Free Web NovelChapter 333: Chapter 202: Ancient Divine Kingdom: Offensive War (2)
Ossirion, who had already ascended to become an Upper Rank God, surveyed the entire scene.
"We have now constructed a sufficiently stable war fortress here."
"The special ’Ancient Passage’ that spans an immense distance to the Ancient God Divine Kingdom has also been prepared."
"Many parts of that Ancient God’s Divine Kingdom are extremely hidden and can only be entered by Middle Rank Gods."
"Now is the crucial time for you Middle Rank Gods to play your part."
As he spoke, Ossirion’s gaze turned to Zorn.
"Especially you, Zorn. Your Cosmic Magic Net can help many people and will allow us to better attack the Ancient Divine Kingdom."
"Before we begin, you must establish the Cosmic Magic Net."
"Yes, Lord Ossirion!"
Zorn said solemnly.
The strength of Zorn’s Cosmic Magic Net was undeniable. As long as it was established within the fallen Ancient God Divine Kingdom...
...it would definitely help everyone launch an effective offensive.
Then, Ossirion’s gaze swept over the crowd.
"All you Middle Rank Gods, during this time, you have all more or less clashed with the Middle Rank Gods of the Jade Realm on the front lines."
"The Middle Rank Gods of the Jade Realm are all incredibly powerful."
"They are also the trickiest obstacle we face in our efforts to destroy the Ancient Divine Kingdom."
"You could say that this offensive war is a contest between the Middle Rank Gods of our two sides."
"If we can secure a region, that would be excellent. If not, then what happens next will depend on the individual actions of each Middle Rank God."
After Ossirion had laid out the general strategy...
...everyone began to discuss the details of the various aspects.
However, everyone was also well aware.
Whether in confrontations between Middle Rank Gods or between Upper Rank Gods...
...the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom was at a disadvantage.
Trying to establish defensive strongholds within the Ancient Divine Kingdom, which was occupied by the Jade Realm, was clearly impossible.
Therefore, the discussions of details mostly revolved around how to find good positions within the Ancient Divine Kingdom to cause destruction.
In a corner, Zorn listened quietly to the various points being made by the many powerful Middle Rank Gods.
However, the more he listened to the situations and plans described by these Middle Rank Gods...
...the more alarmed Zorn became.
’This so-called strategy for attacking the Ancient Divine Kingdom is clearly headed for failure.’
’Even though I have the Ritual Fire and can sacrifice and burn the Ancient Divine Kingdom...’
’...I still need enough time and space to amplify this Ritual Fire.’
’Only by letting the Ritual Fire grow into a raging inferno can I incinerate the entire Divine Kingdom.’
’If our side can’t cause effective destruction...’
’...then even I alone probably can’t turn the tide of this offensive war.’
As the numerous Middle Rank Gods were deep in heated discussion...
...Zorn suddenly spoke up.
"Esteemed Divine Spirit seniors."
As his voice slowly washed over the hall...
...all the Divine Spirits turned to look at Zorn.
Including the few Upper Rank Gods.
Zorn continued speaking.
"If we follow a normal strategy of destruction, the stability of that Ancient Divine Kingdom is astonishing."
"Even if we try to cause destruction, I’m afraid it will be difficult to have any effective impact."
"Some time ago, while traveling through ancient times, I explored the ancient traces of the Jade Magic Ring Tree and discovered many unusual things."
"Perhaps I can offer a unique approach."
Speaking to this point, Zorn paused and said gravely.
"That is, to use a special ritual to introduce a terrifying Forbidden Curse Fungus to pollute and corrode the Divine Kingdom."
Forbidden Curse Fungus?
Corrode and pollute?
Zorn’s explanation silenced the entire hall.
One had to remember, that was an Ancient God’s Divine Kingdom. Even an Ancient God Curse could barely damage it.
Could a fungus with the destructive power of a Forbidden Curse really destroy it?
Zorn wasn’t surprised by the gods’ reactions.
’After all... ’
’...this is a special method discovered by the Players.’
That peculiar Forbidden Curse Fungus was a type that fed on Divine Power and Crystal Walls, possessing an extremely strong ability to spread, corrode, and pollute.
Its very nature was to feed on the Divine Kingdoms of fallen Divine Spirits.
Currently, Zorn hadn’t found any trace of this Forbidden Curse Fungus within the Star Realm.
But!
Through a ritual, Zorn had already summoned the "Forbidden Curse Spores" of the Forbidden Curse Fungus.
All that was needed was to spread them throughout the Ancient God’s Divine Kingdom.
And this was also the method with the highest probability of winning this offensive and defensive war over the Ancient God Divine Kingdom.
Zorn spreading it alone wouldn’t be enough; everyone needed to go there and spread it.
This would attract the Jade Realm’s attention, and at the same time, allow Zorn to effectively carry out his ritual burning plan.
"Do you have the spores of that Forbidden Curse Fungus?"
Ossirion asked, looking at Zorn.
"I do!"
Zorn replied crisply.
"These Forbidden Curse Spores need to be activated with a ritual before they can begin to corrode the Divine Kingdom."
After a moment of thought, Ossirion nodded decisively.
"No problem."
"I will specifically dispatch a group of people to carry out the relevant plan."
"If it proves effective, I will fully support your plan with these Forbidden Curse Fungus spores."
Hearing this, Zorn felt slightly relieved.
That corrosive Forbidden Curse Fungus that specialized in devouring the corpses of Ancient God Divine Kingdoms—the Rot-Moon Marrow-Corroding Fungus.
As long as it was planted, it would quickly take effect.
Even though the Ancient God’s Divine Kingdom was split into numerous fragmented regions...
...as long as it was spread on a large scale, it would absolutely cause immense trouble for the Jade Realm.
Even!
It would even pollute the Jade Magic Ring Tree to a certain extent.
And this was precisely what Zorn wanted to see.
The meeting continued for several days before finally concluding for the time being.
...
「Half a month later.」
Beneath the projection of the Disaster Court Magic Ring Tree in the Black Star Divine Kingdom.
A dark and profound Ancient Passage slowly opened.
Surrounding it were a large number of Middle Rank Gods and a small number of Upper Rank Gods, all standing ready.
Zorn was continuously guiding the Cosmic Magic Net through the Ancient Passage, infiltrating the fallen Ancient God Divine Kingdom.
’If this were a true Ancient God Divine Kingdom, I would be courting death by doing this,’ Zorn thought.
But the Ancient God had already fallen.
In a way, this Ancient God Divine Kingdom was merely neutral ground.
It had just been occupied by the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
But this didn’t stop Zorn’s Magic Net from infiltrating it silently.
’My Magic Net also has the characteristic of drawing power from a Divine Kingdom. As long as I spread my Magic Net throughout the Ancient Divine Kingdom, even the powerful Jade Magic Ring Tree won’t be able to expel my Cosmic Magic Net.’
’Then I can move freely within the Magic Net’s irradiated area, deploying the Forbidden Curse Spores and burning with the Ritual Fire.’
About a few days later.
After sensing that it had completely taken root in the Ancient Divine Kingdom and had even begun to expand on its own...
...Zorn finally looked towards Ossirion, who was standing nearby.
"Lord Ossirion, the Magic Net has been established."
Hearing this, a gratified smile appeared on Ossirion’s face.
"Well done. Next, you just need to maintain the Magic Net. Leave the rest to the other Middle Rank Gods."
"Mm!"
Zorn nodded.
Although that’s what was said, Zorn was clearly not going to be satisfied with just "maintaining the Magic Net."
Besides, once the Cosmic Magic Net was formed, it would expand naturally, requiring no maintenance from Zorn at all.
Zorn also needed to enter the Ancient Divine Kingdom.
’After all!’
’There’s some really good stuff inside the Ancient Divine Kingdom.’
’Treasures in a few places that even the people of the Jade Realm themselves might not be able to open.’
’But I can open them.’
While Zorn was pondering this...
...the Upper Rank God, Ossirion, surveyed the scene and spoke in a deep voice.
"You are all Middle Rank Gods chosen by the Divine Kingdom for your means of Resurrection."
"By anchoring you with the Magic Net, you can return even if you fall in battle within the Jade Realm’s territory."
"In this war, your objective is to destroy that Ancient Divine Kingdom with all your might, using any means necessary."
"As long as you cause enough destruction, it will be considered a success."
The many powerful Middle Rank Gods were all eager to get started.
This offensive battle was, without a doubt, a brutal, suicidal assault.
Every person who entered would most likely die in battle.
And Zorn’s Cosmic Magic Net was the key that allowed them to resurrect and return.
"Begin!"
With Ossirion’s command...
...the many powerful Middle Rank Gods who possessed Resurrection abilities immediately began to follow the Ancient Passage, launching a brand-new war of aggression against the Ancient Divine Kingdom.
