Chapter 1096: Chapter 391: The Surrender Faction
Again in that peculiar world
Not long after they left, they returned here, yet this time the number of people was different.
"War, Dusk...
Didnāt expect even āFallenā!"
The black-haired man with a monocle looked somewhat bewildered.
He had some ties with the Fallen, but had always been at odds with them.
Now that the Fall was complete, he felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost something incredibly important.
He didnāt know what to do for a while.
And those around him were no better off.
They were already somewhat mentally unstable due to their divine traits, and the use of tremendous power combined with the defeat only further fermented their emotions.
Fear, anger, hatred, all these emotions mixed together.
However, despite this, some managed to remain calm.
"No way, their power is too restraining for us.
With that kind of power that causes our extraordinary traits to go out of control, we canāt possibly confront them head-on.
During the retreat earlier, I endured their attack once, and almost lost control to madness.
If we had been even a moment later, perhaps we wouldāve left a few more behind."
Behind the monocle-wearing man, a golden-eyed priest calmly said, as if devoid of any emotion.
At the same time, he used his extraordinary powers to soothe everyoneās emotions. After a pause, he continued the calm analysis:
"Given their abilities now, if we want to contend with them, we must have a detailed plan.
I mean more detailed, like the plans used in mortal combat, we cannot act separately as before without coordination.
You all saw this enemy, holding onto that bit of divine arrogance will only return us to traits, becoming their prey."
This was not his usual style of speaking, but the importance of the situation required it. Any more ambiguity would only hasten the demise of everyone, and even the world.
And the latter was what he cared about most.
"But what about fantasy, what do you propose?
That person possesses power stronger than us gods, with abilities that greatly restrain us.
We simply cannot resist, my primary extraordinary abilities are completely restricted by rules, unable to exert true strength!
And Red Moon and Fertility are even worse off, suppressed by their superior power and cannot join the battle!"
The speakerās expression was utterly mismatched with the elegant formal attire, and there was a hint of their emotions bursting forth again.
It was only through the priest called Fantasy using his extraordinary abilities to calm them down did they regain composure.
"Our power is fundamentally inferior to theirs; if we continue, itās just a needless sacrifice...
If your plan cannot convince me, Iād rather take my citizens and leave this world!"
At the end, he had resumed his usual dignity, reclaimed the authority of an Emperor.
"Certainly, I will offer some assistance, but if the situation becomes truly dire, I will proactively sacrifice myself to cover your retreat."
The priest spoke calmly, as if it wasnāt his own life he was dealing with but merely disposing of a fish or chicken.
Yet, his words indeed demanded everyoneās respect, lending his plan extra seriousness.
"You may have all noticed, just now, Iāll refer to her as an Outer God.
The power of that Outer God does not originate from herself, but is boosted through some means."
"Yes, that Fan Mao is just Seventh Rank, which is your True God level, we are hundred percent certain!
We contractors have many temporary amplification abilities, but her capacity to boost to 8th Rank is something weāve never seen before."
The words of the Pure Water Contractor added a layer of credibility to the priestās explanation.
Actually, without needing his corroboration, many of the local divine beings present fought in the battle earlier, more or less noticed this point, and waited for the priest to continue silently.
"But you might not have realized, the source of this Outer Godās power is actually in her giant tree, more precisely, from the teleportation gate created by that tree!
Meaning, if that Outer God wants to display such level of power, she must rely on that gate!
She cannot leave the range of that giant tree!
We might not be able to defeat the Outer God, but canāt we deal with her Favored clan?
As long as we keep taking down those clans, even the Outer God can do nothing against us.
Once she leaves the giant tree, without power surpassing ours, canāt we defeat her?
If she does not leave, exercising power remotely will only cause some trouble, without significant impact, right?
At most, part with that town and surrounding land, counting an additional Evil God in this world."
The priest spoke slowly, simultaneously using his extraordinary powers to enhance credibility.
He was fully aware that his explanation carried major loopholes.
What he said had no basis, no evidence to prove that the self-proclaimed Fan Mao Outer God couldnāt obtain enhancements elsewhere.
As for the teleportation gate?
