Universal Lord: Creating My Valkyries Army

Chapter 159: Ch.159 Lord of Titans

After a while, the meeting ended as Yaman ordered an angel to send the people toward the resting area. He had a satisfied smile on his face as he looked at the figure of Sard disappering among the crowd.

Today he had completed all his goals; now that Sard had become a believer of the Holy One, he could move forward with some plans.

The Night Holy Empire, being one of the strongest forces among the humans, is anything but easy to take down in a direct fight at the current point.

Thus, having such a neighbour meant that his expansion in that direction would slow down by a large amount, normall it wouldn’t have been the problem.

But on his other side is the home base of the Mysterious Lord, someone he doesn’t dare face at this moment.

Just as he was worried about what to do, the attack of the fallen gave him a way out, although it was also bad news for him; it at least caused ripples to appear in the once calm situation.

His plan with Sard was simple; he wanted him to spread the great name of the Holy One inside the Night Holy Empire, if possible, even make it a respected religion.

In this way, he won’t need to go to war with the empire and can just win by starting a rebellion; after all, even a False God will become a devout believer of the Holy One if they are exposed for long enough.

.....

Near the territory of the Lord of Shadows, a massive war had started; the land had already been corroded to black, with an aura of decay permeating the land.

The nearby forest had become dry husks, as lakes and rivers had turned into poisoned waters. Only the five secondary and the one main capital city of the Lord of Shadows had lasted till this point.

All his roads connecting the six cities had already been destroyed, thus making it so that his logistics were as good as crippled.

The only things that roamed the earth were rotting flesh abomations, living earth, and the various cursed tree spirits formed from all the war and destruction.

Each of these beings carried a heavy scent of decay and jealousy; the flesh abomations were jealous of those who were still living, the living earth were jealous of the still fertile earth, and cursed tree spirits were jealous of the still thriving forests.

Thus they all attacked the six cities with full force; their commander didn’t even need to give them an order; they would move due to sheer jealousy.

The lord of shadow also was’t as easy opponent; the six cities were built forming a star formation; it wasn’t just for show.

He had laid out a formation that covered all cities; after all, except his capital, the other five cities didn’t enjoy the newbie protection period.

Thus, the formation worked day and night, absorbing the solar and stellar energy to power itself and weaken all those who were considered enemies.

Inside the massive capital city, a heavy atmosphere surrounded the lord’s castle; inside the lord’s castle, in his workroom, the Lord of Shadows looked at the war map while letting out a heavy sigh.

His eyes were covered with heavy dark circles; his pupils were red, just showing how tired he was. Even his baby face seemed to have matured; just looking at his wrinkled and dirty clothes, one could tell that he didn’t even have the time to wash himself.

"Has the Lord of Titan replied?"

He asked as he looked at his subordinate; this war, although short, had almost drained them of all their resource.

At first, they had the upper hand, but as the days continued to pass, the number of enemies never decreased but continued to increase.

If not for his lord’s talent, granting him a massive amount of troops and heroes, he would have lost days ago.

As intelligent as he was, he also saw that if this continued, he had no chance of surviving. Since there were no lords on the human side nearby who could help him, he called for an alliance with the lord of the titan.

After all, the corrupted aren’t only targeting him; if he falls, then the next target will be the empire of the lord of the titans.

This deal could be said to be quite beneficial for the lord of Titan; after all, he had even proposed to act as a wall as long as he continued to supply him with manpower and resources.

Even with such a deal, the Lord of Titan still hadn’t given a solid reply, always saying vague things like Continue to hold on, or I will think about it.

"HAAA, THAT TREE# FU### MO###"

Curses like songs rang out in the building as the shadow wraths in the building didn’t dare speak. After a while, Soma calmed down as he took out a bottle of wine and chugged it down in one breath.

"It seems that bastard won’t join with me because I am a sub-human."

"It seems he isn’t as smart as I gave him credit for."

He muttered as he looked at the war report; if the situation continued, he would be forced to retreat back into his capital city.

The only good news was that his heroes have started to reach Earthen King rank one by one; thus, after all of them finish their enhancement, he can start to push the abominations back.

"At this point, I don’t even know if I will survive this ordeal."

He weakly muttered as he rested his body on the chair that was massive for him; his entire body sank as he closed his eyes to take a small rest.

On the other side...

Inside the territory of the Lord of Titan, Argor was standing outside a massive locked room with a troubled expression.

The threat of the corrupted had increased far too quickly; in fact, even with all the information he had collected, he wasn’t able to take care of the situation.

Thus, he had no choice but to ask Gaia to ascend into an Earthen King early; although he would have liked to move at a controlled pace, there was no helping the situation.

He had already read the alliance request from the Lord of Shadows; it was already the fifth time that lord had sent this request.

At first, he had no intention of joining this alliance, not only because of his pride but also because the Lord of Shadows was a Sub-Human and the human race was something he hated to the core.

But as the situation with the corrupted continued to deteriorate and as the news of the fallen started to spread amoung high ranking lord he knew that he had to put his hate aside for now.

After all, even with the lord of the shadows holding back a bulk of the corrupted forces, they have already reached his territory.

Many lords’ territories between them have already been destroyed, and their lords were forced to flee back into their capital to enjoy the newbie protection period to survive.

He had already heard the news from the east, west, and south, especially about the victory of that Witch against the abominations. He also knew that the victory didn’t deal with the greatest threat.

Just as he was worrying about his future plans, a terrifying aura exploded from inside the sealed chambers. His root-like legs burrowed into the ground as he tried his hardest not to fall back.

He knew that Gaia had completed her ascension and was about to become an Earthen King, still feeling her terrifying presence that dwarfed other Earthen Kings he had seen; he wondered who could even defeat her on the same level.

Inside the chambers, Gaia opened her eyes as he quickly controlled her newfound powers. As a being of the earth who likes to move with harmony, she wanted to slowly ascend.

But due to the threat of the corrupted and the fallen, she ascended; this could be considered quite bad in the long term, as it will now take her longer to reach heavenly King rank.

"No Matter, I will deal with things as they come."

She softly muttered as she sensed the situation of the territory with her connection with the earth, seeing the battle happening at the edge of the territory and the various fights between earthen kings.

She knew that she should also quickly join the battle; after all, due to the ever-changing situation, they can’t hold back any longer.

As she thought so, she opened her status panel; after her ascension to the Earthen King realm, her strength had seen a massive boost.
