Old days in the box

Chapter 549 The True War of Gods is About to Erupt

A precise and swift attack was about to erupt in the heart of the elven kingdom of Alfheim.

In an inner star system less than 500 light-years from the Palace in the Forest, flashes of light frequently emerged from the vacuum, instantly bringing countless ancient armies from other realms to this world belonging to the Alliance of Gods.

The old "cut and paste" tactics are being launched on an unprecedented scale, consuming countless faith points every second, with hundreds of millions of troops landing one after another to join the new Dragonborn army.

The signals from the Magic Network are doing the same thing, rapidly infiltrating through these armies in an attempt to locate the celestial computer that governs this realm.

Once the magic network locates this Star God embryo, the elites of the past will rush forward immediately and tear it to pieces.

"The vanguard of the Undead Army has arrived, about 60,000 kilometers behind us. They will be in charge of the general offensive on the right flank," Jormungandr reported to Yuan Wuyou from his dragon's back.

“The Great Old Ones are almost all here. Nordens, Gatanottoa, Hastur, and Tindaros have all logged in one after another, and the signal of the Magic Network is expanding further.” Yuan Wuyou nodded.

"Tell my sister to search for the location of that celestial computer as soon as possible. I'll go and buy you some time."

Jormungandr leaped off the dragon's back, transforming back into his enormous serpentine form, and flew towards the densely packed enemies in the distance.

Ahead of their route, an allied force of elves of various kinds had already urgently assembled from the surrounding star systems, forming a massive defensive line to protect the Palace in the Forest.

From the moment the magic network signal invaded Alfheim, they had already received a warning from the stellar computer.

The swarm's return will take some time, but the loyal elves are willing to give everything for the goddess of fertility and the god of abundance. They will never allow the old raid to continue. Besides, this is the stronghold of the Alliance of Gods, and the remaining Norse gods will not sit idly by.

Compared to Vanaheim, which has been transformed into a purgatory, this is the true battleground of the gods.

The massive Spear of Adun tore through the void, followed by thousands of fleets of Deepsea Watchers and Undead. One second they were fiercely fighting the Zerg swarm in Vanaheim, and the next they were instantly "stuck" here by the power of the past, facing a completely new situation.

"My lord is truly unfathomable. Was Yuan Wuyou transferred to Niflheim just to recruit a completely new army?" On the Spear of Adun, Taiyin stared at the group of dragons moving through the vacuum outside the window and said helplessly.

“The void tide signal in Niflheim surged hundreds of thousands of times a few minutes ago. That place has probably been swallowed up by the void.” Another chosen one, Freya, was also in the control room. They were both receiving new information rapidly through the magic network.

"Before you were transported here by the Old Ones, did Vanaheim win or lose?" Freya asked.

“I’ve already destroyed that area,” Tai said succinctly.

Tain was not lying. Before he came here, the Vanaheim region he was in had been almost completely devoured by the Mother Tree of Desire, turning it into a desolate and uninhabited star belt. Blood-red buds and fungal carpets covered the surface of every planet, and even the Zerg swarm could not survive in such a place.

"So this is our Lord's fourth chosen one, Father's new colleague?" Beside Tyne, another extremely young boy, also observing the black dragon outside the window, asked with great interest. The last Primarch to awaken under the Old Ones' control, Tindalos.

Learning from Ithaca's experience, Tindalos was raised by Tyne after his awakening and fought alongside the various legions of the undead.

Years ago, he had just gained the approval of the last Darkin weapon, Varus, becoming the second Darkin wielder after Nordens.

"Don't let your guard down. Remember your mission. Once the location of the astral computer is locked by the magic network, all of you rulers must set off immediately without fail," Tyne reminded him.

"Rest assured, Father. Since our lord has found a way to send us deep into enemy territory, we must complete this mission, even if it means going through fire and water," Tindalos replied with a smile.

Thanks to years of personal guidance, the child is confident but not arrogant, flamboyant but not reckless and impulsive, showing some resemblance to Tain in his youth.

His innate Dominator talent allows him to transform supernatural power into the power of faith. With the blessing of the Bow of Verus, he has been hunting for traces of divine authority among the stars for years, and has even made some progress.

But this war cannot be won by one Great Old One alone; to destroy that celestial computer, they need the power of all the Great Old Ones.

The battle began instantly across the stars. The Void Dragonborn, at the forefront of the battle, clashed with the Elven alliance of Alfheim and engaged in direct combat on several neighboring planets.

As for the undead and the Deepsea Watchers who were teleported here, although they dispersed their formations immediately and landed on as many planets as possible, the enemy's actions were equally swift, and conflict between the two sides was inevitable, soon igniting across vast swathes of star systems.

They are eliminating as many search targets as possible for the Magic Network. The more planets the old Japanese army has landed on, the more time the Magic Network can save by eliminating useless areas.

Nevertheless, the number of star systems surrounding the Palace in the Forest is astronomical, and even with the full force of the magic network's search, it would take much longer.

Nidhogg, the black dragon, soared through the vacuum, like a living volcano spanning galaxies, blocking the path of a large elven coalition.

As the new chosen god of the past, the legendary Black Dragon of Destruction, its battlefield is not on those planets. The dragon's soul roars silently on its back, and flames erupt between planets, directly annihilating many elven reinforcements who tried to come to its aid.

Relying on its body, which allows it to move freely in a vacuum, it single-handedly blocked the marching route of the elven alliance.

But terrifying supernatural power soon surged in from the other side of the starry sky. As the war escalated, the Norse gods who had been hiding in this realm began to appear one after another, personally joining the battle of the gods.

The goddess of the hills, Skadi, the goddess of strife, Gulveig, the god of winter, and other deities appeared together, using their authority to suppress the prophesied world-destroying black dragon.

The collision of divine powers nearly distorted spacetime, and the aftershocks alone destroyed thousands of undead warships nearby. However, the dragon soul on Nidhogg's back did not yield. Instead, it fused with the evil dragon orb and unleashed even more vicious black flames, cloaking itself in an even more terrifying dragon armor.
