The battle ended far quicker than expected. Just as someone was planning to take everything for himself, the other Gods who had suffered losses unhesitatingly jumped out to viciously slap him in the face.
Just one month, or perhaps an entire month, was more than enough for these veteran Gods of Creation.
A golden fleet that could ignore lightning strikes, a God's incarnation with the Divine Concept of Storm, a simple mage tower that could absorb the power of lightning, and all sorts of trump cards had been used at once. Only now did the Gods realize that although everyone kept saying that they were powerless, they were actually hiding so many things … As for why they were hiding so many things, it was obvious.
From a certain standpoint, the Gods were all grateful to the Thunder Snake God who jumped out. Otherwise, if they really misjudged the situation and started fighting amongst themselves, who knew how many more losses they would have suffered?
Now that everyone knew that the Thunder Snake God had trump cards, they were all on good terms. It was just like how nuclear superpowers who wanted nothing more than to kill each other were now "friendly" with each other, this was truly something worth celebrating … Cough, cough, let's get back to the main topic and return to the battlefield.
The first to suffer was naturally the brave Dumbo, as well as the Thunder Snake God, who was a good target for the people.
"Sly humans! This is the same as what I said before … "
These were the Thunder Snake God's last words. It was basically a typical antagonist's last words. He probably never expected that the New Gods who were "helpless" against the Thunder Snake God would suddenly bring out so many trump cards.
Betrayers were even more detestable than enemies. More than seventy percent of the reinforcements unhesitatingly chose to attack the Thunder Snake God. And so, he instantly died … Anyone who was surrounded and attacked by more than one hundred powerful descenders, SemiGods, or Gods' incarnations would end up with the same result.
This also meant that one more descender from Team A was killed. However, Rorschach estimated that he probably wouldn't need Team A in the future … This was a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.
His opponent, the Thunder Beast God's army, wasn't even enough for the reinforcements who were thirsting for battle achievements. Even the Elemental Lord was destroyed on the spot.
That's right, it was destroyed. When the Elemental Lord's destructive power was greater than its regenerative power, and someone even brought out a dimensional separation technique to separate it from the Thunder Snake God's world, how long could an Elemental Lord that couldn't obtain the home field advantage possibly last?
But everyone knew that it was impossible to completely destroy it. After all, its physical body was made of lightning elements, and lightning elements were everywhere in that world. Without special preparations, it would be difficult to completely destroy it. Who knew when it would be revived there?
But what was fortunate was that the Elemental Lords hadn't exploded with the ridiculous combat strength of the Elemental Gods, all the way to the end. The Elemental Thrones that might have appeared in the information weren't found either, so the situation didn't worsen.
Although they didn't obtain any shocking results, and the existence of monsters like the Elemental Lord was still a threat to the new city, it had a huge impact on the entire plan … and a positive one at that.
That's right. Not only was the progress chart filled up, but it was also ahead of schedule.
The loss of an expert like the God of Thunder Serpents had indeed caused some impact. The research results and information of the God of Thunder Serpents and its church had become waste paper that no one dared to use or take over. However, with the loss of an expert, there were suddenly more than ten experts and the latest research results.
"Haha, our spatial technology has suddenly made a breakthrough!"
Yep, a sudden breakthrough in spatial technology that could restrain the existence of an Elemental Lord was truly amazing.
"… The Thunder Roc Divine Beast was just transferred here, and it just so happened to be in the middle of a major battle. It's truly quite lucky."
Wonderful, what a perfect coincidence. The reinforcements arrived just in time for a battle … Someone reported that they had heard an eagle's cry before they arrived? Or was that just a hallucination? Someone even reported that they had picked up a gigantic feather that contained lightning magic? That was definitely a sphinx with rechargeable wings!
"Lightning domain? Our God has a lightning domain? Haha, this is wonderful! Our God of Thunder Serpents has gained enlightenment on the battlefield! He actually obtained a new Divine Concept on the battlefield! "
This was going overboard … If a new God could level up on the battlefield, and even obtain a new Divine Concept on the spot, then what was there for us Descenders to do? Couldn't you find a more sincere reason?
"A mage tower that can absorb lightning? Oh, oh, that's … that's a pleasant surprise. Yep, we don't know why such an 'ordinary' mobile mage tower can suddenly be used in the lightning season! "
Yep, yep, even an "ordinary" mage tower could absorb lightning as an energy source, and then use non-lightning magic to attack. As expected of a professional from the Cloud Tower.
All sorts of reasons and excuses that sounded incredibly ridiculous and convincing but contained far too many coincidences were brought up. Of course, nobody took them seriously, but nobody would expose them.
Still, it would be impossible to take back all these techniques and trump cards.
And so, these techniques and trump cards were all used in the construction of the new city. This was also why Rorschach felt that there was no need for a group of Descenders to exist.
The fleet that could ignore the lightning storm was now transporting materials and manpower back and forth. Their transportation capacity was at least one hundred times greater than before. The timely replenishment of materials and manpower also naturally sped up the construction progress.
Spatial technology that could temporarily block out lightning allowed the experts in important areas to take off their cumbersome anti-lightning magic armor and efficiently carry out detailed construction work.
Even the gigantic Thunder Eagle that could ignore the lightning storm was now not only the best crane, it was also capable of controlling and chasing away any nearby lightning beasts.
The greatest harvest of all was the small-scale mobile mage towers that the mages had "just" started researching (specifically for use by the Lightning Family). These towers could absorb lightning as an energy source. Not only could they move and summon lightning elemental workers, they could also use earth magic to build walls … Now, Perpetual Moon Town was going all out to construct these small-scale mage towers that were only three stories tall. The mages and engineers inside the towers were then transported to the city walls by the fleet and the Thunder Eagle to be used as support points.
Even the Thunderbolt series anti-lightning magic armor that had been progressing for so long had undergone two upgrades in just one short week … All sorts of new components had appeared, and the improvements in various aspects were incalculable.
There was no need to hide any of the trump cards that had been exposed. Since the success rate of the new city's construction was already high enough, the most important thing was to obtain as many contribution points as possible.
The "kind" Lightning Serpent had also used its life to give everyone a warning and sense of danger. In order to prevent a second Lightning Serpent from appearing, and in order to prevent the Main Gods from becoming ambitious, speeding up the construction progress became the top priority that the Gods couldn't express.
And so, the construction progress that was originally supposed to be behind by forty days was actually ahead of schedule after one and a half months of frantically rushing work. Before the lightning storm even reached its end, the main body of Vila Nova Dônia had already been completed.
As soon as the lightning storm ended, the first batch of residents would be able to move in.
