Trying to take these down by attacking them from the ground wasn't going to work. The best and easiest way was to let my fallen gods be hit first, then in the middle of the attack they'd start retaliating.
It was risky indeed, given that these star weapons looked a bit more powerful than the ones I dealt with before.
But I got enough souls to replenish what was lost. And with the thousand and half fallen gods here, I was sure to destroy lots of these star weapons in a short time.
"Go out, wreak havoc on these zombies to draw their attention," after watching them consume my stat crystals and getting stronger, I added, "once getting attacked, use your ultimatum to hit them back… Go now and may luck be on your side."
I watched them fly over and scattered all over the grand place. As they left, they started attacking the zombies, killing lots of them in no time.
The zombies were already having a hard time dealing with my scattered warriors. I watched many zones get devastated by the concentrated fire of my fallen gods.
Even if the zombies coming out from this super den were huge and strong, fighting against my fallen gods' attacks was indeed an overkill.
*Rumble!*
Then as I expected, the star weapons high above started to rain down deadly red beams over my fallen gods.
As I asked them to scatter around, the angels had to aim their deadly beams by activating a large number of star weapons.
At least a thousand star weapons got activated. Seeing this made me anticipate their next move.
The red beams were indeed hard to deal with. Even when my fallen gods were fighting with full stat power, they were still unable to withstand the full throttle of these weapons.
I saw many of them kneel on the ground while their bodies seemed to get tortured by the red beams. Without the need to ask, they were already in deep pain.
However, that didn't stop any of them from executing their ultimate attacks. Without the need for my words from earlier, any of them would be forced to use their strongest form of attack the moment they got trapped inside such deadly beams.
And when the fallen gods started to retaliate, the star weapons high above began to crack and crumble. As expected, the defences around them couldn't operate fully when they were firing.
One by one I saw the star weapons high in the sky bloom like red roses. They exploded in weird silence, while I knew the sound of their destruction was enough to devastate the entire Earth more than one time.
Seeing the red roses high in the sky made me feel quite relieved. I couldn't let more than one thousand join the fray as I knew there was a risk of losing them.
Paying just fifty million soul points was a cheap price I accepted without any hesitation. In return for that, more than one thousand star weapons got smashed and lost.
"Retreat!" Once the red beams started to fade away one by one, I knew that the angels would be shocked for a few minutes before returning to fume their rage over my poor fallen gods.
If I left them alone like that, they'd end up getting hacked again. I looked and saw how weak they were. They weren't just strong as they should be as the last usage of their ultimate attack came on the cost of withstanding the great damage dealt by the red beams.
All in all, this exchange wasn't bad. And as my fallen gods were too weak to even walk, I simply called them back.
*Rumble!*
Just as I called them back, the next moment many red beams landed over the places they just occupied. If I was one second late, then the retaliation of these angels would have crushed all of them.
Luckily I didn't let them walk over to me and acted faster than those angels.
I looked up and saw tens of thousands of these weapons flashing in a frightening way. This time the angels didn't launch a single weapon over each fallen god.
They learnt from their lesson, and I knew it would be hard to trick them again.
I wasn't in a rush to replicate the same thing. After all, my fallen gods were weakened and they needed time to rest.
I could simply use my stat crystals and other energy forms to heal their fatigue. Yet they still needed at least a few hours to return to their peak condition.
Right now I was standing inside one of the ten safe zones here. Seeing me taking back the fallen gods and remaining behind in a secure way, the angels decided to launch everything they got over my head.
Even with the protection of my shields, the concentrated fire of tens of thousands of weapons wasn't something weak.
I saw many layers of my shields get smashed in mere seconds under such a cruel attack. Watching such brutality made me grit my teeth.
It wasn't easy to fight many enemies at the same time. "Come out!" however if this was a threat, it was also a chance.
I called the over thousand exhausted fallen gods again. This time I also summoned ten thousand more of them and spread my stat crystals over the entire chariot and even on the ground beneath.
"Feast well, and then teach those motherf*ckers a lesson," I paid five hundred million souls this time to get the new forces on my side.
But it was worth it. After all, my earlier theory was proven right. Getting at these star weapons while they were attacking didn't need them to directly get bathed with such deadly lights.
This current attack over my shields was enough as well. This time I planned to take down a good chunk out of the angels' powers.
And this would serve also as a warning. If they kept coming at me, then they'd better be prepared to get their precious toys ruined.
In one minute, my fallen gods were ready to fight back. The ones who fell under exhaustion from earlier were also ready to fight.
I knew they'd take longer to rest if they used their ultimatum attack like this, but I needed any help even if it was just one thousand of them.
The next minute more then eleven thousand deadly attacks raced high above and travelled fast towards the star weapons high in the sky.
When the angels saw this, and while they tried to stop the attacking star weapons and shield them again from the defensive ones, it was already too late.
Eleven thousand star weapons were destroyed, turning the entire dimly lit sky into a bright sunny day with red roses filling the entire world above.
It was a magnificent scene to behold, one that was both beautiful and scary at the same time.
After the sudden loss of almost one third of their entire force, and half of their offensive force, the angels refrained from using their deadly weapon for now.
I knew they wouldn't just ditch the usage of these weapons, but they wouldn't feel free to use them at any moment like before.
The threat of destroying these weapons was indeed terrifying for them. I finally could heave a sigh of relief after seeing this. Now I could let my warriors fight as much as they liked without any worry.
But before anything, I took a tour first to strengthen the defensive shields again. Then I went directly towards that den.
It was all bright red inside, looking like a burning furnace of fire. Standing this close made me feel dwarfed and gave me the feeling of standing just in front of a burning red star.
The heat coming from it was indeed real and terrifying. Even the surface of my chariot's shield was shimmering and twisting under such heat.
"Time to test it…" I knew I lost any control over the shields that formed that den outlining. However I wanted to test and see if it was vulnerable to my attacks.
So I first summoned my light glaive. In the worst case scenario, losing it wasn't going to hurt me.
I didn't use any skill at all and simply stabbed the den with it. I expected many things, for the den to reject my glaive, to fight against it, but never expected for it to penetrate through it like it was made of rubber.
But before I was excited, I felt like my glaive got suddenly lighter. I grabbed it back and the area that got inside the den was now losing almost half of its size.
Even after taking it out, the surface of the remaining part was sizzling and releasing small bubbles like it was melting under the effect of corrosive substance.
Seeing this made me frown. I already expected to lose my glaive, but I never expected the den to have such corrosive substance.
I gazed upon this den in solemn way. This proved to be more challenging than I expected.
