Chapter 1171 An Outer God’s Definition of Victory [Part 1]
The night passed without any incidents as both sides rested for the inevitable clash that was bound to happen once the sun rose from the East. Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
This development made the leaders of the different factions uneasy.
They had prepared themselves for a sneak attack during the night, but the Abyssal Lords didn't do such a thing.
"What do you think?" King Azza asked Keoza, who was looking towards the West where the Abyssal Fortress was.
"I can only think of three things," Keoza replied.
"Three things?" King Azza arched an eyebrow.
Keoza nodded. "The first reason why they didn't attack is because they might be very confident that no matter what we do, we will not be able to break past their defenses.
"The second reason is because, just like us, they might be analyzing their opponent's strength while looking for weaknesses."
"Last but not the least, they might simply be buying time."
King Azza frowned after hearing the third reason.
"Buying time?" King Azza asked. "Buying time for what?"
Keoza shrugged because he also had no idea what their enemies were thinking. He was only supposed to give two reasons, but he said the third reason that had been nagging at his mind for quite some time.
He believed that the Outer God thought differently and didn't view victory and defeat the way they did.
This was evident when he heard that Nyarlathotep had ordered his clone to detonate itself in Agartha by absorbing the Abyssal Army in order to strengthen his attack.
The complete disregard for the well-being of his allies was something that made the Outer God unpredictable.
As long as he was able to reach his goal, he didn't care what method he used to achieve it. This kind of enemy was very dangerous to face because one could never predict what they would do.
"Well, it's no use worrying about these things," King Azza commented. "Our goal remains the same."
Maeve sneered before waving her hand.
The Blast Bombs then moved according to her command, evading the spells and attacks that were unleashed to destroy them.
All of the Blast Bombs were coated by Maeve's Power, giving her the ability to control and detonate them with a thought.
This was the strategy that the Alliance had come up with during their meeting, which they deemed would force the Abyssal Army to react to their long-distance barrage.
After seeing that their attacks weren't hitting their targets, the Abyssal Lords immediately scattered, flying in different directions in order to save themselves from the explosions that would follow afterward.
As someone who had experienced the same suffering in the past, Maeve truly knew what it meant to have one of these Nuclear-Level Blast Bombs explode right in front of someone's face.
An explosion that was more powerful than the first, rocked the surroundings.
The Abyssal Lords who were not able to escape the range of the blast used their strongest defensive abilities to protect themselves from the brunt of its might.
Some were able to escape and only suffered from minor injuries.
However, a handful weren't too lucky, and they were vaporized by the concentrated might of the Blast Bombs that detonated at the same time.
"Prepare the Third Bombardment!" Maeve shouted.
However, this time, something happened that caught them by surprise.
Right under the formation of the floating islands, several giant tentacles emerged from the ground.
These tentacles then extended themselves to grab hold of some of the flying ships, which weren't flying too high.
Just as they thought that these tentacles would pull them down to the ground, smaller tentacles branched out from the giant tentacles and opened up like flowers.
Hiding within the tentacles were countless Abyssal Monsters, who immediately boarded the flying ships, and engaged the Alliance in combat.
Some of the Giant Tentacles unleashed countless flying Abyssal Monsters, which flew towards the floating islands with the intention of causing as much destruction as possible.
The abominations that they had seen a day ago were also part of the invading forces.
This time, these alien-like creatures had wings protruding from their backs, and laughed in a creepy manner, making the hearts of those who heard it shudder.
