Chapter 716 Once-In-A-Lifetime
It was only obvious that they wanted to hide the fact that more than two dozen Ancient True Gods with the combat prowess ot Ancients and Primordials had joined Dilan's forces.
At the same time, it was even more apparent that they wanted to hide how big their overall forces would grow after four months.
Dilan wanted that the Ancients, Primordials, and everyone else who was against him would face a great surprise the moment the Chaos Obelisks were to be installed.
However, it was only obvious that not everything could be hidden.
It didn't make any sense that everyone could hide everything that happened. The Ancients and Primordials were not stupid, after all!
Dilan didn't expect a miracle to happen. That was also why he chose to share falsified information.
Everyone said that the Chaos Obelisks would be installed five months after the Abandoned Children split up to gather more allies.
However, the truth was that it would only require four months.
That way, there shouldn't be too many issues to take care of at the same time. The Ancients and Primordials wouldn't allow anyone to put restrictions on them if it was not desperately needed.
With the prideful attitude of most Ancients and Primordials in his mind, Dilan could tell that they would rather spend five months preparing their own forces instead of fighting on their own accord.
That was not what one would expect from the strongest powerhouses of the known Universe because they ought to be mighty and fight for themselves rather than watching everything from above.
At least, that was what one might expect, in a situation like this. Something that had never happened before was happening right in front of their eyes. The Universe's Fate had chosen a single individual, a newborn human, instead of the Primordials and Ancients who had shown their worth and strength a long time ago.
They should be enraged enough to join the battlefield on their own.
But interestingly enough that was not the case. They didn't want to accept the restrictions which the Primordial Ascension would put on them.
Why did Dilan know something like that? The answer to this was too simple.
The Primordial Ascension's system provided a list of the beings who had emerged on Milarn while facing restrictions. That was a list Dilan had known nothing about for quite a while, and it was necessary for the Queen of Immortality to message him about its existence.
Not many knew about the existence of such a list, probably not even all Primordials or Ancients. However, that was what made this list even more precious.
After all, Dilan and his people were able to tell how many opponents had emerged on Milarn by subtracting the total number of their restricted people from what they saw on the list.
There was always one Ascender taking a look at the list and he was updating it every few minutes. The updates were screenshotted and sent in the Divinity Messenger to make sure that everyone would be able to see the number of 'highly-likely' opponents.
Four months later when Dilan returned to the flying island for the first time in more than two years, he found himself in a completely changed place.
The tension all over the flying island was high enough to pressure the weakest Ascenders and to inflict fear within the unawakened. Babies were crying and even the younger humans couldn't help but start shivering.
The children were trying their best not to cry but crocodile tears trickled down their cheeks because they were so afraid.
War had yet to start but everyone could tell that it would soon begin. Hardly anyone was not afraid of death and the initiation of today's event was likely to cause the death of millions, if not billions.
However, it was not possible to stop anymore. Everything had been prepared, and the war would break out whether they would try stopping it right now, or they would actively initiate it.
Too many races sought blood and they would fight no matter what was about to happen.
The only missing piece to start the war and conquer Milarn in its entirety was to lead everyone through the designated Gates all over Milarn.
Countless beings would emerge through the Gates all over Milarn the moment Dilan and the others were to give the command. Everyone was afraid but they were also prepared to fight with their lives on the line.
They were prepared to take revenge for everything that had been done to them. It was finally time to take revenge, for the first time in forever…and probably the last time.
Today's events were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Taking a look at Old Jeff's workshop, he saw the last Chaos Obelisk. There was a distinct red tone in the darkish-purple color of the Chaos Obelisk. It was the only Chaos Obelisk that looked different.
This was Dilan's Chaos Obelisk, and he touched it without hesitation before storing it inside his storage ring.
"Are the others ready?" He asked while turning around. Dilan saw Ariel Silvertale and his sisters standing in the doorframe of Old Jeff's workshop. Each of them was fully equipped and ready to fight
"The others are ready…as ready as you can be before a war against the Ancients and Primordials," Ariel answered, which caused Dilan to smile lightly.
"Lara, Marie. Go to the Queen's Image and stay there with the others until everything is done!" Dilan ordered which caused his sisters to stare daggers at him.
"We're strong enough to join the fight! We don't want to stay around and be useless!" Marie retorted just for Dilan to shake his head.
"You have to protect the flying island and millions of humans and monsters, who're scared shitless…" He said, his eyes gleaming in seriousness.
"...who said that's being useless? It's the most important to protect them! It's only something you guys can do!"
