Chapter 598 - 572: A Common Enemy
Outside the main world of the alternate world.
Here, the space is layered, with countless large and small planes attached to the main plane like bubbles.
In one of the small planes.
The air here is filled with a rich divine atmosphere, with angels with white wings flying by from time to time, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
This is the God of Light’s Divine Country.
Atop the mountain leading to the Divine Hall,
stands a massive golden spired church of a certain religious style.
In a pool in one of the side halls.
Here, the divine power is incredibly dense, and one can vaguely hear countless prayers and hymns lingering in the air.
Babies with fleshy wings and naked bodies float in the water, occasionally moving unconsciously.
At a glance, there are tens of thousands of such babies.
An old man with white beard and robe stands by the pool, his brow furrowed, his expression uncertain.
There is no doubt that this is the current God of Light.
Two years.
In two years, as long as a deity is willing, they can understand everything about humans.
Including technology.
Before the mutation, the discovery of extraordinary creatures in the alternate world greatly promoted the development of biology, genetics, and medicine.
Cloning was no longer a problem, but due to ethical constraints and international public opinion pressures, human cloning and genetic modification have always been absolute taboos in every country.
However, human self-restraining morality cannot limit a deity.
From a slain human legend, He obtained the genetic seed, using it as a foundation, based on the angel of the European Union’s religious mythology, He used divine power to modify the genes and added wings.
This is His proud creation, a weapon to deal with human warfare.
As soon as they were born, it made the war between the Land of Radiance and the European Union proceed smoothly.
However, maturing them quickly really consumed a lot of divine power, and coupled with instilling combat memories and modifying their thought patterns to make them absolutely loyal to Him... Almost all of His daily divine power is consumed here.
This faith of six to seven hundred million believers daily is equivalent to nearly two Earth years of His previous divine power accumulation.
Unfortunately, even so, only 15,000 angels with the strength of an Intermediate Warrior (Martial Artist) can be collected each month, although occasionally, elite angels of a higher level Warrior (Martial Artist) appear.
Since He began nurturing them a year ago until now, He has produced a total of 180,000 angels, of which, excluding those lost in warfare, only 60,000 remain...
He doesn’t know if the 50,000 troops deployed to the front lines can defeat the Great Xia Country’s army?
"Still far from enough!" He sighed.
Recently, even He feels a certain pressure.
Another strong human nation suddenly joining the battlefield makes Him faintly uneasy.
The more He understands humans, the more they terrify Him.
This is a powerful race; although they are born weak, they are intelligent, rich in knowledge, and extremely adept at utilizing sophisticated external tools. They have created weapons that make the gods tremble, and this small, spherical world is home to tens of billions of dense mortals.
Too many deities have already fallen here!
...
After a battle, the battlefield did not become peaceful.
The Great Xia Country’s army, after three days of brief rest and replenishment of troops and ammunition, immediately leaped across the frontline, advancing along the way like a hot knife through butter, capturing more than twenty cities, and advancing the front line by 200 kilometers.
Tens of millions of people were "liberated" from the God of Light, and a temporary government was quickly established with the support of the Great Xia Country.
This time, it was not just the Great Xia Country acting together.
The European Union, which had just caught its breath, and the Lucy Country, which had been watching from the sidelines, also participated.
During the time Chen Shouyi was on the battlefield.
World events changed rapidly, the three countries frequently exchanged, and under the threat of this common enemy in the Eurasian continent, the three countries finally reached an important agreement to jointly send troops to resolve this great threat.
...
In the uninhabited mountains.
The sun’s last rays were swallowed by the mountains, and the light began to fade.
A small, dirty figure pushed aside the rocks blocking the cave entrance, timidly poking her head out of the cave. She listened cautiously for a while, and seeing no movement, quickly emerged from the cave and swiftly climbed a large tree.
Her little face was smudged here and there with black and gray, and her small dress was also dirt-ridden, covered in mud.
She stood on a branch, trying hard to look at the sky in the direction the good giant left.
Soon it would be the first sun... after one... another sunset (ten), but there was nothing in the sky!
Her bright, spirited eyes dimmed as the sky darkened!
A strong sense of loneliness gripped her heart.
She slunk back into the cave, grabbing the edge of a rock much taller than her and dragging it back to block the entrance.
The cave immediately became pitch-black.
She shrank to the innermost part, clutching a tattered cloth, looking helpless and lonely, like an abandoned kitten.
The night quickly settled in.
Every roar of a wild beast filled her with terror.
"I’m a brave little one!"
"The little one isn’t scared at all!" she secretly encouraged herself.
A sharp wind suddenly sounded in the distance.
"It’s, the good giant has come, he’s come to fetch the little one, he didn’t lie to the little one!" The Shell Lady’s ears twitched, her spirit lifted, and her eyes brightened again as she quickly pushed the "boulder" aside and climbed the tree.
However, the scene she envisioned didn’t occur; the good giant didn’t come to fetch her.
It was merely the whistling of the mountain wind crossing the canyon.
A bat flew past her, startling the Shell Lady.
She hurriedly jumped down, panicked, and fled back into the cave, blocking the rock once again.
The mountain wind howled now and then, and every time she nearly rushed out, but now she understood it was just the wind, not the good giant... no, now he was the bad giant.
Thinking of the grievance, her tears began to flow uncontrollably.
She quickly wiped her tears away.
She cried for a while, finally unable to resist fatigue, and holding the tattered cloth, she fell into a deep sleep. She hadn’t slept well any day recently.
Without the good giant by her side, she felt no sense of security here.
In her dreams, the good giant came to take her away.
She smiled happily, kissing the good giant repeatedly.
...
Unfortunately, the next morning, the good giant still hadn’t come, and neither did she see his figure at noon.
The Shell Lady was finally growing anxious.
"The good giant must have forgotten, that’s got to be it, he’s always been so silly." The Shell Lady comforted herself.
All day long, she looked out from the tree countless times.
She even bravely drove away a dozen or so bad big birds.
Yet, until the sun set, the good giant never came to fetch her.
She lethargically went back to the cave.
"Maybe, the good giant will come to fetch the little one tomorrow; he definitely won’t forget the little one!"
The sharp whistle of the wind sounded outside once again.
The Shell Lady’s ears instinctively perked up again, only to quickly droop down.
It must be the wind again.
"Boom!"
A loud noise erupted, like a rock falling to the ground.
The next moment, she heard a familiar set of footsteps coming toward her.
The Shell Lady paused, feeling like she was dreaming.
No, this wasn’t a dream!
She jolted awake, gently pushing aside the boulder blocking the cave’s entrance, poking her head out, and carefully peering around the rock summit.
Upon seeing, her entire body trembled, tears finally streaming uncontrollably as she dashed out:
"Waaa... good giant, why did it take you so long to come?"
...
ps: Sorry for the writer’s block, had to water it down a bit.
