Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 943 Those who can't leverage their connections are mediocre.

The Anemone Forest, at the base of a giant petrified anemone that is hundreds of meters tall.

"General Vorenzo, this is the battlefield where the latest patrol was wiped out."

Several Naga captains respectfully reported.

The Naga general, known as "Vorrenzo," was a burly man with bulging muscles. Deep blue scales covered his back and shoulders, and he held a bipedal fork and a coral rosary in his four arms.

General Vorenzo bent down and gently rubbed the bloodstains on the ground with his fingers.

"Shalin, what do you think?"

"Shalin" is actually the code name of Prince Rothergal, the No. 2 Sea Prince.

Upon hearing General Vorenzo's question, Prince Rothergal calmly replied, "This is most likely a conspiracy by human adventurers, who want to lure out the strongest members of their race by gradually consuming small groups of troops... such as you, General Naga!"

General Vorenzo frowned and said, "Human adventurers aren't very strong. Even if they lure me out, they're no match for me. Unless the Empire's regular army comes, but by then we would have already gotten wind of it and evacuated."

As the two were talking, the ground suddenly shook, and runes flashing with holy light shot into the sky.

General Vorenzo, Prince Rothergal, and the dozen or so Naga guards accompanying them were all enveloped by this holy light!

A large circle, several hundred meters in diameter, shimmered with divine light, transforming into a closed protective barrier.

Outside the barrier array, one Awakened One after another appeared, standing before the key nodes of the barrier array, injecting their professional energy to maintain the strength of the barrier array.

"who?"

General Vorenzo roared and thrust out his trident. A spiraling water blade, like two coiled snakes, struck heavily on the sacred barrier array.

The barrier array trembled, the inner layer collapsed, and the attack landed on the second layer, creating ripples of pale gold.

However, this attack was still blocked without hesitation! The barrier array actually has three layers.

Sardin, clad in silver armor, appeared and said with a smile, "Don't waste your energy. This is a demon-trapping barrier specially crafted for ascended leaders... So what if it has high priority? We'll win with numbers!"

Prince Rothergal glanced at Sardin: "You are the chosen ones of the Temple of the Covenant? Why are you interfering in the war between us, the Guts and Gaia?"

"Hehe, although we come from the Temple of the Covenant and have received holy baptism since childhood, we are not the chosen people. We are the pure and upright Major General Gaia."

Sardin looked at Prince Rothergal and said with a sneer, "Which chosen one of the Guts are you? You're unlucky to have run into us."

"You gave up your right to vote just to infiltrate the Gaia Group? That's utterly foolish! Don't be fooled by your current success and privileges. When your gods clash with Gaia's will and you have to make a choice... you'll pay the price!"

Neither the gods nor the will of Gaia are benevolent.

Gods certainly have countermeasures against their chosen people and are not afraid of betrayal.

Gaia's will did not punish its own awakened members for their betrayal; it merely revoked Gaia Major General's status—the Gaia Mark—and repaid everything it had gained from the spirit world.

"What do you mean by 'infiltration'? Our Covenant Temple has a very good relationship with the Gaia Group." Sadin smiled slightly. "The Gaia Group is inclusive and has countless factions within it. In the Silver Heart Great World alone, there are many pure-blooded organizations such as the Yazd Red Race, the Mangites Green Race, the Boto Grey Race, and the Morpheus Blue Race. Do you think the Gaia Group's higher-ups don't know this?"

"Our Holy Covenant Temple is just a slightly special faction within the Gaia Group!"

"As for a war between our Holy Covenant and the Will of Gaia, that's simply impossible. Aside from you bunch of lunatics who disemboweled yourselves, who would go against the Four Great Wills? You're just plain crazy!"

"Then there's no need for further words."

Prince Rothergal said calmly, "So it was your Covenant team that assassinated the Naga scouts, trying to lure out a Naga leader so you could ambush them, right? You guys are no match for them."

Sardin shook his head: "It's not just our Covenant team that's plotting against you. There are at least two other forces that have done the same thing as us, which is why the commotion is so big and why the Naga General was able to be summoned in such a short time."

"So you rushed out first? Aren't you afraid that the battle will drag on for a long time, and the other two sides will come after you and reap the benefits?" Prince Rothergal's psychological warfare tactics were quite effective.

Sardin, however, didn't care about all that: "Don't worry, we can't delay it. Our Covenant team is much larger than just the people you see here!"

A series of chaotic footsteps sounded, and several groups of humans emerged from behind the giant petrified anemones in the Anemone Forest.

"Kill these Naga! They have Imperial bounties on their hands!"

"Lord Gallius has decreed that whoever obtains the head of a Naga general can be promoted to nobility! The heads of the other Naga captains and soldiers can be exchanged for magic crystals!"

"Leave one or two alive and force them to reveal the coordinates of the magic crystal mine..."

These groups of people gathered together, numbering in the hundreds.

“An indigenous exploration team? And adventurers too?” Prince Lorthergard frowned. “To be able to gather so many indigenous people to help you… the power of your Covenant is truly not to be underestimated.”

Sardin laughed: "As an awakened one, if you can't draw on the strength and resources of the natives and can only rely on yourself to fight alone, then you are a mediocre person!"

Among these groups of indigenous people are several awakened members of the Covenant team. It is their secret instigation, coupled with some subtle spiritual manipulation abilities, that has led to the current situation where four or five hundred people are besieging General Vorenzo of the Naga.

Prince Rothergal said coldly, "You're celebrating too soon!"

Beside Prince Lor'thergal, a Naga suddenly revealed his true form as an octopus sea creature! He tore at the air with both hands, and a curtain was lifted from the void.

The scene that Sardin and the others saw was like a false painting, pulled aside and vanished without a trace.

“This is…” Sardin and the other members of the Covenant were shocked.

Before them stood a hundred Naga personal guards! These half-human, half-snake guards stood around Naga General Vorenzo, their vertical pupils gleaming with malice, holding sharp blades as they stared at them.

"You actually used a rudimentary illusion-type skill to hide a Naga army!" Sardin's lips trembled slightly. Despicable, utterly despicable!
Prince Lorthergal sneered: "You said it yourself, that as an Awakened One, if you can't draw strength from the natives and can only rely on yourself to fight alone, then you're a mediocre person! If it weren't for the limited coverage of the 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' true meaning prototype under my command, which can only hide a hundred Naga guards... Hmph!"

"Don't panic!"

Seeing the wavering in his ranks, Sadin immediately spoke up to reassure them: "No matter what, the battle force is five hundred men against one hundred, and the advantage is on our side!"
