The seven Order Main God level God Kings were the peak existences of the Order Main Gods. They were undeniably the Gods among the Gods. The 14 Chaos Main Gods each occupied one or more dimensions and ruled over a region. They had always been viewed as the peak existences of the entire world. They were living history, and mortals even viewed them as eternal existences like the rising and setting of the sun.
But in the recent ten years, these peak existences finally changed, proving that there was no such thing as eternal in this world. This directly shook the comparison between the Order and Order Main Gods.
During the Battle of the Hades, the Chaos Faction had lost a Chaos Main God, the Lord of Putrefaction. However, his death was just like the Battle of the Hades itself. It wasn't announced to the world. Only those who were related to the Chaos Faction and the Chaos Faction learned of the fact that even Main Gods could die.
In the past, Anslo's betrayal had greatly shocked the powerful individuals of the mortal world. News of Anslo's death instantly spread to all the human kingdoms, causing people to sigh at the cruelty of the Holy War, as well as allowing mortals to understand the truth …
"So it turns out that even a Lord God can fall …" Ye Futian sighed.
In the current world of Aichy, the Order Faction only had five Main God level existences, while the Chaos Faction still had thirteen Main Gods. Although this still seemed quite unbalanced, mortals weren't worried about this. That was because the Chaos Main Gods hadn't all participated in the previous Holy War. Not only that, there were also differences between Main Gods. The publicly acknowledged strongest Main God was still the God of Holy Light, who had always been worshiped by the world of Aichy.
However, very few people knew that this time, the Chaos Faction didn't have any restrictions at all. As long as the Chaos Main Gods desired the flesh and souls of the mortal plane, they could voluntarily participate in the battle. It could be said that this Holy War was destined to be the most difficult ever.
The death of the "Elven Empire" and the Elven Gods was perhaps the most eye-catching opening act of the Holy War. However, on the second day, another piece of news shocked the entire world.
Fenbert, the capital of the Mist Mountains and the capital of the Amu Mountains in San Antonio, now had an even more famous name: the Chaos Abyss Fortress Fenbert.
Eight years ago, the Great Demons, who were originally part of the Chaos Race, walked out of the forest and sacrificed the residents of this land to the Chaos Faction in exchange for a large number of Demon reinforcements. However, before they could walk out of the mountains, they were met with a head-on attack.
At San Antonio's invitation, the Holy Church brought an angel army to the Amu Mountains' defense line. Both sides fought on the frontlines of the eternal Holy War here. Due to the dimensional laws of the mortal plane, both sides tacitly agreed to maintain the number of high-level combatants. This low-intensity battle continued for eight years.
But when the eternal Holy War truly began, the so-called "tacit understanding" between the Holy Church and the Holy Church naturally disappeared without a trace. A tremendous number of demons and Chaos War Slaves instantly swarmed onto the battlefield. The low-level angel squadrons suffered heavy losses, and the Holy Church's defensive line only lasted for sixteen hours before being completely flattened. The "Holy Light Warriors" that the Holy Church had specially raised also suffered heavy losses.
Afterwards, some people said that the Chaos Faction had been sly enough to open up two demon wave entrances at the same time. However, after investigation, the Holy Church's intelligence personnel confirmed that the explosive increase in reinforcements was only because Fenbert's Great Demons had sacrificed themselves over many years. They had slowly accumulated a tremendous amount of troops. Finally, they had also used the Elemental Tide brought about by the Holy War to summon two Demon Lords to lead the troops.
The Demon Lords suddenly obtained cannon fodder and high-level combatants, making preparations for the final battle. However, the Demon Lords still thought that this was a "friendly match". Naturally, they lost both quickly and miserably.
But, the most troublesome matter had only just begun.
Since the Demon Lords obtained victory on this battlefield and obtained a tremendous amount of flesh, blood, and souls as spoils of war, the Demon Lords performed the highest level of sacrifice and directly opened up a semi-permanent Chaos Abyss Portal. And now, the "demon wave" truly arrived.
This was how the Chaos Faction would attack during the Holy War. They would harvest souls and flesh through slaughter and war, and then use the spoils of war to summon even more troops for even more slaughter and sacrifices. This snowball effect would be similar to how Undead Calamities increased in power.
If it wasn't for the fact that the demons who came to the mortal plane would have to pay a price just for existing, it would be impossible for them to stay here for long. They would usually kill and rob before returning to the Chaos Abyss like bandits. However, during the Holy War, the demon army would be dimensional invaders that would steal everything. The danger level of the two sides would be incomparable.
The end result was that even though the Moonwheel Capital was facing the demon wave, the Amu Mountains' defense line had completely collapsed. The collapse of the Amu Mountains' defense line had not only dealt a major blow to the Holy Church, but also threatened the entire continent of San Antonio.
It was likely that this mega empire would be the most "idle" among all the mega empires during the preparation period for the Holy War. Unlike the brainless demon war slaves of the demon wave, the demon armies currently residing in the Chaos Abyss Fortress Fenbert were demon armies led by Demon Lords. These demon armies were intelligent, strategic, and powerful war machines.
The Chaos Abyss Portal in the Moonwheel Capital was still in the demon wave period. Any low-level or mid-level demons that entered the mortal plane through that Chaos Abyss Portal would have to pay the price of their rationality. This Chaos Abyss Portal, which didn't require any additional price, was quite eye-catching.
It was likely that countless Demon Lords who wanted to invade the mortal plane would take action and bring their own armies to the mortal plane in order to seize the initiative in the eternal Holy War.
"… It's still acceptable. At the very least, San Antonio has plenty of resources. It should be enough to deal with."
While this information was acceptable, the next piece of information was rather confusing and nerve-wracking.
"There are signs of activity in the Demon Abyss in the Lava Cave region of the former Mist Kingdom. Eyewitnesses have discovered signs of dark cultists and high-level demons."
I was familiar with the location mentioned in this report. Back in the day, this was where Cavendish had been stationed. Later on, Cavendish had opened up a Chaos Abyss Portal and summoned demons to massacre the Seven Kingdoms.
Demons had previously entered the mortal plane in places where the dimensional laws of Order were weak. Not only would invading the mortal plane save on sacrificing resources, it would also be "safe and reliable". Judging from the information I received, it was quite likely that a demon army would appear there. However, ever since the Mist Kingdom had been destroyed, the Demon Abyss had fallen silent. There were probably no more demons stationed there.
Although Renée didn't say anything after hearing this information, it was quite obvious how worried she was. It was likely that she was burning with impatience and wanted nothing more than to return to the Northlands in a single night.
However, not only was it impossible for us to travel at high speed, it was likely that we would have to slow down in just a few hours.
Our airship fleet was slowly passing through the snowy mountains. Once we passed through the Herit Snow Mountains, which were rarely visited by humans, we would have to let the elves out and have them leave on their own. At that time, unless we didn't care about the elven residents who were migrating, the airship fleet's speed would be reduced to walking.
However, this wasn't all bad news. At the very least, as the airship fleet's altitude increased, the fire element inferno dragons seemed to be unable to withstand the cold and were finally giving up. As long as we passed through the Herit Snow Mountains, we would be able to enter the human kingdoms' territory and wouldn't have to worry too much about being chased.
Meanwhile, we also had some uninvited guests accompanying us.
