Chapter 2221 After the Battle of Gods
At the end of the Battle of Gods, the Demigods on both sides of the conflict began to retreat around the headquarters of the Black Plain Army.
The aliens' plan was to try to force the enemy forces back and look for a way to eliminate Abby. But since the alien Gods had failed in their plans, it would be a waste of strength to continue to fight the Demigods.
Thus, the group of 10th-stage aliens soon began to disperse while the Demigods of the local forces attacked with vigor to take out as many of the retreating enemies as possible.
The local Demigods were not as strong as the same-level enemies. However, thanks to the many Demigods that Abby had resurrected, the local forces had the support they needed in the final minutes to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy side.
Of the thousand or so 10th-stage aliens that attacked this base moments ago, 400 fell by the time the alien retreat began.
On the other hand, most of the local natives who died in this conflict were those who were already dead and would naturally disappear after Abby's fusion ended.
Even those living beings who died in today's battle could eventually return to contribute to the Spiritual World by being revived by Abby!
Thus, this battle ended with the Black Plain Empire defeating the aliens!
Unfortunately, this was not the only battle around the empire, and many other forces around the state would suffer quite different results!
...
Vico, Willow, and Aarav remained together above the Black Plain Army headquarters as they watched the situation calm down.
The three of them were exhausted, with worried looks on their faces as they felt that despite their victory in the battle, their situation was not good.
"The next time we're attacked like this, we won't be able to count on those two," Vico said as he thought of the Sky Whale and Henry.
"We have other bodies of Gods of the Spiritual World, but it might be difficult to get them to cooperate like those two." Aarav agreed, aware that the dangers for them could be much greater next time.
Willow looked worriedly in the direction the enemies had gone and said. "Did you notice how the enemies recovered faster than we did?"
The enemy Gods, who had been in the Spiritual World since the first battle of the war, had been exhausted in that first major battle but had still recovered faster than these three.
The aliens in question hadn't reached 100% of their energy in those months in the Spiritual World, but they were about 30% better off than the natives of that world.
Willow had noticed this in the fight a few moments ago and couldn't ignore the problem. "If they can heal better than us, we'll have a problem. Eventually, we'll be weakened and without many allies. At that point, they'll be able to get rid of us, and the war will be resolved in their favor."
The two noticed the problem as they thought about the battle earlier and realized she was right.
"What are we going to do?" Vico asked them, not knowing what they could do to change it and preparing for the worst.
Willow looked at Aarav and said. 'We have to talk to Gloria. We may have to use Minos' medicines.'
Aarav hadn't thought about it at first, but when he heard Willow's voice in his mind, he couldn't help but notice that using the Divine Medicines of Minos as a nutrient for them could help them recover quickly.
It was even possible that they would become even stronger!
'Will she allow this? These medicines are for the future of the Black Plain Empire.' He commented while the three of them remained silent.
'There will be no future if we can't stop the alien threat.' She said, imagining that they had to at least try to use some of these medicines and then try to surprise the aliens.
If they succeeded, maybe they wouldn't need to use all the medicines in Minos' Spatial Kingdom!
...
While the Gods of the Spiritual World were discussing such a delicate matter, the aliens who had escaped from the Black Plain Empire were also talking about it.
"The enemies were weaker than I expected." One of the aliens, someone who had been on this world the longest, commented. "If I'm not mistaken, the natives here don't have the same kind of resources as us, and it's hard for them to recover their energy."
"Oh? Do you think they'll be weaker the next time we attack them?" Asked one of the two gods new to this world who had survived today's battle.
One of the Gods in the group who had been on this world the longest had died on the battlefield, which was a shame and worried the three wounded survivors who were now fleeing to their territory. But if the alien's words were true, then today's battle might give them the chance they needed to defeat the forces of this world.
"Yes, I believe so." Said the alien. "I think we should focus our attention on recovering from this battle for the next few months and let our 10th stage experts take care of our plans for this world.
When we are at our best, the enemies will most likely be weakened. They won't be in their best shape, and they still won't have the help of those two dead men.
That will be the time to eliminate several of them and go after the Empress of the Black Plain Empire!"
"All right, let's do it." Said the strongest of them. "Let's leave our 10th stage men to take care of expanding the empire's territory in this world. Meanwhile, let's make them use the local natives who want to surrender to us. We'll let the natives take care of the basics in our territory until we defeat the enemy leaders."
With this decision, the three of them continued their journey to the core of their territory in the Ancestral Sea, having already sent messages to the other three Gods who were acting around the Spiritual World.
They also ordered an end to today's action throughout the Black Plain Empire, willing to give the local forces some peace while they began to prepare for the next massive attack.
...
Thus, the two forces battling in the Spiritual World began to follow more or less similar plans, with both sides retreating with their key specialists for the time being.
Aarav and Willow would soon talk to Gloria about their plans and get her approval to take 2 Divine Medicines with them for the recovery of the Gods of the Spiritual World.
Meanwhile, Abby would return to her seclusion to increase her level and prepare for the next enemy attack. She had never used resources to speed up her cultivation before, but now it would be part of her strategy to avoid future defeats!
