Opposite them stood an ocean of human cultivators.
The aura emanating from the seven gods was completely different now that they had returned to the Origin Realm.
Even when they were faced with a seemingly endless sea of sword light, they seemed to be totally nonchalant.
The Moon Goddess harrumphed. “What’s the use of having so many ants?”
A warm, genial light spread out from her. Each strand of light was calm and gentle, but that gentleness belied a fatal killing intent.
The sword light was actually finding it difficult to advance into the gentle moonlight.
A powerful wave of light surged forth from the horizon. That was the environment’s natural response to the powerful wave of energy. Yet again, Origin Energy and Method Power were both thrown into chaos.
But by now, both the humans and the gods had already advanced far beyond this level and remained unaffected.
Next, the Lord of the Dreamrealm opened his mouth, from which poured out countless Dream Demons.
These Dream Demons were not actual creatures. Instead, they were pure consciousness lifeforms, and mainly subsisted off of devouring their opponent’s consciousness power. They could also absorb other people’s memories, wipe out their humanity, and mess with their logic.
Unleashing so many all at once directly influenced the human army on the consciousness level.
A few of the human cultivators were affected and suddenly began to attack their own comrades in their confusion. The human race’s formation was immediately thrown into chaos.
“Immortal energy protects me. I will not move!” A voice spoke, echoing in everyone’s ears.
Immortal energy surged forth, causing all the apparitions to disappear. In fact, the power of the Boundless Sect’s sword light seemed to intensify as they pushed back against the Moon Goddess’s power.
“Forbidden power!” the gods all exclaimed at the same time.
This power was called forbidden power because of how much of a threat it posed to the gods.
With immortal energy protecting their bodies, the human soldiers were now able to completely ignore the effects of the Dream Demons. Their hearts regained their calmness once more, and their focus steadied.
“That forbidden power must be exterminated once and for all!” a voice loudly rumbled. It was the Fire Sword God who had spoken up.
This god was wearing a set of flaming red scaled armor, and each one of its scales seemed to glow with the intense power of fire. Shockingly, he had manifested an illusory image behind himself, and it was surprisingly similar to the Aspects that Su Chen had developed.
The image behind the Fire Sword God was that of an upside-down tree. Its massive roots extended far into the sky while below it was a path lined with fire and swords.
And on that path lay countless skeletons.
As the fiery path extended into the battlefield, so too did the death and destruction caused by the fire and the swords.
Even with the protection of Su Chen’s immortal energy, the human soldiers who were affected by these flames and swords began to fall one by one.
And for each one that died, another skeleton appeared along the path.
“Titans, attack!”
Su Chen decisively unleashed his Titan-Clas puppets. Thousands of the puppets charged forth in formation, attempting to stifle the advancement of the path of flaming swords.
The path of flaming swords consumed the vitality of any nearby living creatures, killing them. Even immortal energy could not reverse that effect. The Titan-Class puppets, on the other hand, were not alive and thus did not fear the flaming swords.
In addition to the Titan-Class puppets, there were also Demon Metal Colossi, which were shrouded in dark light. These were another type of powerful puppets that were equivalent to Thought Manifestation Realm cultivators that were also created by Su Chen. The Titan-Class puppets’ main limitation was that they were expensive to construct, which meant that Su Chen had only been able to make a few thousand of them before running out of materials. Lowering their strength by a tier would greatly decrease the cost of construction, and this new generation of puppets were the Demon Metal Colossi, which had been produced by Su Chen at a furious pace.
Once the Barrier fell, Su Chen knew that his puppet army would become one of the important cards he could play in the fight against the gods, which was why he had been producing them nonstop and using his God-Sealing Method Power on them as often as he could.
These puppets were all made by Su Chen. Additionally, none of them feared death, and they could move as if they were one.
In some sense, they were even more valiant than human soldiers.
Countless puppets charged forth, forcefully halting the advance of the path of flaming swords.
The Mother Goddess blinked when she saw this.
She did not personally attack. Instead, she spoke.
“My creatures, you are all my children. Will you really betray your Mother?”
The Harpies were indeed the Mother Goddess’s creation. The tens of thousands of years that they had spent worshipping her had left an indelible impression in their hearts.
Such a deep-seated predilection towards worship was hard to ignore. Actually, most of the Harpies, even now, still secretly worshipped the Mother Goddess in their hearts.
As soon as the Mother Goddess spoke these words, all of the Harpies felt their hearts jolt with emotion.
Their Mother Goddess was personally calling for them to return.
A few Harpies could not stop themselves from falling to their knees and start praying to their goddess.
And a few other Harpies even began glaring at the human soldiers with venomous expressions. The grudge that they bore for being defeated and subjugated was rearing its ugly head once more.
This time, however, Eternal Night spoke back.
“Mother Goddess, we Harpies have never disputed the fact that you are our mother. However, we have grown up and now desire to have our own independence. Even so, we would prefer to not have to fight you. We are willing to accept whatever way you would deal with us, but I hope you can forgive your children, for we have also made up our mind to fight for our freedom.”
As Eternal Night spoke, Sky City repositioned itself, turning to face the Barbarian God.
Longue let out a maniacal laugh. “Come at me! Let’s enjoy this bloody battle to our heart’s content.”
As he spoke, the giant battleaxe in his hand descended towards Sky City.
The axe crashed into the barriers, sending a brilliant shower of sparks flying in all directions.
There were ninety-nine Arcana Towers and tens of thousands of Arcana Masters supporting the barrier, but it had collapsed after taking just a single strike.
This was the might of the gods!
Sky City’s barrier, which had managed to withstand hundreds of attacks from a Desolate Beast, had shattered like a mirror from a single blow from a god.
The Barbarian God’s might was obvious.
“Hahahaha, how exhilarating!”
Longue had never developed the omniscient and sanctimonious demeanor that most gods displayed. Even though he was a god, his temperament was just as brash as the Ravagers’. His battle axe descended again, this time clashing against the Harpies’ all-out counterattack. Sky City alone could not stop Longue, but it still had its Floating Points around to support it.
As of now, the Harpies still had three Floating Points — the Origin Light Castle, the Origin Energy Demonic City, and the Chaos Tower. Su Chen also called out the Mother of All Bugs and his sovereign Void Seahorse pet. All of these came together to help Sky City withstand Longue’s attack.
Su Chen had also given the Harpies a secret technique to cultivate. He was so generous that Eternal Night felt slightly embarrassed that he had even uttered the word “independence” during his speech against the Mother Goddess.
Using independence against faith and immortal energy against divine power was the basis of Su Chen’s plan, as that was the only thing that he could do.
This battle was essentially a battle of the old versus the new.
Even though the old had experienced a long fall from grace, they were still very powerful in their own right. And even though the new was experiencing a meteoric rise to power, they still had not reached their peak, and the old still posed a significant danger to them.
All they could do was rely on their hot-bloodedness to attack, defend against, and challenge those lofty existences who were out of reach. They would use countless lives to make up for the enormous gap in strength.
A wave of darkness suddenly surged forth.
The Night Goddess had made her move.
This Night Goddess had once been a high-tier god, and like the others, she had experienced a drastic decline in status after being confined to Kun’s territory.
After returning, she was one of the first to recover her strength.
At that moment, the boundless cover of darkness blanketed whatever area she cast her gaze upon. Her attacks were hidden and formless, making them extremely hard to defend against.
Anyone who was caught in her gaze would be shrouded in darkness and then turned into a shadow.
This was the power of the Shadow Realm.
Su Chen was very familiar with this kind of power. After all, it was actually the first kind of power that he had obtained.
From her attacks, it could be seen that the Night Goddess had many ties to the Shadow Realm. When she had been trapped in Kun’s territory, the Barrier of the Gods had isolated them from all the other realms, which was why she had lost her connection to the Shadow Realm. But now, she had finally returned.
As the wave of darkness swept across the battlefield, the people that the Night Goddess turned into shadows actually turned on their former comrades.
This shadow conversion was a process that not even immortal energy could reverse.
Once they were converted, their new form was permanent.
The Night Goddess’s attacks were not quick, but they were extremely sinister. Even Sky City’s barriers could not stop her from affecting the army, so in terms of offensive power, she was probably the strongest of the seven gods.
This was why Su Chen immediately went to fight her.
His figure flickered as he reappeared in front of the Night Goddess. At the same time, tens of thousands of Beasts appeared behind him, forming the only source of white light amongst a sea of gold.
Su Chen’s Universe of Beasts immediately encompassed the Night Goddess.
The Night Goddess let out a fierce hiss as boundless darkness surged forth towards Su Chen.
Su Chen responded with a wave of his own immortal energy.
Immortal energy could not save those who had already been converted, but it could withstand this wave of darkness.
Even as the Night Goddess’s attack was stopped by Su Chen, Su Chen’s attack had already arrived before her.
A God-Executing Jab pierced forth as the Shining Dragon danced behind it, unleashing a wave of white flame that drove the darkness back.
“Su Chen! I can’t believe that you dared to choose me as your opponent. You really must be confused,” the Night Goddess giggled.
Her hair began to undulate in every direction as a new wave of darkness began to spread out, from which surfaced strange, shadowy creatures.
Su Chen, however, chuckled coldly in response. “I chose you because you’ll be the easiest to kill.”
Following these words, the Beasts behind him began to roar and howl.
This terrifying cacophony of noise actually posed a physical threat. The darkness was once again forced back, this time by the wave of sound.
The Night Goddess, however, was much more infuriated by what Su Chen had just said than by him blocking her attack.
“What did you say?” Her eyes began to cloud over with a pitch-black inkiness.
“Let me clarify: you may possess a strong offensive power, but your vitality is the weakest amongst the seven remaining gods. You are the ideal god for me to strike down first, just like how the first Desolate Beast I killed by myself had the weakest vitality,” Su Chen calmly replied.
Su Chen’s logic was extremely direct. The ideal target for him had a powerful offense but a weak defense. Against him, they would always be the first to die.
He had done this when he had targeted the Desolate Beast, Hidden Cloud, and he was doing it again with the Night Goddess now.
Everything had been carefully calculated down to the wire. No emotion had factored into his decision at all.
To the Night Goddess, however, this was obviously not what she heard.
To her, she had been labeled as the weakest god by this evil bastard!
The Night Goddess shrieked with unrestrained anger as a sea of darkness threatened to drown Su Chen.
“Acquiesce and become my most loyal servant. As a reward, I will torment you day and night for eternity!”
