Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 581 -581-The War is About to Erupt
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
With an icy stare, the Dark Keep War God observed the events playing out before him.
He had casually tossed out that figure solely to probe the determination of those gathered. When the heated debates finally subsided, he broke his silence.
"The Reincarnation Divine Court will manage to summon two Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses, boosting the elite forces by fifty billion. The Starfont Divine Court has to equal that commitment."
His eyes shifted toward the Eternal Glory God King.
A brief pause hung in the air before the Eternal Glory God King gave a firm nod.
Balance between the factions was essential, or the alliance would crumble before it began.
No shock rippled through the group. Each domain's powers could still assemble a hundred billion top-tier soldiers.
Regarding the fifth Empyrean Sanctum powerhouse...
The Lord of the Endless River swiftly vowed to deliver one.
Five Empyrean Sanctum experts aimed straight at Aurek's demise!
Should he perish, the Emperor's fall would leave those tens of billions of leaderless soldiers ripe for swift elimination.
Alternatively, two Empyrean Sanctum figures could pin down Aurek, allowing the remaining three to descend and massacre the vast army of tens of billions...
Numerous strategies existed, each offering solid paths to dismantle the Crossbridge Empire!
The two Divine Courts wasted no time mobilizing their armies, yet other factions pursued their hidden motives, adding layers of complexity to the scheme.
...
Three days passed.
Tremors shook the Eastern Starfield, Styx Sector, and multiple adjacent Star Sea zones at once.
Three Origin Artifacts—the Annihilation Spear, the Heart of the Starfield Maintenance, and the Ouros Disc—descended into the heart of Styx Sector and two neighboring star regions.
Primal energy from the surrounding Star Sea surged wildly, twisting into a colossal energy whirlpool that locked into a triangular deadlock array.
A heavy, suffocating presence soon blanketed these dozen-plus star regions, along with the thousands of worlds within them.
Space across the Star Sea grew remarkably steadier.
It felt like some unseen power kept pushing back, neutralizing any lurking threats.
Even the Celestial Light God Realm, the Endless Continent, and the Abyss Demon Realm stabilized further.
This was Alvin's defensive magic formation in action.
"Drawing on the Star Sea’s might and the primal energy of these dozen or so star regions as its base, it can endure strikes from an Empyrean Sanctum powerhouse."
Philip, who supervised the setup, sensed the rush of primal energy through the Star Sea, his mind reeling.
During his studies under Alvin and alongside Lucio, he had absorbed vast knowledge.
"This setup shields the Eastern Starfield from outright destruction, but it can't halt actual battles," Lucio remarked, his forehead creasing as he scanned the Star Sea.
"Since Storm Thunder God fell, an eerie silence has blanketed the Star Sea's borders."
Philip's expression darkened too.
This was the tense hush preceding the tempest!
The brewing slaughter's aura already warped the Star Sea's framework, and they could sense its pressure.
A tempest loomed, yet the Crossbridge Empire had no choice but to confront it on its path to dominance.
Against the hungry stares of scavenging foes, the Empire would stand unyielding!
Triumph demanded fierce struggle and hard-won gains.
The lone question mark hung over the Aetherian Sanctuary's readiness...
Both turned their gazes to the Eastern Starfield, then soared into the Star Sea to deploy deadly traps.
Each added barrier meant one more safeguard.
...
Aetherian Sanctuary.
Aurek stepped into the Supreme Sanctuary.
Time flowed differently there, making it impossible to track the outside world's passage.
The Emperor Point blazed steadily as Aurek meticulously examined the scant drops of holy blood extracted from Storm Thunder God.
He sought to unravel mysteries tied to the Empyrean Sanctum.
With the Crusader Goddess guarding the realm, external chaos wouldn't disrupt his breakthrough.
This round, he aimed to surge directly into the Empyrean Sanctum!
One month onward.
At the fringes of the Thunder Star Realm.
The Eternal Apollo Sunblaze, commanding a billion-strong Sage Lord force, halted at the Star Sea's boundary.
He held back from launching an assault.
Reports from the Elemental Assassin spies revealed at least fifty billion elite warriors amassed within the Thunder Star Realm.
Their combat prowess ran high, drawn from the core ranks of both Divine Courts, packed with True Sage Masters and lurking Empyrean Sanctum threats.
"Assembling such might goes beyond the Thunder Warden Clan's solo power," Overthunder noted, positioned next to Apollo while eyeing the far-off star territory.
"Intelligence checks out—the two Divine Courts have jumped in fully."
He hesitated, then added,
"General, we must alert the Empire. They're singling us out here, and Cursefont Star God faces the same. This could be a ploy to pin us down before hitting the Aetherian Sanctuary. If so, counterstrike preparations are urgent."
Apollo gave a curt nod.
Should the two Divine Courts and Star Sea alliances strike, the Eastern Starfield would be their prime mark. This intel demanded instant relay.
As for storming the Thunder Star Realm...
That hinged on the Eastern Starfield's status.
The silent buildup of fifty billion soldiers here screamed deliberate trap.
...
Buried deep in the Thunder Star Realm.
Leon positioned himself amid the Star Sea, encircled by a cluster of allies.
Hellshark and the Fire Abyss Demon from the Reincarnation Divine Court.
Dongxing God King and Marquis Stanford from the Starfont Divine Court.
Rod, the dispatched potential Empyrean Sanctum talent from the Lord of the Endless River.
Plus over a dozen other budding Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses from scattered factions.
They had rallied close to a hundred potential Empyrean Sanctum experts, backed by hordes of True Sage Masters.
All knew the Eternal Sunfire War God's fearsome might. This assault poured in massive resources, zeroed in on him alone.
"They've caught on," Leon muttered, his brow knitting.
The Fire Abyss Demon's features stayed hidden under a spectral mask, showing no flicker.
"The Crossbridge Empire commands the Elemental Assassin legions. It's no surprise they've slipped in and uncovered our scheme."
He stopped short, then pressed on, "Whether they charge or hold back changes nothing. We just watch these targets closely."
The group agreed with nods.
By dominating this ten billion Sage Lord host, they could sap strength from the Eastern Starfield's central front.
Their true prize lay in the Divine Sanctuary past the Gold Giant Gate—the Emperor called Aurek!
Over this month, they had crafted a solid war strategy.
The two Divine Courts advanced at full speed. With armies in place, the assault would launch.
Their sole task here: wipe out Eternal Apollo Sunblaze's invading force.
...
Along the borders of the Elysium Starrealm.
The Fallen Angel Lord and Starwatcher God-King flanked each other in the Star Sea. Trailing them loomed a fifty billion elite force, boasting more than a hundred potential Empyrean Sanctum elites.
These ranks pulled from diverse alliances, swelled by the two Divine Courts' call-ups.
They locked eyes on Cursefont Star God's forces in the Elysium Starrealm, currently paused for recovery.
"The Eternal Sunfire War God and Cursefont Star God form the Crossbridge Empire's twin anchors," Starwatcher God-King declared. "Defenders like Suggwoth and Ares hold their own in fights, but they pale against these two!"
"Slaying them would sever Aurek's vital limbs."
The Fallen Angel Lord stayed quiet, his stare piercing into the star domain's core.
Within the Elysium Starrealm, Cursefont Star God, Ares, and their comrades detected the outer stirrings.
They promptly sent a messenger racing back to the Eastern Starfield.
...
At the defensive perimeter of Styx Sector.
Myriad planar portals ripped open in unison.
Millions, billions even, of crack troops flooded forth from the rifts.
The starry expanse of all clans quaked in awe!
Legions of mighty entities crept silently to the Star Sea's rim, hungry for the grand display.
Even the timeless beings concealed in the Chaos Singularity stirred from their lairs.
The Chaos Unicorn lurked within the Star Sea, stock-still, eyes glued to the action.
Primordial dragon elders, joined by select potential Empyrean Sanctum figures, watched from a distance.
This clash dwarfed their past brawl with the Star Divine Court!
...
Alvin emerged from his seclusion chamber.
Suggwoth, Ares, Lucio, Philip, and the rest clustered at the barrier, fixated on the swarm of portals blooming beyond.
Tension boiled over in the Celestial Light God Realm.
Minister after minister ascended to the Aetherian Sanctuary, surging into the Supreme Hall.
They had received Sophia's report from half a month prior.
Yet none foresaw the foes descending with such speed.
The whole Star Sea cosmos erupted in chaos.
