Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 520 -520-Belinda Is Pregnant
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
Beyond the hall's entrance, within the royal court.
The Blazing Eagle Lord and those two Sage Masters turned their eyes to Kaos, pondering his background in hushed speculation.
Meanwhile, the God of Wisdom, the War Executor, and the Temple's High Priest kept their attention fixed on Alvin.
Alvin, however, directed his gaze straight at Kaos.
Close by, the gold-coin grandmaster Tuk, along with Bolink, Diok, and the others, held their breaths without a sound. The ancient Sage Lords themselves stayed utterly still, their thoughts stretched tight.
Apart from the handful of Sage Masters who had already perished, nearly all the supreme experts of the Celestial Light God Realm had assembled in this spot.
Each of these mighty individuals held the rank of Sage Master!
Yet somehow... insignificant figures like them were sharing the same ground with such colossal entities?!
Such a moment could only unfold in the Crossbridge Empire.
In any other realm, these elites wouldn't even bother acknowledging their presence.
True, under the Emperor's dominance, this assembly of Sage Masters had been forced to kneel and plead desperately—completely powerless.
But that was a separate matter.
To rub shoulders with the absolute peaks of power...
The sensation filled them with equal parts terror and exhilaration.
"I heard... His Majesty is just in his twenties?"
The green-eyed snake woman broke the quiet with her sudden words.
This detail had come to her knowledge only lately.
Since the Emperor's avatar had sealed the gates and wiped out the Peace Committee, she had made a point to dig into the matter.
Truth be told, that revelation had left her stunned and fearful.
T... twenties?
Boyd and the other ancient Sage Lords, plus numerous powerhouses, went rigid in an instant. Their stares locked onto the green-eyed snake woman.
Facing the intense scrutiny from so many fearsome presences, she trembled violently and stuttered, "I—I only heard it... from others."
In his twenties, achieving Sage Lord status—and casually dispatching a Sage Master with a single gesture?
Previously, they had focused solely on the Crossbridge Empire's collective strength, overlooking such specifics.
Regarding divination through the stars... Aurek's destiny path had been shrouded for ages. Not even the renowned seer Alvin could pierce through it fully.
"His Majesty’s brilliance knows no rivals, surpassing every era," murmured a powerhouse from Mount Culott nearby. "It's beyond what our minds can grasp."
"What are you getting at?" inquired the Blazing Eagle Lord.
Vivien from the Sanctified Heart Garden, Nalodebi, and several more edged closer to hear.
The powerhouse bowed to the Blazing Eagle Lord and explained, "These feats—you'll comprehend them fully once you visit the Eura Continent and witness them firsthand. But one correction is needed: His Majesty might be in his twenties, but the span from when he first entered the extraordinary realm and climbed to his present height... amounts to just four or five years."
The Blazing Eagle Lord, the Temple's High Priest, Boyd, and the rest plunged into immediate quiet.
The whole gathering fell into profound stillness.
Merely four or five years—from ordinary mortal to Sage Lord... and capable of utterly destroying a Sage Master?!
Even for the Blazing Eagle Lord and fellow Sage Lord–level experts, who had seen endless marvels throughout the Star Sea, no similar example came to mind.
If this proved accurate... then it went far beyond simply "unmatched across history."
It explained why even a genuine Sage Lord like Kaos chose to serve loyally.
It clarified why the Sea God Temple had bowed to the Crossbridge Empire from the start; they had grasped this truth early on.
And this was probably just scratching the surface!
A sudden insight struck the Blazing Eagle Lord and his companions. Their eyes shifted toward the divine temple's location.
Four or five years to attain such heights—what might forty years bring? Or four hundred? Perhaps even beyond that?
For entities like them, Sage Masters, a mere instant spanned ten million years.
Even limiting it to a mere thousand years...
To what horrifying level would His Majesty rise by then?
The more they delved into the idea, the greater their inner turmoil grew.
Ultimately, their hesitant loyalties solidified toward the Crossbridge Empire. For someone like Vivien, her eyes remained glued to that palace, as if nothing else mattered in existence.
...
Within the palace.
Josephine, Natasha, and the rest sat quietly without a word.
Elizabeth had already positioned the women from the SpiritSong Kingdom to attend inside the palace.
All grasped what she aimed for.
These SpiritSong Kingdom women possessed striking beauty and vibrant energy. Elizabeth naturally wanted them to gain the Emperor's affection—and potentially align with her in times ahead.
With Sophia's role as the Sea Temple Master now revealed among the imperial consorts, Elizabeth had to secure her standing sooner.
As for Shirino and Sherana... having plotted through vast epochs, they too would stay ensconced in the palace.
Fiona and Belinda had forged a private bond as well.
Tracy, Isabella, and the others had been smoothly integrated into their plans.
"I’m pregnant."
Amid the hush, Belinda announced it abruptly.
Josephine and Natasha's gazes sharpened as they all looked her way.
Elizabeth's mind power reached out to Belinda's belly.
"How marvelous! His Majesty’s first offspring!"
Shortly after, Josephine's face lit up with a radiant grin—her eyes brimming with happiness, tinged with a hint of jealousy.
The group approached to extend their warm felicitations too.
...
The palace entrance swung wide. Aurek emerged.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Josephine and the others declared, stepping forward to pay their respects.
Aurek appeared bewildered.
"Belinda is pregnant," Josephine informed him.
Aurek glanced at Belinda, sending his mind power to sense her abdomen.
That spark of life, tied by blood ties...
It flooded him with immense joy.
Belinda offered a gentle curtsy.
"Your Majesty was occupied with breakthroughs and advancements before. I lacked the moment to mention it."
"That was my failing!"
Such open enthusiasm was rare for Aurek. He moved swiftly to Belinda's side.
In his earlier weaker days, his focus had stayed on restoring the empire, tangled in endless foes, leaving no room for family matters.
Once he cleared all threats on the Eura Continent, he adopted a relaxed stance on heirs—though his cultivation progress took priority.
Still, as his level ascended higher, his might swelled, his vital essence elevated—the odds of impregnating a partner dropped sharply.
And yet, Belinda... carried his child.
This elation outshone even his victory over the abyssal demon realm, his grip on the Celestial Light God Realm—or his latest realm surge!
"Employ the finest resources to tend to Belinda," Aurek instructed Josephine.
Josephine gave a firm nod.
With the Crossbridge Empire's conquests of numerous grand forces, heavenly herbs and holy pills abounded, while the Life Sorcerer brewed fresh elixirs nonstop.
For Belinda's pregnancy, nothing short of the absolute top would suffice.
Aurek waved his sleeve. High above the temple, the full fortune-dragon descended, unleashing boundless golden light that wrapped around Belinda.
Through this, the fetus would absorb the immense national fortune of the Crossbridge Empire right from the womb.
In time, the child's talents would dominate the entire Star Sea without peer.
Witnessing Aurek's deep emotion, Josephine felt stirrings in her soul—Fiona too, while Elizabeth's mind raced with silent schemes.
Seeing the glow on Belinda's features, they could see the reason plainly.
...
[ Ding! Conquering the Celestial Light God Realm—Emperor Points +5,000 trillion quadrillion... ]
Right then, the system panel lit up with a fresh alert, lifting Aurek's spirits higher.
Suggwoth, Ares, and Tina had commanded millions of Sacred Radiance–rank void warlocks, purging every corner of the Celestial Light God Realm.
They subdued the Cloudcrown Sanctum, the Flame Eagle Clan, the Primordial Sacred Land, and more—truly a wave of double fortune!
Outside the hall.
Lucio and Philip had already marched their forces into the Star Sea.
At present, beyond the millions in Sacred Radiance–rank troops and the authentic Sage Master Kaos, the Crossbridge Empire had secured the Blazing Eagle Lord, the Sage Masters from the Primordial Sacred Land and Starlight Colonnade, plus the God of Wisdom, the War Executor, and the Temple's High Priest—adding up to six Sage Masters.
The count of Sage Lords, ancient Sage Lords, and quasi–Sage Masters exceeded fifty!
But the most bewildering element was Alvin.
This apparently delicate elder earned "Your Excellency" from even Kaos!
After all, Alvin stood as a legendary soul who had once touched the edges of the River of Fate. Lucio and Philip held him in profound respect.
A simple reading from him unraveled the Star Sea's chaotic web before their sight.
He served as the pivotal force guiding the empire's strikes against the Divine Court!
The Crossbridge Empire's evasion of detection by rival powers—and the lack of massive unrest in the Star Sea—owed much to his veiled protection of the empire's destiny threads from the shadows.
