Chapter 1503: Chapter 1171: Anti-God Power_2
The deities weakened by the Anti-God Power descended from the sky and immediately found themselves embroiled in close-quarters combat with the Golems.
Each person did not want the Divine Status they had worked hard to defeat to fall into the hands of another deity, so close combat was the safest choice. However, close combat was precisely what the Golems excelled at!
When they were in the Ninth Plane, the deities of Darkness had realized that the gods of the Ninth Plane, whether in long-range bombardment or melee, were basically fighting on instinct. After all, this was a world where any Tom, Dick, or Harry could become a god, and they did not receive any training after ascending, possessing only their instincts.
Now that they had come to the Eighth Plane, aside from the gods of this Plane appearing a bit stronger, their skill sets had not improved much. More importantly, even if you disregarded skill and compared pure Divine Power, these invaders were no match for the deities of Darkness.
Moreover, there was the existence of the Anti-God Power.
As the battle progressed, the Dark Saintess discovered something that greatly surprised her: the effect of Anti-God Power on a god could actually accumulate! Basically, the more Anti-God Power you applied to the enemy, the more their Divine Power output would be suppressed. Theoretically, if you were powerful enough to apply an equal amount of Anti-God Power to the enemy’s output, you could completely reduce the enemy to a mortal!
Soon, some gods realized that something was amiss. These gods were reasonably powerful and could just manage to withstand a few strikes without being slain by the Golems. But after enduring a few blows, they would begin to feel their bodies struggling to discharge Divine Power! Although some had noticed this from the start, they did not spread the word, thinking it was their own problem. In such a brutal environment, once it became known that there was a decline in the strength of one’s Divine Power release, the consequences would be disastrous. But then, just as an idiot suddenly blurted out, "Why has my Divine Power weakened?"
With just that one cry, all the gods became alert.
This wasn’t an isolated case!
If it wasn’t an isolated case, then suspicion could only fall on the shiny gold Golem girls in front of them.
"Go all out in the attack! Don’t waste time!" the Dark Saintess knew that the enemy had begun to waver and could flee at any moment.
Originally, the two sides were not on the same level of strength. Now, as the Golems started to attack with full force, they delivered a devastating blow to those petty gods. As invading gods fell in heaps, their Divine Status was continuously absorbed and taken away. The invaders in the rear quickly realized the gravity of the situation—these so-called new gods were not weak at all!
Some gods on the outskirts finally realized that this hunting excursion had essentially become pointless, and they turned to flee. Seeing some gods escape, others nearby also fled. The Golems were anxious now; the prey that had come to their doorstep was escaping, how could they allow that?
Armed with a Light Cannon in one hand and a long blade in the other, the Golems wished they could create countless Avatars. But they had none; they could only rely on themselves in battle. In the end, half of the invaders were slain, and the rest all escaped. Yet even with only half remaining, they had still racked up tens of thousands of victories.
These gods varied in strength and the intensity of their Divine Status. But for the Golems, it didn’t really matter, since they distributed the gains evenly. After the battle, their Divine Status was enhanced once again. In their private space, the number of so-called virus spheres of faith also increased, and their Divine Power surged unprecedentedly, with the Anti-God Power receiving further enhancement!
However, an obvious problem presented itself.
It seemed that such battles would not decrease in the future. But with not enough personnel, that was a serious issue. Was it necessary to create Avatars?
Avatars didn’t exist in the memory of the Golems. Golems had been at the pinnacle of martial power since their creation and didn’t need such trickery. According to Little Piggy’s description, once they entered the Sixth Plane, all gods would automatically learn some new knowledge, which would just appear suddenly as if directly imprinted. So now, if they wanted Avatars, they had to create them on their own.
Clearly, creating Avatars out of thin air was unreliable.
So, what was to be done?
Wait a second, Avatars?
Suddenly, the Dark Saintess thought of something.
Previously, in the upper Plane, at the phony Worm’s descent into the Heavenly Kingdom, they had created armor to disguise their true identities. However, those armors were powered by basic Giant cores. But now, after all, their own Power Core was Giant technology, so if possible, could they also create automated Golems powered by Divine Power?
The Dark Saintess’s suggestion was unanimously welcomed by all the Golems. Using the Golem knowledge from the External Storage Device combined with the knowledge within her core, the Dark Saintess began conceiving the power system. After all, this new kind of Golem would use Divine Power as its source, which required reevaluation of the entire structure. As for the appearance, the rest of the Golems immediately plunged into a vigorous debate.
