Chapter 71: The Shameful Betrayal That Nearly Ended the World!
“Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!”
“Kill! Advance! Move forward!”
“Praise the Giant God!”
“Buzz—!”
On the battlefield, the sounds of shouting, praising, and chainsaws rose and fell like waves as the battle reached its peak.
Bloodthirsty demons and similar low-level demons fell in droves, their headless corpses scattered everywhere.
As for the heads…
Some were hung from the waists of the Solar Knights and Ashen Knights shouting “blood sacrifice for the Giant God,” while others were hastily piled together, forming a makeshift skull display.
The Abyssal Abominations, repulsed by the Giant God’s aura, were also retreating under the blows of the armed miners.
Although they possessed strong self-regeneration abilities, being “glued” to the armed miners’ mechs, the scent and substance from the divine grace mounds prevented their wounds from healing and even further corroded the bodies of the Abyssal Abominations.
The substance and aura from the “divine grace mounds” were like poison to chaos!
While the chaos commander slyly deployed high mobility squads to attack the weaknesses of the Order coalition—excluding the “Holy Light followers”—the actual commander, Bohimond, began to counterattack, continuously sending small killing teams to support allied forces.
As long as they stood next to these towering armored warriors and fought alongside them, even the most cowardly mortal soldier mustered the courage to ignore the demons’ destructive aura and fight bravely.
Because these mortals saw the fear and cowardice in the eyes of the demons, no less than their own!
“So it turns out demons aren’t so formidable; they can be afraid too.”
…
In this game primarily composed of mortal warriors and low- to mid-level demons, the Order side gained absolute dominance!
Moreover, with the follow-up forces of chaos suddenly cut off and the late reinforcements from the various Order deities arriving in waves, organized by the "Purity Officers," even the demons, who possessed individual capabilities far surpassing average soldiers, felt the terror of being overwhelmed by numbers.
Under the pressure of the Order coalition, they began to gradually retreat toward the coastline behind them.
In fact, this was a move to gather closer to the chaos deities seeking more protection.
“Victory is near!”
“Drive them back to the sea! Force their filthy deity to act!”
“Kill!”
Just as the morale of the Order side surged and they pressed onward…
“Boom—!”
“Roar, roar, roar—!”
A thunderous roar and cries suddenly erupted from behind the Order side!
Then…
“Boom— boom— boom—!”
Mountains trembled, the ground shook, and the chaotic powers, previously in harmony with the Order deities, suddenly erupted, covering the entire battlefield!
There could only be one explanation—while the mortals’ battle went smoothly, the “God’s War” experienced a total collapse!
The Order Gods had lost!
And the reason for their defeat was…
“Boom——!”
A massive being resembling a giant beetle rolled from the back of the Order camp and crashed to the ground; its heavy armor extended downward until it touched the earth.
No creature could likely withstand such armor.
However, that armor seemed useless now, as it lay on the ground, with its limbs pointing skyward.
“Zzz—— zzz——!”
The giant limbs kicked and flailed continuously, while its mouthparts opened and closed.
“Ah——!”
“No——!”
Many followers on the battlefield suddenly held their heads and collapsed to the ground.
Some screamed madly, rolling on the ground, even rushing at the demons as if seeking death.
This was a symptom of divine power backlash!
The deity that had granted them strength had fallen!
Many more followers fell to the ground, wailing in pain, allowing the demons to reap their lives.
The few who still could fight moved sluggishly, swinging their swords weakly.
This meant that their god was gravely wounded and could no longer fight.
Another group of warriors turned in panic, gazing at the enormous "beetle" that had fallen.
That was their deity—the God of Justice, Beltan!
Rage and resentment came from the mouth of the God of Justice.
“Manfred! You traitor!”
This name was an unexpected shock.
Manfred was the "Earth God," whose temple had always preached slogans like "love and justice on earth"; the Earth Church’s clergy were known for their kindness.
This church was one of the most widespread in this "Bubble World"!
No one could have imagined that the "Earth God," responsible for overseeing the powers of “land” in this Bubble World, would betray and join chaos!
“Ha ha ha ha…”
A sinister and arrogant laughter echoed.
The Earth God Manfred dragged his spider-like colossal Divine Body, slowly crawling onto the abdomen of the fallen God of Justice!
“It’s better to be a traitor than to fall!”
“Besides, the offer from over there was surprisingly good!”
Manfred’s betrayal was both shameful and complete.
He said no more but revealed his enormous fangs and bit down viciously!
“Pshhh——!”
“Zzz——!”
The God of Justice twisted in vain, but his struggles grew weaker and weaker!
—-
The Order-side seemed defeated.
Despairing news arrived one after another.
“The God of Justice and Fairness was on the verge of falling.”
“The Lady of Magic had suffered heavy injuries and could not continue in the God’s War.”
“The Guardian King God had fallen.”
“The God of Hunting was heavily wounded and could not persist in the God’s War.”
…
Chief of Staff Bohimond summarized the battlefield information, surrounded by dejected generals.
The Champion Chosen One Glade leaned on his great sword, watching the massive creature tearing and sucking the body fluids of the “God of Justice”—the Earth God Manfred, who had betrayed the Order deities and struck against them.
“The situation is quite serious.”
The gloomy generals looked up in surprise at the Chief of Staff of the “God of Light Army.”
They were not shocked by his pessimistic words; they thought he was too optimistic.
What does “quite serious” even mean?
It’s clearly “utter despair”!
They had already lost the "God’s War," so what could mere mortals do?
The generals felt that the deities they believed in had already left; their divine power had vanished. No matter how strong they were before, they were now just well-equipped soldiers with good combat skills.
No one on the battlefield, or in this world, could resist chaos anymore!
Yet, facing these disheartened generals, Bohimond grinned.
“Do you think it’s despair?”
“But there is one thing you might not have noticed.”
“It has been one hour since the ‘false Earth God’ Manfred’s betrayal led to our defeat in the God’s War.”
“In that hour, although the chaos deity withdrew the barrier against magic and covered us in chaos shadows, it did not send its Divine Body for the final blow.”
“In that hour, we gathered all the remaining troops who could fight and pulled back toward the inland.”
“But the enemy only sent the demon legion, not its Divine Body, to fight us.”
“Don’t you find that odd?”
The generals’ eyes lit up.
Yes!
Logically, the chaos deity should have shown its cruel side and sent its huge Divine Body to smash through mortal ranks, enjoying the thrill of slaughter and crushing!
Following the chaos gods, demons carried out a brutal hunt across the land, tormenting warriors who dared resist them and showcasing their cruel artistry upon captives.
But now, none of this was happening!
The false Earth God remained busy devouring prey—understandable enough—yet the chaos deity showed no reaction. Even the Outer Gods from the Void that had circled overhead vanished, now flying toward the distant sea.
This seemed strange!
More crucially, followers of the Holy Light from the Sun hadn’t scattered!
Their army swiftly regrouped. Purity Officers brought only lightly armed mobilized troops, reuniting scattered Ashen Knights kill-teams with the main force.
Armed miners shifted to ranged mode, acting as mobile artillery. They counterattacked the demon legion with "magic-guided mountain cannons."
Saltwater Queen, Albert Drake’s musket troops rushed from the coast, joining the retreat inland while dealing heavy casualties to the demon legion.
As followers gathered, the "god’s" power still manifested above the army—not fading, if anything growing stronger!
It shielded against chaos’s corruption and bolstered morale.
"But what’s the use?"
Someone lamented, head in hands.
"What can one deity accomplish?"
"All Order Gods are finished! What can a single god do!"
"Uh—"
Before the complainer finished, hands seized him.
"You mud-dwelling sandworm! Low-tide clam! Bury yourself in sludge if you wish!"
"We saved you to fight, not to whine!"
It was Lady Albert Drake.
Divine grace had made her taller yet more feminine. None present expected such beauty to harbor bear-surpassing strength!
The despondent general was hoisted midair, legs flailing uselessly.
"Two choices!"
"First: honor your balls—die fighting like a man!"
"Second: I toss you to demons—become their dung!"
*Thud!*
The fallen general scrambled up, mind unhinged.
"What do you know!?"
"Madmen! Thinking your lone god changes anything!"
"You’ll share my fate—"
His rant froze mid-sentence…
*Boom——!*
A colossal spray erupted far at sea. A white wall of waves surged toward shore!
Just then, the treacherous false Earth God Manfred seemed to receive orders. Reluctantly, it stirred six spindly legs, crawling seaward.
