Chapter 918: The Final Battle (Part 2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In a war of gods, using the collision strategy of the God Kingdoms was a well-known method.

After all, the God Kingdoms were agglomerates of massive amounts of Divine Power and were the gods’ strongest clones. To each god, the God Kingdom was his main and actual body. To the gods’ systems, the God Kingdom was the combination of all the gods’ powers.

It was needless to say that in the case where one simply wanted strength, everyone would focus their powers on the God Kingdom and use it to knock down the enemy as it was both a useful and powerful move.

There was no greater method than allowing a God Kingdom to self-destruct.

Self-Destroying a God Kingdom meant the downfall of the gods, and using this method meant one was ready to perish if it was so. In comparison, the mere collision of two God Kingdoms was less cruel, and there was still the chance of one side emerging unscathed.

However… In reality, every time the collision strategy was used, a God Kingdom would almost always explode.

The contact between two God Kingdoms, or rather, the lack of distance between them, meant that the laws of the two god systems and the two sides of gods’ had a most direct clash or conflict.

This sort of conflict was most intense and would directly shake the core of the God Kingdoms. Under such circumstances, as long as a bit more energy was added, the God Kingdom that was more severely damaged would self-destruct.

In reality, normally, god systems that utilized this method planned to knock down the enemy’s God Kingdom and self-destruct.

In any case, whether or not their God Kingdom self-destructed, they would still die. No matter how one saw the situation, there was only death ahead. Even the weakest and most useless gods would put in their utmost and fight desperately.

No matter what, though, this shouldn’t have been the Orcs’ choice of strategy!

It was true that the Orcs would probably not be able to defeat the humans. Even with supporting troops by their allies, the Orcs’ chances of winning were slim. However, even if they were disadvantaged at the start, they could at least opt to leave the Main Plane and find another vast, empty world to rest and recuperate. The human gods would definitely not take on multiple risks just to chase them beyond the Main Plane even if they wanted the Orcs dead.

This meant that this battle was just to determine the winner and loser, and not really about who lived and who died.

This was the exact reason why the gods which were watching the battle all predicted that the Orcs would lose.

Not only were they already disadvantaged, but there was also another path out the Main Plane ready for them when they lost.

If the Orc God System was really out of options and had nowhere to escape to and could only choose between the battle and being massacred, well, that would cause the outcome of the battle to be much less certain.

However, the Orc gods had now taken on an ultimate stance and had committed to the idea of fighting a life or death battle with the humans, using what was usually the final move in a war of gods as their first move!

Watching as the Orc God System’s God Kingdom moved towards the Human God System’s God Kingdom in an unhurried fashion, with many gods surrounding it as if they were about to fight the war of gods in the traditional way, any fool could tell that the Orcs had well discussed this beforehand and were prepared for this unique strategy.

One could also say that the Orcs had never intended to fight a long-drawn war with the humans and had wanted to just use an ultimate move to determine who lived and who perished straightaway.

They did not care about who perished or whether the Orcs and humans would perish together. Anyways, they preferred either of the aforementioned options to retreat without even battling, anyway.

Just at the very moment while the gods were exclaiming in shock, the Orc God System’s God Kingdom, the Endless Field, had already solidly knocked against the Human God System’s God Kingdom, Light Field.

In that moment, the entire Void shook.

This scene was hard to describe and many gods were affected by the shockwaves following the collision of the two God Kingdoms, leading to them falling into a temporary coma. Several of the weaker gods were directly swept off their feet by the shockwaves and their bodies disintegrated into tiny pieces as they shouted out in fear. Even powerful gods such as Sui Xiong, Yorgaardman and Wenner’s bodies were picked up and flung by the shockwaves even if they did not turn dizzy. Whichever unlucky planet or world that were in the path of these powerful gods all exploded into a million pieces with a loud bang as the gods swept past them.

Sui Xiong managed to destroy tens of planets and worlds at one go before he regained full consciousness. He immediately activated his Divine Power and allowed his body to heal and stabilize itself.

He glanced around meaningfully and could not help but sigh, “It’s lucky that all the living creatures of the worlds I destroyed have already moved away…”

As he mentioned, the main areas impacted by the collision of the two God Kingdoms was already long vacated by other living creatures and all that was left was currents of turbulence. Outside of the turbulence, all other worlds were already exploded into smithereens and endless meteorites were flying around. The closer an area was to the turbulence, the blurrier everything was, making it hard to see anything.

Within the currents of turbulence, there was a beam of blinding white light.

Those rays were the remains of this world’s strongest two God Kingdoms, which had collided and exploded.

“Lefon, this fool… Wenner, another fool…”

Sui Xiong muttered to himself angrily but did not know what else to say. As he had predicted, after predicting that the Orcs would definitely lose the battle with the humans, the God of War, Wenner, had reached out to the Master God of the Orc God System, Lefon, and suggested that he could directly use the collision strategy and allow both sides to perish together. It was strange, though, that Lefon had chosen to take up this very strategy when he had had the option to retreat and simply leave the Main Plane. What Lefon had done was crazy and ridiculous!

They had successfully managed to hide this from everyone, including the Human God System.

From the remaining rays which were glistening, it was evident that there were several gods who had met their downfall with the collision of the two God Kingdoms! Furthermore, the humans’ few Divine Powers had all been on their God Kingdom at the time of the collision. They had not prepared for the collision and would definitely have sustained severe injuries when it had happened. This was especially so for the Master God of the Human God System, the God of Light, Wuther Rang, as the God Kingdom was basically his main body and the destruction of the humans’ God Kingdom due to the collision with the Orcs’ God Kingdom meant that his injuries were definitely numerous and serious. After all, Light Field had exploded into a gleaming light ball along with the Endless Field!

In comparison, the Orcs had already been prepared for this moment. Although they did not escape unscathed, they were at least more aware of the situation. At the very least, they had successfully prevented the humans from having a victory and they were now at the same level of mess.

This battle, which originally was meant to determine a victor, was now messy and bewildering. Sui Xiong felt that even the God of War, Wenner, would no longer be able to predict the outcome of it all. It was not impossible for the human gods to still attain victory but even if they did, with the tremendous amount of casualties, they would no longer be able to maintain solo control over the Main Plane.

It was also possible for the Orcs to become the victors. However, they had also lost much of their power and were unable to uphold their glorious status of the past any further. It was even possible that they would be reduced from being a big god system to a medium one.

“Somehow, my gut feeling that the humans were in trouble really became reality…” Sui Xiong glanced anxiously at the glowing light ball and muttered to himself under his breath. “It seems like even the God of Light was unable to stop fate in its tracks…”
