Donatis had made so many preparations, but when it came time for the final battle, they would have to face each other head-on.
The magical snow obscured both sides' vision. The defenders instinctively and passively defended. While they were delighted that the enemy's attacks had weakened, they didn't expect that the God of Death had already arrived.
* Boom! *
Donatis sliced through the city wall with his sword. His next attack swept through all the guards and ballista cannons on the city wall. Pitch-black shadows covered the giant God's body. His silent eyes were burning like black suns.
Behind him, in the icy snow, the headless and dismembered corpses of the Gods had already piled up into a small mountain.
The Chaos War God had once again proven his power in this battle. In less than an hour, the entire Elf God Faction that had attempted to stop the demon wave had been destroyed like mantises trying to stop a chariot. Donatis next step would be the floating battleships in the sky.
As long as he eliminated the caster of the forbidden spell, the forbidden spell that was threatening the demon wave and the snow that was obstructing the Chaos Abyss's army would stop. Everything would return to normal.
However, what astonished Donatis was that after a short period of fear, the mortals didn't despair. Instead, they organized their final defense line.
A withered and heavily injured treant elder charged forward. However, Donatis stomped him into smithereens. Meanwhile, his companions transformed into a forest of thorns that became a bloodwood defense line.
The elven rangers had long since finished shooting their last arrows. They howled savagely just like the beastmen that they looked down on in the past. They raised their weapons and charged forward to their deaths, all in order to stall the Elf Gods for a few more seconds.
As the Elf Gods were all destroyed, the Elf Gods' elven priests and priestesses either instantly went insane or directly died. The few remaining young priests had tears in their eyes as they held their wooden clubs and fought for their lives. They died the same way as the rangers.
What happened to the warriors that always stood at the front? At this time, the elven warrior job classes that were still alive and able to walk no longer deserved to be called warriors.
Silver elf nobles? Moon elf royalty? Wild elf bastards? At this moment, there was no difference. Everyone knew that if they didn't risk their lives, they would die. But at least there was a glimmer of hope … In the floating city, there were all the elves' children and books. They were the hope of the future.
The Mist Alliance's reinforcements had already completed their mission. The ordinary warriors had already returned to the floating airships as ordered. However, Renée still had a complex expression as she watched the elves rush off to their deaths. Even though she didn't have a favorable impression of the elves, she still had a slight favorable impression of the brave warriors who sacrificed themselves to protect the elves.
War God Donatis himself was actually the one who was moved by this scene the most.
He happily welcomed every warrior's challenge on the battlefield. His joy was even greater than when he had fought Anslo to the death. He carefully avoided massacres and directly killed every "warrior" who challenged him. Every time a warrior's physical body was destroyed, another person would appear in the empty Valkyrie Palace.
"Even in the face of despair, the souls of brave warriors are the foundation of Valkyrie … Aren't we being a little too despicable?"
"No, we only told them information. This is all their choice."
Indeed, this sacrifice was valuable. Donatis had been addicted to accepting the warriors' challenges and appreciating the warriors' soul light before their deaths. This caused him to slow down in his slaughter.
This had already happened once in the Chaos Abyss. Donatis admired the weak who dared to challenge him. It was no secret that he would give them more time to use their full potential. However, the fact that he was willing to use this as a method to stall for time showed how cruel and merciless the person who came up with this idea was. It could only be said that Donatis had reached the point where he had to find a way out.
Reyne was still too young. The information she had passed on had caused this scene before her, and the inexplicable sense of guilt made it hard for her to breathe.
"Is there a difference? Even if we scatter and retreat, Donatis will probably kill us even faster if he gets serious about killing us. "
Harloys was quite open-minded about this.
Even so, the elves' sacrifice wouldn't be able to buy much time. Donatis would soon realize his mistake. The other obstacle was that the newly born Elemental Lords wouldn't even be worth mentioning in front of Donatis. Donatis's pure power would still overwhelm everything.
Only the courageous would win. This seemed to have become an ironclad rule on the battlefield. However, very few people noticed that the prerequisite for this rule was that both sides were roughly equal in power. In front of pure brute force, bravery would only be able to stall for time before death.
But … there was still a second part to the courageous would win: "When the courageous meet, the wise win."
Since bravery was useless, perhaps the side that planned more beforehand would have an easier time obtaining the final victory.
"This is the final gamble. Activate the backup plan!"
Ten minutes ago, a certain decision was made. At this moment, a tremendous explosion came from the source of the demon wave.
If anyone could see through the snow in the sky, they would be able to see that snowflakes were also spreading in that direction, but exploding at an even faster speed.
"Marguerite's copy of the Ice Aeon? Has it already begun? Donatis is undefeatable in the demon wave, but if he's not in the demon wave … "
From the very start, our faction was missing a bunch of people. Adam, Marguerite, and the others had arrived here on an airship together with us, but they had split up not long ago.
Calculating their travel time, they should have arrived here before us since they had arrived on an assault airship in advance. It was just that their destination was different.
Their mission was to attack when necessary, interfere with the Chaos Abyss's dimensional forces, and temporarily cut off the demon wave.
This was a backup plan that we had come up with beforehand, as well as a choice that we had no other choice. What would happen if we kept their outstanding combat strength by our side?
Ice Aeon's anti-magic domain would cripple Marguerite as she was a mage. Little Red was the reincarnation of a fire element red dragon. She was still a young dragon, so it was likely that she would freeze to death. Eliza was a peak Inferno Demon, so she would probably be no different from Little Red. Adam should have been in his best condition, but he just so happened to have a phoenix heart at this time, transforming into a dual element of wind and fire. Not only would he be weakened by the ice, his heart would also stop beating.
The final result would likely be that the strongest adventuring team in all of Eich would be slapped to death by the strongest Chaos War God in an environment with the weakest elemental stats.
In that case, the Elven Gods had died quite unjustly. Everyone knew that the elves were the most skilled at magic, yet they had to fight against the Chaos War God in this anti-magic domain. This was just like humans giving up their weapons and fighting against chimpanzees bare-handed … It would seem that Anslo wasn't as weak as I had originally thought. So I had been a super useless teammate.
Cough, cough, of course, trying to cut off the demon wave would also be incredibly dangerous. But I wouldn't send out a signal unless absolutely necessary.
I seemed to have forgotten something? That's right, Eliza had also come to the mortal plane. She had sent a message to Anslo. Since Anslo was able to return to the mortal plane through the Chaos Abyss' Dimensional Door, there was no reason why Eliza, who was also a Chaos Lord, wouldn't be unable to return as well. Right now, Eliza was probably waiting on the other side of the Chaos Abyss. When Adam and the others attacked the Chaos Abyss' Dimensional Door, Eliza would pincer attack from both sides.
It would be impossible to permanently close a Dimensional Door that had already stabilized. However, it would be quite easy for Marguerite to simultaneously disrupt the Dimensional Door's connection to both sides and temporarily cut off the connection between the two planes.
Judging from the current situation, the Chaos Faction hadn't sent out any powerful Chaos Lords to guard the Dimensional Door (there had actually been one, but Anslo had conveniently killed one of them). Marguerite's plan was quite successful. At that moment, the demon wave was truly cut off.
How long could the demon wave be cut off for? Three minutes? One minute? Half a minute? Nobody could guarantee anything. However, it would still be possible to buy several dozen seconds before the will of the Chaos Abyss became furious.
Still, we could sense that Donatis had obviously been weakened from this moment onward. However …
"The situation hasn't changed yet. Even if an elephant loses half its weight in one night, it can still easily stomp a mouse to death …"
The Chaos War God's expression didn't change at all. However, the sudden change in the situation caused him to come to a realization. He stopped admiring the heroic souls' performance and directly charged towards the floating battleships, starting a massacre along the way.
"No, the situation has changed … Venerated Order Main Gods, your mortal enemy, Donatis, has been isolated from the demon wave. He's alone now. Are you going to miss such an excellent opportunity?"
I didn't need to do anything. Countless pairs of eyes had been staring at this place ever since the demon wave first appeared. If the Order Main Gods really wanted to do something, they wouldn't miss this opportunity!
"Well done, young man."
A white-bearded old man suddenly appeared in the sky together with this praise. The white-bearded old man raised his staff and pointed it at Donatis. An arcane cage then descended and tightly locked Donatis within.
This white-bearded old man was the Wisdom God Kalumandas, who had long since been in cahoots with the Hades. Of course, Kalumandas would be no match for Donatis, nor would he risk his life for us. However, according to our previous secret agreement, Kalumandas would only act when we needed him the most and slightly obstruct us.
However, there was a saying called "beating a drowning dog". There was also a certain type of behavior called "supporting"!
Kalumandas' incarnation vanished without a trace right after it appeared. The next instant, a chain of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck Donatis' body. A gigantic war hammer descended from the sky and smashed into his head. A small tree sapling suddenly wrapped itself around his feet. Donatis was still dizzy and disoriented. The reinforcements that I had been waiting for the most had finally arrived.
Just like last time, a golden Holy Light incarnation appeared. This incarnation was so bright that no one could see it clearly. However, this incarnation was far more powerful than it had been in the past. The God of Holy Light had arrived.
The God of Holy Light was the strongest Order Main God in the mortal plane. Now that there was an opportunity to kill off a powerful Chaos Main God who wasn't on his home turf, how could the God of Holy Light possibly miss out on this opportunity to kill off the vanguard of the Chaos Main God and spread his faith and divine might?
Perhaps this was a trap filled with evil intentions. However, this trap's target wasn't just the Elven Gods!
"… The end of the Cycle of Reincarnation has arrived. Ice Aeon shall become eternal!"
At this moment, I was about to finish my forbidden spell. The moment that I finished my incantation, the forbidden spell Ice Aeon activated.
