A massive army of hundreds of thousands of demons advanced in the Wasteland of Despair.
Such a large scale caused great panic among the indigenous people of the Wasteland of Despair, making them think that the demons had given up on the bl**d War and were now planning to conquer this plane.
Fortunately, these demons did not attack the natives; they merely continued to march forward, gradually approaching the location of the bl**d River.
Due to the overwhelming number of the demon army, it was almost impossible to keep their actions a secret once they officially mobilized. The first to notice the abnormality was the Goddess of Misfortune, Bansaba, whose divine realm was at the Bottomless Abyss’s bl**d Sea, one of the entrances to the bl**d River of Despair and Destruction. When the massive demon army gathered, a divine glow appeared atop the bl**d River, and soon a beautiful woman in a dark red robe and a veiled face appeared over the river, gazing into the distance at the demon army with her pristine toes, her brow furrowing as if she recalled something.
This was the envoy of the Lady of Misfortune.
She was also the incarnation of the Lady of Misfortune, and everything she saw could be clearly perceived by the Lady as well.
The demon army crossed the bl**d River and soon reached a special entrance.
— “Alter Space [Divine Power]!”
Soren’s divine power spread out, accompanied by the force of slaughter, and a spatial rift appeared before them.
A frightening aura overflowed from the spatial rift, causing many demons to shudder, but immediately the presence of Balroth Fire Demon Lord, Soren, spread out; accompanied by the diffusion of evil energy, he led his army into the Kingdom of Fear.
This was a realm filled with despair and fear.
The distant land was black, as if bl**d had seeped into this world, with even the rivers tinged with red.
The power of the Demon God of Fear inherited from the Tyrant God, Bane, transformed this divine realm from the original Tyrant God’s domain; it enforced a tyrannical regime ruled by fear, where powerful Prayer Weavers acted like vassal lords, cruelly controlling many souls. The demons were also among the inhabitants here, with the Demon God of Fear having a significant number of high-level demons in loyalty to him. They stole souls from other realms, and besides the Prayer Weavers, there were also a large number of souls forced into reincarnation here.
In front of the entrance was a huge fortress.
The Kingdom of Fear was divided into eight territories, each ruled by the right-hand and left-hand pillars of the Demon God of Fear.
Five of the rulers were Prayer Weavers of the Demon God of Fear, while the other three were high-level demons under his control; the fortress before them, known as “Black Fang Fortress”, was the first line of defense of the Kingdom of Fear.
Teams of Prayer Weavers appeared on the walls of the fortress.
The transformed forms of the Prayer Weavers of the Demon God of Fear were Dark Guardians and Lords of Fear; ordinary Prayer Weavers resembled humans, while some were transformed into demonic forms.
Among all the Prayer Weavers, the Lords of Fear were the most difficult to deal with, as they had been Prayer Weavers during the reign of the Tyrant God Bane. The Demon God of Fear inherited this characteristic, and at the highest level in his divine realm, the Lords of Fear were terrifying beings clad in black armor wielding gigantic swords, possessing astonishing combat power while surrounded by an aura of Fear Energy. The core of the entire realm was “Fear”; the Demon God relied on fear to dominate this world, and powerful Prayer Weavers automatically exuded the power of Fear Energy to intimidate and enslave other souls.
“Prepare to attack!”
Balroth Fire Demon Lord Soren gave the order for the attack.
Then, driven by the demon supervisors, hundreds of thousands of Coward Demons were thrust onto the battlefield. Soren expanded the range of the evil energy as much as possible to enhance the combat power and will of the Coward Demons, preventing them from collapsing under the influence of the Fear Energy.
Thousands of Prayer Weavers appeared inside the fortress.
The Demon God of Fear, after all, was one of the ancient deities; though his many enemies had severely depleted his believers, the number of accumulated Prayer Weavers over thousands of years remained substantial.
When the Demon God of Fear died, a portion of the Prayer Weavers also perished, but many survived; at this moment, there were over ten thousand Prayer Weavers blocking the path ahead, led by an Otherworldly Messenger of demigod level. He ruled over hundreds of kilometers of territory in this realm, enslaving thousands of souls to work.
Boom!
A dull explosion sounded.
The first wave of attacking Coward Demons numbered in the tens of thousands, but they collapsed in less than ten minutes. As cannon fodder, they consumed the enemy’s first wave of firepower, and many arrows and spells prevented them from even reaching the walls.
However, the second wave of Coward Demons soon appeared.
This batch of Coward Demons expanded to over thirty thousand, instantly increasing the pressure on the Demon God’s believers, but they dared not allow the Coward Demons to come up, for behind them were mid and high-level demons; if they did not repel these Coward Demons, other demons would quickly take the opportunity to assault the walls.
Second wave, third wave, fourth wave, fifth wave.
Five consecutive waves of over ten thousand attacked, quickly exhausting the enemies within the fortress. The demon army’s sea tactic had always been effective; as long as their numbers had a sufficient advantage, they could often crush the enemy’s defenses.
“Time’s about up.”
Soren looked up at the sky, then his figure rose into the air.
— “Summon the Demon Legion!”
— “Demonic Pact!”
— “Summon Balroth Fire Demon!”
Flames enveloped the surroundings, and Soren rose into the air as a portal opened, summoning a group of mid-level demons, including Temptations and Assassins, while two Balroth Fire Demons also materialized in midair.
As the Balroth Fire Demon Lord, Soren acquired the new ability of “Summon Balroth Fire Demon”!
The appearance of the three Balroth Fire Demons signified the beginning of a full-scale attack, instantly multiplying the pressure on the fortress by several times. Under the frenzied assault of the demon army, the walls swiftly fell on one side.
At the same time, the Otherworldly Messenger controlling this territory began seeking help from elsewhere.
The divine realm is a whole.
When the invasion began, it meant the outbreak of divine warfare; the fortress quickly fell halfway, but hundreds of kilometers away, tens of thousands of demons and Prayer Weavers had already gathered. They rapidly advanced towards the demon army, while some powerful demons and Prayer Weavers activated “Higher Portals.” Accompanied by flashes of teleportation, at least a dozen high-level Prayer Weavers and demons arrived on the battlefield.
Reinforcements from the enemy had arrived.
The offensive of the demon army was instantly curbed, and the numbers of mid and low-level demons decreased at an astonishing rate.
The entire wall resembled a bloody meat grinder, with over ten thousand corpses piled up in a short time. The enemy reinforcements continued to arrive on the battlefield, and as a Holy Spirit Priest activated a portal, a squad of fully armored Dark Guardians teleported from a castle over a thousand kilometers away in the northwest of the divine realm.
Dark Guardians.
The main force of the Demon God of Fear’s divine realm, they were core members participating in the divine war, all powerful professionals in their past lives.
The advantage of the demon army began to reverse.
Many of the mid and high-level demons felt anxious, some even considering retreat, but a smile appeared on Soren’s face.
………………
Wasteland of Despair.
About fifty kilometers away from the coordinates where the demon army entered, heavy Golem Puppets were advancing, breaking through space with a powerful divine force. The space connected to the Kingdom of Fear was directly torn apart, and then a rift opened at the edge of the divine realm.
The divine realm is dependent on the plane.
This characteristic meant that the divine realm did not have only one entrance!
“Activate combat orders!”
“Golem Legion activated! Combat mode initiated!… Defensive orders activated!… Cooperative operation orders activated!…”
“Golem Legion, advance!!!”
At the moment the spatial rift opened, hundreds of Clay Golems entered this land of black soil, quickly slaughtering all the Prayer Weavers that appeared before them.
This was a small gathering point.
It seemed to be the size of a village; the Prayer Weavers needed to develop resources within the divine realm, so outside the core temple area, there were many villages, towns, and mines that required arrangements for Prayer Weavers. The Demon God of Fear used enslavement to control the divine realm, and the ruler of this land was a high-level Dark Guardian.
At this moment, he was surrounded by several dozen Golem Puppets.
“Eliminate all enemies!”
“Targeting the [Throne of Fear] coordinates!… Golem Legion, commence advance!… ”
Under the cold command, the eyes of the Golem Legion lit up with a bl**d-red glow. This massive Golem Legion did not go to support the demon army but instead cleared all enemies in their path and then began advancing straight towards the Throne of Fear.
Clay Golems led the way, Stone Golems followed closely, while Iron Golems served as the main force to provide support at any moment.
The Golem Legion advanced like a sharp blade, covering over a hundred kilometers within just hours, obliterating three defensive fortresses. At this point, the enemies who had gone to the front lines to support against the demon army noticed that the attackers on the divine realm were not just one force; another Golem Legion was swiftly entering the heart of the divine realm, with the goal set on the Throne of Fear!
However, at this time, they found it very difficult to return for support.
The demon army successfully detained them, with at least tens of thousands of Prayer Weavers trapped near Black Fang Fortress, and only a few legendary Prayer Weavers managed to leave the battlefield.
However,
this was just the beginning.
As the Golem Legion successfully penetrated and drew the enemy’s firepower, an army of tens of thousands of Prayer Weavers invaded this domain. Unlike other armies, they infiltrated the Dark Forest and swiftly bypassed the fortress ahead, approaching the peak of the Throne of Fear from the side.
That was a towering mountain peak.
And the throne sealing the soul of the Demon God of Fear was established above the clouds!
Soren’s objective is the Throne of Fear; as long as it is destroyed, the outcome will be revealed. Competing for attrition against these Prayer Weavers holds no meaning. After Vivian took over the divine profession of Fear, these Prayer Weavers only had the choice to swear loyalty or d*e.
His goal is to destroy the Throne of Fear, not to occupy the entire divine realm.
As long as the Throne of Fear is destroyed, everything will end.
…………… (To be continued ~^~)
