Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 566 -566-The Shock of the Starfont Divine Court
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
Leonel held back his surging feelings and pressed forward.
"The Crossbridge Empire's ascent happened in just four or five years!"
"It emerged from a minuscule realm, and that ruler, Aurek, transformed from a helpless commoner into a quasi-Empyrean Sanctum powerhouse in merely four or five years too!"
"What—?!"
"Is this some kind of prank?"
Outbursts of astonishment came from Duke Maupassant of Sacred Mountain, the seven marquises, Duke Norman, the Lord of the Fallen Divine Realm, and the rest, cutting off Leonel's words.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor seated upon the throne had his eyes narrow just a bit.
Right then, gales and tempests stirred over the vast domains of the whole Starfont Divine Court.
With one mere notion from him, the illumination and shadows of realms would alter.
Both his fury and delight influenced the infinite worlds he governed.
Leonel and the others hastily lowered their heads in terror.
"Is this report... completely reliable?"
The Stellar Saint-Emperor's voice resounded throughout the chamber.
Reaching quasi-Empyrean Sanctum in four or five years—
Just those who had entered the Empyrean Sanctum could grasp the true weight of that feat!
Gazing back along the River of Fate through eons and origins... had anyone ever pulled off something like that?
Never!
Should this report prove real, then compared to that individual, even the greatest prodigies would fade into total obscurity!
He himself started to question things inwardly.
Leonel answered with dread and respect, "To Your Majesty: My agents have double-checked everything thoroughly. The report is without a doubt correct!"
"Aurek originated from a minor realm known as the Endless Continent. Initially, he claimed a throne in a remote corner, then abruptly surged ahead, conquering that small world, pushing onward to the Abyss Demon Realm, then the Celestial Light God Realm, and onward into the Eastern Starfield..."
He handed over the gathered documents.
The file detailed each phase of Aurek's journey from obscurity to his current position.
Sanctuary operatives had infiltrated the Endless Continent and delved into Crossbridge Eryndor City for a precise probe. That was how they assembled this document.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor scanned it bit by bit, his stare becoming increasingly somber.
Over every realm in the Divine Court, an oppressive weight settled simultaneously.
Duke Maupassant, Duke Norman, and the others observed with solemn faces.
Should all this hold true, the Crossbridge Empire's menace went far beyond its outward show.
For the Divine Court, this spelled a massive danger!
Particularly at this juncture, with the Divine Court locked in conflict against the Reincarnation Divine Court and the stalemate dragging on.
The emergence of the Crossbridge Empire right now would definitely disrupt the equilibrium between the factions.
A rear assault from it might not destroy the Divine Court outright—but it could easily plunge the whole conflict into turmoil.
"Over a hundred million sage lord legions!"
Having gone through the full details, the Stellar Saint-Emperor's eyes fixed on that phrase.
What intrigued him even further was this:
Precisely what could propel a failing mortal sovereign on the edge of ruin to become a supreme force so swiftly—and forge such an inconceivable army?
Was it perhaps... that hidden truth?
Boom—!
Precisely then, a silhouette burst into the Starlight Sanctuary Hall.
The Starwatcher God-King was back!
All gazes turned toward him—then everyone creased their brows together.
His level had dropped!
The Starwatcher God-King's vital essence had endured permanent harm.
The officials felt profound dismay.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor furrowed his brow and glanced across.
"Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty!"
The Starwatcher God-King prostrated himself.
"What was the outcome of the clash in the Eastern Starfield?"
The Starwatcher God-King remained bowed, his face contorted.
"Your servant has failed utterly. Our forces took devastating casualties in this fight."
"What precisely occurred out there?"
The Eternal Radiance God King appeared stern. "How did your power decline to this extent?"
As bearer of the Heart of Starfield Maintenance, the Starwatcher God-King ranked among the top fifty on the Star Sea Demigod Throne list.
Yet now he lingered in such a wretched condition.
Leonel fixed his stare on him too, a ominous feeling swelling within.
"I possess combat recordings. I beseech Your Majesty and the officials to review them."
The Starwatcher God-King promptly triggered an image crystal holding the entire battle log.
A grand vista materialized overhead in the Starlight Sanctuary Hall.
Within the projection, a colossal form loomed with dominating aura.
As that form effortlessly felled a quasi-Empyrean Sanctum foe with a single blade swing—
Every official in the hall had their pupils shrink sharply.
Next, that enigmatic barrier of radiance emerged.
Despite clutching the Heart of Starfield Maintenance, the Starwatcher God-King's full-powered assaults failed to pierce it.
Instead, his frame dissolved under the barrier's touch, much like some lowly bug.
Innumerable strikes flew forth, but nothing came within a hundred thousand miles of that form.
All manner of energies and barrages got utterly blocked by that barrier of light.
It resembled two separate realities torn asunder.
Afterward, that form unleashed a horrifying divine technique.
One blow eradicated myriad specialists!
One blow even cleaved apart a whole realm!
Here, the Stellar Saint-Emperor's gaze held added gravity—and intrigue.
Channeling quasi-Empyrean Sanctum might to rift open an ancient realm with just one sword swing—
Such a divine technique was nothing short of horrifically potent!
The rulers of the three domains, the seven marquises, Duke Norman, Duke Maupassant of Sacred Mountain... all held their breaths.
The projected figure was massacring quasi-Empyrean Sanctum foes.
That unassailable poise pressed even upon a high-placed Demigod-Throne expert like the Eternal Radiance God King.
Boom—!
The scene changed.
From a gigantic Gold Giant Gate, imperial troops flooded out like a torrent breaching a levee!
They blanketed the skies, seeming without end!
"Sage lord legions—!"
Leonel uttered in a hushed tone, his eyes locking rigid.
It surpassed a mere hundred million.
It reached billions.
Billions!
Everyone present in the Starlight Sanctuary Hall experienced a crushing sense of breathlessness.
Though battle-hardened and wise, they stood utterly dumbfounded now.
This completely upended all their prior beliefs.
No trace of feeling showed on the Stellar Saint-Emperor's features, but his eyes slowly chilled.
The projection went on.
Those armies encircled the Chaos Continent of the primordial heirs, then the troops charged ahead as if their existences meant nothing, wearing down everything in a wild carnage.
Successive ancient holdouts that had plagued the Starfont Divine Court for ages got systematically exterminated.
Amid the Star Sea, the tactics in the duel between that imperial presence and the heir chief were alarmingly fierce. Even the supporting quasi-Empyrean Sanctum heirs fell away one after another.
Suddenly, the viewers witnessed a vast Sunblessed Goldenflame Phoenix soaring skyward and crashing ferociously onto that Chaos Continent!
The landmass exploded in a deafening rupture.
The projection faded into haze, then disappeared entirely.
A heavy quiet enveloped the Starlight Sanctuary Hall.
Past the initial stun, nothing but peril lingered in their minds.
Billions of sage lord legions!
Battle prowess and divine techniques so overwhelming they stole the air from one's lungs!
They had all misjudged the profound impact of those four or five years.
That was merely one incarnation, yet it effortlessly overwhelmed quasi-Empyrean Sanctum foes.
One could scarcely fathom the dread his actual form must inspire.
"Your Majesty."
The Eternal Radiance God King spoke first, his tone deep and firm.
"This Crossbridge Empire's danger rivals that of the Reincarnation Divine Court."
"Your servant recommends we strike at the Crossbridge Empire without delay and wipe it out entirely. If not, should we clash with the Reincarnation Divine Court and the Crossbridge Empire attacks our flank, the fallout would be beyond reckoning."
Not just dismantle it—
It demanded total obliteration!
The billions of sage lord legions provided ample justification alone.
"However..."
Duke Norman knit his brows.
"To fully excise this empire, we'd have to deploy no less than eighty percent of the Divine Court's forces."
"And an Empyrean Sanctum must intervene directly. Should the Reincarnation Divine Court exploit that moment to attack, our position would worsen gravely."
The officials pondered deeply.
But Leonel advanced a step.
"Your Majesty, on this occasion, to capture that offspring of the Starborne Divine Court, powerhouses from numerous starfields converged—and many perished."
"This grudge is now set. From my inquiries into Aurek: he strikes without mercy or hesitation, and he won't overlook the clans and bloodlines tied to them. By allying with those groups and coordinating their efforts with ours, we can ease our burden considerably."
He halted briefly, then added.
"Furthermore, the Reincarnation Divine Court harbors its own feud with the Crossbridge Empire, and they also desire the mystery surrounding that offspring."
"We might devise a scheme to pull the Reincarnation Divine Court into this quagmire too. That way, the danger they represent to us would shrink naturally!"
