Chapter 2884: They Disappeared!
After sending those few spaceships and forcing some of the Lisan Universe Semi-Celestials to leave the battlefield, Garisan didn't waste time and attacked Lisan's main force near the
Foundation Pillar. Even though acquiring the Chaos Orign Source became harder, Lisan Universe didn't know if Garisan had other methods, so half of the army spread through the three realms was there at the Pillar.
Flavio and Lucas had their spies in the Universe after the failure of the Omni Vortex, so it wasn't any secret that Lisan had a lot of experts there. Lucas didn't bring as many experts as the ones Flavio lost during the first attack. However, the cultivators, demon beasts, devils, angels, spirits, etc, that Lucas brought had higher cultivation overall. Simply put, the lower number but much higher quality of Garisan's troops made their attack a lot more fearsome to deal with.
Garisan didn't want to give Lisan Universe a chance to gather the rest of its forces spread in the three realms. Before the armies in the Heavens and Underworld could make their way to the Foundation Pillar, Lucas and Flavio planned to give the armies in the Foundation Pillar a fatal blow. If possible, completely wipe them out before the others arrive.
"Their army is concentrated. Should we use the Star Ray?" Lucas asked Flavio as they communicated with each other's spaceships outside the Universe.
Flavio had fallen for the traps laid by the Lisan Universe various times when he first attacked. Not to mention, he had used the Star Ray once, so he immediately gave up the idea. "No. You read the reports of the first battle a few years ago. There is no way they wouldn't think about the Star Ray. If anything, this might be a plot to force us to use the Star Ray instead. They managed to escape the Star Ray before, after all."
Lucas agreed. Back then, the top experts instantly sent all the armies into their various Pocket Dimensional Realms and left the Star Ray area of effect. Now that the armies from Lisan Universe were even more packed, they should be able to use the same method even faster. "They probably are that close to each other exactly to deal with the Star Ray then."
"It is possible," Flavio agreed with him. "But that is also good for us. They will have less space to maneuver their forces. Let's drop all farce and clash head-on. We have a huge advantage in both numbers and technology."
Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Didn't our spies mention something about them finding some way to repurpose our armors for themselves? They took the armors from the experts they killed and somehow managed to get past the DNA bound."
"It is not a problem," Flavio wasn't too concerned. "Most of the armors they acquired were already damaged and mostly spent for obvious reasons. They got it from dead bodies, after all. The countless micro-circuitry runes that make our armors can only be produced by ourselves. I would already be surprised if they managed to get even 20% of them working."
Lucas had to admit Flavio's words made sense. "That's true. It is about time. I'll take care of the right side of their forces; you engage the left side."
"Very well," Flavio accepted.
As the Garisan Universe approached, Flavio didn't forget the other two armies that could make things difficult in the Heavens and Underworld. "How are the things in the other two Realms?"
One of the cultivators on the bridge immediately answered. "Our spies on both realms are all reporting the same thing. The Heavens and Underworld Armies seem to be mobilizing. No doubt they know we focused our main force on the Foundation Pillar, so they should be coming for us now."
Flavio nodded, satisfied. "How long would it take for them to relocate their armies to the Foundation Pillar?"
"That will depend on what kind of methods they have to move their forces," the guy answered. "However, even if the top experts in the Underworld and Heavens put everyone inside their Pocket Dimensional Realm and come for us, they should take at least two days to move enough of their forces to pose a threat to our forces."
Flavio took a look at the information himself and agreed. "Seems about right. We have two days to get rid of as many of the forces in the Foundation Pillar as possible. Full speed ahead. Send the first to tenth spaceships at the forefront and activate the Star Shield."
That was one thing the Garisan Universe hadn't done back during the first battle. They never thought Lisan would truly pose a threat to them, so the shield was never prepared to be used. Not this time, though. By gathering ten of their spaceships, they could use the power of the Universe Foundation Fragments from foreign Universes and create a shield that could stop even the attacks of Semi-Celestials.
Gragatou looked into the distance with his Divine Sense and noticed those ten spaceships taking formation. Not long after, they began to exchange energy, just like it happened when the Star Ray was used in the first battle. "Are they going to use that thing again?! Prepare to bring everyone into the Pocket Dimensional Realms!"
"No, it is different!" Leandro spoke on the side. The Vruves could not stay out of the battle this time since they had the agreement. "It doesn't feel like an attack. Besides, they are using ten ships, not five like the last time."
The Semi-Celestials from Lisan focused their attention. Finally, they saw an azure shield taking form right in front of the ten ships, which were separated over a huge area. They completely covered all the armies and other spaceships coming behind.
"They are planning to dive right into our armies!" Kilindou was the first one to notice. The shield, even though covering an enormous area, could definitely be avoided in time. Yet, they would be forced to spread their forces, which would make it harder to defend against Garisan.
*Zush, zush!*
However, it was at that moment that Luan and Roan appeared just beside Luan on the Foundation Pillar frontline.
At the same time, Flavio and Lucas received a piece of news that made their bodies freeze. "S- Sir! The armies from the Underworld and the Heavens... They disappeared!"
