Chapter 450
The battleship carried the Celestial troops to the Desolate territory at the mouth of the Eastern River. The ground was still wet from the recent flood, with Desolate corpses scattered all over the place.
Even warriors with totems couldn't fight against this natural disaster. When the flood came crashing down, the overwhelming impact killed the majority of the Desolate, only a small number of Desolate with unique totems managed to survive.
The Eastern River mouth was originally just a decoy, the military forces sent here were all just for show. Although there was a Grand Priest here to hold the line, against the Celestials of their entire race, they couldn't resist at all.
Killer J was wearing a bandaged outfit, holding a head full of shock in his hand. They were the Great Shamans who were sent here to hold the line. After these Great Shamans had fused their own totems with their own bodies, they had gained considerable combat prowess.
Due to the racial flaws of the Celestials, it was extremely difficult for them to release their [Origin]. Although the Celestials could draw totems on their own, allowing their totems to surpass their limits and become stronger than the Desolate, they couldn't fuse their internal and external forms. In other words, the Celestials lacked a Grand Priest, and technological devices couldn't make up for their high-end combat power, which was why the Celestials lacked a Grand Priest.
In many small skirmishes, the Celestials' technological civilization had always surpassed the Desolate and could easily suppress them, but it was always the Grand Priests or those close to the Grand Priests who came to the rescue that allowed them to interact with the Celestials.
Of course, there was also the Protagonist Meng Lo. Although this guy had been stripped of a small portion of his [Protagonist Aura] by Negri and Killer J through The Unreachable Gate, his luck had also been moving towards Yun Yi's direction, but the main part of the [Protagonist Aura] was still on him. Unless Negri or Noah were to scheme against him, he would always win every battle he participated in.
Of course, it wasn't that the Celestials didn't have any high-end combat power as well. Noah, Killer J, and Lanshan were all slowly building their own paths. They were stronger than the Grand Priest, but for the sake of training the Celestials, they normally wouldn't participate in battle, as Killer J would only be more of a hindrance than a hindrance.
Other than them, there were also a few people from the Impure Hermit Order. However, they were still outsiders who used the [Origin] transmigration technique to come to this world and made a pact with the will of the world, so under normal circumstances, they wouldn't interfere in this battle, otherwise, it would easily backfire on them.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the High Priests of the Desolate Man could be proud and respected. They were idolized by the warriors of the Desolate Man. They could also calmly display the two-in-one Panoramic Totem to defeat most of the Celestial Beings, and then criticize the technology of the Celestial Beings as something that relied on external things.
However, as soon as Noah uttered his Divine Word, the Grand Priest still tried his best to save the Eastern River estuary and resist the waters of the Eastern River. As a result, Killer J, who was hiding in the shadows, stabbed one of his blades of killing intent into the Grand Priest's head, while the other severed his neck.
Although Killer J was unreliable, loved to court death, and loved to cause trouble, one mustn't forget that he was still a hitman, capable of delivering a fatal strike whenever the opportunity presented itself. With his strength surpassing that of this Great Shaman, the other party wouldn't even have the chance to struggle.
"If I, Killer J, don't show my prowess, you really think I'm Hello World.
Kitty?” While digging his nose with his pinky finger, Killer J casually tossed the head in his hand to the side. This so-called Grand Priest had been fooled by the title of 'strongest', truly believing himself to be the strongest, and actually tried to resist Noah's Divine Word.
Although they didn't want to admit it, Noah was the one who had walked the furthest among the three of them, the one who was closest to Negri. The term 'Righteous' wasn't just for show, if this guy tried to resist the Divine Word, Killer J would have been able to take advantage of that opportunity, otherwise, this guy would still have had a chance to struggle.
As Noah walked forward, his power began to take effect, causing everything around him to change according to his will.
As the bearer of Negri's Path, as long as it was something Negri controlled, he could manipulate it at will. His will was the will of God, his words were the laws of God, and he himself was one with God.
As he obtained the World Tree, Noah's understanding of his own Path had also become clearer. Once Negri raised his Divine Throne and manifested his Path, he would probably be able to quickly manifest his own Path as well.
Under Noah's will, the terrain of the Dong River estuary began to change. The Dong River began to sink, turning this part of the estuary into an underground river, revealing flat land, allowing the Celestial forces to quickly move in. Various robots were frantically working to quickly transform this area into a logistical supply base.
"Then, let us launch an all-out attack! Let the Desolate witness the might of a higher civilization "
In small-scale conflicts, the strength of an individual was indeed more important than anything else. It was a fact that a small portion of the Desolate were stronger than the Celestial Beings, but among the middle and lower ranks, the Celestial Beings far surpassed the Desolate.
Following Noah's orders, a large number of Celestial Beings were mobilized, a large number of weapons of war were moving across the ground, fighter aircrafts began to take off, carrying guided missiles as they headed towards the Desolate's territory.
On the ground, armored vehicles and wriggling snake-shaped mecha followed the fighter aircrafts into the distance. Technology was replicable, so one of its strengths was that it could be mass-produced as long as there were enough resources.
In the Desolate's territory, the inferior Desolate, who were not suited for combat, were collecting supplies and doing logistical work. To the warriors, these people were an inferior race that was even worse than the Celestial Beings. If they could not even do logistical work well, they would become slaves and be slaughtered at will.
The warriors did not need to produce, nor did they need to care about living supplies. They only needed to hone their combat abilities.
The gap between the classes was frighteningly large. The inferior Desolate racked their brains to become warriors, but there were more people waiting for resources than those who produced them. The more people exploited the fewer people.
It could be said that the Desolate developed rapidly under the control of the consciousness of the Desolate, but there was also a certain degree of abnormality. If it was not for the special circumstances of the war, under the authority of the consciousness of the Desolate, a large number of resources maintained the consumption of the Desolate warriors, the social structure of the Desolate was bound to usher in an internal revolution.
When the whistling sound appeared, the inferior Desolate who were working hard to produce did not even dare to lift their heads. As the authority was taken away by Negri, the resources in the Desolate's territory gradually returned to normal. If the inferior Desolate did not work hard to produce, then many of the warriors would not be able to eat.
At least the inferior Desolate had some human rights, but the slaves had no human rights at all. They were forced to produce by threatening their lives.
It could be predicted that even if the Desolate won this war, the level of their civilization would regress, and there would be internal riots, because many of the warriors who now had privileges would have to go farming in the future.
If they won the war, their rights would not increase, but decrease, and conflicts would definitely break out.
Of course, they had to win first, but from the current results, it was more likely that they would win.
