Chapter 1562 - 1196: Million Against 300

The plan of the Dark Saintess proved successful. The first slaying of those Gods of War provided a significant Divine Status boost to the Golems, and due to their nearly cheat-like Divine Status fusion ability, the enhancement immediately reflected in their combat power. The edge of every Golem’s blade was imbued with a Divine Power edge tens of meters long, capable of piercing a God of War with each shot. In the face of such absolute power, the Gods of War dared not approach recklessly.

Yet even so, the Golems themselves suffered severe damage. The Divine Text failed after withstanding the strongest Divine Power impact once, and reconstructing the Divine Text took time, which they didn’t have at the moment. The Gods of War had begun indiscriminate bombardments, disregarding their comrades. After all, amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Gods of War from various Legions were present; enemy Legions’ Gods of War sought to inflict heavier losses on each other in the turmoil. Although the Golems were continuously absorbing Divine Status and enhancing their Divine Power, facing millions of enemies, they had done exceptionally well. In fact, under precise calculations, they had minimized their losses. As Golems, as long as their core remained undamaged, the damage to their body was acceptable.

The constant fighting and absorbing of Divine Status continually augmented the strength of Divine Power, allowing the Golems to start reversing part of the situation.

In fact, this is a basic strategy when the few face the many. Sometimes having too many enemies is not an advantage, especially if they aren’t from the same Legion, and even the Gods of War from the same Legion are not united. The chaotic assault did not concentrate the firepower to annihilate the Golems. On the contrary, it helped the Golems to slay more Gods of War, providing them with opportunities to absorb Divine Status. For the Golems, absorbing Divine Status meant an immediate boost in strength!

Despite the loss of the Divine Text shield, they could still use the Divine Power shield for defense. Given the extremely fierce attacks nearby, the consumption of Divine Power was also incredibly fast, but due to the continuous replenishment of surrounding Divine Status and the Golems’ nearly cheat-like replenishment speed of Divine Power, they barely managed to hold their ground!

Up to this point, the Gods of War had not noticed anything amiss, as they thought these Golems, covered in wounds, would be finished with just a bit more effort.

However, those Gods of War who got close to the Golems already felt an immense pressure because the Golems’ power increase was too obvious from the moment they joined the battle. Only the Gods of War fighting them directly could feel such tremendous pressure! Nonetheless, the surrounding Gods of War pressed on, leaving no room for those near the Golems to pull away, forcing them to keep on pouring in.

And this was also within the Golems’ calculations.

Piggy Snort stood on the surface of Mars, its energy fully retracted, just staring into the distance. After a while, it murmured softly, "Truly worthy of being the most perfect weapon of the Giant, able to calculate to such an extent, it seems my worries were unnecessary."

The replenishment of Divine Status meant an increase in the intensity of Divine Power, signifying an enhancement in power. Gradually, more and more Gods of War suddenly realized that these new gods seemed too strong, commenting that they appeared overly mighty. Their hands wielded combat swords that never stopped swinging; their shoulders mounted Light Cannons that fired ceaselessly; meanwhile, they had to endure a relentless barrage of Divine Power from around. By such estimates, the consumption of their Divine Power would be astonishingly high, and if it were any of the gods present, their Divine Power would have been depleted long ago. Yet now, not only did they show no signs of diminishing Divine Power, but they fought even more valiantly!

Could it be that they could gain enhancements directly through absorbing Divine Status, without waiting for the complete fusion of Divine Status? Not to mention the rarity of such an event, even if they could gain enhancements directly through Divine Status, the recovery speed of Divine Power should not be this fast, should it? They were three hundred in number, and the golden planet serving as their base didn’t seem large—how much supply could there be even if it were filled with believers? Most importantly, wasn’t the planet itself a god that also needed believers?

Various doubts swirled in the minds of the surrounding Gods of War, casting the Golems in an increasingly mysterious light.

Gradually, the Gods of War finally noticed a strong pressure exuding from the Golems. Typically, such pressure can only be felt when there is a great disparity in Divine Status levels. And now, a pressure emanated from those Golems! That could only mean one thing—these new gods, initially prey, had become unbeatably powerful!

Pressure does not lie; when the pressure started to be felt by every God of War around, they were all terrified.

They had only come to bully the rookies, and although it was unexpected to go to war with opposing Legions, it wasn’t unusual since they often waged war. But now these rookies, supposed to be bullied, suddenly unleashed an unconquerable pressure! Wasn’t that a bit too ridiculous?

The Gods of War found it unbelievable, but the Golems did not stop there; instead, they intensified their combat strength even further. According to calculations, the Gods of War’s body language and combat coordination indicated that they were rapidly losing their will to fight. And once a certain threshold was reached, they might flee. Although the Golems were wounded all over, they were at their peak combat power. If they didn’t take the opportunity to defeat more opponents now, the next time they waged war, the enemy might not be fooled again.
