Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 653 -653-Sending His Majesty Aurek to His Doom?
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
Three more days had elapsed!
Chaos had completely engulfed the outer fringes of the Standarin Universe.
Deep inside the Standarin Universe, the Divine Court’s army exceeding ten billion Supreme Sage-ranks had already suffered losses surpassing two billion.
The endless Starlight Isle had also lost more than two billion Supreme Sage-ranks, with even hundreds of thousands of its quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks falling.
The toll on both sides was nothing short of devastating.
However—
Artharion and his companions had at last shattered layer upon layer of defenses, approaching the Blade Sea Sanctum.
Right now, all quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks were exerting their utmost to block the Crossbridge Divine Court’s armies, granting precious time to Artharion and the rest.
Rumble—!
The Lord of Fate was the first to plunge into the Sea of Chaos beyond the Blade Sea Sanctum.
His mental perception instantly detected Aurek’s aura.
Artharion, the God of Ancient Secrets, the guild president, the Primeval Sage, the Frost Emperor, the Guide, the Flame Lord, the Lord of Oblivion, and the remaining powerhouses trailed right after, closing in one by one.
Behind them, hundreds of thousands of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks focused intently on locking down Aurek!
They were all acutely aware of Aurek’s profound terror, and dread filled every heart.
Thus, even facing just Aurek, they required hundreds of thousands of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks to muster the confidence for taking him down.
Suggwoth and his allies had detected the turmoil in the Standarin Universe too, racing back at full speed.
"Finally... with the war dragged out to this extent, they’ve broken through at last!"
The two quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and various Sage-ranks from the Sanctuary of Rebirth noticed it as well.
"The Crossbridge Divine Court’s forces are pulling back to the Standarin Universe. Artharion and company must have pierced the lines—they now pose a real danger to Aurek."
The Rockmount Sage-rank observed the battlefield’s shift too.
The Crimson Moon Priestess stayed silent, simply observing the evolving chaos.
Should Aurek perish, the Star Sea crisis would conclude alongside him.
As for Alexander and those who escaped to the endless Starlight Isle, they breathed sighs of relief while holding their breath in suspense.
Only Aurek’s death would truly banish the nightmare haunting their souls!
"Such a horrific cost, yet it was utterly worthwhile."
An ancient taboo existence from the Primordial Age muttered to himself.
"Destroying the Crossbridge Divine Court is the only way the endless Starlight Isle endures."
"Whatever the price, it was necessary. And Aurek’s demise benefits all."
"But that secret of eternity concealed within him..."
A nearby quasi-Eternal Sage-rank furrowed his brow in warning.
"Whoever claims it depends on who fells Aurek first."
The ancient taboo being knew full well that this war’s root cause was the mystery buried inside Aurek.
Particularly after beholding the unimaginable, transcendent might Aurek wielded, no one could quell the surging avarice in their hearts.
They themselves burned with that same greed!
Yet, the moment for their intervention hadn’t arrived.
The ancient taboo being gazed toward Chaos Originpoint, a contemplative spark in his weathered eyes.
...
"My King! If the endless Starlight Isle folk seize Aurek’s secret and retreat under the Starlight Shield’s guard, we may lose our chance forever. Shouldn’t we charge into the fray now?"
A Chaos Giant voiced his urgency.
King Zijing paused briefly before shaking his head firmly.
"Hold on a bit more. Let them expose the secret first, then we strike!"
...
"Your Majesty Aurek, you have no place left to flee!"
Within the Sea of Chaos near the Blade Sea Sanctum, the Flame Lord smirked faintly.
His form was in utter ruin, soaked in blood, with half his sacred body crumbled away.
The other powerhouses fared little better.
But it was worth every sacrifice!
"Aurek, surrender the secret you hold willingly. We might yet let you live."
"Unless you still fancy overcoming us all, in which case, we’ll gladly fight you till the finish."
The Guide cut straight to it.
One hand on his sword, Aurek scanned the hundreds of thousands of eyes glaring at him.
Each blazed with raw, unmasked greed.
Yet even now, Aurek stood steadfast as a peak, his mind serene and unshaken.
He had already deployed star domains to nurture his entire summoned army—including the Level 26 Doomsday Warriors!
Aurek’s brows furrowed faintly.
That tiny shift didn’t escape Artharion and the others’ notice.
Boom—!
The Lord of Fate snorted coldly. What drivel they spouted!
Who would surrender such a staggering secret without a fight?
If it were him, he’d battle to the last breath before yielding.
"No more words. Else, folks will deem the endless Starlight Isle’s warriors naive fools!"
"Better use that breath to dispatch His Majesty Aurek!"
With a fierce cry, he lunged ahead.
The other powerhouses got the cue and surged forward together.
And precisely then—
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
An overwhelming force instantly pulverized the whole star domain.
That boundless pressure surged like a tidal wave, flooding trillions of star domains.
Over four hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage-rank Doomsday Warriors materialized from the void.
Positioned in the Sea of Chaos, they disregarded the experts arrayed before them, instead bowing deeply to Aurek first.
And the Lord of Fate—who had just advanced to attack—halted abruptly.
Artharion, the other powerhouses, and those hundreds of thousands of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks all froze in unison.
They stared at the vast ocean of figures, their minds blanking out.
Every one petrified, rooted like statues.
Even the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and Supreme Sage-ranks clashing inside the Standarin Universe were struck dumb.
This abrupt twist obliterated the reason of myriad experts.
The protracted war had accustomed them to the Crossbridge Divine Court summoning over a billion Supreme Sage-rank troops daily.
But abruptly unleashing hundreds of millions of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!?
Quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!
Contending against hundreds of billions of Supreme Sage-ranks with just six million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks had been grueling enough.
Now Aurek unleashed hundreds of millions of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks.
Hundreds of millions!
"By the God of Reincarnation... quasi-Eternal... Sage-ranks!"
The Sanctuary of Rebirth experts felt their scalps tingle, barely able to stammer a full phrase.
Boom—!
At Chaos Originpoint, Chaos Giant King Zijing—who had watched ceaselessly—suddenly bulged his eyes wide.
The star-domain vista in his pupils detonated with a thunderous roar, blazing brilliantly.
"All of them quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!"
"He can forge an army of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!!!"
"How is this possible... how on earth did he achieve it..."
"Impossible—this defies the Grand Cosmos’s limits entirely!"
...
"Damn it!"
The Lord of Fate cursed openly, imperial poise forgotten.
The moment awareness hit him, he bolted wildly toward the Standarin Universe’s edge.
And as he fled—
The other powerhouses snapped to and instinctively pursued in retreat.
Quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks, Supreme Sage-ranks... endless Starlight Isle’s countless experts turned to radiant streaks, fleeing in terror!
