Chapter 1602: Chapter 1214: Taking the Initiative_2
The fluctuations of space rupture alarmed every White Dragon, and some White Dragons prepared their Dragon Breath cautiously. Accustomed to the long cycle of reincarnation in the Human Realm, the White Dragons hadn’t yet adapted to their new bodies, no longer cursed, and they still instinctively used Dragon Breath as their means of attack.
In the sky, all the Giant Dragons transformed into human forms, which was basically a friendly gesture, for the combat ability in human form was far weaker than in their dragon form.
"Eh? Slite!" The Elder of the White Dragon exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s you! Ashton!" Slite also exclaimed with joy.
"Old friend!"
The two old dragons embraced each other.
Though they were from different dragon species, and even more so from the completely incompatible Black Dragon and White Dragon species, this did not prevent the formation of friendship between them. Especially since the Dragon Clan could transform into human forms, making friendship even more straightforward.
The fleeing dragon swarm brought more detailed information about Dragon Star to these reborn White Dragons, allowing them to truly understand what had happened on Dragon Star. The White Dragons, in turn, told Slite everything that had happened in the Human Realm in detail, including the endless cycles of reincarnation and everything Long Yi had done.
"We must reclaim Dragon Star," Slite said.
"Yes, we must reclaim Dragon Star," Ashton said.
"For Dragon Star, for the Dragon Clan!"

Divine Realm.
The Golems had completely established themselves in the Seventh Circle.
Mars enlarged its body size further by assimilating a metal planet. For Mars, the increase in strength was the increase in size. Combat was unnecessary for it; its only task was to provide ample support while the Golems fought and block enemy attacks at crucial moments. For this, it had to be strong, and even stronger.
Not long ago, the Golems had completed an upgrade, and they could now freely switch between human and golem forms. So far, they had not discovered what abilities the human form possessed, because although they now had self-evolving Divine Status, the human form was still quite fragile, far inferior to the golem form. However, the power of the golem form had been greatly enhanced, and the divine power fluctuation produced by the golem upgrade should have already spread throughout the entire Seventh Circle of the Divine Realm by now. This fluctuation should be enough to alarm some of the most powerful Legions, so the Darkness Saintess had been quite anxious. The last victory was not easy, and according to the investigation results by Little Piggy Hmph Hmph, the combined Legion from last time was not the strongest in the Seventh Circle. Moreover, there was serious infighting at that time, but even so, the victory was not easy for the Golems.
Now Hmph Hmph ran out again to investigate, and the Darkness Saintess always felt unlikely to bring back any good news.
Among various speculations, Little Piggy Hmph Hmph returned.
Mars generated a barrier around itself, hiding its location, accessible only by Hmph Hmph who could find this place accurately. When it returned, the Darkness Saintess immediately sensed its presence.
Unexpectedly, Little Piggy’s pink body was bruised blue and purple, the first time she had seen Hmph Hmph injured.
"You’re injured?" the Darkness Saintess asked.
"It was intentional, I wouldn’t likely earn their trust if I didn’t appear to be a bit down and out," Hmph Hmph said as it wobbled its plump body, and the injuries disappeared in an instant.
"So, any good news or bad news?" the Darkness Saintess asked.
"No good news, but a bunch of bad news," Little Piggy said.
"Tell me the worst news first," the Darkness Saintess said.
"The worst news is, due to your overwhelming strength, three great Legions of the Seventh Circle have assembled a Legion of ten thousand God of Wars to annihilate you in one fell swoop. And, undoubtedly, this army of ten thousand God of Wars is composed of the top-most God of Wars from those three great Legions," Hmph Hmph said.
"An overwhelming force," the Darkness Saintess nodded, something she had already guessed.
"Are you also interested in some other rather bad news?" Little Piggy continued.
"Let’s hear it."
"Besides the three major Legions, those abandoned Legions have formed an unprecedentedly large joint Legion, planning to attack us before the three major ones," Xiao Zhu said.
"Unprecedentedly large?"
"They claim to have over ten million Gods of War. Of course, there might not be that many in reality," Xiao Zhu said.
"Ten million Gods of War, against the three hundred of us, can they even fit through?" The Darkness Priestess laughed.
"But with your current level of Divine Status, taking any one of your Divine Statuses would allow them to leap to become the top-tier God of War in the Seventh Ring. Who wouldn’t want to try their luck?" Heng Heng said.
Originally, the Darkness Priestess thought the upcoming battles would be frequent, but she didn’t expect them to be this frequent. It’d be fair to say that all the powers within the Seventh Ring were mobilized to participate.
However, this was also an opportunity for them. According to Heng Heng, after entering the Sixth Ring, the situation inside the entire Divine Ring would be completely different from the Seventh Ring. Inside the Sixth Ring, there would be a more complete social system, and the relationships between gods would be closer to those between tribes and tribes. Power would begin to show its importance, and to gain power, strength would become even more important than before.
Simply put, hunting for Divine Status in the Sixth Ring would become much more difficult, so one must acquire as many Divine Statuses as possible within this Seventh Ring.
"This time, we’re taking the initiative to strike," the Darkness Priestess said to Heng Heng.
"Target?" Heng Heng asked.
"Several Legions with relatively weak strengths but a large number of Gods of War," the Darkness Priestess said.
"Hmm, I really like this tactic style. Then I strongly recommend starting with this Legion."
Heng Heng recommended to the Darkness Priestess a Legion located in the middle area of the Seventh Ring, of medium strength but not small in scale. Most importantly, the surrounding Legions were hostile to it, so theoretically, if this Legion were to be attacked, the nearby Legions should not come to help.
"What’s this Legion called?" the Darkness Priestess asked Heng Heng.
"They don’t have names at all. The Seventh Ring has only recently emerged from the primitive era, and Legions are only a primary product that came about through the union of powerful Gods of War. They don’t have their own names, only a common Divine Power beacon to distinguish friend from foe. This Legion, in particular, is the most eagerly active, desperately trying to rush to the front," Heng Heng said.
"In that case, since it’s the first Legion we’ve decided to eliminate, I’ll call it Legion One."
After making the rudimentary name, the Darkness Priestess immediately notified all the Golems: "Prepare for first-level combat readiness! We’ve decided to invade Legion One!"
Mars teleported himself near Legion One. Because teleportation on such a scale was difficult to go unnoticed, Mars simply teleported himself to the closest possible location to Legion One that he could reach.
There was a small star system here, where the gods of Legion One resided. Mars’ appearance immediately alarmed all the gods, who quickly assembled.
Leading Legion One were six mighty Gods of War. They were responsible for devising battle plans and negotiating with other Legions. When Mars appeared, the first reaction of these six Gods of War was not shock but excitement.
"It’s Xiao Zhu! He actually did it! He really drew the gods of Darkness here!" one of the Gods of War almost ecstatically said.
"Hahaha, this is fantastic! Once we devour those three hundred Divine Statuses, we will be the strongest gods in the Seventh Ring! Then we can completely unify the entire Seventh Ring and march directly into the Sixth Ring!" another god exclaimed with delight.
"Then, as planned, let’s send the ordinary Gods of War first to wear them down!"
Mars floated quietly in place while the space in front of him was being constantly torn apart, swarming with countless Gods of War. In the blink of an eye, their numbers had reached millions, and they were still increasing! The fluctuations of Divine Power surged tumultuously; although each God of War’s strength was negligible against the Golems, once their numbers reached a certain scale, the impact was still astonishing.
"They’ll definitely send cannon fodder first. Be careful not to get wearied too much," Heng Heng said.
"Wearied?" the Darkness Priestess smiled. "I’m afraid they aren’t capable of that!"
