The fight at Toramos zone extended for a long time without the enemy showing any sign of stopping or retreating. They kept sending more reinforcements than the ones lost, and that turned that war into a war of attrition.
The enemy placed everything on stopping me from getting access towards the angelic world. And I warmly welcomed such a challenge.
The warriors I left behind were enough to keep this war running for years. At the same time, no one could stop me from getting into the angelic world.
On another note, the jerk that felt he was invincible and mighty thanks to the artefacts he gained from Toramos and others faced great setbacks.
The enemy didn't place much importance on their homelands at first. However after invading four of their homes, they started to mobilise tons of forces to intercept him.
He faced two defeats so far, and the losses in the forces he got from here were quite disastrous! At one of the two worlds, he lost more than half, and lost almost ninety percent of all his forces at the second world.
Lily told me she gave him another army, and when I told her about the issue of the incoming jumpers, she told me giving him tons of armies to lay waste to was a good idea.
At First I didn't like this thought. After all, I knew how unlucky this bastard was. Even after visiting eight worlds, he still didn't find the one that held his desired man.
However when she told me there was no other alternative but doing so, as many worlds were already on the verge of getting under our control, including the gods' world, I couldn't help but agree with her plan.
That dude was the magnet of bad luck and tons of trouble. Besides, attacking the homelands of those fiends and pressuring them would also help in the upcoming battle at the angelic world.
After settling all this, leaving the hardest part of solving this problem over to Lily and Toramos, I jumped back towards the Toramos zone.
And there I found tons of enemies fighting against my forces, without any side showing an upper hand over the other.
It looked as if two mighty oceans got opened at each other, sending massive waves to clash against one another. In the end, none of the two oceans would feel any loss until lots of time would pass.
And time was the thing that I didn't have any abundance of at the moment.
"Tsk! These fiends must have felt it by now… This quest is their loss already," I watched all the different troops in the enemy ranks for an hour or so.
The enemy used everything he had. Be it the fiends, the one eyed giants, the flying suited duded, and even worms! They used everything in their arsenal, trying to stop me and my forces here from getting access towards the angelic world.
I didn't know if such a desperate situation would be repeated again in the angelic world. However, by now, the enemy must have realised it.
No matter how hard they tried, they'd not be able to stop me.
"Are they trying to buy time to activate the last two disasters?" I faced all the forces the enemy had, even the high zombies were present here with Exomachines and other races and monsters that I didn't see before.
If the enemy used everything, and felt desperate to such an extent, then it'd explain what they'd do next.
Trying to buy time for themselves, to activate the last two deadly disasters, meant they already threw the flag of this quest.
One disaster was enough to kill lots of their forces and mine. And the second disaster was enough to detonate the entire universe here, killing everyone.
"Tsk! I didn't get any time to go into their homelands and seek those buried ancient machines…" I recalled my earlier plans about how to stop the first disaster from happening.
It was the third layer of defence, their third shield against any formidable forces like mine.
But I got no time to search their lands and look for ways to stop them. [Send a word back to Lily, tell her this…]
I knew I already tasked Lily and Toramos with a troublesome task. However the moment the angelic would start, the enemy would totally focus all his might to stop me here.
Losing many of their homelands would place lots of pressure on them. But if they were prepared to detonate everything, then they'd not care anymore about their homes.
They were going to explode everything, kill everyone, including themselves. The only thing that could stop them from doing so was for me to win this entire clash.
But that also didn't mean they could do such a thing, activate the two disasters on the spot. They needed to send tons of troops to their homelands, activate whatever they had there to launch the two deadly disasters.
The third shield, the first disaster, wasn't that hard to protect against. I instructed Lily to send troops inside shields in my twenty zones, sending the extra towards the other nineteen worlds where they'd be safe there.
The main threat would happen here, at Toramos zone, and back at the ten homelands of those fiends.
The disaster they'd launch using the buried tech would sweep the ten worlds of theirs alongside the zones connected to them.
The twenty worlds were already protected from such disaster, and all the zones that weren't connected to any of these lands were safe as well.
Zones like Toramos' were under the threat of getting hit. The enemy opened many gates here, and I had not enough time to crush them before the activation of the portal leading to the angelic world.
As for the second disaster, I'd say they'd take much longer to activate it. And something told me to activate such a disaster, they needed to activate the first one.
