Chapter 439: Chapter 149

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Flames were raging, and the sea of fire was endless.

At first glance, what people could see was only burning flames. Up and down, far and near, in all directions, there was a sea of fire that was filled with flames everywhere.

Sui Xiong had once ignited raging flames before, and he had used the firepower to produce the mass-produced Oracle troops. However, compared to the flames that he ignited this time, the flames he had ignited before was just a small joke.

Just from the perspective of the range, the flames that had been ignited before was at most within a range of 100 miles. However, this time, the range of the sea of fire was more than 1,000 miles, and it was still expanding.

This time, Sui Xiong was determined to play his trick to the end; it was called the Burning Army. He released flames madly. He almost wrapped his entire God’s Kingdom with flames, and the flames were constantly spreading.

Seeing this scene, all the evil gods changed their facial expressions. The ones who were standing in the front couldn’t help but retreat a few steps.

Of course, they were not afraid of fire, but they all knew that there were countless horrible things hidden in the sea of fire.

Although those things wouldn’t be able to kill them, it was better to be far away from them. As commanders, it was also conducive to mastering the battle situation when they kept a distance from the front line.

The evil gods were good at finding reasons, so they found the right excuse very quickly. They summoned more Oracles and gathered them into a group that seemed like the vast ocean. The Oracles rushed toward the endless sea of fire. Moreover, the evil gods retreated a little further. At the same time, they also commanded the Oracles carefully without showing any trace that they were scared.

The God of Fear didn’t care about their small tricks. He looked at the countless Oracles under the command of the evil gods coldly and saw them rushing into the sea of fire. The Oracles were fighting with the strange creatures that were born continuously inside the sea of fire. The Oracles won, or were defeated, or died together with some of those creatures. Then, countless Oracles would follow the previous ones without a pause.

Therefore, the God of Fear smiled slightly.

Although he wasn’t good at battlefield command, he could judge the current situation with his amazing eyesight.

The Oracles of the Void Mask in the sea of fire were increasing, but their speed of increasing couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the evil gods summoned their Oracles.

This meant that it was beneficial to his own side to fight a war of attrition.

In fact, this was almost a matter, of course. Nearly 100 evil gods gathered on his side. The formation was so powerful that it was surprising. In contrast, Sui Xiong only used his own power to summon a mighty army that could fight directly with the subordinates owned by nearly a hundred gods. That was really scary.

At least, after witnessing this war, many gods had secretly included the Void Mask, the God of Development and Progress who hadn’t determined his priesthood officially, into the ranks of the great Divine Powers.

Power didn’t rely on others’ praises, nor on bragging, but rather on people’s own strength. The Void Mask showed the power that was comparable to the strength of the great Divine Powers in this battle. He should be positioned to the status that conformed to his strength.

In the world of gods, there were no idiots who acted like snobs and habitually asked others to beat them. Among the strongmen who could become gods, there would be a few whose brains were not normal, but there were no true fools.

Let alone others, only the evil gods who had been called together by order of the God of Fear had shown considerable calm and reason. They firmly grasped the advantage that they owned more people, so they didn’t take risks resolutely. They relied on this advantage to slowly consume Sui Xiong to death.

Of course, Sui Xiong could tell what they meant, but for a time he had no good way to deal with it.

It seemed great that one person could defeat one hundred people, but in fact, the one person needed overwhelming and absolute strength. If he had no such strength, he would have to strike the morale of the enemies to make them feel hopeless and escape, and then he could win. If enemies didn’t run away and kept fighting bravely, then even if he was a really powerful person, he would have only one way that led to death.

The gap between the combat ability of tigers and the combat ability of dogs was big enough, right? However, if there were hundreds of trained hounds under the command of hunters, they could kill a tiger. If a tiger didn’t escape after seeing hundreds of hounds rushing over, the intelligence of that tiger would be really low. If such a tiger died early, it would help improve the average intelligence level of its race.

People followed that principle more seriously. For example, Hero Xiang Yu killed hundreds of enemies before he died. That was a story written by an official historian when his romantic factors asked him to be a literary artist. Everyone knew that it was an impossible story. On the contrary, the episode of when the leader broke his cup as a signal, and 300 executioners rushed into the tent was always scary for any fierce generals to imagine.

Of course, Sui Xiong was very strong. If he fought one-on-one battles, among the hundreds of evil gods that had been called together, no more than one-tenth of them could resist his attacks. Only one or two at most could fight with him. If those enemies stood in line to fight him one by one, he was confident all of the hundreds of evil gods would be seriously injured. Even if their mothers were here, they wouldn’t be able to recognize their sons!

However, those hundreds of evil gods set up a team, and they acted like that they were going to fight against the final boss in a big dungeon. Therefore, Sui Xiong couldn’t stand it.

He was so disadvantaged! In those difficult dungeons, the final boss at the end of the game would generally fight with 40 people. However, he had to fight with 100 enemies!

A dungeon of 40 people and a dungeon of 100 people were totally different!

The guy who wrote this script, come out. I promise I won’t kill you! Sui Xiong complained secretly in his heart, but he didn’t dare to stop his attacks. He tried hard to enhance the flames.

He knew that he himself couldn’t really defeat 100 enemies. He wasn’t very arrogant, so he didn’t believe that he could defeat the entire Alliance of Evil Gods all by himself. However, in the face of so many enemies, he still couldn’t help but try to do his best and see where his limits were.

“Auscar, do you need help?” Javier shouted behind Sui Xiong. “At least, I have a few Oracles.”

Sui Xiong smiled. With his tentacle shaping like a thumb toward his back, Sui Xiong said, “Don’t worry, I can still hold out, and the situation is not bad now.”

“Don’t fight alone. After all, you can be regarded as the leader of our alliance!” Leonard said with a smile. “If you don’t mind, let us spend some efforts too, okay?”

Sui Xiong couldn’t help but laugh happily. He said, “Don’t worry. When I’m really straining, I will ask you to help me!”

In other words, he didn’t feel strained yet.

Although the mass-produced Oracle troops on his side couldn’t resist the enemies anymore, and they were slowly retreating, Sui Xiong always thought that he still had a way to deal with it. The situation was far from the degree of him needing to ask for assistance.

While stimulating his Divine Power, he continued to enhance the flames while looking around to find the opportunities for victory.

After a while, his eyes lit up. He finally thought of a solution.

“Right! Who said that I could only set a fire outside the God’s Kingdom!”

Clapping his tentacles, Sui Xiong laughed. He used his Divine Power to set raging flames in the void that was close to the outer barrier in the interior of the God’s Kingdom.

“What?” Morani asked questioningly. “What are you doing?”

“Supplementing my strength,” Sui Xiong said with a smile.

As he spoke, countless of mass-produced Oracles appeared in the sea of fire inside the God’s Kingdom. They completely ignored the barrier of the God’s Kingdom, and they easily crossed through the barrier. They went to the sea of fire outside and quickly joined the front line.

With the joining of this new force, the mass-produced Oracles who were slowly retreating outside finally stabilized their battle line. The battle became one of tug-of-war once again.

“How is this possible?!” the evil gods who were commanding the battle couldn’t believe their eyes. “How come the enemies have increased so suddenly?”

This was totally unreasonable. The sea of fire released by the Void Mask was just that large. Therefore, the total number of Oracles that could be nurtured in the sea of fire at the same time was that big also. How could the number suddenly increase so much?

They soon found that some particularly powerful individuals appeared among the Oracles of the Void Mask.

They were naturally the Oracles of the elite level. He had been busy with enhancing the flames, so he hadn’t had spare power to summon them before. However, when he ignited the sea of fire inside the God’s Kingdom now, it was much easier to summon them here.

With them as the core of the battle, the mass-produced Oracles would enhance their combat abilities more, and they could stabilize the situation. Moreover, they slowly moved the battle line toward the outer side.

At this time, the advantages of the Burning Army were revealed. As long as the front line moved forward, the sea of fire could spread forward, igniting all the wreckage on the battlefield and then turning them into fuel for the sea of fire. Because of that, the flames could burn more vigorously, and the mass-produced Oracles who were nurtured inside were also stronger and more in number.

Just like snowballing, as long as it began, it would roll down, turning bigger and bigger until it couldn’t be stopped!

Looking at the battle line that was gradually moving forward, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but smile.

If the evil gods didn’t hurry to think of a solution, the victory of this positional warfare would belong to him!
