Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 418 - 60: Five Sea Gods, Nine Great Primordials Emerge Together.

On Barbaric Star, within the chaotic turbulence of Subspace that corresponds to the planet’s core in the Material Realm.

Here, five terrifying behemoths were gathered.

These five behemoths were, without a doubt, Ancient Deities.

A gathering of several Ancient Deities was not unheard of in the past, even in ages long gone, but it was exceedingly rare.

After all, the growth of Ancient Deities was different from that of ordinary life.

Even without eating or drinking, they could still grow continuously by absorbing the ambient Energy from the outside world.

What’s more, if they devoured an equivalent Ancient Deity, their growth could even be accelerated.

Thus, under normal circumstances, Ancient Deities seldom met, except in times of extreme crisis.

And even when they did meet to cooperate against other powerful Ancient Deities, they still had to guard against their supposed allies launching a sneak attack at any moment.

As such, a gathering of five Ancient Deities here in Subspace was a truly rare sight.

Moreover, these five Ancient Deities were, without a doubt, among the most powerful beings worshiped by the marine Clans on Barbaric Star today.

The most powerful of them was an Ancient Deity with the appearance of a jellyfish.

Its jellyfish-like bell had a diameter exceeding eight thousand kilometers.

Naturally, a creature of this scale was the most powerful of the marine Ancient Deities.

Its Clan also controlled the largest expanse of the seas.

And now, even it, a being renowned for its cruelty, had no choice but to accept an alliance proposal from the other four marine Ancient Deities.

This was all, of course, a desperate measure, forced upon them by the allied army of the Star Empire and the Giant Demon Empire.

"Dammit! Where in the world did these Exotic Creatures come from?"

"It would be one thing if only those mortals were troublesome, but I never expected these insignificant mortals to be protected by a powerful Deity."

"It’s simply incomprehensible."

"Oh, mighty Vortex God, you are the most powerful Deity in our oceans. You have to come up with a plan."

"If the outside world is completely occupied by those exotic mortals, forget about demanding blood offerings—we won’t even be able to move about freely anymore."

"Of course, that alone might be tolerable, but that terrifying, gargantuan Deity beyond the Star Sea is still watching us. Even if we wanted to leave now, it’s likely impossible."

An eel Ancient Deity nearly ten thousand kilometers long spoke to the jellyfish Deity, its expression grim and menacing.

"That’s right. We never provoked these Exotic Creatures."

"They appeared in our world out of nowhere, and they even disturbed my sleep."

"I don’t care if my insignificant mortals die. At worst, I’ll just stop eating blood offerings."

"But it’s clear those Exotic Creatures are after us!"

"If I hadn’t detected that immense Power lurking in the Dark beyond the Star Sea in the beginning, that terrifying creature might have eaten me by now."

"Absolutely terrifying."

"If this keeps up, I’m terrified that creature will find a way in and eat us one by one."

As the eel finished speaking, an Ancient Deity that looked like a colossal clownfish not far from its side also spoke up, its voice trembling with lingering panic.

"It’s true. That creature is just massive."

"Even that most powerful bug on the continent is probably less than half its size."

"I suspect that if that serpent from the Exotic Realm was willing to pay the price, it could probably swallow our entire world whole."

The Ancient Deity hiding in a giant shell like a hermit crab also spoke up, its voice filled with dread.

"Forget suspecting. It’s a fact, you fools."

"You all saw it coiled up, that serpent-like creature. It’s almost as large as our entire world. If it gets angry, we’ll have absolutely no way to escape."

"The only saving grace right now is that the intangible will of this world, the very world that nurtured us, is still powerful. As long as that giant serpent wishes to avoid catastrophic losses, it cannot easily force its way into our realm."

The Ancient Deity that resembled a Sea Rabbit—and seemed to have a quicker mind—spoke in a grave tone.

In any case, even gathered together, these five—some of the oldest marine Ancient Life in existence—felt no sense of security.

In response to this, the giant, jellyfish-like Ancient Deity finally broke its silence and spoke slowly.

"I have not paid attention to the affairs of the outside world for a long time."

"But if what you four say is true, then I believe our options are quite limited."

"Moreover, I can faintly sense a gaze locked upon us, even here in this secret Space."

"Do not doubt my senses."

"If my suspicions are correct, the serpent-like creature you’ve been talking about is watching us right now."

"Therefore, our only options are to either contact the four most powerful beings on the continent to resist to the bitter end, or to ascertain the true objective of that Exotic Deity."

As soon as the jellyfish Deity said this, the Sea Rabbit Deity immediately spoke up.

"Don’t even think about it, Vortex God."

"Before I came here, I had already sent my people to scout the continent."

"And guess what I found?"

"That big green one on the continent... its people have already thrown their lot in with those exotic mortals."
