Chapter 488: Chapter488-A Legion That Represents Slaughter and Bloodshed
“Kill!”
Ares swung the God of War’s Axe.
At the same time, the Divine Oracle of the SpiritSong Kingdom stepped out of the void and charged straight toward the Divine Oracle of the Litaran Empire.
The laws of both sides collided violently, each firmly locking the other in place.
Ares unleashed his Immortal Divine Body. His colossal form spanned heaven and earth as the war axe, wrapped in the Law of Power, cleaved savagely toward the dozens of Sacred Radiance–rank experts of the Litaran Empire!
Crack—!
Splat!
Aah—!
The sound of bodies being split apart by the axe blade mixed with screams of agony.
When Ares struck, he did not even need assistance from the Sacred Radiance experts of the SpiritSong Kingdom. More than twenty Sacred Radiance–rank powerhouses were cut down one after another, transformed directly into energy for his advancement.
The brutality of his methods and the terrifying speed of his slaughter left everyone in the Litaran Empire—including the two Divine Oracles—momentarily stunned.
Yet this was merely an appetizer!
Ten million God King–rank soldiers launched their assault simultaneously.
Void warlocks sealed the space itself, while Soul Warlocks unleashed devastating mind-power piercings.
In only a brief moment, the Litaran Empire’s army—so imposing and murderous just moments before—was completely annihilated!
Too fast!
So fast that the Emperor of the Huenra Empire, the Patriarch of the Orel Forest Clan, the Emperor of the Dochena Empire, the Lord of the Chehana Forest, and other onlookers all felt an unreal sense of disbelief.
Was this even a war?
It was more like a powerfully built giant smashing a newborn infant’s head with a single punch.
This was a quasi–Divine Empire–level force!
In the blink of an eye, only two Divine Oracles remained, fighting on alone.
Everyone else had already reached their end.
It was as if something had happened—yet also as if nothing had happened at all.
…
Litaran Empire.
Several figures rushed into the palace courtyard.
Claren stood atop the high steps, his fists clenched so tightly they crackled.
“The imperial army has been completely wiped out!”
“We only have two Divine Oracles left, still fighting desperately!”
The messengers reported in haste.
Claren did not listen to their nonsense.
He had seen everything on the battlefield clearly.
He had not underestimated the Crossbridge Empire—
He had overestimated the Litaran Empire!
He had never imagined that his army and foundation could be so utterly fragile.
Without Divine Oracles holding the line, they could not even hold out for a moment!
But where could the Litaran Empire possibly conjure enough Divine Oracles to deal with those terrifying warriors?
Cold sweat seeped from his temples.
“Send word to Olympian God Mountain!”
Claren issued the order.
His confidants looked at him hesitantly.
“Go—NOW!!”
Claren roared hysterically, startling them into tearing open space and fleeing at once.
Claren himself stood rigidly before the palace, unmoving.
He suppressed the dread and fear in his heart and waited for the reinforcements from Olympian God Mountain.
This was a promise God Mountain had made!
…
On the battlefield, the forces of the Litaran Empire were swiftly eradicated.
Ares joined forces with the Divine Oracle of the SpiritSong Kingdom and together finished off the two remaining Divine Oracles of the Litaran Empire.
The energy he had absorbed in the previous battles had already pushed Ares to the level of a quasi–Divine Oracle.
His combat power was now sufficient to slay a true Divine Oracle!
The God of War’s Axe split heaven and earth, carrying incomparably pure Law of Power.
Before such absolute power, any divine art—or even other laws—appeared incomparably fragile.
Axe after axe descended.
Not only did the two Divine Oracles of the Litaran Empire tremble in terror, even the allied Divine Oracle fighting alongside Ares felt his heart shake.
In terms of raw combat strength, Ares was truly horrifying.
The gap between a quasi–Divine Oracle and a Divine Oracle was like an unbridgeable chasm. Without an Artifact of Authority or overwhelming law suppression, crossing it was nearly impossible.
Yet Ares not only confronted them head-on—he possessed the might to slay them outright!
Meanwhile, Tina had already led the army straight toward the capital of the Litaran Empire.
“The Litaran Empire… is finished.”
The Emperor of the Huenra Empire foresaw the outcome at a glance.
What worried him more, however, was whether the Crossbridge Empire would seize the momentum and occupy the entire Chaotic Realm.
If that happened, powers like the Huenra Empire would inevitably come into conflict with the Crossbridge Empire.
And they…
Could they withstand this kind of crushing force?
The answer was no.
…
Before the imperial palace of the Litaran Empire.
Claren’s face was as dark as iron.
The ministers were running about like ants on a hot pan as the entire empire descended into chaos.
The furious curses of the populace echoed endlessly, filling Claren with both rage and fear—yet he dared not argue back.
That heart which once believed it would never regret its decision was now beginning to waver.
Just then—
Above the skies of the Litaran Empire, a vast vortex of void suddenly appeared.
Countless powerful legions surged out from within.
It was the army of Olympian God Mountain!
“They’re here!”
At the sight of this, Claren’s tightly clenched fists abruptly relaxed.
The fear and anger on his face were instantly replaced by joy and exhilaration.
The reinforcements from Olympian God Mountain had arrived just in time!
A Sage King powerhouse tore through space and reported to Claren.
“Your Majesty Claren, Her Highness the Empress Consort asked me to pass on a message.”
“The God Mountain Imperial Guard… is about to mobilize!”
“What?!”
Claren’s eyes flew wide open as his heart churned violently.
The God Mountain Imperial Guard!
That invincible legion was going to move!
Hahaha!
He laughed madly in his heart.
At this moment, everything had been worth it!
As for regret?
Claren knew that the ones who would regret this… would be the Crossbridge Empire!
As long as they drove the Crossbridge Empire out of the Chaotic Realm, the Litaran Empire would obtain a promise of three interventions from the God Mountain Imperial Guard.
How could he regret that?
…
“Have you heard? The God Mountain Imperial Guard is going to mobilize!”
“His Majesty announced it personally today! God Mountain’s strongest legion is ready to deal with the Crossbridge Empire!”
“That’s great! Hahaha—finally we can wash away our humiliation!”
“News just came from the Starlight Colonnade—the Imperial Guard has been waging slaughter across the star sea. Even Divine Empire–level worlds have been completely exterminated!”
“Once that force is unleashed, the Crossbridge Empire will be pressed into the dirt and ground down, forced to submit!”
“I have a feeling what comes next will be a bloodbath. The Crossbridge Empire and even the Eura Continent may be slaughtered to extinction…”
The citizens of the royal capital were well informed, and upon learning the news, they erupted into frenzy.
At the same time—
One terrifying Divine Oracle after another soared into the sky from the royal capital, triggering waves of shock.
The Ministry of War had already produced its battle plan today, and these powerhouses were the elites being dispatched to all fronts.
War legions stationed across the provinces also began assembling toward the north.
The vast, boundless territory of Olympian God Mountain was thrown into a state of boiling excitement!
…
Two days later.
Above the skies of Olympian God Mountain, a mysterious boundary gate burst open, connecting the Starlight Colonnade to the ancient star-sea road.
A tide of blood-soaked, ferocious aura surged outward, plunging the heavens into sudden darkness and instilling instinctive dread and icy fear into all living beings.
Experts from God Mountain, the Sanctified Heart Garden, the Stone Sea, the Thousandblade Spire, and other factions all rose into the air, their gazes fixed on the gate.
Within the Chaotic Realm, Claren watched in eager anticipation, his mind power extending across heaven and earth.
Even spectators such as Dioke, Bumet, Nalodebi, and the Lord of Chaos City turned their attention to the gate in the sky.
“Has the God Mountain Imperial Guard… returned?!”
One taboo-level existence after another awakened from slumber, staring toward the heavens.
Peerless powerhouses from the Starlight Colonnade and the Devers Divine Empire also cast their gazes over.
“After fighting and slaughtering in the star sea for hundreds of thousands of years… I wonder how far they’ve grown.”
Sherana and Lora, who had already entered Olympian God Mountain, also looked toward the gate.
They were quite familiar with the God Mountain Imperial Guard.
When the Eternal Winter Divine Empire had fallen into civil war, this very army had once been deployed.
Moreover, the Eternal Winter Divine Empire possessed a core legion of equal status—the Ice-Snow Imperial Guard—which even the Empress herself could not mobilize without approval from the Imperial Council.
Could the Crossbridge Empire withstand them?
She harbored deep doubts.
