Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 573 -573-Numbers Determine How Fast the Enemy Drops to Their Knees
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
Over the boundless Star Sea—
With a single hand, the Cursefont Star God shattered the heavens of the Prime Law Astral Realm!
A torrent of chaotic gales flooded through the tear.
Every creature in that realm gazed upward, their eyes bulging in utter astonishment—
Such devastating force that could tear a world asunder was beyond their wildest comprehension.
In a flash, the Cursefont Star God fixed his gaze on Frank and the quasi-Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses.
Next, the imperial forces, vast like an ocean wave, poured forth endlessly.
"Wait! Please show mercy!"
"My Primeval Law Clan is willing to surrender entirely to the Crossbridge Empire—!"
Frank's eyes burned red as he unleashed a roar of pure desperation.
"My Primeval Law Clan is ready to submit to the Crossbridge Empire—even if it means eternal servitude as slaves!"
"Noble God General of the Empire, grant us just one chance—!"
"Please, grant us one chance—!"
His cry rang out like a soul plummeting into the void, a feeble lament on the brink of oblivion.
"Kneel—!"
"All of you, kneel before me—!"
Frank bellowed relentlessly.
That voice of utter hopelessness reverberated through the senses of every entity in the realm.
At that moment, innumerable beings collapsed to their knees in unison.
All they craved was a shred of compassion—a fragile thread of survival!
...
Elysium Star Realm.
Eternal Apollo Sunblaze commanded a billion-strong army that fully surrounded the Elysium Star Realm.
Before he issued the command to assault—
The portals of the Divine Empire swung wide.
Godlord Otto emerged at the forefront, bringing all members of the Elysian Divine Empire to face Eternal Apollo Sunblaze.
Otto bowed his head low and bent forward in profound submission.
"Honored War God of the Empire, the Elysium Star Realm offers itself as a vassal to Crossbridge. We never meant to challenge the Emperor’s supreme authority!"
"We pledge our loyalty to His Majesty Aurek as our sovereign. We implore your pardon for our transgressions!"
With those words spoken, Otto moved to the side.
Four women with golden locks and sapphire eyes stepped forth from behind him.
Each one embodied flawless allure, their forms radiating holy light, stunning in their ethereal beauty.
Despite the anxiety and dread etched on their faces, nothing could overshadow their unrivaled elegance!
Otto quickly presented them.
"Honored War God, these four represent the finest goddess maidens of our Elysium Star Realm. We hope they might have the honor of serving His Majesty the Emperor!"
This marked his last desperate ploy.
He had made sure to learn beforehand—that Emperor apparently harbored a keen interest in amassing stunning beauties?
All four bore immortal divinity and were hailed across the Elysium Star Realm by its myriad inhabitants as true goddesses—visions of every dreamlike ideal.
By presenting them, maybe the fury of the Crossbridge Empire could be appeased.
The inhabitants of the Elysium Star Realm lifted their gazes skyward, hearts heavy with sorrow.
These four goddesses stood as the pinnacle of their worship, the essence of all beauty they imagined, the supreme ideal chased by every soul in the Elysium Star Realm.
In their minds, they were holy icons—beyond reach, forever pure.
Yet now, they were being surrendered to the Emperor of the Crossbridge Empire...
They couldn't bear to dwell on it.
It felt like their most treasured possession had been seized and dashed upon the stones to be crushed underfoot.
Apollo took Otto’s capitulation, but with a stipulation: every expert from the Elysium Star Realm must be transported to the Crossbridge Empire for trial.
Deeply degrading, no doubt—but survival was assured. Thus, Otto and his kin accepted without protest.
Truth be told, they had braced for this very fate.
The four premier goddess maidens of the Elysium Star Realm were dispatched into the Twelvefold Aetherian Sanctuary as well.
However, the campaign of the expeditionary forces raged on without pause!
...
Celestial Light God Realm, Supreme Sanctuary.
Aurek had summoned the deity from the Heaven-Pillar to gain wisdom on Empyrean Sanctum breakthroughs and the universe's profound enigmas.
Via Sophia’s mediation, Aurek discovered that this deity was known as the God of Temptation.
Whether her title stemmed from her captivating beauty that ensnared all—or some deeper cause—remained a secret.
Her features stayed perpetually hazy, her presence enigmatic and elusive, as if she hovered in view yet eluded true grasp.
Sophia revealed that she had joined the Pantheon in the Primordial Epoch!
As to whether she originated in the Celestial Light God Realm or arrived from distant realms, verification eluded all.
Aurek chose not to probe further. His instincts told him—
The depths of knowledge held by the God of Temptation surpassed the wildest dreams of any cosmic entity!
In this guidance session, she outlined four distinct routes:
The Path of Living Beings, the Path of Kingship, the Path of Fortune, and the Path of Fate!
She delved into the myriad links binding them internally.
This aligned perfectly with what Aurek sought.
Her discourse plunged into the core truths of existence, transcending fate to touch the Star Sea's origin.
Aurek conceded—he had gained tremendous enlightenment!
Oddly, much of it seemed already etched into his consciousness.
As she elaborated, long-standing puzzles dissolved into sharp clarity.
"I have a question."
Within the grand hall, Aurek regarded the God of Temptation.
"Your grasp of universal secrets extends past fate itself. So why do you linger at quasi-Empyrean Sanctum?"
The God of Temptation draped herself in simple white silk, brimming with supreme divinity.
One might say she personified divinity in its purest form.
Her lips formed a faint line, yet no words came.
"If it's too sensitive to share, feel free to pass."
Aurek stated evenly.
The God of Temptation ascended the dais and surveyed the Divine Sanctuary's domain.
"Breakthrough eludes me due to constraints of this form—and a duty left unfinished."
She hesitated briefly.
"As for the details, Your Majesty shall learn them in due time."
She dangled an enigma.
At her stature, few matters demanded secrecy.
Only if it involved an inescapable taboo would veiling be necessary.
Aurek wisely let it drop.
The God of Temptation went on, "The secret to reaching Empyrean Sanctum rests in comprehending fate."
"Pierce your own essence. Discern the rise and fall of all life. Ultimately, you'll unveil the reality of so-called fate."
"In fact, Your Majesty already perceives much of this clearly. Personal trials alone remain absent."
Aurek sank into contemplation.
His journey spanned merely four or five years, but he had devoured billions of texts, mastered divine skills and hidden lore, and knew myriad taboo arts intimately.
Yet, grasping the tides of existence demanded more than poring over sacred writings.
"We'll conclude here for now."
The God of Temptation offered Aurek a gentle nod, her demeanor poised and deferential.
Afterward, she departed the Divine Sanctuary alongside Mily, who lingered beyond the doors.
Aurek stayed immersed in reflection, unmoving for quite some time.
Then his eyes shifted to the status display.
[Eliminated vast hordes of foes. Emperor Point +15,000 trillion quadrillion...]
Eternal Apollo Sunblaze and Cursefont Star God had driven their armies to dominate the Annihilation Starfield, the Prime Law Starfield, and the Elysium Star Realm.
Alvin had purged the surrounding Star Sea domains near the Styx Sector too.
The harvested Emperor Points sufficed to elevate yet another attribute legion to level 23.
Advancing to level 24, however, demanded 24,000 trillion quadrillion—a sum too outrageous to contemplate.
Dispatching one Sacred Radiance-rank foe netted only a handful of million hundred-billions in Emperor Points.
To amass 24,000 trillion quadrillion, how many such Sacred Radiance-rank adversaries must he fell?
The prior Eastern Starfield clash had reaped abundantly chiefly because the Starfont Divine Court deployed its "Frontier Wardens"—elite fighters all surpassing Sacred Radiance rank in might.
Still, this worked out well enough.
He could bolster his forces with one more level-23 legion now.
In recent days, the sage lord legions had spawned billions more soldiers.
With sufficient duration, unleashing hundreds of billions, trillions, or even tens of trillions of sage lord legions...
He doubted any force in the cosmos could endure their onslaught.
Sheer volume dictates the speed at which foes bow in defeat!
Better yet, five to six hundred million Sage Lord-rank Life Sorcerers had already emerged.
With one more upgrade to summon-troop rights, another Sage Lord-rank legion could join the ranks.
