In the city.

Some Grand Divine Cleric and High God-ranked individuals attempted to organize resistance.

However, facing giants of the same rank, their resistance was futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Instead, they became prime targets for hunting, and their blood was devoured.

The entire fortress instantly turned into a slaughterhouse of despair.

Screams, pleas, and the satisfying chewing sounds of the giants blended together, creating a hellish scene.

"Please! Spare my daughter!"

"Eat me! Eat me instead!"

A quasi-God General-ranked strongman of Blackstone Fortress was kneeling before an exceptionally tall giant, desperately banging his head on the ground.

Behind him, several young children huddled together, their eyes filled with despair.

It wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but the pressure exuded by the giant in front of him was too terrifying.

This giant was at the quasi-God King rank, but its combat strength far exceeded that of others of the same rank!

The giant was Balzer, and his eyes were filled with pure greed.

Without a hint of compassion for the plea, his massive hand descended, placing the strongman into his mouth, the horrible sound of chewing echoing.

His other hand casually swiped, scooping up the young children into his grasp.

With blood filling his mouth, he looked like a devil emerging from the abyss.

He glanced toward the direction the fleeing civilians were headed—the same area where the Crossbridge Empire army was advancing.

"Crossbridge Empire, the Eura continent truly promises to be a delicious feast."

Balzer let out a chilling laugh but did not immediately pursue them.

...

Black Edge City.

War Bear was organizing the next phase of the sweep.

A dark golden figure silently coalesced beside him—it was Golden Armor.

"Golden Armor? How is the situation in Sky Province?"

War Bear asked with some surprise, immediately inquiring.

Golden Armor's voice came through his faceplate.

"The siege continues. The enemy is relying on the empire's magic array for defense, and we need time to break it down."

"But there's been a new development in Noke Province."

"Are you talking about the Giant Demon Race?"

War Bear furrowed his brow.

He had already heard about the devastation caused by the giants.

Part of the reason they were stationed here was to prevent the giants from launching a flanking attack, which could interfere with the empire's strategy to destroy the Dawonru Empire.

Golden Armor nodded, his tone laced with coldness.

"They have devoured all the lives of over thirty towns."

"Now, refugees are fleeing toward our defensive line, and the vanguard of the Giant Demon Race is approaching us."

"Their intent is clear—Secondary Demon Realm!"

"You mean they plan to attack Secondary Demon Realm while our main force is besieging Sky Province, exploiting our rear vulnerability to threaten the Eura continent?"

Fury surged in War Bear's eyes.

"Yes," Golden Armor answered.

"Immediately report this intelligence to General Suggwoth and send it to the Celestial Sanctuary!"

War Bear responded decisively, then added his own orders.

"Before that, we need to pull some of our legions to build a defensive line and intercept them here!"

"We cannot let them disrupt the main battlefield."

"Once Dawonru is dealt with, we will return to crush these beasts!"

Buzz—!

The figure of a Void Warlock suddenly materialized.

War Bear and Golden Armor both turned to face him.

"Report, General!"

"The Giant Demon Race has crossed the Blue Sky Mountains and is attacking the defensive line we set up!"

"Looking for death!"

War Bear erupted with killing intent, taking a step forward.

Golden Armor's figure melted back into the shadows, vanishing from sight.

...

Eura Continent, Celestial Sanctuary.

Aurek's gaze swept across the system panel.

Cold numbers and information flowed across it.

[Eliminate a large number of enemy troops!]

[Gain Emperor Points: +6 Trillion]

[Losses of attribute warriors: 6.3 million]

His gaze lingered on the 6 trillion points, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

This amount was enough to raise the level of core summoned units to level 16!

...

Aurek looked at the levels of various attribute legions and decided to prioritize upgrading Titans.

The Titan's current level was 14, and upgrading to level 15 required 50 trillion Emperor Points.

Aurek continued to invest points.

[Titan's authority raised to level 17, able to summon 819,200 Titans daily.]

[Next upgrade requires: 1.6 trillion Emperor Points.]

[Unlocked skill: Meteor Fist]

[Note: Level 17 Titan combat power is comparable to True God rank 1.]

Upgrading from level 14 to level 17 consumed nearly 1 trillion Emperor Points.

Aurek still had vast Emperor Points left!

Enough to continue upgrading other summoned units.

Aurek then proceeded to upgrade the Void Warlock, Doomsday Warrior, and Elven Marksman units.

After all, the revelation of over 10 million God General-ranked Frostbound Warlocks would not only shake the Abyss Demon Realm.

It might even attract attention from Divine Empire-level forces in the Holy Kare Mountains, Yuli, Sablecliff, and other regions, drawing attention to the Crossbridge Empire.

Whether other forces or the Council of the Dark Order, they could become formidable enemies to the Crossbridge Empire.

At least before the empire had a Divine Oracle or even stronger rank experts in position, these were all threats.

Furthermore, it seemed that the God Realm had already found a passage to this plane!

Once the passage stabilizes, the empire will face threats from other Divine Empire-level forces, and the pressure will inevitably increase.

Aurek could not predict when the Olympian God Mountain would arrive, but upgrading levels and cultivating strong attribute legions in advance was certainly the right choice!

Always stay battle-ready. With billions of God General-ranked and True God-ranked legions, even if powerful enemies attack, the enemy will have to seriously consider whether they can withstand such large-scale destruction.

[Void Warlock's authority raised to level 16, able to summon 409,600 Void Warlocks daily.]

[Next upgrade requires: 80 trillion Emperor Points.]

[Note: Level 16 Void Warlock combat power is comparable to God General rank 1.]

...

[Doomsday Warrior's authority raised to level 16, able to summon 409,600 level 16 Doomsday Warriors daily.]

[Next upgrade requires: 80 trillion Emperor Points.]

[Unlocked skill: Eternal Annihilation.]

[Note: Level 16 Doomsday Warrior combat power is comparable to God General rank 1.]

...

[Elven Marksman's authority raised to level 16, able to summon 409,600 Elven Marksmen daily.]

[Next upgrade requires: 85 trillion Emperor Points.]

[Note: Level 16 Elven Marksman combat power is comparable to God General rank 1.]

...

[Mountain Shieldbearer's authority raised to level 16, able to summon 409,600 Mountain Shieldbearers daily.]

[Next upgrade requires: 86 trillion Emperor Points.]

[Note: Level 16 Mountain Shieldbearer combat power is comparable to God General rank 1.]

...

[Elemental Assassin's authority raised to level 16, able to summon 409,600 Elemental Assassins daily.]

[Next upgrade requires: 80 trillion Emperor Points.]

[Note: Level 16 Elemental Assassin combat power is comparable to God General rank 1.]

...

Except for the Life Sorcerer, Aurek upgraded all other summoned units to level 16.

Despite the astronomical cost in Emperor Points, even measured in trillions,

This meant that over 3.3 million units of God General rank or above could be summoned daily!

This was truly unbelievable!

Even Aurek felt as if he was dreaming.

[Emperor's Scepter energy is full. Begin cultivating attribute legions?]

Aurek did not hesitate and made his choice.

"Begin cultivating all attribute legions!"

[Ding! Acquired special hero unit!]

[Special hero unit: Undying War God]

[Level: 18]

[Skills: War Soul Prelude, Oathbreaker's Great Axe, Immortal Body]

[Note: Upgrade speed is ten times faster than regular attribute legions, with enhancements in Destruction, Titan, Mountain Shieldbearer, and Life attribute by twenty times, and possesses Immortal Body and other traits.]

[Note: Level 18 Undying War God's combat strength is comparable to God King rank 9.]
