Chapter 4469 - Defection!

The forces of Aquamarine and Torch Dragon spread across the void like countless stars, every tiny point of light a cosmic god!

This vast battlefield was divided into three regions.

The activated Vermilion Bird Starcage stood centre, resembling a blazing firebird with its flames flaring aggressively.

On one side, the cosmic gods of Torch Dragon were like innumerable flaming dragons, forming a curtain of fire that seemed ready to incinerate the sky itself.

On the other side, Aquamarine’s army advanced like tidal waves, a vast sea that threatened to drown even the flaming Vermilion Bird.

“Each of them is fielding more than ten billion soldiers. This is a full-scale mobilization,” Sage Chen surveyed the situation.

“At a time like this, it would be a guaranteed success if someone could sneak attack their home bases,” Sage Xing sighed. “Unfortunately, we and the sky plunderers are stretched too thin.”

Given all this, to Sage Chen, Sage Xing, and the others, the situation was nearly unsolvable. Even so, none of them harbored any thought of retreat.

“Our army holds an overwhelming advantage against either Aquamarine or Torch Dragon alone,” Sage Chen said icily. “Numerically, we exceed each by about thirty percent.”

Sage Xing glanced at the sky filled with cosmic gods and added, “But with Torch Dragon and Aquamarine combined, their total forces exceed ours by fifty percent!”

Furthermore, Imperator Zhu and Imperator Lan were personally leading their forces.

Imperator Zhu, clad in a flaming dragon robe, fire dragons coiling around him and flames blazing in his eyes, looked down and declared coldly, “The vermilion bird divinities are accessories to that sky plunderer scoundrel’s crime of murdering the imperial sons of our three races, and ignited this war. By the Adjudicator’s decree, you will be annihilated!”

As his words fell, the Torch Dragon army behind him erupted into thunderous cheers!

Just then, Imperator Cheng soared into the air, standing in the dome of heaven as he unleashed flames stretching tens of thousands of meters!

His eyes burned with the image of soaring vermilion birds as he stared at the sea of enemies and Imperator Zhu at their head, replying coldly, “Running dogs of the Adjudicator, your skill at twisting black into white has certainly improved. All races coexist in the Realm of Chaos. Conflicts and grudges are natural, but they have never escalated into wars between starcages!

“Yet after the Adjudicator arrived, he interfered in our internal affairs and deliberately incited a war between starcages. This is the true root of this war! Does the Adjudicator think to dominate our Chaos denizen and turn this world into his private zoo?

“If that is the case, then my vermilion bird divinities will never accept it. We will resist to the end!”

His words directly pointed at the Adjudicator as the source of everything, igniting the emotions of his Vermilion Bird cosmic gods.

Who would willingly become livestock?

Who would willingly be herded and caged?

When faced with fate and overwhelming power, the vast majority of those capable of fighting would struggle to the very end!

As long as they could fight, they would never bow their heads!

“Running dogs of the sky plunderers, even now you refuse to repent! It seems you need a dose of reality!” Imperator Lan of the Aquamarine Starcage stepped forward, clad in a deep-blue robe. Every movement stirred towering waves, and countless deep-sea vortices roared within his eyes!

“The vermilion bird divinities' crimes are unforgivable. Aquamars, charge into the Vermilion Bird Starcage! Execute any stubborn fools who resist! For Aquamarine, for the fallen, for glory!”

“Slaughter all enemies!”

“Slaughter all enemies!”

Aquamarine’s cosmic gods went mad, pouring forward like furious ocean waves crashing straight into the Vermilion Bird Starcage!

The Vermilion Bird Starsource activated, sending countless tongues of flame toward the invaders!

Although the Realm of Chaos lacked order and astralguard formations, starsources were still able to suppress invaders and act as a defence no lesser than an astralguard formation.

“Charge!” Imperator Cheng led his men into battle. Jiang Qingluan, Sage Chen, and Sage Xing all plunged into the enemy ranks as well.

Facing the invasion of more than twenty billion troops, Vermilion Bird’s armies erupted with astonishing power for this was their homeland of generations!

Although outnumbered, the starsource gave them a fighting chance.

The clash had just begun when betrayal struck near the capital.

It was Prince Liehun. In recent days, he had roamed Vermilion Bird, swaying others. He had secured not only noble supporters, but also small-unit leaders from various regions, most of them his direct followers and clansmen!

The moment war broke out, he openly betrayed the clan!

“Survival is the natural priority of all living things! Only those who recognize the times are true heroes who can preserve the vermilion bird divinities' last spark!” Prince Liehun finally revealed himself, transforming into a colossal bird that projected his voice across the entire starcage.

“Admit your mistakes and turn back while you still can! In the not-too-distant future, the vermilion bird divinities will consist of only us. We will be the clan’s final hope!”

All at once, nearly one-tenth of the vermilion bird divinities chose to defect alongside Prince Liehun! Although most were his own followers and clansmen, that proportion made the situation far worse.

After all, these traitors would not be attacked by the Vermilion Bird Starsource.

“To call betrayal ‘hope,’ this is the most shameless thing I’ve ever seen in my life!” Watching the chaos, Jiang Qingluan trembled with rage, tears streaming down her face.
