Chapter 324
by fanqienovelChapter 324: How Could Core Councilors Lose When They’re in Your Face?
“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”
The earth trembled with mournful cries as the colossal deities stomped the ground with their powerful legs.
Their mountain-like bodies left enormous craters across the land!
“Splash—!”
Above, the chaotic clouds grew unbearably dark; the dense chaos could no longer be contained as mere “clouds.”
They solidified into blood-filth downpours, cascading from the sky.
Soon, the massive craters left by the Chaos Demon Gods filled with liquefied Chaos Energy, becoming blood-stained “lakes of pollution.”
Yet the farther these Chaos Demon Gods trekked across the desolate wasteland, the more unsettled they became.
Their blood pressure spiked.
At every turn, they witnessed…
“What is this!?”
“Are foolish mortals mocking us!?”
“Do they dare challenge the entire Chaos Council!?”
“Such stupidity! Such delusion!”
Like his chaotic underlings, Walifer felt his blood pressure surge.
Because scattered before his eyes were mounds—piles stacked as tall as divine bodies.
All were demon corpses.
Many lay headless, yet most remained “intact,” preserved as they were at the moment of death, likely due to hasty disposal.
In their lifeless eyes lingered profound fear and despair.
These dark emotions clung to the mountains of corpses even after death.
The collective dread of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands—millions—of demon corpses seeped into the Chaos Demon Gods!
Though it didn’t plunge them into equal despair, it spiked their blood pressure relentlessly.
What enraged them most was Valaharl itself—a world reduced to rubble, devoid of all living souls!
“Foolish humans! Did you think scorched earth tactics could stop us?”
“Do you truly believe this would work!?”
Walifer’s eyes narrowed with fury.
Though the Crystal Walls of the Bubble World Valaharl had shattered, its Will of the World endured.
She stubbornly rallied the world’s power to hinder the demon gods.
Worse, after the Crystal Walls fell, the wind from the void should have flooded the Bubble World with chaotic Magic Power, crippling the Will of the World—stripping her consciousness and resistance to let Chaos Demon Gods reign unchallenged.
Yet…
“Why hasn’t the wind from the void blown!?”
“The power of chaos seemed to be difficult to sustain!”
“Where are our Outer Gods from the Void?”
“At this moment, shouldn’t there be a large number of Outer Gods rushing in to join the fun and participate in the final stages of the war?”
To put it unpleasantly, the Outer Gods were like flies.
They sought out weakness and wounds, then rushed in, devouring greedily.
Logically, nothing should have been more suitable for them to feast upon than this shattered Bubble World.
Usually, the Outer Gods would have ridden the wind from the void and flooded this world!
Unfortunately…
The sky was barren, with no Outer Gods coming to this feast.
“Damn it!”
Walifer was filled with rage.
He had already figured out the reason.
“Gimmerly!”
The name of a Chaos Demon God came out through gritted teeth.
“Indeed, it’s Gimmerly who is meddling!”
Both the “wind from the void” and the “Outer Gods” fell under the jurisdiction of the “authority of the void”; with the authority in her hands, Gimmerly had the capability to cast magic and change the direction of the wind from the void.
She also had the right to make the ravenous Outer Gods curb their greed and bypass this Bubble World.
“Without the wind from the void continuously supplying Chaos Energy, what we worked hard to establish in Valaharl, the ‘Chaos Canopy,’ will be diluted!”
“I thought the ‘Chaos Rain’ that just fell from the sky was a good thing; but it turns out, this could very well be one of Valaharl’s means of resistance!”
And indeed, that was the case.
Valaharl sent other energies that did not conflict with Chaos Energy into the “chaotic clouds” that formed the “Chaos Canopy,” causing an overload and creating artificial rainstorms time and again in certain areas.
When the Chaos Energy fell to the ground and pooled in low areas, the concentration of Chaos Energy in the air plummeted sharply, creating a situation that was quite unfavorable for the Chaos Demon Gods!
“If there’s no collusion, I just can’t believe it!”
Walifer gritted his teeth.
It was clearly unrealistic to hold Gimmerly accountable now; he would have to wait until after this battle to protest or question her.
“So…”
…
“So let’s retreat.”
A familiar but surprising voice sounded.
He looked up and saw an Outer God “transmitting” messages.
That voice originated from Morax, who remained outside the Bubble World.
“I believe the current conditions are not very favorable for us.”
“And this world is considered the core world of the Giant God; I found it hard to believe we broke through so easily.”
“There must be traps waiting inside…”
Morax’s incessant rambling and gloomy words made the Chaos Demon Gods, led by Walifer, increasingly impatient.
Finally…
“Enough—!”
Walifer roared.
He could no longer tolerate Morax’s defeatist talk.
“Morax, you’re either a fool or a traitor!”
To the Chaos Demon Gods, though Gimmerly had been meddling and Valaharl’s Will of the World desperately resisted—using whatever means it could to delay Chaos’s advance while continually piling up disadvantages—the overall situation hadn’t changed.
Had the Giant God been hiding within this Bubble World, Walifer might’ve acted more cautiously.
After all, the Chaos Demon Gods’ power had waned, and without vigilance, they risked being defeated one by one.
But the truth was—the Giant God wasn’t even in Valaharl!
Facing no deity matching their strength—neither the Giant God nor any equal—mere mortals stood no chance against a true demon god!
“No…”
“I say it’s jealousy!”
“We’ve all entered the Bubble World while you alone stayed behind!”
“Are you envious of our coming triumph?”
“Forward!”
They ignored Morax’s warnings…
In fact, his cautions only hardened the resolve of Walifer’s faction to advance. They became convinced Morax, like Gimmerly, sought to hinder them.
The sole difference: Gimmerly wielded authority; Morax could only spout empty words.
Soon, Valaharl’s mortals’ final refuge came into view.
“Are those ‘World Nails’—‘reversed’!?”
“I’ve heard locals call them the ‘Giant God’s Tower.’”
“Heh, crush them, and it all ends!”
“I refuse to believe mortals and these lifeless constructs could halt us—even for the Giant God!?”
“The core councilor leads the charge himself!”
“This battle can’t be lost!”
