Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

More than 5,000 powerful kings appeared like divine soldiers descending from the sky, a million kilometers away. Without the slightest hesitation, they instantly locked onto the direction of the demon race's camp.

The Heavy Mace King raised his heavy mace high, his roar echoing through the starry sky: "Everyone, prepare for a saturation attack!"

"kill!"

The divine power of more than 5,000 king-level experts erupted simultaneously, forming an energy torrent with a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers. Countless attacks of various laws intertwined and surged toward the demon race camp.

"Defend! Defend now!" King Xiaoyue's eyes were bloodshot.

The demon kings quickly formed a formation, and a divine power barrier lit up, but how could such a hasty defense withstand the combined attack of more than five thousand kings?

"Crack—Boom!"

The first layer of divine power barrier shattered like glass, then the second, the third...

The torrent of energy ruthlessly tore through the defenses and crashed into the center of the demon race's camp.

"ah--!"

"No!"

"Help me—!"

Heart-wrenching screams rose and fell.

With a single strike, the divine bodies of over 1,500 King-level experts in the demon race camp were annihilated, with almost all those below the high-level King level wiped out.

Although the remaining thousand or so demon kings barely withstood the attack, they were all exhausted. Even the least injured among them had lost more than 30% of their divine bodies, resulting in a significant loss of combat power.

The entire battlefield fell silent after this attack. All the powerful figures from all factions stopped fighting and stared in horror at the armies of the human race and the Hong Alliance.

The more than 5,000 kings were in perfect formation, their killing intent soaring to the sky.

Four invincible kings stood before the battle, their auras locked onto three invincible kings of the demon race. The battlefield, which had been filled with deafening battle cries just moments before, was now only filled with the buzzing of energy aftershocks and the groans of the seriously wounded.

Silence, dead silence.

After a long silence, the Amethyst King spoke first: "The Heavy Mace King, the Cloud Water King, the Sky Rift King, the Heart Mark King... the human race truly has a grand scheme."

King Heavy Mace stepped forward and said in a steady voice, "King Amethyst, this is a feud between the human race and the demon race, and has nothing to do with the Crystal Race. If you withdraw from the battlefield now, the human race will not stop you."

The Amethyst King's single eye flashed as he looked at the other invincible kings beside him, exchanging rapid thoughts.

"We can't win." Yaohua King of the Mechanical Race extinguished the burning passion in the hearts of these invincible kings with cold data: "The human race has a total of 5,000 troops, and there are four invincible kings leading the army. They are obviously well prepared."

The Zerg Queen Yuna was still somewhat unwilling: "But this precious treasure..."

"The Sky-Splitting Claw is no longer our concern," the Amethyst King interrupted her directly. "The demon race sent the Underworld King to set up a trap with a valuable treasure. Even if things go wrong now, the treasure won't be ours. Do you really want to be targeted by Venerable Jiaoyun?"

Once these words were spoken, even the deepest resentment had to be suppressed. If the other party were just an ordinary Universe Venerable, then the treasure would be taken without hesitation. But facing a powerful overlord who roamed the universe, not many Kings wouldn't feel intimidated.

Just then, a lone, invincible king transmitted his voice: "If we join forces with the demon race now, we might still have a fighting chance. At the very least, we can stir up trouble and seize an opportunity to gain some benefits."

"Join forces?"

The Star Alliance's King of Invincible sneered, "We were just fighting to the death with them, and now you want to join forces?"

Let alone whether the demon race believes it or not, do we, the people ourselves, believe it?

With such a treasure before us, who would dare entrust their back to the enemy they just faced?

All the invincible kings fell silent.

They have too few troops, and they have already formed deep grudges with the demon race's powerful warriors during the previous battle, so it is impossible for them to genuinely join forces now.

The Amethyst King took a deep breath and turned to the Heavy Mace King: "Crystal Clan, withdraw from this competition."

Yao Hua Wang's electronic eyes flashed: "Mechanical race, withdraw."

Yuna gave a bitter smile: "The Zerg... are withdrawing."

The Star Alliance's King of Kings and two Lone Wolf Kings of Kings have also made their statements.

In just a few words, all the major factions that had been fighting the demon race just moments before chose to retreat.

King Chongjian nodded slightly: "Please proceed."

He did not stop him.

Although our side has a numerical advantage, it does not have an overwhelming advantage.

If the strongmen of these factions are forcibly kept and forced to join forces with the demon race in a desperate battle, even if the human race wins, it will pay a heavy price.

It would be better to let them retreat, and then focus on dealing with those scheming demons.

……

Several invincible kings led their respective factions' strongest warriors and quickly retreated, leaving only the demon and human armies facing off on the battlefield.

An invisible spatial fluctuation rose from the human camp and quickly enveloped the entire battlefield.

The four invincible kings, namely King Chongjian, King Yunshui, King Liekong, and King Xinhen, attacked simultaneously, setting up layers upon layers of spatial blockade, turning this star field into a huge prison.

"Humans... what a clever trap!" King Xiaoyue stared intently at the five thousand soldiers, his voice icy. "From the moment Fei Tu set this up, you've been waiting for this moment, haven't you?"

King Heavy Mace stepped forward, his dark golden mace slung over his shoulder: "King Howling Moon, when your demon race used powerful treasures to set a trap to ambush my human race's geniuses, you should have expected this day to come."

"A genius?" King Tongji sneered. "A rat who only knows how to use poison to ambush others dares to call himself a genius?"

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; why bother with words?" King Rift Sky ignored the other's words and said in a deep voice, "Let the elite demons of the Ninth Battlefield remain here today."

"Should we stay?"

The Giant-Headed King unleashed its nine arms and claws simultaneously, its ferocious aura soaring into the sky. "You bunch of cowards who cower in the back and try to take advantage? Fei Tu was killed in a sneak attack. In a head-on fight, who among you can stand against my demon race?"

"Enough with the nonsense!" the Heavy Mace King roared. "Everyone, prepare for a saturation attack!"

"kill!"

The divine power of more than 5,000 king-level experts erupted once again, and an even more condensed torrent of energy surged forth.

"Form ranks! Counterattack!" Howling Moon King roared.

Although the remaining thousand or so demon kings were all wounded, they also unleashed their ferocity in the face of life and death.

They quickly formed battle formations, and their divine power converged wildly.

"Moon Wheel - Thousand Cracks!" King Xiaoyue unleashed his dark silver crescent blade, the treasure's light blazing brightly, further amplifying the divine power gathered by the demon army.

A torrent of energy, mixed with countless silver moon blades, surged out from the demon race's camp. Although its scale was smaller than that of the human race, it was incomparably sharp with the support of powerful treasures.

Two destructive torrents collided violently in the starry sky!

Rumble!

At the center of the collision, space shattered layer by layer, forming a void black hole with a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers, which devoured all light and energy.

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards, its aftershocks crushing the nearby shattered continent into dust.

At the front of the demon race's camp, the Giant-Headed King stepped forward, and a layer of earthen-yellow divine power barrier unfolded in front of him.

"Djinn Yu!"

The residual energy waves crashed against the barrier, producing a dull rumble.

The Giant Skull King's divine body trembled slightly, but it ultimately received the blow steadily.

On the human side, the four invincible kings also used their respective methods to resolve the aftershocks of the backlash.

In their first exchange of blows, both sides were evenly matched.

"As expected..." King Yunshui sighed softly, his body surrounded by water mist. "The demon race has a massive divine body, giving them a natural advantage in total divine power. With the added boost of powerful treasures, it is indeed not easy to achieve victory in one strike."

The edges of the Sky-Splitting King's wings shimmered with silver light: "It's alright, if it doesn't work the first time, try ten times, or even a hundred times."

They outnumber us by less than a fifth; even with immense divine power, they cannot withstand such attrition.

"Continue." King Heartmark closed his eyes, but the sword mark between his brows shone even brighter.

The second wave of combined attacks followed immediately.

The demon race once again gathered divine power to counterattack. The light of Howling Moon King's crescent blade was not as brilliant as the first time, clearly indicating that continuously activating the powerful treasure was also a considerable burden for him.

boom!

In the second clash, several smaller-sized high-ranking deities in the demon race suffered severe damage to their power, their divine bodies completely disintegrated, and they perished on the spot.

"Hold on!" King Tongji's spiraling pupils spun wildly as he struggled to stabilize the morale of his troops. "Reinforcements are on their way. Just hold on for another half an hour."

The third combined attack.

Several more demon kings perished, and the divine power of the demon camp was noticeably weakened. The aftershocks of the collision even caused cracks to appear in the Giant King's divine body.

"Damn it..." King Xiaoyue's eyes were bloodshot. "If this continues, we'll be wiped out in less than half an hour."

The Giant-Headed King growled, "Then what do we do? Charge out and fight?"

"We can't get out." King Tongji's voice was hoarse. "The spatial blockade was set up by those four invincible human kings. It can't be broken in a short time."

The fourth combined attack is already in the works.

Behind the human camp, a figure quietly emerged; it was none other than Lin Yuan's clone, Sword King Han Li.

He stood at the rear of the army, his gaze fixed on the towering figure who always came out to block the aftershocks.

"Now!" Lin Yuan flicked his finger, and a grain of purple sand mixed into the energy torrent before rushing towards the demon race.

"put!"

The heavy mace king's roar was like a thunderclap.

The fourth destructive torrent surged forth, its power three times greater than the previous three. The kings of the Hong Alliance had gradually become familiar with the rhythm of the combined attack, and their coordination was becoming increasingly tacit.

"Stop them!" King Xiaoyue gritted his teeth and activated the crescent blade. The remaining eight hundred or so kings of the demon race desperately squeezed out their last bit of divine power.

boom!

This collision was more devastating than any of the previous ones.

The demon race's divine power surged and crumbled the moment it made contact with the seven-colored torrent.

The crescent blade let out a mournful cry, its light dimmed, and it flew back, blood spilling from the corner of Howling Moon King's mouth.

The remaining 30% of the energy surge continued to rush towards the demon race's camp.

"I'll go!" the Giant King roared and stepped forward again, frantically burning his divine power, causing the earthen-yellow barrier to expand rapidly.

Rumble!

The torrent of energy crashed against the barrier, tearing it apart moments later, but the Giant-Headed King ultimately managed to stop it.

Just as the aftershocks of the energy were about to dissipate, the purple grain of sand had silently adhered to his divine body along with the energy wave behind him.

Soul-dispersing sand!

"Huh?" The Giant Skull King's body stiffened abruptly.

An indescribable, excruciating pain exploded from the depths of his soul, instantly engulfing his entire consciousness.

"Ughhhhhh—!"

A heart-wrenching scream erupted, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

"A giant skull!" King Xiaoyue and King Tongji turned their heads in horror.

The colossal body of the Giant Skull King began to convulse uncontrollably, its aura waning like an avalanche.

"Soul attack! It's Han Li!" King Tongji's spiral pupils shrank abruptly, the scene before him exactly the same as when King Mingcang Feicha fell!

The Howling Moon King's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He wanted to rush over to help, but the Giant Skull King's soul had already begun to dissipate.

In just three breaths.

As the wailing ceased, the divine light in the other's eyes completely went out.

Of the three invincible kings of the demon race, one has already passed away!

"Han Li!" Howling Moon King roared to the sky, his voice filled with boundless hatred, "You get out here!"

The remaining seven hundred-plus demon kings were also enraged, their fear and anger driving them to the brink of madness.

"It's that poison-using bastard!"

"He's here again! He's here again!"

"Avenge Lord Hades! Avenge Lord Giant-Skull King!"

However, the frantic shouts could not change the course of the battle.

The human faction gave them no chance to breathe, and the fifth wave of combined attacks was already brewing.

"It's over..."

Despair appeared in Tongji King's eyes. "With Han Li's strange soul poison, we can't defend against it at all. We'll just be picked off one by one."

The Howling Moon King's golden vertical pupils gleamed with bloodlust. He glared fiercely at the remaining demon kings behind him, his divine sense exploding like thunder: "Everyone, listen to my command! Since they can't escape, then make them pay the price!"

"Burn divine power! Prepare for self-destruction!"

"Even if I die, I'll take them with me!"

The more than seven hundred demon kings were all shocked at the same time, and then their eyes flashed with hysterical determination.

"roar--!!!"

"Self-destruct! Self-destruct!"

"Let's die together!"
