Cthulhu Gonfalon

The Orc God System joined hands with three great Divine Powers. Even if they had to sacrifice themselves, they had to strike the God of Light, Wuther, with a heavy blow.

However, they failed.

There was no suspense in the way they lost, not even the slightest chance of success was visible.

This scene greatly shocked the Orc gods. On the other hand, there was a great boost to the morale of the human gods. Everyone was practically burning with vigorous fighting spirit.

“Your Majesty! Leave the following battle to us!” the God of Heroes shouted as he charged forward. “These Orcs are completely useless. They are vulnerable to our hits and are simply not worthy for you to strike them!”

“Yes. Just us alone is enough,” said the God of Protection as he caught up with the rest. He was skilled in defense, while the God of Heroes was skilled in attack. With the two of them joining hands, the few remaining great Divine Powers might not necessarily be able to defeat them.

Most importantly, the enemies were utterly demoralized by the God of Light. It was impossible for them to find the courage to fight the human gods and bring this battle to an end.

They were all experienced fighters on the battlefields, veterans who had started out as humans and fought their way to becoming great Divine Powers. Given such a situation, if they were still unable to win, then they would be better off retiring from the battlefield to return home and spend their years in old age!

This was the truth that both sides actually understood. But the Orc gods still wanted to take a chance and hoped to outdo the humans by huddling together—no matter what, the advantage they had in population size was still quite a courage booster.

The regrettable thing was that having more people did not guarantee that they could outdo the humans with sheer numbers. Even in the world where Sui Xiong was before he traversed worlds, it was impossible for the most remarkable warriors to defeat a group of elite soldiers, let alone in this world with people of top-rated martial skills who were so powerful. There were many examples of events where a small group of people managed to defeat a great army of soldiers—Sui Xiong previously participated in the production process of a card game. There was a certain game that enumerated a group of valiant warriors with such military exploits. There was even that kind of scenario where a monstrous existence had exerted such an impact over a great army and made the enemies retreat, or even to the extent of retreating to escape for life.

There was no doubt that the God of Light was such a monster. And he belonged to the super-evolved species among such monsters. So long as he was around, the Orcs would have no chance of victory at all.

Earlier on where the three great Divine Powers joined hands in battle, it was really nothing more than making a final struggle.

Now, even this final struggle had failed. Then the outcome of this war was determined.

Just as the onlookers had expected, even if the God of Light had not struck again, the battle would soon head in a direction that was very favorable to the human gods.

With two great Divine Powers, the God of Heroes, together with the God of Protection, joining hands, they would be invincible before their enemies.

The “Holy Hammer” from the Dwarfs God System, the “Old Sage” from the Pygmy God System, two ancestor Orcs and two other great Divine Powers had once tried to join forces and besiege these two human gods. But they were able to grasp the chance of a temporary gap, and with concerted efforts, they defeated the “Old Sage,” who the God of Light had recently beheaded. This was followed by the defeat of the other two gods who just stepped up to the level of great Divine Power. They turned the tables and changed the fighting ratio from six to two, into a situation where the fighting ratio was three to two.

Then, in the battle of three to two, they launched an aggressive attack against the “Holy Hammer” and went head-on and fought in a diamond-cut-diamond battle against the other two ancestor Orcs. In one breath, they dealt almost a hundred hits. Finally, the two ancestor Orcs, who were already injured by the God of Light, caved into their injuries that hit them with full blast and were beaten to death. The “Holy Hammer” also had its clone destroyed by them as they turned back to deal with it. It could only retreat dejectedly.

The battle between the great Divine Powers was over, so naturally, nothing more need be said for the remaining ranks. This final battle did not take long, from the start to the end, it took no more than an hour. The final outcome was a complete rout of the Orcs, with only a few who managed to escape with the help of their allies. Other than that, the entire God System was practically wiped out. And their allies also suffered heavy losses. The clones of those who were of mid-level Divine Powers and above were all blown up, without any exception.

Finally, only the human gods remained standing amidst the void space to celebrate their victory.

Sui Xiong and company watched everything quietly. It was only after the human gods were done with their celebrations that Sui Xiong went over to them to ask them what they intended to do next.

“Nothing much. No matter what, we shall have to win the battle on Earth before anything else,” the God of Light still replied as such.

Sui Xiong frowned inwardly but did not ask any further.

In this world, the outcome of the war of gods usually directly determined the war situation on Earth. The Orcs Alliance suffered such a crushing defeat that the entire Orc God System was practically all wiped out. The remaining God Systems also suffered heavy hits. Of course, these would greatly affect the war on Earth.

Firstly, it was the natives of the Marsh. Those with top-rated martial skills were almost completely wiped out in that great explosion. The few remaining Legendary Masters were simply unable to block the aggressive attacks by the troops led by the human Demigod Masters and were subjected to a double-pronged attack by the Commonwealth of Gold Coins and the Duchy of Thunder. The human gods opened a huge Transportation Portal in the Dhaka Association and transported a large batch of fresh troops to the southern battlefield. With the support of this batch of troops, the original state of the impasse was quickly broken. The natives of the Marsh were left with no other choice but to take off their balaclavas, abandon their armor and retreat.

If it were not for the fact that the humans were really unaccustomed to the terrain of the Marsh, perhaps this war would have ended long ago. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

What followed next was the war involving the Duchy of Griffon. The pygmies and underground races might have gained the upper-hand, but they actually intended to retreat quite some time ago. Earlier on, they had built fortresses in a most indiscriminate manner, which in fact was just their way of covering up their true intentions. It was only when the humans launched a counter-attack from the Kingdom of the Blue Moon did they come to realize that the pygmies and underground races had almost withdrawn their entire communities. The only ones left were the old, ailing and weak, who were willing to stay and sacrifice themselves.

The war over at the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs was much more intense. The dwarfs and elves had top-rated martial skills, so they did not have much to lose. With the human gods being unable to mass-send their clones down to Earth, nor were they able to send enough Demigod Masters to dominate control of the situation, both sides were still at an impasse. But everyone knew that the dwarfs and elves were bound to be the defeated ones.

Over at the Mifata Federation, it was one of the few battlefields where the humans were considered to be on the losing end. It was mainly because the mages were unwilling to take the gamble with human lives at stake, even though they were already in a sure-win situation. They preferred to pick on the murlocs in a slow and steady manner. Anyway, it was nothing more than using magic in exchange for the humans’ heads. When it was the murlocs’ turn to lose stamina, this war finally.

It was interesting to say that, in this war, the murlocs had summoned six Lords of the Abyss all in all. Unfortunately, none of the six demons had had a good ending. They were either beaten up to such an extent where they had thrown off their balaclavas, abandoned their armors and retreated in a sorry state, or their clones were beheaded. There was even more than one who had been sacrificed by the murlocs, who had relied on the use of the large arrays that were already set in place. Thus, they had become the nutrients for the two magical objects that would be used to elevate the murloc race.

And the most attention-grabbing battle was of course, none other than the battle between the humans and the Orcs.

This was a real battle in its true sense. Adding up the total on the battlefronts of both sides, that was, on the great battlefront at the western defense line of the Great Wall of the Kingdom of Light, as well as on the great battlefront of the northern fortress group of the Kingdom of Eagle, there were at least a million people from both sides fighting each other at the moment.

Meanwhile, the demigods on both sides, who had been conserving their energy all this time, also participated in the battle. The Orc demigods were very brave and at one point in time, they managed to attack the human demigods into retreating. But just as quickly, the human demigods also gained sufficient Divine Power from the gods and successfully managed to turn the tables on the Orc demigods.

In the end, nearly half of the Orc demigods were killed. The great army completely collapsed after the human demigods stepped into the war against the humans. The human army pursued the Orcs for more than 200 miles, killing as they advanced. Blood stained the earth red, and dead bodies were strewn everywhere.

Standing amidst the sky above the tragic battlefield, Sui Xiong looked at the tragic scene beneath his feet and sighed deeply.

“No matter what, this war that involved practically every race on the Main Plane, is finally coming to an end. Let’s hope that after this war, there will be a longer and more lasting period of peace...”
