Chapter 1606: Chapter 1216: Engulfing and Nibbling_2
During the preparation for war, Mars produced billions of these armor plates, whose sole purpose was to bind a god for a certain amount of time and drag them nearby.
And now, these armor plates had found their use.
Without their commander, the entire Legion was in disarray, while the Golems unleashed their long-repressed power. Space was continuously being torn apart, Gods of War were constantly slain, Divine Status was seized, and Divine Power was absorbed.
Everything was going as planned.
Not a single god managed to escape.
The battle ended; the entire First Legion vanished from the Seventh Ring, and Mars left the scene with the Golems, unflustered.
Almost at the same time, the news of the disappearance of the First Legion spread throughout the entire Seventh Ring. After all, when such a large Legion lost all its Gods of War, it was bound to shock the others. The Gods of War of the First Legion had vanished, but the gods responsible for other tasks had not. These gods quickly spread the word that it was the sudden attack by the three hundred Gods of Darkness that hit the First Legion. And as everyone in the Plane knew, the three hundred Gods of Darkness had annihilated all the Gods of War of the First Legion. As for whether the three hundred Gods of Darkness had suffered any damage, no one knew.
This news terrified many Legions, especially those who had initially tried to unite and attack the Gods of Darkness, immediately became fear-stricken. The biggest concern was that the First Legion, which had been attacked, was not a weak one. It was said that there were over one and a half million Gods of War facing the three hundred Gods of Darkness at the time. Yet not a single God of War escaped. It was vaguely remembered that when these three hundred Gods of Darkness first arrived at the Seventh Ring, there had been a great war which they didn’t win easily. How had they grown so powerful in such a short time?
As each Legion was living in fear, another Legion had all its Gods of War disappear! The story was the same as before, with the three hundred Gods of Darkness and their golden planet appearing together, confronting the Gods of War, and news of the outcome spread throughout the Seventh Ring in no time!
After this happened a third time, all the mid-sized and small Legions in the Seventh Ring were scared out of their wits. Especially some of the mid-sized Legions with not so weak forces, they felt like they were always on the elimination list of the Gods of Darkness. However, Mars was elusive and unpredictable, with no clue where it might appear next. But one could foresee that wherever it appeared, the Legion there was in for bad luck.
At this time, Mars suddenly made an appearance.
It appeared near the passage from the Seventh Ring to the Sixth Ring.
Unlike below, there was only one passage from the Seventh Ring to the Sixth Ring, usually guarded in turns by the Gods of War from the three major Legions. Despite the stringent conditions for entering the Sixth Ring, some gods were lucky enough to meet the requirements. To pass through here, they had to break through the siege of a group of Gods of War.
All of the Group Leaders of the three major Legions had entered the Sixth Ring this way.
But now, the passage belonged to the Gods of Darkness.
It was time to address the issue.
So, for the first time in a trillion years, the Seventh Ring united, all Legions hoping to resolve the current crisis.
Soon after, the three major Legions delivered a message.
There was only one way to resolve this issue.
Each Legion had to dispatch their most elite Gods of War, including the Group Leader, and gather the entire Legion’s Divine Status. Only by doing so, they could defeat the Gods of Darkness.
The plan seemed quite unreliable at first listen, after all, it meant sacrificing the entire Legion. But the message from the three major Group Leaders was clear: with only three hundred of them, the Gods of Darkness had defeated so many Legions, their Divine Status had reached an absurdly high level. Most importantly, every time a God of War was slain by them, they were able to recover some Divine Power during the battle and seemed to be able to enhance their Divine Status. This meant that ordinary attrition tactics were useless against the Gods of Darkness. To overcome them, one would have to use a force far stronger than their strongest power to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Accept this term, or wait to be annihilated by the Gods of Darkness, the choice is yours.
Faced with this condition, some Legions backed down because if some small Legions concentrated their Divine Status in a few Gods of War and defeated the Gods of Darkness, they might be devoured at any time by stronger Gods of War from larger Legions. And if they were defeated, the whole Legion would be gone. It felt like there was no good option either way.
However, as one Legion after another was annihilated and engulfed, the mid to small Legions were forced to agree to this proposal.
The number of elites supplied by each Legion was divided according to the strength of the Legion; stronger Legions could offer more elites, while the smaller Legions provided fewer.
For a time, the number of Legions that originally ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions was reduced to just a few hundred. Most Gods of War contributed their Divine Status and Divine Power, concentrating it on the elites.
```
Thus, under the leadership of the three major Legions, a team of three hundred Gods of War was formed, practically gathering most of the Divine Status from the Seventh Plane. Their goal was to annihilate the gods of Darkness in one fell swoop.
However, these Gods of War harbored other thoughts in their hearts.
Leave this place, and enter the Sixth Plane!
Yes, with their current strength, they were already capable of entering the Sixth Plane! Once they defeated the gods of Darkness, they could immediately enter the Sixth Plane. By that time, no matter what happened, it would be of no concern to them, and they might even seize the opportunity to rush into the passage!
Thus, the Gods of War, each with their own ulterior motives, gathered before the passage, ready for a battle that gambled the fate of the entire Seventh Plane.
But Mars was nowhere to be seen here.
There was only the Saintess of Darkness, a lone god.
"You’ve finally arrived, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," said the Saintess of Darkness, whose Divine Power was just sensed, her words reaching the ears of the three hundred elite Gods of War simultaneously.
The three hundred Gods of War approached; there was no Mars, no additional Golems, and among the three hundred gods of Darkness, there was only the Saintess of Darkness.
"Where are your subordinates?" asked a God of War.
"Firstly, they are my sisters, not subordinates. Secondly, to deal with you, I alone am enough," replied the Saintess of Darkness.
Although they did not know what had happened, the three hundred Gods of War were quite welcoming of such evidently arrogant behavior. Before coming here, even their hearts were filled with trepidation. Despite having assembled the Divine Status of almost all the warriors from the various Legions, if possible, they truly did not wish to battle the gods of Darkness. If they could directly enter the Sixth Plane, that would be even better. But it seemed as though it had all been calculated in advanced; the gods of Darkness were occupying the passage to the Sixth Plane.
However, now there was merely one person, and that changed everything.
"Come on, Gods of War, it’s just her. Defeat her, and let us march into the Sixth Plane!" shouted one God of War first. Although this sentiment was shared by everyone present, no one dared to utter it so blatantly. But that no longer mattered because facing such a lone enemy meant an assured quick kill!
Swoosh!
A single slash, and a body was cut in two.
Boom! Divine Power from the Light Cannon hit the upper half of the body, shattering it to pieces, with Divine Status and Divine Power spewing out, instantly absorbed completely.
The remaining two hundred ninety-nine Gods of War were flabbergasted.
Because the slain God of War who had his Divine Status absorbed was none other than the Group Leader of the Seventh Plane’s largest Legion! And he was the strongest here!
The Saintess of Darkness’s speed was too fast, none of the gods even noticed how the Saintess of Darkness had moved!
"I’m sorry, sirs, although your thinking is good, it’s still not a problem for us. Because the me now, is not just me," she said.
Boom!
An unprecedented, terrifying wave of Divine Status emanated from the Saintess of Darkness! It was the energy wave of all the Divine Status from the three hundred gods of Darkness! It was the wave produced by the absorption of countless Divine Status from numerous Legions of the Seventh Plane!
"Damn it! She’s fused all Divine Status into one!"
The Divine Power Light Cannon and the blades did not intend to give these Gods of War time to discuss, as one after another, the Gods of War were slain, their Divine Status absorbed one by one. With every slain God of War, it meant the absorption of an entire Legion’s Divine Status!
Some Gods of War attempted to flee, but the space around them had already been stabilized by the Saintess of Darkness, leaving them no way to escape!
