The fight between Yorgaardman and the Dragon of Chaos became more and more boring, while the fight in the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest was growing more and more fierce and interesting.
As time passed by, the devils had gradually adapted to the rules of the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest, so they stopped putting a lot of effort into self-defense. Many of them had been cautious against the Goddess of Bumper Harvest before and saved half of their power for self-defense, but now, even the most conservative ones used seventy to eighty percent of their power to attack. Some of them even made full use of their great power, which would be enough to fight with a God.
This could be seen clearly through the circles formed by the radiation of power around their bodies. When they had first entered the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest, they; hadn’t adapted to the rules of the surrounding environment. To ensure their own safety, these devils had spared almost no effort to form huge circles around their bodies, using their own strength to repel the rules of the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest. Now they had stopped doing that, not because of their lack of power, but because they had fully adapted to the environment and were no longer worried about being hindered by the rules of this God’s Kingdom.
It cost an amazing amount of power to create a unique environment in another’s God’s Kingdom, and when they put that power into attacking, the effect was also astonishing.
The Goddess of Bumper Harvest, who had barely withstood the attacks before, was now retreating bit by bit. Although the oracles died and were resuscitated quickly, they were still suppressed by the attack of the devils. Even the Goddess of Bumper Harvest herself, the main fighting power, was unable to resist the joint attack of two devils from the Machinery Realm and had to step back again and again.
Her retreat wasn’t fast, and the God’s Kingdom was big enough, but every step of her retreat was difficult and painful, as if she was walking on a cliff of ten thousand feet and might fall down and break into pieces at any time.
More importantly, she was a great God, trusted by all her followers and oracles, so every step of her retreat had a great impact on their confidence and morale. No matter how high a morale they had, after seeing her retreat several times, they grew upset and worried. The oracles would be fine, but some of her followers might run away, so the Goddess of Bumper Harvest didn’t want to retreat, not even one step.
She warned herself, “Moritre, you can’t retreat any more, or you’ll have no way out.”
However, she still retreated again and again.
She had thought several times about whether she should just stay there to fight until she won or died, rather than taking even one step back, yet if it came to the occasion that she didn’t retreat, she would suffer a bad injury or even death, and in the end, she couldn’t take the risk. Thus, she retreated continually.
Gradually, she began to see her retreat wasn’t a serious problem at all. She even began to consider whether to run away right then, since she was still in a good condition.
It would cause extreme damage for a God to abandon their God’s Kingdom and run away. First, they would drop directly to the bottom level of Weak Divine Power. Second, they could suffer a lot of damage and might even lose their divine position.
If a God at the level of Weak Divine Power lost their divine position, they would die immediately.
Thus, for a God, giving up their God’s Kingdom and running away was a choice not much better than immediate death. Most of the Gods would rather fight to the death than give up their God’s Kingdoms and run away, unless they were sure that they could find a reliable helper to supply a great amount of Divine Power to them in time after running away.
The Goddess of Bumper Harvest had believed that she would be one of those Gods who would never escape.
She didn’t realize that she was afraid of death until she faced it. Thus, even if there was just a small chance for her to live, she still didn’t want to die.
Actually, she had a large chance of surviving. As an important member of the Natural God System, as long as she could manage to escape to the God’s Kingdom of the Natural God System, she would find a lot of friends to help her. She didn’t need to worry about a lack of Divine Power at all.
Then, should she have ran away right then?
She was reluctant.
This God’s Kingdom was the result of tens of thousands of years’ of her effort. There was a great deal of Divine Power inside it, as well as numerous followers and oracles. Losing it, she would fall directly from a senior master of the Mid-level Divine Power to a lonely master of Weak Divine Power. Not only would her status be far different from now, but she would also spend a long time restoring her vitality.
Since ancient times, how many of the Gods who had abandoned their God’s Kingdoms and ran away could come back?
Three? Or two?
She knew one for a fact. It was the God of Knights, whose God’s Kingdom had once been destroyed by the Orc Gods. At that time, he hadn’t even been able to find someone to seek help from. He had struggled so hard alone, watching out for those who wanted to steal his divine position while protecting the human beings who were attacked by various disasters and demons. Life was hard for him.
However, he finally made it through. He not only rebuilt his God’s Kingdom, but also guarded the entire human race during its steady progress. He finally selected an excellent successor and entrusted his title to him, then became an assistant to his successor.
Now, human beings had become bigger and stronger, and there was no doubt that they had become one of the most powerful races in the whole universe. Compared to that hard time when the God of Knights had fallen down and lost his God’s Kingdom, people were really amazed at how things had developed.
However, even the God of Knights was gone now.
Bah! That’s unfortunate!
