Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1610: A Massacre.
Since the holes were constantly being created, the procession became stalled. They became a literal sitting target for the invaders to fire at. They couldn’t move or do anything, so they could only watch as their defensive tactic came undone.
Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long. The Supreme Tyrants were 64,000 in number, and they needed about 100,000 cycles to eliminate half of their numbers. Each cycle was a second, so high heaven needed just 28 hours to destroy 50% of the structural integrity of the barrier.
But by that time, the resources available for the barrier had become too few to block a concentrated attack at a single spot. So the Origin gods of high heaven didn’t need to scheme for vulnerabilities anymore. They just targeted each Supreme Tyrant in turn and turned them to ashes.
This shortened the time the Supreme Tyrants had to endure the humiliation of defeat. They could finally withdraw their Supreme Powers and focus them on themselves. Then they shot downward to fight it out with the defenders of the divine plane.
Most of them were shot down from the sky. Legion in particular, managed to get a few of them. They did this by concentrating the firepower of their death stars from different parts of the battlefield on a single target.
So firepower from different places all converged on a single Supreme Tyrant. This wasn’t weird as many others were doing the same thing. They just weren’t as coordinated as Legion.
But some Supreme Tyrants managed to reach the barrier of the floating fortresses. They began working at destroying it, which made them sitting targets.
The two armies had finally met. The fight went from a side passively taking a beating to both sides exchanging attacks and defending themselves. This increased the brutality of the fight. But most of the increase in brutality fell on the Tyrants because the land fortresses could finally fire.
The land fortresses had been waiting for a long time and were very prepared. All they needed was Mother High Heaven’s permission to let loose. With the Tyrants battling the floating fortresses, they had come close enough for the land fortresses to take shots at them too. Their attacks passed through the barriers and struck the Tyrants trying to break them.
The two layers of offensive were finally put to work. This increased the pressure on the invaders by three times. What’s worse is that they don’t have a barrier to help them weather through it. They were overwhelmed very quickly.
It was messy, but clean. There wasn’t even blood because the heat of the explosions burned everything. Explosions reaped their lives one after another, and there was no body left to
mourn.
In fact, any body, intact or not, was not spared. This is because an Origin god is still alive as long as they have a body. They had to be destroyed completely for one to be certain of their deaths.
The invaders were dying in droves. It didn’t make any difference that they had succeeded in building some artillery to assist them. Their impoverished firepower support didn’t affect the overall situation at all.
The barrier created by the air fortresses couldn’t be broken, but even if they managed to, they still had to break the divine plane and gain access to the high heaven realm below.
Then they probably have to fight the Origin gods situated below, guarding the dungeons, before they can gain access to the Tyrant Realm. The demon gods and Origin gods of high heaven realm there will fight them too.
They have to do these four things before their numbers run out. And it is only for a chance to turn the situation around from certain loss to probable loss in the era of conquest.
-The Abyss of The Tyrant Realm
News had finally reached the abyss of the happenings in the realm. Things could no longer be hidden from them. The broken divine plane and the spreading oceans of demon gods in the realm clued even the densest demon into the bad situation of the Tyrant realm.
The demons were roaring in excitement. They had long been suppressed by the Tyrants and can use this opportunity to get revenge. Even the demon gods were full of excitement. But more than that, they were already preparing to join in the fun.
First, they had to have a meeting about what they would do about the land of hope.
GREED was emotional. It said in awe, “Those demon gods from the high heaven realm are truly powerful. Look at what they have achieved in a short amount of time.”
LIES also felt a slight fear. But it is only slight. Most of its emotion is joy. It said, “It is a good thing that demon gods can’t eat each other, or I wouldn’t feel safe at all.”
GREED said, “We shouldn’t be so sure yet. The fact that we didn’t have any demon kings of kings doesn’t mean they didn’t.”
LIES scoffed and said, “Don’t try to scare me. Surely they would be smart enough to know to kill any demon king of kings before it grows.”
GREED laughed at its joke. “I bet they did. I bet they did.”
LIES changed the subject. “I am certain that the Tyrant Realm is doomed because of them. What do we do about the land of hope?” GREED replied, “It will be gone when the realm ends, so we should take full advantage of it before then. I suggest we eat all the livestock before we go and join the feast going on in the realm.”
LIES asked, “That’s a good idea. But how do we share it?”
GREED almost blew its top as it asked, “What do you mean, ‘how do we share it?’ We have to share it 60-40, according to our agreement. I’ll take 60%, and you take 40%. I will fight you now if you dare to try anything funny.”
