Chapter 856 - 361: Devouring the Centaur Divine Kingdom (Part 2)
Chapter 856: Chapter 361: Devouring the Centaur Divine Kingdom (Part 2)
But compared to shrinking, the increase in speed was much slower.
At this moment, the sun in the Crown of the Sun silently returned to hang high in the Swamp Divine Kingdom.
The War Intent Chains continued to be refined within.
The Chaos Grass swayed gently, as if nothing had happened...
With the integration of the Centaur Divine Kingdom’s power, the crystal wall outside the Swamp Divine Kingdom became increasingly solid.
The Origin Power was profound and vast.
Crack~
Two hours later, accompanied by a crisp breaking sound, countless cracks appeared on the Plane Stone of the Centaur Divine Kingdom and then it directly shattered.
The foundation of this plane had now lost all its power, turning into ordinary stone.
The passage leading to the Centaur Divine Kingdom, after the fragmentation of the Plane Stone, resumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, it vanished without a trace.
Upon concentrating, no trace of the centaur plane could be seen...
Lear at this moment felt a sensation of being overstuffed.
Although he couldn’t grasp the Authority of the Centaur God, the vast power contained within the opponent’s Divine Kingdom was even stronger than that of the Swamp Divine Kingdom.
And at this moment, he devoured it all without any loss.
The entire Swamp Divine Kingdom became stronger by more than a notch.
Upon concentrating his senses, the area of the Swamp Divine Kingdom increased from a diameter of 500 kilometers to 600 kilometers.
It increased by one-fifth in an instant.
Moreover, the thickness of the plane’s crystal wall became exaggerated, originally only thumb-thick, but now it had increased to fist-thick.
The defense drastically surged.
Even if a divine spirit with powerful divine power attacked, it would be difficult to shatter the crystal wall... This was the crystallization of the power of an entire plane!
The mood became extremely joyful.
Those extra lands were all valuable sources of food production and places for population settlement.
The wider the divine kingdom, the stronger the divine spirit’s power, this was an iron law.
Moreover, this god-slaying war brought more than just that.
The complete divine body of the Centaur God equally made one’s heart waver.
This was the corpse of a divine spirit, and a newly deceased one at that.
The divine power and divinity contained within its body were concentrated to the extreme.
Extract it all, it would be easy to forge a divine artifact.
Using it to nurture an army, raising a few demigods would be no problem...
Moreover, the long spear used by the opponent had not been damaged at all, sensing its aura, it was only a slight difference from being a divine artifact.
Letting the Fray people forge it later, it could definitely become an authentic divine artifact.
In addition to that, there were also the corpses of twenty thousand Doomed Iron Hooves!
These were all abundant wealth.
This wave was pure, damn profitable!
The only thing that puzzled Lear was that in the Centaur God’s divine kingdom, he didn’t find any wealth... This divine kingdom seemed to be merely an empty shell temporarily storing the opponent’s army.
Unlike the Swamp Divine Kingdom, which harbored a vast amount of resources within.
But the Swamp God had already fallen, so this puzzle was destined to go unanswered.
After calming his mind, his gaze turned towards Kalanis, who had returned with her head held high.
His eyes filled with delight.
This hero, whose ancient god bloodline flowed through her veins and whom he personally nurtured, had finally grown to a height capable of providing him substantial aid.
"Kalanis, how do you feel now? Any insights after becoming a weak divine power?"
Upon hearing this, Kalanis softly gazed at the valiant figure before her.
She thought for a moment and then seriously spoke.
"My lord, after mastering the authority, I have gained a deeper understanding of the world’s rule operations."
"The Power of Authority, at its core, is part of the operation of the world’s rules. The essence of the power we master is to make the world’s rules operate more smoothly."
"I observed the Centaur God and that God of the Wild and the Stars, their mastery of authority seemed superficial; they didn’t seem to understand this."
Lear was deep in thought.
Mastering authority is, in essence, to make the world operate more smoothly?
This was clearly the original intention of the Creator God in granting authority to divine spirits.
But as time passed, who still remembers this original intention?
Divine spirits, wielding powerful forces without constraint, naturally act more and more self-centered.
They regard rules as their deserved power!
And Kalanis, it was clear, understood it more deeply... Her seamless mastery of authority was definitely not just due to that terrifying talent.
He nodded approvingly.
"Not bad, you have clearly stepped into a deeper level of understanding regarding authority."
"In the future, among the gods of powerful divine power, there will surely be a place for you."
He had high hopes for this warrior, even if the other didn’t have ancient god bloodline flowing in their veins, just based on their will, they could reach the top!
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of previous information.
His deep eyes gazed at the warrior with a majestic demeanor.
"The abyss has your opportunity... After this campaign, you can make a trip to the abyss. Perhaps there you will gain more."
Abyss...
Kalanis instinctively glanced at the golden armor on her body, thinking of those mysterious existences.
Nodded her head.
"Yes, my lord..."
Lear made a statement but didn’t say more on the subject, intending to discuss it further after the Goddess of Misfortune’s arrangements were completed.
He then informed Kalanis of the various causes and effects related to the Goddess of Misfortune and the Wild Pantheon, and finally said,
"The Centaur God has already fallen, and the Master of the Wild Pantheon has already had a part of their soul severed... It is unknown whether the situation will change drastically next."
"But regardless, we have only one goal... To protect our territory!"
"We currently cannot intervene in the battle of the Goddess of Misfortune and the others."
These are beings of powerful divine power clashing, and he has not developed for long enough, far from enough...
Kalanis raised her head.
"My lord, no one can destroy the swamp!"
Her tone was firm and resolute.
After ascending to become a god, she had enough confidence to say this.
Lear smiled gladly, saying no more for now.
His gaze turned to the gathered corpses of the Doomed Iron Hooves, and with a thought, sealed all these corpses in the Land of Crimson Rot.
To be watched over by the Lord of Blood Flies.
For this battle, to prevent accidents, Lear had this demigod lurking in the Land of Crimson Rot awaiting his command.
You must always keep some cards in hand, this was the deepest lesson learned over a long time.
No one knows what unexpected situations might occur.
The body of the Centaur God was sealed deep beneath the earth by him.
Now was not the time to deal with this body.
After doing all this, without lingering in the divine kingdom, he moved with a thought, taking with him part of Kalanis’s Power of the Soul, returning to Weilu City.
A brand new vine body accommodated the other’s will.
After Lear opened his eyes, he immediately took Kalanis to the city wall.
This bloody battle was still not over... After the fall of the Centaur God, the enemy’s morale had significantly dropped.
However, at this time, from behind the large space rift, an ocean of stag knights and giant bear warriors were pouring in, beginning to replace the centaurs as the main force of the siege.
As Lear appeared, the enemy just engaged the eagle knights with the stags on the ground joining in the war.
The cavalry on the ground charged, while the flying soldiers in the sky pressed forward together.
One by one, eagles with ten-meter wingspans soared loudly across the sky, the knights on their backs continuously drawing bows and shooting wildly.
Arrows pierced through the void, densely hitting the cold-blooded cavalry on the city walls.
For a moment, the situation seemed to be dominated by the enemy.
And those eagle warriors showed no mercy, beginning to fly into the interior of Weilu City, aiming to attack and shoot the residents and logistics personnel inside.
Their goal was not to conquer Weilu City, but to force Lear to withdraw troops from Katana to defend.
So they applied pressure wherever they could.
Especially those obvious production department buildings, which were the main targets of concentrated attacks from the enemy.
But little did they know that the residents had long transferred into the underground city...
The attacks of these eagle knights did not cause any substantial harm.
Even the buildings targeted for concentrated attacks were at most shot through... with some items lost inside.
There were no casualties.
And the foresight in constructing the underground city now perfectly demonstrated its value.
In the depths of a hundred meters underground, the battle scene appeared in the residents’ minds at this moment.
Watching the enemy’s actions, their hearts were filled with indignation and united fully in solidarity.
Meanwhile, their hands did not stop working, the blacksmith shop, arrow production factory, alchemy workshop... none stopped.
The residents were instead stimulated by the chaos outside, frantically throwing themselves into production.
The output of various military supplies became even more exaggerated.
Lear gazed coldly at the grand battle scene before him, his eyes turning sharp.
Trying to conquer Weilu City?
Let’s see the true colors of your courage!
He had been nurturing his land and developing for so long, all for this day?!
