Chapter 451: The Numb Gods

Thirty squads of the Unyielding!

Thirty squads of the Sword-Wielders!

They charged toward the gods without hesitation, some detonating themselves, others wielding their swords.

Burning their broken bodies, they erupted with the most powerful force, igniting the night sky.

Together with the Arcane Eye, they splashed out the most brilliant fireworks of humanity.

Thirty squads of the Unyielding and Sword-Wielders, totaling 376 people.

Not one survived.

Slaying gods and Abyss Lords, a total of 11 gods were slain!

It could not be called anything but heroic.

With Legendary bodies, and even High-level Professionals, they hard-clashed against the gods.

It is moving.

Especially the gods of the Heavenly Court, and those few sinful gods.

"How did Iron Stone City train such warriors?" an Elder of the Heavenly Court exclaimed with emotion.

The daughter of the White Snake had a complex look in her eyes; she murmured, "With this group of subordinates serving you, you are indeed worthy of respect."

"It is just... although they died heroically and took down quite a few gods, yet... the Strong Divine Power gods have not yet entered the field, and the Master has not entered either."

"Your trump card... what exactly is it?"

The daughter of the White Snake could not fathom it; knowing the terror of the Master of Light, why was Prince Lin still unwilling to leave with her and depart this world?

This is the only way to break the situation.

The daughter of the White Snake had a calm gaze; she looked at Hong Ying in the distance and transmitted her voice: "Where is His Highness the Prince now?"

Hong Ying glanced at the daughter of the White Snake: "I don't know, don't ask me."

"Are you not afraid that he has already run away?" The daughter of the White Snake did not get an answer and tried to provoke Hong Ying.

Upon hearing this, Hong Ying smiled: "Why would he run? Relying on this group of... gods?"

In her words, there was deep disdain.

She felt that the gods of this world were too weak.

In her eyes, true gods should be those existences that are long-lived and eternal, reflecting the heavens, and with one word, opening the heavens and splitting the earth.

In this world, only the Father God barely fits her fantasy of gods.

The daughter of the White Snake looked at Hong Ying, feeling as if a bone were stuck in her throat.

She did not understand, nor could she grasp, what their confidence was.

"A bunch of lunatics."

She felt that these people were all lunatics.

Thinking of this, the daughter of the White Snake could not help but feel despair.

Except for Lin Chao, she had no one else to pin her hopes on.

The battle continued, without a moment of rest.

More and more of the Unyielding joined the battlefield, coordinating with the Sword-Wielders to carry out vigorous attacks.

More and more gods fell.

And the core strength of the Iron Stone City players also suffered heavy losses.

The gods on the Heavenly Vault were by now somewhat numb, and some even felt a bit of fear in their hearts.

The second group of thirty squads of the Unyielding coordinated with the Sword-Wielders and charged toward the Heavenly Vault without hesitation.

This time, they took down another fifteen gods.

The third group, the fourth group, the fifth group... one after another, they charged toward the Heavenly Vault.

It was already high noon, and only the last three groups of the Unyielding squads remained, which was ninety squads.

And the gods on the Heavenly Vault had already fallen by over a hundred, even approaching two hundred.

Although the Arcane Eye also contributed, the Unyielding and the Sword-Wielders still played a huge role.

"Last three groups, go together!"

Hong Ying gave the order.

In an instant, the remaining Unyielding, like lone Gulang, soared into the air and charged toward the Heavenly Vault.

Boom!

Boom!

The sounds of self-detonation followed one after another, and the entire earth shook.

Nearly a thousand players detonated themselves, acting as sacrifices, just for the Sword-Wielders to strike a fatal blow.

"No!"

"They are all lunatics!"

"I don't want to die here!"

This wave of large-scale impact buried fifty-three gods right here.

The gods on the Heavenly Vault were numb.

Before even attacking the city, before even seeing the opponent's divine power, two hundred had already fallen; one-fifth of their strength, it was truly...

The gods and Abyss Lords were terrified.

Even one cowardly Abyss Lord directly withdrew from the battlefield.

It turned into a stream of light, not wanting to participate in the battle to destroy Iron Stone City anymore.

However, what greeted it was a giant hand.

I saw Wanshou Demon Lord stretch out a hand, grab that Abyss Lord, and then stuff it into its own bloody basin of a nose.

With a forceful sniff of its nose, that Abyss Lord entered its belly and was reduced to fertilizer.

"Those who abandon the battlefield without authorization shall be killed without mercy!"

Wanshou Demon Lord let out a giant roar.

Following its voice, the remaining gods of Strong Divine Power and Abyss Lords also took a step forward; the monstrous pressure of their Divine Power almost shattered the earth.

The gods and Abyss Lords on the battlefield saw this scene, and many revealed expressions of fear.

"The opportunity has already been given to you.

If you want to seize the Sovereign Dao, the necessary sacrifices cannot be avoided.

This is not just our will, but the will of the Master."

The gods who were originally somewhat dissatisfied or filled with anger immediately suppressed the dissatisfaction in their hearts upon hearing these words.

After all, that is the Master!

The prestige of the Master in this world exceeds everyone's imagination.

However, among the fighting gods, there were still bold individuals who spoke up: "Justice Scales, we can serve as the vanguard.

But if a god of Strong Divine Power from Iron Stone City makes a move, can you intervene to stop them?"

Justice Scales is the number one person under the Master in the Light Master's camp.

Due to the unique nature of his divine office, gods of any camp trust him relatively more.

Justice Scales is not in human form; he is draped in a white robe, radiating brilliant divine light: "I will."

With a single sentence, he dispelled the doubts and worries of the other gods.

As long as no god of Strong Divine Power makes a move, their power can directly sweep through Iron Stone City.

As long as they are the first to enter, they can harvest the Sovereign Dao; how could they not be crazy?

The battle is still continuing, and has even entered a white-hot stage.

Inside Iron Stone City, Lan Guang is still praying.

"Great Fire of Civilization, please protect us believers!"

"I am willing to offer my faith, and even my life and soul."

The Fire of Civilization within the Temple is still burning, and for some reason, it is burning even more vigorously.

Inside the city, about one-third of the commoners are currently praying to the Fire of Civilization.

To them, the Fire of Civilization is Nine Prince; it is the Fire of Civilization, which is to say, Nine Prince, that gave them a new life.

On the city wall, Hong Ying looks at the Heavenly Vault.

Currently, the top-tier power among the players is almost exhausted, and another wave requires a cooldown.

However, before Lin Chao left, he handed the management authority of the God-Tier Puppet and the gods of the Heavenly Court to her.

At this moment, her expression is cold and stern as she says softly: "Spear-wielding gods, step forward!"

Following her voice, nearly two hundred gods appeared immediately.

These gods are all the power of the Heavenly Court and the God-Tier Puppet.

This can also be considered the last useful power of Iron Stone City.

Of course, not including Lin Chao.

"Spear-wielding gods, advance one rank, kill!" Hong Ying issued the order again.

With the coordination of the Arcane Eye, having the spear-wielding gods carry out surprise attacks might achieve miraculous results.

Immediately, ten gods stepped forward; these ten gods are all God-Tier Puppets, and they wear expressions of murderous intent.

Hearing Hong Ying's command, these ten spear-wielding gods instantly charged toward the Heavenly Vault.

The gods on the Heavenly Vault saw this, and their expressions became grave: "Everyone be careful, the Evil Gods of Iron Stone City have come out!"

"Why call them Evil Gods? I am the god who holds the divine office of Evil!"

"Kill!"

These ten spear-wielding gods are all powerhouses at the god realm.

The threat they pose to the gods on the Heavenly Vault is naturally far greater than the previous Unyielding Ones and Sword-wielding Ones.

The spear-wielding gods charged toward the gods, and those gods looked on with extreme wariness.

Among them, the God of Lies saw a spear-wielding god charging straight at him, his face filled with an angry expression.

He already knew the attack strategy of Iron Stone City, which was to specifically target weak gods to achieve the goal of completely slaying them.

Now that a spear-wielding god has sought him out, what does it mean?

Do they think he, the God of Lies, is easy to bully?

He, the God of Lies, is skilled at deception.

On the surface, the strength he displays is only that of an Ordinary Weak Divine Power, but in reality, he is a top-tier Weak Divine Power, only one step away from a god of Medium Divine Power.

He looked at the spear-wielding god charging toward him, his face filled with an angry expression: "I will make you regret choosing me!"

He no longer hid his strength, nor did he run away, but instead charged directly at that spear-wielding god.

But in the next instant, a monstrous "Boom" resounded through the Heavenly Vault.

He looked over, and saw not far from him, a huge, scorching Fire.

Within it, there was also a painful roar mixed in!

"A god... self-destructed!" The Eye of Lies saw this, and his pupils constricted.

That is a god!

A Legendary self-destructing is already surprising!

A god self-destructing is terrifying.

"No martial virtue!"

The God of Lies' initial confidence vanished in an instant; seeing the Spear-wielder rushing toward him, he chose to flee directly, running toward the nearest god.

"Help me stop him!"

The God of Lies roared.

However, when that god saw this scene, he did not help the God of Lies, but instead said with a look of annoyance, "Don't come my way."

This god casually cast a net, blocking it in front of the God of Lies.

The God of Lies was incensed: "No!"

Yet, he had no way out.

Behind him, that Spear-wielder had already closed in.

In his ears, there was rumbling everywhere.

Several more Spear-wielders self-destructed, which frightened the God of Lies so much that he had no desire to fight at all.

He looked at that Spear-wielder, his expression changing drastically: "You self-destruct, go find someone else!"

"Do you think you are the only one who can self-destruct?"

The God of Lies gritted his teeth and decided to use his ultimate Divine Art—Lying Self-Destruct.

This type of self-destruct was a fake self-destruct.

However, it would also consume fifty percent of his Divine Power and his divine office.

He had not expected that he would be forced to this day.

He did not want to self-destruct, but if the opponent self-destructed, he would surely die.

The only path to survival was to fake a self-destruct.

Sure enough, after the God of Lies finished speaking, a huge rumbling sound came.

That Spear-wielder saw this scene and immediately retreated.

The God of Lies did not actually want to die, so he did not chase after him, but instead self-destructed right where he stood.

After the self-destruct, the God of Lies hid above the Heavenly Vault, looking at that Spear-wielder.

He widened his eyes in an instant.

"Why didn't he self-destruct!"

That Spear-wielder was currently skirmishing with a god.

Seeing this scene, his Divine Power became unstable, and he nearly worsened his injuries.

"How could this be!"

He only then discovered that not all Spear-wielders were self-destructing; currently, only five Spear-wielders had self-destructed.

The remaining Spear-wielders were all catching a god to skirmish with.

Other gods, having witnessed the self-destruction of the Spear-wielders, simply did not dare to intervene in the battles between the Spear-wielders and the gods.

Boom!

Suddenly, another self-destruct sound came.

As it turned out, a Spear-wielder had Slayed an injured god and had been severely wounded himself; wanting to escape, he was intercepted by an Abyss Lord on the Heavenly Vault.

As a result, that god did not hesitate at all, directly self-destructing and severely wounding that Abyss Lord.

Other gods and Abyss Lords felt their scalps go numb seeing this scene.

They dared not intervene again, letting these Spear-wielders fight... and finally leave gracefully.

In the end, ten Spear-wielders Slayed twelve gods; seven fell, and three returned to Iron Stone City.

The various Elders of the Heavenly Court saw this scene with expressions of amazement.

They felt shocked by those gods from just now.

Those were the direct-line gods of Prince Lin, yet they were so ready to face death.

They had also been organized into Spear-wielders, but the orders given to them did not include anything about self-destructing.

However, some Heavenly Court Elders also made up their minds that if the opportunity was not right, they would imitate the direct-line gods and self-destruct directly.

"Spear-wielders, form a line."

Following Hong Ying's voice, the Spear-wielders composed of Heavenly Court Elders appeared.

They also carried an aura of grim slaughter on their bodies.

The gods on the Heavenly Vault felt anxious seeing this scene.

If not for the gods with Strong Divine Power behind them, and if not for the Master, a portion of them would certainly have fled.

"Leave it to fate!"

"Whoever is chosen by that group of Spear-wielders can just consider themselves unlucky!"

"Should we not go over to help?"

"Aren't you afraid he will self-destruct?"

These gods were all somewhat afraid.

In the face of death, these gods chose indifference and chose selfishness.

Therefore, after the ten Spear-wielders rushed onto the battlefield.

Apart from the god being targeted, no one dared to step forward to help.

"Why haven't they self-destructed yet? Could there be a trick?"

"Why don't you go and try?"

"I'm not going; it might just be a trap to lure me in!"

"Once we are injured, we will become the next target for these Spear-wielders."

They had already concluded that these Spear-wielders prioritized attacking those with weak strength and those who were severely injured.

This battle lasted much longer than the previous one, continuing for a full thirty breaths.

This time, among the ten Spear-wielders, three were defeated, one died in an enemy's self-detonation, one was killed by a sneak attack from the god they were fighting, and one got carried away, charged at other enemies, and self-detonated directly.

There was another who was severely injured; they were intercepted by a god who could not hold back from attacking, and they self-detonated without hesitation.

Only six survivors returned to Iron Stone City with severe injuries.

Perhaps out of fear of the self-detonations, not a single god intercepted them as they returned.

And they had Slayed a total of eight gods, which was truly astonishing.

Outside the battlefield, those gods with Strong Divine Power saw this scene and took a deep breath: "Iron Stone City... cannot be underestimated!"

For the first time, they began to take this opponent seriously!

Making gods willingly self-detonate—this was simply unimaginable!

If it were those foolish believers, they would be very confident in making them offer up their bodies and lives for them.

But those were gods!

And it was not just one; it was a large number of gods self-detonating!

This not only demonstrated the cruelty of the God War but also announced to the world that Iron Stone City was a hard nut to crack.

"Justice Balance, are we just going to watch like this?" an Abyss Lord asked, unable to bear it.

Several of his subordinates had already died in battle or were severely injured.

Justice Balance glanced at this Abyss Lord: "If you have an opinion, you can go find Pure White.

This is an order issued by the five Masters together; do you intend to defy it?"

After Justice Balance finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze.

He looked at those gods who had self-detonated, an expression of admiration appearing in his eyes.

If the gods of the world were all as obedient as this, the world he was creating would be complete.

Unfortunately, the gods of this world were full of evil, unwilling to hand over their lives or their souls, and were even extremely reluctant to serve as slaves.

It would be better if more of them died.
