Chapter 530: War of Hell (II)
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 times 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 flames 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 time since the Godslayer Human Empire was not any weaker than the Inferno Daemon Empire, and they had the home 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 reinforcement the Collapsing Lightning Duke requested, none came.
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.
"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 something 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 emerged 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 time 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 name 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 something 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 name 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."
