Chapter 1505: Chapter 1172 Loyalty
Golems communicated with each other at incredibly high speeds, and all the golem girls quickly found a suitable location and began manufacturing the Long Yi-type automatons. They possessed equal strength, followed the same process, and manufactured at exactly the same pace. After the previous battle, they would likely not be disturbed in the short term. Thus, automaton after automaton of the Long Yi type was born in their hands.
During this period, the Darkness Saintess once consulted Little Piggy with a hum, "Should we take the initiative to strike and hunt for Divine Status? It seems they might be terrified."
But Little Piggy decisively shook his head, "No, defeating a bunch of weaklings shows that you are Powerhouses, and you’ll only attract more powerhouses who wish to seize the Divine Status. There’s absolutely no need to waste time running around; we just need to wait here honestly, and they will not stop unless they are wiped out three or four times."
Indeed, Little Piggy’s words were entirely reasonable.
Because soon after, the second wave of enemies finally arrived, and their numbers far exceeded the previous ones! Even though these gods hadn’t reached the nearby star region yet, the influence of their Divine Power had already begun to make the Darkness Saintess feel waves of discomfort. And as they drew closer, dust was remarkably kicked up on the planet that lacked any atmosphere. The dust was stirred up by the fluctuations of Divine Power, falling in the direction away from where the enemies approached. Soon, a sandstorm raged on the surface of the planet, revealing the metallic core below, as well as the deep pits left by the golems’ mining activities.
Suddenly, a very abrupt voice came from beneath the ground.
"Um, excuse me, may I ask you for a favor?"
Little Piggy jumped up with a start, "Wow," even startling the Darkness Saintess.
"Who?"
The Darkness Saintess asked cautiously.
"I am the planet beneath your feet..." the voice said.
"Um, okay, sorry for using your metals without your permission," the Darkness Saintess immediately felt extremely embarrassed and apologetic. Little Piggy, on the other hand, looked at the Darkness Saintess strangely. In the Divine Realm, it was a great gift for a strong god not to kill a weaker one; what’s the big deal about using some metal? Still, it was clear the Darkness Saintess wasn’t quite accustomed to the way of speaking here yet.
"Please, no need to apologize; it is my honor to serve the Powerhouses. It’s just that you’re about to engage in a great battle, and my cosmic dust used to isolate Divine Power has blown away, likely exposing my existence. I beg you, could you allow me to leave here first?" the planet almost pleaded.
"Okay, you can go," said the Darkness Saintess.
"Thank you! Thank you, kind one!"
The space warped, and the entire planet vanished in an instant.
"Big sister! How could you let it leave? That thing definitely isn’t so simple, it must have hidden there also wanting to bide its time to devour other gods! How can you be so kindhearted?" Little Piggy grumbled unhappily.
"No matter, we have one more or one less in this Divine Realm, it makes no difference," the Darkness Saintess actually felt indifferent, whatever that planet wanted to do was its own business, after all, everything was the same in this world.
Little Piggy hummed helplessly twice. There really wasn’t time to discuss these things now, after all, those gods were already above their heads!
"Come, sisters! Let’s show these invaders what we’re made of!"
The Light Cannons roared in the vacuum of space, and once Anti-God Power hit the body of a god, it immediately reduced the intensity of the Divine Power output. Before the battle, the opponent wouldn’t even notice this reduction. However, this time was different because in the last battle, all the gods had taken notice of this characteristic. So this time, all the gods in the heavens were desperately dodging and blocking the Light Cannons. Although directly blocking the attack of the Light Cannon consumed more Divine Power, compared to being weakened, this consumption was nothing.
Simply using Light Cannons was very hard to kill any god, as this was only the attrition phase. The real killing move would depend on the outcome of the close-quarter combat.
The greatest benefit of Divine Power was the ability to quickly assess the situation on both sides. This time, there were less than twenty thousand attacking gods, but their strength was far greater than the invaders’ from the initial assault, something they felt at the very first exchange. However, this strength was not in technique but in the sheer intensity of Divine Power.
However, although the enemy was numerous, only the gods nearby could actually engage the golems in combat. The gods on the outer perimeter could only watch helplessly, even some attempting underhanded surprise attacks!
But the golems were well-trained regular troops, their distances between each other seemed loose, but in reality, they could fully support each other if any problem arose.
After the initial probing, both sides immediately began the full assault phase. For the golems, the so-called powerful enemy was just a matter of a few extra slashes. And with each god that was slain, the golems became even more powerful. The invading gods didn’t gain any advantage with their numbers; in fact, the numbers seemed to further limit their performance. Some of the more stable gods hid behind, attempting to wait until the cannon fodder wore down the golems’ strength. But as one god after another was slain, their Divine Status and Divine Power absorbed, the golems became not only undiminished but continuously more powerful!
