CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 423: A PERILOUS JOURNEY AHEAD

...

"Damn it, let’s go!"

The death of Maler led to the Star Beast King, which had been tossed around in the cosmic storm like a ball, making a brief appearance before being swiftly pulled back to its original location by the spatial laws.

Enraged, Niersela would certainly not care about such trivial matters.

Muscles under his armpit writhed.

His skin, streaming with divine blood, suddenly split open, and from within, a new pair of slime-covered arms emerged, instantly transforming him into the four-armed Giant God Titan.

Empowered by the Power Law, he disregarded spatial distance and with one grab, created four spatial coffins. Under the terrifying force, all the creatures enveloped could only meet their demise by bursting apart...

A burst of blood-red fireworks suddenly blossomed in the deep gray cosmic storm.

Wizard’s blood exploded in clusters.

Their speed was not any slower than the Giant God Titans previously obliterated by the cosmic storm...

The situation changed so quickly it was staggering.

Especially for Donomba of the Dark Wing, who felt extremely unlucky, and even thought the Silver Star Controller was even more foolish than him.

He couldn’t help but bellow.

"Are you retarded? Attack him! Cover the elites and retreat!"

But Star Summoner·Maler’s fate was a lesson to all.

Let alone the Controller not daring to stop Niersela, Star Spirit Friend·Mons Tan was the fastest runner, having already been far from the center of the battlefield.

He was about to run out of the storm’s range now.

"Damn it."

Donomba cursed quietly; he had no wish to stop Niersela either, after all, it was not the offspring of the Five-Colored Dragon, and it had nothing to do with him.

One word—"Flee!"

The bloody massacre lasted only three minutes before it ended as all the wizards escaped the storm area.

The severe casualties in just three minutes resulted in an 80% loss of manpower. Gazing at the mere handful of Holy Spirit Wizards that remained, the Silver Star Controller’s face was utterly dark.

Because of a moment’s greed, not retreating in time,

He sacrificed the accumulation of tens of thousands of years of the Silver Star lineage; more than sixty Holy Spirit Wizards were now reduced to barely a dozen, and all of them were relatively strong...

The weaker ones probably blew up without a trace, and even Crimson Wizard·Doras that he had high hopes for was gone, who was the future founder of the Crimson Sect.

This one instance of greed wiped out both the present and the future.

It was far worse than the losses suffered by the Ice Plateau Lineage during the civil war, almost equating to losing eight out of ten...

What should they do now?

As the wizards contemplated their next move.

In the original coordinates of the Sagittarius Star System.

Inside the cosmic storm.

After the frenzy ended, Niersela fell into extreme weakness. The sharp winds stripped his flesh, leaving only a bare skeleton and innards like grounded meat.

Enduring the erosion of the storm’s forces, and after forcibly slaughtering so many powerful wizards, Niersela was no invincible being. The damage he sustained would require thousands of years of slumber to recover.

Seizing the moment while the wizards were still disoriented, and before his will succumbed to unconsciousness,

Niersela whispered.

"Quick, take the pre-arranged retreat path, return to the Titan Divine Domain."

Clearly, just one battle.

The wizard’s counterattack had already been too much for him to bear, with fewer and fewer Giant God Titans remaining, and their reproduction rate slower than the migration of tectonic plates.

It would take a million years to recover the climate.

With such splendid battle results, even if he withdrew from the battlefield early, surely God King·Uranos would have no complaints, as the enemy’s high-end combat power was almost completely eradicated by him.

Next, he only needed to send those races that had pledged allegiance to the Titan Divine Domain to attack.

Niersela’s kin were not belligerent either.

Though many of their tribe had died, inciting great anger, much of it had been released under the slaughter of the Giant God King; now, their king’s well-being was of greater importance.

A few guards, with a touch of reluctance, said.

"Retreat!"

Over forty invaders from the Divine Domain retreated after inflicting mutual damage...

Soon news of a great victory in the Silver Star Domain, annihilating the enemy legion, was released, spreading throughout the entire wizard civilization via the Magic Net.

It was the first victory since the beginning of the wizard and titan war.

It was also the first good news after the tri-front collapse, with far-reaching impact.

Although our losses were not publicized, it shifted from a situation of overwhelming advantage to a counterattack, greatly boosting the public’s confidence.

It seemed the titans were not the invincible foes we imagined.

Little did they know that the high ranks of Silver Star line were nearly wiped out.

This was already half a month after that battle.

Corona Main Star.

At the Supreme Council meeting.

Golden Chairman himself sat in the chief seat, the other twelve came as projections, tied up by the frontline warfare and unable to move, aside from them, it was the first time non-supreme Holy Spirit Peaks were allowed to participate.

For instance: Black Sky Great Wing·Donomba!

This Black Dragon King with Abyss bloodline was bitterly complaining, explaining the whole process clearly, not forgetting to belittle the foolish commander, Silver Star Controller.

This caused the projection of the Silver Star Controller to flicker, nearly extinguished by the emotional fluctuations.

The projection of Abnormal Blood Saint showed no expression.

The icy gaze seemed capable of piercing through the spatial distance, stabbing directly at Silver Star Controller, causing him to feel a choking sensation.

Of course, this was purely psychological.

Immortals did not possess such majestic power...

"At first, I too thought this was a grand victory, but in reality, it was nothing more than lies spread by the ignorant masses."

"Silver Star, you’ve disappointed me."

As a senior and an immortal, Abnormal Blood Saint’s status in the Truth Council became even more aloof, and the high-standing Silver Star Controller was not accustomed to this manner of speaking.

He weakly retorted,

"The Giant God Titan legion has also been almost completely annihilated, it counts as a pyrrhic victory..."

"No, this was a disastrous defeat!"

Abnormal Blood Saint’s projection shook its head, displaying a segment of footage.

It showed the Thousand Island Star Domain, where Titan God King·Uranos led the gods into attack.

In the footage, the newly immortal Abnormal Blood Saint was completely overpowered by Uranos, managing to resist only with a willingness to embrace death.

The gods under Uranos inflicted devastating damage on the wizards, leaving all positions lost wherever they passed!

"Knowing that our strength was limited, preserving the living forces to fully annihilate the enemy was the best choice."

"If you had not rushed for quick success, the forty Holy Spirits who survived could have joined the Thousand Island Battlefield, providing strong support!"

"Perhaps your mistake will be the turning point of the wizards’ failure..."

"How is that possible!"

Silver Star Controller argued disagreeably.

"Without me, the Giant God Titans would still be rampaging in the Silver Star Domain!"

"But that was the weakest battlefield!"

"When you joined the Supreme Council, it was with near invincible strength in your realm, how could you have... after serving as a Supreme Wizard for so many years, already abandoned the art of combat?"

"Exactly... that Giant God Titan King·Niersela clearly was in a state of outburst; if we’d just weathered that phase, annihilating them was also possible."

Black Sky Great Wing·Donomba seized the opportunity to chime in.

He was quite annoyed with Silver Star Controller, who lacked the confidence of the strong.

Regardless of the council’s outcome, the loss of a large quantity of top-tier strength meant that support would be few and far between, if not entirely absent.

And the other side could regroup and attack at any moment...

The crisis has not diminished but grown even larger; meanwhile, far away in the Titan Divine Domain, Lin Suo, upon receiving the message from Theresa, nearly leapt up to curse.

He was afraid that the Truth Council wouldn’t hold out and would act impulsively; a win was one thing, but he dreaded a loss or a costly victory. With a simple thought, he knew that the Silver Star Domain would face a far more terrible assault!

The war of attrition Lin Suo was hoping for seemed to be out of the question...
