To do so, I shouldn’t rush things out and send my soulers out. I stood in my place motionless for long minutes while the entire world was filled with tons of explosive noises.

My fallen gods were tearing everything apart, creating gaps all over the dense cloud layer. However no matter how many holes they created, the clouds still looked like an immovable mountain.

“Wait a second… I don’t need to try and wipe out the entire cloud layer…” it suddenly hit me. Back at that battle from earlier, I was forced to kill my way through everything as this was my entry to this world.

But right now I don’t need to do any of this. In fact, it was silly to think this way.

“Come back,” I called back all the soulers I summoned. I didn’t leave my fallen gods back there as well and called them back before summoning them again.

“Create a path in front of us, enough for my chariot to pass through,” I declared my intentions while a plan took shape in my mind.

The next few minutes, the fallen gods concentrated all their firepower over a narrow area. It was supposed to be an easy task to do. However it proved otherwise.

As I recalled my forces and focused on a single point, the enemy did the same. More clouds swirled and moved, joining others at this spot and reinforced the entire structure.

p So it took roughly ten minutes for my warriors to create an enough gap for my chariot to pass through.

I didn’t even stand a single moment and moved my chariot in its full speed towards the outside.

During these minutes, I wasn’t just standing idle and watching what was going on. I kept repeating the same words over and over until I lost count of how many I said!

“Thundering Might!”

It was the skill related to my pillar. And I planned to use my concentrated shields to prevent the escape of the enemy.

This would be the first step in my grand plan.

And the moment I passed through that hole like a bullet, the hole closed back as more clouds came in and filled that defect. But it was already too late.

*Boom!*

The moment my chariot came out, a fierce explosion erupted before many followed. The enemy didn’t even wait to test me, and used everything in their capabilities to bring me down.

Yet everything they threw at me got stopped by my sturdy chariot’s shield.

“Thundering Might!” I didn’t even care to spare such a usual thing at a glance and started to use my shield skill again and again.

At the same time, I kept moving my chariot in a zigzag course, not caring about anything else.

“Don’t bother to try and escape, we already got this entire zone locked down!” and after ten minutes of doing so, the same voice came again but this time it looked as if it was coming from a single direction.

It wasn’t as grand or scary as before, which told me that he was the one who casted such cloud ability here in the first place.

“Humph! Let me see how you plan to stop me!” and even if I knew he was the one playing within my fingers, I didn’t show any of that on my face or tone.

Instead I tried to look like a ferocious beast that was about to get cornered.

“I’ll show you what true might mean then…” and just as he said that, the world around me changed for the second time.

Well, that dude looked more like a diamond grade treasure chest to my eyes or something like that!

He used another artefact, one that made the entire world turn into an inferno or a place of hell.

The sky changed and the world turned all red. I saw the world burn under blazing red fire, one that looked as if it was forming a grand sea around my chariot.

I didn’t know if he could control such an ability to not harm his allies and soldiers, or if they were fine just because of the gears. Either way, the fire just kept coming at my chariot’s shield, rapidly consuming its energy reserves.

At the same time, the old explosions kept coming and banging all over my chariot. And that meant this fire wasn’t deadly or even that harmful to these dudes.

“Tsk… You are really strong,” I muttered, faking my weakness and fear. This kind of fire wasn’t enough to bring my chariot’s shield down.

Even if it was strong enough to deplete the energy reserves like running water, they weren’t enough to force me to add more energy crystals to my chariot’s furnace.

The energy reserves before were enough to sustain the consumption of my chariot’s shield for months. But with this fire and explosions, the shield could last for half a month at most.

That made me not worry at all about my chariot’s safety, and thus mine. Even if the enemy had another card up his sleeve, some sort of deadly penetrative weapon to target my chariot, I was still able to add more energy crystals to support the shield.

So my only focus now was over the next step of my plan. I moved for many minutes and used countless shield skills to count! I was sure now that the enemy forces would be totally encompassed inside my merged large number of shields.

And now it was time for the second phase of my plan!

*Rumble!*

The shields would expand to cover miles, tens of miles even. But for some reason, I had the feeling that the shields didn’t cover up all of the enemy forces and trapped them inside.

And so, I used the offensive attack of my shields. And as I expected, a mighty rumbling occurred before a fierce wave erupted, expanding for tens of miles in seconds, killing tons of these fiends.

“Damn you! Do you think you can get out by just killing those far away from you? I’ll make sure to torture you personally after cracking that damn shield open!”
