Chapter 438: Plans can't keep up with changes
Everyone sprang into action.
Du Ge didn't give Raphael a chance to investigate the truth in Boderuna.
They drove the Sun God's chariot, first heading to the Forest God to acquire more poison that weakened divine power, and then made their way straight to the Moon God's resting place—the Frozen Valley.
This time, Raphael was driving.
Inside the Sun God's chariot.
Nobu cautiously asked, "Du Ge, is it time for the final battle?"
"Yes." Du Ge nodded.
"Is the Du Ge from the demon realm one of us?" Nobu hesitated for a moment, writing on the seat of the Sun God's chariot as he asked.
Du Ge glanced at him, and with a wave of his hand, a water curtain rose, isolating the three of them from the two outside, Phila and another. This was a new application of the Power of Poseidon that he had developed.
The water element infused with the Power of Poseidon in his martial soul not only blocked sound but also divine senses.After setting up the barrier, Du Ge said, "I don't know if he's one of us. My reputation is too big; anyone could impersonate me. Even if he is one of us, he could still betray us. We must never let our guard down..."
Saying this, he opened his personal interface and glanced at the remaining number of people.
There were still 171 people left.
This number hadn't changed for two days.
This indicated that each of the remaining individuals had acquired the ability to survive in this world.
This time, the Alien Star Battlefield was vast, with few participants. Each country had only one or two Alien Star warriors.
Given time to familiarize and adapt to the keywords, once they awakened one or two skills, the warriors would be hard to defeat.
"Du Ge, do we really not need the ancient gods as allies?" Eddie asked. "I think with your eloquence, you could easily persuade the ancient gods to join the battlefield. We don't have to kill them; by the time they realize it, we'd already be gone."
That's because I want to leave a legacy on this battlefield!
Du Ge replied, "Let's see. What we're doing is too extreme. I'm worried the ancient gods might stab us in the back on the battlefield."
"That's true." Eddie nodded in agreement. "Those ancient gods are too arrogant. Once they find out you killed the Sun God, they won't sleep well until they find a way to eliminate you, the unstable factor."
"That's what I'm afraid of." Du Ge sighed, "Striking first gives us the advantage, at least we can hold the initiative. As for the demon realm's demon king, as long as we gather enough Alien Star warriors, dealing with them should be easy..."
...
It took Du Ge and his companions three days to reach the Frozen Valley.
The Frozen Valley was also an alternate space.
Guarding the valley was a massive frost dragon.
This frost dragon was an old acquaintance of Raphael's. After hearing his explanation, it opened the Frost Moon Gate and led them into the Frozen Valley.
Every ancient god had their own temperament and personality.
Unlike the high-profile Sun God who allowed the archangels to leave, the Moon God sealed the alternate space while sleeping, preventing even the moon elves serving her from leaving the Frozen Valley.
This was why the archangels couldn't find the Moon God's secret realm. Without Raphael, the veteran archangel, Du Ge would likely have had to rely on other ancient gods to find this so-called Moon God's secret realm.
Even finding the ancient gods was so difficult for him, Du Ge suddenly wasn't worried that the remaining three ancient gods would be awakened by other Alien Star warriors.
...
As soon as Du Ge and his companions drove the Sun God's chariot into the Frozen Valley, they were stopped by a group of bird people with wings. These bird people were different from angels; their wings were transparent, resembling dragonfly wings.
"August, the Moon God is still asleep. Why did you let outsiders in?" The leader, a dragonfly person, raised a spear at Raphael, who was driving.
"Julia, don't you recognize him?" The frost dragon August revealed the Sun God's chariot behind him and said, "Raphael, the first archangel under the Sun God. We once fought side by side."
"Raphael, why aren't you guarding the demon realm?" Julia looked at Raphael with suspicion and coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Julia, the demon realm is about to invade the human world. The Sun God has been corrupted by the evil god and has fallen. I'm here to check on the Moon God's condition." Raphael flew out of the carriage and said to Julia.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. Julia trembled, incredulous, "The Sun God has fallen?"
"Julia, whether you believe it or not, it's the truth. Please take me to see the Moon God." Raphael said, "Moreover, the demon realm's army has already gathered. It's time to awaken the Moon God."
"Alright, follow me." Julia glanced at him, nodded, and led the way.
Raphael flew behind her, and Phila drove the Sun God's chariot to follow.
Julia stopped, turned to Phila, and coldly said, "You wait here. Let Raphael come with me. The Moon God doesn't allow strangers to approach while she sleeps."
"King Holly, you should wait here!" Raphael hesitated for a moment, advising, "If something really happened to the Moon God..."
Before he could finish.
Du Ge's martial soul had already unfolded.
Having reached the Moon God's territory, how could he let others awaken the ancient god?
Julia and the others hadn't reacted yet.
Du Ge had already flashed to the Moon God's temple door, pushed it open, and walked in. With his divine sense covering the area, the entire Frozen Valley held no secrets from Du Ge.
Even if his divine sense couldn't cover it, finding the Moon God wouldn't be difficult for Du Ge—just head for the most luxurious building at the mountain's peak.
These ancient gods were too arrogant to bother hiding themselves.
...
"Raphael, who is he?" Julia's expression changed drastically as she watched Du Ge break into the Moon God's temple. "What does he intend to do?"
"..." Raphael was completely stunned, seemingly unable to comprehend why Du Ge would act so impulsively.
Boom!
Suddenly, flames of the Sun God ignited on Phila, who was driving. He flew towards the Moon God's temple with the Sun God's body on his back: "Raphael, don't just stand there. Get ready for battle. The Moon God has also been corrupted by the evil god!"
With one sentence.
Raphael's expression turned extremely grim.
Julia also realized what was happening. She thrust her spear at Raphael, her face full of anger: "Raphael, I didn't expect you to become a lackey of the evil god."
The frost dragon realized it had let in enemies, roared, and flew towards the Moon God's temple.
Then.
The entire Frozen Valley descended into chaos.
A large number of moon elves charged towards the Moon God's temple, determined to save their deity.
The moon elves, untainted by the secular world, still held the purest intentions. To them, the Moon God was everything, and they must fight to protect her.
"I am innocent."
A voice filled with anger echoed throughout the valley, and the cold moonlight pierced through the Moon God's temple, scattering into the sky.
Within the moonlight.
Du Ge, holding the Sun God's head and engulfed in Sun God's flames, burst out from the Moon God's temple.
Du Ge stopped Phila, who was leading the charge, and with a few teleportations, reached Raphael's side.
With a wave of his hand, he slashed Julia with a sword and grabbed Raphael: "Let's go, the Moon God has been corrupted by the evil god and has lost her mind. Raphael, we'll lure her to the demon realm and use her power to fight the demon realm's forces. You lead the way..."
Raphael, confused, turned to look at the Moon God's temple.
A silver-haired goddess in white, barefoot, was looking this way.
Her face was expressionless, but her eyes were full of fury, looking truly like she had lost her mind.
While Raphael was in a daze, Du Ge had already kicked him into the Sun God's chariot, personally taking the reins and charging back the way they came: "Moon God, I'll be waiting for you in the demon realm. If you dare, come..."
The Sun God's chariot roared out of the Frozen Valley, and behind it, the cold moonlight was completely blocked by Du Ge's Sun God's flames.
"God King, what happened?" Phila asked curiously, "Why don't we deal with her like we did with the Sun God?"
Du Ge focused on driving, occasionally using his martial soul to wield the Sun God's power to intercept the Moon God chasing them on the frost dragon, feeling extremely frustrated.
Unlike the brash Sun God, the Moon God was too alert.
Before Du Ge could scatter the powder, she woke up.
As a result, she raised a hand to cast a defense, and the powder didn't land on her but instead got on him.
The moment the powder touched his body, Du Ge felt his divine power compressed by at least half, and its operation was not as smooth as before.
His divine power was already inferior to these ancient gods, and now, accidentally poisoned, his power was suppressed. When being overpowered by her, he couldn't even use his words to make her confess, let alone harm her.
In desperation, the only solution Du Ge could think of was to use the mobility of the Sun God's chariot to lure the Moon God to the demon realm, prematurely inciting the war between gods and demons, and securing those 300,000 mental power points first.
Moreover, by breaking into the demon realm, the fake Du Ge might even offer him some assistance. Once the poison's effect wore off, he'd find a way to deal with the Moon God.
To lure the Moon God into pursuit.
Du Ge, while she was still confused, used the Sun God's power to hit her with a seven-orifice touch. The Sun God's power, with its light and heat, was far more brutal than the Power of Poseidon. No wonder the Moon God went mad...
