Chapter 799: The Divine Throne Battle Begins

"The words are unclear, full of loopholes, and using revenge as a cover is extremely inadequate. My suggestion is to just ignore it!"

Sissoko directly handed down a conclusion. It was clear that Li Yu's nonsense reasoning hadn't convinced him.

"But the battle for the Thirteenth Divine Throne has indeed entered its final stage. If we don't take any action soon, the plan will completely collapse." Loren offered a different opinion, starting from another angle.

"No matter what his goal is, the Council ultimately requires us to make a trip. Not to mention, he mentioned the Divine Forging Master and the Old Ones..."

This sentence made everyone reveal thoughtful expressions. After Mozambique was silent for a moment, he said:

"There is one thing I still can't figure out. Do you guys think Li Yu or the Other-Dimensional Camp knows about Xia En's infiltration plan or not?"

"It's hard to say..." Deluo said uncertainly: "According to normal analysis, it's impossible for them to be completely unaware."

"But everyone knows that the existence form of the Other-Dimensional Camp is very peculiar. They almost never appear in the Main Universe, nor do they have an intelligence network laid out externally."

"Under these circumstances, even if they have speculations, I'm afraid they don't know the specific situation."

Since they couldn't find anything, it meant the other party truly wasn't operating in the Main Universe.

Analyzing it through this situation, it was also possible that Li Yu was unaware of Xia En's infiltration plan.

"You guys only ever think of the best-case scenarios. When an unexpected situation arises, it will be too late to be surprised." Sissoko scoffed at everyone's good mentality, saying:

"Let's analyze this under the assumption that he has already learned the truth of Xia En's infiltration, and that Xia En might even be in his hands!"

"Under these circumstances, why would he want to cooperate with us?"

"Uh..." Everyone blanked out for a moment, not saying anything, and began Brainstorming.

"If he learned the truth about Xia En's infiltration, and holds Xia En in his hands, his goal is also the Supreme Forge."

"Then he has to let Xia En ascend the Divine Throne. The problem is that Xia En is still currently missing."

After analyzing for just a few sentences, the clues broke off.

"Then what if he has a way to bypass the Authority restrictions of the Divine Throne..." Sissoko frowned and added.

"Uh..." Everyone Looked at Each Other in Dismay. You are being too unreasonable. Why don't you just say Li Yu is already invincible, and everyone should consider what surrendering posture is best.

Loren interrupted: "This kind of analysis is too forced. The Divine Throne Prototype was given by the Divine Forging Master, and the subsequent forging was done by us."

"How could he have a way to bypass the Authority restrictions?"

"Alright..." Sissoko thought for a moment and also felt it was outrageous, changing his tune: "Then let's assume he has already cooperated with the Divine Forging Master. This way they could bypass the Authority restrictions."

"Then in that case, he's probably terrified that we might notice." Loren said indifferently: "With Xia En in their hands, as long as they support their own people to ascend the Divine Throne, they can directly obtain the Supreme Forge."

"Our participation in it would only add variables."

Sissoko paused, his expression somewhat ugly. Analyzing back and forth, he analyzed himself into a corner.

"Hmph, his motives are definitely impure." Sissoko said firmly.

"Of course I know..." Loren added: "Cooperating with him doesn't necessarily mean helping him."

"If the Divine Forging Master really left behind some backdoors, then everything we've done would all become a wedding dress for him."

"Once those Councilors obtain the Supreme Forge, and the Source Matter bears the Divinity Core, they can instantly walk out of the God Council, and the Empire's demise will be imminent."

"Moreover, if any danger really arises, perhaps we can borrow their Strength."

Loren's words spoke into the hearts of the few people, and they nodded one after another.

Seeing that their opinions were largely unified, The Emperor spoke: "After the meeting ends, contact him and agree to cooperate."

"The God Council is different from other places, it is not suitable for a large-scale fleet. Only the few members of the High Echelon will go."

"Understood." Everyone nodded.

…………

The Star Glory Empire agreeing to cooperate did not exceed Li Yu's expectations.

Essentially, the cooperation was just an excuse. His main goal was simply to reveal that the Divine Forging Master was no longer reliable.

To prevent the Star Glory Empire from having the thought of "Anyway, the Authority is in our hands, none of you can get the Divine Throne's acknowledgment, at worst everyone Gains Nothing".

Once they suspected the Divine Forging Master, they definitely wouldn't be able to sit still, and would head to the Council no matter what, to watch this Divine Throne Battle.

Only, just as Li Yu was closing the message page, Claptrap suddenly jumped out, saying: "Master, Miss Sinai just sent a communication. Ron and Josel found some strange things again."

"Huh?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised. Hadn't the previous lesson made those two guys restrain themselves a bit?

For something to be called a "strange thing" by those two guys who had already seen "the big world," it definitely wasn't simple.

Li Yu browsed a portion of the video in the brief message. In a certain remote Star System, they discovered a special Wormhole. Not knowing where it led to, they experimented for a long time without getting a result.

"Tell them I'm temporarily busy right now, and I'll go take a look after some time," Li Yu replied. Right now he definitely didn't have the time to run so far to see some Wormhole.

"Yes." Claptrap responded, having already noted this matter down in the memo at the same time.

…………

About ten days later, another strong competitor for the Divine Throne, the God of Hellfire, was killed by the God of Great Strength.

The battle for the Divine Throne officially entered the final circle.

On this day, throughout the entire God Council, no matter where one was, they could see the thirteen Divine Thrones suspended in the sky.

Each Divine Throne appeared simple and mysterious, as if forged from Obsidian, yet flashing with a silver-white radiance.

Among them, twelve Divine Thrones had special insignias, displaying their current masters. Only one Divine Throne was completely empty, without any markings whatsoever.

The rules for an ownerless Divine Throne were completely different. A Divine Spirit wanting to ascend the Divine Throne needed to leave their own Divinity Core Aura on it.

The Divine Throne would screen those with sufficient qualifications. When only five Divine Spirits remained, or even less, the Divine Throne Battle would begin.

That is, a head-on clash. The one who wins can become the master of the Divine Throne.

It was equivalent to a no-rules five-person arena match.

It was bound to be filled with schemes and calculations, cooperation and backstabbing... The one having the last laugh might not necessarily be the strongest.

The main battlefield was in the depths of the Starry Sky. The thirteen Divine Thrones joined forces to create an "isolation zone."

Unless one had the ability to face the thirteen Divine Thrones head-on, no one could interfere in this area.

This Divine War was enough to be recorded in the history of the God Council because the duration was too short, even less than five years.

The main reason was because this Thirteenth Divine Throne completely shifted the goal of the Divine War away from the Councilors.

And in the later stages of the Divine Throne Battle, the pace was noticeably accelerated for some unknown reason.

Someone was pushing from behind, wanting to conclude this matter as soon as possible.

Quite a few Divine Spirits came to watch the fun. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with them, and witnessing the birth of the thirteenth Councilor was also quite meaningful.

Of course, those who came were all Faith Avatars. Various colors of Divine Spirit radiance filled the entire Star Sector, and the sound of chanting penetrated straight into the soul.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was still the center, where twelve phantom images of Divine Spirits reaching the heavens and earth, like twelve giants, surrounded the "arena," looking down on everything within.

…………

A certain nearby Star Sector...

"Undoubtedly, Mo Duo will definitely be besieged. I have already vaguely observed a massive amount of fate entangling around Mo Duo." The Venerable of Fate flickered continuously like a nebula.

"I have already tried my best to accelerate the Divine Throne Battle, hoping to catch the other party Caught off guard, but looking at it now, the other party's primary target is still the God of Death."

"This indicates they have already discovered certain truths and have united."

Hearing this, Li Yu, who was beside him, didn't have much change in expression, saying: "I believe in Mo Duo."

"Those are four enemies of the same tier. The other party's preparations definitely aren't small either." The Venerable of Fate wasn't optimistic about this.

He didn't hold much hope for this cooperation, it was merely an attempt.

He had already noticed someone secretly uniting various Councilors. Li Yu's Identity was very sensitive, giving the plan too many inherent problems.

But he didn't worry about himself. As a Councilor, even if the plan failed, he still had room to maneuver.

Li Yu didn't say much else, merely saying: "As long as you can be sure that this so-called 'Throne Barrier' truly cannot be broken by anyone to disrupt the battle for the Divine Throne, then it's fine."

The misty starlight fog beside him condensed into a deep purple figure about the same height as him, with dazzling stars flickering on the surface.

"Of course..." He said: "No one can break the combined barrier of the thirteen Divine Thrones."

"Then that's fine..." Li Yu shifted his gaze back to the vast Star Sector covered by the barrier.

The thirteen Divine Thrones were equivalent to the control console of the God Council, possessing unmatched power. A single Councilor couldn't control this kind of power.

Figures flickered and emerged. They were exactly the last five people of the Divine Throne Battle, as well as their Holy Disciple armies.

Under the Councilor of War -- "God of Great Strength"

Under the Solar Councilor -- "God of Stars"

Under the Nightmare Councilor -- "God of the Undead"

Under the Divine Forging Master -- "God of Cast Iron"

Under the Councilor of Fate -- "God of Death"

There wasn't a single Neutral Deity; all were capable subordinates under the Councilors.

They possessed the best resources. They lacked neither Holy Disciples nor Believers.

Behind everyone followed a large number of Holy Disciples. Their life tier was very high, all specially configured for them by the major Councilors.

And only Holy Disciples who had Faith in them could be brought in.

In the Divine Throne Battle, Holy Disciples of this tier could still play a little role.

Other Ordinary Believers were merely Cannon Fodder, no need to bring them.

………

Within the Throne Barrier, Mo Duo looked around. She could clearly sense four streams of killing intent locked onto her.

She would be besieged!

This thought surfaced in her mind, but she didn't feel any surprise.

This was what Li Yu had already warned her about, and had given her some things to deal with this kind of situation.

Previously, she was hidden by the Venerable of Fate, and almost no one could find her. But with the advent of the Divine Throne Battle, she could not continue to hide, and had to face this battle directly.

"Everyone, the Councilors behind us have already notified us, right." The God of Great Strength crossed his arms. His skin was light gold, his muscles ferocious, and his tone indifferent.

There were rumors that he was a Divine Descendant of the God of War, and his inherent Strength was extremely formidable.

"Naturally. First clean up the person who shouldn't exist." The God of Stars had several miniature planets orbiting his body.

"The Council's Divine Throne cannot tolerate outsiders meddling!" The God of the Undead said sinisterly. Beside him followed a massive group of terrifying undead, Specters, Bone Dragons, and so on.

He could control these undead and bestow upon them powerful Strength buffs, making him a good hand at gang-beating.

And Mo Duo didn't say much nonsense. These enemies were all carefully selected elites under the major Councilors. Neither their Strength nor equipment was weak.

Furthermore, as Divine Spirits possessing a Divine Realm, they were comparable to A5-Tier Lifeforms.

And right now she had to face the siege of four people, but she didn't have the slightest fear.

Mo Duo suppressed her negative emotions, and her eyes gradually became sharp. Having wandered the Interstellar for so many years, she never detested battle.

Because only through battle could she obtain what she wanted!

Boom!

In the next moment, Mo Duo actually took the initiative to attack, charging towards the four!

During the attack, death Energy was continuously released, transforming into a patch of blackish-green cloud and mist.

"Overestimate One's Capabilities!"

Seeing this, the four Divine Spirits each sneered and simultaneously dove down, like four falling stars, brazenly colliding with Mo Duo.

Bang!

The momentum was earth-shattering. Rings of colorful Shockwaves blasted open, echoing throughout the entire Starry Universe.

But this Starry Universe had already been suppressed by the thirteen Divine Thrones, its Space Intensity enhanced an unknown number of times. This Energy Level didn't cause the space to produce any fluctuations.

The mist formed by the death Energy dissipated completely. A blackish-green meteor flew backward even faster, unable to stop.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Smashing through massive swathes of meteorites along the way, and even carving out a rift-like trajectory on a Barren Planet, Mo Duo finally halted her momentum and stopped.

"Cough cough..."

Mo Duo forcefully hunched her body, her eyes fierce. She casually wiped the blood dripping from her nose, staring closely at the four Divine Spirits in the distance.

Clashing head-on, she was clearly no match for the siege of four Divine Spirits, and was directly blasted away.

"Since you want to kill me in a short time, have you thought about who the next target is?" Mo Duo's Mental Fluctuations swept out.

The minds of the four Divine Spirits stirred slightly, and they obscurely restrained a portion of their Energy Fluctuations.

The moment they stepped in here, their relationship with the Councilors behind them was no longer purely that of subordinates.

A Councilor on the same tier as them was bound to be born.

Of course, the reason they were able to obtain a slant in resources in a short time was not because they were Utterly Loyal and had illustrious military merits before.

It was more because they had reached various agreements with the Councilors behind them. After becoming Councilors, they would also have to help the respective Councilors behind them.

Only in this way would the Councilors behind them cultivate them to grow rapidly in a short time.

And eliminating Mo Duo was the first thing.

But similarly, the moment Mo Duo died was the moment they would turn against each other. They had to make preparations early.

They weren't stupid enough to be directly alienated, but instead looked down at Mo Duo indifferently.

"Fighting like a trapped animal!"

"Kill her!"

The Holy Disciples behind them swarmed out, and the Holy Disciples beside Mo Duo also charged forward. The battle violently broke out!
