Ael Fortress.
Josephine, Fiona, and the others emerged from the city lord’s mansion and climbed to the top of the walls, staring far into the horizon.
The Bone Clan’s three Divine Oracles, along with Prologue Sage and the rest, all displayed solemn looks on their faces.
Just from the energy leaking through the boundary gate, the foes’ power was already palpable.
Lucio and Philip observed closely.
They could distinctly sense the near-mad devotion that the people from former God Mountain areas in Unar Province, plus Cloudwood Province, Starreach Province, and beyond, harbored for the God Mountain Imperial Guard—a deep-seated respect carved into their bones and souls.
Chaos was already stirring in numerous towns, as though they might soon tear away from the empire’s grip by force!
This level of unity even impressed Lucio and Philip.
Yet...
The fiercer it grew, the more their stares burned with intensity.
"I can’t wait to see how badly it’ll crush them when the God Mountain Imperial Guard falls apart."
A savage gleam flashed in Lucio’s eyes.
When something invaluable breaks, the pain cuts deeper.
The deeper the attachment, the harsher the torment to the soul when it’s ruthlessly crushed.
The God Mountain Imperial Guard was woven into the faith of the God Mountain folk. Thus, the fallout wouldn’t end with just this army’s ruin!
It would shatter the backbone of every soul under God Mountain—toppling their core belief.
Without achieving that, even capturing God Mountain lands by the Crossbridge Empire wouldn’t secure true national power.
National power arises from the direction of the people’s loyalties.
Josephine grasped this truth better than most.
The Crossbridge Empire had plunged into shadow before and endured heavy costs as a result.
"Your Excellencies, move the troops into position without delay!"
"With the God Mountain Imperial Guard back, Olympian God Mountain must be gearing up for the final clash. The Crossbridge Empire needs to annihilate them fully and utterly!"
"If Olympian God Mountain’s glory rests on the God Mountain Imperial Guard and endless mighty figures..."
"Then the Crossbridge Empire’s glory will rise from grinding that fake glory under our heels!"
Josephine’s tone rang with absolute command and majesty.
Her declaration caused Lucio, Philip, Prologue Sage, the Lord of Sacred Light, and the rest to shoot her sidelong looks, their minds stirred.
Under His Majesty’s constant guidance, the empress consort’s presence had been tempered to perfection—capable of commanding respect from all.
"As you command."
Lucio and his companions lowered their heads in obedience.
As officials, they were aware of the fifty million Sage King–rank legion and grasped the dread power of those destruction-aligned Sage King–rank fighters.
Fifty million!
This extravagant “present” was crafted just for the God Mountain Imperial Guard!
They planned to execute it in plain view—
Beneath the scrutiny of billions of souls.
Beneath the stares of myriad followers, fans, and the arrogant.
Beneath the vigilant eyes of forces from every corner...
With the Crossbridge Empire’s mightiest weapon, they aimed to demolish the God Mountain Imperial Guard—savagely, totally, and in total disgrace!
Lucio and Philip sent out one hundred million God King–rank Void Warlocks and Soul Warlocks to serve as lures.
An immense lure like that would surely tempt the God Mountain Imperial Guard to bite!
After all, seventy to eighty million more God King–rank forces had surged in from the Eura Continent as backup.
Simultaneously, over forty million God King–rank units specializing in soul and spatial powers were positioned in aerial ambush, working alongside the fifty million Sage King–rank Doom Legion.
They also unleashed the freshly rebuilt Automaton Legion into the fray, arming it with Chaotic Artifacts to form a key attacking unit.
Furthermore, eight hundred million God General–rank and True God–rank soldiers were gathered, set to overrun God Mountain lands the moment the curse barrier fell!
…
Boom—!
A day passed, and the skies and earth quaked as laws fractured.
A horrifying wave of killing intent rushed toward the Starlight Colonnade, the Eternal Winter Divine Empire, the Chaotic Realm, the Primordial Sacred Lands, the Clouded Domain, and various other factions.
Myriad Divine Oracles and Sage Lords directed their attention here.
Across Olympian God Mountain’s domain, its inhabitants raised their faces skyward, breaths held tight.
The God Mountain Imperial Guard’s leader, Godwin, emerged first from the boundary gate, flanked by three quasi–Sage Lords.
A tangible force, felt by all, surged through the air in a flash.
Right then...
Countless Divine Oracles followed in quick succession!
Next, waves of Sacred Radiance–rank soldiers in crimson armor, marked by divine blood, strode from the void in orderly lines.
Each was a peak Sacred Radiance–rank expert. The overwhelming dread they radiated rivaled that of legendary ancient Divine Radiants!
This display caused Prologue Sage, the Lord of Sacred Light, and others’ eyes to narrow in shock, dread rising within.
Since even a single one of these fighters could match them—and possibly end them!
And these elites...
Numbered over one hundred thousand!
Not merely a thousand.
Not even ten thousand.
Over one hundred thousand!
A count that bred pure horror.
This army shook them to the core—Sage Lords leading as top officers, quasi–Sage Lords as commanders, Divine Oracles overseeing all...
Just this one force could drown the whole Abyss Demon Realm in bloodshed!
Against Olympian God Mountain, the Council of the Dark Order paled in comparison!
Outmatched in elite numbers, the Crossbridge Empire faced certain casualties.
This fact couldn’t help but breed anxiety in them.
"One hundred thousand... this Imperial Guard has expanded at a shocking rate!"
Sherana gazed at the spectacle, her spirit profoundly rattled.
When dispatched to the Eternal Winter Divine Empire, the legion had barely topped thirty thousand.
Yet now it swelled to one hundred thousand, with most at Sacred Radiance rank eight or nine on average.
A assault group like this inevitably sparked fear!
"Some must’ve been drawn from the star sea,"
Lora remarked, her brow furrowed slightly.
"So this is the God Mountain Imperial Guard? It lives up to the hype!"
"It’s genuinely... overwhelmingly powerful!"
The dragon-blooded warrior from the Stone Sea, Vane of the Thousandblade Spire, Vivien of the Sanctified Heart Garden, the Master of Coin, the Lord of Chaos, the Chaotic Realm’s numerous powerhouses, and arrivals from the Starlight Colonnade all felt deep alarm inside.
Right now, their dread of Olympian God Mountain hit its zenith.
"Tsk tsk... it’s done for. The Crossbridge Empire’s toast this round!"
"This God Mountain Imperial Guard exceeds our wildest dreams in size and might! Could this one legion alone obliterate the Crossbridge Empire entirely?"
Many harbored such thoughts inwardly.
A force of one hundred million God King–rank troops was fearsome—strong enough to battle Sage King–rank enemies.
However, every soldier now visible was at Sacred Radiance rank!
And far from ordinary Sacred Radiance rank—they were battle-hardened survivors of the star sea’s endless slaughters over hundreds of thousands of years, equals to ancient Sacred Radiance ranks, boasting unimaginable battle prowess!
To endure in that forbidden, nightmarish star-sea realm...
Their capabilities defied belief!
…
"Hahahaha... the Crossbridge Empire’s toast!"
In the Litaran Empire’s palace, Claren let out wild, unchecked guffaws.
He could now boldly declare to all that his choice to challenge the Crossbridge Empire brought zero regrets!
His laughs resounded through the halls, brimming with wild joy and thrill.
All the courtiers turned their eyes to him.
Three activations of the God Mountain Imperial Guard equaled three lifesaving divine charms.
Yet the aging emperor hesitated now!
"Maybe... his path was correct. Have I grown too frail?"
The old emperor pondered silently.
Danger and gain walk hand in hand—without daring the hazard, how to grasp the prize?
The scene unfolding validated this principle.
"This defies belief! Every one a top-tier Sacred Radiance rank powerhouse—one hundred thousand strong!"
"Heavens... has Olympian God Mountain’s God Mountain Imperial Guard truly reached this level?"
"Incredible. It might already approach the top legion of the Celestial Light God Realm in scale!"
"The Crossbridge Empire’s done for sure this time!"
"Trample those inferior lower-realm scum! Exterminate their kind and erase them all!"
In the capital and key cities, throngs who’d once been routed badly by the Automaton Legion now bellowed in rage, their loathing for the Crossbridge Empire burning fierce and clear.
