Chapter 517: The Dual-Snake Society
Lin Shen led his battle team to continue high-speed flying in the sky; they no longer needed to look for lone Ascenders but were charging towards other battle teams.
Apart from the necessary rest time to allow the Ascenders to recover their strength, most of their time was spent in high-speed flight.
In the Ascension Level battlefield now, battle teams were everywhere; they encountered another battle team with tens of thousands of members before long.
This time both sides shouted their passwords loudly, but Lin Shen still led his team towards the other.
The opposing battle team was greatly surprised and summoned their Life Bases in preparation for battle, only to see the battle team stop in its tracks, and one person stepping forward from the crowd.
"Boss!" The man relaxed upon seeing Lin Shen.
Upon seeing him, Lin Shen was also somewhat surprised and said loudly, "Scattered they are stars in the sky, united they are a blazing fire. Now, upon this battlefield, teams are everywhere; we must join forces to protect ourselves. I request that your team merges with us."
"We should indeed join forces," the man also knew what the situation was, having already encountered many battle teams, he had long been fearful and anxious.
Now, it was impossible to find solitary or small groups of Ascenders, and they dared not attack other battle teams; he had no idea what to do.
Lin Shen successfully merged the divided battle team; they had split off ten thousand, but nearly thirty thousand returned.
Lin Shen and Tian Buluo charged ahead, merging with any battle team they encountered. Many members of other battle teams had once been part of Lin Shen's team or had been with the teams he had sent out.
Moreover, given the current situation, many battle teams were willing to rejoin voluntarily, which allowed Lin Shen and Tian Buluo's team to grow larger and larger.
Those who were reluctant to join, faced with such a massive team, did not dare to utter a word against it. Not joining would mean being robbed, and there was no third option.
No one is a fool; to join such a large team and still keep one's points, who would foolishly let others steal their points?
In just over an hour, Lin Shen's team had grown to a million in size and was still rapidly expanding.
The spectators were all discussing fervently at this point because a very interesting scene had emerged on the Ascender battlefield.
Two forces were crazily absorbing Ascenders, both already surpassing the million mark and still expanding rapidly.
People had assumed that there would be chaos among the battle teams, and although skirmishes did indeed occur among them, that was a rare occurrence. Before the chaos had a chance to start, many teams had been absorbed by these two forces.
The snowball effect caused the two battle teams to grow increasingly large; naturally, one of these teams was Lin Shen's, and the other was Di Esi's.
Di Esi operated on an even distribution of points, while Lin Shen was about protecting points. Although the philosophies of the two teams were different, once the snowballing began, ordinary teams, whether willing or not, could only be coerced into joining. Continue reading at empire
Even many Nirvana Level and even Immortal Level powerhouses had started paying attention to the Ascender battlefield.
This situation was too rare; if it continued to develop, it could likely evolve into a tremendous battle.
People from all the Powerful Cosmic Races watched with apprehension; the outcome of a clash between such two large forces was unpredictable.
If neither could suppress the other and a real fight broke out, heaven knows how many Ascenders would die.
Many were looking forward to the encounter between these two massive teams, yet were also worried about what might happen after they met.
Fate is truly a miraculous thing; two super battle teams rampaged across the planet and, miraculously, had not met.
There were several times when they almost encountered each other, but each time the two battle teams chose different directions and miraculously missed one another.
The closest the two teams ever came to meeting was less than a thousand kilometers apart.
A thousand kilometers is a great distance for ordinary people, but for Ascenders, a thousand kilometers really isn't much at all.
The two super battle teams never managed to meet, and as a result, they kept growing in size.
Any battle teams that encountered them, if they didn't react in time to flee, had no choice but to join.
With time passing, the two battle teams developed to the tens of millions and soon broke through to the billions.
All the Ascenders on the planet trembled under the terrifying might of the two battle teams.
The powerhouses of various races on the outside were trembling just the same, wondering what kind of cataclysmic event would happen if these two teams actually fought each other.
A battle of this scale could no longer be called a battle. In terms of interstellar warfare, this was already not a small scale.
The Celestial Race… the Di Man Tribe… the Chaos Clan… and other Powerful Cosmic Races were all dragged into it, and if a great war was triggered, the consequences were unimaginable.
Ascenders participating had never seen such a grand spectacle, where the passing of hundreds of millions of Ascenders alone was already earth-shattering.
Amazingly, even at this level, the two super battle teams still hadn't managed to meet, always narrowly missing their fates with each other.
Luckily, the Ascension Level Planet Battlefield was big enough. Though the two teams seemed large, for the Planet Battlefield, they were roughly equivalent to a locust plague.
Lone Ascenders and some smaller battle teams now only sought to flee at the sight, daring not to show themselves, just waiting for the elimination round to end.
The two battle teams weren't even bothering with the loners and small groups, they just swallowed up the larger battle teams.
When there were a little over seven hours left before the end of the elimination round, both teams had surpassed the billion-level mark.
Although for the Ascenders involved in the battle, it was still just a small number, a battle team of this scale was, in fact, quite terrifying.
It was already a very challenging task to command a team of such a scale.
It was fortunate that the elimination round was short; otherwise, just controlling such a team would have been beyond the abilities of most.
Due to the meddling of these two giant gluttonous snakes, the chaotic battle between teams became completely impossible. Those small teams were too busy fleeing, who would dare to rob other teams, fearing to draw the attention of the two super battle behemoths.
"Those two super battle teams have triggered the catfish effect, making the majority of the smaller teams extremely cautious, not daring to randomly attack other teams. Although this is the best outcome, it's also a bit boring. I hope they finally collide; that would be quite a spectacle," Catherine said, leaning on the sofa, her eyes blazing as she stared at the screen.
Perhaps the heavens heard Catherine's wish. After numerous near misses, with less than an hour left before the end of the elimination round, the two super battle teams finally met—and this time, they didn't pass each other by.
When each side saw the other's Ascenders blotting out the sky, they were both stunned.
For so long, they had both devoured the weaker, making other teams look like mere chaff before them, destined only to be eaten. They were invincible beings, never having to worry about encountering any resistance.
How could suddenly such a terrifying battle team emerge? The appearance of each startled the members of the other side; if they truly fought, the consequences were simply unimaginable.
The watching leaders of various races were sweating nervously, wondering what to do if an actual battle broke out. This TM could spiral out of control, potentially sparking a universal war.
