Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
High above the arched skies, Aurek swept his sleeve dramatically.
Utilizing the mighty Threads of Fate like a sharp weapon, he cleaved straight into the Fate River, targeting the Primal Grail without mercy.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor responded in an instant, summoning a raging wave of deadly intent and hurling it straight at Aurek.
Empowered by the might of a sixth-tier Sage Rank and grasping the Primal Grail, he now matched the prowess of an eighth-tier Supreme Sage Rank!
This powerful blow held the potential to endanger—or outright destroy—Aurek’s avatar.
Confronted by the incoming strike, Aurek found himself forced to pull away.
He summoned his Eternal Barrier to fend off the fierce onslaught.
In that very instant...
Twenty-four unique auras burst out from the emptiness!
Dark silhouettes quickly assembled into a gigantic killing formation, charging at Aurek with unstoppable fury.
The dimensional sight burst wide!
A solid barrier of radiance smashed hard against the killing formation, far across millions of miles!
Boom—!
The devastating lethal energy got halted in its tracks.
The enigmatic shadow creased his forehead, his gaze brimming with shock.
His twenty-four Darkness arrays had the power to effortlessly eliminate a third-tier Supreme Sage Rank—yet this barrier of light held firm against such fury?
"David of the Darkness Mage Association!"
From the darkness, an aged Sage Rank voice cried out in alarm.
The ultimate authority from the Chaos Singularity in the Darkness Mage Association.
David stood as a force etched on the Tablet of Destiny, a genuine successor to the Darkness Mage heritage!
"No... that’s merely a projection of David!"
"What? Even this projection reaches fourth-tier Supreme Sage Rank?"
Shouts of disbelief echoed everywhere.
The intense aura of slaughter twisted the faces of the Crusader Goddess, Eternal Sunblaze, and Cursefont Star God into tense masks.
Eternal Sunblaze and Cursefont Star God soared upward, diving headlong at David’s Darkness array.
After defeating hordes of near-Empyrean Sanctum foes, they had now brushed against the edge of Supreme Sage Rank.
Just like the Dark Keep War God, they proved capable of facing off against a Sage Rank powerhouse.
"Withdraw right now!"
The Stellar Saint-Emperor grabbed the chance to order the God Generals stationed before the hall.
Aurek’s advance was stalled for the moment, yet the two-hundred-million near-Empyrean Sanctum forces still posed a grave danger.
Pressing the fight further would only sap the Divine Court’s strength for nothing in return.
The God Generals along with the battle-hardened near-Empyrean Sanctum troops hastily fell back into the Divine Court’s Starlight Magical Array.
Every other legion of the Divine Court pulled away too.
Clang—!
In Suggwoth’s left grip, the Cursed Sword quivered with wild force.
Multiple layers of bindings cracked apart, unleashing a savage wave of killing intent.
The blade fought to break free from his hold, even trying to erode his very resolve.
Suggwoth crushed it down with his own overwhelming killing aura, lifting his gaze toward David.
David picked up on the presence, arching a brow in interest.
A strand of destiny floated forth, blending seamlessly into the Star Sea.
The Cursed Sword writhed even more fiercely.
Suggwoth let out a cold huff, slamming the Slayer in his other hand with brutal killing power.
Clang—!
Steel rang out sharply.
A split formed in the Cursed Sword, and it wrenched loose from Suggwoth’s fingers, flying straight into David’s grasp.
David’s eyes blazed with lethal purpose as he examined the crack along the edge.
"So it was your scheme all along," Aurek whispered, his eyes sharpening.
He had delved deep into the origins of the Cursed Swords strewn throughout the Starry Heavens, fed by the blood of endless souls.
The culprit was David.
Spanning innumerable realms—from the Celestial Light God Realm to the Endless Continent—these Cursed Swords emerged, feasting on vital essence and drawing in malice to grow ever stronger.
Eternal Apollo Sunblaze and Cursefont Star God held the Darkness array at bay while Aurek crafted yet another blade.
The Imperial Source Codex transformed chaotic origins into boundless energy, allowing him to swing toward David with devastating force.
David’s hands moved swiftly, unveiling the real shapes of the twenty-four Darkness blades—elongated swords gushing dark power.
They merged in a flash into a round sword-barrier, thrusting ahead aggressively.
David himself drew back swiftly then.
"Aurek, hold your haste. Our paths will cross again before long."
His form dissolved into the chaos, though his chilling words lingered through the Star Sea.
He chose not to press the fight.
This was merely Aurek’s projection. Destroying it likely wouldn’t touch the true Aurek at all.
Should the authentic Aurek show up, the outcome would turn utterly uncertain.
With the sword reclaimed, there was no point in battling on.
Boom—!
The two forces clashed, tearing fresh rifts through the void.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor used the distraction to launch another assault on Aurek.
Eternal Sunblaze and Cursefont Star God poured out their full strength to intercept, granting Aurek precious seconds.
Still, Aurek stayed calm, invoking the Sword Judgement Domain with a thousand blades raining down upon the Stellar Saint-Emperor.
Meanwhile, the one hundred million Doomsday Warriors, bereft of the Divine Court’s legions to strike, unleashed Silent Extinction, showering divine retribution upon the Stellar Saint-Emperor.
They couldn’t harm him deeply, but the threat they posed kept him wary.
In another spot, the Apex Star God and the ancient sage-rank found themselves overwhelmed by Venus’ relentless pressure.
Once the Eternal Divine Radiant manifested, the ancient sage-rank got cut off deep within the Fate River.
The Apex Star God suffered severe injuries.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor glanced toward the Endless Forest Sea, fixing his sight on the Saint Emperor of the Cycle, fully grasping the chaos unfolding there.
"Fall back into the Starlight Magical Array!"
He barked the order without delay.
The Apex Star God and ancient sage-rank scrambled away in chaos.
Now, the Stellar Saint-Emperor stood alone, pitted against Aurek’s projection and the Crusader Goddess Venus.
He knew that without overcoming Aurek, victory slipped from their grasp entirely.
...
The Crusader Goddess lashed out at the Starlight Magical Array.
A burst of protective energy flared up, repelling the blow.
She shifted her aim to the Stellar Saint-Emperor next.
He dodged back quickly, positioning himself over the arched heavens.
A colossal divine art started to build up.
His hands spread abruptly, and he bellowed with icy resolve:
"Sacred Star-Origin Lion, emerge—!"
Roar～～!
The roar thundered through the Star Origin World, rattling the Star Sea to its core.
Deep in the Divine Court’s heart, a whole continent crumbled into a swirling abyss.
From the raging whirl, a lion’s massive head pushed through.
Its form pulsed with supreme laws and harmony, overflowing with godly might.
In the blink of an eye, it vaulted skyward, its body spanning billions of meters and eclipsing the firmament.
It burst free from the Starlight Magical Array, shifting into howling gales and dust, flooding endlessly into the Stellar Saint-Emperor.
His presence exploded anew, surpassing seventh-tier Sage Rank—and rising higher still!
"Sacred Star-Origin Lion...!"
The God of Order, the Judicator, and the Silver Gentleman’s faces paled in horror, as they fled with all speed.
Onlookers of ancient sage-rank status froze in utter incredulity.
The Sacred Star-Origin Lion formed the very essence of the Divine Court’s origins!
Fostered by the Divine Court’s destiny across a full age, it now unleashed the Court’s total power.
If the clash dragged on, how many legions of the Crossbridge Empire would endure?
The Stellar Saint-Emperor’s frame started sprouting feral traits.
Aurek’s expression grew somber.
He signaled his forces to retreat.
His actual body, far across the Star Sea, detected the change, poised to arrive in a heartbeat.
At this juncture, the Crusader Goddess paused for a split second.
Then, she unfurled her palm, etching a cryptic symbol into the emptiness.
A deep luminous formation ignited, shining with fierce intensity.
She clenched her fist and pulled forth the grip of a greatsword.
Aurek’s eyes darted her way.
No one moved to stop her.
The Crusader Goddess, showing no doubt, channeled every lingering trace of killing intent from the Star Origin World into the sword’s handle.
The edge grew longer by a fraction, its overwhelming slaughter aura slicing clean through the Star Sea!
In that instant, the Stellar Saint-Emperor felt a terror that chilled him to the marrow.
Myriad ancient sage-rank entities detected the matchless force.
The Judicator’s eyes narrowed to slits, flashing with profound wariness.
"Fall back!"
He yelled, dashing away in panic.
The Silver Gentleman and God of Order, puzzled yet driven by instinct, trailed after him.
The Judicator, as a lingering spirit from a mythic Supreme Sage Rank blade, sensed sword intent like no other.
If terror gripped even him, the might had to be beyond horrifying.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor drew in the Sacred Star-Origin Lion’s essence, eyeing Venus as she summoned the holy blade.
The instant that aura hit him, a thread of dread crept in.
Without a second thought, he charged at Aurek and Venus.
He needed to eliminate them before the sword fully emerged.
Clang—!
The sword pulled free entirely.
Venus wasted no time, slashing it toward the Stellar Saint-Emperor.
The Stellar Saint-Emperor morphed into the Sacred Star-Origin Lion, his colossal form of billions of meters glowing in Starlight.
Claws gathered and solidified, lashing out wildly.
A streak of brilliance trailed behind—the lion’s talons hurtled forward.
The Sacred Star-Origin Lion’s skull cleaved apart in halves.
Every safeguard of the Divine Court shattered in a heartbeat beneath the lingering power of this devastating stroke.
