Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2001 - 1071: Three Emperors Assemble (Part 3)

"I am well aware of your implications. Truthfully, suspicion exists among the Divine Kings, though they have yet to openly clash."

The Demon Emperor understands that this location is suboptimal for battle. Theoretically, Taichu and the Explaner—both masterful at deduction and searching souls—should not have blundered into such a tactical error.

It appears to be a minor, unintended oversight, yet such a mistake should be impossible for beings of their caliber!

Conceptual Gods function as extensions of the World Will’s might. To lose one is a harsh blow to that willpower, particularly with top-tier entities. Such draining consumption could require aeons for the World Will to fully recover!

If not for the meteoric expansion of the Dark Heavenly Court, they would not be forced into such desperate gambles.

The World Will consented to the demands of the Eight Kings Council only after meticulously weighing the consequences.

Nevertheless, their current predicament is undeniably disadvantageous.

If the stakes went deeper, the God of Wealth would likely have withheld his descent; conversely, if the foe were too powerful, they would not be clamoring for reinforcements.

Trapped in this precarious state, the veteran Divine Kings identify the fractures immediately!

These Divine Kings possess minds unclouded by Abyss Pollution, and they are fully capable of calculating the risks and rewards.

Even so, the momentum of Tao Yu and the Demon Emperor remained unbroken. Through the projection link of the All Gods Temple, their allies were already rushing to assist!

The conflict has transcended simple conspiracies or moral definitions of right and wrong.

Grand plans are rarely perfect, nor focused solely on immediate gain or loss. Once a path is chosen, one must see it through with absolute resolve.

Often, a path may seem treacherous or misguided, yet can be cleared through sheer, unyielding effort.

Conversely, even the most logical strategy can crumble if the group is fractured from within.

Now that the objectives are laid bare, concentrating their strength is the only priority.

"Moreover, even if Emperor Cang has allies, they are at most on par with our collective. If we gather our strength, we still hold a fighting chance. Besides, I suspect more than one Divine King would be delighted to see the World Will weakened..."

The World Will has become too formidable; if these four elite Conceptual Gods suffer catastrophic losses today, it would be a spectacle many a Divine King would relish!

"Such simple maneuvers are laden with layers of deceit; truly, the World Will’s power is ill-suited for the Divine Kings to wield..."

Much like the Fire Lord who recoiled at the suggestion of danger, the rest of the Divine Kings act with similar self-interest.

With these grim reflections, Tao Yu and the Demon Emperor became acutely aware of the violent shockwaves ahead. Even within the volatile Chaotic Void, the pressure was world-shattering!

In a fleeting moment, countless realms were pulverized, and the inhabitants within were struck into nothingness, erased from the annals of existence without a murmur.

Tao Yu detected a massive density of Yuan Force. It seemed as though the God of Wealth were treating his reserves like common currency.

Despite this, due to the environmental constraints and the persistent support from Taichu and the Explaner, they remained on the back foot, underscored by the maddened, defiant echoes of Emperor Cang’s divine sense.

"Having encountered this Emperor, why do you not prostrate yourselves?"

"To face the Emperor without bowing is to forfeit your very destiny!"

"Step by step, you kneel simply to gaze upon this Emperor!"

"Great treason! Great treason! Hahaha!"

The chaotic divine sense felt infectious, even inciting nausea in the Divine Kings.

"The Demon Lord and Heavenly Pillar have arrived to stabilize the front."

Upon their arrival, the Demon Emperor announced their presence.

They bore witness to a gargantuan Titan rupturing the chaos, unleashing a strike that threatened to sunder the world, aimed directly at Emperor Cang!

Taichu and the Explaner provided battlefield enhancements, allowing the God of Wealth to lead the response, while the Heaven Pillar God King met Emperor Cang head-on, absorbing a direct blow and retreating a mere half-step!

Caught under this catastrophic strike, Emperor Cang paused, providing the God of Wealth the opening to lash out with a torrent of Yuan Force, tearing at his form.

Yet, within seconds, Emperor Cang’s physical manifestation coalesced once more.

"This Emperor dominates the ancient and modern ages! Invincible above and below! I hunger for the taste of defeat in vain! You truly believe you can oppose me?"

The combined offensive from the Heaven Pillar God King and the God of Wealth seemed to clarify Emperor Cang’s mind; while his arrogance remained, the frenzied incoherence within his divine sense dampened.

Following this, the Demon Lord tapped into the 'God of Life,' summoning a tide of divine radiance. Simultaneously, the Demon Emperor triggered the 'God of Luck' token, sending raw power from the Current World to tear through eternity.

Three lead Conceptual Gods were now fully engaged.

With six Divine Kings and three top-tier Conceptual Gods, this terrifying convergence of force completely encircled Emperor Cang.

"He is deeply ensnared by corruption and pollution. Added to his own cultivation, he will be a challenge to annihilate. We must be prepared for a grueling process," the Explaner noted calmly.

"Ensnared? Pollution? The Emperor is sovereign. Even as the heavens fall and all creation withers, my form will endure for eternity. To speak of corruption? I shall refine these 'demons' into my own power!"

As he spoke, his imperial form began to distort, pulsating and deforming.

Gaping cracks opened across his body, with countless eyes sprouting from the wounds. The surging, violent aura forced him to unleash a roar that shook the very foundations of the cosmos!

"How much has he devoured... you beast!"

Tao Yu glared at the abnormalities of Emperor Cang, his irritation tempered only by the sensation of hidden observers watching them from the shadows.

Based on the current situation, the other Seven Great Divine Kings were clearly harboring their own agendas, and aside from a few with questionable morals, the line between right and wrong was blurred.

"Is this the pinnacle of your Mystic Realm’s power? Utterly pathetic!"

Suddenly, a frigid snort pierced the air.

The newly manifested 'God of Luck' seemed to sense a shift. His form, a construct of pure Yuan Force, raised a hand to snatch threads of causal Qi Fortune from the air, causing them to collide and vanish.

The previous vocal intrusion had been a sophisticated causal strike, meant to ensnare all present into a web of misfortune.

However, the 'God of Luck' was equally adept in such arts, countering the manipulation with a single gesture.

"Impressive technique."

A new figure emerged from the void, maneuvering to form a pincer with Emperor Cang.

"Another one. The Dark Heavenly Court is truly rife with hidden dangers. May I ask your name?"

The massive entity known as the Heaven Pillar God King projected his voice with overwhelming force.

He was the only participant capable of standing toe-to-toe with Emperor Cang, yet he possessed the least mobility.

Other Divine Kings might be defeated but could escape at a steep cost; the Heaven Pillar God King, however, could inflict lasting damage but lacked the means to retreat. This was precisely why he stood firmly with the Conceptual Gods.

"You possess sufficient strength to learn my title; I am Emperor Hong!"

Emperor Hong appeared much more composed than Cang, displaying an expert command over causality.

Moments later, pressure even more ominous than that of Cang and Hong manifested from another direction, completing a triangular pincer.

A figure stood proud, gripping a blood-stained spear.

"My title is Emperor Yu..."

The blood on the spear had dried long ago, yet the sheer, lingering malice within that gore was terrifying.

It was the essence blood of a fallen, top-tier entity—an individual no weaker than a Divine King! This implied that Emperor Yu had personally executed beings of that stature.

Cang, Hong, and Yu—the three emperors had assembled. Given that Emperor Yu still retained his sanity, their situation had just taken a disastrous turn.

Looking at the composed state of Hong and Yu, it was clear they hadn't been lured here; they were waiting.

The line between the hunter and the prey had suddenly become dangerously thin...
