Chapter 1276: Chapter 1262: The Arrival of the Insect Race Chapter 1276: Chapter 1262: The Arrival of the Insect Race “We have destroyed His Divine Kingdom along with Him, so even if He can resurrect, it won’t be possible for Him to trouble us in a short period of time.” Muria said with a gentle smile. Although he was taking advantage of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, this was still significant as it was the first deity he had ever killed.

Moreover, he had crushed this Evil God at the peak of its power, without resorting to a war of attrition and intentionally dragging out its death.

If he really wanted to drag it out, he would only need to withstand the attacks and maintain a certain intensity of battle, which could have dragged the deity to its death.

“Your Majesty, has this Evil God truly fallen? Is it possible that He is faking His death?”

Because of the passage of time, the extremely cautious Ancient Red Dragon Cynthia flew over the ravaged land with a worried expression, feeling that the battle had been too easy.

In her experience, the onset of a divine war involving beings of the deity tier meant that even legends would become cannon fodder, constantly at risk of falling. But in this war, she didn’t feel much of a threat at all.

Compared to the divine wars she had in mind, the one she just fought in was won far too easily. Although the losses were substantial, they were nothing compared to the brutality of a typical divine war.

“Being vigilant like this is good, but there’s no need for such worry. He was not a deity in a normal state, He had just resurrected, and it was already quite impressive that He could fight against me, enhanced by the Power of Ten Thousand Soldiers.”

Muria, who had achieved victory, still maintained a clear head, but his words emanated a touch of arrogance, which his minions did not find abnormal.

“Of course, every strike of Yours, Your Majesty, encompassed the power of all of us. This Divine Being was not only contesting against You but also struggling against us.

Each of us alone is insignificant to a deity, but when all of our powers are consolidated, even a deity can fall as a result.

Without the assistance of the Subordinate Army, relying solely on His own power and Divine Kingdom, it was already very respectable that He could battle against You.”

Auston’s fellow Ancient Red Dragon, Albert, flew over to provide a well-reasoned analysis, confirming the conclusion that the deity had indeed fallen, while also singing his own praises.

“It is also Your merit, Your Majesty, that could consolidate all of our powers. Otherwise, we could only cause trivial damage to the deity at the cost of our lives.”

Not wanting to be outdone by her elder dragon sibling who had just earned attention from Muria, the Ancient Red Dragon Jessica spoke up. Although a Legendary Ancient Dragon herself, she had long realized that the future of dragons like herself lay at the whim of His Majesty.

“That’s certainly true, but as the providers of this power, we’ve also endured our fair share of hardship, haven’t we?”

Listening to these individuals flatter him, Muria smiled and then began to collect the spoils of his victory.

Radiant light erupted from his body, becoming increasingly dazzling, but it was merely the outer expression of his power being released to fully erode and assimilate the Divine Kingdom.

“Has He truly fallen?”

Muria mused to himself. Even though he had personally wielded the Battle Halberd, decapitated the deity, and destroyed His body, physical demolition did not equate to the deity’s fall.

If he was facing a normally functioning deity, what he would need to do now was regroup and prepare for the revival of a fully recovered deity.

Unfortunately, he had battled a deity who had just resurrected. Devoid of the capacity for a prolonged war of attrition, which deities are generally adept at, He had no choice but to fight with His real body when faced with a formidable external invasion, which was quite tragic.

Even so, Muria did not let down his guard; a deity whose lifespan he could not ascertain, just emerging from the coffin, crawling out of the grave – these alone were enough to warrant caution, for who knew what aces He might have up His sleeve.

As for the current situation, it appears that the deity had neither an ample host body nor any special contingency plans, or perhaps He had them but had already exhausted them.

“This war went too smoothly.”

Muria drew out the Demonsweeper Sword and then plunged it into the ground beneath him. The earth let out a violent roar, like the death throes of a giant beast.

Then, a massive fissure emanated from the sword held in his hand, spreading in all directions of the Land of the Gods, deep and abyssal, instilling fear with its immensity. From within the great abyss, golden light began to gleam.

The earth roared even more violently, and the army under Bureiya took flight to escape the severe tremors, looking down from high above at the startling changes below.

The land was torn asunder, the Divine Kingdom collapsed, and the rules became chaotic. Gravity was thrown off balance, and large chunks of debris floated in mid-air, but these materials of the Divine Kingdom soon found their final resting place.

That was the passage unfolding behind Muria, leading to another fragmented world. All matter that could be touched, along with those formless intangible things, were rushing into this world, eager to expand and perfect itself.

As the world under Muria’s control devoured this godless Divine Kingdom, endless thunder spread outside it.

The Divine Kingdom is a special Plane semi-independent of the world; it exists by relying on the world, yet possesses a completely independent set of Laws.

So, once Muria entered, he brazenly revealed his true form, because he only had to contend with the suppression of the Divine Kingdom’s Laws, which were entirely on a different level compared to the Great World’s Law suppression. He could even suppress the Divine Kingdom in turn.

But when Muria began to devour the Divine Kingdom, the World Will instinctively retaliated. The Divine Kingdom of a deity is also part of the world; taking over a Divine Kingdom is akin to cutting flesh from the world itself.

“It seems it has truly fallen.”

Seeing that he had brought the Divine Kingdom to such a state of ruin without any resistance, Muria’s gaze turned to the outside of the Divine Kingdom. With the shattering of the Divine Kingdom, his Epic from the foreign world was exposed.

Therefore, through the shattering space of the Divine Kingdom, Muria could see thunder growing denser in the sky as the Divine Kingdom broke, and his expression became all the more solemn, even more so than when battling deities.

Because even for Epics, directly clashing with the Great World Will means only one fate: to be struck dead by the Heavenly Punishment meted out by the world. The unconscious Great World Will could effortlessly crush any existence below the Third Tier of Epics with its sheer magnitude.

“It’s time to return.”

Muria once again opened a passage back to his own world, calling his minions back. If it were just one or two otherworldly organisms, the world would at most descend the Law to suppress them, never summoning Heavenly Punishment unless it could threaten the world.

But when organisms from otherworlds gathered in large numbers, it was a provocation of the world’s bottom line. Even the Great World could not tolerate that.

“If we don’t leave now, we’ll be struck by lightning!”

…
“Lord Dimos, we’ve received an urgent request for assistance from the Hassan Kingdom, asking for our immediate military support as their defenses have been breached by those insects,”
At the top of a high tower that had broken through the clouds, a dragon-esque being stood upright, respectfully reporting to their creator and sovereign.

“Hmm? So soon? Didn’t those humans outright refuse our help three days ago? Now they shamelessly come begging for our aid?”

Upon hearing this request for help, a dragon person clad in thick armor sneered, full of disdain.

“It must be that their enemies are stronger than expected. They thought they could handle it three days ago, but now, they have been blown apart. So, they have no choice but to swallow their pride and ask for our help.”

Dimos stroked his chin. His consciousness had not been clouded for long after his reincarnation, so right after his successful descent, he quickly brought his reincarnated body up to the Legendary Peak—the maximum he could achieve in a short amount of time.

Then, Dimos began forming his native legion within the world. Although it took some time, to him, it was worth it because summoning his Subordinate Army to fight in a different world had too many restrictions.

“Hmph, they were so decisive in refusing us at first. If that’s the case, they should stick it out to the end and not ask for our help!”

The armored dragon person scoffed, then turned and bowed deeply to the Dragon King seated atop a golden throne, showing no hint of arrogant attitude,
“My lord, I suggest we do not offer assistance and wait for the insects from who knows where to destroy the Hassan Kingdom. Then, we can dispatch our legion to drive out those insects and take all their territory.”

“Fire Claw, you don’t understand the terror of those insects. If we really wait for those insects to engulf the Hassan Kingdom, then your doomsday isn’t far off.”

Dimos sighed and swept his claw lightly. He had not expected that merely by staying in his place of birth and building a force, he would encounter such trouble.

As if tearing through space, light and shadow appeared atop the high tower, and the dragon people who had only heard of it but had never seen it until now observed:
Insect-like creatures resembling spiders moved their sharp, pointed limbs in no distinct formation, but merely by numbers formed an enveloping Black Tide. Then, they surged toward the towering fortress city standing majestically on the land like a majestic mountain.

Initially, the insects were massacred by the fortress’s well-stocked army, but as time passed, the corpses of the insects formed a ramp below the fortress walls. Then, the undiminished swarm of insects directly stormed up the walls, reversing the battle…
