Chapter 697: Gluttony

About fifty star-distances from the Bright World, the sky-obscuring 'Blood Feast Lord' was sailing through the void, carrying an immense swarm of insects. Inside one of the largest 'Lords', at the topmost blood pool, the mountain-like figure of Khorne was projected. Opposite him was the Lord of Slaanesh, also projected in spiritual form.

At this moment, both of their eyes held undisguised disgust.

For the mighty Khorne, all gods were his enemies, but he harbored an even more extreme hostility toward the Lord of Joy—Slaanesh.

Slaanesh's pursuit of sensory pleasure and hedonistic nature sharply opposed Khorne's creed of destruction and blood above all. In the mortal world, their respective followers inherited their masters' will, constantly slaughtering each other.

Yet neither side could ever claim victory. That Slaanesh's followers indulged in killing was something Khorne was willing to see; but the pleasure Khorne's followers derived from slaughter and destruction made them unable to resist Slaanesh's influence.

Even Khorne himself could not escape the influence of desire and pleasure.

"At least I helped you this time. Can you be a little polite?"

Slaanesh crossed his arms, not attempting to seduce Khorne, knowing it would be futile.

"If not for the things I provided, your swarm would still be struggling in that dying world."

"You only helped yourself. The rising power in the Bright World ruined your plans. You needed the strength of these children of mine!"

Khorne glared at Slaanesh: "Less nonsense, alright? Give me what I want. This is our first alliance in ten thousand years, unless you want to face failure."

Every word they spoke carried malice and powerful laws of force, causing the flesh cells of this 'Lord' around them to collapse and disintegrate piece by piece.

Slaanesh shrugged: "But I'm hesitating. After all, this is creating a future competitor with my own hands."

"If we fail, there will be no competition between us. That Lord of Fate, his power is rapidly growing."

Khorne snorted, his demeanor and tone devoid of urgency: "You have no other choice, do you? Right now, only this little toy I brought here with these lovely bugs can help you."

Slaanesh looked at the blood pool, where a crimson statue holding a scythe stood, then sighed: "You're right, so I've decided to give up. Though it's a pity and will cause some trouble in the future, I don't necessarily have to complete my plan."

His tone was full of mockery: "You can have your bugs return now. There are plenty of more suitable targets for them in the surrounding worlds."

Khorne's gaze shifted, and he finally snorted. He waved his hand, causing a wall of flesh in the Blood Feast Lord to explode, revealing another crimson statue of slightly different shape, which he threw to Slaanesh.

"I guessed it. This must be Nurgle's idea. Two nearly creation-level god-kings, both deprived of joy and desire by you. Your malice toward me truly sends chills down my spine."

Slaanesh pointed into the void, shattering the statue into dust, unleashing a wave of immense destructive force that spread through the surrounding void. If not for Khorne's spiritual presence here, most of the Blood Feast Lords here would have been directly killed.

After this, Slaanesh threw a blood-red crystal into the nearby blood pool.

"This is the so-called 'Philosopher's Stone' made by my followers in the Bright World. It contains the souls and essence of twenty-five million people, including dozens of gods. It's enough to awaken your toy."

At the same time, Slaanesh's projected spiritual form here began to dissipate.

In fact, it had already left when he threw the 'Philosopher's Stone'.

But in the next instant, a huge blood-red hand suddenly reached out from the blood pool, extending into the boundless void without damaging the surrounding flesh walls. After just one breath, the hand retracted. Slaanesh's spiritual form was caught in its grip, yet this Chaos Lord offered no resistance, instead laughing: "Are you sure you want to do this? The cost is not small—"

However, before he could finish, a massive head emerged from the blood pool and swallowed Slaanesh in one gulp.

Khorne watched coldly, his eyes showing pleasure and appreciation. But then he frowned, suppressing the joy that Slaanesh had stirred.

About three minutes later, a figure finally coalesced in the blood pool. It was a being as robust and wild as a bull, its face covered in knife-like patterns, its body bearing insect-like carapaces, its three pairs of arms and legs resembling insect limbs, and two pairs of huge wings spreading from its back.

When it roared, the swarms within the hundreds of thousands of demon insect lords in the void boiled.

—They knew the king of their race had descended!

※※※※

The war between the Destiny Alliance and the Beast Empire erupted abruptly less than two hours after Li Mochen led the gods back to the Bright World.

All parliaments and governments within the alliance passed the war declaration within half an hour. No one attempted to stop it, partly because the Destiny Church's growing power gave it overwhelming influence over public opinion, and partly because the situation was truly urgent—almost everyone, except the hidden Slaanesh worshippers, felt a bone-deep chill.

War preparations had been completed before Li Mochen's return. At the order of the Military Committee Chairman of the Destiny Alliance, a total of 35,000 long-range and medium-range strategic nuclear missiles were launched successively within the next half hour.

Following this missile wave, a total of 12,000 tactical and strategic bombers of various types, carrying large numbers of tactical nuclear missiles, flew toward the Asa Continent under the escort of 37,000 fighters.

But this was only the first wave. The intensity of the second wave of attacks from the Destiny Alliance was only five percent lower than the first.

This time, the Lord of Destiny showed no mercy to the Asa mortals. For these aliens who had wantonly slaughtered civilians and committed various atrocities in Sindhu and South America, showing even a hint of weakness would be a crime against all subjects of the Destiny Alliance.

The purpose of this war was also to maximally disarm the Beast Empire and reduce its war capability, so that in a few days it could wholeheartedly deal with the new opponent from the void.

The Destiny Pantheon had to do its utmost to consolidate power and block Chaos outside the world; otherwise, the worlds that had fallen to Chaos were a cautionary tale.

The Beast Empire was clearly prepared, having set up a tight defense line to intercept. However, the intensity of the Destiny Alliance's attacks and the saturation of their missiles far exceeded expectations.

Within three hours of the war's start, countless mushroom clouds rose over this continent of over 250 million square kilometers, with gray-black smoke and dust filling the entire southern sky.

After nearly 100,000 nuclear bombs scoured the land, seventeen sub-legions of the Divine Wing Knights, along with warriors equivalent to twenty-two Divine Wing sub-legions from various nations, followed. Accompanying them were fifteen Divine Will Legions, large numbers of giants, dragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures, and 2,100 powerful gods—among them fifty-seven major gods dispatched from various pantheons.

Notably, many immortals from Huaxia also joined this time. With Chaos directly invading, this Eastern ancient country could no longer stand aloof.

Their goal was not occupation, but to hunt down all beings above demigod level in the Beast Empire with overwhelming force, intending to render the empire unable to muster sufficient military force for war in the next two hundred years.

The time limit was forty-eight hours—to slaughter to the utmost within these forty-eight hours.

Here too, numerous divine beings of rank 19, and even rank 20, led by Prometheus and the supreme dragon god Io, were stationed here to guard against the Aesir pantheon and those abominations making a last-ditch effort.

However, the war was proceeding smoothly, though Thor was furious, constantly manifesting his heavenly eye in the sky, glaring at the mortal world with murderous intent, and summoning billions of thunderbolts. Yet in the end, he did not appear directly to save his mortal subjects.

Li Mochen believed that Thor did not lack the courage to fight, but having thrown himself into the dark abyss of chaos, he was no longer free to act according to his own will.

Forty-eight hours later, as the Destiny Alliance began to withdraw from the Aesir continent, all cities on that continent had been reduced to ruins.

Contrary to Li Mochen's expectations, he had thought that after this slaughter, the karmic sin缠绕 on the 'Divine Firmament Purple Gold Tower' would increase significantly. In the worst case, it might even overwhelm the tower's suppression.

But in reality, only a wisp of black karmic sin had grown outside the tower, while the merit power had increased by 1.4 million wisps. Though not much, Li Mochen was still delighted. This battle brought no large-scale karmic entanglement, which meant gain.

It also meant that Li Mochen's decision was very correct; in the near future, these alien races under the rule of the Aesir pantheon would indeed cause great harm to this world.

In the following twelve hours, the Destiny Alliance did its utmost to adjust its deployments.

Of all thirty sub-legions of the Divine Wing Knights, twenty were deployed in the outer void. Combined with the national forces, the overall combat power was equivalent to fifty-seven Divine Wing sub-legions.

In addition, the gods mobilized a vast number of Chosen warriors and angels. Beyond the existing divine will legions, they recruited and organized twelve temporary legions.

However, this time the Destiny Pantheon's traditional advantages in weapons and technology could not be brought to bear.

The number of warships they could use in the outer domain was still only 124. Another 300 were still on the slipways. After detecting the Blood Feast Swarm, the Destiny Church and various nations had placed additional starship orders, but most had not yet begun construction.

Li Mochen's military advisors suggested building a large number of immobile floating gun platforms. Their construction cycles were usually very short; as long as the 'Destiny Stigmata' and 'Flame Dragon's Roar' particle beam cannons could keep up, one could be completed in just ten to fifteen days.

But this still took time, and distant water could not quench a nearby fire.

Moreover, all Divine Wing legions could not be equipped with modern thermal weapons. This was because gunpowder weapons were useless in the outer void; only thermal ray-type firearms could be used in the star domain.

Currently, several models of particle beam guns produced by America and China were not even fully equipped by the Divine Wing Knights. Thus, the soldiers of these divine will legions could only fight with cold weapons forged from souls.

"This time we were indeed caught off guard. Although we had already begun tilting all resources toward the outer domain, we never expected the enemies from beyond to come so quickly."

At the last military conference before engaging the Blood Feast Swarm, Guderian said very troubledly: "I personally suggest giving up the idea of completely blocking these insects from entering the Bright World. First, we simply cannot do it—it's unrealistic. Second, if our strategic objective is too clear, it can easily be exploited by the enemy. According to the research of the God of Biology, these insects have high intelligence at the upper levels, right? Then we must guard against that."

Athena also agreed with his opinion: "This is a very insightful view. Gentlemen, although the pollution of Chaos is very dangerous, the current situation is not something we can stop even if we want to. So my opinion is that several of the plans we previously formulated can be discarded, and in the coming war, we should adopt a strategy of 'grasping the big and letting go of the small.'"

"Grasping the big and letting go of the small?" Li Mochen thought that their views coincided with his own.

"Focus on intercepting those above demigod level, even targeting their powerful individuals. As for those below demigod, intercept them if possible, but if not, simply let them through."

Athena bowed slightly to Li Mochen: "Your Majesty, this is a war concerning the entire world. Our gods will strive to save this world, but mortals cannot stand aside. Resisting Chaos is the common responsibility and duty of all beings in the Bright World."

Rommel cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, considering our insufficient military strength, we might consider adjusting the defensive line. The East and West are our foundations and cannot be thrown into chaos. However, the Middle East region has not shouldered its due responsibility. As for the Arctic region, given that our three large permanent fortresses have been completed, we can slightly relax the intensity there. I heard that the followers of Slaanesh and Khorne cannot coexist?"

Li Mochen understood that this man was advising him to divert the trouble eastward.

He had no psychological barriers in this regard and was not constrained by his own divinity, but Li Mochen did not immediately agree.

However, the next few either agreed with Guderian's suggestion or subtly urged Li Mochen to appropriately tilt defensive forces toward the East and West.

Thus, Li Mochen could no longer remain indifferent: "What do Ahura and Zeus say? Still no reply?"

"No!"

This was the Magic Goddess Diana, who snorted angrily: "After all, they are gods from the outer domain. What does it matter to them if this world is destroyed?"

At this moment, only the Lord of Radiance had contributed seven angel legions to the war against Chaos. Diana herself had contributed three Magic Temple legions to this war concerning the survival of the entire world.

But the Olympian pantheon and the Church of Truth maintained a completely detached attitude.

In fact, it could not be called detachment; these two were clearly waiting for an opportunity to attack the Destiny Alliance from behind.

This also tied up a considerable portion of the Destiny Alliance's strength, forcing them to deploy ten sub-legions of the Divine Wing Knights within the Bright World.

"Then it's decided."

Li Mochen sighed inwardly, but his expression was extremely indifferent: "Next, revise the plans according to the ideas of Prince Guderian and Princess Athena. Speed must be as fast as possible; the time we have left is dwindling."

※※※※

Just five hours later, the vanguard of the Blood Feast Swarm made contact with the Destiny Alliance's defensive line.

Tens of millions of insects quickly broke through the Alliance's sparse artillery network and engaged their knights and angels in battle.

The first wave alone numbered hundreds of millions, and less than half an hour later, the main force of the Blood Feast Swarm arrived. Hundreds of billions of insects swarmed out, displaying overwhelming superiority.

They did not play the game of probing, nor did they escalate gradually; they directly threw all their strength into the attack, as unstoppable as Mount Tai.

Fortunately, the combat power of these insects generally dropped by two to three ranks after entering the outer domain of the Bright World.

The world's origin under Li Mochen's control gave them the greatest degree of rejection. Thus, although the Destiny Alliance was at a disadvantage in numbers and quality, their overall combat power was not much inferior to the Blood Feast Swarm. The entire front line seemed precarious, but in fact, it was still stable.

What was troubling was that these insects were not keen on fighting; their primary goal was to break into the Bright World.

At this point, the foresight of Guderian and others became evident. It was indeed impossible to completely defend against such a massive insect tide.

If one tried to hold everything with insufficient strength, the final result might be failing to achieve any objective.

The Destiny Alliance's focus-on-key-points defense at least ensured that most of North and South America, Australia, China, and the Old Continent did not become the first landing sites for the Blood Feast Swarm.

Meanwhile, within the Bright World, the Celestial Alliance had entered a state of full mobilization. The Hua Kingdom, previously independent of the system, not only maintained a standing army of eighty million and thirty million mobilized reserves but could also increase its military strength to three hundred million within at most a month.

They could not be deployed to fight in the outer domains, but within the Bright World, they could suppress and purge the Blood Feast Swarm.

"Prince Guderian is right; it's clear that their plans coincide with ours."

On the forty-sixth floor of the Destiny Magic Tower, Angela narrowed her eyes slightly, watching the fierce battle displayed on the projection screen.

"If we were to adopt a full defense, we would surely suffer heavy losses."

She could see that the opposing Blood Feast Swarm had also concentrated its most elite forces, intending to strike at the core combat power of the Celestial Alliance.

At this moment, both sides had hidden their strongest forces behind the front lines, biding their time. There had been several brief skirmishes, but each time, after evenly matched engagements, they withdrew at the first touch.

—It was the Blood Feast Swarm that withdrew; they clearly did not intend to engage in a decisive battle at this time. This also alleviated some of the defensive pressure on the Celestial Alliance, and the entire defensive perimeter around the Bright World remained relatively solid.

"They possess high intelligence."

Li Mochen's gaze was cold and sharp: "Reinhardt, what's the situation in Sindhu?"

"The Asa Cult and the Church of Slaanesh have completed their preparations; they can begin the blood sacrifice at any time to summon the Thunder God Thor and those divine abominations."

'The Peeping Angel' Reinhardt Heydrich bowed slightly: "Of course, our forces are also ready and can be deployed at any time. It is worth noting that two more chief gods have arrived in Sindhu."

"Then have you found the locations where they intend to perform the blood sacrifice?"

"I am ashamed!" Reinhardt pressed his hand to his eye with some shame: "The enemy's obscuring power is too strong; I could only locate three of them. That is of little help. Once those divine abominations with divine ranks above nineteen descend, even if only half of them, they will be enough to cause a large-scale calamity and casualties in the Sindhu continent. A mere one million deaths would suffice to fully manifest a divine abomination in the world."

Li Mochen glanced toward the Sindhu subcontinent. The blood sacrifice had not yet begun, but he could already smell a thick scent of blood. He frowned, then looked down before him.

The sun they had hastily crafted from the corpse of a star beast had begun fusion, emitting temperatures of billions of degrees. This made the layer of the magic tower scorching hot and filled with blinding white radiance.

If not for the 'moon' present here, the interior of the magic tower might have begun to melt. The latter was hidden within the sun's brilliance, serving as a refuge for yin and shadow forces and greatly lowering the surrounding temperature.

"Anthony, how much longer?"

"Don't rush, Your Majesty. Please give me another fifteen minutes."

Anthony said calmly: "I still need to run some checks to ensure there won't be any problems after it's deployed. This is not only based on the spirit of the contract but also to guarantee that His Highness Horus will follow your baton. If they ultimately fail to achieve the desired effect, neither the Lord of Radiance nor the Hidden Moon Gray Wolf will take the bait—"

Li Mochen frowned but ultimately held back.

Anthony was right; no matter how impatient he felt, he could not rush now. Before throwing out this decisive trump card, he had to ensure there were no accidents.

This was also influenced by his own divinity. The world's perception of the Lord of Destiny had affected his divinity and further interfered with his judgment and decisions regarding all matters.

—Such was the price of being a god of laws and a god of faith. These two paths allowed him to approach the pinnacle of power at the fastest speed, but correspondingly, he had to be constrained by the masses.

Although Li Mochen took great precautions and laid out extremely strict, almost dogmatic provisions in the scriptures, he was still affected to some extent.

This situation could only be mitigated to a certain degree when he elevated his ancient god divine rank to an equivalent level.

And it could only be mitigated, not eliminated; otherwise, the Lord of Radiance would not be trapped by his own divinity.

Just then, Li Mochen's expression shifted slightly, and he turned his attention back to the battlefield in the outer domains.

The Blood Feast Swarm had begun deploying its divine-level combatants on the battlefield, suddenly increasing the intensity of the fighting severalfold!

At this moment, the mages of the Celestial Alliance could hardly complete their spells on the battlefield, as the successive mana bursts alone inflicted heavy casualties on both sides.

Under such circumstances, most mages below the demigod level were powerless. The chaotic and turbulent mana tides posed a tremendous challenge to their spellcasting abilities.

This did not mean they were useless. At this moment, the simplest approach was to pour their mana into the tide, further expanding it and enveloping more enemies.

"I really don't know how they managed to hatch so many divine-level beings."

Prometheus found it incomprehensible and incredible: "We had already severely wounded them to that extent before."

According to his calculations, the Blood Feast Swarm had deployed over nine thousand divine-level beings in this wave of attacks, with more than four hundred at the chief god level and pseudo-god kings, directly offsetting the Celestial Alliance's home-field advantage.

Although Li Mochen held the Root and had been influencing the Root Will and the web of laws, the sheer number of the enemy still put them under immense pressure.

The enemy's strategy was extremely clever. These swarm creatures either focused on breaking through into the material plane or used their speed to target the Winged Knight Order and the Divine Will Legion for hunting. Especially those with outstanding talents were their primary targets.

This kept the gods of the Celestial Alliance running ragged. In terms of individual combat power, they were undoubtedly stronger, and even in speed, they had a slight advantage due to the World Will.

But just as an adult would be helpless against ten children running around in all directions, they found these Blood Feast Swarm creatures scurrying all over the battlefield extremely troublesome.

Fortunately, Guderian had anticipated this and designed a joint defense system, preventing them from chasing blindly like headless flies. Instead, each was responsible for a specific area, and a powerful reserve force was prepared for contingencies.

However, what was more worrying was that such a large-scale deployment of the Blood Feast Swarm meant that the Asa Pantheon was on the verge of launching its attack.

Prometheus was not overly anxious, only somewhat reluctant. He knew that once this artificial sun and moon were deployed into the Dark World, the situation could be reversed, but the timing of their deployment would determine the lives of tens of millions in Sindhu.

His divinity dictated that he could not remain indifferent to the fate of these people, even if they were not his followers. And this was also the reason Prometheus ultimately chose to align with the Lord of Destiny.

"Your Majesty, Lord Apollo reports unusual activity in the Arctic ice cap."

Reinhardt also spoke at this moment: "The spirit and flesh of the primordial gods and chaos giants are being rapidly filled. Chaos Khaos has also descended above the ice cap. Apollo has ordered the three fortresses to open fire on Khaos. He will do his best to delay, but he can only hold off Khaos for five minutes at most."

Li Mochen had anticipated this: "Angela! Go assist the Apollo siblings. Focus on hit-and-run tactics; I need you to delay the resurrection speed of those primordial gods."

"Then Khaos is temporarily mine." Angela directly manifested another 'Li Mochen' before him.

At the same time, Li Mochen summoned the 'Divine Fortune Purple Gold Tower' before him.

"By the decree of the Lord of Destiny, my wife Angela's pseudo-truth creation divine authority shall be temporarily elevated to the truth level in all subsequent battles."

The tower's merit rapidly dissipated; Li Mochen consumed a full two billion strands of merit.

Angela's eyes lit up, knowing that Li Mochen did this not only to face the enemy but also to allow her to experience truth-level 'creation' in battle.

Just as the 'Li Mochen' manifested by Angela's imagination stepped through the void, the war in the starry outer domains grew even more intense.

Both sides began deploying chief god-level beings into the war, and within less than a minute, god kings like Ishtar, Loki, and Nidhogg had to join in as well.

This was because six swarm queens with divine ranks of twenty had appeared on the battlefield in the outer domains.

The enemy's determination to force a decisive battle was extremely resolute, and the Celestial Alliance's response was equally aggressive. Without regard for possible changes in Sindhu or reserving strength for the primordial gods in the Arctic ice cap, they directly committed all three of their god kings, along with the 'Divine Angel' Heracles, whose combat power was not much inferior to a true god king.

"I can roughly guess that Slaanesh provided them with this assistance."

Li Mochen frowned, also feeling astonished: "I still can't figure out where this one got so many resources?"

Moreover, the incubation of swarm queens and divine-level Blood Feast Swarm creatures required a great deal of time.

"I can answer that question."

The voice belonged to Emperor Zhuanxu, whose figure then stepped in from the void outer domain: "Three hundred and seventy star distances away, there is a world controlled by Slaanesh. All the people there are under Slaanesh's control; they live daily in desire and pleasure, providing a steady stream of power to the Lord of Slaanesh. Until five years ago, Slaanesh used them."

"They were sacrificed?"

Athena frowned, feeling a chill run down her spine.

She had also fought against demons and devils from the abyss and hell, but compared to these chaos lords, they were child's play.

Emperor Zhuanxu's voice was calm: "The entire world was sacrificed in an extremely short time. Everyone died in joy; they were willing and found happiness in death."

Li Mochen twitched the corner of his mouth, also feeling a pang in his liver: "Five years ago? Shortly after the Alaska War? Even so, that couldn't have produced so many divine-level beings and swarm queens."

"Indeed, under normal circumstances. Therefore, the vast majority of these swarm queens and divine-level Blood Feast Swarm creatures have defects; they were force-grown by the power of Slaanesh and Khorne."

Zhuanxu nodded slightly: "But you must be wary of their king. He is one of Khorne's strongest generals—the Gluttony King, the Scythe Lord Belekh."

"The Gluttony King Belekh?"

Li Mochen frowned: "I have heard of him from my mages. He is said to be a famous evil god. How did he become the king of the Blood Feast Swarm?"

This one held the divine authority of 'Devouring,' a powerful god king who could enhance his strength and recover from various injuries by devouring all matter, magical energy, and even the laws of heaven and earth. He was extremely powerful and terrifying.

Li Mochen couldn't help but think divergently about the so-called 'Seven Deadly Sins'—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust—each was indeed very powerful, but the demons and devils had not yet pushed them to their peak. For instance, Lucifer, who held 'Pride,' had not exerted much effort on this path.

No, there was one: the 'Sloth' Demon King Belial. Every time Li Mochen approached this most capable subordinate of Lucifer, he became very slothful and couldn't help but want to slack off.

He estimated that Belial's 'Sloth' divine authority might be close to the truth level. But if Belial weren't so lazy, he might have already become one of the god kings.

With his talent, he learned everything very quickly, provided he was willing to put in an ordinary amount of effort.

"He once committed a great transgression, so the Lord of Khorne stripped him of his divine body and imprisoned him in a statue. See, how pitiable a corrupted god king can be. Khorne holds at least thirty such statues."

Zhuanxu sighed: "And now, he has been reborn through the life form of the Blood Feast Swarm. If I guess correctly, his body must have been forged from the Philosopher's Stone provided by Slaanesh. This means the world's rejection of him is relatively small."

Li Mochen frowned and asked, "I want to know what abilities this Gluttony King possesses."

"He holds a large number of truth divine authorities, such as Truth Devouring, Truth Bloodthirst, Truth Severing, Truth Strength, Truth War, Truth Combat, Truth Immortality, and Pseudo-Truth Space. It was precisely because he possessed so many powers that he once became self-inflated under the influence of his divinity and launched a rebellion against the Lord of Khorne. That is all I know."

Zhuanxu looked into the void: "But beyond that, Khorne will surely temporarily grant him an even more powerful ability; otherwise, he would be no match for you in the Bright World. Look—here he comes!"

Li Mochen had already detected the aura stepping into the battlefield. This one had no choice but to do so, because Ishtar and the others were about to kill one of the six swarm queens.

—Indeed, they were all god kings with divine ranks of twenty, but five of them had defects and incomplete divine authorities. In the outer domains of the Bright World, their combat power had further decreased under Li Mochen's suppression.

At this moment, if Belekh did not act, the six swarm queens would eventually be hunted down one by one by Ishtar and the others.

Li Mochen did not hesitate either. His main body had already flashed away, stepping into the void.
