Chapter 464 - 79: Conquering the Shadow World, the Black Prison Race’s Reaction (Part 2)
"Damn it!"
"How dare a mere Outer Realm Ancient Divine Race act so viciously before us, the Black Prison Race!"
Three Deities of the Black Prison Race had died in an instant.
A Main God Level member of the Black Prison Race could no longer hold back and immediately struck!
A terrifying sea of Black Flame shot from the orbit of the Shadow World, rushing through the Star Sea toward the Third Blood Ancestor’s position.
At the same time, a terrifying beam of black light crashed forward.
The next moment, a terrifying storm of Energy erupted across the entire Star Sea, sweeping through the surroundings.
At the center of the battle, the figures of the Main God Level Black Prison Race member and the Third Blood Ancestor became clear once more.
The Black Prison Race member was a giant wolf of Black Flame with six wings.
The Third Blood Ancestor had manifested as a giant with thirty-six pairs of terrifying, blood-red wings!
At this moment, the winged, blood-red giant was shrouded in a terrifying crimson mist.
The giant’s hands were clamped tightly around the Black Flame wolf’s neck.
Right before the eyes of all the Deities, the winged giant’s gaze was vicious as it relentlessly applied pressure!
The giant wolf of Black Flame erupted with even more terrifying flames that seeped into the blood mist, and though parts of the winged giant’s body were seared by the Black Flame...
...the next moment, amidst the giant wolf’s agonizing howls...
...the winged giant let out a sudden roar and, under the shocked gazes of the Deities, brutally snapped the Black Flame wolf’s head clean off!
Then, the winged giant’s thirty-six pairs of wings plunged into the Black Flame wolf’s body.
In just an instant, the Material Realm body of the terrifying giant wolf, which had just been roaring with power, shriveled up completely.
The Black Flame faded.
The blood-red mist exploded outward with even greater intensity!
At that moment, everyone—from the Deities of the Star Empire to the last two powerful members of the Black Prison Race holding the line—was stunned by the Third Blood Ancestor’s terrifying strength.
"Haha! In tens of thousands of years, this is the first time I’ve drunk such exquisite blood!"
"It’s just a shame the Black Flame Power in this blood is a bit troublesome. Separating it out wasted quite a bit of Energy. What a pity."
The winged, blood-red giant laughed as it looked toward the Black Prison Race.
Its blood-red pupils were filled with insatiable greed.
’Damn it!’
’The power of this descendant of the Exotic Ancient Gods is already comparable to a Star God Level general.’
’At this rate, I don’t think we stand a chance on our own!’
’The Army Commander underestimated these guys who came for our breeding farm!’
’What do we do now?’
’What else can we do? Let’s just run for now!’
’The Army Commander is currently fighting some troublesome foes in another Star Realm. He definitely can’t dispatch any more Power over here!’
’Dispatch my ass! This Star Realm has been locked down! We can’t even send out a single message.’
’Let’s get out of here! I can smell the interference of the Power of Destiny. These Exotic Creatures clearly have someone even stronger backing them—at least a Star God Level being who controls the Destiny Law!’
"..."
Although the Black Prison Race was vicious and tyrannical by nature, those who had reached the level of Deities were not lacking in reason or intelligence.
In fact, once a member of the Black Prison Race reached the Divine Tier, they began to possess a Divine Body of flesh and blood.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for them to risk certain death to fight an enemy to the bitter end.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was, after all, their true nature.
So, the moment they realized the situation was hopeless, they all turned to flee!
Following the lead of the first two, the other members of the Black Prison Race instantly scattered and fled into the dark Star Sea.
"Trying to escape?"
"As if we’d let you get away like that!"
When the Deities saw the Black Prison Race fleeing, they naturally gave chase at once.
Even the Twin Gods, who had been holding back and had not yet appeared, sprang into action.
The Twin Gods and the Third Blood Ancestor each pursued one of the two powerful, Main God Level members of the Black Prison Race who had been the first to flee.
The other Deities worked together to chase down the rest of the fleeing Black Prison Race.
After all, the Black Prison Race were not Gods of Mortals.
As an Ancient Divine Race, they had no need to merge with a world’s will after stepping into the Divine Tier.
Therefore, just like the Dragon Race and other Ancient Races, once they died, they were truly dead, with no possibility of resurrection.
This could be considered a common weakness among the Ancient Divine Races.
After all, innate power came at a price.
However, this price could be overcome upon entering the Dominator Star God stage.
This was because at this stage, an Ancient Divine Race could also fuse with the power of a World Star Core, just like a God of Mortals.
Thus, an Ancient Divine Race at the Dominator Star God stage would possess the means to be immortal. Furthermore, their strength would be several times greater than that of a Star God from other Lower-Rank Species of the same level.
And so, after a chase that lasted for many days across the Star Sea...
...when everything was over, the Deities gathered again in the Star Realm of the Shadow World, feeling somewhat puzzled.
The Shadow World was, at the end of the day, a Middle Demon World. Since it was referred to as a "breeding farm"...
...shouldn’t this planet have its own Dominator, a Star God Level member of the Black Prison Race?
But so far, aside from the three Main God Level members of the Black Prison Race killed by the Deities, the world’s Star God Level member had never appeared!
Ultimately, there was something else the Deities didn’t know.
The True Game had been able to so smoothly complete its takeover of the Shadow World’s Laws precisely because there was no Star God Level member of the Black Prison Race to intervene.
Star God. The term itself referred to a Dominator Level Deity who could completely control a planet.
Such a Deity, fused with a World Star Core, should be able to instantly detect any foreign power attempting to corrupt the Laws, no matter how secretly it was done.
How could it be that the True Game had corrupted eighty percent of the Mana Will’s Law Power without any reaction?
So, this planet had no Dominator Level Star God?
A Middle Demon World, one that the Dragon God had assessed as being controlled by an ancient and evil race.
Logically, it should have been guarded by a Star God, right?
But in the end, there was none?
Of course there wasn’t!
No one knew the reason, but it was precisely because this world had no Star God that it was targeted by the True Cosmic Game as one of three potential worlds to invade and use as an outpost.
Conquering the Shadow World meant that the Star Empire now had a staging ground in this World Community.
At the same time, they could use it as a springboard to attack the other territories of the Black Prison Race in this World Community.
"The Outpost Planet has been secured!"
"But this World Community doesn’t seem simple. I just don’t know what Your Majesty’s plans are."
Using the Power of Destiny, the Twin Gods could clearly sense the chaotic aura that permeated this world’s fate.
Chaos. It meant that somewhere in this region of the world, there definitely existed a being that could not be calculated by their Destiny Law.
「Meanwhile, not long after the Star Empire had taken the Shadow World.」
In a dark and strange space, projections of numerous terrifying beings were gathered.
"Three Breeding Stars have been occupied one after another by unknown creatures from the Outer Realm!"
"Given the circumstances, I assume no one is still calling this a coincidence at this point, are they?!"
"Hmph! A coincidence? In the nearby World Communities, is there any world or civilization that doesn’t know the might of our Black Prison Race!"
"For three foolish civilizations that don’t know their place to proactively attack our Breeding Stars—that’s practically impossible!"
"This was a premeditated operation! And those three different civilizations are very likely a single, powerful alliance of civilizations!"
"I have a feeling they came for us, the Black Prison Race, from the very beginning. They came for our Lord!"
"So, everyone, I believe we can no longer allow this situation to continue!"
"One of us must give up their territory and immediately cease their campaigns in the Outer Realms."
"As things stand, an Army Commander must go and investigate the situation at these three locations. In short, we absolutely cannot allow any existence to dare challenge our Lord, to challenge the dignity of our race."
"Then who will go?"
"’Give up territory,’ easy for you to say. As long as it’s not *your* territory, right?"
"Strength is everything. If you lose territory, you can always develop more."
"But our race’s dignity cannot be provoked! You all should know our situation with the powerful civilizations in the surrounding World Communities these past years—we are already in a state of near-total, unending war."
"Our Lord is at a critical juncture, and it’s precisely at this moment that this unknown trouble has arrived."
"In short, you must understand that if the surrounding World Communities discover that our Black Prison Race is all bark and no bite, we could very well face a siege from dozens, even hundreds, of powerful civilizations!"
"We absolutely cannot let that happen!"
"So, if none of you will go, then let me go!!!"
