I could tell how limited space that cave down below had. It wasn't spacious enough for a grand army of mine to be present alongside the densely packed enemy forces.
Besides, whoever got the higher vantage point in attacking the other would have it much easier. So I let my digging team expand this area, while leaving my fallen gods to keep devastating the ground, expanding the hole downwards.
Of course their digging speed wasn't like the speed of the digging team using their colossal machines. Not to mention my fallen gods ran all the time on fuel, needed lots of energy to operate and keep using their ultimate skills.
But I had to expand this entire place and renovate it to be suitable for the grand upcoming battle. So I let my fallen gods work as grave diggers this time, while waiting.
The digging team could dig and expand this place to cover up the entire continent even if they got time to do so. But I didn't want to carve out another continent here. And I didn't get enough time to begin with.
In fact during the past ten hours, the light coming from down below expanded and intensified. Right now looking at this cave made me feel like looking directly at the heart of a star, from a very close distance to it.
"Enough!" after twelve hours of digging, the entire space here was enough to accommodate tens of millions of people, "start digging at the hole. And be prepared to leave the moment I give you the order."
I knew the moment that hole reached the level of that cave, a deadly fight would erupt. These machines were priceless to me and my kingdom at this moment.
After all, this cave didn't have the rest of the bombs in the world. There were still tons of bombs scattered all over the other continents of the enemy. And waiting for the research department to make new digging machines wouldn't do.
So I wanted to not suffer much. The moment the hole reached close to the cave level, even cracking its surface, I'd give the order and they got to retreat.
The hole was getting closer from the level of the cave fast. I got to enter my mirror world from time to time to check on the distance remaining from the cave. In the next few hours, I started to enter the mirror world once every ten minutes.
"Retreat! Stop what you are doing right away, collect your gears up, and move fast!" I shouted the moment I knew it wouldn't take long before the cave would be breached.
The next few minutes were really hectic here. The workers and research team members all started to leave. In fact, I didn't like them trying to climb all the way up, and simply summoned a gate to lead them back to the ground zero area.
"Wait for me there," I said to those leaving, "and make more digging machines, train more workers on them, got it?"
They left after confirming they would do what I said. I even sent a message over to Lily, to make sure things were going according to my will.
Then after waiting for one hour, the entire place returned calm again. "Go, dig the last part out, and don't stop when you reach the cave level," I waved my arm towards the fallen gods, while controlling my chariot and flew above the hole.
To make sure nothing wrong would leak out from down there I started summoning my shields. The moment I took away that b*tch and imprisoned her inside my chariot, and all the limitations enforced on me were removed.
I could now use my pillar freely, in addition to my precious cube.
I thought about using the cube and sucking in everything and everyone inside the cave. But something warned me against doing this. If the enemy had a method to let the bombs get activated anywhere anytime, then taking these away wouldn't help at all.
I got to find that mechanism, destroy it before doing anything else. So I just limited my actions to summon these shields, not even thinking about using my explosive bones.
*Crack!* *Boom!*
The moment my fallen gods reached the bottom, a loud cracking sound came from down below. Then a violent explosion occurred, and it was just the first.
The entire place rumbled and trembled under the fierce explosions that came next. It seemed that my fallen gods were fighting against something horrifying coming out from that cave. And it seemed the clash between the two sides was enough to shock the entire world even.
I didn't hesitate anymore, entered into my mirror world and there I saw it. The energy inside the cave was trying to gush out, to be stopped midway in that hole. I didn't need to go down there myself to see what was happening right now.
"Whatever they were doing down there is trying to get out… And something tells me letting it come out is a big mistake…"
I muttered this for a few seconds, before finally controlling my chariot and headed directly towards the hole. I had nothing to fear as long as my chariot was on my side.
My baby took me all the way down to the midway in the hole. And there I saw my fallen gods struggling to keep that immense and blinding light coming from the cave with their ultimate attacks.
"Come back!" I knew my fallen gods were strong enough to crush anything, but they had a fatal weakness. Their energy was limited, and they got to replenish their lost energy from time to time.
Seeing tens of thousands of fallen gods struggle to keep that energy at bay was enough to let me imagine what would happen when they'd lose energy. So I didn't hesitate anymore, took one dark realm bone out, activated it, before releasing it at the hole.
At the same moment I threw it, I called back all of my fallen gods inside my inventory. And then two mighty forces erupted, clashed against each other, eating up all the rocks around.
