It must be said that the allied forces had truly underestimated the strength of the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
Or rather, everyone, including the entire territorial forces, had underestimated the true might of the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
Who could have imagined that the Immortal Demon Kingdom possessed so many Saint-tier powerhouses, and that each Saint-tier expert's combat prowess far surpassed that of their peers?
The current strength of the allied forces was utterly incapable of defeating these over three thousand Saint-tier powerhouses.
Their only hope now was for the deities of their own faction to descend swiftly.
The only thing they could do was to stall for time as much as possible while maximally depleting the vital forces of the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army.
However, it was clear that crushing the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army, let alone destroying its capital, was a highly unrealistic goal.
Thus, the leader of the Night Demon tribe was also extremely anxious, yet unsure of what to do, only able to await the arrival of those worshipped deities.
In response to the Night Demon leader's inquiry, Shi Kedi of the Lion Tribe Kingdom replied, "It should be soon!"
It was evident that he himself was deeply uncertain.
After all, the news received earlier indicated only a little over ten minutes, yet almost half an hour had passed without the sight of a single deity.
This situation made Shi Kedi, as the leader of the kingdom faction alliance, feel quite embarrassed.
Were all worshipped deities this unreliable with time?
"I think we should ask again. Let's see if they are coming or not. If not, we retreat immediately!"
The Grand Preceptor of the Eagle Tribe Nation said in a deep voice, his tone betraying his dissatisfaction with the worshipped deities' lack of punctuality.
The reason for wanting to retreat was naturally because they knew that if this war continued in its current state, it would not only result in heavy losses but also diminish their chances of victory.
After all, they could not break through the defensive line of the Immortal Demon Kingdom's capital.
When the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army grew tired, they could return to the capital to rest and then continue fighting.
The allied forces would be utterly helpless against them.
Moreover, the demise of the Serpent People's beast god had already proven that the Immortal Demon Kingdom had deities.
Yet, the Immortal Demon Kingdom's deities had not yet made their move.
And the allied forces themselves, encompassing all kingdom and territorial factions, had no deities.
Once the Immortal Demon Kingdom deployed its deities, it would undoubtedly become a one-sided massacre for the allied forces.
Therefore, their only hope of winning this war lay with the worshipped deities behind them.
If the worshipped deities did not descend, they would be prepared to retreat at any moment!
"Alright! I will inquire again!"
Saying this, Shi Kedi took out the communication tool to contact the deities once more.
In truth, he harbored considerable resentment, but he could not voice such matters, much less condemn those worshipped deities.
After all, he was well aware of his own limitations. If he offended a worshipped deity, it would be bad enough if they withheld their aid, but what if they simply struck him dead? Where would he go to seek justice?
However, just as he was preparing to contact a certain worshipped deity, he suddenly felt a surge of divine power emanating from the sky.
Following this, wave after wave of divine might descended, making the surrounding ten thousand meters of space feel incredibly oppressive.
Subsequently, a thunderous voice echoed from the sky: "King of the Immortal Demon Kingdom, are you prepared to welcome death?"
This voice, like an exploding thunderclap, resounded throughout the sky and the earth.
Immediately afterward, figures exuding awe-inspiring auras began to manifest.
The immense pressure caused many weak beings on the ground to prostrate themselves, worshipping the sky.
"Hahaha... these worshipped deities have finally arrived! And it seems there are quite a few of them!"
"Exactly! This time, there will be no surprises! The final victory of this war belongs to our allied forces!"
"Hmph, hmph... the Immortal Demon Kingdom is doomed!"
The arrival of the worshipped deities sent all the soldiers of the allied army into a frenzy of joy.
At least, during the earlier battles, the allied forces had endured the brutal slaughter inflicted by the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army.
The battlefield was strewn with corpses, and they had even contemplated fleeing for their lives.
But now, with the advent of their own worshipped deities, the tide of the war was about to turn.
At this very moment, all eyes in the allied forces, from kingdom factions to territorial ones, were fixed on the divine figures in the sky.
The sheer number of these powerful beings left them utterly astonished.
There were more than a hundred deities in total, and the weakest among them were at the peak of the middle-grade divine tier.
However, this situation still left them with a sense of bewilderment.
Why would so many worshipped deities be dispatched to deal with a mere Immortal Demon Kingdom?
Could it be that the Immortal Demon Kingdom harbored some hidden secret?
Many people speculated, but more were eager for these worshipped deities to strike swiftly and shatter the capital of the Immortal Demon Kingdom and the defensive array that enveloped it.
This would allow the allied army to march into the Immortal Demon Kingdom's capital without hindrance.
Gazing at the hundred figures in the sky, a smile finally appeared on Xiao Mo's face.
While he was somewhat surprised by the arrival of so many worshipped deities, he was even more delighted.
After all, so many deities represented invaluable resources to him!
At this point, a worshipped beast god with the head of a pig and the body of a human descended, looking down at Xiao Mo with extreme arrogance.
"Are you the King of the Immortal Demon Kingdom? Since you've shown yourself, hurry up and surrender to your death, so we can end this war and go home to sleep!"
"Heh heh... you want to kill me? Do you, a pig's head, have the capability for that?"
Xiao Mo sneered as he looked at the pig-headed worshipped beast god and said, "Actually, I've been waiting for you all for a long time!"
"Not a single one left! Kill!"
As the word "Kill" was uttered, a black streak of light shot through the void, its speed so immense that even Xiao Mo found it difficult to track.
In the next instant, the black light struck the unprepared pig-headed beast god, shattering its divine body and causing its divine spark to crumble.
A worshipped beast god at the peak of the high-grade divine tier was thus instantly killed without a sound.
After the pig-head's demise, waves of terrifying divine pressure emanated from within the Immortal Demon Kingdom's capital, followed by figures soaring into the sky.
Then, nearly two hundred figures appeared above the capital, each exuding powerful divine might.
"How is this possible?!"
After a long moment, a lord from a territorial faction finally exclaimed in shock.
Indeed, how was this possible?
At the same time, this thought echoed in the minds of everyone in the allied forces.
That was nearly two hundred deities, not two hundred random individuals!
In just one month, could a territorial faction truly develop to such an extent?
As this question crossed their minds, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness surged through countless lords.
This must be why Lord Qian Mo had become the strongest lord; he had evidently stood at the pinnacle of this world long ago.
It was laughable that they had even attempted to conspire with the native forces to eliminate him.
Now, the scales of victory in this war seemed to be tipping in favor of the Immortal Demon Kingdom...
