Chapter 2573 - 1124: Desperate Pursuit and Escape
"Go!" Prince Ubar waved his hand.
Even if he wasn’t bound by the contract, he currently had no energy to chase that little thief.
The arrival of the Demon Prince Demogorgon, crossing from another plane, was the matter he most urgently needed to deal with.
Grazte seized the moment before Demogorgon fully entered, launching a frenzied attack.
They demonstrated with their actions what it means to destroy the heavens and the earth.
A casual strike left sword marks or whip scars on the ground, resembling the cracks left by a violent earthquake, stretching hundreds of meters long and over ten meters deep.
A simple step caused countless houses to collapse, including those magnificent crystal towers and palaces.
Even if Prince Grazte of the Ubar ultimately repelled Demon Prince Demogorgon, he would still be the one who lost miserably.
His imperial capital Zelata would suffer a devastating blow.
His reputation and influence throughout the Bottomless Abyss would also be severely shaken.
His other enemies would be eager to act, while his allies would be filled with anxiety.
After all, confining himself in his domain for a century is long enough for many things to happen.
Leaving aside the two Demon Lords locked in fierce battle.
Let’s just discuss Gaven and Baron Blood’s true form, one chasing and the other fleeing out of everyone’s sight.
Gaven’s speed was unparalleled.
Even though the opponent was an intermediate divine power true form, it was beyond reach, and he soon disappeared from Baron Blood’s sight.
However, he couldn’t completely escape Baron Blood, the reason naturally lay with the War Ravager, the connection between the two incarnations and the true form was not something that could be entirely severed.
Unless Gaven could completely refine them or completely abandon them.
Neither was possible, at least not temporarily.
Using Destroy Evil to refine them requires time, and it cannot be achieved in a short period.
Releasing them is tantamount to indirectly assisting the enemy.
Seeing he couldn’t catch up to Gaven with his speed, the Vampire God immediately took advantage of the home field.
Accompanied by sharp ultrasonic whistles, countless bats, big and small, soared into the sky along the way, fearlessly hurling themselves at Gaven.
At first, Gaven tried to evade.
But he quickly realized it was futile.
The sheer number of Demon Bats was overwhelming, avoiding one side only to be confronted from another direction.
Dodging back and forth not only slowed him down but also elongated his path.
This was exactly what Baron Blood wanted, surely taking the opportunity to close the distance between them.
Gaven made up his mind, charged head-on at full speed.
Immediately, the sound of relentless impacts filled his ears.
Countless Demon Bats were directly smashed into meat paste, dropping to the ground like dumplings.
Yet Gaven remained unscathed.
An invisible circular magic shield coiled around his body, keeping them at bay.
This was not the Goddess of Wealth’s Divine Power Shield, but the Legendary Body’s powerful damage reduction ability.
The small-bodied Demon Bats couldn’t even penetrate his defense.
The giant-bodied Demon Bats, difficult to catch up with Gaven, faced the additional challenge of his Divine Power Shield.
They could break through one layer of the Magic Shield but struggled to penetrate the second layer.
"Just focus on flying; I’ll handle the defense," the Goddess of Wealth volunteered.
The golden light radiating from Gaven began to condense, transforming into gold coins of various shapes, swirling around him, spinning rapidly.
They hit the advancing Demon Bats with a crackling sound, knocking them out of the sky prematurely.
This was Woken’s exclusive divine artifact, the Coin Cloud.
Though her power was mostly sealed, dealing with these cannon fodders was still effortlessly manageable.
"Good!" Gaven shouted joyously, focusing intently on flying.
The sense of synergy wasn’t one-sided from the Goddess of Wealth, Gaven also felt something similar.
The last time he felt this way was with Lady Strategy.
There’s no contradiction.
If one were to compare a person to a polygon, Lady Strategy fit one facet of Gaven, while the Goddess of Wealth fit another.
Or it’s through Gaven, originally two goddesses with no direct connection, that they would become closely linked in the future.
For Lady Strategy’s divine position to grow and thrive, it couldn’t do without the strong support of the Goddess of Wealth.
Whether maintaining a large army, orderly training, or developing long-term strategy, all require spending money, and not just a little.
Conversely, Lady Strategy’s divine position is a product of economic development reaching a certain level.
Whereas the Goddess of Wealth needs the support and protection of Lady Strategy, for without a powerful army’s protection, any wealth she develops would ultimately be for others to benefit from.
"Blood Self-Destruction!" Noticing the interception strategy’s failure, Baron Blood immediately adjusted tactics.
The Demon Bats that reached close to Gaven’s position suddenly became engorged, and as soon as the Goddess of Wealth’s Coin Cloud touched them, they exploded with a roar, turning into small blood mists.
These small blood mists seemed to have a life of their own, intertwining to form a larger blood mist, wrapping around Gaven, becoming increasingly dense and sticky, threatening to glue him in place like amber.
"Never learn!" Gaven sneered.
The War Ravager materialized in his grasp, a massive suction emerging.
Before the blood mist could take shape, it was swept clean away, all absorbed into the Blood Giant Hammer.
