Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 511 -511-Diverting the Calamity Eastward, The Invasion
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
The Godslayer Clan's power proves so immense that even without completely annihilating the Crossbridge Empire by drawing them into the Abyss Demon Realm, they could still drain its life force dramatically. During this, those remaining behind might gain some advantages from the chaos!
Miles reached out to the Wayshift Clan's chief and the Starfall Wardenhold's ruler, outlining the strategy. They both gave their approval.
Fighting the Godslayer Clan head-on in this spot would just sap their own resources. Yet, redirecting the danger toward the Crossbridge Empire within the Abyss Demon Realm might create a fresh opportunity!
In front of the small Wayshift Realm, near the Star-Realm Gate, a quasi-Sage Master along with three Sage Lords hovered in the emptiness, watching the conflict unfold.
"Ancestor, these groups have solid bases, including two Sage Lords among them."
"Keeping this up will cause heavy damage to our people too. Please strike directly."
A Divine Oracle from the Godslayer Clan spoke to the quasi-Sage Master with deep respect.
This quasi-Sage Master turned out to be Shadow Blade, the very founder of the Godslayer Clan.
Divine light shimmered in Shadow Blade's eyes. The three Sage Lords had already uncovered the inner workings of the small Wayshift Realm. He readied himself to wipe out the foes' highest leaders, cutting down losses for his clan.
Just then, the Ancient Starwatchers from the Court of Prophecy emerged from the turmoil, fixing their gaze on Shadow Blade.
"I’m not sure who leads the Godslayer Clan, but I’ve got a matter to bring up."
A quasi-Sage Lord unleashed a crushing presence right away, lunging at the Ancient Starwatchers!
Around the Starwatchers, endless threads of force materialized, smoothly deflecting the assault and holding steady without a single step.
"A Prophet?"
Shadow Blade's gaze tightened a bit, and he signaled the quasi-Sage Lord to pull back, advancing on his own.
"Who might you be?"
"I served as a Starwatcher in the Council of the Dark Order’s Court of Prophecy long ago, but these days I roam freely."
The old man uttered his words deliberately. "On this occasion, I speak for the small Wayshift Realm in talks with the Godslayer Clan. I seek a brief pause in the fighting."
Divine light danced in Shadow Blade's eyes, like he was weighing options.
"What exactly do you want to talk about?"
"I’m unclear if the Godslayer Clan’s push into Star Sea aims just to claim a realm or to find a fresh homeland."
The elder went on steadily, "Yet I know for certain that ongoing combat lets the Godslayer Clan triumph, though the toll would be steep."
"Our tribe can handle that price!"
"And you... not one of you would get away."
A Divine Oracle let out a mocking laugh.
"Of course we won’t run,"
The elder stated, "But should the Godslayer Clan wear itself out right here, how would you face foes even mightier?"
"What are you getting at?"
Shadow Blade at last broke his silence.
"This small Wayshift Realm amounts to a tiny fragment of the vast world. The real dominant realm lies in the Abyss Demon Realm."
The elder kept his tone even. "The Crossbridge Empire holds sway over the Abyss Demon Realm today, its might beyond measure."
"Recently, they crushed a faction on the level of a Divine Empire, and now they turn their sights on this minor world. Losing your elite warriors here would make clashing with the Crossbridge Empire a disaster too great to bear."
"Thus, acting for the small Wayshift Realm, we offer to step aside for the Godslayer Clan, in hopes of ending this pointless slaughter."
"Haha... so you’re scheming to pit my clan against that so-called Crossbridge Empire!"
"That ruined group has to be the Council of the Dark Order!"
One among the three Sage Lords shot a icy stare. The elder's scheme shone through all too clearly.
The Godslayer Clan turned their killing intent toward the elder.
"I’m just laying out the truth,"
The elder replied evenly, "Should the Godslayer Clan push for battle, the small Wayshift Realm will fight back with everything we have."
"You believe my clan can be intimidated by the likes of you?"
A Sage Lord's deadly aura exploded as he prepared to lash out, only held back by Shadow Blade.
Shadow Blade intoned gravely, "I’ll weigh your offer, though I can’t verify if your claims hold water."
"The Godslayer Clan might let the small Wayshift Realm go and head for the Abyss Demon Realm instead, but only if the Wayshift Realm’s troops come along."
Such a statement plunged Miles, the Wayshift Clan leader, the Starfall Wardenhold lord, and the rest into heavy contemplation.
Merging the Godslayer Clan's might with their own could truly drive the Crossbridge Empire out of the Abyss Demon Realm.
Still, after ousting the Crossbridge Empire, how could they share space with the Godslayer Clan?
Following a short pause, the trio messaged the Ancient Starwatchers.
The elder answered with composure.
"The small Wayshift Realm can mull over your suggestion. Kindly cease the assault and let’s negotiate the finer points."
After a quick exchange with the three Sage Lords, Shadow Blade swiftly commanded the Godslayer Clan to end the offensive.
...
Abyss Demon Realm.
The Golden Armor, who had slipped into the small Wayshift Realm, came back and shared the intelligence.
Aurek had earlier demanded close watch over the small Wayshift Realm, with Golden Armor heading the shadow guild to track every action in secret, staying undetected.
Once the report arrived, Aurek's face grew grave as he pieced together the peril.
"This Godslayer Clan hails from Star Sea as a mighty force. They boast not just a quasi-Sage Master but three Sage Lords too. Their arrival could shatter all our achievements here in a flash."
"The Wayshift Clan, Judicatory Sanctum, and Starfall Wardenhold won’t block them; they might even harness this strength to strike back at the Abyss Demon Realm."
Griffith, Raymond, and the others shared the same realization.
Judging by the outlined power, the Godslayer Clan outclassed the Council of the Dark Order by far, posing a deadlier danger.
Overthunder and War Bear turned to Suggwoth.
"Your Majesty, the twist you’ve awaited... it’s here."
Suggwoth stared icily toward the small Wayshift Realm.
His remark baffled the group.
"Golden Armor, pass this news straight to Aetherian Sanctuary."
Suggwoth commanded.
Golden Armor complied and departed.
"Might this disrupt our clash with the Celestial Light God Realm?"
Aurek raised the worry.
The god realm conflict raged on. A new fight breaking out could divide the Empire’s troops, leading to disaster.
Suggwoth answered,
"Lucio and Philip guide the God Realm plan; errors won’t occur. The Empire now controls God Mountain. Our initial goal stands met. No cause for concern."
Golden Armor went back to Eura Continent and informed Divine Sanctuary of the issue.
Aurek kept pushing to reach Sage Lord level.
Through deliberations, the officials chose to dispatch ten Sage Lords from the God Realm and shift the three million newly formed Sage King rank troops to the Abyss Demon Realm.
Bone King Otto offered to command the forces himself!
High in the skies over the Abyss Demon Realm, a huge tear ripped through the stars, as though some unseen power had slashed it open, and it widened further, almost cleaving the demon realm apart.
A booming crash echoed as a ferocious energy tempest burst from the tear, whipping the clouds into frenzy.
Demon realm inhabitants glanced skyward, with many elites grasping that this upheaval stemmed from beyond their world.
As expected, soon after.
Amid the churning cloud ocean, a host of mighty beings positioned themselves at the rift's brink, peering into the Abyss Demon Realm below.
Leading them stood Shadow Blade, the Godslayer Clan's three Sage Lords, plus numerous quasi-Sage Lords and Divine Oracles.
Simultaneously, the Wayshift Clan leader, Starfall Wardenhold's lord, Miles, and more guided the full might of the small Wayshift Realm's warriors in their wake.
The Godslayer Clan vowed to leave the small Wayshift Realm untouched once they claimed land in the Abyss Demon Realm and to allocate some demon realm territory to the small Wayshift Realm's groups, refraining from any strikes against them.
The Wayshift Clan, Starfall Wardenhold, and Judicatory Sanctum must pour all their effort into aiding the Godslayer Clan against the Crossbridge Empire.
The Court of Prophecy's Ancient Starwatchers crafted the pact themselves, sealing oaths with fate's force, so any treachery would invite fate's punishment.
Agreement came swiftly from both parties.
Furthermore, Shadow Blade aimed to enlist the Ancient Starwatchers.
Should a Prophet swear fealty to the Godslayer Clan, the gains would prove boundless. That motive also drove his acceptance of the deal.
"Crossbridge Empire boasts a Sage Master at its helm!"
"Plus, Emperor Aurek brandishes a Proto–World Relic-grade slaying sword, endangering Sage Lords!"
"The Council of the Dark Order’s World Relic has landed in their grasp too, forming yet another huge peril."
Miles issued the warning.
With their fates now linked, a Godslayer Clan loss would drag them down as well.
