Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 526 -526-Stunned Speechless: The Divine Oracle Legion
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
Countless mighty figures nursing hidden schemes had now fully curbed their ambitions.
That so-called "surrender" was never genuine on their part. All they did was await backup from the Divine Court’s central stronghold or the Primordial Giants. The moment those allies arrived, they aimed to shatter the Crossbridge Empire’s hold and launch a devastating counterstrike from the inside at the pivotal juncture.
But things had changed now?
Should they actually attempt betrayal amid the chaos of battle, the very first to perish would likely be them.
Boom—!
Right at that instant—
Almost a hundred million colossal titans burst forth via the Gold Giant Gate, charging into the vast starry expanse.
Trailing them came endless ranks infused with essences of time, space, soul, and beyond—hundreds of millions flooding out like an unstoppable torrent!
"Star Gods above..."
"My heavens!"
"What... what in the world just rushed by?!"
A Sage King–rank powerhouse's eyes almost popped out of his head. He scrubbed at them furiously before locking his gaze on the Starlight Colonnade.
"Holy Light above! Th-that... those must be Divine Oracles, right?!"
"Are you serious—or am I hallucinating?!"
In the Starlight Colonnade, throngs of onlookers stood rooted in stunned silence.
"This... an entire legion of Divine Oracles—!"
An elder Sage Lord from the Flame Eagle Clan rocketed skyward immediately, his eyes fixed on the Starlight Colonnade.
Even though the imperial forces advanced with blistering pace, he distinctly felt the overwhelming presence of those hundred million Divine Oracles!
From God Mountain's shattered remnants, from the Eternal Winter Divine Empire, from the Primordial Sacred Land—vast multitudes ascended into the heavens, as if drawn by a silent pact, all directing their stares toward the Starlight Colonnade.
"Th-this... what sort of formidable power is the Crossbridge Empire?!"
"Incredible... a legion of Divine Oracles..."
Shouts of astonishment echoed like crashing waves.
A hundred million Divine Oracles!
Hundreds of millions reaching Sacred Radiance rank!
No era had ever witnessed such a staggering display.
After gazing intently for what seemed like ages, the crowds at last turned their attention to the Gold Giant Gate.
At that instant, their gazes brimmed with not just reverence and longing, but a keener spark of anticipation.
They sensed it unmistakably—the Emperor’s grand vision and the unfathomable reserves of his realm.
To dispatch forces into the Star Sea signaled his drive to propel the Empire toward seizing the Divine Court’s supreme seat!
And that implied—
In this immense Star Sea cosmos, a third Divine Court could emerge!
For individuals like Vane, who had pledged loyalty to the Crossbridge Empire, the shock and incredulity gave way to a wild thrill they struggled to suppress...
Aurek observed the spectacle with steady composure.
For the moment, this was merely the Eastern Starfield.
The Star Sea universe stretched infinitely vast—and the Starfont Divine Court at the cosmic heart was the Crossbridge Empire’s ultimate prize.
He called up his status interface.
Eliminating an ancient Sage Lord–realm Primordial Giant brought rewards seven to eight times greater than those from a typical foe at that level.
Taking down a Sage Lord–rank Primordial Giant delivered nearly eight or nine hundred quadrillion Emperor Points!
He remained uncertain about the exact count of Primordial Giants—but this deployment of the titan legion targeted their indomitable forms directly.
And the Cursefont Star God himself spearheaded the pursuit.
As for the Eternal Sunfire War God—
He was bound for the Styx Sector!
...
Styx Sector
Thomas, overseer of the Divine Court’s regional outpost, had already rallied Divine Court elites alongside native powers for an initial skirmish against the Crossbridge Empire’s forces in the sector’s eastern reaches.
Leaders like Ares pulled back their units to a chaotic frontier starfield.
The skirmish stayed small-scale, yielding no clear triumph for either side.
At the star river’s fringe, the Crossbridge Empire’s leaders and Sage Masters lingered with grim faces, their mental senses delving far into the Styx Sector.
Alvin broke the silence.
"The Styx Sector houses Primordial Sword City, the Star Sea giant ape clan, the Seraphim, and various other timeless powers and lineages."
"Especially the top three—each backed by a being teetering on the brink of quasi–Empyrean Sanctum. They’ll prove tough opponents."
The Lord of the Blazing Eagle eyed Alvin.
"Your Excellency, they’re using the Divine Court as a shield against us. It’s obvious they underestimate our strength. Could we exploit this to crush them individually?"
All eyes shifted to Alvin.
The enigmatic tactics of this famed stargazer were beyond comprehension—proven through their own past encounters.
Even Lucio and Philip deferred to him with deep reverence, humbly awaiting his counsel.
Alvin paused briefly before speaking deliberately.
"First, prepare the foundations... then—hold steady."
"Hold steady?"
The Lord of the Blazing Eagle, the God of Wisdom, the War Executor, and fellow Sage Masters knit their brows in bewilderment.
Alvin affirmed with a nod.
"If I deploy the array myself, I could certainly devise a path to vanquish those three primordial beings."
"Yet it demands time. And any action would surely rouse the Starfont Divine Court’s vigilance."
"That path leads to disadvantage."
He elaborated no more. Standing, he soared toward the sector’s inner voids.
...
"Hahaha—after that brief clash, surely that so-called Crossbridge Empire has learned to hold back now?"
"To be honest, for a second there, I actually believed that Empire hid some horrifying secret strength."
"Seems it’s just roadside riffraff after all. They can’t even handle a Divine Court outpost—let alone the upper three races."
"Even so, the upper three races won’t overlook this insult. The challenge letter’s been served—that’s outright defiance. It strikes at their core pride!"
"Unless the Divine Court wipes them out entirely, this matter won’t rest."
"Enough speculation. That was merely a test of waters. If the Crossbridge Empire dares advance this far, they must have real backing. The true showdown lies ahead."
"Whether it escalates to a showdown remains to be seen. Should the Crossbridge Empire boast a guardian powerhouse, upon grasping Styx’s true perils, they might opt to retreat. No battle at all..."
"Naturally, if they refuse to yield and charge blindly forward, they’ll dive right into doom!"
In the Styx Sector, powerhouses from myriad realms viewed the events like a entertaining diversion.
This star domain had slumbered in quiet for eons too long. Now, this spectacle—of issuing a challenge to the upper three races—rippled like a pebble in calm waters, stirring waves across the expanse.
Beings from numerous realms latched onto it as scarce amusement, igniting fervor throughout the sector.

Styx Sector — The River of Forgetting at the Star Ruins’ Edge
Within a serene grove of amethyst bamboo, two seniors faced each other: one with locks as white as frost, the other clad in simple hemp garb.
Beside the hemp-robed senior waited a slender young maiden, her eyes sparkling yet subdued.
"We’re grateful for your protection over these days," the hemp-robed senior stated while standing to bid farewell. The young maiden curtsied deeply as well. "Now, it’s time for us to set out."
The white-haired senior mulled it over shortly, then inclined his head.
"Styx churns with unrest once more. Primordial Sword City’s watch over you has eased temporarily. Departing at this juncture is truly ideal. I won’t detain you further."
The longstanding grudge between Watcher City and Primordial Sword City was common knowledge in Styx.
That primordial feud from immemorial times had even drawn the Divine Court’s intervention—though open discussion of it had been banned for ages.
"Old companion," the hemp-robed senior murmured softly, "the two Divine Courts are now locked in battle. Should the strife intensify, Styx is fated to face devastation too. I urge utmost caution."
At those words, the white-haired senior stood as well, his features darkening gravely.
"And what of Sacredwood Settlement? What about that entity sealed in the Dark Abyss..."
"In those days, even the paramount beings couldn’t subdue him. If war’s flames consume the Styx Sector... what if he breaks free?"
The young maiden’s eyes wavered slightly.
Sacredwood Settlement marked her former home—long since razed by Primordial Sword City.
The hemp-robed senior grew quiet. After an extended pause, he exhaled deeply.
"Sacredwood fell due to him. All threads weave into destiny’s design. I lack the power to alter it."
"The paramount being positioned the Dark Abyss here with purpose."
"Our path leads to the Eastern Starfield. The paramount being established provisions there—perhaps we’ll catch a whisper of ancient direction."
