Chapter 765 A joke
Caesar ignored the battles of the Martial Emperors for a moment, then rose higher and looked at what was happening on the ground outside the walls
Because of the massive chaos that was now taking over the city, no one paid attention to what was happening on the ground outside, and according to the plan, this was perfect.
*Bzzzzt* *Bzzzzt*
One huge Space Portal opened on the ground opposite the city gate, and what came out of it were not the local soldiers in the southern region, but something else...
*Baam* *Baam*
They were beasts that resembled horses but were not horses. They are almost thrice the size of a normal horse. They have long tails full of blades and thick scales. They have claws instead of hooves and fangs instead of teeth. They have two great horns that point forward and a large bony crown that comes out of their heads upwards. And the strange thing is that All those beasts wear golden armor customized for them!
...They were the Terra Beasts that His Excellency had brought to them out of nowhere and told them that they were the new mounts of the army, and each one of them carried on its back a warrior wearing golden armor holding a great golden halberd.
"HAA!" The first group to show up moved quickly, but not towards the city gate, but rather started running around the wall
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
Within a few minutes, tens of thousands of Terra beasts emerged from the space portal, all of them circling the city and leaving a safe distance without taking a step inside.
The last Terra beast to come out had completed the number of 200 thousand, and after that, the space portal calmed down a little, and then rows of armored soldiers came out after them.
These soldiers did not move towards the city gate or even surround the city like the army of the Terra beasts. Rather, whenever their number reached a few thousand and they formed a square battalion, they turned around, started waking away, and stood at a relatively far distance from the city.
Each battalion stood independently, and at the head of each battalion stood a Martial Emperor supervising them... One of them was Emperor Julian.
After the number of these battalions reached 15, the huge space portal closed.
... When Caesar was satisfied that everything was in place, he looked back down with his eyes half open, still leaning his halberd on his shoulder as he calmly watched the battles of the five generals.
The five battles are still in balance, no one has been seriously injured yet, but none of the five True Beginning Generals seem to be sloping either.
According to his experience, the impact of the return-to-nothing explosion will paralyze the bodies of the five Great Serpent Generals physically and mentally for a period that may reach minutes or hours, but they will undoubtedly regain their stability as the minutes pass, It will not take long before they return to their optimal state... He did what he could and prepared the stage for Victoria and the rest, now they have to manage the rest themselves.
However, he still doesn't know if he should be proud that the opening shot that made this fight possible was his, or if this is the most he can do...
Caesar sighed as he remembered the days when his adoptive father had modified his energy foundations himself to add parts of the Major Heavenly Law of Death. He had received torture that he had never thought possible, and to this day he does not believe it could ever be repeated... After all of that, why his father was unable to bring his new foundation to perfection? Why does he of all people suffer whenever he uses HIS law?!
He never regretted telling his father his desire to be unique, and if he went back in time, he would ask for the death fire a hundred times over... That torment gave him the death fire, a weapon that no one could stand before, a weapon that fixed him in his position as the supreme general of the army even though there were other titans who were stronger than him at a certain point, such as Alexander, Jabba, or even the Tree Fathers now, and yet they all obey and fear him, not because he is His Exclency's spoiled son, but because of his black flame.
However, his dream of absolute power was not complete. Amending the law of Death, which gave him prestige and absolute authority wherever he went, is the same thing that restrains him... Like today, he had the choice of fighting two generals or weakening the five, so he chose to weaken the five and give the opportunity to his followers.
If his father were here, would he need to make such a decision? His father destroyed 6 Warlords in the blink of an eye when he was still a Saint?!
*I will protect you, I swear that even if the God of Death comes, he will not take you from me* The words that Caesar said to his father in the cave that day have been on his mind a lot lately.
After all these years, who has the power to protect whom? His father completed his quest and more, researched, planned, built, and established a gigantic planetary empire, and at the same time, he became the most powerful being in it! As for him.. he is still weak! weak!!
*Crush* The bones of Caesar's right hand began to make strange sounds as it closed on the halberd. Even his molars were making a crushing sound from the intensity of his pressure on them. Under his calm appearance, there was a burning volcano.
With the same calm yet raging eyes, he looked at General Dirit as he freely used the Minor Heavenly Law of Corrosion without any psychological or physical harm coming to him... 'The path of Destruction is on the same level as the path of Death, and yet here is this lucky bastard using his power freely, why?!'
*crack*
"Hmm?" Caesar saw something simple, but it would be enough to change his outlook on everything... He saw General Dirit's rest armor cracking.
It wasn't caused by an attack from Alexander, and it certainly wasn't excessive energy pressure from Dirit... it just cracked and pieces of it started turning into ashes.
Caesar furrowed his eyebrows for a long time...
*Cluck* Caesar's hand that was holding the halberd suddenly weakened as if it could no longer hold it and hung beside Caesar, his furrowed eyebrows raised, and even his mouth opened as if he was preparing to swallow a whole egg.
'The body cultivated on the foundations of a specific law will not be affected by that law, but clothes, weapons, and everything else is affected, and this is what drives the cultivator to always wrap everything he uses with energy from that law, in order to avoid that collateral damage... What if what's happening to me has nothing to do with energy foundations, but also collateral damage?' Caesar rested his chin on his right hand, then began to think out loud, "Collateral damage to the Major Heavenly Law of Death that has nothing to do with foundations... Paths such as Destruction and even Fire and others have an apparent effect on things, but Death affects only living beings. What might its effects be?!""
Then he remembered something and slowly raised his hand, his palm still pale and trembling from that attack, "Is that side effect... Fear?!"
Caesar continued, raising his hand quickly and running it through his hair until it settled above his head. A few drops of sweat began to fall from his forehead... What if this trembling and lack of control over his body was his soul's fear of the law of death? Isn't paleness what happens when a person is afraid?! ...But he doesn't feel afraid!!
...All living creatures fear death without exception. The stupidest of all beasts will still flee if they sense a threat to their lives. The fiercest of all warriors will tremble when they realize that death is inevitably coming.
And he is playing with Death itself! What if the problem is not in its foundations? Rather, in him being... Alive?!
"FUCK!" Caesar shouted loudly and threw his spear in a certain direction, it pierced the chest of one of the Great Serpent Emperors. And then he ignited the black flame on his left palm and shouted at it, "What kind of a sick joke is this? Must I die first before I can use you freely? I am not afraid of you! Do you hear me? I am I don't fear you!!"
However, Caesar's skin color became paler.
"Dammit!!" Caesar quickly extinguished the death fire and squeezed his hand tight
"General, the spaceships are trying to flee!" At this moment a voice came from beside him
"...Let them, they won't be going anywhere." Caesar waved unconcernedly.
