Chapter 1623: Chapter 1162: The First Battle is the Decisive Battle (3K)

Everyone knows that a great war is on the brink of erupting, and various powers have begun to actively prepare for battle.

As days pass, the time to fully charge the Black Stone Matrix draws ever nearer.

The native human empire’s legions, the protectors of the faith, are all assembling along the coastal defense lines.

The main brain-constructed weapon manufacturing factories are churning out various weapons at a frenzied pace. This has resulted in even more human soldiers being armed and trained.

In just one month, mankind has formed over five hundred thousand soldiers, each equipped with a grenade launcher and clad in battle dress.

During this period, robot factories have also produced over three million robot soldiers.

When the players saw the vast number of robot soldiers covering the hills and plains, they couldn’t help but marvel at the mighty strength of the Qin. After confirming there would be no AI crisis, they gained some confidence for the upcoming war.

In the polar regions, a formidable fleet is formed by more than a dozen main ships, vast numbers of cruisers, and escort vessels. Under the protection of this fleet, one evil ritual after another was initiated, contaminating the entire Arctic Region with an aura of chaos.

One by one, the Great Chaos Demons, who had left bloody legends in numerous worlds, would lead their Demon Generals. Through evil rituals, they will descend upon this world.

They will slaughter their way into Atlantis, into the Sea Clan’s territory! And after that, they will confront mankind!

Meanwhile, the sea is tumultuous.

Under the protection of the aurora light curtain, the Sea Clan’s legion has occupied numerous islands to form a defensive chain, ready to resist the assaults from both mankind and Chaos.

This action, however, has greatly dissatisfied the Sea Clan.

After all, without the ability for large-scale spatial deployment, humans and Chaos could only approach Atlantis through the skies or across the sea surface.

That would be the first line of battlefield for both sides. But all the forces on these battlefields belong to the Sea Clan. They will be the front line against both mankind and Chaos!

Even though there are many legions on Atlantis’s native soil, those are the descendants of the First Generation Legacy Race, and while they haven’t become divine beings, their formidable Mysterious Forces make their fighting power quite remarkable. Yet, they show no intention of sharing the burden of defense.

What, so while the Sea Clan fights humans and Chaos outside the defense lines, you legacies sit back and reap the benefits?

"These damn immortals, are they sending us to our deaths?" A powerful person of the Sea Clan muttered in a hidden place.

"It’s said that it’s the Sea King himself who requested... that we guard the first line of defense," a noble of the Sea Clan responded. "What is the Sea King thinking? To please these immortals?"

"Why must we submit to these immortals? Even if they are our ancestors, we shouldn’t be so servile!" Another Sea Clan Demigod spoke up coldly.

"We owe our loyalty to the Sea King, not Atlantis!" Yet another Demigod said.

"But we Sea Clan and the Naga, from the time of our design, have been implanted with soul locks. We can only obey their commands..."

"Are we supposed to hand over the great empire we have built to those coffin boards?"

"I am not willing! How can the Sea Clan Empire become puppets of those old things! Even if they are the Champion Civilization, this is too much desecration!"

"Enough." At this moment, a cold female voice rang out—the Sea Queen Hai Qing, looking indifferently at several Sea Clan demigods: "Are you planning to rebel?"

The Demigods fell silent, not daring to utter any more disrespectful words in the presence of the Sea Clan’s queen.

Hai Qing continued, "Hailing Mountain is much more than you think, and although there are many aspects of him I despise, he will never harbor any personal agenda against the Sea Clan. What you need to do is to follow his orders."

"...Yes." The Sea Clan Demigods and the nobles bowed their heads in agreement.

Suddenly, a Sea Clan noble spoke up, "Your Highness, we have shared intelligence about Li Ba, but this defensive line seems to lack precaution against that move Li Ba used upon returning from the Netherworld..."

Hai Qing smiled faintly, placing her forefinger to her lips.

The faces of the Sea Clan members changed slightly, and then they nodded in silence.

Since then, there was no more resistance from the Sea Clan regarding the orders from Atlantis.

Inside Atlantis, the Sea Clan’s Sea King Hailing Mountain was being questioned.

"Are you sure Li Ba will definitely enter the trap? Why are the observations indicating that the human divinities do not intend to join the attack?" The Ancient Sky God asked from the high platform, looking down at Hailing Mountain with a cold voice.

"I understand Li Ba very well, he will surely take action personally," Hailing Mountain replied with a light laugh.

Atlantis is well aware that if they can just delay the human and Chaos legions.

Once the Black Stone Matrix is activated successfully, victory will come...

At the same time, they are also acutely aware that if the outcome is indeed as predicted, then Li Changhe will become even more terrifying.

Even with planet-killing level weapons, it’s uncertain if they can kill Li Ba.

But the attack of the Black Stone Matrix on billions of humans would certainly grant that Evil God extremely fearsome strength.

Therefore, the strategy of Atlantis is to lay a trap to lure that Evil God into the fray.

Only by completely consuming him with the Sea of Black Mud does Atlantis dare to carry out an extermination campaign against mankind.

And now, all the plans have begun as scheduled.

Yet, Atlantis worries that Li Changhe might not take action.

After all, if mankind is nearly wiped out, he will confront Atlantis with his strongest state.

Moreover, Li Changhe is also aware of the existence of the Sea of Black Mud, and due to his wariness of the Sea of Black Mud, he might not engage personally.

It can be said that both Atlantis and Chaos are considering from this angle.

From a rational standpoint...

But Hailing Mountain is different; he has truly witnessed the ferocity of Li Changhe.

A rational standpoint? Ridiculous!

Did Li Changhe show any hint of rationality when he was prepared to die together with Hailing Mountain, riding atop a Tingdaros Hound?

He has always been that kind of person, and this would not change just because he has grown stronger.

As his greatest rival, Hailing Mountain knew Li Changhe very well.

"He will definitely come here in person, he won’t be deterred by the presence of the Chaos Sea," Hailing Mountain responded, "Honored ancestors, just be ready to activate the Chaos Sea."

"But there are only three days left until we are fully charged, and humans have yet to start their attack!"

...

Indeed, there were only three days left until the activation of the Black Stone Matrix, yet humans had still not launched an attack.

Did they really think they could break through thousands of kilometers of sea within three days and strike the Black Stone Matrix?

Why have they not launched an attack?

Even Chaos was growing impatient, with their various warships crossing the sea somewhat easier.

But for humans who lacked sufficient interstellar battleships, it was questionable whether they could even transport their troops to the target sea area within three days!

However, when Chaos gathered intelligence, they received terrifying news.

Li Ba had disappeared...

It began when players were shocked to find that [Uncle Eight-direction] in their [Friends] list had suddenly greyed out.

There were only two possibilities: either he was dead or not in the same world.

The former was impossible – who in this world could kill Li Ba?

Not even the Chaos True God, nor Atlantis who had reverted back to the second existence of a True God!

So... does that mean Li Changhe has fled?

Has he left this world?

When the news of Li Ba’s disappearance spread, Chaos was not only stunned, so were the humans.

Even Xiao Nan and He Feng were silent about Li Changhe’s whereabouts.

This led some human players to think that Li Ba, facing an impossible situation, had let everyone prepare for battle while he fled first. He didn’t even take his women or brothers with him. Utterly shameless! Then what’s the point in fighting? Run away! Flee this world! If you cannot use an Escape Coin, can’t you just flee on the battleships of Daqin?

But the upper echelons of players forcibly suppressed the unrest and continued preparations for war. It seemed that Li Ba’s disappearance didn’t seem to dampen their spirits at all.

Amidst this tense atmosphere,

A crack suddenly appeared above Atlantis!

The crack emerged so eerily, bypassing the aurora light curtain in the sky, and appeared out of thin air around a kilometer above Atlantis.

It seemed to be a crack chiseled directly into the World Barrier.

The emergence of this crack instantly drew the attention of all forces.

In that moment, a look of astonishment, surprise, and realization flashed across the eyes of Chaos’s True Gods, followed by ecstatic joy, "Move out immediately, the humans are about to attack!"

"What on earth is that?" the Corrupted True God asked urgently.

"It’s the Demonic World-breaking Mace!" the Demon Sword True God sneered with satisfaction, "Such a crazy creature, daring enough to do it! Truly worthy of being Li Ba!"

Meanwhile, at the human base, Huo Qubing, upon seeing the crack, laughed lightly, "Run away? Even if General Li Ba were to fall in battle, I would never believe he would flee without fighting. He’s just going to take matters into his own hands!"

"Gentlemen, await the summons. Prepare for battle!"

Far away on the sea near the Atlantis continent, Hailing Mountain looked up at the crack with a certain smile on his face.

The crack also exploded simultaneously, and a hole was forcibly carved into the World Barrier.

A red thunderbolt struck down from the middle!

Enwrapped in that crimson lightning was none other than the disappeared Li Changhe!

He did indeed leave this world, but not to flee. It was to find a location in the World Barrier that could be hidden from Atlantis’s defenses.

Now, he has succeeded!

Using the Demonic World-breaking Mace, he chiseled a hole in the World Barrier, bypassed layer after layer of defenses, and arrived at the Atlantis continent!

Midair, Li Changhe, holding the Lightning Spear, rapidly descended and split into three.

Landing in different locations, he shattered a large number of mysterious and ancient buildings.

This was also the first time humans set foot on Atlantis, albeit a bit violently...

And the entities of Atlantis were on the edge of panic.

Their intelligence did not indicate that Li Changhe had the power to smash through the World Barrier!

Moreover, they were very aware... that Li Changhe had the power to erode the Divine Country!

"He’s just one... no, three men! Reverse to the second existence quickly, suppress him!"

They were afraid, terrified that the Sea of Black Mud would take Atlantis!

But soon, something even more frightening to them occurred.

"Just three men? Haha, it seems someone isn’t quite aligned with you all," chuckled Li Changhe of Stubborn Corpse, with a flick of spatial fluctuations in his hand, he pulled out a battle flag.

"The first battle is the decisive battle! Today shall be the doomsday of Atlantis!"

Then, waving the battle flag, heroes converged!

This is, the Pointed General Banner!
