Chapter 516 - 516: Retreat
The rules of the bottomless abyss dictate that the closer you are to the bottom, the larger the area of the plane.
The plane might be enormous, to say the least! How spectacular was it for such a rule to go all out in a fight?
If it weren’t for the fact that the Naga Plane couldn’t bear too much power and that the spatial rift was limited, the Lord of Decay might have sent his entire army.
As the fighting became intense, Su Wan and Xu Yuan were even more thrilled.
By the end of the third day, the system announced that the prophecy spell had disappeared and all the troops’ nests in the Death Swamp had been upgraded.
This meant that, as long as there was enough flesh and energy, the Death Swamp could directly recruit top-tier troops!
If Su Wan had to do that manually, it would have exhausted the territory’s resources! Now, it was all for free.
At the end of the long-lasting prophecy spell, instead of closing the gateway to the giant worm dimension and preventing the knights from entering the swamp, they silently watched the fight.
The Knight God refused to give up because he knew that the Crimson Eyes were here somewhere.
They had come too far and lost too many troops to back out now. All the effort and sacrifices would be in vain if they stopped fighting.
If they continued to fight, they could get the Crimson Eyes! The Knight God was determined to go all out.
On the other hand, the Lord of Decay didn’t care about casualties. His goal was to reclaim his stolen authority, and he would do so, come hell or high water!
The abyss didn’t lack demons. Death had no standing in such a realm.
In the deepest part of the bottomless abyss, countless worms were born every day, and these worms would eventually transform into various types of demons.
The abyss didn’t lack armies. If it weren’t for the restrictions, demons would have already occupied the entire world.
It was a war that left all the Lords speechless. It wasn’t until the sixth day that both sides noticed that something was amiss. The speed at which the armies advanced began to slow down. Soon, extraordinary heroes began to leave the swamp and proceed in other directions.
Moreover, this time, even the concealment of the God of Deception and Lies couldn’t hide the fact that these extraordinary heroes held treasures imbued with divine power.
The dimensional rifts were quickly discovered by these extraordinary heroes, much to Xu Yuan’s regret.
There was no longer any need for further manipulation. Xu Yuan had Su Wan bring out the statue of the Dwarf God. She asked for the Dwarf God’s help in clearing both sides from the place.
The Dwarf God immediately took action. The swamp emitted a majestic power, and the crimson mist illuminated the heavens and the earth. It seemed as though the place’s will had been restored, and it took control of the entire plane.
The space rift opened by the Lord of Decay and the rift to the giant worm dimension shattered and disappeared without a trace.
The extraordinary heroes sensed that something was amiss and promptly tore through the void to leave the area.
The Dwarf God allowed them to leave and then used the power of the swamp to clean up the entire plane, erasing all traces of the fight.
After that, the aura of the Dwarf God became much weaker.
The traces left behind by the Lord of Decay and the Knight God had been erased. They could no longer find this space.
“Dispose of the item in your hand as soon as possible.” The Dwarf God looked toward the void.
The Knight God wasn’t the only one who could use a prophecy spell. If other gods sent something powerful, he might not be able to help.
“I am grateful for your help, and the territory will never forget your contribution,” said Su Wan gratefully.
The Dwarf God didn’t say much and fell back into slumber once again.
Xu Yuan and Su Wan weren’t powerful enough to repay him right now.
“Lord Su Wan, has… has he recovered?” asked the God of deception and Lies.
The one who created this land was inside that tiny statue in Su Wan’s hands. Modric was astonished by it.
He recalled the ancient prophecy of someone who would open the doors to a new era.
“Lord Modric, the new world is opening its doors. When the new order is established, that existence will come out into the world,” said Su Wan.
“Next, we need to find more planes and raise the Death Swamp to Level 5. That will be your main task!”
After the two spatial rifts closed, both the Lord of Decay and the Knight Sect’s troops remained behind. They were still fighting, but some had wandered off to find an escape.
“Lord Modric, open the spaces of all the planes and let those armies in…”
Since the two gods weren’t fighting anymore, they could only rely on the ordinary troops from the other planes to nourish the swamp.
The spatial rifts to other planes were opened once again. The souls of these troops were still craving the golden fruits.
The remaining armies turned toward the center of the swamp.
The golden fruits hung on the branches of the Dark Withered Tree, beckoning the troops to have their fill.
The demons were the first to rush toward the golden fruits.
The evil creatures didn’t care about anything else except to become stronger. Their desire surpassed their sanity.
To everyone’s surprise, the knights displayed incredible resilience and resisted the temptation of the golden fruits.
In terms of willpower, the forces of the Light were far stronger than those of the forces of Evil.
It was only when the Lion of Greed made a move that the desire within them stirred. The war broke out to covet the golden fruits once again.
The extraordinary demons and the knights led the fight. The troops from the other planes couldn’t even get close.
Under the strong temptation, they joined forces to launch an attack on the demons and the knights. The two most powerful forces needed to be cleared out.
Immediately after, a frenzied fight erupted. The carnage was shocking.
The situation had returned to normal. Su Wan glanced at the Crimson Eyes.
After the Dwarf God’s reminder, Su Wan no longer dared to use the treasure as bait..
