Chapter 685 - 241: Taking Shape_2
"Don’t rush, wait a bit longer,"
La’s eyes slightly lifted, as if responding.
The scene above the Sea of Origin was not merely a display of power. The strength of the Outer God was enough to easily crush the resistance of the three Gods, but their slight ability to resist was because the Mortal Realm’s war had not yet been decided.
Therefore, the power constituting the chessboard was somewhat protecting them—but it was clear to everyone that the struggle of the three Gods likely couldn’t last much longer.
"The chessboard has been spread, no one can leave, unless, any of you can break free from the World Power that constitutes the chessboard, and then defeat the Outer God in a head-on confrontation."
La’s gaze narrowed as he glanced around.
Aside from the Pillar Gods who had yet to make a move, only three remained: Earth God Geb, God of Underworld Osiris, and Nephthys, protector of both the living and the Undead. In reality, this was a result he had intentionally brought about.
The enemy’s methods were more numerous than he had anticipated, but La was not without countermeasures.
"You can’t do it, and neither can I."
"All we can do now is make as many preparations as possible for the next step."

Tearing—
On the land, beneath the towering trees, the harsh combat continued.
Kash had underestimated Aaron’s preparations; the seemingly poisonous version of Fountain’s water could actually be influenced by man. The ant bridge he had constructed was quickly extinguished by the waves, once again stalling the offensive.
But it seemed like Aaron’s tactics had also reached their limit. When Kash ordered his army to use the most primitive method to transport soil and rubble, trying to fill the moat with a do-or-die approach, the countdown to close combat began.
The Spring of Life was ineffective against the lifeless, and a path was easily filled by the endless insects and jackals, even though the water kept churning.
The inundating army surged like a tide, clashing with the soldiers who had been soaked in the Fountain’s water in advance.
Things then slid towards the direction Aaron least wanted to see. Although the desert’s insects and jackals were temporarily unable to contend with the soldiers soaked in the Fountain’s water, their numbers were a thousand to ten thousand times that of the Guards.
The panic in the crowd intensified. At this point, Messe must have also realized the severity of the situation.
"Never mind, we continue, and you guys also try to give me a chance,"
"What?"
"That person."
Looking towards Kash in the surging darkness, Aaron smiled: "Whether we retreat or not, I have to kill him first."
"A snake can’t move without a head, nor can a bird fly. Without their leader, these insects and jackals will be much easier to deal with."
"Their numbers might indeed be endless, but as their master, I wonder if this man has an Undying Body?"
Undying is naturally a joke; Hemenu does not have Undying.
So, crouching low and pretending to flee in panic, Aaron signaled his most capable assistants to charge with him.
If it weren’t for the Spring of Life, Aaron, as Messe’s brother and at his age, would not have had the strength to charge into battle.
······
Crack—
Like a bolt of lightning streaking across the boundless surface of the water, it stirred up tremendous waves.
When Aaron intended to strike at Kash amidst the surge of insects, in the Void, the power that had been protecting Seth suddenly dropped.
Although things hadn’t started yet, the outcome seemed to have been foretold.
In this situation, had Seth chosen to curl up beside the Rain God and the Sky Goddess, he might have been able to survive a bit longer. However, feeling this change, he still pressed forward unabated.
"Seth... how did I not realize before that he is so valiant."
"Had I known, I might have changed the order, let Geb act before him, and saved him for later."
A slight regret passed through his heart, but it was fleeting.
