Chapter 530: War of Hell (II)
While the battles in the sky at the limit of Aether’s atmosphere were beyond amazing, the ones taking place on the ground were hundreds of times more bloody. Millions of Wave Warriors and Wace Champions clashed with all their power, killing each other while keeping an eye above to avoid becoming collateral damage from the fight of the Wave Kings.
The war that began with the Great Cataclysm had not ceased for a single day, and the number of casualties on both sides was incalculable. The destruction had already leveled several sectors, and its flames covered the entire upper side of Gaia, displacing hundreds of millions of people to the Collapsing Lightning Sector, the only place where they could be safe from the grueling war.
Typically, a war of this level would only last for a short time since the Godslayer Human Empire was not any weaker than the Inferno Daemon Empire, and they had the home advantage. Unfortunately, while the cataclysm affected Gaia and Atlas, the Godslayer Human Empire’s situation was way worse.
Your journey continues on
The capital constantly battled endless hordes of mutated beasts while the southern Sectors were in turmoil with hundreds of rogue organizations sowing chaos.
The Imperial Lightning Fort was strong, but there was a limit to the size of its force. Unfortunately, no matter how much reinforcement the Collapsing Lightning Duke requested, none came.
Ultimately, the Collapsing Lightning Duke was forced to take leadership over this area of the empire and face the threat with his own hands and the help of people outside the Imperial Army.
The battle in the sky lasted for nearly five hours before the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the Void King put distance between them. Both were severely injured with broken bones and cuts that tore through muscles, yet their vitality did not weaken, making evident just how strong their bodies were.
After exchanging glances, the Collapsing Lightning Duke sent a signal, just as the Void King did, and both forces began to separate, from the True Titans in the highest sky to the Wave Warriors and Wave Champions on the ground.
Although the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the Void King could keep fighting, in their current condition, the next wound could be the final one, and without them, their armies would fall. That was a bet neither was willing to take.
