Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 916: The Start of the Battle (Part 2)

The direction that the goddess had pointed her sword at was of course that of the Orcs’ Divine Temple.

With the wave of her sword, the chaos in the skies quieted down, and the dust and condensation in the air were dismissed. A path that was crystal clear and huge appeared, directly linking God Mountain and the Divine Temple.

The demigods smiled and turned to glance in the direction that the goddess was pointing at.

At the same time, the demigods of the Orcs were also glancing in the direction of the Mountain of Broken Clouds.

Even with the gap of thousands of mountains and rivers, these masters’ gazes met, and their opposing fighting spirits could be felt. This created tensions and sparks in the air.

“Don’t be agitated by them.” A god who had a furry, long tail and foxy ears smiled slightly. “The war is going to begin soon. Everyone is already pumped up, so now we have to stay calm.”

The Orcs then reduced the tension by glancing away and began calming themselves and their aura down.

Just as this young god had said, the Orcs never lacked battle spirit. Rather, the problem they often had was that they were too hot-headed and often fought without thought, landing themselves in traps too easily.

On the other hand, the legendary humans were beaming with battle-confident smiles under the divine light of bravery that the goddess emitted.

The Orcs and humans were exact opposites. The humans who had managed to enter the legendary peak were mostly those who were calm and rational. Although this allowed them to cleverly utilize and showcase their skills, it made it hard for them to up their intensity in war and reach their peak level of skill when it was necessary for them to do so.

Both sides were clear of the opposing side’s situation. This was why the leader of the Orcs’ side was the God of Temperance while the leader of the humans’ side was the Goddess of Bravery.

Unlike the rest, the two gods took careful measures to avoid each other’s gaze and did not stare at each other. This was not because they lacked fighting spirit but rather because they were aware that once their gazes met, it would be the time for the ceaseless battle to start.

Their battleground was destined to be out of the Human Realm, outside of the Main Plane.

There was a void that was vast and at a distance that a mid-level god would take one day to travel to from the Main Plane.

This void was originally created by the humans, and it originally housed several worlds of different sizes. Now, since they had all migrated or moved away, there was only an empty void left with nothing in it.

Two giant balls of aura traveled simultaneously towards this void.

If one were to look closely, within each aura, there was a giant ball structure; it was the God Kingdoms of the human gods and the Orc gods.

Towards the life and death battle that was about to take place, both sides had invested great determination and even moved their God Kingdom over.

God Kingdoms were the basis of the gods and the god systems. They were irreplaceable and valuable sources of energy and could produce infinite amounts of Oracles and could even allow gods who had died in battle to resurrect.

Most importantly, God Kingdoms by nature were also extremely powerful weapons.

The easiest way to use them was through collision.

Bang!

The collision of the two God Kingdoms was the last and most powerful move of the gods when they battled. It could even determine the fate of the entire battle. With one bang, the results of the war would be determined.

The victor would definitely triumph, and the loser would definitely die. The most common result was that both sides would perish together.

“The various Orc gods have brought their God Kingdom over, could they possibly be thinking of using the collision strategy?” As Sui Xiong glanced at the two God Kingdoms, which had been temporarily shrunk but still majestic, he couldn’t help but spit out some saliva in shock. “What is the Human God System doing? Why are they taking such a gamble?”

“Going with and without their God Kingdom makes a big difference.” The God of Justice, Yorgaardman, glanced at the two giant God Kingdoms inching towards each other and sighed lightly. “Don’t think that the humans have a huge advantage and can afford to be complacent. Without bringing over their God Kingdom, by facing the God Kingdom of the Orcs with troops alone, they could possibly lose.”

“What if the Orcs feel that they are about to lose and decide to use the collision strategy?” Sui Xiong asked worriedly.

“Well, if that happens, we have no choice but to allow it to be so. The humans can’t possibly leave their God Kingdom behind out of paranoia.” The God of War, Wenner, smiled slightly and said. “Without their God Kingdom, they will surely lose. With it, they may win. Be it a weak victory, it’s still better than a loss.”

Sui Xiong and the other present gods nodded. The evil gods smiled as they felt that no matter what, this battle could bring some benefits to them. On the other hand, the good gods sighed as they mourned the impending loss of several lives and gods.

Under the watchful gaze of the gods, the two God Kingdoms gradually approached each other. One could see that the “aura” that surrounded both God Kingdoms was not actually an aura but rather the Oracle troops.

There’s a saying on Earth that if there was more than ten thousand people, the group would look infinite in numbers. With the gathering of the human and Orc troops, the entire scene looked like there was an uncountable number of people present. If they had sent more troops, they would even block out all sunlight. From the sky, it seemed as if there was a huge, angry mob that had appeared on the ground.

As compared to the Oracle troops gathered here, the normal troops were not worth mentioning anymore. How many Oracles did both sides have?! Even the most experienced gods were unable to tell.

Everyone could only glance at the infinite number of Oracles rushing out from both sides’ God Kingdoms, surrounding each other in circles. Finally, these Oracles merged into two separate auras, and it was similar to a halo comprising of gravel and ice in the universe.

The Orc God System’s God Kingdom and the Human God System’s God Kingdom were both extremely big. If one were to compare the two God Kingdoms to plants in the universe, the planets would look like little brothers in comparison. As for both sides’ Oracle troops, they had become glowing auras that surrounded the two God Kingdoms.

“How many Oracles are there!” a god gasped in surprise. “If so many Oracles rush up against each other at once, many gods will be killed instantly…”

The gods were all silent in mutual agreement. No one dared to voice out a differing opinion given the situation at hand.

Normally, gods and Oracles differed greatly. Even if thousands of Oracles worked together, they would not be able to defeat a god. However, we were not talking about thousands of Oracles here. What about tens out thousands, hundreds of thousands, thousands upon thousands of Oracles? There were even millions, trillions, gazillions of Oracles here, and more…

With this great amassing of Oracles, they would definitely be a huge, united force to be reckoned with. Even with the support of gods, these Oracles could definitely force many gods to retreat or beg for mercy.

“Such a battle will only involve those with Divine Powers. Those of mid-level and below won’t dare to join in,” the God of War said.

The gods nodded. Against such large Oracle troops, even mid-levels would run for their lives quickly. Only Divine Powers beyond one’s imagination had the ability to stay and fight.

One could also say that from the start, this battle had already become one between the Divine Powers, and they would be the ones determining the fate of the humans and Orcs.
