Chapter 426: Chapter426-When the Players March, Nothing Remains
Thanks to the experience they had gained in the Myriad-Star Cosmos, the players already knew exactly how to conquer an entire starfield.
To them, the only real threats within the Celestial River Universe were its Divine-grade experts.
However, Camille had already eliminated every visible threat for them.
Even if some hidden Divine-grade expert emerged later, they would be erased by the sword light Camille had left behind at the cosmic level.
Therefore, bringing the entire Celestial River Universe under their control was merely a matter of time.
...
Camille watched the players charge toward the Celestial River forces, the corner of his mouth curving upward.
To be safe, he decided to make one more preparation.
He raised his hand and waved.
The next moment, an extremely powerful sword aura descended.
A terrifying sword presence now permeated the entire universe.
Should any hidden Divine-grade expert reveal themselves, the sword aura would immediately lock onto them and kill them instantly!
After all, this sword aura was one of the earliest techniques Camille had comprehended and contained nearly half the strength of his true body.
With Camille’s mastery of the sword path, even half his power was enough to instantly kill any Divine-grade expert.
Only after completing this arrangement did Camille feel reassured.
Buzz!
He directly tore open a spatial rift and departed for another universe to eliminate its Divine-grade experts.
This time, Faustus had deployed tens of millions of players at once, launching simultaneous expeditions into dozens of universes and planes.
The Divine-grade experts within those regions all had to be cleared out personally by Camille.
It sounded like an enormous workload, but in reality, not every Divine-grade expert would resist to the bitter end like those of the Celestial River Universe.
Most Divine-grade experts feared death.
Once they witnessed Camille’s overwhelming Strength, they would choose to surrender.
In the face of absolute power, no fool would reject the chance to submit and survive.
...
Celestial River Universe.
After Camille left, Hansen immediately put the prepared conquest plan into action.
"Split into three armies!"
"Kill!"
The vast player army immediately poured into the Celestial River Universe!
...
Deep within the Celestial River Universe.
The Danube Kingdom.
As the central empire of the Celestial River Universe, the Danube Kingdom was ruled by King Asura.
At this moment, however, Asura was not seated upon his throne.
He had personally led his army onto the battlefield and was fighting desperately against the player forces that had appeared without warning.
"Die!"
Asura abruptly raised his hand.
The next moment, an imperial seal appeared in his palm!
He tossed it into the air, and the seal rapidly expanded.
Within only a few breaths, it had grown to span tens of thousands of miles.
Terrifying pressure poured downward, threatening to crush every foreign enemy below.
But at that moment—
A deathly pale sword light emerged from beyond the battlefield.
It was faster than the imperial seal!
And stronger!
The sword light instantly pierced through the seal and shattered it into pieces.
Without losing any momentum, it continued forward and penetrated Asura’s chest.
Terrifying sword aura tore apart all vitality within his body.
His figure instantly disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist.
Everyone from the Danube Kingdom who witnessed the scene was horrified.
It felt as though the heavens had collapsed above them.
"The King..."
"The King is dead!"
"It’s over!"
Panic immediately swept through the Danube Kingdom’s army.
Nearly every soldier lost their composure, no longer knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Hansen’s eyes lit up.
"The opportunity is here!"
He immediately gave the order.
"Charge straight into their formation! Break them apart!"
Countless players surged forward.
In an instant, they smashed through the Danube Kingdom’s military formation.
The Danube Kingdom could no longer offer any effective resistance.
Its forces were scattered in every direction, and signs of total collapse appeared across the battlefield.
Facing an endless army of players who did not even fear death, they were forced to retreat again and again.
No matter how many soldiers the Danube Kingdom possessed, they could never defeat the players.
After all, the players carried revival points with them wherever they went!
"We’ve completely lost!"
The generals of the Danube Kingdom fell into despair.
They discarded their armor and weapons and swiftly fled the battlefield.
Once the generals ran, the soldiers lost whatever desire to fight they had left.
Their morale had already been unstable. Now, they had lost all courage to continue resisting.
The fact that they had lasted this long was already a miracle.
Whether in strength, morale, or equipment, the players completely surpassed the armies of the Danube Kingdom.
At this point, there was no possibility of victory.
Their only option was to flee for their lives.
"Kill!"
"Hahaha! Don’t run!"
Seeing the Danube Kingdom’s army collapse completely, the players became incredibly excited.
They transformed the battlefield into a hunting ground and began slaughtering the enemy forces without restraint.
Those soldiers became experience, equipment, and various items for the players!
The battle ended soon afterward.
Hansen led the players back in triumph.
They had taken complete control of the central region of the Celestial River Universe.
However, he had no intention of stopping.
He immediately redirected the army toward the western territories and continued the conquest.
The player forces fought and plundered along the way, while an endless stream of resources was handed over to Daniel.
...
Sun Erosion Plane.
A fierce battle was still underway.
The player army and the native coalition had confronted each other for a long time, with neither side able to gain a decisive advantage.
"Kill!"
Severn suddenly roared.
The player army below immediately changed formation.
They brought out a domain-grade treasure, summoning the magnificent figure of a Divine-grade expert.
The Divine-grade figure immediately struck out with a palm.
The next moment, a Divine-grade figure also appeared within the forces of the Sun Erosion Plane.
"Heh. Do you truly believe the Sun Erosion Plane has no one capable of stopping you?"
The Divine-grade expert was just about to attack when he discovered in horror that he could no longer move.
Only then did he realize how vast the gap between himself and the opposing figure truly was.
He did not even have the opportunity to resist before he was instantly killed!
With no Divine-grade expert left to block it, the enormous palm continued toward the coalition army.
The Sun Erosion forces had originally been brimming with confidence, believing their own Divine-grade expert to be invincible.
But then they watched that very expert get killed in an instant!
Their morale descended into chaos.
The senior commanders were the first to realize that disaster was imminent.
They immediately left clones behind and decisively fled.
Once the high-ranking commanders escaped, it triggered a chain reaction.
Many of the Sun Erosion Plane’s leaders quickly discovered what had happened.
They were both shocked and furious.
They had never expected an army they had nurtured for so long to be so utterly unreliable.
But after the anger came fear.
Watching the players’ relentless offensive, they immediately made their decision.
"We cannot defeat them!"
"At this point, our only choices are surrender or escape!"
After hurriedly leaving behind orders to withdraw, they either surrendered or fled.
The clones left behind by the senior commanders soon collapsed and were discovered by the soldiers of the Sun Erosion coalition.
The moment the soldiers realized the truth, their morale shattered completely.
They lost all will to resist.
Within only a few minutes, the entire Sun Erosion coalition learned that their commanding officers had abandoned them.
Their defensive lines collapsed entirely, leaving them helpless before the slaughter of the player army.
However, Severn had already predicted this outcome perfectly.
After all, the players were not merely fearless and equipped with superior gear.
They also possessed Faustus’s support.
The Divine-grade figure summoned just now had been a clone left behind by Faustus!
The instant it attacked, it had crushed everyone on the battlefield.
"Heh."
"Those who oppose us have only one path—death!"
Severn sneered.
