Chapter 844: Hopeless Battle (3)
Chapter 844: Hopeless Battle (3)
No matter how tightly they held on, as another thousand years began to pass, Isabella and Rose started to feel overwhelmed.
Fighting endlessly, even though they could still press on, their army teetered on the brink of collapse.
“You brats!” Isabella called out, stepping back to let the next defender take over.
“Haha, Mother Isabella! Mother Rose! I thought you could fight for hundreds of thousands of years!” Sam laughed, clad in gigantic armor forged from tier 13 materials.
“Clean up this mess,” Rose said with a pout, taking the guardians to go back and recuperate.
“Mother, leave this to us. No need to worry.” Luke stepped forward, accompanied by trillions of robot army.
Though only at the tier 11 realm, crafted from tier 13 chaos gold, they were impervious to damage from a tier 12 dark beast.
With their arrival, the initially sluggish battle reignited as they took over, allowing the others to rest.
Watching the two hold their ground without losing an inch, Isabella and Rose finally heaved sighs of relief.
“This is good. We’ll take turns after a while,” Isabella said.
Instead of fighting the dark beasts simultaneously, they designed a battle rotation, fully prepared for a battle of attrition.
Returning to the massive Shadow Void Land, their army and guardians began to rest and recuperate.

Meanwhile, around the void of the Aeon Plane.
The Void Outpost, which had formed a defensive array, also began to withdraw.
Calling in their designated backup, they flew back to the edge of the Aeon Plane, planning to give another salvo of fire to the Origin Dark Beast.
In their place, countless members of the Eryndor Race, the Order of Maxim, and the Zerg stepped forward.
“It’s finally our turn for battle…”
“Haha, may the pioneer of knowledge bless us in the coming fight!”
“By the queen’s order! Kill every dark beast you see!”
The Eryndor Race, the strongest race that surpassed everyone in mere millions of years, stood around the Aeon Plane commanding an invincible army.
The Order of Maxim, once a rising organization of knowledge, now overseeing all institutions, stood side by side facing the dark beasts without fear.
Finally, the Zergs, led by Sira, produced quintillions of tier 11 fearless soldiers ready to exchange lives to kill their enemy.
Watching them take on the dark beast without flinching, the previously losing battle found balance.
Killing and suppressing, the fight reached another standstill.
Soon, as another thousands of years began to pass, just as they started to slow down, another rotation took place, with the previous defenders returning to the fray.
One after another, rotation after rotation, when one group grew tired, another would take their place, continuing the endless battle.
As tens of thousands of years passed, everything in the Aeon Plane began to treat the dark beast as natural, like a calamity they could never end.
—
Outside the Aeon Plane, the fight with the tier 13 dark beast reached a fiery pitch.
After tens of thousands of years of fighting and suppression, the tier 13 dark beast finally began to weaken and collapse.
Under the siege of thousands of overlords, after a relentless battle, the tier 13 dark beast let out its final roar of defeat.
“Finally! We finished it! One problem down!”
“Huh! It’s over… Even the unkillable dark beast was just like that!”
After tens of thousands of years of unending battle, their efforts finally bore fruit as they defeated one of the tier 13 dark beasts.
“Don’t get too complacent. It’s not over yet.”
Far from them, in a battlefield within the distant chaotic void, a fight that gripped their hearts still raged.
“Can we even help with that…?”
Unlike the tier 13 dark beast they had just slain, this one was untouchable.
No matter what they did or how they fought, it could barely be damaged, let alone killed.
Even the dozens of top overlords leading the fight could only suppress its recovery and corner it like a trapped beast.
“What do you mean, you coward? Just help! Even if you die, delaying it for a few seconds could mean victory!”
“Yeah! Fight! Even if we stop it for a moment, we win!”
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
Swallowing their fear, they charged at the origin dark beast, giving it their all.
Unfortunately, seeing the ant-like powerhouses dive into battle, the origin dark beast began to devour and crush them to pieces.
Even so, they were relentless. Even as they died, they held the origin dark beast back for a moment.
Witnessing such brave acts, Skye, Zar, Marcus, and the others were stunned.
“How brave…”
“Is this even useful?”
“What’s the point of dying like this?”
Even for them, no matter how strong they were, they could only slow the healing speed of the origin dark beast.
If not for the Tower of Knowledge and the Void Outpost firing combined attacks from time to time, the origin dark beast might have long recovered and killed them all.
“No! Everyone’s sacrifice is worthy. Don’t deny them.”
Seeing such desperate measures, most quickly noticed their effect.
An ant might not move an elephant, but a swarm of unkillable ants could.
Though they barely stalled the origin dark beast, it gave them precious breathing space to think and rest.
Even as battle veterans, fighting for tens of thousands of years was still exhausting.
With this space to rest and recover, they could sustain the battle longer without giving in.
“Good! Good! As expected of the brave warriors of the Aeon Plane…”
From earlier mockery, they now felt moved by their sacrifice.
“Just a little more, a little more…”
Feeling the fatigue in their bodies, most couldn’t help but glance toward the Aeon Plane, as if wondering when their savior would arrive.
Tens of thousands of years had already passed. How much longer must they wait?
They could still endure for now, but what about the future?
Looking at the Aeon Plane, they prayed for Maximus to end it all and save them from this misery.
Suddenly, as if answering their pleas, a massive rumble shook the Aeon Plane.
“Could Maximus be about to advance?!”
