The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 643 Marching back to the battlefield (II)

For one, the Mutated Ocean Beast Hordes had significantly reduced in size and power after several years of fighting, and while the Dark Kings were indeed sowing chaos in the south, they did not dare to show their faces and acted from the shadows, so there was only so much damage the Sectors were taking.

None of those scenarios could compare with the all-out war the Collapsing Lightning Alliance faced in the continentʼs north. It was clear to all present that someone in the empireʼs capital was downplaying their situation, diminishing their ability to resist the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army and aiding The Void King.

”Ahh, keep trying. We cannot continue like this, as the number of Inferno Daemon Invasion Army is resupplied with new blood every month.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke sighed as his numbers weakened with each battle, yet the invader army kept getting reinforcements. While he was certain that there was a plot against him in the capital, he did not have any evidence, and the answer they gave to deny more troops was infuriating but valid enough.

It would take but three hours for the Collapsing Lightning Duke to reach the Silver City if he were willing to burn his energy and endure a severe backlash, but that might not be enough to get answers. If he were to vanish from the north of the continent, the Void King and the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army would immediately attack with all their power.

And the same would happen with the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and Angar Aegon left.

As for sending someone else, that would be even more useless as the Imperial Court would refuse to receive them with the excuse that they were too busy handling the problems of the empire and that person would lack the strength to demand an audience.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke showed a complicated expression as he was trying to decide the best path forward. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he was not alone since all present showed the same reaction.

The reason for their reaction was the news that the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army was advancing towards the Golden Mountain Range and seemed intent on establishing a God Tower in that location.

It had been less than one week since the last clash between both armies, and they were still not completely healed, so the movement of the enemy army took the Collapsing Lightning Alliance by surprise.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke felt something was wrong, and he was not alone since the rest of the people in the room also felt the same, yet there was nothing they could do but march. Defending the Golden Core City would be nearly impossible if they allowed the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army to establish a God Tower in the Golden Mountain Range.

Losing the Golden Core City would almost be the same as losing the entire Sector.

”All soldiers, prepare. We are marching to the Golden Mountains.”

The voice of the Collapsing Lightning Duke echoed across the A.I. Chip of every soldier in the city. Although many of them were still tired and in the process of healing their wounds, war waited for no one, and they honed their armor and marched onto the battlefield.

...

The Collapsing Lightning Alliance and its millions of soldiers could see the Golden Mountain Range less than half an hour later, and their eyes glowed with killing intent as they focused on the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army in defensive formations at the foot of the mountain.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke did not focus on the Inferno Daemon warriors. Instead, his eyes went to the ones on the peak of the Golden Mountains. He saw five Inferno Daemon Divine Ascension Masters building a massive tower, while in the highest sky stood the Void King, Blood King, and Shadow King.

Although using five Divine Ascension Masters to build a God Tower would diminish the overall battle power of the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army, only cultivators of that level could build such a structure on a battlefield of this level as they would have to protect it from collateral damage.

Besides, unlike the Collapsing Lightning Alliance, the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army could afford that temporary decrease in battle power.

ʼEven if the ones working are Divine Ascension Masters, it will take hours, or maybe entire days, to build the God Tower, yet a single point-blank strike would destroy all their work and resources. What is that man plotting?ʼ

The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs eyes were sharp as he stared at the Void King. Although he knew there was something he could not see, he could not allow the God Tower to be completed, so there was no other choice but to fight.

”KILL!”

With that word, a new clash carried on as the Goldslayer Humankind soldiers marched forward, making their Wave explode, and in less than a minute, explosions echoed across the mountainʼs base.

Barely a second after that, the Titans and Gods of both sides clashed in the highest sky, unleashing explosions that set the air hundreds of meters above the ground ablaze.

As for the highest sky, that was reserved for those individuals whose battle power surpassed the might of even the most potent weapons of the Old World.

Angar Aegonʼs body radiated shadows as his Astral Wave burst across his body, while the Shadow King only glanced at the man before transforming into dozens of shadow streams. Soon, a clash between the two began, moving at shocking speed, and their auras barely perceptible for even True Titans.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar went straight for the Blood King, and his eyes were bursting with killing intent as he took out his sword and pushed his power to the peak. If he were to finish the Dark King, it would greatly help their side.

The Blood Kingʼs eyes burst with a golden light and a maddening expression as his entire body morphed into that of a blood dragon. In the last years, the Blood King had regained some of his lost power, yet during every fight, there was a sense of urgency and dread, as if every second that passed pushed him closer to death.

The mightiest of all the battles was none other than the one between the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the Void King.
