While the battles in the sky at the limit of Aether's atmosphere were beyond amazing, the ones taking place on the ground were hundreds of tis more bloody. Millions of Wave Warriors and Wace Champions clashed with all their power, killing each other while keeping an eye above to avoid becoming collateral damage from the fight of the Wave Kings.
The war that began with the Great Cataclysm had not ceased for a single day, and the number of casualties on both sides was incalculable. The destruction had already leveled several sectors, and its flas covered the entire upper side of Gaia, displacing hundreds of millions of people to the Collapsing Lightning Sector, the only place where they could be safe from the grueling war.
Typically, a war of this level would only last for a short ti since the Godslayer Human Empire was not any weaker than the Inferno Daemon Empire, and they had the ho advantage. Unfortunately, while the cataclysm affected Gaia and Atlas, the Godslayer Human Empire's situation was way worse.
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
The capital constantly battled endless hordes of mutated beasts while the southern Sectors were in turmoil with hundreds of rogue organizations sowing chaos.
The Imperial Lightning Fort was strong, but there was a limit to the size of its force. Unfortunately, no matter how much reinforcent the Collapsing Lightning Duke requested, none ca.
Ultimately, the Collapsing Lightning Duke was forced to take leadership over this area of the empire and face the threat with his own hands and the help of people outside the Imperial Army.
The battle in the sky lasted for nearly five hours before the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the Void King put distance between them. Both were severely injured with broken bones and cuts that tore through muscles, yet their vitality did not weaken, making evident just how strong their bodies were.
After exchanging glances, the Collapsing Lightning Duke sent a signal, just as the Void King did, and both forces began to separate, from the True Titans in the highest sky to the Wave Warriors and Wave Champions on the ground.
Although the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the Void King could keep fighting, in their current condition, the next wound could be the final one, and without them, their armies would fall. That was a bet neither was willing to take.
The Godslayer Human Forces pulled back to the edge of the Zafiro Sector. At the sa ti, the Inferno Daemon Race forces retreated to the trinity dark towers at the center of the Sector, which could enhance their power and improve their healing speed.
The command center of the Inferno Daemon Invasion Force was located on the highest floor of the largest of the dark towers. Still, the ones with the highest authority were not mbers of the Abyssal Clan, Hell Clan, or the enigmatic Nether Clan.
The Void King, Blood King, Shadow King, and Soul King sat at an imposing table, with the first one taking the lead. On the side were ten mbers of the Inferno Daemon Race, all Divine Ascension Masters, but not any kind, as their power allowed them to gain the title of Gods among their race.
Many of those Gods couldn't help but clench their fists as they saw humans leading the entire force. Although, as with all races, the Inferno Daemon Race valued strength, the way these four behaved made every day a trial for these generals.
"General Casidius. It has beco clear that the way to the Collapsing Lightning Sector is blocked," said the Void King, making a mber of the Hell Clan step forward.
General Casidius' body was thin, yet imnse strength was hidden inside it, and the pressure of a million mountains seed to emanate from his Evolution Core.
"Yes, Void King. If we want to move to the center of the empire, the only plausible path is through the Collapsing Lightning Sector. Yet, it seems that our forces cannot overco our counterparts, and we have unfortunately reached a stalemate."
"¡BOOM!"
A blast echoed across the room as the Blood King slamd the table with rage.
"How could the Collapsing Lightning Duke and his forces mobilize so fast? We have worked in secrecy for years, yet they marched toward us from the beginning. We barely crossed the demilitarized zone and took over a few Sectors before they were in front of us!"
The Blood King's eyes were full of rage, but there was sothing else: a sense of chaos. Usually, one would think the Dark King was just emotional, but it was more than that. His current state of mind was none other than a Heart Nightmare, which erged over a year ago when he failed once again against a young man who had not even turned twenty.
It began small, but the feeling of insecurity in his mind and heart grew stronger by the day to the point that he could barely use the power of his Ego Wave Path of Power. That was why the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar had such an easy ti against the man and nearly severed his arm during their last fight.
"I have already told you. The Imperial Lightning Fort was organized in pursuit of revenge in the na of Cain Laurifer. It was just bad luck that such an event matched the start of the Great Cataclysm and the invasion."
"NO! It cannot be sothing so simple. I refuse to believe that the Collapsing Lightning Duke would have challenged the entire empire for that brat. It cannot happen!"
A sense of madness appeared in the Blood King as he shouted, and it was clear just how much distress the na of Cain Laurifer brought to his mind.
"Enough!"
The Void King shouted, silencing the Blood King before focusing again on Casidius.
"General Casidius. Since we cannot advance further, you will lead your troops to the adjacent Sectors on our flanks. You must destroy all infrastructure and eliminate everybody in your path. We will remain in this Trinity Tower Formation so the forces of the Collapsing Lightning Duke cannot push forward."
