Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 642 -642-The Encircled Beastbound Warrior
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
The consolidated powers initiated their deliberations.
They brought the War Council Hall to life, a structure that had remained dormant since the epic clash between the Chaos Source and the Primordial Ancients.
A coalition of hundreds of preeminent factions, including the Celestian, Beaststar Sylvan, Council of Kunkar, and the Oblivion Sanctum, acted as joint presiding authorities of this assembly.
Their singular focus was unmistakable: the one hundred million Beastbound Warrior who had successfully infiltrated the island!
Dong—!
Abruptly, the Starlight Clock emitted another deep, jarring toll!
From the tumultuous, shadow-wreathed depths of Endless Starlight Isle, the Fate River manifested.
The primordial energies radiating from the Arcane Godsea pulsed in harmony with billions of star domains, causing the entirety of the firmament to tremble violently.
A mysterious, ethereal aura began to diffuse, eventually coalescing into a mist of light reminiscent of the coming dawn. It stretched across sacred temples, sanctuaries, and scattered star systems like an aurora shaped by divine artistry.
"Endless Starlight Shield!"
Deep within the chaotic reaches of the star realms, the Chaos Titan, Amethyst King, observed these developments. His violet eyes glowed with an intense, searing radiance.
"The Endless Starlight Shield has been triggered!"
Beings scattered across Endless Starlight Isle erupted in mixed cries of awe and terror.
"Phew—"
The Rock Mountain Sage Rank and Red Moon Priests exhaled a long-held breath.
Security, at long last, was firmly established!
The next phase involved a direct confrontation with the Crossbridge Divine Court.
...
Residing in the vast, turbulent sea situated between the Standarin Universe and Endless Starlight Isle,
Cursefont Star God and his advancing legions ground to a halt, detecting something truly extraordinary.
Deep in the heart of the Standarin Universe, Aurek narrowed his eyes in a thoughtful frown.
Roar—!
A Divine Court dragon soared toward the heavens, its golden scales casting a brilliance that turned the Star Sea as bright as midday.
"Broadcast my command! Summon the Crusader Goddess, the Eternal Sunfire War God...!"
A Sacred Envoy Rank instantly shot forward to carry out the decree.
Imperial authority rippled through the Standarin Universe in a mere heartbeat. Words of golden light pierced through star systems, echoing like thunder across the eternal Star Sea.
The Crusader Goddess Venus, the Eternal Apollo Sunblaze, Alvin, the Dragon Emperor, and other mighty figures felt their consciousness shudder.
Without a moment of hesitation, generals opened Star-Realm Gates and rushed to return to the Standarin Universe, where they gathered in silent, respectful waiting outside the Sword Sea Sanctum.
Aurek stood with his hands locked behind his back, his expression cold and stern.
"Strange anomalies have surfaced across the Star Sea. Venus and Apollo, mobilize ten billion from the Supreme Sage Rank immediately to reinforce the front."
Venus questioned with a frown, "Your Majesty? Are you witnessing disturbances at the Celestial Light God Realm?"
Aurek offered a slight, knowing nod.
"There exists an entity beyond the quasi-Eternal Sage Rank posing a threat to the sanctum. The Divine Court Dragon has already been summoned to face it."
Aurek held dominion over Fate, Luck, and Imperial Power.
Both Luck and Imperial Power were anchored to the foundation of the Crossbridge Divine Court.
The collective fortune of the Divine Court funneled into the Supreme Sanctuary, manifesting the Divine Court Dragon.
This dragon wielded combat prowess matching that of a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank. From the moment of its awakening, Aurek felt its existence intimately.
While the exact catalyst remained a mystery, the activation of the Divine Court Dragon signaled that the adversary was either at least as formidable as a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank, or that some force beyond logic was at play.
This was a development Aurek had not foreseen.
He had previously surveyed the Star Sea; while some Supreme Sage Rank entities were lurking in the peripheries, he had dismissed them as inconsequential.
Yet, a being superior to a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank had managed to escape his detection entirely.
Even he had failed to sense it. Such a threat was not easily ignored.
He even pondered if a forbidden entity from the Dark Abyss had surfaced.
Regardless of the motive, since the Divine Court Dragon was already engaged, he was determined to eradicate the threat in its entirety.
In the next breath, Aurek’s mirror projection began its return journey.
...
On the northern borders of Endless Starlight Isle,
Nearly four hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage Rank led a charge of over one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank drawn from every corner of the star domains, forming a tidal wave that eclipsed the sky.
They crashed into the Beastbound Warrior legion, their murderous momentum like a tempest, instantly devouring and shattering vast segments of the enemy forces.
"Retreat!"
The Golden Armor, covertly embedded within Endless Starlight Isle, disseminated orders to the Beastbound Warrior army.
A force of four hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage Rank was already overwhelming enough to decimate the one hundred million Beastbound Warrior, to say nothing of the millions of additional Supreme Sage Rank providing auxiliary support.
Yet, this represented only the vanguard, hastily assembled from the local factions of Endless Starlight Isle.
Every quasi-Eternal Sage Rank commanded a mere ten Supreme Sage Rank.
Upon hearing the command, the Beastbound Warrior shifted into blazing Sun Birds, tearing through space via Star-Realm Gates as they fled.
Others descended like falling stars, scattering across the island to assume the forms of ants, beetles, or other unassuming creatures to vanish quietly into hiding.
Although a number were hunted down by the quasi-Eternal Sage Rank, a significant portion managed to evade capture and regrouped with the Golden Armor.
The majority of the Beastbound Warrior successfully pulled back from Endless Starlight Isle.
At the exact moment of their exodus, the Endless Starlight Shield sealed with a booming rattle, wrapping around the entire Star Sea like a colossal prison.
Cursefont Star God Merxis, Suggwoth, and their respective legions pressed forward toward Endless Starlight Isle, merging with the retreating Beastbound Warrior.
"Do not give chase," declared a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank of the Annihilation Divine Court, raising a hand to stall their advance.
He stood on the threshold of Endless Starlight Isle, peering toward the distant border of chaos with a grim face.
The crushing pressure emanating from that distance struck his chest with the force of a mountain.
He was aware that Aurek’s legion of ten billion Supreme Sage Rank had arrived.
A reckless attack before properly preparing would surely lead to total ruin.
Nevertheless, the four hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage Rank and the hundreds of millions of Supreme Sage Rank stood their ground.
They occupied the perimeter of the Endless Starlight Shield, waiting for the forces on the inside to coordinate sufficiently to dismantle the Crossbridge Divine Court.
...
At the boundary of the chaotic sea,
Merxis, Suggwoth, and the others perceived the immense aura radiating from Endless Starlight Isle.
It felt like a slumbering titan—once fully roused, it would surely shatter the very foundations of the sky.
They recognized that such power must be handled with extreme caution.
"What is the status within?" Suggwoth inquired.
A Beastbound Warrior stepped forward, delivering his report:
"All factions within Endless Starlight Isle have been mobilized, and the Endless Starlight Shield is now active."
"The recent clash involved several hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage Rank and roughly one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank. According to the Golden Armor, this is merely the surface of their strength. The Golden Armor has kept forces inside to watch for any openings."
Eighty million Beastbound Warrior had successfully evacuated.
Twenty million remained inside; a portion had been killed, while others had successfully slipped into concealment.
With the Endless Starlight Shield now protecting the isle, it was imperative that some remain to gather intelligence.
The Golden Armor, currently positioned within, required their continued coordination.
They had initially underestimated the strength and speed of Endless Starlight Isle, specifically the effectiveness of their shield and unified military structure.
While Suggwoth had come prepared, he had not expected that this isle, comprising billions of star domains, functioned as a cohesive unit rather than as fragmented parts.
Standard, gradual attrition strategies would likely prove fruitless.
"Report this to His Majesty immediately. Afterward, we shall test the durability of the Endless Starlight Shield and devise a proper tactical assault," Alvin proposed.
Suggwoth shared this sentiment. He was no stranger to battle, but he refused to waste his resources on a fruitless fight.
"War Bear, take ten billion troops and execute a small-scale probe, targeting the Endless Starlight Shield," Suggwoth commanded.
"Understood!"
War Bear bowed as he accepted the command.
