Chapter 1556 - 1193 Thinking with Stomach_2

At the start, the gods from the four Legions were desperately attacking, intending to concentrate all their firepower to annihilate the mere three hundred Golems. But they soon realized that this was just wishful thinking on their part. Even with all their firepower concentrated, the formidable strength of the Darkness gods was still impossible to resist!

"We need to run!" Some god from the periphery suddenly yelled, and the entire battle group immediately collapsed.

"Run? We can’t run! I went through a lot of trouble to deceive you all into coming here; how can you just run away like that?" Little Pig huffed anxiously, stomping its hooves on the ground and shouting, "Mars! Block them for me!"

At this moment, Mars had not been participating in the fighting, as per Huhu’s request, but now, it understood why.

The golden planet began to deform, the Giant Divine Alloy Armor splitting and reassembling into an immensely huge device.

"Space Stabilization Device!"

Buzz!

A strange wave of Divine Power rippled through the area. Except for a few gods who managed to tear through space and escape at the beginning, the gods who were preparing to flee soon found out that they couldn’t tear through space any longer!

To the Giant, the Space Stabilization Device was merely a basic tool, whose sole function was as its name suggested: to stabilize space. The gods present had been crudely using Divine Power to tear through space to escape, but now they were countered by the Space Stabilization Device, which reinforced the space instead.

Realizing they had no way to escape, the gods instantly panicked.

"It’s that planet! It’s the one causing this trouble! We can’t leave unless we destroy it!"

Instantly, a portion of the gods at the periphery turned to attack Mars.

If this had been in the past, Mars would have been scared out of its wits. But now, Mars was battle-hardened. Seeing the enemy approaching from afar, parts of the Divine Alloy immediately transformed into huge Light Cannons that hovered around the planet, bombarding the gods who were rushing towards them.

Compared to the Darkness gods, Mars hadn’t really fought much, and the gods present had never seen anything like Divine Power Light Cannons. One by one, they were struck squarely, their bodies shattered, and their Divine Status absorbed by Mars.

"That’s right, just like that! Kill them all!" Little Pig shouted excitedly.

Once the morale of the troops starts to waver, momentum became the issue. After the initial failure to overcome the enemy, the gods prepared to retreat, only to find that tearing through space was ineffective. When they turned to attack the Space Stabilization Device, they discovered that its own defenses were even higher!

What were they to do now?

The gods, having run out of options, finally collapsed in confidence, losing their cooperation and coordination, and began to fight on their own. They were already at a disadvantage when fighting together, let alone now that they were fighting separately. On the other hand, the Golems’ combat strength was skyrocketing, with their ability to instantly absorb Divine Status and elevate Divine Power to its peak, ensuring that the Golems could suppress their opponents at any time.

However, the goal of annihilating all the enemies was ultimately not achieved, because Mars had run out of energy. After all, Mars was on its own, using its Divine Power to stabilize the entire space against countless gods trying to tear through space to escape. Being able to hold out this far was already impressive. Nonetheless, Little Pig huffed angrily, indicating that Mars had wasted its genius strategy.

The gods fled, Mars returned to its planet form, and the Darkness gods returned to the planet. After this battle, the strength of the Darkness gods had further increased, and Mars had reached the pinnacle of the eighth ring.

"We’ll rest for a while, and after I’ve had my fill, we’ll continue on!"

Little Pig’s mouth was practically watering as it looked at the remnants of the battle drifting in space.

Mars gained a lot from this battle; it had never known how to fight before. But the Darkness Saintess transformed it with Giant technology, enabling it to reconfigure itself into various devices through Divine Alloy. These devices, powered by Divine Power, could unleash power far surpassing that of Divine Power. This opened a new door for Mars.

"So, let’s depart! Towards the seventh ring!" said Little Pig, full after eating and drinking.

Entering the seventh ring was no different from entering the eighth ring before; the most important thing was to be combat-ready. Because whenever the passageway opened, there would always be some gods waiting on the other side, ready to take the Divine Status from those new gods who had just arrived.

But this time, things were a bit different.

Mars, which had completed its full Divine Alloy transformation, took on the role of the carrier as it passed through the channel in its highest defensive mode. As expected, when it emerged from the silver disc, it was immediately met with an extremely fierce onslaught. The attack was much stronger than in the eighth ring, but fortunately, Mars had already undergone a sufficient upgrade, so the attack caught it by surprise but was not enough to harm it.

The Golems hid underneath Mars’ armor, and they could sense through the surrounding Divine Power fluctuations that the attack intensity was clearly a level higher than that of the eighth ring. But because they had just had a massive Divine Status enhancement before coming to the seventh ring, these sudden attacks essentially didn’t surprise them at all.

Or rather, it was somewhat weaker than they expected.

"Mars, give us some space to fight!"
