Chapter 1447: Chapter 1404: Military Unification Chapter 1447: Chapter 1404: Military Unification “No longer considering any cost, just take action directly, and then spend more time on post-war reconstruction?”

Muria fell into deep contemplation, engaged in an intense balancing of thoughts.

To sweep the world with military force, crushing all dissenters to achieve unification, was indeed simple and straightforward, and spiritually satisfying with clear thoughts. Of course, to complete such deeds with pure violence meant bearing the consequential aftermath.

Even a cornered dog would jump over the wall, let alone high and lofty divine beings. What might these deities who refuse submission do in utter desperation?

Overturning the chessboard was undoubtedly a very good choice. However, such an outcome was precisely what Muria did not wish to see. Muria wanted to inherit a complete world, not a shattered ruin.

“In that case, we can only end everything in the shortest time possible, not giving them any extra time to react.”

Muria’s face showed some hesitation, “I still feel that it’s better to promote peace through war to achieve unification, after all, the trend is on my side.”

“Muria, when necessary, you must endure some losses; it is inevitable.

You’re now sitting too high up, and there are many things you can’t see. At this stage, from my understanding, military unification is the best choice.”

“How so?” Muria became interested.

“In the domains ruled by those deities, their churches have tried every means to smear the Divine Court, portraying it as a gathering place of the most evil Divine Courts in the world, and you, as a God King of great sin and evil.”

“Is that all?” Muria couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time; it was nothing more than childish mischief. Unable to win a fight, feeling aggrieved, yet still not submitting, they could only curse under their breath.

“Although such a trick is low and vile, do not underestimate the negative impact such propaganda can have! Do you know, in the eyes of the mortals living under the rule of those deities, what the Divine Court’s domain is seen as?”

“What?”

“It’s seen as the Abyss, as Hell, as a horrific Underworld. In their propaganda, the Divine Court’s rule is oppressive to all races under its domain, often resulting in the destruction of cities and annihilation of races.

And we, the most evil gods, impose all kinds of harsh demands on the races that follow us, and if satisfaction is not met, we would descend divine punishments, whether it be catastrophic floods, scorched land for thousands of miles, or the spread of plagues.”

“…” Muria silently pondered with a heart full of emotion, “To smear my Divine Court like this, how many would believe it?”

“Do not overestimate the wisdom of the common people under the rule of the gods; their ignorance exceeds your imagination.

Not every deity will, like you, try every means to implement compulsory education within their own dominion.”

“So, outside of the Divine Court, the domains we govern are seen as Abyss Demon Lands, and we are seen as extremely evil demons, heh, quite amusing.”

“Such propaganda might not show results in the short term, but once the timeline extends beyond a century, it will lead to unforeseeable consequences.

The common people living in domains of alien gods will harbor strong resistance towards us. Even if we implement policies the same as those in the Divine Court after taking over, they will still be seen as devilish temptations.”

“I suppose the obstacles this will create for our rule is a problem that must be considered.”

“The simplest solution for these races brainwashed by the churches of gods is to annihilate them all, leaving only their ignorant young, preserving the most basic bloodline inheritance to maintain the diversity of species. That should suffice.”

“That indeed is simple, but how many must be killed? I fear it would mean killing off half the creatures in the world!”

Upon hearing his partner’s words, even Muria, who had reached such heights, couldn’t help but shake his head.

“The longer you drag this out now, the more lives that will need to be cut down by the slaughter knife when the time comes. If you want to kill fewer, then take action now!”

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be resolved with killing, right? We could spend a little more time correcting their twisted cognition,” Muria insisted.

“Muria, you need to understand, the total creatures under the rule of the gods combined are more than double of those in the domains we govern in the Divine Court.

In such a scenario, I understand your desire to solve this through enlightenment, but realistically it is a completely unworkable plan, requiring manpower and resources far beyond what we can afford.”

“So in the end, we only have killing as an option, I understand.”

“That’s right, if possible, you’d better act now without any further procrastination. We already possess the ability to unify and govern this entire great world.”

“Fine, I will find an excuse to enter the fray.”

The high and mighty God King in the temple nodded, and within some unknown space, in a world with a triple spatial structure, an existence with a majestic body opened its eyes.

Thunder flashed, furious winds howled, countless undead knelt on the skeletal piled continent, and under the brilliant sunlight, the seas surged with endless waves…

…

“Tsck, worthy of being a Divine Descendant from the Divine Court, the offspring of that Alien God stands no chance.”

Atop the city walls already blanketed with the carcasses of the bizarre insectoid creatures, the general clad in Magic Armor stood on a small mound made from the accumulation of bodies, gazing at the Sky Dome.

It was clear that the shadow cast by the downpour of insects had been completely dispersed, revealing the enormous and fierce, yet now scarred body of the Demon Insect.

“However, something seems off. The state of this big figure was not at its peak from the very beginning.”

Although the battle between Divine Descendants was one-sided from the start, resembling an adult fighting a child, the general, who had no right to interfere in this demigod war, had noticed some clues as the battle persisted.

This big figure, who came to support him as proof that the Divine Court would not abandon anyone or treat anyone as a discardable pawn, seemed to have come from another battlefield. Therefore, his state was not at its peak; in fact, it was even at a low ebb.

His opponent, although not a match in terms of burst strength, did have an extremely tenacious vitality. Even now, riddled with scars, it only appeared miserable but had not sustained any fundamental damage.

“Kill!”

The giant, clutching a Frost Battle Axe, beheaded a pincer from his insectoid Divine Descendant opponent, issuing a powerful cry in battle and forcibly shattered hundreds of “small” insects leaping over from the body of the giant opposite.

Yet even with his valiant and invincible stance, his intention to dismember the insect before him could not conceal the deepening fatigue in his eyes.

“Is this all a Divine Descendant of the Divine Court amounts to? Just after a short while, you’re already faltering?”

The insectoid Divine Descendant, having lost part of its body, cackled grotesquely, noticing the deterioration in the giant Divine Descendant’s condition and unhesitatingly made a taunting remark.

“Dare to act wildly as a mere insect?”

The giant cloaked in frost snorted angrily. Dense snow clouds in the sky began to disperse swiftly, as delicate flecks of ice fell spiraling down, while a faint, slightly golden blaze of blood flamed upon his body.

In that instant, the aura of the giant Divine Descendant surged to an extent that made the insect deity involuntarily tremble, and the crippled insect race did not hesitate to turn their heads in flight.

It would be simply foolish to rigidly oppose such a state of a Divine Descendant. It was clear that the giant’s condition could not be maintained for much longer. Just avoiding this period and waiting for him to turn away would subject him to their whims, ready for them to toy with as they pleased.

But reality and ideals are always a vast and unreachable gap apart. The insectoid Divine Descendant, who originally thought of distancing itself, delaying the giant, and waiting out the raging burst of energy, found itself bafflingly unable to escape.

At some unknown moment, an invisible chain had connected it with the giant. Any movement it made, the other would surely follow closely. They were now locked at a minimum distance apart, yet it was an ability with an annoyingly elastic distance.

“When did you do this?”

“Does it matter?”

Clutching his axe, the giant’s body, swollen with a temporary surge in power, let out a cold sneer. Then, under the slightly frightened gaze of the insectoid Divine Descendant, he pounced forward like a lion or tiger that had long been craving flesh.

Splurch!

Limb fragments rained down from the sky, a somewhat translucent blood with hints of crystal glimmering, lending an almost sacred air, as they poured down like a waterfall.

With a roar, a fierce insect head was hurled down from the sky, landing heavily on the ground and creating a sizeable crater. Then followed the great corpse of the insect, chopped into five parts, falling like a grotesque mountain.

Such actions invariably triggered an unpredictable consequence. Vast and oppressive Divine Might suddenly descended, then violently crashed down upon the giant, now drained of energy.

Click!

A crisp snapping of bones echoed through the sky as the giant, who had depleted his strength, was pressed down from the sky and crashed to the ground.

“How dare you slay my offspring, you’ve got some nerve. Kneel and beg for forgiveness!”

“Killing just an insect, and it’s asking for an apology? Delusional!”

The slightly hunched giant straightened his crackling spine with undying defiance in his voice, even in the face of a True God, he had no intention of bowing his head.

“A mere Divine Descendant dares to disrespect me, even if I were to kill you, I’m sure the Divine Court would have nothing to say about it.”

“Heh!”

A light chuckle echoed through the Sky Dome, followed by the emergence of a majestic figure extending a hand from within a special triple-structured space. Reaching through endless space, he then seized a golden, sacred-bodied Giant Insect,
“Just an ordinary insect, once slaughtered, I doubt those old fogeys would dare to say anything against me.”
