Her naivety and blind optimism were simply giving an opportunity to others.
Quantitative change can lead to qualitative transformation. The methods the Empire uses on her avatar, with her as the focal point, might not be effective against her main body.
Although the connection between the avatar and the main body has been severed, and her experiences cannot be transmitted back to the main body, with her vengeful nature, she will definitely explore the Eternal Night World again.
That could very well develop into a siege and relief scenario, constantly causing losses of faith power here.
In addition, with the Empire's fleet constantly destroying the parishes under her control, the circulation of faith power in her hands has already encountered problems. It's like a giant enterprise facing the risk of a cash flow break. Her existence might really be threatened by the Empire.
But as a result, the Empire is not taking the most secure path now, but is instead becoming inflated after victory, actually wanting to directly fight in her divine kingdom?
Heh, indeed, this is your world. I lost once again.
But if you come to my world, those mortals seeking their own death will be you!
Thinking of this, Tyberia felt better again, feeling that even if she fell here, it wouldn't matter.
At least she knew that the enemy was not invincible. They would also be arrogant and become inflated. Enduring until now to give herself a harsh blow, this was already the limit of what mortals could do.
Their vision was ultimately small, not comprehending that wars between gods involve calculations spanning thousands or tens of thousands of years, requiring complete preparation before launching the final attack.
Otherwise, the divine kingdom would become the enemy's graveyard. Even wars between gods require utmost caution regarding other's divine kingdoms.
That place is a self-contained set of rules.
Come on, come and seek death!
Tyberia was extremely confident.
The Qing Teng Empire was also extremely confident.
The means they possessed were far more than what Tyberia had seen today. The long-term layouts between past gods had been analyzed countless times, so they had enough confidence to believe that it was already the time for a final battle with Tyberia.
Roger took a deep look at the three avatars in the sky that were completely controlled and had become the Empire's test subjects, left the God-Devourer and arrived at the flagship of the First Fleet, Eternal Night.
The Twilight of the Gods was constantly interrupting, and the God-Devourer could not move temporarily.
It also gave those believers who had suffered countless hardships the opportunity to question the goddess who abandoned them and created terrible suffering in their world, enumerating her sins one by one.
Roger did not lie. Except for Dale, all the central hubs of the God-Devourer were believers of the Goddess of War.
At least the central hubs of the Second Fleet were not chosen from the Sons of the System.
They were those bullied believers, existences that were once as insignificant as weeds, many of whom were the lowest-level untouchables, eternal sinners.
But because of the Empire's arrival, their excellent qualities awakened. They not only mastered one of the world's ultimate powers but also obtained the opportunity to judge that god.
For the central hubs of the God-Devourer, for the alien soldiers willing to follow Roger to conquer myriad worlds, today's victory against the Goddess of War was not the final victory, but it represented...
This day is finally dawning!
The embers hidden in the long night burned with difficulty, and countless people guarded them with their lives to pass them on. Now, there is finally a possibility to illuminate the darkness and usher in the dawn.
Such a victory, such a crucial turning point, Roger's performance as the commander-in-chief of the battle could be described as perfect today. He was confident that he was absolutely qualified to report to the Eternal Night Empress.
Originally, he wanted to negotiate with Tyberia before the battle.
But the Eternal Night Empress avoided meeting him and directly handed over the command to him, dodging this procedure.
However, Roger also anticipated this possibility. There were many unreported maneuvers in the operation, just to make the Eternal Night Empress unable to resist her curiosity.
A meeting was definitely necessary!
Sure enough, after his boarding application was submitted, the Eternal Night quickly agreed.
He couldn't help but clench his fist.
Three years, how could that heartless woman bear not seeing him for three years!
Now, does she still have a reason to avoid him?
He strode forward with a majestic gait, entering the captain's room.
Then he froze.
Looking around, confirming again and again, he finally couldn't suppress his anger and asked:
"Old Josda, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man wearing a white wedding dress, crossing his muscular legs wrapped in white silk, smiled and said, "Of course, it's Her Majesty's order, my old friend!"
He got up and put his arm around Roger's shoulder, curiously saying, "Come and tell me quickly, what strategies did you use today to capture the Goddess of War?"
"Don't come over here!"
Roger took a step back, avoiding his gesture of intimacy, and unwillingly asked, "Where is Her Majesty now? I have important matters to discuss with her regarding the next action."
"You may have to wait for that. She has already arrived at Conqueror's Canyon."
"???"
Damn it, is she avoiding me?
No wonder she wasn't curious at all about how I did it. It turns out she had already regarded my actions as a prelude, and then she went to complete that most crucial blow.
This woman is getting more and more cunning!
Roger was stunned for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, the war is not over. Immediately rush to support Conqueror's Canyon. Her Majesty is in danger!"
Regardless of whether it's real danger or fake danger, she must be in danger, so that I have a reason to appear!
Chapter 260 His Growth, His Determination
Roger really didn't expect the current situation, but after careful analysis, it does conform to the Eternal Night Empress's character.
Brashness is her synonym. The previous years of lying low, wholeheartedly engaging in infrastructure construction and hoarding strength, wasn't her suddenly changing her personality, but her preparing to be even more reckless.
When the true location of Tyberia's divine kingdom was found, even at the risk, she would act quickly, rushing directly to the Goddess of War's main body, trying to put an end to this battle.
This could be said to be a scene that Tyberia would never have expected.
The news on the Eternal Night World battlefield was isolated. From her perspective, she didn't know that mortals already had the strength to fight against gods. At least after layers of layout, all the variables that her avatar could use had been nailed down.
After that, the Empire's operation against her main body, attempting to completely destroy this god, would not end there, but had just begun.
It's just that the Eternal Night Empress's attack was too fast and too ruthless, so ruthless that Roger, her teammate, didn't even react.
It's really hard to say whether it was her nature or if she was deliberately looking for a reason to avoid Roger.
Is it shyness, or is she still holding grudges?
Anyway, she is extremely cunning!
But this evasive attitude would have definitely made Roger feel frustrated in the past, but now he has learned to analyze problems from an optimistic perspective.
So this obviously means that the Eternal Night Empress is giving herself a chance!
If she really didn't give herself any chance, determined to completely blacklist herself, she would definitely refuse in person, without giving any face.
With that woman's directness and limited emotional intelligence, she would definitely do that, leaving no way out.
Avoiding him, although it has been delayed for three years, there is likely to be another three years, but this at least shows that Little Ao is still hesitating.
As long as she is hesitating and hasn't completely given up, she still has a chance to win back the situation.
Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are shameless.
The same is true for the feelings between men and women. There has never been a perfect ending where everything is achieved in one fell swoop. The road is a bit tortuous, but the future is bound to be bright!
It can only be said that constant wars are also a tempering for Roger.
Having directly faced the power of gods, and with opponents being the most outstanding popes and bishops of various planes, every battle is said to be an advantage for the Empire with complete equipment crushing.
But the other side also showed all means to resist. The Holy Spirits of Conqueror's Canyon were not for nothing. The believers forced to the end would also be like mad dogs, regardless of everything, just wanting to tear a piece of flesh from the Empire's expeditionary army.
What's more, having witnessed so many realities of the world, Roger has become more cautious and more determined.
Without caution, he couldn't maintain a complete victory record, always without giving the enemy any flaws.
But without determination, he couldn't continue the battle until now, trusting his own judgment that he could give the enemy a fatal blow.
Learning to think about problems optimistically is almost a skill that he must learn in this position.
Otherwise, the more he understands the power of the Seven Gods camp, the more he feels the gap on his side.
The future is promising is good to hear, but who knows how far away that future is? With their current reserves, is there still a chance to see that kind of future?
He was originally extremely cautious, with a habit of pessimistic analysis. But after facing such a war for a long time, he was forced to learn to look at problems from a positive side, analyzing the enemy and himself, otherwise, he simply couldn't support it.
As the commander, the marshal of the Empire's largest fleet, he not only represents himself but also the direction of progress that those soldiers look up to and rely on.
Also, at some point, Roger suddenly experienced the years when the Eternal Night Empress supported the Empire's progress. Although the weight and situation were completely different, he also understood what it felt like to be entrusted with expectations.
Watching those people who were oppressed to the extreme, choosing to go all out to believe in themselves, he would feel guilty even if he wanted to slack off.
Under such emotions, he gradually understood his responsibility, that even if he didn't have a single point of certainty in his heart, he also needed to pretend to be calm and unhurried, to solve all the problems he faced.
Having experienced similar scenes many times, his character naturally changed.
This kind of character change extended to life, that he would no longer be timid in dealing with feelings, and learned to analyze problems from an optimistic perspective.
If he wasn't optimistic, how could he command thousands of troops and horses, and become the commander-in-chief they trusted?
This kind of growth in character, he gradually shed his immaturity, from always having random and adaptable cleverness, to a kind of wisdom that understands the world and calmly implements his own ideas.
Regarding the feelings for the Eternal Night Empress, he saw his heart clearly. Since that day's confession, then he began to express himself recklessly.
This is the harassment that the Eternal Night Empress has been facing for three years, making her happy and unhappy, and at the same time at a loss for what to do.
So the current situation is that the Eternal Night Empress is more childish and childish, emotionally avoiding Roger's feelings.
And Roger began to put on a posture of full-scale attack and indomitable spirit, no matter where you escape to, I will let you know that I still like you.
Isn't this a kind of romance, the kind of companionship that a girl's heart has always been looking forward to?
So Little Ao ran away again, although the route she escaped was directly to the Goddess of War's divine kingdom, directly launching a final battle against Tyberia.
After Roger knew, he was not discouraged, but directly used the command in his hand to continue this battle.
You start the war? Okay, I'll flash to follow!
The obedience of the Imperial military is one of the most excellent troops in the world, and immediately began to prepare for the next round of battle according to Roger's orders.
The Second Fleet still had to continue to complete the containment and analysis of Tyberia's avatar and had to stay in the Eternal Night World for the time being.
The other fleets had only been used as reserves before, maintaining the encirclement and not letting the dark elves run out. They hadn't even released a few fireballs, and the battle was over.
Now, the dark elves' army in the dark region has been completely wiped out, and Yavin Sally, although also a god's avatar, but a small god who had just been conferred a few years ago, didn't know how much description, was directly annihilated by artillery fire.
Then the location of the divine kingdom was read, and a mixed fleet was already on the way to sweep the divine kingdom.
So they still have the power to continue fighting, and also have the determination to fight a tough battle. Hearing that they were going to support the Eternal Night Empress's battlefield, they immediately activated the jump engine and teleported to the newly locked coordinates.
Roger took over Old Josda's position and directly took over the command of the Eternal Night.
"We're about to revisit the old place, are you happy?" Roger asked.
"I was locked up there for hundreds of years, I don't have any good memories."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up."
"It's okay, if there are no good things, just create them yourself."
Old Josda smiled and said, "I've already thought about it, I'll make the goddess pose in seventy-six interesting positions!"
Roger was stunned for a moment and subconsciously distanced himself from him.
This guy is really quite perverted, he is still thinking about the Goddess of War!
However, he also prepared a magic recording device. If Old Josda comes up with some creative pictures next, he doesn't mind learning a trick...
Learn from each other's strengths and make up for weaknesses... You can ask me what I'm learning these for?
...
...
Eternal Night World, the Empire's Second Fleet encirclement, the sky-covering warship group, the target is actually only three avatars of the same size as normal people:
Tyberia's Warrior-Priest-Mage Iron Triangle.
But this is, after all, a god's avatar. The Twilight of the Gods is a special weapon to kill her, but to dismantle a powerful god's avatar and try to achieve the greatest degree of utilization, this is the first time the Empire has performed this operation, so being careful is not an overstatement.
For this reason, the two major magic technology directors, Frankenstein and Delia, and a large group of middle-level research backbones of Neo-Arcane, all attended to witness this historical moment.
And as research talents worth a fortune, although they themselves are also extremely powerful magicians, and the equipment brought by tens of millions of wealth can be equated to combat power, they are still equipped with extremely luxurious security forces.
