At first, the water only reached their feet. But since the storm was still pouring water down in one endless barrage, the water level could only rise.
The water that only reached their feet soon reached their ankles. From there, it rose to submerge their knees. Then it reached their waist.
As the water level rose, more and more aquatic creatures were able to reach them and attack them. The size of these aquatic creatures also became bigger over time.
By the time the water level submerged their knees, giant crocodiles could already reach them. But this was just the start. There were still sharks and whales out there waiting for the water level to rise enough for them to reach the invaders.
Thanks to the deployment of troops, the attacks of the inhabitants of the world didn’t affect the outpost in any way. The undead, the ants, and the ant drones were able to stop anything from getting close. So the divine beings didn’t have to do anything.
If anything, the attacks of various kinds of creatures helped the outpost grow faster. This was because the metal bees were able to harvest the flesh of the killed creatures to use as resources for the white gem to grow.
Since the metal bees didn’t need to go too far to get resources anymore, the white gem began to grow faster and faster. The speed of growth increased by 50%, so what should have taken 90 days to complete will now take 60 days.
This lightened the mood of the divine beings. After all, the faster the white crystal grows, the earlier they can complete the mission. Unfortunately, this increase in speed became more and more expensive to enjoy as time passed.
On one side was an army of defenders that was made up of 1 million undead, 100 thousand ants, 10 rank 6 undead, 30 rank 6 ants, and 100 rank 6 ant drones. On the other side were at least 1 trillion enemies.
The will of Oceania had turned the whole world against them. Since the population of creatures in Oceania was in the trillions of trillions, it meant that they had trillions of enemies.
However, the enemies of any consequence with enough power to be a threat to the outpost core were only about 1 trillion. Small shrimps, fish, and crabs didn’t count.
But even with just 1 trillion useful soldiers, the side with a clear advantage in numbers is clear. And even if the will of Oceania only sent this 1 trillion soldiers to smash into the 1.1 million enemies without any strategy, the 1 trillion soldiers would still win.
In just a day, the 1 million undead and 100 thousand ants had been ground to dust. All that was left were the 10 rank 6 undead, 30 rank 6 ants, and 100 rank 6 ant drones.
This made a total of 140 rank 6 creatures still defending the outpost core. Not only were they not enough to fend off 1 trillion enemies, but there were also 100 rank 5 world guardians to deal with.
These 100 world guardians were all water dragons. This meant that they possessed a Power Core of 1,000 units. With this kind of power, they were 11.11 times stronger than the rank 5 cultivators of the Blessed Heaven World.
At this point, the four of them had to start taking direct action to defend the outpost core. They summoned the power of their Cave Heaven and wielded it like clubs to smash the enemies.
The use of their Cave Heaven as weapons doesn’t cost them anything, so they can use it for as long as they want. The only problem would be if they encountered an enemy that could destroy their Cave Heaven.
Of the four of them, Nether Flame and Ant Hill only summoned their Cave Heaven. Monarch Money Body and Loki decided to do something else.
Money Body didn’t want to use his Cave Heaven because he didn’t want to expose more information about how strong he was to the dragon king. So instead of displaying the power of his Cave Heaven, he activated some divine metacs to use them.
He activated a Divine Metac called the Money Enhancement Metac. This was a Divine Metac that burned money to enhance the power of items and objects.
The Money Enhancement Metac produced a golden ray of light that turned objects golden. This made it look similar to the Golden Light Metac.
However, the Golden Light Metac was an offensive Metac that froze everything it shone on into a golden statue. The Money Enhancement Metac, on the other hand, didn’t freeze objects and render them useless. Instead, the Money Enhancement Metac made things stronger and better.
Money Body used this Money Enhancement Metac on all of the rank 6 defenders and some of the rank 5 undead and ants. The rank 6 defenders directly became rank 7 defenders, while the rank 5 defenders became rank 6 defenders.
This increased the number of summons, helping them to defend from 140 rank 6 to 140 rank 7 and 100 rank 6 defenders. This immediately caused the defenders to outnumber the most powerful world guardians.
This way, it was only a matter of time before all of the world guardians were killed. Then the rank 7 and rank 7 summons can focus on killing the 1 trillion other enemies.
The enhancement effect of the Money Enhancement Metac was temporary. But until the enhancement effect ended, everything that was enhanced would be golden and more powerful.
Loki saw this and decided to bring out two hundred more ant-drones. This time, he summoned 100 shield medium-class drones and 100 spear medium-class drones.
He ordered Hammock to arrange the shield drones to form a wall around the outpost core. The flying drones were allowed to continue roaming the battlefield, but the shield drones were made to stay behind the shield to support them.
The shield drones joined their heads together to form a circular wall around the outpost core. Then the spear class formed another wall behind the shield drones.
