Chapter 972 - 972 971 Prelude to War

Chapter 972: Chapter 971 Prelude to War Chapter 972: Chapter 971 Prelude to War [Bottom Layer of Pyramid – Black Pillar Prison]

The very moment the “Node War” was signed.

Han Dong immediately received a prompt from the System: “Would you like to send a request for assistance to the stakeholder world?”

Long before this, Han Dong had confirmed with the Fate System whether he could leverage the power of a Destiny World in which he was a stakeholder to participate in the Node War.

The answer he received was:

“Yes, but you cannot force participation.

The System will send a request for assistance to the world corresponding to the stakeholder shares. All town residents will receive the information and choose whether to participate in the ‘Node War’.

As the mayor of Other Derry Town, it will be your decision whether to proceed with world migration.”

Initially, Han Dong was not very confident whether the town mayor would agree to migrate the entire Derry Town… considering that Derry Town was in the midst of a crucial upgrade phase.

However, one thing Han Dong was sure of was that, even if the mayor was too occupied,

there would still be others willing to help, and among those willing, there were some with considerable strength.

…

Following the initiation of the “Node War,” Han Dong’s request for assistance was also sent across.

The Pharaoh – Ed Louis’s body suddenly trembled, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Han Dong.

As a node holder, he was keenly aware of what was happening in his own world… just now, the world coefficient had surged, and a dimensional rift had opened in the civilian district of the City of Gods.

Another world, also part of the World of Fate, had descended upon the City of Gods through “world migration.”

At the same time, Han Dong also received related feedback: “The mayor of Other Derry Town has agreed to fully assist. World migration is complete, with a 100% arrival rate.”

“You… as a second-class knight, how could you possibly hold a node of True Fate?”

Mad Laugh!

Han Dong was equally surprised, not expecting the mayor to agree to “world migration” and have the entire Other Derry Town descend upon the City of Gods, and he couldn’t stop laughing maniacally.

“Haha, you’ve misunderstood, Pharaoh… I wouldn’t be so greedy.

‘Prometheus’ is the first node I want to hold.

The world I’ve summoned… I only hold a 10% share in it… They’ve come to help voluntarily.”

World descends.

The Pharaoh’s expression naturally soured, the situation was more troublesome than he had anticipated, but it wasn’t beyond his ability to handle.

Even though the descending world also belongs to the World of True Fate, the battlefield is in the City of Gods, on his turf, so he naturally holds a significant advantage.

“10% stake? According to the rules, you can only request their assistance… It seems you have a good relationship with these people.”

“Haha, I just helped them out in town… I never expected them to want to come help.

When the time comes, I hope you’ll go easy on them, Pharaoh. They are just a bunch of law-abiding town residents.”

At this moment.

Han Dong, as the initiator of the war, and the Pharaoh both received the initial prompt for the “Node War.”

“[Fate War: Prometheus] will officially start in thirty minutes. During this period, all interested parties will be under the protection of pre-war preparation, attacking each other is prohibited, or else they will be directly sanctioned by Fate.”

Instantly, the aura emanating from the Pharaoh transformed completely into murderous intent.

“What of the half-hour protection period? Currently, you’re beneath my Pyramid, in the core layer of Black Pillar Prison… The world you’ve brought is still a long distance from here.

Merely detaining you for half an hour will be enough to defeat and claim victory in the war.”

Han Dong simply smiled slightly, not taking it seriously and nodding at the Pharaoh, “We’ll meet on the battlefield, Ed. Do try the world I’ve brought.

Those honest townsfolk are quite interesting.”

With that said, Han Dong patted Maritzis’s damp thigh, signaling something in secret.

With her powers fully unlocked, Maritzis could now use ‘Ancestor level’ spatial abilities.

Woosh~

A sound of air compression was heard.

Everyone, including the Dragon City Team and the few with Han Dong, along with millions of mummies, were swallowed by Maritzis. Since none of those being devoured resisted, the swallowing was completed instantly, storing them inside the Toad Belly Space.

“Damn! Toad Demon with Space Secret Art!”

Ed immediately clasped his hands together in prayer.

Countless cables connected to his back rapidly spread out in all directions, hastily initiating a spatial blockade.

However.

It was still a bit too slow…

Even the slightest gap was enough for Maritzis to sense the spatial factors of the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, the Spatial Transfer was complete, heading towards Other Derry Town, led by Han Dong.

Staring at a puddle of water on the ground, Ed Louis took a deep breath and exhibited not much anger.

Slowly, he even revealed a strange smile, muttering:

“Nicholas Valen… a mere second-order knight has a stake in a True Fate world and can establish such a relationship with the Ancestor Body.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a ‘prodigy’.

Well… With the Capital City prohibiting large-scale activities outside the city in recent times, the daily data training has become somewhat monotonous.

This sudden ‘Node War’ might just provide me with some inspiration, I hope it won’t disappoint me.

The ‘God Creation Project’ was basically realized half a year ago, it’s time to test the stability of the ‘Gods’ during this ‘Node War’… If they perform steadily, we can advance the ‘World Expansion’ plan ahead of schedule.

After all.

The resources of this planet are almost depleted, the next step is to return to the human mother planet… striving to raise the World Level of the City of Gods by a notch.”

Speaking of genius.

Ed Louis himself is no exception.

He once, as a fourth-order Engineer in the [Prometheus] world, defeated the other competing teams one by one, passed the identity assessment alone, and became the new Pharaoh.

All these achievements required strength as well as a strategic mind and wisdom.

“Let the war begin…”

With Ed Louis being pulled back into the Pyramid Area by the manipulation of billions of data cables.

The headquarters of [Nine Pillar Gods Company], located in the outer ring of the Pyramid – the first ring area, each raised a beam of light piercing the sky.

In addition to the powerful ‘High Priest’ and the priest corps managed by them, Ed Louis also has a secret force of Personal Guards.

Just as the Osiris Company can create the Underworld Netherworld, the White Giants are able to create an Alien God.

The initial intention of establishing the Nine Pillar Gods Company was to accomplish ‘God Creation’.

An unimaginable ‘God’s army’ is assembling…

…

Toad Belly Space.

The pale pink fleshy ground, vast and almost boundless.

The Mummies and two teams of participants gathered here.

However, Han Dong was in another area.

A “first class cabin” specially prepared by Maritzis for him – a separate chamber that is soft and replenishes moisture.

“Thank you, Miss Mary.”

“I knew from the start you were planning this… You are indeed someone worthy of my Lord’s attention.”

Han Dong gave an awkward laugh, “Haha… right, when we arrive at the town later, I have a small request. I hope Miss Mary will not cling too tightly to me during the coming time.”

“What’s wrong? Why can’t I… Could it be that you have a spouse in the town? That’s perfect, I’ll mate with you right in front of her! After all, we in the Toad Clan don’t have so many rules.”

“Don’t… I’m serious.

If Miss Mary agrees to this, I’m willing to give you all the credit for the resources handed over when we return to N’Kai (the world of the Toad Ancestor).

Of course, I also hope that Miss Mary will give it her all to assist our army in the upcoming battles.

The war has just begun, and although I had the upper hand in our recent conversation, the overall advantage is still with the Pharaoh… It won’t be easy to conquer the City of Gods.”

“Alright, huh… I know.”
