Chapter 1869 War [11]

There weren't many people left to be specifically focused on.

Of course, Damien met many people on his journey to the top. Of them, most remained nearby and were willing to either fight for him or with him.

However, not all of them were able to reach the greatest heights.

People like Tian Yang or Elvira were of vital importance to Damien himself, but their roles in this war were no more than any other Divinity. They were strong. Their growth rate was amazing considering both their age and their circumstances.

Unfortunately, they were only amazing when compared to the average individual. Elvira had ascended to Godhood, but only recently. Tian Yang had to start over after his shattered Divinity was returned, so he was barely able to reach the peak of Demigodhood by now.

There was no telling what would happen in the future, especially since the Void's blessing did subtly touch them. Still, their stories would not be completed in this final war.

Interestingly enough, there were two people who stood out from that majority who didn't have the same sort of connection to Damien as his blood family or his wives.

Long Chen and Su Ren.

These two sword practitioners who became his closest friends over the course of their time together were in a unique position.

There were two reasons for this. Firstly, the sword path was that kind of road. It was extremely difficult to traverse at the beginning because it was not a natural law. To make great accomplishments meant to train until death and reach enlightenment through battle.

What those practitioners who stuck with it until the end received was an easy road in their later years. Because all sword paths eventually connected back into a single river of knowledge spawned from the living mind, sword practitioners would eventually reach a state where any and all swordsmanship would become easy for them to comprehend.

After that, the only thing one required to continue ascending was the growth of one's Legend.

Both Long Chen and Su Ren were geniuses of their generation. And, when the second reason came into play, their genius was bolstered to a new level. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Void's blessing that others didn't receive was effective on them. The Void may not have acknowledged friends as beings with enough importance to provide with a blessing, but Damien did.

Damien wanted to see the two of them become just as strong as him. Sometimes, it got annoying to remember that there was such a huge gap between them.

His wishes manifested as a sort of special blessing that they were able to make use of. With its help, both of them were nearing the peak of the swords they chased.

Their paths were different, but that was only because they chose to express themselves differently.

In terms of growth, they were evenly matched. Both of them were Gods by now. They were only in the middle of that level, but that was irrelevant. The two of them were not fighting Dukes like Zara and Alea.

His swordsmanship was strong and direct. All of his attacks were telegraphed, however, even if one knew where they were coming from, they were impossible to avoid.

With such techniques, he was even able to push Grand Dukes.

Killing them, on the other hand, was a different story.

To truly break a Grand Duke's defense was only possible with Supreme God-level power. The only way to circumvent this law...

...was it not to eradicate that defense entirely?

Long Chen's sword was sharp enough to cut through the flesh of a Supreme God. Behind him, he had a force that could take care of the energy.

The moment he saw an opportunity, Su Ren would appear and strike, throwing the enemy off balance and slicing their energy apart.

Long Chen could completely capitalize on that opportunity and kill them.

This strategy worked like a charm. On such a chaotic and expansive battlefield, it was impossible for the enemies to learn from the deaths of their allies.

As such, ironically, the Long Chen-Su Ren duo had a much greater impact on the overall war situation than any of Damien's wives.

Speaking of Damien...

It was curious how the war could progress without any signs of his fight with the Dark God, was it not?

The Dark God existed in the folds of the Sacred Abyss Universe's space. Even if the two of them moved to a different plane, at least the initial impact would cause some sort of scene.

This kind of quiet made people assume that those two great beings had not yet met.

But everyone who thought that was wrong.

In fact, Damien approached the Dark God only minutes after the fighting started.

What happened between them...
