Chapter 533
by fanqienovelChapter 533: There Are No Troops Available on Far Reaching Star!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The war drums sounded.
The Chosen Ones warriors, busy at work, quickly grabbed their helmets and masks and rushed to their posts.
Massive void battleships set sail one after another, charging into the boundless void.
As flying battleships, they soared through the air.
Local technical officers on Far Reaching Star had made special changes to the battleships—they slightly weakened the Smashing Claw but strengthened the ramming horns and the ships’ overall structure.
This let them transfer huge momentum from the ramming horns when they suddenly dove down from the void.
Even with the Ether Sea as a barrier, hit lower deities felt intense pain and might lose their combat power quickly, even if not badly hurt.
But in Far Reaching Star’s tactics, the void battleships were only backup.
Don’t forget.
Two living saints were stationed here.
The more active and noticeable one was Fourth Living Saint Angna and her group called the “Living Saints’ Secretary Team.”
But the top ruler in title and power was Second Living Saint Albert Drake, known as the “Ether Queen.”
Due to his laziness, he handed his authority to Fourth Living Saint Angna and the “Living Saints’ Secretary Team.”
That didn’t mean Second Living Saint Albert Drake ignored everything.
He put all his effort into polishing his “treasure”!
“Ether Fleet!”
“Sortie!”
Sharp, lively, and eager shouts echoed in the Soul Network.
One by one, the massive “Ether Queen-class” battleships slowly sailed out of their ports. The Giant God engine gave them strong power, making their bionic tail fins sway side to side and stir huge whirlpools in the ether!
Flickering lights dotted their tall dorsal fins.
Their chambers sat not at the bow but near the back. The bow held the strongest weapon besides ether torpedoes and ether cannons—the bionic combat mouth!
This was also the only gear mortal battleships could use to hurt deities.
Once battle started, these ether battleships charged like fierce sharks, tearing enemies apart!
Even if the enemy was a deity, it was no different!
“Boom—!”
“Bang—!”
Cannons and ether torpedoes kept exploding in the ether.
The ether battleships met the enemy.
But their foes weren’t True Deities—they were the huge sea beasts that came with the deities!
These creatures had a deep, strange tie to the deities they followed.
Some researchers believed that it might be a communication method like the "Soul Network."
They drew enemy deities’ attention for the gods behind them, cleared away annoying mortals, and paved the way, so their own deities could save their magic power and stamina for what really mattered!
These huge creatures lacked divinity but had scary, tough bodies; once they slipped into the Ether Sea behind the dam, they could wreck Far Reaching Star badly.
Behind every Chosen Warrior stood a family of hundreds!
They had to fight for their loved ones!
But not all enemies could be handled by the Chosen Warriors and their battleships.
"Warning!"
"The invasion level is—red!"
"Many powerful deities are coming!"
"Predicted as…"
"Lord level 4, Usurper level 6!"
Hearing the patrol ship’s report, Albert Drake frowned.
She and Angna had just finished patrolling the edge of the shallow Ether Sea.
"This is serious!"
"But trying to break through the ‘Holy Tree Dam’ defenses with this power…"
"It feels like a joke."
"Because…"
As the two living saints "powered up" their Divine Bodies and rose from the shallow Ether Sea…
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"
The raging flood of ether almost blew them back while three massive deities thrashed wildly!
The shallow Ether Sea looked packed with these enormous Divine Bodies, hiding everything else!
They seemed like angry mountains speeding under the sea, smashing toward them like gods of hate!
"Bang—!"
"Boom—!"
"Crash—!"
Loud collision noises rang out!
When mountains hit deities, the mountains broke.
But these weren’t mountains; they were scarier than the Ether Usurpers—the core of chaos!
They were way stronger than the Ether Usurpers, beating down even the "Lord level" ether deities.
The three core demon gods struck hard, leaving four Lord-level and three Usurper-level deities barely defending.
Victory wasn’t clear yet, but the ether deities they pinned down couldn’t move forward!
"Ha…"
"I never imagined that one day I’d cooperate with the Chaos Demon God."
Angna nodded slightly.
Her gaze held complex emotions.
After all, her Bubble World had been destroyed by chaos deities.
But since the Giant God saved her, her compatriots, and her world, why not set aside hatred for the Giant God’s sake?
Moreover…
"Great is the Giant God!"
"The stench of chaos sulfur on these Chaos Demon Gods has nearly vanished, while the Giant God’s aura has grown far stronger…"
"One could say…"
"The Giant God trained these chaos deities like dogs!"
"The Chaos Demon Gods must be suffering a fate worse than death!"
"This is their ultimate punishment!"
"Still, I won’t lose to these creatures!"
The Chaos Demon Gods intercepted all Lord-level deities and three Usurper-level beings.
Yet three slipped through the net, charging toward the Ether Sea behind the dam.
"They must not succeed!"
"Nor shall the Chaos Demon God steal the glory here!"
"Kill!"
Killing intent flooded Angna’s calm eyes as she swung her massive, broad tail and lunged forward!
"ROAR—!"
With a roar, she entangled two Ether Usurpers!
"Hey!"
"You’re usually so composed—why are you wilder than me now!?"
"What the hell!"
"Wait up!"
Albert Drake shouted, pouncing to viciously grapple the final Ether Usurper!
Blood-tinted waves churned in the Ether Sea as giant beasts tore savagely at each other.
The battle escalated to white heat.
Both living saints leaned toward combat prowess; empowered by the Giant God, their Divine Bodies now rivaled powerful core councilors. Their seamless coordination let two overpower three foes.
Yet unease prickled the living saints’ hearts.
"What’s happening!?"
"When outmatched before, these Ether Gods always panicked."
But today seemed much calmer!
Even…
For some reason, the eyes of the already nearly defeated Ether Usurpers gleamed with mockery.
This made Albert Drake furious!
"What the heck are you laughing at?"
"Watch me tear you apart!"
"Roar—!"
Just as Albert Drake closed in again…
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"
A massive sound boomed behind the Ether Usurpers!
A huge swarm of deities covered the entire shallow Ether Sea!
"Kill!"
"Destruction!"
"Annihilation!"
They roared with furious roars, charging forward, and quickly drowned the chaos deities and the living saints.
"Damn it!"
"Ah—!"
The battle turned around in an instant.
Fortunately, only a small number of Ether Gods chose to stay and help, stopping Albert Drake and Angna from being beaten right away.
But they didn’t feel relieved.
Because…
"No—!"
These scary fish-shaped deities suddenly lunged into the "Holy Tree Dam"!
Albert Drake wanted to turn back and help, but…
"Uh…"
A sharp pain hit her.
Because of her earlier turn and distraction, a small bite mark showed up on her tail fin.
Though it wasn’t even a real wound, it reminded her—losing focus on the battlefield means death!
This also showed a worse truth—the Ether Lords and Ether Usurpers had pinned down all god-level powers near the Far Reaching Star.
Now, nothing inside the "Holy Tree Dam" could fight the deities.
The Far Reaching Star had no troops left!
"What can we fight with…?"
"Are we counting on those ‘Ancient Cup Gods’?"
