Fortunately, what Sui Xiong was worried about did not happen. After a fierce battle, Yuslar ultimately failed to break through the defense of the Highest Tower and was stopped about a mile away from the coastline.
This distance was actually very close. For the wars on Earth, it could be said to be at the level of a face-to-face duel. But for the wars of this world, the distance of a mile was quite enough. It was enough to serve as a buffer between the two sides, and there was no need to worry about overly intense means.
As a famous Lord of the Abyss, Yuslar's strength was at least equivalent to that of a weak Divine Power. But it came from the chaotic and evil Abyss World to the Main Plane that tended to be orderly and neutral, and it was greatly suppressed. Moreover, it was not a powerful body that had descended at the moment, but merely a projection. So in the face of the Highest Tower that was resisting with all its might, it was powerless. Although it kept roaring and calling for its subordinates, it was already impossible for it to take even one step forward.
Beams of blazing white positive energy shot out from the defensive devices of the Highest Tower one after another, blasting on Yuslar's body. Each of these beams was directed by a legendary mage, and even the powerful Lord of the Abyss could not completely resist it. Even if it risked the damage of this projected incarnation, it would still be difficult for it to take another step forward.
And those demons that it summoned were dealt with by those middle-level and high-level mages. All kinds of spells with special effects on demons came crashing down, and each spell could kill one or more demons. Although Yuslar summoned them very quickly, the speed at which the mages destroyed them was not slow at all.
Thus, the scene gradually became a stalemate.
Sui Xiong carefully studied the situation of the battle between the two sides, and finally felt a little relieved.
There was a huge magic pool that had been accumulated for a long time in the Highest Tower, and almost all the spellcasters had been urgently mobilized to meditate with all their might in order to replenish the consumption of the magic pool. Judging from the current situation, they could probably maintain a war of this intensity for at least half a month or more.
And was it possible for Yuslar's incarnation to stay on Earth for half a month?
Of course not! Even if it was just an incarnation, it was impossible for a Lord of the Abyss to stay on the Main Plane for so long. At most one day and one night, it would be driven away by the repulsive force of the Main Plane, and in the next hundred years, it would not be able to take another step into the Main Plane.
This was also based on the premise that Yuslar had been entrusted with a task and was loyal to it. Abyss demons were generally very casual. They would never serve the summoner for a long time. Especially in a situation like this where they couldn't get enough rewards for their hard work, they would quickly lose interest and leave.
Inside the Highest Tower, the Legendary Masters were also discussing this issue.
"Don't attack Yuslar with too much force. Don't hit its vital parts." One of the mages who specialized in the study of the Abyss Demons emphasized, "What we need to do is banish it, not provoke it. As long as it feels like it can't take advantage of us, it will lose interest and leave on its own. On the contrary, if our attacks are too strong and hurt it, then it is very likely that it will be completely enraged and attack us recklessly. It might even choose to self-destruct this incarnation … That would be a great loss! "
Although he was only a high-level mage and had yet to step into the Legendary-realm, he was now the highest commander of the entire Highest Tower. A group of Legendary-mages were obediently acting according to his commands.
In the world of mages, knowledge was power. Those who had knowledge were worthy of respect. Especially under such circumstances, those who had mastered the most important knowledge were the most worthy of respect.
"Fortunately, we reacted quickly!" A high-level mage shot out a beam of positive energy and killed a powerful demon that was rushing over quickly. He said to his companions beside him, "If we were any later, it would have been really bad!"
"It's impossible to be late. The early warning and defense system of the Highest Tower is not just for show. If it weren't for the fact that the enemy this time was too strong, it would have been impossible for them to rush over to this distance. "
"It's a pity that the demons this time are all projections. If only they were real! And we could have harvested some rare materials … "
"Don't let your imagination run wild. If they were real, who knows how much the nearby seawater would be polluted!"
And under the surface of the sea, near the altar of bones, large numbers of murlocs were still serving as sacrifices one after another, making the altar bigger and bigger. The trident with two broken forks on the altar was also becoming more and more dazzling.
A few murloc elders who were so old that they were unrecognizable looked at the trident that was glowing with life from afar. Their eyes were filled with gratification.
"Soon! Very soon! "
"The god that truly belongs to us murlocs …"
"Our queen, you will definitely come back!"
Because of the pollution brought about by the Lord of the Abyss, the entire surface of the sea was heavily obscured. Although the evil green fog had mostly dissipated, even Sui Xiong only noticed the Lord of the Abyss, Yuslar. He did not notice the existence of the altar at all.
This was the essence of the murlocs' plan. They sacrificed a large number of their people to summon the Lord of the Abyss and let the Lord of the Abyss attract everyone's attention in order to cover their real actions. The one who had formulated this plan for them was none other than the former God of Conspiracy.
Although the God of Conspiracy had fallen, many of the conspiracies that he had devised in the past had not been invalidated with his fall. On the contrary, these conspiracies were still in full swing until they were finally launched.
The "God-making Plan" of the murlocs was one of them.
There were two key points to this plan. The first was a suitable medium, and the second was a suitable opportunity.
In terms of the medium, after the former Goddess of the Ocean had fallen, the fragment of the Sea King's Halberd had been obtained by the God of Conspiracy. The divinity in this artifact had been extracted by Sui Xiong and became the catalyst for the birth of a new generation of Goddess of the Ocean. However, the body of the artifact had not been completely destroyed. The God of Conspiracy had collected most of its fragments and recast it with a secret method. It was the long spear that was inserted into the altar of bones at this moment.
This thing retained much of the aura of the former Goddess of the Ocean. With it as a catalyst and a large amount of life and faith, it would be enough to gather the faith of the entire murlocs and create a new god.
Perhaps this god would be very weak, but behind him was the entire murlocs, which was the largest race in terms of population on the Main Plane. As long as he was given enough time, he would naturally be able to grow.
Moreover, this time, the god that would appear would be a god that truly belonged to the murlocs!
For this, the murlocs needed to prepare a large number of sacrifices and find a suitable opportunity.
Of course, sacrifices were not a problem. The murlocs did not have much else, but they had a large population. If tens of thousands of murlocs died as sacrifices, the higher-ups of the murlocs would not even blink.
But the problem was the opportunity. The murlocs did not have a good reputation and they had many enemies. If they wanted to create a god that belonged to them, they would definitely be attacked by their enemies. Only by finding an opportunity that would attract the attention of their enemies, and no one would notice it, could they succeed.
And this time, the war that affected the entire Main Plane and involved almost all the races of God Systems was the best opportunity!
