I Am the Minecraft Master, Not the God of Light!

Chapter 200. The Wheel of Fortune Turns, The Death-Fearing Demon Gods

Giant Mountain Forest.

As a place long occupied by demons, it had already become dilapidated after years of their ravages.

Though called a mountain forest, under the demons' blood irrigation, it looked more like a black ore mountain pushed up from underground, as barren and dead as the surrounding land.

It was stark and bare, with blood-red crystals sometimes growing wildly like weeds, interspersed with countless ravines and valleys. Anyone who saw it would say this was a strategically vital ambush location.

The mountain ranges were dangerously rugged, with sheer cliffs dropping hundreds, even thousands of meters, everywhere.

Building a city in such a place would undoubtedly make it impenetrable.

And if a large army wanted to conquer this place, cavalry would be useless, and air forces ineffective.

This was a natural battlefield for mountain guerrilla warfare.

At that time, to conquer this place, the demons paid a heavy price in blood, and it was ultimately done by numerous Divine-level beings personally taking action.

This was also the main battlefield where the Hundred Races fought a war of maneuver and guerrilla tactics in the past.

And now...

The wheel of fortune had turned. The once invincible demons were now reduced to relying on the terrain here to fight guerrilla warfare and buy time.

Anyone who saw this couldn't help but remark on the unpredictability of life...

Of course, for the demons themselves to say it, it was quite frustrating.

"Where is the Dawn Church's army?"

Deep within the Giant Mountain Forest's deepest ravine, in the demon main camp, sat a demon Divine Authority on the main seat. He had bull horns and two pairs of demon wings on his back, his aura as deep as an abyss.

Just by sitting there, the space around him was permeated with a hazy, distorted glow.

One of the Intermediate Gods of the Domain of Arrogance, Julius.

He was among the first batch of Intermediate Gods deployed to the Roderick Continent.

After the demons learned that the Dawn Church was launching a full-scale invasion, the Original Abyss began extensively drawing upon world origin.

But even so, the descent of an Intermediate God was a heavy burden on the Original Abyss. The arrival of Julius, two Lower Gods, and two True Gods drained the world origin of a small world in one go.

For the demons, the cost was considerable.

However, in the eyes of the Eternal Degenerates, it was well worth it.

The Roderick Continent was nothing; the focus was on defeating the Dawn Church, winning this divine war, and defending the demons' position in the world jungle.

Moreover...

If the Dawn Church was defeated and the divine authorities of their Divine Authorities were extracted, this would be more profitable for the demons than devouring three great worlds.

Perhaps it could double the number of Demon Kings in one fell swoop.

For this, the demons were also giving their all in this divine war.

The Lower God demon sitting below Julius looked at the intelligence report and frowned:

"This morning, a small demon squad was annihilated by the Dawn Church's Crusader vanguard. Counting the time... they should have arrived by now."

Another Lower God hesitated for a moment.

"Could they have bypassed the Giant Mountain Forest and gone straight for Gluttony City? After all, fighting here clearly doesn't give them an advantage..."

Julius mused for a long time, quietly exhaling.

"It's not impossible... But no matter what, our mission is just to buy time. We only need to wait three more days, and the Original Abyss will be able to deploy the Demon Kings to descend."

"By then, the counterattack will begin."

Hearing this, the four Divine Authorities also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be better if the Dawn Church didn't fight here and went directly to Gluttony City.

Although Gluttony City might be destroyed, what did that have to do with them?

They weren't Divine Authorities of the Domain of Gluttony.

Furthermore, destroying Gluttony City wasn't that easy either. If the delay was long enough, the Demon Kings would descend, and they could return to coordinate.

It would be safer if the Dawn Church's Crusader vanguard was directly trapped in Gluttony City.

Unlike ordinary demons, the demon Divine Authorities did not approach this divine war, which was completely unknown regarding the enemy's strength, strategy, and level, with an optimistic attitude.

They were gods, so they understood the terror of Divine Authorities more than other demons. They were even less willing to die.

Unless absolutely necessary, and unless they fully understood the enemy's situation, Divine Authorities would never rashly attack.

After all, they had lived for a very long time, experiencing too many privileges brought by power. Barring any accidents, they could live even longer and enjoy even more privileges.

Fear of death was the most consistent characteristic of demon Divine Authorities.

If the Eternal Degenerates hadn't personally overseen the battle, they wouldn't have been willing to get involved in the mess of the Roderick Continent at all.

The Dawn Church is powerful?

Just avoid them, then. There are so many worlds in the world jungle; there's no need to keep targeting the Roderick Continent.

War inevitably leads to death, and divine war is no different.

Who could guarantee they wouldn't be the one to die?

Cultivating diligently for tens of thousands of years, how unlucky would it be to fall here?

Furthermore, the Dawn Church had already shown power capable of threatening Divine Authorities, even defeating Demon Kings.

Sea God Lockia's attack crossed the abyss and slapped the King of Envy.

The God of Life Fenghuang roasted the King of Arrogance's head.

That Dawn Pope even cut off the King of Arrogance's arm as a trophy.

It was still uncertain if the Dawn Church had other Divine Authorities, but just these three...

They were enough to pose a fatal threat to ordinary Divine Authorities like them.

If they could avoid fighting, they naturally hoped to avoid it.

Moreover, although the intelligence said no Dawn Church Divine Authorities were found overseeing the battle, thinking about it logically, was that possible?

They crossed the chasm to fight in demon territory, knowing they would face the demons' frantic revenge, and they wouldn't send a god to accompany them?

Based on what they currently knew about the Dawn Church Pope, the other side shouldn't be that foolish.

These Dawn Church Crusaders must have a god following them, but the other side hadn't shown themselves, and...

It was also unclear which god was following.

If it was Lockia, Julius felt confident that in demon territory, with the Original Abyss's blessing, he could fight.

If it was Fenghuang, he would have to figure out how to escape so as not to be held accountable by the Demon Kings and Eternal Degenerates.

There was no other way; the power of the God of Life was the natural enemy of demons.

Even if the other side was a Lower God, relying on the authority of life would be enough to deal with him.

And judging by how the other side's life flame could injure the King of Arrogance, it was likely an Intermediate God.

And a very powerful Intermediate God at that.

The King of Arrogance was, after all, a Peak Higher God, with a vast difference in strength compared to an Intermediate God.

Considering this, Julius had to pray in his heart that he wouldn't encounter the Dawn Church's Crusaders.

He looked up at the moonlight filtering through the mountain forest ravines. In the moonlight, the sides of the mountain forest swayed like dense weeds in the wind.

But those were all demon armies.

Besides one Intermediate God, two Lower Gods, and two True Gods on this expedition.

There were also five ordinary God-level beings and a million elite demons from the Seven Sins Domains.

But Julius always remembered that his mission was only to buy time, waiting for the Demon Kings to descend three days later.

Three days...

Relying on the Giant Mountain Forest should be enough to hold them off... right?

Thinking this, Julius couldn't help but feel a sense of ominous foreboding.

A god's intuition was always accurate. Julius prepared for the worst.

He quietly glanced at the crystal core in his hand. This was given to him by the King of Arrogance.

As one of the few Intermediate Gods in the Domain of Arrogance, the King of Arrogance didn't want Julius to fall here.

If the situation became unmanageable, just quietly relocate. Anyway, after the Giant Mountain Forest was breached, it would be Gluttony City facing the Dawn Church army directly.

There was no need to sacrifice for the Gluttony Demon King.

After a long period of contemplation, Julius still couldn't suppress the tremor in his heart and looked at a God-level being below him.

"You, lead a team to scout."

"Yes! Lord Julius!"

The God-level being dared not resist and quickly left the main camp.

"Lord Julius, is there a problem?"

A Lower God from the Domain of Greed asked. Julius shook his head.

"I'm not sure... But it's always right to gather some information."

The Lower God said uncertainly:

"The Dawn Church has been quiet for so long, they might have already bypassed the Giant Mountain Forest..."

"Let's hope so."

Julius didn't say more. For some reason, he always felt the air inside the main camp was a bit oppressive, making it hard for him to breathe.

He simply got up and walked outside to inspect the army again.

Several Divine Authorities quickly followed, lifting the tent flap ahead of him.

"Thump!"

The sound of a heavy object falling suddenly struck everyone's heart. A moment later, the True God walking in front finally raised a hand to wipe the black blood from his face.

The expressions of the many demon Divine Authorities changed dramatically as they looked down at the source of the sound.

The body of the God-level demon who had left not long ago was twisted, his eyes staring at the sky in death.

Following his gaze, demon bodies began to rain down from the sky...

"Enemy attack!!!"
