T/N - Because of feedback, I'll now address Aetherium Kingdom as 'The Great Aetherium' most of the time.
…
"Even if I exchange all the Power Stones and Magic Crystals for Divine Crystals, it will still fall short. I can only wait." As for what Haru was waiting for, he naturally wasn't waiting for the God of Destruction, the God of Slaughter, and the Beast Gods of Faith. They were most likely even poorer than him. In comparison, he would rather place his hopes on Cecilia from the Full Moon Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, Haru suddenly remembered something and turned to Celestia, "Did you tell the Goddess of Fate about that Artifact?"
Celestia said respectfully, "Yes my Lord and she expressed her willingness to help. Before I returned to the kingdom, she contacted some Gods of Faith and Truth. If any of them are interested, they will visit our kingdom!"
"Good!" Haru nodded slightly.
…
Time passed and the wars in the Endless Prairies and Andes Highlands did not stop. Under the leadership of the various commanders, the three million strong royal army of the Aetherium Kingdom continued to move forward.
However, compared to the war two days ago, today's harvest was not big. Other than the wild monsters, the local forces and Castle Lords in these two regions were all shrinking their defensive lines.
However, although the spoils of war today were not much, the area occupied by the Royal Army had expanded several times because their army did not encounter any obstructions. By now, the Great Aetherium had already occupied almost half of Endless Prairies and Andes Highlands.
In the remaining half of the area, a large number of local forces and Castle Lords had piled up their forces preparing for the final battle that would determine the ownership of these two regions.
Many local forces and Castle Lords could not wait any longer. They wanted to immediately gather their armies and fight to the death against the Great Aetherium. However, before the Gods behind the scenes ordered the war to begin, they could only wait anxiously.
…
Moreover, the Prairie Heaven Alliance was already chaotic. Many of their members were asking when to launch an attack. Many of them had already delayed their development for two days, so they didn't want to delay any longer.
After all, time was power for Castle Lords. While those from other regions were constantly developing and increasing their strength. They could only gather together and kill some wild monsters. As for the local forces nearby, they didn't dare to make a move.
Why? Because they were now allies. If they dared to make a move against their allies now and it infuriated those Beast Gods of Faith, that would spell disaster.
"Don't worry guys. The war will start soon. When the time comes, there will be plenty of enemies to kill for you!"
"Boss, when are we going to destroy the Great Aetherium? How long are we going to continue to maintain a peaceful relationship with the Dynasty Alliance?"
"Once the Great Aetherium is destroyed, we will attack the Dynasty Alliance. We are only temporary allies. I'm sure even those dynasties are also planning this."
"What if those Beast Gods also participate in that battle? After all, we have no Gods!"
"Don't worry, the Gods won't attack mortals. They will only target the Great Aetherium's Gods."
"That's good!" The members of the Prairie Heaven Alliance let out a sigh of relief.
…
Location: Angel City, Aetherium Kingdom.
At this moment, Haru was eating dinner prepared by his butler, Celestia, when he heard a thunderous voice.
"Come out, Aetherium Kingdom's King!"
Haru was stunned. Who actually dared to shout like this outside his Angel City?
A terrifying Divine Aura enveloped Angel City and the [Sanctum Aegis], which was able to withstand the attacks of an Intermediate God, trembled. It was foreseeable that the strength of this 'uninvited guest' was extremely terrifying, definitely many times stronger than Tigranov.
"You don't need to worry, my Lord!" Celestia's expression was calm and she respectfully said to Haru, "A late Superior God's faith in a Beast God is not worthy of your attention! Wait for me to go out and send him away."
"There's no need to rush." Haru said, "Let's go and see who it is."
Haru's figure flashed and instantly crossed over two thousand kilometers, appearing on Angel City's northern wall and Celestia followed behind him.
In the outside world, the boundless Divine Aura stirred up wind and clouds, even exposing the Astral City that was floating in the clouds. If Haru's kingdom hadn't been enveloped by the [Sanctum Aegis], it would have probably been destroyed by the Divine Aura, resulting in millions of casualties.
The aura of even a Lower True God would be enough to kill mortals. From this alone, it could be observed that this 'uninvited guest' wasn't friendly. After all, if he had come with goodwill, why would he have released his Divine Aura for no reason?
Through the Sanctum Aegis that was blossoming with white light, Haru found a very tall figure standing at an altitude of ten thousand meters mid-air. Although he couldn't compare to Tigranov, who was nearly a hundred meters tall, this person was around forty to fifty meters tall.
Furthermore, Haru believed that this was not this person's True Divine Body, which must have been even bigger than Tigranov because this person was a Golden Beamon, an intelligent beastmen race famous for their extremely tall bodies.
However, after entering the realm of Gods, body size did not mean anything and Gods could easily reshape their bodies. Therefore even though this guy was far taller than Haru and Celestia, they weren't the least bit afraid because he was a late-stage High God.
"Did you finally come out?" The Golden Beamon stared at Haru with a slightly cold expression. As he saw the two figures appear, he immediately understood that Haru was the king of the Great Aetherium because as a castle faction, its ruler had to be a human.
But when he sensed Haru's Divine Aura, he froze in his tracks, "He is an Intermediate God?"
His expression was one of shock and disbelief. A Castle Lord who had descended upon the Endless Continent a little over a month had actually been able to advance from a Tier Zero mortal to a God. Just how terrifying was this?
Most importantly, the Golden Beamon Zylo discovered that beside Haru, there was a very beautiful creature standing with numerous wings on its back. She had snow-white solid wings, as well as many pairs of ethereal wings.
'Is this a member of the legendary Angel Race native to the Great Aetherium?' However, this wasn't the main thing. The key point was that the Divine Aura emanating from that Angel was on par with Zylo. This meant that she was also a late-stage High Goddess!
Zylo was very surprised and he felt that Tigranov's death was clearly justified. He took a deep breath and no longer dared to look down on this upcoming Kingdom. He cast his gaze towards Haru again and asked with a cold expression, "You are the ruler of this kingdom, right? Did you kill Tigranov?"
"You bold heretic!" Celestia immediately shouted angrily. She immediately prepared to kill this heretic who dared to talk to her Lord in such an arrogant tone. For Angels, the Lord was supreme and sacred. No one could blaspheme or disrespect him.
"Wait Celestia!" Haru waved his hand and looked at Zylo, "Tigranov died in my capital. What? You want to avenge him?"
"Revenge?" Zylo glanced at Celestia. For some reason, he sensed a trace of danger from this beautiful Angel and said, "Tigranov entered your kingdom's domain without any authorization so it's not a pity for him to die."
"However, his Godhead and Artifacts belong to our Pantheon. So hand over these two items and let me pass them over to Lady Medusa. Then we will consider this matter to be settled!"
