”
“Unless... they have a calculated plan to challenge Olympian God Mountain. Taking those provinces is just the setup for their main force's arrival.”
“That hundred million True God–rank army is probably just the vanguard. There is almost certainly more coming.”
“If we don't strike with overwhelming power now, the flames of war will spread further once they stabilize that breach.”
“By then, even our elite legions might get stuck in a long stalemate instead of achieving a quick victory.”
“If I’m wrong, then so be it. But if I’m right... then the Crossbridge Empire is a terrifying foe, and the passage we opened was the very chance they were waiting for.”
Roland’s deduction left the ministers in deep thought.
Id also went quiet.
Any power that could use a hundred million True Gods as a mere scouting party likely had several times that number in reserve.
If that were true, the enemy was at least a Divine Empire–level force.
Finally, the commanding voice of Silas rang through the silent chamber.
“Mobilize the Automaton Legion immediately, along with the First Sacred Guard Legion and six divisions of the Celestial Mountain Legion. Deploy auxiliary units as needed.”
“Furthermore, the Ministry of War shall appoint ten Divine Oracles to lead this campaign. Regardless of the Crossbridge Empire’s origins, our land must be reclaimed and the enemy wiped out!”
Losing even a single fortress—let alone two provinces—was a direct insult to the prestige of Olympian God Mountain.
If the news traveled, how would other powers perceive them?
Moreover—
Based on the scale of their military, the Crossbridge Empire was already showing the hallmarks of a Divine Empire–level threat.
Allowing them to sit on God Mountain’s borders would create a massive risk and could spark a chain reaction.
Entities like the Frostwinter Realm or the Devers Divine Empire would surely strike if they saw Olympian God Mountain in chaos.
Strategically, sending the Automaton Legion and other elites to end the matter once and for all was a worthy investment, despite the cost.
It was also a chance to blood the trump-card legion in real warfare.
“I obey your command, my liege,” Roland said with a deep bow.
The Sacred Guard Legion was a God King–rank unit, with a million soldiers per legion.
The Celestial Mountain Legion consisted of True God–rank warriors—six legions meant sixty million troops.
Combined with the five hundred thousand members of the Automaton Legion and ten Divine Oracles—
This force was sufficient to crush a standard Divine Empire with ease.
Even the Frostwinter Realm or the Devers Divine Empire would be alarmed by such a force.
“One more thing,” Silas added after a moment, his voice firm.
“Conquer the Eura Continent as well.”
Roland nodded in agreement.
A few ministers wore mocking grins.
Id simply shook his head.
The Crossbridge Empire was simply unlucky to have caught the attention of Roland, a man defined by his caution and ruthless efficiency.
The deployment of so many elite legions and masters signaled a clear intent to delete the enemy from existence.
“With the Automaton Legion on the move, the Crossbridge Empire is finished.”
“Indeed. If we can harvest the providence of a Divine Empire–level power, it will be quite a windfall for our mountain.”
The ministers spoke in low tones, many brimming with anticipation.
To them, the outcome of this war was already decided.
