Gavin, the Lion-kin High God said with a gloomy expression, "Your Majesty Kazehaya, this is an avoidable Divine war. Since your kingdom is so powerful, we have no problem with you ruling the Endless Prairies and the Andes Highlands. We can end this 'misunderstanding' peacefully!"
Gavin also wanted to retreat. He came to obtain some Godheads to enhance his strength, not to avenge the fallen Beast Gods of Faith but now that the Great Aetherium was so strong, far exceeding their estimates, they wanted to settle the matter peacefully, even if they had to offer some reparations to Haru. Of course, these reparations would be mortal resources like Power Stones and Magic Crystals.
Eveline, on the other hand, had a different thought and said expressionlessly, "The only way to end this matter peacefully is for you people to surrender!"
Gavin frowned, 'Does she seriously expect us to surrender with mere words?'
These proud Gods would rather go to war and hope of winning, rather than surrendering to a faction of unknown strength. After all, they still had two Evil High Gods as helpers hiding behind the scenes. Once they made their move, Gavin believed that their chances of victory would be at least seventy percent.
Of course, if he saw Celestia and Nora,Gavin would immediately turn back and try to run away. As for why these two powerful High Goddesses didn't show up, it was because Haru didn't want to scare the two Evil Gods.
That's why Gavin still harbored some hope and said, "This incredibly evil Divine power, even more evil than the Dimensional Demons… Has the Great Aetherium, a part of the Light, Good, and Order faction, defected to the Dark, Evil and Chaos faction?"
"Your so-called Evil faction is not worthy of having us Fallen Angels. We only pledge our loyalty to the Lord Almighty!" Eveline said, "By disrespecting the Lord, you heretics have lost your only chance to surrender!"
"Heh, we wouldn't surrender." Gavin simply refused. At the same time, he was urgently contacting Kaelix and Zarek.
Agreeing with Gavin's words, the other Beast Gods also expressed their stand — they would rather go to war and agree to mutual destruction, rather than surrendering.
"If you won't surrender, then die!" Eveline did not dilly-dally either. Her divine sword, burning with hellish flames, pointed straight at the Beast Gods.
Following her order, the dozens of Fallen Angels, who were nearly ten meters tall, turned into a black blur and attacked, leaving behind after-images.
At the same time, Lysandra also waved her scepter, releasing a terrifying amount of Divine Power that enveloped the entire battlefield.
"Purify these heretics!" With her command, all the Orthodox and Special Angels at the God Tier also launched an attack at the Beast Gods.
The Beast Gods were also not willing to show their weakness. Holding their natal artifacts, they also chose to fight back, marking the beginning of this Divine Battle!
…
As the Divine War continued inside, the Mortal War on the surface continued once again. However, the Dynasty Alliance and Castle Lord Alliances' leaders were already preparing to withdraw because they had no confidence in the Beast Gods.
Even though they only had peak Demigods at most and thus they couldn't precisely tell what was going on in the Divine Battle, they could tell that the Beast Gods were outnumbered 100 to 150.
In such a situation, even if the Great Aetherium's King Haru, who was at least a peak Lower True God, decided to deal with them, how would they survive?
(T/N - They don't have any precise intel on Haru's strength. They were simply guessing that since the Royal Army has hunted multiple Demigods and even True Gods, Haru's strength should be at this level.)
"This war was a mistake from the beginning. We shouldn't have come at all. Those Castle Lords fed us false intel!"
The Dynasty Alliance's leaders had pale faces. Their expressions were also filled with shock and disbelief. They never expected that their backing, the Beast Gods of Faith, would fail to contain the Great Aetherium's Gods and Goddesses!
"We've fallen for a trap!" The Fox Kingdom's Grand Elder said in a trembling voice, "His Majesty, the Great Aetherium's King, has been deceiving us. He did not hesitate to give up those nine cities just to lure us into taking the bait and attacking his Angel City."
"His goal was to kill us all and this battlefield, outside his kingdom's Royal Capital, is the graveyard chosen for us by His Majesty!"
Hearing these words, the other leaders' expressions became even uglier.
"Let's immediately withdraw. Even if we have to provide heavy reparations and cede territory, we might be able to save our tribesmen's lives." The Barbarian King Gorak suggested.
The others also agreed and soon, a dull conch sound rang out throughout the battlefield. The Dynasty Alliance's troops who heard this sound all abandoned their opponents and retreated without the slightest hesitation.
