The god race bubble was just a few tens of miles away, a distance that I could cross in simply no time. And yet, when I got out of my shielded zone, I ended up taking a few hours to cross it!
The moment I stepped outside, the enemy released tons of their forces, including all the crazy and scary forces I fought against before, including the scariest of all, the armoured worms.
In addition to these special worms, Exomachines, fiends, high zombies, and even cyclopes, I found lots of new races as well.
There was a race that got the wings of a bird, the tentacles of an octopus, and the body of a bull! It was something… Weird!
There was a race who could release thunder shocks through their horns, then vanish, appearing again after one hundred metres, while the distance would explode with fierce and violent explosions.
There was a race who would come like wind, unseen, undetected, then strike like a falling starlight!
I saw lots and lots of new races, lots and lots of forces, all were coming towards me. They didn't just want to block my path forward, they wanted to kill me in the process.
And to do so, they got to lure me out of the shielded zone first, like they did, and then hit me hard with everything they got, like how they did it now. But who told them I planned to stay inside my shield forever?
"Come out!" I didn't have my chariot, but I got another better option here, "create my silver ground!"
I summoned none other than Lucas II here. This scary Avenger could turn air into solid land, and like this I'd not need any chariot at all!
"Yes lord," Lucas instantly summoned the silver ground, and it got formed and expanded for miles, tens of miles around.
It wasn't enough to reach the god race bubble, but it'd get me and my forces towards the closest spot there. And Lucas II would help in linking the two pieces together.
And then it came down to an all out onslaught. But first…
"Thundering Might!"
I got to lay out the defensive foundation first before doing anything else. And once my shield expanded, covering up lots of enemy forces, pushing away the fire that didn't bring any damage to my enemies, I started to take out lots of my warriors.
I didn't use many Kings this time, so I left the stage open for the old guards to show their might.
I spent lots of time and wealth gathering all of these warriors, and so they got to show up, fight from time to time.
As for my Kings, geared up soulers and reapers, fallen gods and Avengers, they were enough to act as the elite and special forces.
I left my forces here fighting against the enemies, and went outside at once. I knew the enemy had a way to kill through my shields, and so it was better to scatter more shields than just strengthen a single spot.
After all, my target was to get to the god race bubble, not to just wait here and defend a spot.
I moved out, crossed more space, used my shield over and over again. The thing that truly sucked was my lack in bringing out any troops to fight in the middle of all this hectic place.
I used a deadly attack to just end up without killing the strongest forces out there, limiting my forces, and binding my hands behind my back.
I should be more conservative from now on about using my deadly bone fire and the lethal shockwave of my shields.
These two strong and scary weapons just got their edges dull and broken. And it was better to find other weapons to use.
Thinking about that made me wonder if the Kings and geared up soulers and reapers would be the best replacement.
"They lack the AOE ability is something that's too hard to replace…" I found that no matter which race or warriors I had, there was still this missing huge gap.
The fire and the shockwave were overbearing in terms of killing lots of enemies and covering up huge stretches of land in a short time, and for a long time.
"I can't just let these two be negated without thinking of a solution…" I started to think about using my shields to trap forces inside, before detonating everything using my bone fire.
I used this before, and it worked. But right now, it wouldn't work. The enemy got the ability to stop the fire, and also the shields.
"What annoying bastards you are…" I clenched my fists, looking at the world around me, before moving forward once more.
This wasn't a problem I could solve anytime soon. And till I found a right way to deal with the resisting forces, then I should use any of my deadly attacks.
"That reminds me… These races never showed such resistance before… What changed?" Thinking about this made me realise something…
These races weren't able to hold a candle before against my deadly attacks. And yet they were able to do it now. It wasn't just one race, but many if not all of them. And that was quite weird.
Was it some sort of gears? But if so, how come the enemies found a way to mass produce these gears? I didn't know but for a reason… There was something that I missed.
I looked around again, but couldn't find any clue for any of this. I simply kept moving forward, but slowly and not as fast as I imagined before.
I kept releasing warriors in batches, while flying over the silver ground of mine. At a point, the world seemed to get blocked by a colossal wall at the front, which was the god race bubble.
I stood at the edge, overwatching the world in between me and the bubble. I let Lucas II form silver ground in midair, and so we were already hundreds of metres, if not thousands higher than the real ground level.
The enemy had no other option but to send out the flying units towards me. As for the ground ones, they seemed to lose hope in stopping me, and went towards the god race bubble to crack it open.
I didn't know if this was possible or not, but from my exchange with the enemies for so long, I wouldn't be one hundred percent sure of their failure to be honest.
Yet that wasn't what I was thinking about right now, the god race trapped inside this bubble was.
I came all the way here to claim the god race for myself. And as I got this close from them, I realised something.
The entire world was filled with deadly explosive attacks. And there were lots of enemies here, surrounding this bubble.
In other words, I got to think not about how to free the god race, but how to keep them alive after doing this.
"The only option I got is what I already used before at those bastards' bubbles… However…"
I was thinking about forming another ring shield surrounding this god race bubble, securing it from most of the deadly circumstances and enemies around.
But just by seeing how colossal and grand this bubble was made me hesitate. Doing this before at the jumpers' bubble took lots of time. And now I had to waste more time than before, at least five folds, or even more.
I still didn't know how really big this bubble was. "I have no other way but this…" I opened my inventory, and took out a few more gears that supported and augmented one's speed.
To do it, I got to fly faster, like a real bolt of lightning. And I got nothing else right now to worry about in terms of artefacts.
I looked and selected a pair of boots, a pair of ear wings, a wing supporting artefact, even shoulders and head feathers to support one's speed.
Now I felt like I was a true bird, a true giant hawk or something. And it was time to start and test things over.
"I think I won't need silver ground anymore," I looked at the gap again, and at my silver ground, before deciding to go down there, to the real ground, and built my shield ring down below.
My silver ground looked useful and strong, and quite dependable. But it has a fatal flaw… It got a time limit before it'd expire and fall.
If Lucas II wasn't left here all the time to repair and form new silver ground, it would fall either on the attacks of the enemies or on its own volition.
So it was much better to build this ring on the ground.
"Roar!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Just as I decided this, I jumped off the edge, took a leap of faith towards the ground, and fell directly towards the endless stream of enemies down below.
