Chapter 3017: Chapter 616: Joy of the Harvest
Nora is in dire need of level 10 combat power.
These ordinary Monarchs can refine more Legendary Artifacts, supreme treasures, and Legendary Wizard Tools to elevate Noraâs top-tier strength.
In the Underworld, what they lack are top-level combat powers like the Four Emperors.
The turn came to the Void Holy Temple, and Hera smiled:
"I donât have any requests here, Lord Emmon can distribute reasonably."
Emmon nodded and said:
"I will certainly satisfy the lady."
The higher-ups discussed the distribution of war spoils.
Levi returned to the Ancient Banyan Fairyland and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
Elena flew in, looking distressed.
This war she did not participate in, but stayed in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland for postpartum care, nourishing her body, taking care of the triplets, never expecting it to end in just one day.
As the Hall Masterâs Wife, Elena deeply understood how strong Leviâs endurance and persistence were, and how tenacious his willpower was.
Under normal circumstances, even a yearâs battle.
Levi wouldnât be so exhausted and fatigued.
"How many battles did he fight continuously after all?"
Elena stayed by Leviâs side, waiting for him to wake up.
...
Nightmare World.
The Monarchs returned to familiar places with lingering fear in their hearts. Including the Ignorant Monarch, none were unscathed, all having suffered more or less.
After counting, the Ignorant Monarchâs heart sank.
Out of 100 Monarchs deployed, only 49 escaped with their lives. The Lost Monarch and the Four Great Demon Lords, these five top-level strong beings, all perished in Nora.
It recalled internally.
The last time Nightmare suffered such enormous losses was during the Ancient Era, when Nightmare and the Astral World were first created, and super wars happened regularly.
From ancient times to now, both sides knew they couldnât annihilate each other, so they only engaged in minor skirmishes. The idea of losing dozens of level 10 beings in a single day as absurd as a dream...was entirely impossible.
And now, they have experienced it firsthand.
They witnessed history!
What this means for Nightmare, it dared not think any further.
To know that, counting native and non-native Nightmare Monarchs, at its peak, the Nightmare World had only around four hundred and fifty Monarchs. In one shot, they wiped out a ninth.
In the times ahead, how should Nightmare counter the greedy eyes of other Giants, especially their long-time rival the Astral World, always wanting to annex them.
Though Astral Worldâs level 10 combat power varies wildly, many being mediocre. But according to intelligence, even after the plague of the insects, they still have over eight hundred Gods!
Abyss, on the other hand, though having suffered significant losses, should still have around five hundred.
As for the Underworld, the fewest in number, only three hundred, but all elite, otherwise they wouldnât be able to contend with the Abyss through so many epochs.
The lives of the Four Emperors, canât be exchanged for thirty ordinary level 10s.
The Ignorant Monarch said: "Next, we must recuperate and fortify Nightmare, to prevent strong enemies from exploiting our vulnerabilities! This epoch, we must keep a low profile."
You Xiang Monarch whispered:
"I agree with the Ignorant Lordâs thoughts... but how do we deal with the Dusk Palace Master?"
The Ignorant Monarch replied coldly:
"How would I know? Didnât you see that not even the Supreme could capture him?"
You Xiang Monarch felt a chill at heart, and left despondently. It only wanted to find a place to hide until the day the Dusk Palace Master vanished.
Other Monarchs also prepared to return to their homes.
A bloodied figure exuding Supreme aura descended from the sky.
"Stay put!"
The Master of Horror scanned the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"Rest and recover for a while, await further orders."
Nightmare mustnât bear this heavy loss like this.
Its heart still sought revenge, only needing to find the right opportunity. Now that Nora has revealed its quasi-Giant strength and threat.
It believed Astral World and Abyss wouldnât stand by idly.
...
Abyss Layer 645.
Former blood battle commander Pazuzu was sleeping.
"Lord, a major issue has occurred."
"What matter causes such panic."
"According to the latest frontline report, the Nightmare and Abyss alliance has faced a great defeat."
"Oh? Explain in detail."
Listening to his subordinateâs report, Pazuzu pondered deeply.
"That succubus queen bitch, all bark and no bite, I thought she was so great, but turns out not even as capable as me. So many people couldnât conquer Nora, truly useless!
However, the Dusk Palace Master is indeed troublesome. The demons I sent out havenât returned any news, very likely theyâve met a grim fate.
Overall, this battle isnât entirely bad. Nightmare saw the demise of over 50 level 10s, even the Four Emperorsâ Lost Monarch perished, this epoch will certainly decline.
Next, Abyss can seize the chance to scavenge Nightmare, let [Eternal Sleep] lead the way, render Nightmare forever unable to recover.
But restraint is still necessary.
Now that Nightmare and Nora are in an undying struggle, they will surely deploy against Nora again. If Nora dares, it might even actively campaign against Nightmare.
These two fight to the death. Hopefully theyâll involve Astral World too, resulting in a three-party contest. In such a case, Abyss can sit back and reap the ultimate rewards."
Abyss Layer 663.
Fallen Star Lord·Ogrion remains in seclusion.
As a master of great Wisdom in Abyss, and a compendium of astrological prophecy, reaching Supreme level was just a final step away. It aspired to become a Chaotic Servant, to serve beside the Supreme Will, exercising Abyssâs Power.
That day, wouldnât be far.
...
Astral World.
The Lord of Storm visited the Great Prophetâs residence again.
"Great Prophet, Nightmare suffered a great defeat, losing over fifty Monarchs!"
This powerful God wasnât sure whether to be pleased or worried.
