Chapter 682: The War Begins

Starting in March, the Alliance of Gods' invasion of Alaska suddenly accelerated. In just one month, they sent a total of three million soldiers into Alaska, bringing the Alliance's total military strength to 4.5 million.

At this time, although the Alliance of Gods had already built twenty-nine large military bases within Alaskan territory, such a massive deployment of troops still strained their supply capacity to the limit.

Meanwhile, a large-scale commerce raiding campaign was taking place in the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Countless angels, sea monsters, giants, and even gods of the Alliance of Gods, along with hundreds of submarines and high-speed destroyers, were active in this vast ocean.

However, they were mostly executing 'anti-commerce raiding operations,' because by the end of February, the Arctic shipping route between the Slavic Empire and Maple Leaf Country had been suspended, and they began using heavily funded nuclear submarines to transport strategic materials, causing the Alliance of Gods' carefully prepared heavy punch to hit nothing.

At this time, it was the Destiny Alliance's numerous submarines, two sub-legions of the Divine Wing Knights, the Ninth Divine Will Legion directly under 'Battle Angel' Robertte, and a large number of medium-range missiles that kept them on the run.

The Destiny Alliance's industrial capacity and human resources far surpassed those of their enemies. Taking submarines as an example, the Destiny Alliance currently possessed fifteen times the number of their opponents. Excluding escort submarines and transport submarines, the total number of attack submarines in service was as high as 2,900, with hull ages basically within three years and technological content far exceeding that of their rivals. Therefore, the Destiny Alliance's maritime trade was only partially affected, while the Alliance of Gods' global ocean freight was completely cut off.

Robertte's Ninth Divine Will Legion was currently the smallest of the fifteen Divine Will Legions, but it was also the essence of Li Mochen's direct forces. The members of this legion were all angels promoted from petitioners, not only possessing considerable combat ability but also excellent speed and mobility.

Especially in the past year, the magical armor 'Holy Soul' developed by Light Magic Industries for the Divine Will Legion had generally enhanced the combat effectiveness of these soul bodies in the material plane.

As for the two Divine Wing Knight Legions active in the Bering Sea, they were specifically prepared for naval warfare and commerce raiding. Their magical combat suits were all equipped with special naval warfare and supercavitation modules.

The latter was based on a physical phenomenon: when an object's speed in water exceeds 185 km/h, a peculiar large-scale water vapor trench forms at its tail, enveloping the part of the object in contact with water. The medium the object contacts changes from water to water vapor. Since air density is only 1/773 that of water, resistance is greatly reduced, and a large air bubble forms on the object's surface—the so-called 'supercavitation phenomenon.'

Light Magic Industries and Huaxia had conducted in-depth research on this technology, allowing their Divine Wing Knights to use specialized equipment to achieve extreme speeds of Mach 20 to Mach 40 underwater.

In a resistive environment, even gods with 'powerful' divine positions might not necessarily reach this speed.

The same technology was also installed on almost all submarines, allowing them to reach an astonishing speed of 200 knots, truly achieving a single strike kill and traveling thousands of miles.

This evidently gave the Alliance of Gods a severe headache, forcing the four major pantheons to concentrate nearly 70% of their naval forces in the Bering Sea to ensure the safety of all supply convoys.

As a result, Thetis's two small-scale counterattacks in the Mediterranean and Atlantic respectively both achieved great success.

Moreover, throughout May, the Alliance of Gods lost four gods due to 'anti-commerce raiding operations,' and thirty-four converted cargo ships of over 50,000 tons were sunk, with countless other losses.

At the same time, however, the wars between the gods in the Old Continent, Africa, and the Middle East had completely ceased.

'It seems they have reached a comprehensive ceasefire agreement. I noticed that among the troops recently landed in Alaska, there are 400,000 Ahura's 'Guardian Corps.' This is an army Ahura has been forming in the Persian Plateau over the past three years, selecting elites from the entire Truth Religion world and equipping them with the most cutting-edge weapons. Currently, its total strength does not exceed one million.'

The intelligence provided by Heydrich to Li Mochen was startling.

'In addition, the Olympian Pantheon and the Lord of Light have also increased their investment. The former has deployed their 'Olympian Warrior Legion,' while the Church of Light has sent their reorganized 'Knights Templar' to Alaska. Their forces now occupy nearly half of Alaska. Clearly, this agreement has united them, giving them stronger cohesion and more ample mobilization of materials and personnel.'

'Also, I noticed that temples of Gaia and Rhea have been built all over the world, and their priests have intensified missionary efforts. They are doing it very covertly, but it cannot escape my eyes.'

The existence of the 'Eye of Secrets' allowed him to spy on and perceive any mysteries beneath 'Truth,' increasing Heydrich's intelligence-gathering capability by at least seven times.

'As expected!'

Li Mochen immediately felt immense pressure, but he was not surprised. It was only a matter of time before Gaia allied with his enemies; it was bound to happen. And the 'death' of Nyx's main body accelerated this process.

Yet Li Mochen did not regret it. He had to eliminate one of the variables—Gaia and Nyx—that could influence the Alaskan war situation. Li Mochen's character determined that he could not entrust the outcome of this war to the will and choices of these two goddesses.

'What about Nyx? Have you found any new developments?'

'I am still working on it. I have already located seven of the Night Goddess's split souls; they are hiding in other worlds. For now, what you need to pay most attention to is the part of her soul concealed beneath the Arctic ice cap. I sense she is drawing power from her followers, and in addition, the power of Slaanesh may be seeping in.'

Heydrich frowned: 'Evidence is that her control over the Eternal Night Warriors is weakening.'

'Weakening?'

Li Mochen's gaze sharpened: 'Tell me the details, Heydrich.'

'I suspect that under the influence of Slaanesh, the Night Goddess's divine nature has undergone some changes, coupled with her soul being in a state of collapse and decomposition. This has accelerated the rate at which Lady Ishtar is corrupting the Eternal Night Warriors. It is estimated that Lady Ishtar can currently control three of the nine Eternal Night Legions—meaning to the extent that they can be deployed in combat. If the decisive battle occurs in July, the number of Eternal Night Legions under Lady Ishtar's control could increase to five.'

Heydrich explained the reasons: 'However, Nyx's awakening will also accelerate. She may awaken from beneath the Arctic ice cap within half a year to a year. This could even affect the seal on Chaos.'

'Then there is no need to worry!'

A smile appeared on Li Mochen's face: 'Continue monitoring Nyx. Next, shift your focus to the Aesir Pantheon. Ensure the smooth implementation of our 'Twilight' plan.'

At that moment, Li Mochen's expression shifted slightly, and he quickly ended his conversation with Heydrich. He stepped out, crossing in a single stride to the core of the Underworld, the back garden of the Twilight Dragon City Palace.

There he saw Angela standing in the center of the garden, smiling as she looked ten paces ahead, where a tall figure stood, identical to Li Mochen in form, appearance, and even temperament.

Beside Angela was a massive blue dragon shimmering with dreamlike luster.

Li Mochen first nodded slightly to the blue dragon: 'Good day, Lady Olivia!'

This was Angela's ancestor, the 'Dream Dragon God' Olivia.

'It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty the Lord of Fate!'

Olivia also lowered her head in return: 'I have something to discuss with you, but I see you two have much to talk about, so I will not intrude.'

As she spoke, her entire dragon form dissolved into bubbles and vanished.

Li Mochen turned his gaze to Angela and the other 'himself' before her.

'Angela, have you broken through in your Dream Divine Authority?'

'Yes, I have! Thanks to Olivia's guidance, I have made great progress in the past two years. Her understanding of dreams has helped me a lot.'

Angela's voice was spirited and proud: 'You came just in time. Give it a try.'

Just then, another 'Li Mochen' ahead of Angela pointed a finger at Li Mochen from afar. In an instant, the flow of time around the latter suddenly accelerated.

"Is this ultimate time?"

Li Mochen raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of delight appearing in his eyes: "Not bad."

This meant that Angela's 'Dream' divine authority had indeed broken through to the pseudo-truth level. With Olivia's guidance, Angela's progress in dreams was indeed astonishing. It also showed that this Dragon God's individual strength and foundation were worthy of being a dragon capable of opening its own bloodline.

As he thought, the divine power in his body expanded and contracted, breaking the time acceleration, and then he sensed that the other party was weaving his own thread of fate.

This was ultimate fate—

By this time, Li Mochen had already perceived that the other's mastery of time and fate was not far from his own. Their levels were above ultimate, but neither had reached the pseudo-truth rank, and their foundations were illusory and unstable. Only the divine power base this fellow possessed was actually superior to his.

But with such strength, even without powerful mythical armaments, he could still face a deputy god-king of Hades' level on the front lines.

Just as Li Mochen calmed all his own fate and causality, the other snapped his fingers, causing over three hundred swords to appear in the sky, spreading across a hundred miles, and then a colossal sword qi slashed down toward him.

"Interesting!"

A strange light flickered in Li Mochen's eyes, and then he pointed from afar, shattering all those swords.

But this was not because Angela's 'Dream' divine authority was weak; it was because Li Mochen wielded the pseudo-truth-level 'Star' divine authority and the ultimate 'Metal' divine authority, along with the true 'All-Heaven Thunder Fire Star Core Sword Formation'.

In fact, this sword formation had already been imagined by Angela to about thirty to forty percent of its power, already bearing some style of a pseudo-truth-level mythical armament.

"Then what about my Crimson Dragon Armor? Can it be manifested?"

"It can, but I can't imagine the abilities of that star beast."

Angela shook her head: "Now, fewer than ten people know about this. How can I manifest it? Besides, my Manifestation divine authority is only at a high rank."

So the 'Li Mochen' she manifested now was not through her own divine authority but through magic, a supreme technique called 'Fantasy Manifestation'.

Moreover, the source of these fantasies came from the world's perception of the 'Lord of Fate' and the 'All-Heaven Thunder Fire Star Core Sword Formation', and then through the network, the collective consciousness of these people was connected and condensed.

The 'Lord of Fate' now had tens of billions of believers, and those who knew of this 'Lord of Fate's' legends and divine might were even more numerous, at least sixty billion across all of America. They did not believe in the 'Lord of Fate', but they revered his divine power.

As for the 'All-Heaven Thunder Fire Star Core Sword Formation', 'Heavenly Fate Sword', and 'Crimson Dragon Armor', these were mythical armaments known to many, so Angela could manifest them again with her pseudo-truth-level 'Dream'.

But the star beast Li Mochen had slain, and the new abilities of the 'Crimson Dragon Armor', were still known to few, so Angela had no way to proceed.

Angela also couldn't manifest the 'Wishing Tower', because the pagoda she manifested couldn't respond to people's prayers, even though this powerful mythical armament was already famous in the Bright World.

This made Angela slightly dejected. Li Mochen had opened all permissions to her, allowing her to imagine and manifest everything about him. Yet even so, Angela could only manifest a phantom body with half of Li Mochen's strength.

This was partly due to Angela's own lack of strength and low divine rank, partly due to the insufficient population of the Bright World, and finally due to the limitations of 'Dream' itself.

Indeed, as Li Mochen had said, 'Dream' was powerful, but it could not let her reach the other shore.

"The main issue is the divine authority. Your understanding of my time and fate is still insufficient, and this 'War' is not used like this. You could have done better. If you confront Hades in this state, within ten minutes at most, he will see through the tiger skin you're wearing."

At this moment, Li Mochen also experienced the War divine authority of the manifested 'Li Mochen', finding it vastly different from his own, with many flaws. He shattered the other's divine power almost effortlessly.

War is the result of irreconcilable conflicts and contradictions. Its essence is to exhaust all possible means, unite all forces that can be united, to defeat enemies that cannot be resolved through politics and diplomacy.

Angela clearly did not understand this. The 'Li Mochen' she fantasized and manifested also failed to grasp these essentials. She was neither adept at creating conflicts and contradictions nor skilled in using timing, terrain, and human harmony.

Of course, if she could fully understand, she would now be able to master the high-level War divine authority.

But the 'Dream' divine authority didn't need to go that far. Angela only needed to know what abilities ultimate time, fate, and war could possess. The 'Li Mochen' she fantasized could naturally use the power of dreams to distort reality and achieve similar effects.

"Amo, has your 'War' divine authority reached the truth level?"

Angela first widened her eyes in surprise, then pouted: "That's because I'm not familiar with your current situation, and I lack understanding of these new divine authorities you've mastered."

"War hasn't reached truth level yet, but it's close. My War divine格 is now at nineteen, and my believers far exceed the limit."

At least seven hundred million of Li Mochen's believers now believed in him because of war.

Most of these people were strong soldiers, so their divine souls and wills were superior to ordinary people. Their faith was also much firmer than that of common believers. These seven hundred million war believers alone could support two War Lords with divine格 twenty.

This created an overflow effect, further strengthening his divine authority on its original basis. Unfortunately, the rule that every ten levels of divine格 could only enhance one rank of divine authority remained unchangeable.

Of course, his five strands of merit purple qi could now, after enhancing time, also raise war to the truth level.

"You're right, Anqi. You indeed don't know enough about my current situation and the divine authorities I've recently mastered. So for the next two months, I'll stay here."

As he spoke, he quietly placed his hand on Anqi's slender waist.

"You've been in seclusion too long, haven't you? I think we really need to get to know each other more deeply."

By this time, Angela was blushing, and even the things she had fantasized and manifested began to twist and become extremely unstable.

※※※※

The matters Olivia wanted to discuss with Li Mochen were related to the outer realms. After a two-hour private meeting, this Dream Dragon left the Bright World very satisfied.

She did not join Li Mochen's pantheon, unwilling to be bound by the Supreme Dragon God. Her return from the outer realms this time had another purpose, and she taught Angela incidentally.

Angela's mother, Diana Olivia, was indeed Olivia's most beloved offspring, so love for her extended to her child. But in Li Mochen's view, this might also be a gesture of goodwill and favor toward him.

Now, Olivia's lessons were mostly complete, and it was time for her to leave.

For the next two months, Li Mochen stayed in the underworld as he had promised. Every day, he spent some time demonstrating his various abilities to Angela, allowing her to deepen her familiarity and understanding of her husband.

At the beginning of June in the year 4003 of the Bright Calendar, Li Mochen embarked on two more time travels. Unfortunately, this time he found no opportunity to strike at his enemies. His foes had taken thorough precautions, leaving him no opening to exploit.

Once the time span exceeded three months, it became extremely difficult for Li Mochen to kill someone without disturbing the river of time.

Of course, this difficulty referred to the main god level; below that, it was unnecessary. Unless there was substantial gain, the cost would outweigh the benefit. Thus, during these two time travels, Li Mochen primarily focused on inspecting and maintaining the Bright World. Then, near the end of the river, he refined his 'Twilight' plan, mainly polishing some details to prevent his enemies from detecting flaws when the plan was actually implemented.

In fact, these two time travels were also part of his plan.

Then, at the end of June, Li Mochen's Destiny Manor magic tower was successfully expanded to forty-four stories. The radiance of fate and time now covered and enveloped the Divine Kingdom of Destiny and all the divine lands of the gods of destiny!

This was a sign that the power of laws inscribed within his magic tower had grown strong enough to invade or even cover the outer realms. It meant that his 'starlight' was now scattered across the myriad worlds, and the divine kingdoms of his subordinate gods would also be sheltered under his wings. No longer would they have to abandon the peripheral divine lands of subordinate gods in times of war, as they had half a year ago.

The expansion of the magic tower also boosted Li Mochen's personal strength. With the magical energy array inscribed in the tower, he finally elevated both the divine authorities of 'Annihilation' and 'Fusion' to the pseudo-truth level.

This was an important step for Li Mochen toward the truth of 'Destiny'. To distort and change fate, one's own power was crucial.

And 'Annihilation' and 'Fusion' not only greatly enhanced his individual combat strength but also strengthened his endurance to an unparalleled degree.

Li Mochen's next steps were 'Absorption' and 'Tearing'. With the truth-level 'Absorption' and 'Tearing' of the Star Beast as reference, his progress in these two divine authorities would be rapid.

Almost simultaneously, Li Mochen's physical divine rank, under the accumulation of countless mythical treasures, finally broke through seventeen and entered the main god level.

This was entirely the result of piling up drugs and wish spells, making Li Mochen's physical foundation very unstable. However, he had already planned to make no further improvements in his physical body for three hundred years.

He anticipated that the final归宿 of the supreme god of the Bright World would be decided within the next ten years. If he were to improve step by step using normal methods, even if he spent forty or fifty years, his current physical divine rank would not exceed fifteen.

In the upcoming war of the gods in Alaska, even a little more mana or a bit more physical strength could increase his chances of victory. Therefore, Li Mochen would rather pay a greater price in the future than fail to improve as much as possible in the near term. If this was called 'spoiling the crop by helping it grow,' then he wished he could pull himself up as high as possible.

This was also thanks to these two回溯 of the river of time, which allowed Li Mochen to gain another 3.3 billion strands of merit. Only then could he ensure that Angel's 'Dream' was elevated to the pseudo-truth level while sustaining the losses from his physical training.

Five days after this, the six-million-strong army of the Gods' Alliance in Alaska began advancing into Maple Leaf Country. They did not waste time on cities like Juneau and Anchorage, which had been fortified almost into fortresses, merely dispatching 400,000 troops to pin them down. The rest of the army split into three routes, starting to cross the towering Alaska Range and Rocky Mountains.

The rugged terrain and ice between the two mountain ranges posed no obstacle to them. In just two days, the vanguard of the Alliance of Gods had reached the border of Maple Leaf Country.

This was the elite force of the four major pantheons, with the lowest threshold being level twelve magical energy professionals, all fanatical believers willing to sacrifice their lives for their gods.

These powerful warriors, undaunted by the cold and needing no tools, could effortlessly scale steep mountains that seemed like impassable chasms to mortals and traverse rivers, lakes, and seas as if they were flat ground. They required little supplies; aside from necessary ammunition, their needs were minimal, and they didn't even need battery modules, gasoline, or magic stones.

Li Mochen had personally opened his spiritual eyes to observe their march and found, as Heydrich had said, that these warriors of the Alliance of Gods, though carrying equipment and supplies weighing over nine thousand kilograms, barely activated their magical power armor, walking on foot through the undulating mountains.

They even carried numerous heavy weapons. The heavy tank 'Lightning Striker,' developed by the Church of Light, weighed seventy-seven tons, yet these powerful warriors carried it across the mountains on their shoulders and by hand. The 'Mjolnir' heavy cannon, weighing twelve hundred tons, was lifted lightly through the air by their demigod warriors. Additionally, they carried a vast number of spatial equipment, over ten thousand in total, as if all the spatial-type mythical armaments of the Old Continent had been concentrated here.

There is an Eastern idiom: 'burn the boats and break the cauldrons.'

On the twenty-eighth floor of the Destiny Township magic tower, Li Mochen couldn't help but sigh: 'From them, I see the momentum of burning boats and breaking cauldrons, of staking everything on a single throw.'

He estimated that even the nine hundred and sixty main divisions deployed by the Destiny Alliance at the Maple Leaf Country border might not be able to stop this elite force of the Alliance of Gods.

This also means our enemies have no other methods left. What's that called? 'The Guizhou donkey has exhausted its tricks,' right?

Fenrir sneered: 'Ludendorff, do you have the confidence to block their offensive? Relying on this Rocky Mountain range should be easy, shouldn't it?'

He was asking Ludendorff, the 'God of War Organization and Defense,' a Teutonic deity who was a true master of defense. The current war in Myanmar was being directed by Ludendorff, and the situation there was the most reassuring for the Destiny gods. Although the Destiny Alliance was at a numerical disadvantage, their overall defense was as solid as iron. Ludendorff had even organized at least three counterattacks, nearly draining the blood of the Beast Empire's warriors along this defensive line.

The wolf Fenrir had cooperated with him several times and knew his abilities. Coupled with Ludendorff's own frost giant bloodline, he trusted him greatly.

It can't be stopped, Prince Fenrir.

Ludendorff shook his head: 'Looking at their march route, they don't intend to invade Maple Leaf Country but plan to pass through the Rocky Mountains and the Cordillera system to reach the west coast of America. The problem is that the Rocky Mountains are too vast; we cannot completely block their advance if they disperse.'

This single statement made all the gods present change color slightly. They dared not imagine what would happen if these five million elite soldiers of the Alliance of Gods entered American territory.

The west coast of America, centered on major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, is the most vital region of the American Federation, holding thirty-two percent of the federation's population and forty percent of its industrial output. If this area fell into chaos, it would be a major blow to the Destiny Pantheon.

"His Highness Prince Ludendorff's judgment is correct."

Garcia Ferren, the God of Strategy, sighed: "Although we had anticipated this as early as half a year ago and exhausted all resources to do everything we could, it is regrettable that without the intervention of high-ranking deities, we cannot completely seal off this vast mountain range."

The consequence of divine intervention would be a large-scale divine war. The Rocky Mountains were undoubtedly one of the regions where their power was weakest. Over the past six months, he and Bismarck had gone all out, building only thirty-seven permanent fortresses along the border, with defensive arrays covering the entire borderline. Yet this was far from achieving the effect of the Battle of Granden Sea in supporting the gods of destiny.

"In fact, no matter how tightly we build our defenses, it's useless."

Guderian shook his head: "Don't forget, Gaia may already be on their side. And Gaia and Rhea—they were both once Earth Mother Goddesses! Apart from those permanent fortresses on the front lines that can withstand magnitude 10 seismic waves, we have nothing else to rely on."

"Then there is no choice."

Li Mochen made the final decision, rising from his throne: "I intend to deploy all forces to fight in Alaska. Any objections?"

His gaze swept across the faces of the gods below the steps—Ishtar, Prometheus, Fenrir, Eo and Heracles, Atlas, and others—but he saw no sign of fear in their expressions. On the contrary, several of them even looked eager to try.

This made Li Mochen's lips curl slightly, extremely satisfied.

"Then prepare for battle! Although this all-in move comes a month earlier than planned, fortunately, we have already secured all the chips we needed. I hope our opponents won't be too surprised."

※※※※

"The vanguard of the First Army Group has made contact."

At the same time, the Aesir gods, led by 'Thor' the Thunder God and 'Tyr' the War God, were floating in the sky above Alaska. Ten kilometers away stood the host of angels, including 'Michael' the King of Holy War and 'Gabriel' the Divine Sheriff; further off were the Greek gods, such as 'Apollo' the Sun God and 'Hephaestus' the Forge God; and also 'Mithra' the Radiant Angel and 'Atar' the Flame Angel under Ahura's command.

Though they stood together, there was little communication among the factions; all were gazing into the distance at the warriors advancing on the march.

The First Army Group that Tyr spoke of was located at the southernmost tip of Alaska, advancing almost along the 'Alaska Highway.' Their vanguard was only 420 kilometers from the two permanent fortresses built by the Alliance of Destiny.

Those two fortresses, built against the Rocky Mountains, firmly locked the border between Alaska and Maple Leaf Country. Surrounding them were extensive earthworks, protective walls and trenches made of reinforced concrete, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers left and right, reminiscent of China's Great Wall. There were three layers of such defenses.

As the war continued, 'Tyr' the War God had gained a deeper understanding of modern warfare. He knew that under normal circumstances, this line of defense was almost impossible to breach with conventional methods.

If not for the one who had already confirmed participation in this war, their only feasible strategy would be to choose a weak point and charge through with human wave tactics, regardless of casualties. Once they entered the Rocky Mountains, the Alliance of Destiny would be helpless against them.

But now, they had a better option.

In the next instant, where Tyr's gaze fell, a sudden earthquake shook the mountains and land, spanning thousands of kilometers north to south. It started with slight tremors, but after ten minutes, the shaking grew increasingly violent, cracking the earth and collapsing mountain ranges.

'Tyr' the War God knew at a glance that the magnitude had exceeded 9.

The tremors could have been stronger, but the opposing pantheon of destiny had already intervened, doing their best to calm the earth's pulse. That should be 'Christine' the Earth Angel, who once helped the Lord of Destiny defend against a world collision.

Her power had evidently increased; her divine authority over earth had likely reached 'Pseudo-Truth.' Even facing two Earth Mother Goddesses of divine king rank, she could still protect those permanent fortresses from damage.

Credit also went to the mages, whose 'Supreme Laws' and various spells kept the concrete and steel as tough as ever. Even if cracks appeared, they could be quickly repaired.

At this moment, the clusters of the Divine Alliance on three fronts had all halted their advance, awaiting the outcome of this clash. However, the result of this massive army waiting passively on flat ground was a dense bombardment from the particle beam artillery groups arranged by the Alliance of Destiny atop the Alaskan mountains, as well as the heavy artillery of that defensive line.

The two hundred 'Dragon's Roar' cannons remained ready but unfired, yet aside from these, the Alliance of Destiny had another 1,400 secondary heavy cannons, 'Death's Declaration.'

Fortunately, they had anticipated this. Groups of angels descended into the material plane, intercepting the shells in midair.

'Thor' the Thunder God, 'Apollo' the Sun God, 'Michael' the King of Holy War, and 'Mithra' the Radiant Angel also acted simultaneously, doing their utmost to deflect the incoming particle beam heavy cannons.

At this moment, all the gods were immensely grateful that the pantheon of destiny had neither a Sun God nor a Thunder God, nor a God of Light. Only a few, like the Lord of Destiny and the Supreme Dragon God Aeodon, held some authority over light and thunder.

The power of these particle beam heavy cannons was terrifying. The charged particles accelerated to light speed, though their energy decayed rapidly due to friction with air molecules, were deadly weapons within 8,000 to 12,000 kilometers. Each charged particle possessed unparalleled penetrating power, and upon striking a solid object, could directly trigger thermonuclear fusion, creating violent explosions.

This made Tyr frown slightly, staring at the peaks of the Alaskan mountains.

He knew that up there, 200 even more powerful particle beam cannons had yet to join the attack sequence. They were clearly being reserved for the subsequent divine war. When the gods' battle became intense and Thor and the others were pinned down, they might not have the strength to control these heavy killer weapons of the enemy.
