Chapter 649 The Development of Territorial Forces!

He indeed possessed the power to command the starry expanse, for he wielded a great divine power, ranking among the top powerhouses even on distant continents.

Much less so in the vastness of the starry sky, where the sea of stars could likely be suppressed with a mere thought, rendering it as insignificant as a toy.

The gods were utterly shaken. Though they had prepared themselves mentally, the emergence of a God Lord from the Demise Faction still caught them by surprise and awe.

"I never thought it was all true. The God of Annihilation did not lie; His Excellency, the God of Termination, has truly achieved God Lord status!"

"Such divine might is beyond comprehension. I feel as though I can barely breathe. Is this the aura of a God Lord?"

"This is truly a sudden turn of events!"

"With him, the Evil Faction now has a second God Lord, doesn't it?"

"There have long been rumors that the Evil Faction already possessed two God Lords, and His Excellency, the God Lord of Termination, might even be the third."

"Ultimately, it was just a rumor. The facts now show the Evil Faction only has two God Lords, but that is still immensely powerful."

"The strength of the Evil Faction has grown, and consequently, the pressure on the corresponding factions will increase."

"However, the Righteous Faction will remain undeterred by the Evil Faction."

"The Immortal-Demon Kingdom is likely in grave danger now."

"Heh, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom has been so arrogant and overbearing, daring to offend even a power with a God Lord. This indicates its demise is not far off."

"Precisely. This territorial faction has been far too presumptuous. If it were us, we would never dare to harm the God of Annihilation so readily, but the Immortal-Demon Kingdom dared to do so, and thus it must pay the price."

"No matter how special the Immortal-Demon Kingdom is or how many factions support it, it has ultimately reached its end. Its fate is now sealed."

"The destruction of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom is good news for us. Territorial factions are destined to be our enemies, and their potential is far too immense, posing a greater threat than the Evil Faction."

"Indeed. Territorial factions are inherently in conflict with our indigenous forces. For them to grow, they can only do so by becoming our enemies and initiating wars, and this is all under the protection of the world laws."

"Were it not for the world laws, the territorial factions would have been wiped out long ago. How else could they possess so many God Kings?"

"In the end, it all comes down to the ruler of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom being too arrogant and dismissive, not placing the God of Annihilation in his eyes."

"Exactly. Even we indigenous forces treat such individuals with caution, yet they completely disregarded them, striking them down at will. They are truly ungrateful. It is only natural that they are now being held accountable by a God Lord."

"I had foreseen this outcome long ago. The Immortal-Demon Kingdom's arrogance and overbearing nature would eventually come at a price, and now their retribution has arrived."

Many gods indeed voiced their opinions, believing the Immortal-Demon Kingdom was destined for destruction.

They harbored deep fear of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's potential and the disaster it could bring if it were to flourish.

Therefore, their current impending doom naturally filled them with joy.

"The God of Destruction is the brother of the God King of Termination. Now that he has been killed by some Demon Kings, he must be furious. The consequences can only be imagined. Let us watch and see."

"Heh heh, forget about him, I can barely watch myself. After all, the God of Bright Moon is one of our faith gods. Yet, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom showed no respect for our faith gods, indiscriminately killing fellow faith gods. Isn't that equivalent to slapping us in the face?"

"Indeed, as a faith god myself, I cannot stand idly by. I too now strongly wish to take action against the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, to make them realize their error and understand the authority of our faith gods."

"However, with His Excellency, the God Lord of Termination, present, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom must have already realized their folly, and they have lost their chance to repent."

"A mere territorial faction, I foresaw their demise long ago. May they perish quickly now."

"Heh heh, though I also wish to slay those evil gods, those evil gods were killed by the territorial faction. But at least they were faith gods. The Immortal-Demon Kingdom is merely a territorial faction, so by what right did they dare to kill faith gods? Now, the God Lord of faith intervening to destroy them is the best warning for them."

"A warning delivered by direct death!"

Both faith gods and Primordial Gods deeply detested territorial factions for numerous reasons. Firstly, it was due to resources. For both sides to develop, they inevitably required more resources. With conflicting needs for resources, they would become enemies.

Especially since territorial factions, to develop, had to essentially 'milk' the indigenous forces.

This was just one reason. There were many others, such as the struggle for believers, ideological conflicts, and disputes over world laws, and so on.

All these factors made the indigenous gods intensely loathe territorial factions.

...

While many gods held a grim outlook for the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's future, the faith beast gods remained steadfastly stationed near the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.

This seemed utterly incomprehensible to the other gods, who believed that Christina and Hu Ji, these two goddesses, had gone mad, intending to face death alongside the Immortal-Demon Kingdom within the faith beast god faction.

"The two rulers of the Faith Beast God faction have always been known for their shrewdness and unparalleled wisdom. Why are they acting so recklessly now? What kind of intoxicating potion did they take from the ruler of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom to remain so resolutely by his side?"

"Yes, it's one thing for the two goddesses, but even the faith beast gods are still resolutely following the lead of those two goddesses, intending to continue assisting the Immortal-Demon Kingdom."

"Are Christina and Hu Ji truly insane?"

The other gods were utterly perplexed by the abnormal actions of the Faith Beast God faction and openly mocked them.

To them, this was not a wise choice. With a God Lord now present, did the Faith Beast God faction truly intend to resist him alongside the Immortal-Demon Kingdom? Such an action would only lead to one outcome: both factions being annihilated by the God Lord.

Perhaps the Faith Beast God faction possessed some trump cards, but even so, it would leave them severely weakened.

However, some gods speculated that the two goddesses of the Faith Beast God faction must have some deeper intentions, otherwise, why would they risk such danger with the Immortal-Demon Kingdom?

In short, the situation was chaotic. Most gods believed the Faith Beast God faction would either be destroyed along with the Immortal-Demon Kingdom or suffer heavy casualties.
