Chapter 832: Giant Serpent Bloodline
Nicholson did not bring his legion stationed in Arbitor World when he set off in pursuit of Wild Gorilla God.
With a massive number of Wild Gorillas in this world, the departure of their Rank Six powerhouse did not signify the end of the conflict on this plane.
While battles between Rank Four and above creatures were awe-inspiring and breathtaking to lesser lifeforms, the true bloodshed and cruelty of interplanar war were most vividly displayed in the clashes between the vast armies of low-ranking creatures.
“I’ll leave this family legion of mine here. Just hold on for a while longer, reinforcements from the Magus World should be arriving soon,” Nicholson informed a Rank Four Kermoine Serpent Warlock named Harry before leaving.
For Nicholson, supporting Arbitor World had been purely coincidental.
None of the other Rank Four or higher Black Viperfish Serpent Warlocks from his clan were present.
Although Wild Gorilla God had left, the two other Rank Four Gorilla Gods stationed on Arbitor World remained.
Unlike their leader, these two Rank Four Gorilla Gods were far more cautious.@@@@
They were well aware that the war in Sandstorm World was about to escalate to new heights, potentially becoming a chaotic clash of Rank Six powerhouses.
Whether these two Gorilla Gods would muster the courage to head to Sandstorm World remained uncertain.
For now, abandoning the millions of elite Wild Gorilla soldiers stationed in Arbitor World seemed unthinkable.
These purebred Wild Gorilla soldiers were not just soldiers—they were devout followers.
In the vast majority of planar civilizations that embraced the path of faith and godhood, the relationship between Rank Four or higher gods and their believers was not a strict master-servant dynamic.
Instead, these gods provided significant contributions and aid to their people, earning their worship and devotion.
It was a reciprocal relationship, with the strength and purity of the believers’ faith directly influencing the gods’ divine power and abilities.
This mutual dependency formed a system of fairness and reciprocity, and no true Astral Realm god would abandon their followers without a good reason.
Nicholson left Harry, the severely injured Rank Four Kermoine Serpent Warlock, to contend with two powerful Gorilla God opponents and the vast Wild Gorilla legion stationed here.
It was fortunate that Nicholson had not taken the warlock legion under his command when he left Arbitor World.
Had he done so, Harry might have seriously considered abandoning the Arbitor World altogether.
Of course, this was likely also influenced by the cold-blooded, reclusive, and xenophobic nature of serpent-like creatures.
These warlocks not only inherited the immense innate strength of their respective bloodlines but also the inherent flaws and limitations that came with them.
This was the same for Sein who had inherited the Flame Devil bloodline.
Absolute advantage or unearned power did not exist in the Astral Realm.
The successive departures of the two Rank Six powerhouses caused a brief lull in Arbitor World, but it was not long before large-scale skirmishes erupted once again.
There were still millions of Wild Gorilla soldiers and two Rank Four Gorilla Gods on the battlefield.
On the Magus World side, two Bloodline Warlock legions and the Rank Four Kermoine Serpent Warlock named Harry remained.
As long as Harry could still hold on for a bit longer, reinforcements from Magus World would arrive soon.
Both sides had reasons to continue the fight, and the intensity of the war barely diminished despite the absence of the two Rank Six powerhouses.
***
Far beyond Arbitor World and Sandstorm World, deep within the Wild Star Domain, the scene was eerily quiet.
This desolate region was peppered with empty asteroid belts and broken planes devoid of development value.
Across the vast expanse of the starry sky—variously known as the Astral Realm, the Void, or simply the universe, depending on the civilization—more than ninety-nine percent of its immensity was filled with this cold, lifeless silence.
Truly complete planes governed by an established set of laws, or even resource-rich demiplanes worth exploiting, were exceedingly rare.
On an otherwise unremarkable black asteroid with a diameter of a hundred meters, a cubic metal frame, standing about 1.5 meters tall, stood motionless.
The faint cosmic light reflected off its silver surface.
To call it merely a metal frame would be inaccurate—it was, in fact, a robot. Two circular lenses at its top, resembling eyes, glowed faintly.
“Our jamming light waves are failing. The Magus World Army has detected the battles in those planes and is sending reinforcements. Notify all intelligent robots to retreat. Ensure they leave no traces for the Magus Civilization to find. Then again, based on our calculations, they have likely known about our interference in this war long ago.”
The cold, emotionless commands were transmitted via a specialized wave frequency, reaching every hidden metal device lurking in the Wild Star Domain.
