Chapter 610 Chapter 608: Decisive Battle (I)
The highest dimension, the Pantheon.
When Amon's incarnation fell, the indigenous gods of Heranka continued to move up in dimension, almost without the need for summoning, until they gathered in the Pantheon.
In the independently developed hall, the wills of eighteen gods intertwine and collide with each other.
Complex information was being exchanged at nearly the speed of light, and the overwhelming divine power caused time and space to stagnate.
Among them, the one who clamored the loudest was, of course, the orc god Amon.
His roar almost exploded in the ears of all the gods: "They plotted against me, didn't you all see it?
They can't defeat me in a head-on fight, yet they dare to plot against me?"
"I will tear them all into pieces, extract their souls, and throw them into the icy hell.
I want to make them experience endless pain, but they cannot die!
This is where they should be!"
Some indigenous gods behave very restrainedly and act only as listeners.
However, some gods did not get along with Amon, and the elven god Drizzt mocked him: "Three hundred years ago, you were clamoring for their death, but what happened?
Aren’t those archmages still fine?!"
"But you, the great orc god Amon, how could you die so easily?
It takes hundreds of years to create a divine avatar, and I feel so bad for you to lose it like this."
Quetzalcoatl also spoke: "Amon, I know you are angry, but don't let anger cloud your mind.
We must learn to think and deal with problems calmly."
“You sound nice, but it was me who lost a clone, not you!
I really hope that you can still be so calm when your clone falls."
"Amon, has God told you that you really don't know what's good for you? Didn't you hear me speaking for you?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear that!"
Ptolemy, the Storm God and Lord of Mermaids, said something fair at this time: "Although Amon suffered heavy losses, we must admit that he attacked with determination.
If He had not broken the ionosphere, relieved the pressure on the ground battlefield, and released the souls of the petitioners, we would have suffered great losses."
The God of Spring spoke: “Let’s not talk about the losses, at least we can still bear it, but if all the sacred bonfires are extinguished, it will be like losing our place to stay.
All the results achieved since the war have become a bubble.
From this perspective, we should be grateful to Amun, because he saved everything and saved us.”
The Elf God Drizzt was unyielding: "That is true, but I still hold my own opinion.
Losing a divine avatar like this has severely damaged our strength, and the price we paid is too high."
In front of outsiders, the gods are high and mighty, majestic and unfathomable. Even when they issue oracles, they are often vague, leaving believers to guess.
This is the only way to effectively distance the deity from its believers and maintain the impression of being unfathomable.
Of course, that’s only for external use!
When it comes to the gods, their origins, dirty deeds, and embarrassing moments are all known clearly.
Coupled with the long-standing religious disputes and various contradictions, the relationship between them has never been harmonious.
When they meet, personal attacks are the least of their worries, and cursing like a shrew is the norm.
However, the great Sun God did not want to listen to these meaningless nonsense. The terrifying will of God descended and suppressed all disobedience with a crushing attitude.
Then he said, "Although we lost one of our clones, which reduced our combat power, Amon has done a great job in commanding the battlefield.
He saved the battlefield and rescued countless petitioners. His deeds are worthy of praise."
In a word, the final decision was made, and almost all the other gods nodded slightly to show their approval.
Then the Sun God said, "Now, there is only one topic we need to discuss, and that is how to deal with it."
The Orc God Amon spoke quickly, "My suggestion is that all the gods attack with all their might, pressing directly forward, and winning this divine war with the most decisive attitude!"
His words shocked all the gods.
The elven god Drizzt opened his mouth to taunt, but Amon said, "Everyone, everyone, listen to me!
There's no point in continuing this war between gods; it will only lead to increased losses."
"Although we have more petitioners and more adequate logistics, no one knows what cards the Netheril civilization has in store, and how terrifying its depths are."
"Instead of being terrified, it is better to take the initiative. As long as we come directly and completely destroy the floating city in the star realm,
No, we don't need to destroy it completely. As long as we destroy part of it and make the floating city fall, we will win."
"Without the support of the floating city, even those great arcanists can't escape our pursuit."
“Besides, there are definitely dangers! However, we are all clones of God going there, and our real bodies are all in the Kingdom of God.
Even if this battle is unfavorable, even if the Silver Summit still has a killer move, as long as our true bodies remain motionless, we will be invincible."
"For the sake of victory, we must take this little risk!"
It has to be said that the gods suddenly realized that what Amon, the god of orcs, said made sense.
Regarding the solution of "If you lose, you lose a clone; if you win, the problem is completely solved",
Even the Elf God couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that Amon, this stubborn guy, could say something so sensible."
At this moment, the collision of the gods' wills reached a peak, and the gods were secretly exchanging opinions.
There are those who agree, and there are certainly those who disagree. Even God has his own opinions.
However, at this time, the Sun God spoke: "Amon said it well, it is better to give it a try than to suffer for a long time.
However, to protect everyone's interests, we can conclude the Styx Oath here."
"Regardless of the outcome of this battle, regardless of your losses, you must not attack other gods, interfere with other churches by any means, or plot against them for the next hundred years.
Those who violate this will be punished and chastised by the gods!!!"
"This hundred years is everyone's recovery period. Even if there are conflicts, we can only resolve them after a hundred years."
"This is to protect the interests of the gods. What do you think?"
At this moment, the gods understood that everything was the plan of the Sun God, but it was just spoken by Amon, the God of Orcs.
In this case, what else is there to say? Naturally, everyone agrees.
Then, the Sun God said, "Then everyone, mobilize your clones and the legion of petitioners and prepare to descend!"
"We must catch the Arcane Council off guard when they are at their most triumphant; we must resolve Helka's crisis once and for all.
We are the gods of this world forever, protecting it and controlling it."
"We, the gods of Helka, will ultimately win the final victory."
"Everyone, get ready!"
"Next, it's the decisive battle!"
…
At this moment, there was cheering in the Mysterious Hall.
In the center of the twelve-pointed star formation, the light and shadow cast by it showed the scene of the Orc God's clone falling down.
Even a group of great arcanists who had lived for who knows how many years were jumping and dancing at this moment, waving their staffs, and were as excited as children.
There was even a great arcanist who boasted, "They are just indigenous gods. They have never seen the vastness of the multiverse, nor have they encountered the profoundness of truth. Even if they are gods, they are just frogs in a well.
Kill them like slaughtering pigs and dogs!"
A great arcanist retorted: "No, no, no, you are not right! Pigs and dogs will still fight for their lives. I think they are insects at most.
Reach out and crush him to death!"
"Yes, yes, you are all right, but the most important thing is to record this scene completely, right?
When we return to Netheril to report on our work, we can invite people to view these photos. This will definitely be a good way to increase our visibility."
“Maybe our ranking will move up even further, and the newly built floating city should have our name on it.
What do you think about naming it after me?"
"Get out of here! The new floating city clearly belongs to me."
The noisy atmosphere shows their relaxed state of mind.
Of course, there are also those who are brave enough to take on responsibilities.
The fat white-bearded archmage kept giving orders, directing the siege of the battlefield, and stirring up strong winds and dark clouds, trying to rebuild the ionosphere.
However, their happiness did not last long.
Then, eighteen stars fell from the endless sky.
From far to near, the light of God became brighter and brighter, even dispelling the chaos and darkness, as if it was about to fill the sky.
At this moment, a huge crisis struck. The great archmages who had been cheerful just now all stopped their actions and looked up with stiff expressions.
Then, they watched helplessly as a divine light fell not long ago.
And this time, there are eighteen.
They smashed through the dark clouds in the sky, and once again set off shock waves that spread in all directions, forming holes.
The thick dark clouds that originally looked terrifying were smashed into holes. The waves formed by the rolling clouds offset each other, and the thunder in the sky was completely annihilated.
At this moment, the floating land of the Silvertop could not stop sinking, as if it was about to fall into the plane.
The complex floating ring that looked like a giant compound eye was operating at full capacity, and with the abundant supply of magic energy, it spewed out a huge repulsive force.
The interaction of forces stabilized the continent, but huge holes appeared where the divine light landed.
And the spider-web-like cracks on the ground.
It was also here that the vast divine power spread, revealing the incarnations of the Helka gods.
The incarnation of the Sun God is a heroic human hero, as majestic as a mountain and as dazzling as the sun.
He was wearing gilded armor and holding the Sun God Sword. He stood there, emitting endless brilliance.
The incarnation of the elven god Drizzt is a male elf with emerald hair, a slender and charming figure, and exuding tremendous vitality.
He was suspended in the air with an arrogant look on his face, holding a starry longbow with twinkling stars in his hand.
This divine bow is also famous in the history of Helka. It provides sufficient divine power and can produce a covering killing effect similar to the blast of thousands of cannons.
The incarnation of the Orc God is still a Behemoth, but this time it is covered with white fur, has a more massive body, and exudes a tyrannical aura.
Some of them even have their fangs protruding outwards, looking angry and ferocious.
This is Amon's angry clone.
In Helka's history, He is synonymous with cruelty. Every time He appears, He causes a lot of killing.
There is also the incarnation of Quetzalcoatl, which is a long snake with three pairs of wings.
He has a huge body that is thousands of meters long, and each scale is as big as a human head. As he swims, he cuts the earth like a blade.
Wherever it passed, whether it was the Iron Golem or the Arcane Tower, they were all smashed to pieces.
Ptolemy, the god of storms, whose incarnation is a male mermaid standing above the storm.
He was wearing dark gold armor and holding a trident. Every time he swung his trident, it created a tornado that stretched from sky to earth, destroying everything wherever it passed.
There is also Epimetheus, the god of the sea, who appears in the form of an eight-armed Naga.
He holds eight weapons in his hands and steps on the rolling waves. With every move of his hands and feet, the waves surge up into the sky.
In addition, there is Tarot, the goddess of spring, who is in charge of the revival and budding of all things;
Oxo, the goddess of summer, governs midsummer and growth;
Kalpo, the goddess of autumn, controls the autumn winds and fruits;
Musica, Lady of Winter, governs extreme cold, withering, and snow;
Dixis, the god of strife, controls conspiracy and assassination;
Charon, the god of death, controls the River Styx, which is connected to the underworld, and guides the dead to the underworld;
Thanatos, the god of shadows, is in charge of places where light cannot reach and shadows walking in darkness.
Although the priesthood was opposed, this one was a staunch supporter of the Sun God;
There is also Bacchus, the god of law, who is in charge of the laws and order of the Helka civilization to this day.
Vulcan, the god of magic, controls the development of magic in the world of Helka and is the faith of the wizards.
Pronoe, the god of wisdom, controls the wisdom of all living beings and gives them the ability to think and learn.
Diana, the goddess of desire, controls the desires of living beings, darkness and devouring. She often appears in an evil posture and is feared by other gods.
What this one loves most is to tempt devout believers to fall.
The last, Pluto, the god of forging and hunting, is also the object of worship and faith of countless assassins, thieves, wanderers and craftsmen.
There are certainly more than eighteen gods in Helka's history, but these are the only ones still active today.
It also proves their strength from the side!
When they descended upon the floating city in various unique avatars of gods, the sheer might of their gods and the pervasive murderous intent caused the continent to tremble violently.
The last bit of aftermath of the destructive war magic [Thunderstorm] was dispersed just like that.
Of course, they didn’t come alone!
With them as the center, where the divine light spreads out, there is the largest sacred bonfire.
Then, rays of light descended from the sky, revealing powerful angels, holy spirits, and petitioners.
They are densely packed, increasing in number, as if endless, filling the sky.
At this moment, the mysterious hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Only the violent heartbeats, which seemed to be about to burst out of their chests, showed their extreme nervousness.
Of course, this silence could not last long. After just a few breaths, a great arcanist jumped up with a scream.
"How dare they?"
"Are they crazy? We just killed a god's clone. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"
"What are they planning to do?"
At this moment, a desolate voice rang out: "Needless to say, the indigenous gods of Helka are risking everything and are ready to fight us!"
Then, in the center of the twelve-pointed star, a magic cloak was seen spreading, revealing a human figure.
He is tall, with slightly curly hair, sunken cheeks and a hooked nose, giving people an extremely gloomy impression.
He didn't seem to be very old, probably forty at most, but his eyes showed the calmness that could keep calm even when the sky was falling, as well as the desolation and wisdom that came from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Upon seeing him, the twelve great arcanists bowed their heads almost at the same time and offered the most noble magical etiquette.
"Meet the great Lord of Mysteries, Practitioner of Truth, Lord of the Astral Floating City Silver Dome, His Majesty Michael."
Michael, the owner of the floating city, waved his hand and looked up at the sky.
His gaze seemed to be able to see through the dome and see the incarnations of God. Although his expression was calm, he couldn't help but clench his hands.
"Your Majesty Michael, what should we do now? If, if we fail to respond in time, we're in danger of collapse!"
"They've all taken to the table and begun the final battle. You and I can only follow.
Fortunately, the conditions for executing the ultimate plan are barely met, and we still have a chance to turn the tables."
This sentence instantly caused a commotion among the great arcanists. The fat white-bearded great arcanist quickly responded, "Is it really possible?"
"No, but it has to be possible, because this is our last chance."
Michael finally lowered his head. He looked around and said, "But before that, you must buy me enough time. Can you do that?"
The archmages looked at each other, then expressed their firm stance.
"It has come to this, we have to do it."
"We will use our lives to buy time, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"We will definitely work hard."
"good!"
Michael forcefully interrupted the noisy chorus and immediately ordered, "Chief, you, the Second and Third Officers, will be responsible for commanding and dispatching the war. All warehouses are open to you, and you may freely use the war resources."
"yes!"
"Seats Four, Five, and Six, you are the best at magic. I will grant you the highest authority in the Arcane Tower.
Aside from the magic energy needed for the final plan, you can use the rest as you please. Don't be stingy with the destructive magic, just throw it at me."
"Yes, sir!"
"Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Seats, I will grant you most of the authority over the floating city. You will command all summoning arcanists and draw all precious items and sacrificial materials.
Your mission is to summon those great beings. Every additional one is a gain."
"Yes, sir!"
"There are still ten seats, eleven seats, and twelve seats. Go find the Pope of the Seven Gods and ask them to summon the Seven Gods to descend.
If you want to gain something, you have to pay something. It's time for those seven to contribute."
"yes!"
After making some arrangements, Michael stroked his beard and said seriously, "Success or failure depends on this one move. Everyone, please!"
"I will do my best."
"Then let's fight!"
At the same time, the voice of the Sun God resounded throughout the entire floating continent and rang in the ears of every warrior.
"When darkness falls, the sun will come and drive out the evil!"
"When foreign enemies invade, heroes will stand up and defend our homeland!"
"As time passes, our names will be passed down through the generations to come!"
"In this battle, I will be invincible, there will be death and no life!"
“Kill, kill, kill!!!”
