Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 540 -540-Strategic Shift, the Chaotic Ruins

The fight in Styx Sector was drawing to a close step by step.

Alvin stepped in himself, gathering the leftover fate-traces of Styx Sector along with surging energy currents to establish a massive sealing formation, which held back the eight captured Divine Court Sage Masters for the time being.

The Lord of the Blazing Eagle and his companions kept wounding them repeatedly—occasionally even breaking their forms apart—but without the overwhelming might that Eternal Apollo Sunblaze wielded, the ability to incinerate the core of laws entirely, they couldn't eliminate them for good and had to work alongside Alvin to contain and bind them.

With the Divine Court’s primary troops defeated and their leaders sealed away, the leftover pockets of fighters fell apart in no time.

From the more than three hundred million Border Garrison troops that stormed into Styx Sector, just over a hundred million escaped alongside the Nightingale War God through pure fortune. Once the world gate lay in ruins, they turned into wandering outcasts lost in the vast Star Sea.

The majority—vastly outnumbering the survivors—vanished completely, turned into scattered particles and wild energy surges across this stellar ocean.

As the noise of conflict died away at last, the broken Sea of Chaos fell into an odd, haunting quiet.

The remaining inhabitants of Styx Sector—be they freed peoples or once-neutral groups—stood in profound astonishment and dazed bewilderment, taking ages to shake it off.

Up in the skies over the wrecked battlefield, the Lord of the Blazing Eagle and the empire’s top figures floated wordlessly, expressions stunned as they surveyed the surroundings.

Destruction stretched endlessly into the distance—

Yet it signaled an astonishing triumph.

"We... we actually beat a Divine Court legion?" An old Sage Lord gulped, pushing the question out.

During the frenzy of combat, they had charged ahead on raw bravery alone. With thoughts now settling, overwhelming awe hit them like a surging flood.

That was the Starfont Divine Court—

One of the top recognized behemoths ruling the peak of universal structure!

And it got crushed straight-up by forces from the universe’s fringes?

It felt like pure myth.

It went beyond all their wildest dreams.

"A Divine Oracle legion... on such a massive level!" The Lord of the Blazing Eagle cracked a lopsided grin and shook his head, his tone laced with the empty fatigue following the shock—mixed in with a hint of doubt and thrill.

All the prior anxiety and strain vanished right then, giving way to a head-spinning rush of success.

"This came from His Majesty’s plan and guidance," Suggwoth stated flatly.

No thrill colored his words—just iron-hard determination.

The Lord of the Blazing Eagle and the rest’s eyes narrowed in a flash.

At this point, His Majesty Aurek finally solidified in their minds as a real, bottomless supreme being.

That ruler on the Celestial Light God Realm’s throne had risen far above simple leadership in their view. He came across more as an enigmatic, awe-inspiringly mighty, shadowy ultimate overlord.

"Keep chasing them down. Build on our gains!" Suggwoth gazed past the star domain to the ongoing pursuit’s distant glows and commanded without pause.

Right then—

An envoy from the Eastern Starfield hurried up to Alvin and whispered a directive.

Alvin heard it out for several moments. His face grew serious.

He shared the details right away with Suggwoth and Eternal Apollo Sunblaze via their mind connection.

"Halt the chase. Head back immediately."

Upon getting the update, Suggwoth showed no delay. He commanded every chasing group to pull back.

Deep in the Star Sea, Eternal Apollo Sunblaze—as a huge sacred avian—abruptly paused during the hunt.

His eyes still burned with fighting spirit, but he followed orders nonetheless. He pulled back his godly aura, gathered his forces, and started the retreat.

...

Celestial Light God Realm — Supreme Sanctuary

Aurek’s sight cut through boundless eras and voids, locking onto yet another brutal clash shown in the starry expanse.

Within the Chaotic Ruins, the clash between Cursefont Star God and the Primordial Giants’ leader had hit a fever pitch.

Before, he had misjudged the old leader’s capabilities.

The leader had not just hit the utmost limit of quasi–Empyrean Sanctum, but also tapped into a potent quality from chaos’s source—one that weighed heavily on Cursefont Star God and his troops.

And there was more to it.

Beasts from the Chaos Abyss and observers from the Reincarnation Divine Court hovered around the fight like scavengers. The danger loomed large.

Aurek needed to shift his strategy on the spot.

He reached a quick choice.

The clash against the Starfont Divine Court in Styx Sector mattered greatly, sure—but the struggle in the Chaotic Ruins tied directly to one of the empire’s key armies’ fate, plus a elite leader full of boundless promise.

Even at the cost of easing his full grip on Styx Sector for now, he had to focus on winning in the Chaotic Ruins.

"Send the command: Eternal Apollo Sunblaze’s troops must end all chases and Styx Sector cleanups right away. They’ll rush to support the Chaotic Ruins front."

Aurek’s words rang out across the chamber.

"Time is everything."

Regarding Styx Sector’s protection and troops—

"Summon Kaos."

That served as Aurek’s follow-up order.

Once, he might have thought about heading there in person to crush any issues with sheer dominance.

But the situation had changed now.

His exchanges on universal secrets with the elder god atop Heaven Mountain had brought huge rewards.

His quasi–Empyrean Sanctum level had not only firmed up, but he had caught a faint trace—a path toward Empyrean Sanctum.

He required moments to consolidate, pouring all attention into that vital advance.

Empyrean Sanctum—a gulf blocking endless talents and mighty dominators.

Innumerable elites stayed stuck at quasi–Empyrean Sanctum across thousands or tens of thousands of years until death claimed them—failing to seize those elusive fate-threads, let alone see the grand Time River.

It meant a core shift in being, a jump in life’s very tier. The challenge defied belief.

Without the elder god’s pointers, Aurek knew he could have squandered endless time too.

Naturally, that didn’t stop him from boosting strength via means like Emperor Points—but reaching the ultimate tier demanded that deep, arcane understanding in the end.

Before long, Kaos came from the imperial academy and knelt before the throne.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

With his own level raised, Aurek perceived Kaos’s concealed, profound strength more sharply.

It went far beyond a standard Sage Lord’s base—its vastness had already built up to challenge superior realms.

It seemed like some restraint or vow held him back, keeping him from advancing.

"Head to Styx Sector and handle its protection and troop duties for now," Aurek commanded straight out.

Kaos gave a small nod, though a subtle flicker of doubt crossed his forehead.

"What worries you?" Aurek’s gaze—vast as the Star Sea—pinned on him. He followed up evenly:

"I don’t plan to dig into your history or ties to Beyoncé. Still, Beyoncé stays in the Divine Sanctuary’s heartland right now."

"Unless a true supreme power shows up personally, nothing can budge the Gold Giant Gate."

Kaos nodded. He appeared to have decided.

He raised his face—and for the first time, met Aurek’s eyes with a near-peer look of scrutiny, then posed a sudden, unexpected query:

"Your Majesty... about the all-out war brewing with the Starfont Divine Court—how sure are you?"
