Chapter 489: Chapter489-Danger and Opportunity Coexist
Ael Fortress.
Josephine, Fiona, and Fiona stepped out of the city lord’s residence and stood atop the city walls, gazing into the distance.
The three Divine Oracles of the Bone Clan, Prologue Sage, and the others all wore grave expressions.
From the aura spilling out of the boundary gate alone, one could already sense the enemy’s strength.
Lucio and Philip watched intently.
Both of them clearly felt the almost fanatical worship that the former God Mountain people of Unar Province—as well as Cloudwood Province, Starreach Province, and other regions—held toward the God Mountain Imperial Guard, a reverence etched into their very bones and branded into their spirits.
Many towns had already begun to boil with unrest, as if they were about to forcibly break free from the empire’s control!
Such terrifying cohesion even moved Lucio and Philip.
However…
The more intense it was, the more fervent their gazes became.
“I wonder just how much it will hurt them when the God Mountain Imperial Guard is destroyed.”
Lucio’s eyes gleamed with ruthless ferocity.
The more precious something is, the more heart-rending it becomes when it shatters.
The more one cherishes something, the more cruelly the spirit is tortured when it is trampled without mercy.
The God Mountain Imperial Guard had already fused itself into the spiritual faith of the God Mountain people. Therefore, the impact would not stop at the destruction of this legion alone!
It would be like snapping the spine of all life under God Mountain—destroying their spiritual pillar.
If this were not done, then even if the Crossbridge Empire seized the territory of God Mountain, it would still be impossible to truly consolidate national momentum.
Because national momentum is born of where people’s hearts align.
On this point, Josephine understood it more deeply than anyone.
The Crossbridge Empire had once fallen into darkness and paid a bitter price for it.
“Your Excellencies, deploy the forces as quickly as possible!”
“Now that the God Mountain Imperial Guard has returned, Olympian God Mountain is likely preparing for a decisive battle. The Crossbridge Empire must—by the greatest extent and in the most thorough manner possible—destroy them!”
“If the greatness of Olympian God Mountain is built upon the shoulders of the God Mountain Imperial Guard and countless powerhouses…”
“Then the greatness of the Crossbridge Empire will be built upon… crushing that so-called greatness beneath our feet!”
Josephine’s voice carried unquestionable authority and dignity.
Her words made Lucio, Philip, Prologue Sage, the Lord of Sacred Light, and the others glance sideways, their hearts shaken.
Having been influenced by His Majesty day in and day out, the empress consort’s bearing had already been fully forged—enough to awe the hearts of men.
“As you command.”
Lucio and the others bowed in response.
As ministers, they naturally knew of the existence of the fifty million Sage King–rank legion and had some understanding of just how terrifying these destruction-aspected Sage King–rank warriors were.
Fifty million!
This was the lavish “gift” prepared specifically for the God Mountain Imperial Guard!
They intended to do it before all eyes—
Under the gaze of billions of living beings.
Under the eyes of countless believers, admirers, and the proud.
Under the watchful attention of experts from all sides…
Using the supreme blade of the Crossbridge Empire, they would smash the God Mountain Imperial Guard—brutally, completely, and with utter humiliation!
Lucio and Philip dispatched one hundred million God King–rank Void Warlocks and Soul Warlocks as bait.
Such an enormous bait was more than enough for the God Mountain Imperial Guard to feast upon!
After all, seventy to eighty million additional God King–rank troops had also rushed in as reinforcements from the Eura Continent.
At the same time, more than forty million God King–rank legions with soul and spatial attributes were sent to lie in ambush high in the sky, coordinating with the fifty million Sage King–rank Doom Legion.
They also brought the newly reforged Automaton Legion onto the battlefield, equipping it with Chaotic Artifacts as one of the main assault forces.
In addition, eight hundred million God General–rank and True God–rank troops were mobilized as well, ready to launch a massive occupation of God Mountain territory once the curse barrier was broken!
…
Boom—!
One day later, heaven and earth shook violently as laws shattered.
A terrifying aura of slaughter swept toward the Starlight Colonnade, the Eternal Winter Divine Empire, the Chaotic Realm, the Primordial Sacred Lands, the Clouded Domain, and other powers.
Countless Divine Oracles and Sage Lords turned their gazes toward this place.
Within the entire territory of Olympian God Mountain, all its people lifted their heads, holding their breath.
They saw the commander of the God Mountain Imperial Guard, Godwin, step out of the boundary gate first, accompanied by three quasi–Sage Lords.
A power that was visible to the naked eye and could be felt physically flooded everyone’s senses in an instant.
Immediately afterward…
Numerous Divine Oracles appeared one after another!
Then came ranks upon ranks of Sacred Radiance–rank warriors clad in blood-red armor, their bodies stained with divine blood, marching out of the void in formation.
Every single one of them was a high-level Sacred Radiance–rank powerhouse. The vast and terrifying aura they exuded was actually comparable to that of ancient Divine Radiants!
This sight made Prologue Sage, the Lord of Sacred Light, and the others’ pupils constrict sharply, fear surging in their hearts.
Because any one of these warriors, taken alone, would be enough to contend with them—and might even possess the ability to slay them!
And such powerhouses…
There were more than one hundred thousand of them!
Not a thousand.
Not ten thousand.
But one hundred thousand!
A number so large it inspired sheer terror.
This force made their hearts tremble—Sage Lords as supreme commanders, quasi–Sage Lords as generals, Divine Oracles as overall leaders…
With this single legion alone, it would be enough to bathe the entire Abyss Demon Realm in blood!
Compared to Olympian God Mountain, the Council of the Dark Order was simply not worth mentioning!
With the number of top-tier powerhouses at a disadvantage, the Crossbridge Empire would absolutely suffer losses.
This realization inevitably filled them with worry.
“One hundred thousand… this Imperial Guard has grown at an astonishing pace!”
Sherana stared at the scene, her heart shaken to the core.
Back when this legion had been dispatched to the Eternal Winter Divine Empire, it had numbered only a little over thirty thousand.
Now not only had it grown to one hundred thousand, but the average rank had reached Sacred Radiance rank eight or nine.
Such a strike force could not help but inspire dread!
“Part of them should have been recruited from the star sea,”
Lora said with a slight frown.
“So this is the God Mountain Imperial Guard? Truly worthy of its reputation!”
“It’s really… terrifyingly strong!”
The dragon-blooded man from the Stone Sea, Vane of the Thousandblade Spire, Vivien of the Sanctified Heart Garden, the Master of Coin, the Lord of Chaos, the many experts of the Chaotic Realm, and those who had arrived from the Starlight Colonnade were all inwardly horrified.
At this moment, their fear of Olympian God Mountain reached its peak.
“Tsk tsk… it’s over. The Crossbridge Empire is doomed this time!”
“This God Mountain Imperial Guard is far larger and stronger than we ever imagined! Just this single legion alone might be enough to completely crush the Crossbridge Empire, right?”
Countless people thought so in their hearts.
An army of one hundred million God King–rank soldiers was indeed terrifying—even capable of fighting Sage King–rank foes.
But every warrior before them now was Sacred Radiance rank!
And not just any Sacred Radiance rank—they were veterans who had slaughtered their way through the star sea for hundreds of thousands of years, existences comparable to ancient Sacred Radiance ranks, with utterly terrifying combat power!
To survive in that star-sea environment filled with taboos and horror…
Their strength was simply beyond imagination!
…
“Hahahaha… the Crossbridge Empire is finished!”
Within the imperial palace of the Litaran Empire, Claren burst into unrestrained laughter.
He could now confidently tell everyone that he had absolutely no regrets about his decision to strike against the Crossbridge Empire!
His laughter echoed throughout the palace, filled with uncontrollable excitement and elation.
The ministers all looked toward him.
Three chances for the God Mountain Imperial Guard to take action were no different from three divine talismans of survival.
Instead, it was the old emperor who wavered at this moment!
“Perhaps… his choice was the right one. Am I truly getting old?”
The old emperor sighed inwardly.
Risk and opportunity always coexist—without taking risks, how could one seize opportunity?
Everything before his eyes seemed to confirm this truth.
“This is simply unimaginable! All of them are high-level Sacred Radiance rank powerhouses—one hundred thousand of them!”
“Heavens… has the God Mountain Imperial Guard of Olympian God Mountain really developed to such a degree?”
“Unthinkable indeed. It may already faintly rival the number-one legion of the Celestial Light God Realm!”
“The Crossbridge Empire is truly finished this time!”
“Crush those lowly lower-realm people! Slaughter their entire race and wipe them out!”
Within the royal capital and the major provincial cities, many people who had once suffered crushing defeat at the hands of the Automaton Legion now roared in fury, their hatred and revulsion toward the Crossbridge Empire unmistakably intense.
