Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 619 -619-The Heart of Earth Takes Initiative
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
"Your Excellency ought to comprehend the significance of everything here," the Sword-Sea Emperor's words reverberated across the Abyss of Slaughter.
"Forget just one year—even after ten, the immense army he has assembled points to some horrifying mystery concealed within."
"That Supreme Being abandoned the Dark Abyss in the Ten-Thousand Races Starfield, complete with endless enigmas."
"Aurek has seized the twelvefold Aetherian Sanctuary tied to her... It makes one ponder if the Dark Abyss connects to him as well."
"Regardless of that, Aurek's hidden truth must tie back to that Supreme Being!"
After voicing his thoughts, the Sword-Sea Emperor remained quiet, allowing the other to mull over his statements.
The God of Slaughter held tremendous might as a Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank. Pulling him into a clash against Aurek would boost their chances of victory immensely.
Sharing this information upfront was bound to lure him in.
A prolonged hush settled over the Abyss of Slaughter.
The God of Slaughter held off on responding right away.
Deep astonishment and deep reflection consumed him entirely.
Beyond the Abyss, the remaining ancient powerhouses sensed they were hearing an unbelievable legend.
Spanning innumerable eras, they had never encountered such a staggering concept.
It resembled a mere insect shattering a cosmos—an idea so ridiculous that they questioned its feasibility.
Still, the demeanor of the Sword-Sea Emperor and the God of Slaughter indicated its authenticity.
Clearly, if not a remnant from that Supreme Being, what power across the vast Star Sea could achieve something like this?
"What is your aim in revealing this to me?"
"Are you hoping I'll ally with you against Aurek?"
At last, the God of Slaughter responded, his voice icy.
"Precisely. It hinges on whether the God of Slaughter deems it worthwhile," the Sword-Sea Emperor answered, fixing his gaze upon him.
A derisive chuckle escaped the God of Slaughter.
"Assuming your account holds true... Aurek wields Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank-level power, commands a hundred-billion-member Quasi-Empyrean Sanctum force, and has utterly crushed your Sword Universe..."
"The Crossbridge Divine Court's base is robust enough to obliterate the Senllo Universe! Do you plan to lure me and the Slaughter Realm into doom?"
Shaking his head, the Sword-Sea Emperor noted the God of Slaughter's underlying interest.
"You're mistaken. Beyond the Slaughter Realm, the Heart of Earth, the Reincarnation Sanctuary, the Luminous Land of Nasei... every neighboring universe informed of the Origin Sword Sea's plight will band together."
He halted briefly before adding:
"Capturing Aurek is all we require."
Absolute conviction rang in the Sword-Sea Emperor's tone.
"We merely desire the mystery he harbors—nothing else, right?"
Lifting his gaze a bit, he met the God of Slaughter's eyes directly.
"Launching a full-scale war on the whole Crossbridge Divine Court, even with all northern cosmic powers assembled, might fail. If brute force won't prevail, why not resort to cunning tactics?"
"We target only him—Aurek alone. Surely you can handle that?"
The fall of the Origin Sword Sea brought the Sword-Sea Emperor no sorrow.
At his level, he had transcended all worldly ties long ago.
Feelings were chains. Worries were flaws. Eternity was his sole pursuit.
Had it not been so, he wouldn't have forsaken the ancient Sword Sea to flee the fray by himself.
Rallying several veteran Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks for a direct assault on Aurek would suffice.
...
Boom—!
Right then, a silhouette ripped through the void, arriving at the Senllo Universe.
This was an elder Supreme Sage Rank expert, fresh from scouting the Sword Universe's fringes.
He relayed his findings honestly to the God of Slaughter.
Every detail he shared matched exactly with the Sword-Sea Emperor's account.
The God of Slaughter's expression grew a shade grimmer as he passed on the full report to the entity buried deep in the Abyss.
Silence stretched endlessly within the Abyss.
Tidal waves of the Light of Fate surged, mirroring the God of Slaughter's inner unrest.
After an extended period, the form enveloped in the Light of Fate uttered at last:
"I shall move."
He stopped, his tone steady.
"That said, as you've vowed to recruit the Heart of Earth and the Reincarnation Sanctuary's old guards, I'll await your positive update."
The Sword-Sea Emperor nodded faintly, showing no astonishment.
A mystery granting Aurek such extraordinary prowess proved irresistible to Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks, compelling them to stake it all.
Indeed, Eternity was something none could turn away from.
The Sword-Sea Emperor's presence slowly dissolved into nothingness.
"Best not delay your moves," the God of Slaughter's voice held a subtle edge of caution.
"Should word spread too widely, troubles will mount."
Despite the Sword Universe's position north of the Arcane Divine Sea, tidings of its ruin would swiftly propagate to the boundless universes' borders.
Soon, all would learn of it.
With too many predators and scant prey.
No response came from the Sword-Sea Emperor as his form winked out entirely.
...
Inside the Abyss, the Light of Fate ebbed away gradually.
The God of Slaughter and the ancient giants ventured further into the depths, prostrating before the veiled silhouette.
"Lord," the God of Slaughter intoned, his voice grave and respectful.
"The Sword-Sea Emperor arrived solely due to the Origin Sword Sea's demise. By divulging this enigma, he undoubtedly aims to enlist us for vengeance!"
Hands folded behind his back, the God of Slaughter wore a slight chill smile.
"Be it a key to Eternity or not, Aurek's actual secret is shockingly potent already."
"Delaying action means the whole Chaos Singularity will soon erupt into motion."
Swiveling around, his gaze brimming with infinite slaughter aura pierced past the Abyss.
"My goal is simply to behead Aurek, avoiding a frontal battle with the full Crossbridge Divine Court."
"Regarding the secret's final destiny..."
His words tapered to a murmur.
"Hmph! Let each seize it by their own prowess."
The God of Slaughter bowed his head in firm agreement.
...
Departing the Senllo Universe, the Sword-Sea Emperor made straight for the Mountain Rock Divine Domain.
This domain served as the stronghold of the ancient force known as Heart of Earth.
The Heart of Earth commanded two Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks, its roots far deeper than the Senllo Universe's.
Gaining one of them would inevitably draw in the other too.
Such a secret propelling Aurek to unimaginable peaks had already swayed the God of Slaughter; how could these pair stay unmoved?
"Your intentions are clear to us," a thunderous voice boomed as the Sword-Sea Emperor crossed into the domain's limits.
"We'll join the fray at the appointed hour!"
The Heart of Earth's Supreme Sage Ranks had been aware of the Origin Sword Sea's fall for some time.
Certain ones had even observed the mythic duel of Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks from the domain's periphery.
The Sword-Sea Emperor's eyes tightened marginally.
While he avoided the toil of elaborate convincing, assessing the true sentiments of these two seasoned Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks demanded a face-to-face encounter.
In truth, his scheme to gather these Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks stemmed from no goodwill.
He merely aimed to forge a chance to claim the secret himself.
"Very well, we'll observe at the crucial moment," the Sword-Sea Emperor mused inwardly.
Their participation was the key point.
With additional Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks on board, overpowering Aurek became straightforward.
He refused to accept that Aurek, no matter his prowess or guile, could surge to a level challenging several Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks in just days.
"I trust you won't overlook this magnificent feast," he concluded, tossing the remark over his shoulder as he wheeled away and left.
