Chapter 1267 Defeat On Both Side.
Then again, it is not an invasion. After all, the base is part of the Mechanical Emperor's body. But the flame didn't go forward to help Legion-5. It stopped. Then it retreated back into one of the walls of the base.
The Mechanical Emperor didn't help because he didn't need to. The clump of light within Legion-5 crashed into the inner world successfully.
The Celestial of Light had said, "Success will be mine. I shall rise to..."
Then the clump of light was devoured. The Celestial didn't even know what happened. The only thing he could tell was that his divinity disappeared as soon as it entered the inner world. He didn't see what did it.
Legion-5's body stopped spinning immediately. His consciousness relaxed too and the fluctuations of divine power disappeared. A useless staff fell out of his body to the ground.
Legion-7 said, "What did I tell you? Your body is perfect for possession."
Legion-5 grinned. "It truly is."
"We succeeded. This means that you can assimilate the godhood of a great god without becoming a great god."
Legion-5 said to the Tree Father, "You heard that? Now make me a demigod. Make it the best demigod you can."
Legion-7 also egged the Tree Father on, "Put in the effort you would if you were going to love the demigod with all your heart."
The once glorious army of justice and light retreated with their tails between their legs. 250 million soldiers were reduced to less than 100 million after weeks of fighting.
The army scattered in defeat before they reached the Shadow Of Despair's base. This happened after his divinity was devoured. So not only did the Celestial fail to possess Legion-5, but he also failed to pressure Legion-5 with his army.
Legion-5 didn't even participate in the war. Apparently, he was so powerful that he didn't have to do anything to put the Celestial of Light and Justice at a dead end.
Then the peace of the plane returned for another month. The plane was still reeling from the impact of the short war when something inconceivable happened.
------
In The Divine Plane.
A great god was relaxing in his divine plane when he felt a sudden spike in the amount of prayers to him.
"What is going on?" he asked in surprise.
There have been a lot of prayers recently ever since the grand war started. The prayers remained high even after the war ended. There was no more fighting but the repercussions of the fighting had begun to catch up to the people.
Food had become scarce and prices of goods and services had risen. People couldn't afford the things that they used to be able to. Many people became hungry. They needed money so they prayed to their god. It caused faith to rise in the plane.
But this spike in faith is different. The sudden spike in prayers of the faithful is strange. Something like this only happens during a plane-wide religious event or festival. Most of his believers will pray to him then. Faith will surge from their souls to him along with their expectations. But the spike of faith won't be this high because most of his believers are shallow believers.
