Old days in the box

Chapter 553 To strike someone, strike their face first; to capture a thief, capture his king first.

Thor's hammer, which had returned to its original position, inflicted secondary damage on the swarm of insects in the air. Amidst the shrieks of the insects, it returned to its ammunition depot to reload and prepare for another launch.

This was the first layer of firepower that Zhou Xiao originally designed for the Spear of Adun. It was a self-circulating shell with enormous power that could fire, return, and reload itself.

But the Spear of Adun certainly doesn't only have this one move.

The old fleet continued to approach the route to the Palace in the Forest, with the dragons and insect swarms locked in fierce combat, and no clear victor could be determined for the time being.

But after this series of oppressive attacks, the Spear of Adun was close enough to the Palace in the Woods to begin to reach its planetary surface.

As the range approached, the mid-range bomb launchers and rear-end laser launchers of the Spear of Adun began to be arranged in sequence, targeting the surface of the Forest Palace.

A barrage of firepower suddenly rose from the vacuum and rained down on the surface of that massive planet.

What burst forth from the Spear of Adun were countless Zerg worms and Hellfires!

Thanks to Zhou Xiao's modifications, the mid-range and rear-end weapons of this mothership have long been transformed into exploding bug launchers and hellfire launchers. Once used, they will launch a suicide-style dense attack of exploding bugs on the target ground, while also launching hellfires for a wide-area strike.

Zerg's Banelings are inherently powerful, and their threat multiplies when they are numerous, not to mention when they attack in a barrage.

As for Hellfire, after the initial wave of barrages, Hellfire appears as the final attack method, delivering a final, decisive blow to the target location within a time-limited summoning period.

The Spear of Adun alone is enough to launch a devastating attack on a small planet.

The simultaneous fire coverage from the front, middle, and rear began to take effect. As the large fleet approached, the Spear of Adun and the other starships had a significant effect on the surface of the Forest Palace. A large number of elven allied forces were sunk before they could even take off, and many areas were engulfed in flames.

In defense, the Norse gods had to return from the surrounding planets to stop the dragon horde and the great fleet from continuing to approach the atmosphere of the Forest Palace.

"The objective has been achieved. My Goddess of Conflict has left and they are heading back to defend the Palace in the Forest." Freya, who was on the satellite, watched as her opponents flew away from the battlefield and immediately reported to the Magic Network.

"Me too, Ullr the Winter God has also run away, heading towards the Palace in the Forest as well." Soon, the same information came through the magic network.

“It seems they’ve started focusing all their attention on the defense of the Forest Palace. We’ve bought them a lot of time. Now it’s up to the children to see how they perform.” Freya looked intently at the unusually large Forest Palace.

"Children? They are now warriors who have surpassed us." Tain laughed in the Magic Network channel.

Having traversed the stars and experienced the War of Helheim, the War of the Gods, and the Civil War of the Alliance of Gods, these Primarchs have personally experienced war, the loss of their brothers, and the confrontation with death. Now, they are certainly no longer the ignorant children they once were.

On the Forest Palace, engulfed in war, four Great Old Ones were infiltrating different areas, silently searching for the location of the Star God Embryo.

Because they had gotten too close to the core of the enemy's network, they could no longer use the magic network to communicate or seek help after entering the Forest Palace to avoid being discovered prematurely. In other words, they were now left to search for something they themselves didn't even know looked like on this strange and enormous planet, all on their own.

Nordens swam across the sea, wielding the Sword of Aatrox, overseeing the search of all the seas. Hastur landed in the most desolate region of the planet, searching from the farthest reaches toward the capital.

Tindaros primarily searched for clues along the mountain range, while Gatanottoa was responsible for searching in the most dangerous area—near the Hall of the Gods.

The Hall of the Gods is located in the heart of the capital, near the throne area of ​​the God of Abundance and the Goddess of Fertility. The Alliance of Gods usually holds meetings there for any discussions. Although the gods have all gone to heaven to fight the enemy, it doesn't mean that the hall is empty.

Gatanothoa walked along the forest toward the palace, searching for anything that would respond to the power of faith. These Great Old Ones were born to be perfect vessels for the power of faith, possessing a perception far superior to others in this regard.

As he continued his investigation and progress, he quickly eliminated the forests and gardens near the Hall of the Gods and began to move toward the interior of the hall.

The fleet's attack in outer space was very effective; even from here, far from the direction of the attack, Gatanothoa could still hear the sounds of battle and the rumbling of the earth from afar.

For this reason, the defenses of this Hall of Gods were indeed very weak. He hardly spent any time and quickly entered the interior of the hall, exploring deeper and deeper.

He could sense that there was a highly concentrated force of faith within the hall. As he approached, this feeling became more and more pronounced, and the ground beneath his feet became increasingly restless, pulsating with each step.

In the palace in the forest, everything is connected to the goddess of fertility and the goddess of abundance. Legend has it that their divine authority has long been intertwined with this planet, allowing them to perceive almost everything on it.

Now it seems the legend was indeed true.

Pushing open the door, what appeared before Gatanottoa was not the Star God embryo he had expected, but a huge and alluring body, half-lying on the ground like a humanoid plant growing from the ground.

Queen Victoria, the goddess of fertility and queen of the fairy kingdom, is prominently featured here.

Many Norse deities went to confront the ancient chosen ones and their fleet, including even the god of fertility, but the goddess of fertility was not among them.

This queen remained in the palace in the forest from beginning to end, because she knew very well that what the other side wanted was not war, but her stellar computer, the embryo that was conceiving the star god.

"Child of the past, have you lost your way?" The goddess of fertility spoke, causing thousands of voices to resound simultaneously in the room, as if a thousand people were chanting in unison, which was chilling.

“You’re the one I’ve been looking for.” Gatanothoa showed no surprise, instead calmly drawing his longsword and spreading his wings.

The Palace in the Forest is almost the size of a dozen red giant stars, and it is a living planet deeply bound to the divine authority of the other side. It would be impossible for the four of them to find the stellar computer in such a vast place.

Therefore, Gatanothoa was not looking for the stellar computer from the beginning, but rather this goddess of fertility who had never appeared in the war.
