Chapter 116 Wife, You Always Manage to Come Up with New Tricks_2
"My beasts, my kin, I command you to immediately annihilate this city, devour the humans within, and extinguish the Sacred Flame of the New Gods!"
"Roar~~!"
High-pitched, excited roars came from all directions as tens of thousands of Magic Beasts and giants crossed the ravaged battlefield and surged towards the wide-open Thessaly.
Since Luo En's small world no longer existed, and he along with the other nine Chief Gods were detained by Divine King Kronos and his nine Titan Main Gods, they could only watch helplessly as the Beast Tide and the Giant Spirit Clan's forces approached Thessaly City.
At that moment, two graceful figures flew from the near sea of Thessaly to the broken walls, raising their arms in a chant towards the monsters streaming towards the breach.
"You, the embodiment of chaotic desire!"
Mechanical God Venus waved her hand, casting a pink fog over the horde, unleashing her Authority.
Embedded within, myriad mechanical insects burrowed into the Magic Beasts' bodies, releasing pheromones that clouded their minds, making the already dim-witted creatures mistake their own kind for enemies, starting to mate and bite each other frenziedly.
"Offerings of poetry and wine, forgiveness with Light!"
On the other side, Goddess of Youth Hebei, dressed in the Sacred Robe of Aquarius, raised the golden cup in her hand, splashing the crimson wine into the air. The radiance of the stars, refracted through the wine, turned into streams of Aether Light Flow, piercing the chests of the giants, granting them the Light of "Forgiveness."
Although both were exerting their utmost efforts, the damage they inflicted was extremely limited against the vast number of immortals among the giants and Magic Beast army.
Soon, the Magic Beasts and giants, brushing off the Deities' Authority, flooded into Thessaly.
"People of Thessaly, rise up!"
A high-pitched cry echoed, almost hysterical.
One by one, Soldiers, covered in wounds and dust, rose from the ruins, gazing up at the figure standing at the breach, brandishing a sword.
It was their king—Admetos.
The youth monarch, his Bronze Armor halved by cuts, stood immovable in the face of the monstrous wave, raising his bloodied arm, his sword pointing toward the still-scorching battlefield of the gods.
"Brethren, our Deities are still fighting for us, our hearts are still beating, we have not lost yet!"
The City Defenders, upon hearing this, all looked up and outward.
On that ravaged battlefield, the priests of Delphi and the Divine Blood Guard of Sparta saw Light God Apollo, wielding a golden sword, fiercely battling God of the Heavenly Bodies Coeus, the Golden Blood flowing continuously from their wounds;
the hunters of Calydon and the archers of Arcadia saw Goddess of the Hunt Artemis, straining her Longbow to intercept Goddess of Light Phoebe, her fingers worn raw by the bowstring;
the female warriors of Amazon saw Father God Ares, engaged in a bloody battle with God of Light Hyperion, the surrounding lands scorched for tens of miles;
the believers of Eleusis and the magicians of the Hermes Trismegistus Sector saw Agriculture God Demeter and Hermes, the God of Speed, each restraining Time Goddess Rhea and God of Weather Crius, their divine lights dimming;
and the Pegasus Knights of Athens and the Academy Mages saw Dionysus raising the Gun of Nation Creation, firmly restraining Titan King Kronos outside the city, wounds multiplying on his body...
Atop the ruins, King Thessaly, his sword falling, unleashed a voice cracked with exertion,
"The Gods are with us!"
"Glory is with us!"
"Victory is with us!"
"We humans, how can we let our faith be sullied!"
"— armies, attack!"
The humans from various states, their blood boiling, their expressions wild, cried out in unison.
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
In their dire situation, Human Warriors raised their weapons, following behind their young monarch, crossing the defenseless wall ruins like ferocious beasts stirred to frenzy, baring their claws and fangs at the swarming monsters, launching a savage and vicious counterattack.
Against this human-formed counterflow, the surging monster wave was forcefully contained.
Even more, after successfully breaking through the monsters' onslaught, figures bathed in fresh blood continued striding forward, crossing ruins, crossing beasts, crossing Deities, like sharp spikes brutally drilling into the hearts of the Magical Creatures' army, causing their entire formation to start distorting.
At this moment, the rising humans, with their flesh and blood bodies, accomplished feats comparable to the Deities!
In this era, human life was as humble as weeds.
In this era, humans shone like stars!
"Trash! All trash!"
Seeing his giant spirits and magic beasts army being repelled by those he perceived as mere "humans," Cronus could no longer contain his anger and immediately awakened the commanding authority, transmitting orders to the nine leading Titan Main Gods.
"Gods, crush these vermin!"
However, a burning, branch-like spear sent Cronus flying. Luo En glanced at the "King Thessaly" leading the charge of the human warriors, as well as Hippolyta, Hebei, and Venus, guarding her sides, understanding everything.
It must be said, his lawful wife always managed to bring him some fresh tricks.
Though it was a temporary measure, it ultimately eased their concerns for the moment.
Catching a look at the human alliance constantly pushing forward the front line behind him, Luo En, holding the Gun of Nation Creation, struck the base of the spear on the ground, looked proudly at his own Chief Gods on the battlefield, and began to speak.
"What defines the Divine Beings? More pride than humans! More desire than humans! More bravery than humans!"
Thereupon, the allied commander, both human and god, pointed his spear forward and erupted with a heaven-shaking shout.
"We, proud Divine Beings, shall not let humans lead the charge!"
"Indeed!"
"Indeed!"
"Indeed!"
The Gods of Olympus displayed their arrogance, laughed heartily, naturally puffed out their chests, and moved towards the nine struggling Titan Main Gods.
On the fiercely contested battlefield, shadows interwove and stepped forward together, indistinguishably blending humans and the gods.
"Mad, you're all mad!"
Watching the self-degrading spirits before him, Cronus twisted his face in anger and immediately let out a deafening roar.
"These are calamities! All forces, eliminate these human scum, spare none!"
Under the sway of supreme authority, the giant spirits and magic beasts with blood-red eyes pounced towards the human alliance.
Due to the transfer of power from the Netherworld and many Divine Blood Heroes joining the Argo expedition, the human side's combat strength was severely lacking.
Although they managed to firmly resist the giants and magic beasts' onslaughts, they could not defend the permeable Thessaly City.
Numerous monsters, unable to gnaw through the hard bone of the city outskirts, simply bypassed the formation of the human alliance and maneuvered their way into Thessaly City, heading straight for the central Great Temple.
There, rich divinity flowed, and the precious Sacred Flame burned, like a table filled with delicacies.
Seeing more and more magic beasts and giant spirits storming toward the Thessaly Great Temple, the humans and gods fighting outside, despite their urgency, couldn't spare their forces.
Just as the surging wave of magical creatures tore through the defensive charms around the plaza and was about to flood into the temple, a sharp whistling sound exploded in the sky.
Following that, a huge golden-green Magic Circle Diagram appeared above the temple, and an enforcing wave of magic power conjured thousands of Light Arrows, densely targeting the magic beasts and giant spirits stepping onto the plaza.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud!"
In the continuous piercing noise, hundreds of magic beasts and giant spirits were nailed dead on the spot.
Before the monsters could react, four figures clad in gold and bronze armor, chanting Divine Words and wrapped in the furious Ether Light Flow, crashed into their ranks.
"Burn, my golden wings!"
"At this sacrifice, Dual Gods Hymn!"
"Golden Arrow, starlight!"
At that moment, the giant spirits and magic beasts at the front of the plaza were like hitting four meat grinders, brutally plowed open, leaving ground scattered with chunks of flesh.
The monsters, terrified, hastily circumvented the four fierce stars at the front, trying to burst into the Great Temple from the side.
But a figure in golden armor, of unparalleled beauty, stood at the entrance of the Great Temple, hands joined in prayer, making a devout invocation.
"Show me as the god of righteousness, respond to me when I call, I wish with this body, to cherish all beings!"
The pure and powerful force of faith transformed into a dazzling light sword, evenly distributing the "Divine Compassion" to the advancing magical creatures.
At this moment, Luo En on the battlefield felt a sensation and looked towards the city, responding to the six beams of light connected with the stars, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
The final preparations had finally arrived in time.
