318: Win

"Surrender, you cannot win."

The strongest Ancient God spoke first, his voice a blend of multiple tones, as if many gods were speaking.

"What a joke, are you brainless? You actually tried to persuade our War God Clan to surrender."

Opposite the Ancient God, a slightly weaker Ancient War Gods spoke.

The War God Clan never surrenders; this is their glory.

In other matters, they are selfish and have their own desires, but in battle, they are united and cooperate wholeheartedly.

"Hmph, no matter what you think, I've said my piece. Those who surrender will not be killed." The massive Ancient God snorted coldly, though he was merely trying.

Or rather, to disrupt the enemy's morale.

If it were Ancient War Gods formed purely by the War God Clan, he wouldn't do this, but the War God Clan still had many affiliated races within their formation.

As expected, the Ancient War Gods' aura weakened slightly.

The War God Clan members were secretly annoyed; these affiliated races were indeed unreliable.

They had originally wanted to organize the affiliated races into a single team, but that would have been even more unreliable; without the War God Clan leading them, they couldn't even form a battle array.

"The God Race is very insidious; we cannot say more." The War God Clan recalled their elders' warnings.

So they said no more.

On the battlefield, the situation quickly changed, starting with the Ancient War Gods who were being besieged.

This Ancient War Gods was not lucky; he was besieged by three Ancient God.

However, after a few days of being besieged, his aura plummeted to its lowest point.

He could still hold on because of the War God Clan's talent for growing stronger the more they fought; although his aura dropped, his combat power actually increased.

"All of you will die; don't even think about living." The Ancient War Gods suddenly ignited, throwing out an earth-shattering blood-red spear like an explosive burst of power.

The targeted Ancient God's expression was solemn (summoned creatures formed by formations change according to the state of the people within the formation); an abstruse seal appeared before him, blocking the long spear.

But even though the spear was blocked, it did not lose momentum; instead, it became even more vicious, erupting with a bloody light that pierced through the Ancient God.

Hundreds of God Race members who formed the array perished.

"Seeking death."

The other two Ancient God were enraged, simultaneously extending their long staffs and quickly destroying the Ancient War Gods, causing the War God Clan members who formed the Ancient War Gods to perish one after another.

A few survivors panicked and fled in all directions.

The three Ancient God ignored the remaining survivors and jointly attacked the other Ancient War Gods.

"Not good."

All the Ancient War Gods felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

Meanwhile, the Ancient God were extremely excited, as if they had been injected with a stimulant, growing stronger with each strike.

Formation constructs are the unified manifestation of all those who build the formation.

Therefore, morale is very important; the will of each person converging can significantly increase the strength of the formation.

"Continue the attack."

The Commander within the Ancient God said.

To construct a formation, besides those skilled in runes, there must also be a Commander to integrate the power.

Every formation is a comprehensive strength of a collective.

This was still the case when this group of favored ones did not cooperate well.

If it were the trump card legions of each race, with the same formation and the same average strength, they could display strength far exceeding that of a ragtag army; let alone fighting two, what about fighting ten?

They fought for several more days.

"No, we can't hold on."

The War God Clan panicked.

They had been waiting for news from within the spatial pocket.

If Lin Ye was hunted down, everything would be fine, but they had been fighting for almost six days now, and Lin Ye still hadn't been killed.

And their formation was starting to falter.

"No, we can't continue to fight the God Race, or our core forces will be wiped out." The strongest Ancient War Gods's phantom thought to himself.

Within his body, the thousand War God Clan members who constituted him discussed for a long time before reaching this conclusion.

"Retreat." The Ancient War Gods shouted.

All the Ancient War Gods retreated one after another.

"Pursue."

All the Ancient God, as if injected with a stimulant, surged in momentum, unleashing various attacks on the Ancient War Gods as if they were free.

The Ancient War Gods, however, paid no mind, and after breaking free from the formation's limit, they instantly dissolved their phantoms and fled in disarray.

Ordinary formations have boundaries, only advanced formations can ignore them.

Clearly, although the Stellar River Level had touched upon a hint of the universe's mysteries, they could not master formations that could move freely.

After the Ancient God remotely killed some War God Clan members, they also disbanded.

"Hahaha, how exhilarating."

"This battle annihilated at least three thousand War God Clan members. Excellent, excellent."

"What a joy, what a joy."

The God Race members were elated.

Although the dying counterattack of one Ancient War Gods caused some losses, they were all within an acceptable range.

Formations have high defense and low offense; before a loophole appears in the formation, it is difficult for casualties to occur unless they are besieged. Therefore, the ultimate competition is still attrition.

This is also one of the reasons why many battles between star clusters last for many years.

In external battlefields, there will even be machinery and such to assist in formation combat.

With the enhancement of technology, they become even more resilient.

"Should we pursue them?"

"No need, right? When it comes to a chaotic brawl, we're really not as good as the War God Clan."

"Exactly, those barbarians just love to pick off individuals."

"Only in formations, where all our strength is concentrated, can we leverage the advantage of numbers. If it's a melee, they can easily exploit our weaknesses."

All the God Race members spoke up.

"Let's not worry about them for now. Let's go see how Lin Ye is doing."

Everyone came to the void sealed by the spatial lock.

"Does anyone have a Law Artifact that can open space?"

"Which Master would even bother to create something like that?"

"He'll have to rely on himself."

"Who said that? Although we can't open it, we can transmit things inside." A God Race member said.

He then pulled out a silver longsword.

"Little sword, little sword, from now on, follow the commands of the person inside." He transmitted Lin Ye's information.

Law Artifacts do not develop spirits, but they have basic operating logic.

Except for existences like Weapon Masters who specialize in cultivating weapons, others would not allow their artifacts to develop wills.

Developing a will makes it easy to lose control and break away.

The slight increase in autonomy and strength isn't worth it.

If a sword you've cultivated for many years develops a will and wants to travel the universe, what would you do? If you don't satisfy it, it might just slack off on you.

The small silver sword was sent into the spatial pocket.

"And me, his shield Law Artifact must have consumed a lot."

A figure threw out a shield.

"And me, my weapon is most suitable for Lin Ye."

A figure threw out a pair of gauntlets.

"And..."

"And..."

"No, no, no, brother, don't join the fun. Your artifact doesn't have the ability to traverse."

"Oh, oh, sorry, I got carried away."

One by one, Law Artifacts with the ability to traverse space were thrown out.

It's difficult to transport people through a blockade, but sending objects is too simple.

A total of five Law Artifacts were thrown out.

Inside the spatial pocket.

Lin Ye was fighting a bloody battle with seven individuals.

Suddenly, five Law Artifacts were thrown in one by one.
