Chapter 413 - 58: The Giant Demon Emperor Strikes, Two Ancient Species Fall
This being was, after all, a true Dominator, a Star God.
As the absolute Controller of a planet, his Power was far beyond that of an Ancient Deity who had just stepped into the Divine Tier.
And the moment he appeared...
His terrifying form, spanning over ten thousand kilometers, was projected throughout the entire Star Sea.
At that same instant, the Sea Slugs that had been attempting a final, desperate struggle were all suddenly teleported by the Space Power that materialized beside them.
In just an instant.
The nearly thirty-seven remaining Sea Slug avatars found themselves beneath the Emperor of the Empire, completely enveloped by his terrifying Divine Power.
Indeed.
Just as Divine Matty had said.
The Emperor of the Giant Demon Empire, Tobien, did indeed control the Law Power of Space.
While it seemed his mastery was inferior to Lince’s, at the Dominator Level, the Space Law Power he wielded was still an overwhelming force to Lower-Rank Deities.
"Submit!"
"Or die!"
"Choose!"
Giant Demon Emperor Tobien looked down with an indifferent gaze at the thirty-seven trembling Sea Slugs below.
"I... I, the God of Deep Sea and Ice, am willing to submit to the strong!"
The Sea Slug had lost all its dignity as an Ancient Deity.
It felt the Giant Demon Emperor’s terrifying Power, just as it had once felt the Power of the terrifying Feathered Insect Deities on the continent.
Faced with such a terrifying Deity, it lowered its proud, Ancient Species head.
’After all, what could be more terrifying than death?’
The same was true even for Ancient Deities.
Moreover, while Ancient Deities were powerful, they were not faith-based deities. Once dead, there was no resurrection.
Thus, they cherished their lives all the more.
After all, any Ancient Species that didn’t value its life would have already been weeded out over the long history of the Barbaric Planet.
The Sea Slug’s avatars gradually merged into a single entity. It lay there meekly in the void, cautiously bowing its head toward the Giant Demon Emperor, its entire body seemingly trembling.
Seeing this, the Giant Demon Emperor finally gave a slight nod, his gaze still indifferent.
"Very good!"
With that, the Giant Demon Emperor extended his terrifying palm. As easily as a giant plucking a caterpillar, he took the Sea Slug into his grasp.
’Is this the Power of a Dominator?’
’Is this the Power of a Star God?’
Although the Giant Demon Emperor’s Power was far from rivaling Lince’s, to the Storm Goddess and the Gods of the Star Empire...
...this level of Power was already sufficiently domineering and impressive!
Thus, as they gazed upon this Dominator-Level Deity, a flicker of longing appeared in the eyes of the Deities of the Star Empire.
As for fear?
There was certainly no need for that.
After all, setting aside Lince, the Dragon God, their Empire’s own Giant Serpent God Kukudar was far more powerful than this Dominator.
At this moment, the Emperor of the Empire calmly swept his gaze over the assembled Gods.
He gave them a slight nod.
"Our business here is concluded. I trust you all will continue to apply yourselves."
After speaking, the Emperor’s figure slowly vanished amid a ripple in Space.
Naturally, the captured Ancient Species, the Sea Slug, vanished along with him.
"He did it!"
"Thank goodness His Majesty arrived in time. With this Ancient Species, the Empire’s foundations will surely be elevated to a new level."
"His Majesty can even use it to uncover the secrets of the Ancient Species and reach an even greater height himself."
The expressions of Main God Moridun and the other Giant Demon Empire Gods finally relaxed.
And as they relaxed, a powerful sense of joy welled up within them.
After all, nothing was more important than capturing an Ancient Species.
Even if it was just one, it gave the Giant Demon Empire hope of continuing its climb to the zenith of civilization.
It even gave them a sliver of psychological comfort.
’Even if the Giant Demon Empire can’t catch up to its ally, the Star Empire, at least we can’t be left completely in the dust.’
And the Sea Slug represented hope for the Giant Demon Empire!
As for the other Ancient Species on the planet, the Emperor of the Giant Demon Empire clearly had no intention of taking further action.
Clearly, this Giant Demon Emperor was a being who kept his word and knew when to stop.
He had said he wanted one Ancient Species, and he took only one.
Even though there were other, weaker Ancient Species on the planet, he did not intervene further.
However, this course of action was also clearly a wise one.
Because he had honored his word, the Giant Demon Empire’s future gains would surely extend far beyond this single Ancient Species.
It was just as the Authority Holders of the Star Empire had discussed.
If there were any surplus Ancient Species on the Barbaric Planet, they wouldn’t mind giving the Giant Demon Empire a corpse or two.
It would be a simple gesture of returning the favor.
It would also serve to uphold the Star Empire’s legitimacy and its magnanimous reputation for embracing all.
After all, the Giant Demon Empire had been the one to discover this planet.
’In the end, the Star Empire stands only to gain, so what’s not to like about letting their junior ally have a bit more of the spoils and earn their eternal gratitude?’
"That first battle was a close call, but thankfully, the final outcome was good," Main God Moridun of the Giant Demon Empire, smiling and in high spirits, now said to the Storm Goddess and the other Gods.
The Storm Goddess gave a placid nod.
"A good result is all that matters."
"From here, we just need to proceed as planned."
"However, it seems our strength is still somewhat insufficient when dealing with an Ancient Species that has achieved Ascension to Divinity."
"Since your esteemed Emperor has already taken action, we shall have the esteemed Giant Serpent God oversee the next battles."
"We cannot allow a single one of this planet’s Ancient Life forms to escape. After all, to us Gods of the Star Empire, they are rare Ancient Materials and potential candidates for Subordinate Gods."
