Chapter 1623: Defeated Rats.
The ray of light was tricky to kill, but Legion-5 was ready. He spread out his cosmic domain. It covered the retreating ray of light and froze it in its attempt to escape. The stasis was
temporary, but it was enough for Legion-5 to move closer and smash the ray of light to pieces.
Success came immediately. The Supreme Origin god died, and Legion earned another bucket load of contribution points. The happiness he felt helped dull the backlash he received for freezing a Supreme Origin god.
He staggered and said, "Good news. We can already buy nine world seeds and one world engine. If this goes on, we won't need the realm lord's help to invade any realm."
Soverick, who had just killed another enemy and was going after a new one, thought to himself, "I hope he makes good on his promise."
The clones have been fighting nonstop for the high heaven realm. They have planned and executed many plans, for which they have earned a lot of contribution points. Even if they can't buy all the world engines and world seeds they need by the end of the war, they can surely pay for the assistance of the realm lord in attacking other realm trees.
This assistance is very crucial if an Origin god or even a Supreme god intends to attack a realm tree. Normally, an Origin god can't even enter a realm they were not born in, as the Will of that realm will rebuff their entry.
Aeternus agreed that it was likely, but he still made arguments in his favor. Soverick and the other clones chose to entertain him because, while he is unlikely to succeed in the attempt, it is a possibility that they must prepare for if they want to cover all their bases.
It is not like them to know about something, suspect it, and then ignore it. The only time they have ever done that was with the first sage's scheme to kill them. But they only did that because they had already done the best they could to prepare for him, and they didn't want to go along with his schemes.
Soverick was deep in thought with the other clones when he noticed that his position had reached beyond the half of the battlefield into the upper area of the void where the invaders were coming from. And yet, the number of enemies had decreased.
Normally he should be swarmed right now by enemies, but it is the defenders that are swarming the enemies. They have left the barrier of the floating fortresses behind to chase after the Tyrants for contribution points. This has left very little for him to fight.
He soon got confirmation for his suspicion as Mother High Heaven said to them, "The rats have been defeated. They have been beaten back, with their tails cut off and their eyes blinded. Look at them as they scurry like the vermin they are. Chase them. Hunt them. Kill them. The Tyrant Realm will fall. Victory will be ours."
The defenders roared in excitement. Some roared in anguish because it appeared that the fight was about to end, but they had few contribution points. So they rushed up to fight the small number of enemies that were still present within the realm.
Soverick followed these desperate immortals to pick up the scraps. He was cautious and careful since he expected some last desperate move from the invaders. But that didn't happen. Mother High Heaven was right. Their enemies had been beaten back thoroughly and were on their last legs.
He thought to himself with pity, "It looks like even the help of many world gods won't change the fate of the Tyrant Realm. The Tyrant Realm will fall."
