Chapter 189: Liberation of Infir [Double Chapter]

Is it dawn already? Suddenly, the light bursting forth between heaven and earth startled Ben Keming and countless Strike and Raise Movement militants.

They stared around in a daze.

Just a moment ago, the world was still shrouded in darkness. Black clouds rolled in the sky, lightning storms raged, and thunder roared.

In the next moment, the sky was washed clean, clear, and bright, with no trace of the terrifying thunderstorm, and there was no shadow of despair in people’s hearts.

An indescribable shock surged from the crowd’s chests along their spines and hit their brains, shaking their very souls!

Ben Keming suddenly turned to look at Mr. Akide approaching.

Under everyone’s eyes, Mr. Akide wore a khaki work uniform. It was rough, simple, and unpretentious.

There was no hint of blood or power about him. He appeared just like the most ordinary worker.

Wherever he walked, the crowd naturally parted to make a path, each looking at him in disbelief.

This was the kind of inspiration that could save a ship on the brink of sinking, a collapsing building.

It was also the shock of heaven and earth transforming after a calm declaration, bursting with light.

Countless Strike and Raise Movement members shouted loudly in their hearts—Mr. Akide has always been with us, not just in thought!

Standing on the balcony of the second floor of the palace, the Emperor of the Infir Empire, Yarvis, watched the man approaching slowly, his pupils shrank, lips trembled, and his brain virtually blank!

One thought echoed in his mind.

—Akide actually exists!

As a royal member closely related to the Church of the Four Primordial Gods, he had never met a god but could perceive divine power from missionaries.

The power Akide displayed was completely beyond his imagination.

Besides a god, he couldn’t imagine anyone possessing such incredible power! Just then, a voice suddenly exploded in the sky, confirming his guess and drawing the world’s attention.

“Is it you? Internet God?”

“Get lost! This is not your world!”

The angry shout echoed over the Infir capital, shaking countless lives!

Countless people looked up, and saw under the broad daylight sky, four indistinct figures had appeared, not distinguishable as male or female.

One had a black cloud rolling above their head, thunder roaring like the end of the world.

One figure was illusory; appearing human at a glance, non-existent upon closer inspection, like a dream, very uncomfortable to gaze at.

One was completely enveloped in bubbles, which were pure and ethereal.

One had flames jetting from their feet, the roaring of a steam engine inside them deafening.

The descent of the gods!

The rare appearance of the Four Primordial Gods, as recorded in the sacred texts, descending to the human world! This scene left countless people in Infir’s capital shocked and silent.

Yu Sheng’an ignored the figures in the sky, walked at an unhurried pace to Ben Keming’s side, patted him on the shoulder: “Continue to lead the team to victory! As for the Four Primordial Gods, who are content to soak up the faith of the people while allowing them to suffer in misery, leave them to me!”

These words were not only addressed to Ben Keming but also to the members of the Strike and Raise Movement.

His calm and confident voice, transmitted through the Divine Spark of Music, inspired everyone recreating the world, encouraged their hearts, and boosted their morale!

After speaking, Yu Sheng’an’s feet left the ground, rising straight into the sky.

His height quickly matched Emperor Yarvis’.

He saw Emperor Yarvis recoil in fear, even bumping into the queen and guards.

However, the guards and queen were in a worse state, turning to flee, not knowing where they could go.

Yu Sheng’an swept a calm gaze over them without pausing, quickly ascending. An invisible infrasound wave was sent into the palace, completely disabling the armed personnel hidden inside.

Yu Sheng’an flew higher and higher, finally reaching the same level as the Four Primordial Gods.

Suddenly, a mysterious wave swept across the sky.

The gods vanished! Only the premature dawn continued to illuminate the earth.

Ben Keming looked up, dumbfounded by the scene, as he was filled with great shock and endless doubts.

But this was not the time to question or think.

He didn’t know whether Akide could withstand the Four Primordial Gods, or whether they would spare them if Akide failed.

But he realized this brief respite was his last chance to kill the Infir royal family and overthrow the feudal rule! As long as the royals were killed, Infir Empire would certainly be liberated! Akide’s thought had long clarified this.

He believed it without a doubt! “Brothers, the banner of Akide leads us to victory, join me in killing the royals, liberating Infir, and freeing our homeland!”

Ben Keming roared to the sky!

At this moment, even though the steam engine inside him stopped roaring, it couldn’t stop his advance! “Boom!”

He burned his blood like mad, flames jetting from his feet, propelling his body into the air towards the second-floor balcony.

The previously arrogant Emperor Yarvis turned and ran in fright!

So incompetent, he was even worse than a street thug.

Ben Keming hesitated not for a moment, nor felt any sentiment; he didn’t want to waste time, his legs moved like wheels, the steel blade in his arm popped out, fiercely thrusting at Emperor Yarvis.

“Akide’s thought shines upon us!”

“For my family, for my homeland, for my descendants!”

“Charge!”

Strike and Raise Movement members cried out again!

Even divine miracles couldn’t stop their fervor for liberating their homeland!

They had enough of despair.

As long as fate was in their hands, they would fight to the death! Lowell watched as his comrades frantically rushed into the palace, he suddenly turned, picked up a fallen flag, held it in his mouth, and started climbing the palace walls madly.

Passing by a window, he saw his brothers cutting down all enemies in their way like they were slicing vegetables! Mr. Akide was right, all enemies were paper tigers!

Lowell climbed with excitement, his speed even lagging behind his comrades charging into the building.

But the more he couldn’t catch up, the more excited Lowell became.

His body was filled with power, climbing like a gecko, the palace’s carvings becoming his best leverage!

Finally, he climbed to the rooftop, above the emperor’s head! He took a deep breath of the air of the imperial city and surveyed the surroundings.

The world was brilliantly bright, but the sun was nowhere to be seen.

But, it didn’t matter!

Akide was always like the sun, shining upon them, leading them forward.

Lowell raised the flag, waving it madly.

Grinning, bathed in the light, blueberry jam still between his teeth, glowing brilliantly blue! ……

……

In the sky, five figures stood suspended.

Four Primordial Gods of the Velia Main Plane looked with suspicion and dread at the Internet God.

They hadn’t expected the Internet God to really come from the Velia Main Plane! Yet, it turned out he wasn’t any of their Four Primordial Gods.

If he hadn’t actively used his Divine Spark power, eradicating the Red Archbishop stationed in the capital of Infir, they might not have known of his presence even if the Internet God had come to fully control Infir.

At this moment, the Four Primordial Gods didn’t know whether to be angry at the Red Archbishop for interfering in the earthly royal succession;

or to be thankful he acted and exposed the Internet God.

Otherwise, once the Infir Empire completely fell into the hands of the Internet God, they might remain unaware.

Going deeper.

If the Internet God continued hiding in the shadows, manipulating the Infir Empire, aiming at the Velia Main Plane, once he fully controlled worldly power,

the Velia Main Plane might very well change hands overnight right under their noses! Such dreadful cunning!

Without moving a single soldier, merely spreading some ideas, he could stir up endless power to overthrow a massive dynasty! The method is truly shocking! Even more so, mentioning his power in the multiverse.

For a moment, despite the imposing presence of the Four Primordial Gods, as they surrounded the Internet God, they fell into silence.

They didn’t know how to handle the matter. Fight?

The Internet God is a peer to the Five Prime Gods. His power must be exceptional to earn their recognition! In fact, his interventions in the Kewell Empire twice showcased his formidable combat strength!

If a real fight broke out, they might not necessarily emerge victorious.

Otherwise, they would have long since charged out of the Velia Main Plane and divided the multiverse.

Why would they have isolated themselves, enjoying their own little world?

Even if they defeated the Internet God before them, what of it? It’s just a Divine Projection.

Killing him would only waste Source Essence and expose their abilities, absolutely more harm than good!

The greatest power of a nuclear weapon is while it’s still in the launcher.

The same saying applies to a great extent to many weaker deities.

The unknown is the greatest deterrence to the enemy.

But if they didn’t fight, would they just let him swallow the Infir Empire? Cut a slice off their cake? As the Four Primordial Gods hesitated, Yu Sheng’an spoke up.

“I don’t know how you’ve hidden Velia from the gods’ sight, or if it’s inherent to the Velia Main Plane itself? I’m not interested! However, I have a proposal that could solve our current dilemma. Would you like to hear it?”

“Oh?” The God of Mechanical Steam wore a wary look.

“You don’t want the Velia Main Plane exposed, and neither do I. Thus, I never sent the multiverse forces to intervene. In that case, let’s each bind one hand, using the earthly kingdom as our chessboard, the dynasty as the pieces, and the plane as our wager, and play a round.”

Yu Sheng’an proposed.

“How do you bind one hand each?” The God of Mechanical Steam squinted.

“Apart from resources, I won’t dispatch multiverse forces to prevent exposure of Velia. You, including me, are also not allowed to descend on the battlefield as gods. How about that?”

Yu Sheng’an wore an expression of ‘It’s for both our good.’

“Hmph, taking words out of context! Obviously, you want to monopolize the Velia Main Plane, afraid to use multiverse forces, yet acting as if it’s for us, taking advantage while pretending virtuous!”

The goddess of the night, with her figure seeming both real and illusory, mercilessly exposed Yu Sheng’an’s lie.

Yu Sheng’an wasn’t embarrassed. He spread his hands, saying:

“You’re right. I do want to monopolize the Velia Main Plane. If you don’t agree, then I’ll have to discuss with the Five Prime Gods how to divide it up.”

Threat!

It was an open threat! The Four Primordial Gods were so furious they could explode!

“Fine then, go discuss it! The Velia Main Plane is no Azaea! Apart from the ocean, there is no magic here. Any army that rushes in would weaken, their strength reduced to a tenth. By then, no one will be a match for our steel giant ships!”

The God of Space looked proudly.

The Goddess of Night concealed their plane, The God of Space purified the air, The God of Mechanical Steam developed their military prowess, and the Lord of Storms suppressed monsters.

These are the fundamental reasons for the Four Primordial Gods forming an unbreakable alliance.

They constructed their unique fortress with a very ingenious design.

They were reluctant to expose the Velia Main Plane, but if it came to that, they were unafraid!

Even the mightiest army coming in would find themselves powerless against a completely non-magical environment, losing nine-tenths of their combat power in an instant.

Of the Five Gods, the only one posing a threat is the Sea God.

But even if the Sea God charged in, the first enemy faced isn’t the Four Primordial Gods or humans but the terrible monsters spawned after magic was infused into the ocean.

Who knows how long it would take to kill all the monsters! Most importantly, would the Lord of Storms sit idly by and let him develop? In short, the Velia Main Plane is a plane painstakingly managed by the Four Primordial Gods for thousands of years. It’s not invincible, but definitely not easy to conquer.

“Fine! Then I’ll disclose the coordinates and incite chaos.” Yu Sheng’an grinned, showing white teeth.

“You won’t gain anything either!” The Lord of Storms roared in rage.

“Isn’t that better than not getting a piece at all?” Yu Sheng’an spread both hands.

With those words, the Four Primordial Gods, hovering in mid-air, lapsed into silence. Their Divine Projections gathered on a small island, engaging in fervent discussion.

Yu Sheng’an naturally guessed that the Four Primordial Gods were having a private conversation.

He wasn’t anxious, calmly waiting for their decision, knowing that the Infir situation was developing in his favor.

“Binding one hand each is acceptable, but some details need further discussion!”

After a long while, the God of Mechanical Steam spoke.

“No problem.”

Yu Sheng’an nodded, not surprised by their choice.

The special environment of the Velia Main Plane indeed caused the gods’ troops to lose most of their combat power, but this also played right into the hands of many weaker gods.

To be honest, it’s a small plane allowing gods to come and go freely.

The gods wouldn’t find it convenient to send armies for invasion, but they could easily spread faith, converting the local natives.

With the power of the gods, if they can’t persuade a nation, surely they can convince a city, or even a village?

Facing the gods of the multiverse’s encroachment,

the Velia Plane could very well become the second Azaea Continent.

Only with the Four Primordial Gods holding the dominant position.

However, even so, this might be hard for the Four Primordial Gods to accept.

After all, Velia used to be theirs.

In fact, even if they accepted Yu Sheng’an’s proposal, it wouldn’t change the overall situation.

If Yu Sheng’an was pressed too hard, in a fit of anger, he might still announce the coordinates to the universe.

Then why agree on Yu Sheng’an’s proposal?

Naturally, it’s a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.

By agreeing to the Internet God, it buys them time to prepare; moreover, they might maintain a standoff, entering an era of Five Primordial Gods in Velia from the age of Four! At its core, it’s about delaying time.

Time can change everything.

What if they discover new divine spark abilities?

What if their teams searching unknown planes find a new plane? Weighing the pros and cons, the Four Primordial Gods’ choice wasn’t surprising.

For Yu Sheng’an, he also wanted to buy time!

If he could completely integrate the Infir Empire, using the multiverse as a material supply base, with the Kewell Godly Kingdom’s industrial base, and his Fourth Calamity swarm tactics, a blitzkrieg to monopolize the Velia Main Plane isn’t impossible!

By then, the Four Primordial Gods might use the coordinates to scare him instead!

Hehe, truly looking forward to that day!
