As long as they kept by my side, as long as I kept supporting their growth and reproduction, I’d not run thin of any elite forces ever again.

I bypassed the brutal fights all over the place. Sometimes I had to punch and use my higher stat and cultivation power to kill any enemy coming my way.

At some point, I got absorbed in the fight, unsheathed the great sword I recently acquired and slashed with it.

“Damn! That sword… It’s quite fierce!!” I never thought highly of that sword. After all, I didn’t feel any pressure or weight when I held it.

I thought it grew light because it was weak. But that wasn’t the case. It was indeed overbearing, not lesser than my dragon glaive.

And that made me think about my glaive. “Will I be able to use it without the need to activate any sacrifice?” This was a good question, something I always craved to have.

After all, the need to waste one hour and millions of souls each time to use the glaive, and all of this would end after one day was a real pain and great limitation to me.

The single slash of my sword unleashed a cone shaped deadly wave of energy that swallowed all the enemies and allies inside without exception. Just when I thought this was going to be quite troublesome, I saw something amazing happening next.

The light changed, shifted to circle my allies in balls of light. As for enemies, they kept getting submerged with my sword slash, without showing any sign of surviving this hit.

The balls of light that encapsulated my allied forces seemed to have defensive and healing abilities. Green light started to rise around my forces’ bodies, and even many wounds on their bodies started to slowly heal.

The attack expanded to reach half a mile distance before slowly vanishing. It didn’t last more than ten seconds, but it was enough to kill all the enemies touched by this golden light. And all my forces got healed by this light.

It was something cool! Starting from this point onward, I kept using my sword all the time, killing all the enemies getting near me, and helping in healing my forces.

In less than one hour, I found myself at last on top of one of the enemy holes.

Even with all these fiends coming out to attack us, the hole down below was still filled to the brim with foot troops.

That reminded me… The shield the gods used was just covering the sky. Then what about the walls around? The same walls that surrounded each hole, the same walls that turned into some sort of forts all over this world.

If the enemy had the ability to open paths through these walls, leading their forces inside the holes and bypassing the shields, then things would turn to the worst.

Damn! This enemy lived here for endless years. And it just made sense they’d learn about the shield of the gods, and how to counter it.

“I shall have a word with him after he is over that evolution process,” I decided to first deal with the holes here until Clatinberg would finish his evolution and join me.

*Rumble!* I activated the dark realm bone I got out even when I was thinking about how to solve this crisis.

The only way to do it was through using the gods and fighting against the incoming enemies. However, gods close to me got a good chance in doing that thanks to the blessing I planned to grant them.

But others, especially those far away from me, those at the other end of the planet, I wouldn’t be able to arrive there in time.

“I’ll try my best then, and they have to try theirs as well,” I hoped the enemy would take longer to transform the walls and open paths for his forces.

And I also prayed that these gods wouldn’t be this useless, and would get other tricks up their sleeves to welcome such incoming enemies.

Once I threw the bone down, I never stopped in my tracks. The ground troops got engulfed in the deadly fire, but the flying fiends didn’t.

So the moment I let the bone down, I started flying towards another hole. At the same time, the fiends seemed to grow enraged by my actions, and desperately tried everything to stop me.

They even threw their gears out, exploding them all over the place, trying to force me to stop.

“Get away!” yet I got to use my newly acquired shield when that happened. My sword was strong enough to kill anything, but it wouldn’t help to stop any explosion at all.

So I was forced to wield my shield, and that was when I witnessed its might.

The shield was huge enough to cover up my giant body. At the same time, it released a halo of energy when I pushed part of my spiritual energy inside the shield.

The moment I did that, the lines on the shield surface partially got ignited. Then a halo appeared that engulfed me within, protecting me totally from the incoming explosions.

Like a bolt of lightning I passed through all the explosions without getting hurt. Even when seeing this, the enemy never stopped using the same method.

For hours I kept flying and gushing my energy inside the shield. And when I finally got over another hole, I checked and found another gathering of the enemy ground forces.

“That reminds me that I crossed over lots of holes filled with enemies before… Don’t tell me they isolated the gods from each other using many layers of holes…”

This was the only logical explanation I could get. And it was quite bad. That meant the enemy had the upper hand here. Even if the gods turned over them, the gods would never be able to regroup, and had to fight solo for a long time.
