The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 686: Death Valley

General Casidius stood on the highest level of the central God Tower within the Trinity Dark Towers in the Zafiro Sector and was not alone. Accompanying him were five other Gods who had been present during the withdrawal from the Golden Core Sector. However, that was not all.

In a corner of the room were none other than the Shadow King and the Undying King. The duo had managed to escape from the Golden Core Sector, but they were unsure what to do next. While the Void King was saved, they had no idea what had happened to their fearless leader.

However, they received a message a few days after the catastrophe in the Golden Core Sector. It was from the Void King, commanding them to regroup with the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army in the Zafiro Sector. After that, he informed the duo he would be healing in a secret location before cutting all communications.

Although the Dark Kings knew they would not have an easy time with the Inferno Daemon Gods after they chose to run and leave them to their luck in the Golden Core Sector, they did not dare go against the Void King.

General Casidius and practically every God from the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army loathed the duo. Still, they were powerful and useful in battle, so they allowed them to return, but no longer with their lofty status.

The Shadow King and the Undying King were more powerful than the Gods, but they were outnumbered, and the God Towers did not obey their commands, so they just remained silent and ignored the disdain from the great general, waiting for the return of the Void King.

General Casidius could see the intent in the Dark Kings and knew the duo did not respect him, but as long as they were helpful, he would swallow his rage. Besides, right now, he had more pressing matters.

There was a holographic representation of the Zafiro Sector in front of the Gods. In it, they could see how the Collapsing Lightning Alliance had already begun to spread their domain and control over the Sector.

”How can they be so fast!”

One of the great generals, the God Zinir, could not help but shout with rage and frustration, and while the other Gods could keep their composure, they were also very disturbed.

When the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army reached the Dark Trinity Towers in the Zafiro Sector, they immediately began reinforcing the fortress while requesting resources from the Inferno Daemon Imperial Army.

The Inferno Daemon Empire acted extremely fast, and, unlike what General Casidius had expected, he did not have a problem securing a massive amount of wealth.

General Casidius and the other great generals were happy and began to think they could turn the tables and return to a stalemate with the Collapsing Lightning Alliance.

However, just as the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army was starting to get ready to mobilize again, they found out that the Collapsing Lightning Alliance had captured the Crystal Mountains and established a fortress with a Titan Tower in that location.

The Gods could not believe that it took less than a month for the Collapsing Lightning Alliance to establish a foothold in the Zafiro Sector, and things only went from bad to worse.

Although the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army did their best to delay the Collapsing Lightning Alliance, the Godslayer Humans seemed to be on overdrive as they took every clash with fanatic zeal. Even though the Dark Kings were of help, the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army was at a disadvantage on every single battlefield.

Two months after their arrival in the Crystal Mountains, the Collapsing Lightning Alliance had already taken control of the entire south of the Zafiro Sector, establishing battle forts and spreading their surveillance tools in every corner of the domain.

In just three months since their escape from the Golden Core Sector, they lost the south of the Zafiro Sector, and they could not take a step in it without the Collapsing Lightning Alliance knowing it.

Undoubtedly, for the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army, the only way they could reverse that would be by winning a direct clash with the Collapsing Lightning Alliance. Still, for that, they needed more warriors. While the Inferno Daemon Empire did not have a problem sending resources, things were much more complicated regarding Gods.

General Casidius did not dare to request the assistance of True Gods since those were the most potent weapons of the Inferno Daemon Empire, each with a domain that could crumble if they moved away. But without the assistance of at least half a dozen Late Divine Ascension Masters, trying to turn the tables was nothing but a dream.

Just as General Casidius was trying to figure out his next step, he received a communication from his scouts.

[The Collapsing Lightning Alliance is moving into Death Valley. It seems they bring with them the materials for a Titan Tower.]

General Casidius could not help but clench his fists as he heard that report. If the Collapsing Lightning Alliance took Death Valley, they would be less than one hour of flight from the Trinity Dark Towers. It would be easy for the Collapsing Lightning Duke to attack them by that point, forcing them to retreat further north.

Unfortunately for General Casidius, even if he wanted to stop them, he lacked the military force to do it. But not even five seconds later, a new message arrived.

[General Casidius, mobilize all your military forces and intercept the Collapsing Lightning Alliance. Your reinforcements will arrive during the battle.]

General Casidius recognized the voice since it belonged to the man who was able to mobilize more than ten Gods from the Imperial Army into this invasion force, Imperial Prince Horus.

Although General Casidius knew it would be dangerous to march into the fight before the reinforcements had arrived, he also knew there was no way a simple God like him could contradict Horus Ekleipsis.

”Yes, Your Imperial Highness.”
