Chapter 67: Why Frown While Reaping the Harvest? Shouldn’t You Be Happy? 8/8
“Heavens! What is that!?”
“It’s enormous! Like a mountain moving across the sea!”
“We’re finished! We can’t win!”
The Order coalition forces wavered.
Wabla, after all, was a battle-tested "core councilor" who pinpointed the coalition’s weakness—its patchwork nature!
Though the "God of Light followers" held their formation firmly and fought fiercely, they represented only a fraction of the Order-side forces.
A small fraction at that.
Many warriors in the remaining armies had been mere farmers and craftsmen before this great battle. Demons existed only in nightmares until now!
That they marched to war under veterans’ commands, driven by homeland defense, without collapsing entirely amid fierce combat was achievement enough.
Any unexpected threat could shatter their fragile nerves instantly!
Now, the colossal warship emerging from the sea struck their hearts like a hammer, making shock and fear grow.
“That’s no island or mountain.”
Lady Arachne, the Deposed Noble, pulled her cloak tight, trembling slightly.
She’d come ashore with Glade and Sylvia as an advisor to the Order coalition.
Having resisted chaos and survived the "Time of the End," she recognized this horror.
“That’s a Demon Ark!”
“I’ve fought them before!”
The dreadful ark resembled a drifting island; massive transparent gas bags provided buoyancy, supporting a platform large enough for an entire demon legion.
Yet the true terror lay unseen—below the waves!
Dozens of thick tentacles extended from beneath the Demon Ark, churning wildly across the seabed.
This structure was specialized against underwater ambushes by "Chaos Gods." These "Seatless Ones" used such divine bodies to transport demon legions for those orchestrating the "Time of the End."
“There are three!”
“More may follow!”
“They…”
At the memory, Arachne shut her eyes helplessly, hand pressed to her forehead as if warding off painful memories.
“Can we stop them?”
Sylvia frowned.
Through the Soul Network, she and Glade received Sulya’s updates.
The Giant God still lingered on the ocean floor.
He silently tracked the "Chaos Arks" and their escort fleet, maintaining distance without closing in.
Even the blood octopus Outer God clan—loitering near the crater, scheming unknown plans—was ignored by the Giant God, left free to roam.
The Outer Gods completely ignored the harassment and expulsion attempts by the ocean people’s battleships.
For some reason, the "Holy Light from the Sun" could no longer restrain or harm the Outer Gods who no longer held hostility toward the Giant God; ordinary attacks barely scratched their defenses, like tickling an itch.
They endured the fleet’s assaults, scooped up the Giant God’s shed "skin" near the crater, then fled—nobody knew where or why.
Many ocean people feared these Outer Gods might use the Giant God’s remains for witchcraft,
like tying hair around a doll and stabbing it with needles.
Sulya immediately snapped:
"Stop this nonsense!"
"The mighty Giant God couldn’t possibly be harmed by such petty tricks!"
Regardless, the Giant God showed no intention of intervening. He silently trailed and observed, like a crocodile lurking underwater.
For now, the Order coalition stood alone.
But the Deposed Noble Arachne shook her head regretfully:
"Mortals exhausting every effort and sacrificing greatly might briefly delay a deity. Only when deities clash evenly can mortals tip the scales."
Harsh but true.
Though Sulya’s ocean people had played crucial roles in past Divine Battles, their contributions were largely as distractions or bait.
They’d reduced the Giant God’s victory costs—worthy of pride—
but even Sulya admitted: without them, the mighty Giant God would’ve still triumphed, just with more hassle.
"Those arks remain deities. Mortals attacking a chaos deity without divine backing is suicide!"
…
"Tsk…"
Sylvia spat, her expression darkening further.
Must they just watch demons invade human lands!?
The chosen knight clenched her teeth, refusing to yield.
But then—
"Hahahaha!"
Hearty laughter erupted beside her.
Captain Dekhaka!
His battlefield valor had recently earned him the honor of sailing into the Giant God’s "Mouth of God" to bathe in "Divine Gift Liquid."
Now the Giant God seemed to ease restrictions, permitting combat ships beyond the "Giant God’s Radiance" to enter the "Mouth of God," swelling the Chosen Knights’ ranks.
This time, the ocean people deployed a pure thousand-man squad of Chosen Knights!
Yet this force wasn’t the full might dispatched by "Holy Light from the Sun" followers.
Behind the "Chosen Knights" marched an elite ten-thousand-strong "Solar Knight" brigade.
Captain Dekhaka gestured toward his sprawling army, eyeing the perplexed Chosen Knight Sylvia.
“Come on!”
“Let them all come! The more, the better!”
“Today, we will reap the most delicious fruits and offer them to the great Giant God!”
“Does harvesting crops require frowning and worrying? Shouldn’t it be done with joy for the harvest!?”
“Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!”
Sylvia sighed.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“With so many demons to reap, I should be happy about it.”
“Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!”
With the shouts of the chosen knights, the followers of the “Giant God” also shouted loudly—“Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!”
The loud shouts echoed across the battlefield, and the demons trembled as the momentum from the “Demon Arks” was suppressed again.
But the Demon Arks were just vessels; the real power was in what they carried!
“Boom…”
“Bang!”
The arks landed, their huge feet pounding the ground.
A ten-meter-tall demon held a hellfire longsword in its left hand and a fiery whip in its right, walking heavily towards the Order-side camp.
“That’s the Abyssal Abomination!”
“Are they using their trump card this early?!”
The Abyssal Abomination was a high-ranking demon, tougher than the “Demon Prince” and “demon general” who led a group; but their minds were like beasts’.
Rage burned in them as they rushed wildly toward the Order-side lines.
“No—!”
“Ah—!”
The charge of the Abyssal Abominations broke the Order-side lines.
Because they assembled too fast, the Order-side didn’t have enough power to fight monsters and could only watch the infantry being killed by the Abyssal Abominations.
But it wasn’t too bad because the demon leaders aimed the main attack at the followers of the “Holy Light from the Sun”!
“GIAO—!”
The Abyssal Abominations howled as they charged at Glade, who stood at the front.
Glade raised his great sword bravely, his eyes steady as he faced the huge Abomination!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The big Abyssal Abomination grinned, lifting its great sword and roaring as it swung down!
But just then…
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Heavy footsteps and the creaking of mechanical gears echoed.
“Buzz—!”
The sound of a huge magical chainsaw starting up followed!
Then…
“Bang—!”
A large construct mech, almost as tall as the demon Abomination, slammed into the Abyssal Abomination, knocking it to the ground amid its terrible screams.
The magical chainsaw cut through the demon’s body!
The mech glowed with the strong aura of the Giant God, burning the Abyssal Abomination’s flesh.
The chainsaw ground through bones and steel, sparks flying, while the hot flesh and blood of the Abyssal Abomination splashed everywhere!
