Chapter 766: Chaotic Battlefield

After Sein experienced a disorienting shift in time and space, he arrived in a world under a yellow sky.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Almost immediately, the intense planar suppression weighed down on his shoulders like a mountain.

The Magus World Army also experienced planar suppression in the Verdant Wilderness World.

Since the Verdant Wilderness World suffered heavy losses and reached an agreement with White Spirit, the planar will’s impact on the Magus World Army diminished to almost negligible levels.

However, things were different in the Wild Gorilla World.

Despite being recently breached by Feylis and others to allow the passage of legions of millions strong, this medium-sized plane remained largely undamaged!

Its planar barrier was still intact, and the full planar suppression effect was a substantial burden for Rank Two mages like Sein.

This battle marked Sein’s first experience in a medium-sized plane’s war.

A fierce storm, laden with the scent of blood, swept toward his legion.

Just like the other side of the spatial rift, the area where Sein and the others emerged was also a gruesome landscape—a deep pool of blood with pulp mixed in it.

At first glance, it appeared to be an endless expanse filled with corpses and floating skulls.

Even perched atop the towering Green Spikefur King, which offered him an expansive view, Sein could not discern where this macabre sea of blood and death ended.

The hurricane, unnatural and violent, blew from the east.

Looking toward the hurricane, Sein observed the distant sky divided dramatically: one half was blood red and the other azure blue, with specks of green elemental light.

Drawing on his experience from participating in multiple interplanar wars, Sein recognized that such unusual celestial phenomena could only be caused by the powers of Rank Four or higher entities clashing with each other.

In Verdant Wilderness World, Sein had witnessed the might of demigods, but neither the Green Spikefur King nor the Kingfisher at his side could conjure such cataclysmic effects.

Only the so-called “gods” of the lesser creatures were capable of performing such miracles.

Facing a distant elemental tide surging with the intensity of a volcanic eruption, any sensible mage below Rank Four would opt for a detour.

Before Sein could adapt to the Wild Gorilla World’s unique environment and planar laws’ suppression, Lorianne’s voice rang out from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring badge on his chest.

Lorianne would usually use a crystal ball’s private channel for direct communications with Sein.

For her to send a message through his divine tower’s badge indicated that this was not merely her directive to Sein, but a command to the entire Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army.

“Coordinates 123.87.662, all troops move out to support the Order of the Fiery Molten Mountain!” Her clear voice commanded through the badge.

Sein was not the first to move; the centaur legion, their hooves coated in sticky blood, charged ahead, galloping straight toward a northeastern point.

The centaurs from the Maya Tribe had come to understand the standard coordinate system used by Magus World mages during the last Verdant Leaf World War.

The cannon fodder legions familiar with the Magus World culture were indeed more useful.

The combat prowess displayed by these centaurs also met the expectations of most of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring mages.

Following the centaur legion was Lorianne’s plant legion.

The plant giants, grown from the Viridescent Seeds, naturally could not match the speed of the four-hooved centaurs.

However, Sein's mentor, Lorianne, was currently positioned directly above this army of verdant giants.

From her, a verdant elemental light emanated, bathing the plant giants in its glow.

Originally sluggish in their movements, these plant creatures gained noticeable speed once illuminated by the elemental light.

Sein also suspected that the elemental light released by Lorianne could enhance the combat capabilities of these hundreds of thousands of plant giants, though that remained to be tested during the upcoming close-quarters battle.

When Sein and the other members of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army passed through the space-time rift and arrived at Wild Gorilla World, they found themselves wading through vast amounts of blood, pulp, and irrecognisable remains.

They had been advancing for twenty sandglasses, yet not a single living creature from Wild Gorilla World had been spotted.

Clearly, the Wild Gorilla World had faced a fierce battle before the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army’s arrival.

The elemental light and energy fluctuations illuminating the distant sky were stark reminders that this world remained a perilous battlefield where conflicts erupted incessantly.

Streaks of flaming meteors crossed the sky—though Sein was uncertain whether they were conjured by the summoning magic of Magus World mages or the Wild Gorilla World’s special way of retaliating.

In the chaos of the battlefield and the erratic elemental tides, Sein’s mental focus allowed him only to discern events within a radius of a thousand meters around himself at most.

Since arriving in Wild Gorilla World, the Green Spikefur King under Sein’s command had become visibly agitated. Its spikes bristled, standing upright like steel needles—a clear sign that it sensed imminent, overwhelming danger.

Even the Kingfisher perched on Sein’s shoulder seemed subdued.

The sky above them was a battleground for at least ten Rank Four or higher creatures, deterring any lesser beings from ascending beyond two thousand meters.

It was not just the fear of getting caught in these higher beings’ conflicts; the turbulent elemental tides in the sky alone were potent enough to disintegrate any unwary Rank Three creatures.

Another scorching beam of iridescent light sliced across the sky, narrowly missing the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s vanguards and blasting a nearby hill into a valley.

Sein had never faced such peril, not even during the fiercest fortress defenses in the Thunderfall World.

Here, survival for lesser beings was not guaranteed by mere bravado.

The fierce war introduced uncertainty and danger, creating an environment where every creature that entered this brutal fray encountered a fate that was meted out fairly.

Sein fumbled for his crystal ball and crouched lower, sending a message to Natalya and the others.

“All of you, stay close to me! Leena, come here too!”

The intensity of the conflict in Wild Gorilla World surpassed anything Sein had imagined.

He believed this overwhelming spectacle was also unprecedented for most of the Rank One and Two beings from the Magus World.

In this chaos, proceeding separately was tantamount to courting death.

For now, Sein’s survival in this interplanar war depended heavily on his three demigod-level allies—the skeletal dragon Sanchez, the Green Spikefur King, and the Kingfisher—aside from Lorianne.

Lorianne, a Rank Four mage, could not possibly babysit Sein around the clock.

Suddenly, a violent explosion and a wave of energy turbulence erupted behind him, obliterating nearly a thousand lesser aquatic creatures in an instant.

The overwhelming sense of helplessness and lack of control over his own fate made Sein miss Tourmaline’s presence.

With her colossal turtle shell shielding them, their chances of surviving this brutal interplanar war would significantly increase.

Although Tourmaline had recently expressed her desire to join the fight, she could not immediately teleport herself here.

Sein had no idea when Black Oblivion and its magic beast kings would arrive in the Wild Gorilla World either.

Instead of Tourmaline’s arrival, he ended up facing a formidable legion of Wild Gorillas first.

This area was a network of crisscrossing gullies. Sein noticed a scarcity of native plants in the region they were traversing. Aside from blood, flesh, and mud, the ground was mostly covered with gravel and clumps of severely decomposed dirt.

The unique terrain of this gully fostered the growth of several native plants from Wild Gorilla World. Towering over ten meters high, these plants closely resembled coconut trees.

Apart from that, an underground river polluted by blood wound its way through the landscape.

Tens of thousands of knights and legions of enslaved creatures clashed fiercely with the Wild Gorilla Army across the expansive gully.

The wild gorillas’ vassal legions were not present; these were all the finest of their soldiers.

Despite the overwhelming force of the Magus Civilization’s vanguards, the Wild Gorillas were undeterred.

They had paid a heavy price but continued to hold their ground and even tried to drive away the invading army.

This was a close-quarters battle where neither side could retreat.

Although Sein had not been present for the initial ferocious clashes when the Magus Civilization Army first breached into the Wild Gorilla World, the intensity of the current conflict surpassed any he had previously experienced.

This was a desperate fight for survival, and the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army was here as fresh reinforcements to support the Order of the Fiery Molten Mountain!

Swoosh!

A verdant green elemental glow streaked across the sky, transforming the previously yellow heavens into a vibrant green.

Sein’s mentor, Lorianne, had made her move.

After buffing up the nearby plant creatures and Dendromancer with a support spell, Lorianne soared toward the depths of the distant gully, where Rank Four powerhouses clashed.

That area was no place for lesser creatures to intervene.

Sein commanded a legion of over a hundred thousand strong, positioning them strategically in a circular gully to his right.

This location was chosen for its tactical advantage, allowing coordination with the centaur legion on his left. At the same time, it was also densely populated with knights and legions of Magus World’s enslaved creatures.
