Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 564: Chapter 357: Loss_2

Sandy Wexler is the lord of a city, and his cultivation and strength have always been formidable, yet this City Protection Formation even surpasses him. This formation perfected and strengthened by former lords has even Bart Cloud worried.

Although Logan still has more tricks up his sleeve, he can’t help but hope Sandy Wexler could defeat his enemy before revealing them. After all, even his own array is uncertain, and all the decisions were made out of desperation.

In the next moment, Sandy Wexler plunged from the sky, and the giant was instantly shattered. The divine skill of the City-protecting Array kept launching attacks. Eventually, all the buildings within a radius of three to four miles were destroyed, and thousands of people vanished in their agony.

Sandy Wexler staggered to his feet, his entire Dantian shattered. Not only had he significantly regressed in his realm, but he also lost his cultivation, making him no different from a common man—even after his wounds healed.

In the air, Jake Wexler was particularly triumphant, constantly jeering, “Weren’t you very dominative just now? Why are you so wretched now, unable to withstand a single blow? Now, this city of thousands is in my hands, and no one can stop me. Watch me destroy it.”

“If you wish to be the lord, why do you insist on destroying everything?” Sandy Wexler, on the verge of death, questioned loudly.

Jake Wexler, now possessed by evil, ponders over these words for a long time but cannot make sense of them. He stops contemplating and only hears a voice inside him urging him to slaughter, urging him to kill thousands of people.

On the other side, Logan is preparing for a formidable enemy and immediately activates his Spirit Gathering Array: “Alert the whole city to infuse their energy into it. We only have one minute, otherwise, when Jake Wexler’s attack arrives, the Spirit Gathering Array will also be destroyed.”

Bart Cloud nodded his understanding, then relayed the orders to the Captain of the Guard. The Captain fired a flare into the air. As everyone in the city saw this, they remembered what the guard had announced earlier.

Once the signal flare is fired, everyone should pour their spiritual energy into the Spirit Gathering Array. Even though the people were uncertain, the defeat of their lofty lord, leaves Logan’s array as their only hope.

“Fight against Jake Wexler, infuse all my strength.” A man shouted, transferring all his strength to the Spirit Gathering Array. This scene replicates itself all over the city, and soon hundreds of thousands have infused their power.

But that’s far from enough. To imbue the array with the power of the Holy See, at least seven or eight million people need to contribute their energy, including at least a hundred Dominators. Otherwise, the Spirit Gathering Array will not be able to unleash its power.

To be completely certain, Logan needed tens of millions to share a common enemy. The power of tens of millions of people is unimaginably mighty, enough to destroy the City-protecting Array with a single blow. Logan prayed silently that no one would slack off at this crucial moment.

Many were worried. What if the Spirit Gathering Array was just a facade and couldn’t help destroy the City-protecting Array? Or what if this action thoroughly infuriates Jake Wexler, dooming everyone in the city?

So only a few million people infused their energy, and much more were still on the fence. This sight made Logan sigh deeply. He had calculated everything, except for the fickle nature of people—tens of millions of people, each with different thoughts.

Logan leaped up, shouting loudly at the city: “Are you all cowards? Am I the only one willing to fight for our survival? What’s the use of hoarding your energy? Are you planning to take it to Hell when the city is destroyed?”

“Now is the time to unite against a common enemy, stop being selfish. Among the tens of millions in the city, is only a tenth willing to lend a hand? Don’t think Jake Wexler can spare you, he’s already lost his sanity to demonic obsession.”

Indeed, Logan’s words had taken effect. Many more people were infusing their energy into the Spirit Gathering Array. An immense power was converging within the array, like a volcano on the brink of eruption. Its terrifying aura could chill anyone to the bone.

However, after Logan’s estimation, it turned out to be only ten million people. Two-thirds of the people remained unmoved and unwilling to help. It gave Logan a great headache. What more could he say? Why did they refuse to join?

Because of the terrifying aura emanating from the Spirit Gathering Array, even Jake Wexler had noticed, despite his near-triumph. Fearful of Logan turning the tide, he ordered the stone lion to command the City-protecting Array to attack and destroy the Spirit Gathering Array.

Logan’s face turned pale. He let out a bitter laugh, “It’s all over. Once they attack, my Spirit Gathering Array surely won’t withstand it. Nothing can be changed after all.”

“Why, are tens of millions of people playing cowards?” The Captain of the Guard could not understand. It was entirely different from what he had imagined. He had believed that when he fired the signal flare, everyone in the city would respond by contributing their energy.

Bart Cloud remained silent and shook his head. Despite all the effort, they, as outsiders, had made, it was a futile endeavor. How indifferent tens of millions of people in the city were! Didn’t they understand that the city was their home?

Sandy Wexler wouldn’t give in. At this moment, he closed his eyes. It wasn’t Logan’s fault. Logan had tried his best. It was the coldness of the tens of millions of city people who were unwilling to strive for their survival. Indeed, this was the people’s indifference.

Would they really wait until Jake Wexler launches a massacre for them to realize the matter of life and death, and then regret? By then, it would have been too late; how would they deal with the enormous City-protecting Array without Logan’s Spirit Gathering Array?

A vast majority of people in the city didn’t want to take action. To them, no matter whether Sandy Wexler or Jake Wexler won, it would not make any difference. They regarded this as just a lord’s battle. They believed it would not endanger ordinary people, so they stayed aside and watched throughout.

Only a few smart people understood, so they infused their energy into the Spirit Gathering Array. They also couldn’t understand why others didn’t take action. So, each of them was shouting desperately, explaining the pros and cons to the people around them.

“Don’t think it has nothing to do with you. It’s because there will be a new lord. Jake Wexler has already been deceived by the City-protecting Array. At this moment, he is like a demon. Once the only countermeasure is gone, no one in the city can escape.”

Some baffled people suddenly came to their senses and took immediate action, “We understand now. You didn’t explain clearly before. We thought it was simply a battle between Sandy Wexler and Jake Wexler. There’s more to it than meets the eye. We almost caused a disaster.”

As many more people contributed their energy, the power of the Spirit Gathering Array intensified. At this point, twenty million people were contributing. With over thirty million people in the city, apart from ten million ordinary people without cultivation background, only a few hundred thousand people hadn’t taken action.

This outcome made Logan take a deep breath and said, “The original plan was for twenty-five million cultivators to contribute their power together. Though we are short of a few, it doesn’t make much difference. Moreover, the contributed power is even higher than initially expected.”

Logan speculated that it was due to the numerous strong people among the tens of millions in the city. Many of them were hiding their capacities and biding their time. For example, a Strong Dominator could match hundreds of average cultivators. Naturally, the power they contributed was extraordinary.

The attack of the City-protecting Array was getting closer. Logan directed the Spirit Gathering Array to counter-attack, consuming the opponent’s Divine Skill instantly. This scene completely dumbfounded Jake Wexler in the sky, while the nearby Array Spirit stone lion was also howling ceaselessly.

“You have ten Saintly Seats corpses, I have the power of tens of millions of cultivators!” Logan was completely confident, showing no fear towards the City-protecting Array. Purely in terms of power, he clearly had the upper hand. This battle was his to win.
