NOVEL NEXT Chapter313-High God Rank Legions
Royal Forest Garden.
Aurek was immersed in the Sacred Baptismal Pool.
Princess Belinda buried her head in the holy water, her long black hair spreading like a waterfall in the water.
After a long while, she raised her head, and the milky holy water slid down her hair, creating ripples.
She coughed lightly, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at Aurek.
Aurek kept his eyes closed, focused in deep thought.
The information panel had already indicated that the battle in Godfall Canyon had ended.
[Exterminated the Abyss demon race legion, Emperor Point +96 trillion…]
[Casualties of attribute legion: 50,900]
[Emperor Point sufficient, do you wish to upgrade the attribute legion's power authority?]
Compared to the gains, the cost of this battle was negligible!
A terrifying 660 trillion Emperor Points was enough to upgrade the attribute legion's power authority to level 14!
Even to level 15!
At that point, the strength of the attribute warriors would surpass Divine Cleric rank, and the Empire would truly possess deep, unparalleled power.
Now, Crossbridge Empire was no longer facing the task of unifying the continent, but enemies from the God Realm and the Abyss Demon Realm!
These powerful enemies were what he truly needed to confront.
High God, God General, True God, and even higher beings!
Since the passage had been opened, the invasion would not stop.
The war had just begun!
Moreover, such enormous point gains would allow him to continue advancing, potentially to High God or even God General rank!
This was undoubtedly a great reassurance.
Aurek opened his eyes and stood up.
Seeing this, Princess Belinda quickly draped her royal veil over herself, but the natural fragrance still lingered around her.
It was her special physique—wherever she went, flowers bloomed.
She rose and helped Aurek put on his royal robes.
"Rest here,"
Belinda nodded in agreement.
Aurek then stepped out of the royal forest garden and returned to the Imperial Palace.
Upgrading the titan sequence to level 14 required 16 trillion Emperor Points, and other legions could be upgraded to level 13!
Aurek confirmed the upgrade.
[Titan Summon Legion Authority upgraded to level 14, capable of nurturing 102,400 level 14 titans per day.]
[Emperor Points required for the next upgrade: 500 trillion.]
[Note: Level 14 titans are equivalent to Grand Divine Cleric rank.]
...
After consuming 16,000 trillion Emperor Points, he still had enough Emperor Points to upgrade the titans to level 15!
However, Aurek resisted the impulse and instead consumed 4,000 trillion Emperor Points to upgrade the Elemental Assassin authority to level 13.
To upgrade to level 14 required 15,000 trillion Emperor Points.
To upgrade to level 15 required 48,000 trillion Emperor Points.
Without hesitation, Aurek chose to upgrade.
[Elemental Summon Legion Authority upgraded to level 15, capable of nurturing 204,800 level 15 Elemental Assassins per day.]
[Emperor Points required for the next upgrade: 9.8 million trillion.]
[Note: Level 15 Elemental Assassins are equivalent to High God rank.]
Seeing the information prompt, Aurek's eyes gleamed with intense light.
An additional 200,000 High God rank warriors per day!
This truly demonstrated the incredible power of the ruler's authority.
Since the Empire had officially clashed with the Abyss Demon Realm, the war would not stop, only escalating.
Thus, Aurek prioritized upgrading the Elemental Assassin sequence, which would allow him to infiltrate the demon realm for reconnaissance, assassinations, and obtaining resources from the higher world.
The resources from the Demon Realm could be used to enhance Hero Rank units, Queen Josephine, and the Empire's senior officials, helping them keep pace with the Empire's growing strength.
In this regard, the Elemental Assassins played an irreplaceable role that no other legion could fulfill.
Aurek continued to upgrade Elven Marksmen and other summon legions.
[Nature Summon Legion Authority upgraded to level 14, capable of nurturing 101,200 level 14 Elven Marksmen per day.]
[Emperor Points required for the next upgrade: 600 trillion.]
[Note: Level 14 Nature Summon Legions are equivalent to Grand Divine Cleric rank.]
...
[Space Summon Legion Authority upgraded to level 13, capable of nurturing 51,200 Void Warlocks per day.]
[Emperor Points required for the next upgrade: 80 trillion.]
[Note: Level 13 Space Summon Legions are equivalent to Divine Cleric level 4.]
...
Mountain Shieldbearer, Life Sorcerer, Frostbound Warlock, Doomsday Warrior, and other summon legions were not yet upgraded.
Even so, the Empire's military power now had become terrifying, with daily additions of 400,000 to 500,000 Divine Cleric rank or higher attribute legions.
Who could rival such strength?
...
Abyss Demon Realm, Four-Winged Demon Legion Headquarters
"Wait until Lierlon clears the resistance forces in the Eura Continent before you send troops to take control."
"The Lord has ordered that administrative officials be sent to govern."
Wesley was discussing the follow-up plans with his generals.
A high-ranking demon general proposed, "My lord! The Secondary Demon Realm garrison reports that they've discovered spies in the nearby demon realm. Should we send more troops to prevent them from infiltrating?"
"Hmph! If found, kill them on sight!"
Wesley's eyes grew cold, and he added,
"Also, send an additional 100,000 troops to strengthen the passage's defense. There must be no mistakes."
"Understood!"
The demon general saluted and was about to speak further when a high-ranking demon general responsible for guarding the Secondary Demon Realm suddenly rushed into the hall without regard for protocol.
Wesley and the other demon generals stopped their discussion and focused their gaze on the newcomer.
Wesley's eyes sharpened, and his overwhelming pressure fell on Lujak, chastising his lack of decorum.
"My lord! Eura Continent is in great trouble!"
Lujak, under intense pressure, spoke hastily,
"The entire sixty thousand Four-Winged Demon army has been annihilated!"
Wesley's imposing presence faded as he walked up to Lujak, speaking slowly,
"Do you know the consequences of reporting false military information?"
All the generals stared at Lujak in astonishment.
"My lord, everything I said is true!"
"The army that entered Eura Continent has been wiped out. General Lierlon, Lord Orins… all have perished!"
Lujak reported again.
The generals stood up, their faces darkening.
"Lujak! What nonsense are you spouting!"
"With the strength of Eura Continent, even a single drop of our spit would drown them! How dare you tarnish the reputation of the legion? I won't spare you!"
A high-ranking demon general scolded him fiercely, glaring at Lujak.
The sixty thousand soldiers sent were elite, powerful enough to match the main forces of the God Mountain, renowned for their might!
They had once crushed a fifty-thousand-strong army from another demon realm empire with just ten thousand soldiers!
Now someone was claiming that such a legion was wiped out in a low-tier world?
How could that be possible?
If Eura Continent was truly that strong, then why had Pantek and others gone to such lengths to sabotage the passage?
"Tell me the specifics!"
Wesley's face darkened frighteningly as he interrogated Lujak.
Lujak, his face full of horror, replied,
"Eura Continent... has millions of Divine Cleric rank legions!"
"Their strength is on par with ours! As soon as our army entered that world, we were surrounded. This is the absolute truth. A few soldiers managed to escape and report back, or we would have remained in the dark."
"What?!"
"Millions of Divine Cleric rank?!
"Are you joking?!"
The generals gasped.
"A low-tier world, and there are millions of Divine Cleric rank warriors? Are you sure that's Eura Continent?"
No one could believe it.
But at the head of the table, Wesley's aura suddenly erupted in fury!
"My lord!"
The generals' faces changed dramatically, and they rushed forward.
Wesley's face was twisted in rage, his fists cracking from the tension.
He realized that Lujak would never joke about something like this.
Sixty thousand elite soldiers…
How could he explain this to the Empire, to the Lord?
