Zhao Muchen watched the scene in the city without a change in his expression, like a God supervising the mortal world.
The panic amongst children, women, elderly... It didn't matter to him.
For him these people were nothing more than western animals, best they could do was to serve him and his kind as ox or cows.
But, as time passed he couldn't help but frown.
He transmitted his voice, " Venerable Maoyin, what's wrong? Why isn't the city breached? "
" Your Majesty... Just give this poor nun a little more time. "
As Venerable Maoyin's slightly frustrated voice returned, a magical phenomenon appeared in the skies of Hiesta city.
The Dharma Idol which was beseated suddenly stood up and raised it's head with a wise and compassionate glint in its eyes.
It held its hands together and started chanting enlightening verses.
And as it did, 72 Dharma Idols appeared.
Each of them opened their eyes and pointed at the barrier that looked like it was almost about to break with countless cracks on it.
" Amitabha! "
The chant resounded and a Golden light spread.
Crack!
With a deep sound, barrier cracked.
Venerable Maoyin smiled compassionately with folded hands, her eyes filled with satisfaction, " Amitabha. All Western Demons, be cleansed and return to reincarnation. "
Without a word she launched herself right at the center of the city where she felt multiple Stage 4 auras.
' That must be where the Player i-. "
Crash!
Zhao Muchen's eyes widened as he saw Venerable Moayin crashing right into a new barrier headfirst.
It seemed Venerable Maoyin couldn't believe it herself, as she for a moment couldn't even move a single inch and only twitched at the place.
Only after a moment did she fly back, and cursed, " Damn it! Die Demons!!!"
Her crashing out seemed valid, as she poured out every ounce of mana in her formidable figure and sure enough barrier broke again after another minute.
" How many of them are there?! " Venerable Maoyin's stunned voice resounded through the heavens.
Inside his airship, Zhao Muchen eyes narrowed, " Maoyin, Return. "
He could feel something was clearly wrong.
He wanted to plan before taking next set of actions.
Venerable Maoyin also understood this, and tried to return but suddenly she was locked into the place.
It was not due to some locking mechanism, but due to sheer fundamental force that was created when suddenly multiple lethal attacks landed on her.
Venerable Maoyin was stunned feeling multiple human auras around her.
She hurriedly conjured her Protective Dharma Body, Vajra Steel armour!
Her body turned to steel and attacks finally landed, turning everything into devastation.
The place where Venerable Maoyin was standing was destroyed completely, even the air was distorted and space fractured, leaving behind only the slighty disheveled figure of hers.
" YOU WESTERN DEMONS DESERVE TO DIE! "
Venerable Maoyin roared shedding all her compassion, as she looked at the eleven provocatively dressed feminine figures and 1 serpentine dragon surrounding her.
Her situation wasn't bad, but it wasn't perfect either.
The difference between Stage 4 and 5 wasn't as vast as Stage 3 and 4.
So, if caught off guard a Stage 5 being could be harmed by Stage 4 beings.
And Venerable Maoyin was exactly caught off guard!
Her current self was clearly looking pitiful, her simple robes from before now in tatters, with its edges and sleeves burnt.
Protecting her clothes had further increased the damage she had sustained, leaving her fuming.
Even though there was no single injury on her pristine skin, at their level such minor injuries meant not much.
And when real physical injury appeared. It definitely meant a serious injury.
" I will tank her, Beech and Teresa support me. Everyone else ready your spells! " Madison dressed in a sexy leotard, ordered everyone with her highest status as Alex's girlfriend.
Even Alina had to obey.
Other women nodded, as they took their positions.
" YOU!? You inferior Demons think you can keep me here!? " Venerable Maoyin laughed, she the sect master of Divine Holy Sect had never been ganged upon like this before.
A Golden dharma idol appeared behind her.
War God Mudra!
Zhao Muchen and Empress Dowager were similarly watching everything unfold.
" Chen'er... " Empress Dowager said worried.
Venerable Maoyin technically was her daughter-in-law, she didn't want her to be harmed.
" Don't worry. Maoyin isn't weak. She can handle them, " Zhao Muchen though remained composed and patted her head.
Looking at his confident expression, Empress Dowager felt relived.
She ignored the constant feeling of terror from her intuition as woman, deciding to believe her son.
Sure enough, even while being alone Venerable Maoyin didn't fall far behind her opponents.
Zhao Muchen nodded with satisfaction on his woman's display, deciding to end this child's farce.
" Stage 4 Ministers, join the battle alongside Venerable Maoyin, " His order resounded through airship.
" We obey! "
The female Stage 4 ministers all bowed and flew towards the battlefield to support Venerable Maoyin.
The pressure on Venerable Maoyin was instantly alleviated, as her composure returned.
With compassionate smile she started retaliating fiercely alongside her allies.
The massive war broke out above in the skies, as clouds separated, thunder crackled and it even started raining.
The battle between multiple Stage 4 and above beings was just that world changing.
With every clash, it was as if the world was ending.
* * * *
The long distance away, at the Capital of Albigion, in a grand throne room, a white haired and bearded man held the edges of his throne feeling the ground trembling.
" It finally started, " The King Moltros Albigion muttered, while looking in certain direction.
He already knew what was happening in the South. For he was the one who had requested Zhao Muchen's aid to destroy Hiesta city.
Even from this distance he could feel the world ending phenomenon created there.
" How can these foreigners flaunt themselves on our soil!? Husband, we need to do something, " His wife Serail Albigion not knowing his plans, said with indignant expression after listening to constant reports.
Serail was a kind looking woman, a very beautiful one at that with her body well endowed in exact places needed.
Even though age had taken some toll at her body, those places seem to have only become more and more pronounced.
Yet, she carried herself with regal aura and grace befitting her status as the Queen of millions.
Moltros' eyes narrowed, without turning to his worried wife he said. " It's not time yet. "
The various ministers were stunned.
" Your Majesty, please rethink... "
" Your Majesty, for the millennium we have always stood against foreign bandits... "
" We can't let them have even a single inch of our land! "
" Shut up! It's my order! Also order all Governers to hold their places! " Moltros Albigion glared at the ministers who had spoken.
Everyone couldn't help but stop talking.
Moltros also didn't want to do this, but he had no choice.
He couldn't win against those Players.
He only hoped, that they would tear at each other's throats. Letting him and his country have a moment to breath.
But, next moment a guard came running.
" Your Majesty, the palace gate has been breached! "
The news sent waves of shock.
Moltros stood up bewildered, " Who did it!? "
" It's been a while your majesty, " A feminine voice replied, as a beautiful and heroic young woman in red battle robe and long black boots floated in gracefully.
Her presence was unmatched, and just because she was there it was as if whole throne room had one more diva.
Seeing her, Moltros became even more stunned, " Cynthia Iwanosky! What is the meaning of this!? "
" Moltros, you're unfit to rule this Kingdom, " Cynthia said, leaving all honorifics behind.
With her gesture, multiple fully armed warriors entered the throne room with solemn gait.
" Cynthia, you're like my dear daughter. Why are you doing this? If there is something you need tell me or his majesty... Also, didn't you go to World Dungeon to save Dalton? Where is my son? " Serail Albigion seeing Cynthia completely determined, took gentle approach to talk to her.
Some time ago, a news had come.
Her son Dalton alongside warriors of Albigion was stuck in World Dungeon at a place and needed help.
Cynthia was supposed to go there and help.
Listening to Serail talking so intimately, Cynthia scoffed inwardly deciding to punish this bitch.
" Aunt Serail. I have always thought of you as my second mother. Don't worry, your son Dalton Albigion is safe, he has joined the hands with Princess of Helios to ascend the Doomsday tower. "
" I returned to tell everyone the news only to find your husband colluding with foreigners. He even made a deal to exchange me and... many more... in return of eternal subservience!? Disgusting! " Cynthia spoke sorrowfully with betrayed expression.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, she even presented evidences of how Zhao Muchen contacted Moltros and how Moltros decided to bend his knees.
The evidence even entailed how the deal included Cynthia and several influential women in Albigion which Moltros had to exchange for protection from Zhao Muchen.
Those several influential women included multiple members of Royal Family including Moltros' wife Queen Serail Albigion, his own daughters, previous queen, princesses!
That was not the end, as the names of several female family members from the people in throne room surfaced next.
The ministers were shocked.
Serail Albigion herself was shocked.
Her body trembled and face turned red as she almost fell down.
" Husband... did you? ... " She muttered, turning to her husband in disbelief, who stood there shocked.
One look at the face of her husband who she had shared countless nights with, was enough to tell her that there was truth to Cynthia's words.
Ministers also, as they looked at Moltros now, their eyes no longer held the usual awe and respect for him.
They didn't believe everything, but obviously there wouldn't be fire without firewood.
May be, Moltros really was into cuckolding himself?
'Nima! We're not the same! ' They cried inwardly.
Moltros' face turned red with fury.
" All lies! All lies! She's deceiving you all! " As expected Moltros directly denied everything.
He had only made a deal to exchange Cynthia with Zhao Muchen.
Everything else was made up! Completely made up!
Cynthia coldly laughed, " It doesn't matter. Each way you won't be the King anymore. "
" You bitch! You want to usurp the throne!? "
" Not me. She will be the Queen of Albigion, " Cynthia said as she pointed at the door.
Moltros and Serail were stunned to see a well endowed beautiful young woman there.
" Savannah? What are you doing? Have you gone insane?!" Moltros asked furiously.
" Father, you have disappointed me and your people.... I'll be the Queen from now on and lead the Albigion. It's time for you to step down, " Savannah said coldly as she stood besides Cynthia.
Behind them were standing multiple family heads.
Many ministers in the throne room also suddenly switched places, making their stances clear.
Remaining ministers wavered.
Most stood behind Cynthia and Savannah, while minimum remained neutral.
Only few die hard supporters remained with Moltros.
Moltros was beyond furious, " You! You! A woman can't seat on Royal Throne of Albigion! "
" Guards! " He roared.
Only for the Captain of his Personal Guards to come forward and drop his weapons.
" Your Majesty, I can't serve the King who sells his own country... And his own relatives, " The old knight said before leaving the throne room, alongside many of his comrades.
He was Serail's uncle by relationship, and was disgusted by Moltros' dealings with Zhao Muchen which he had known all along.
He didn't know specifics before, but hearing his wife and daughter's name in Cynthia's list, he almost wanted to kill this bastard himself.
Not standing against him, was his final act of respect to the throne.
" Seize him! " Cynthia ordered.
Next without any suspense, she guided Savannah to take over the throne while throwing previous king into house arrest.
* * * *
While a Royal ceremony was happening at Capital... Back at Hiesta city, the battle of Godesses continued in the skies.
There was no clear victor initially, but gradually Venerable Maoyin and her allies were gaining upper hand with sheer force.
" If only there wasn't that God forsaken barrier, we would have won long ago, " Empress Dowager grumbled impatiently like a little woman in Zhao Muchen's lap.
But, just then she suddenly felt something.
" Hm? " She raised her eye, her previous coy behavior gone as she felt the certain barrier now covering them as well.
Next moment, she felt a large movement from Hiesta city.
The city gates opened!
Crowds of women started seeping out from each of them, all heading in a single direction!
" Did they separate us from outside world? " Zhao Muchen asked from his throne.
Even with his limited personal strength,he had already come to conjecture.
Empress Dowager nodded, and said, " We're inside the barrier somehow and thousands of people are rushing at us. I can feel it, none of them are at Stage 3. "
Zhao Muchen frowned, " Do they think, since I'm separated from Maoyin. I'll be weak now? But, all of them are so weak. No. There is something wrong with them! "
Next second, Zhao Muchen's voice resounded once again, " Royal Guards of Celestial Empire! March out to Take the city! "
The thousand female Royal Guards in the airship all assembled at once, fully armed from head to toe in white armors.
Next moment they were all teleported outside.
From this distance they could only see a human tide rushing at them, yet these thousand women felt no fear.
Like valiant Valkyries they raised their swords and spears, each an artifact!
These were the most elite soldiers of Celestial Empire, with nearly 300 of them at Stage 3 peak, 400 at early and mid Stage 3 and remaining all, at least Stage 2 peak!
This was like full deck of Hiesta city's mid tier line up, in just one airship.
Zhao Muchen's real strength was definitely far above it!
In few minutes, the women from Hiesta city and these valiant valkyries of Celestial Empire met in the bloody clash!
What followed after was the one sided slaughter!
The specially reinforced weapons pierced through those frail Stage 1 and 2 women, killing them on the spot.
" March! " The Captain of Royal Guards Murong Xue ordered with blood staining her from top to bottom.
The thousand women shouted in unison and started walking towards the city leaving blood and gory in their steps.
In just some time hundreds of women from Hiesta city died without corpses.
" What a pity. Dying like this... It's their sin to have chosen the wrong Lord, " Empress Dowager muttered, feeling slight pity for fellow women.
" Wait. Something is wrong. They're not dead, " But, Zhao Muchen muttered.
Only then Empress Dowager properly noticed something, " There are no corpses? "
Zhao Muchen immediately started thinking.
" An Artifact?... But, it must have a price and limitation. Price I wonder. But, limitation is definitely upto Stage 2 peak, " Zhao Muchen brilliantly deduced almost all information in few minutes.
Each time, a woman from Hiesta city died, she would disappear leaving behind only the clothings and weapons she were holding.
After some time, the same woman would charge out of city gates far behind.
Empress Dowager tried to survey inside the city, " Oh no! They're being resurrected at city gates! "
" Intriguing! " Even Zhao Muchen was slightly surprised, but he wasn't tense, " No worries. Once I kill the Player. His women and artifacts. All shall be mine! "
Meanwhile, the number of women that kept pouring steadily increased.
Zhao Muchen's valiant guards were strong, but after experiencing the first slaughter, women from Hiesta city had become better at utilising their numbers.
The amount these valiant valkyries killed was far less than what was being poured at them.
Empress Dowager could estimate approximately 100 thousand numbers that kept recycling non stop.
That was a horrifying number!
Sure enough, as time passed they completely surrounded those thousand Royal Guards from all sides.
" What a sinful villain... He is even sending children and elderly to their deaths, " Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Zhao Muchen also frowned, seeing such behavior.
But, he was surprised because he could see that not all those women from Hiesta city were brainwashed.
Then why were they obeying that Player?
" Worry not dear mother. These uncivilized creatures will face my retribution, " Zhao Muchen righteously said, as he held Empress Dowager's boneless hand.
Empress Dowager nodded.
Meanwhile, by now those Royal Guards covered half the distance, behind them they created a bloody path through tens of thousands.
Murong Xue was at the helm of Royal Guards.
Her tall figure valiantly swinged her spear killing countless in one sweep.
" Captain Murong, want to bet who kills more? " She heard a pleasant voice from side.
It was her Vice Captain and her rival, Song Xue.
They both had same given name, leading to their rivalry since birth.
Well it was more of Song Xue always picking fights with her.
" Song Xue we're in enemy lines, be clear headed, " Murong Xue replied, as she kept killing.
" Tch. Boring. Look at these rubbles. They don't even qualify as my enemies. Only you qualify. Haha, " Song Xue laughed covered in blood, her spear brutally murdering.
Murong Xue also felt the same.
This wasn't even a battle.
It was like wolves slaughtering sheep.
Just as she was thinking, a commotion rang out in ranks behind.
From corner of her eyes Murong Xue saw dozens of naked women from Hiesta city suddenly jumping over everyone, trying to reach the inner ranks of the Royal Guards.
All of them at Stage 2 peak!
Murong Xue had a bad premonition, " Stop them! "
Her shout came late, as those women directly picked up a certain Stage 2 Royal Guard and pulled her to them.
Multiple of them died, but still two escaped with that female Royal guard in captivity.
Murong Xue was stunned. But, her mind rang fast.
She shouted orders fast, " Don't go after them! "
But, one Stage 3 woman didn't listen.
She directly jumped out of lines, going after those assailants to save her comrade.
But, It was her biggest mistake, as when she made some distance, hundreds of enemies attacked her simultaneously.
The Stage 3 Royal Guard valiantly killed hundreds, but in the end she was but a mere one woman.
Faced with thousands, she couldn't protect every part of her body.
Her white armour was broken and shed long ago, displaying her naked tantalizing figure to the air.
While, those enemies of hers showed no mercy attacking her weak zones like eyes and mouth!
Even her vagina and asshole got pierced by some depraved women, forcing her to face unimaginable agony, that sent shivers down the spines of other Royal Guards.
Under their continuous attacks, that Stage 3 Royal Guard regretted her actions and screamed for help, before she was overwhelmed and was brought to death's edge.
Murong Xue and others could do nothing but watch, as their 2 comrades disappeared amongst crowd, leaving them terrified.
They finally understood the meaning of, how even weak ants could overwhelm the domineering elephant!
