Eternal Sun

Chapter 1489 Heroes Rise! A Surge of Sub-Gods 2 (Page 12)

Three chapters in one!

Izaya escaped.

Yes, despite the annihilation measures prepared in advance by the Radiant Civilization, Ciya did not perish.

At the critical moment, Ibaraki-doji soared into the sky and unleashed another Extreme Wind Howl Cannon downwards.

Two consecutive overload attacks, coupled with the external force of the golden-red light, almost brought Ibaraki's body to the brink of collapse.

However, it must be said that this second decisive attack did indeed buy him a chance to survive.

The Extreme Wind Howl Cannon clashed with the golden-red light, and the immense pressure propelled Ibaraki-doji out of the planet. Even Rei-fu, who witnessed the entire event, didn't have time to completely stop him.

"Ha, he got off easy."

"However, even if he escaped, so what? Given the injuries he sustained, he is destined to never have another chance to advance further."

"Hmm... Thinking about it this way, it's a way to reduce one future enemy for my glorious civilization."

As the golden-red light gradually faded, Lianfeng hovered in mid-air, her gaze fixed on the direction where Ibaraki had disappeared.

On the planet's surface, the warriors of the Radiant Civilization, who had all retreated to their nodes, swarmed out and began the post-war cleanup of the planet.

It was amazing; the power of that golden-red light was enough to completely sweep across the entire surface of the planet, leaving absolutely nothing behind.

But the truth is that the light seemed to have been invented specifically to target the Wind Howling Legion. The planet's surface was covered with the corpses of dead Wind Howling warriors, but the planet's original ecosystem was not destroyed.

It was likely a contest between two great civilizations, aimed at establishing their dominance, not simply at destroying everything.

If every time a planet is conquered, its surface is completely destroyed, leaving only a desolate wasteland, what is the point of conquering these planets?

……

The war that is taking place on a medium-sized planet is just an insignificant corner of a much larger battlefield; there are many battlefields far more brutal than this one.

The wars that took place on large, giant, or even super-planet planets far exceeded those on medium-sized planets by several orders of magnitude, both in terms of the size of the legions and the number of powerful individuals.

From the perspective of the overall battlefield situation, the Radiant Civilization held a very clear dominant position in the war against the Howling Wind Civilization.

One by one, life-bearing planets, resource planets, and training planets belonging to the Wind Howling Civilization changed hands under the advance of the Radiant Civilization Legion.

Even though the Wind Howling Civilization launched continuous counterattacks and even sent troops to attack the territory of the Radiant Civilization, they still could not reverse their disadvantageous situation.

Fortunately, the Wind Howl civilization was not fighting alone.

As the most outstanding and powerful of the immortal civilizations, the Radiant Civilization's strength and profound heritage are evident to all, which also means that it has more than one enemy eyeing it.

At this moment, the Radiant Civilization is simultaneously engaged in battle with three beast-like civilizations, including the Howling Wind Civilization.

Taken individually, the Radiant Civilization achieved a considerable advantage in its wars against any one of the three beast-like civilizations.

However, the combined attack of the three hostile civilizations increased the pressure on the Radiant Civilization, and the overall losses of the four civilizations were almost the same.

Unless the Radiant Civilization can come up with some decisive means to deal with the other three civilizations.

Otherwise, if the war continues, even if the Radiant Civilization ultimately triumphs, its internal resources will inevitably be depleted.

At that point, even a victory would be a Pyrrhic one.

It sounds simple, but if there really were a decisive method that could end a battle in a very short time, the Radiant Civilization would have used it long ago.

The problem is that there isn’t one!

In this situation, seeing her own civilization being dragged into the quagmire of war little by little by the three shameless guys, the Goddess of the Sun, as the ruler of the Radiant Civilization, also felt somewhat regretful.

As the "head" of the Radiant Civilization, although the entire civilization is not exactly ruled by his absolute authority, virtually no one opposes the decisions he makes.

Even the "second-in-command" of the Radiant Civilization, the Crimson Flame Martial God, did not oppose the Sun Goddess's decision this time, and even strongly supported the faction that went to war.

However, the battle is now at a stalemate, and the foundation of the entire civilization is being consumed at a visible rate, which makes the two demigods of the Radiant Civilization somewhat uneasy.

……

"Damn Shadow Hunter Civilization, shouldn't they be at war with Ultraman Civilization right now? Why do they have the resources to join forces with those two bastards?"

On the ancestral planet of the Radiant Civilization, the Goddess of the Sun is unleashing her fury in the central council hall, her target being the Shadow Hunter Civilization, one of the three great civilizations at war with them.

The Ultra Civilization is the archenemy of the Shadow Hunter Civilization.

"Based on the intelligence we have gathered so far, the Shadow Hunter civilization may have given birth to a second civilization master."

Looking at the intelligence presented to him, the Crimson Flame Martial God quickly analyzed the most likely conclusion.

The so-called ruler of a civilization is a demigod, but this is only a respectful title given by an immortal civilization to the demigod who governs the civilization, and does not include those independent demigod powerhouses.

"What? A second civilization master?"

"Is the information accurate? Could it be fake news, or a smokescreen deliberately released by the Shadow Hunter Civilization?"

The Goddess of the Sun couldn't care less about getting angry; she was clearly shocked by the conclusion reached by the Crimson Flame Warrior.

"It's inaccurate, but that doesn't prove it's fake news."

"Besides this possibility, I really can't think of any reason why the Shadow Hunter Civilization, which is currently at war with both us and the Ultra Civilization, would dare to do this?"

The Crimson Flame Martial God frowned deeply.

"Damn it, they really messed things up!"

The Goddess of the Sun grew increasingly annoyed.

Originally, His strength had made a breakthrough, and in the face of war with the two beast-like civilizations, He was confident that He could take down the ruler of one of the civilizations at a crucial moment.

In this way, the opposing side only has one Civilization Master left, while their Radiant Civilization still has two Civilization Masters, one of whom is an enhanced demigod. Victory in this war is destined to belong to them.

Who would have thought that the Shadow Hunter Civilization would suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Three to two!

Even if the Goddess of the Sun was confident in her strength, she couldn't guarantee that she could fight two opponents at once, let alone be confident that she could defeat them in such a situation.

……

Just as the battle on the front lines was at its most intense and the high-ranking officials of the ancestral civilization were racking their brains for a solution, the Goddess of the Sun suddenly received a communication request from another civilization.

"Oh? Why would they suddenly contact me?"

Despite some doubts, the Goddess of the Sun chose to allow the connection.

Swish!

With the confirmation of the Goddess of the Sun, two figures, almost indistinguishable from illusions, suddenly appeared in the central council hall of the Radiant Civilization.

That is a tangible projection.

Being able to directly contact the Goddess of the Sun, the strength of these two projections goes without saying; they are the rulers of two other humanoid civilizations.

Ultraman Civilization, Ultraman Emperor!

Eternal Civilization, Fleeting Speaker!

"Why are you two contacting me at this time?"

The Goddess of the Sun didn't waste any words, but asked directly, while the Crimson Flame God beside her also looked at the two projections with questioning eyes.

Let's form an alliance!

Neither of the two rulers of civilizations wasted any words. The Ultra Emperor, who was over fifty meters tall and had a robust and majestic physique, responded just as swiftly.

Beside him, Speaker Setsuna, who was just over three meters tall and looked thin but exceptionally capable, did not speak, but simply nodded in approval.

"Why?"

Given the current situation facing the Radiant Civilization, forming an alliance with the two civilization leaders on the other side would be a good option, but the Goddess of the Sun would certainly not make a hasty decision.

Who knows what those two guys are up to?

Although everyone is an "ally" who is naturally on the side of humanoid form in this war of physical forms, their relationship is not yet that close.

If it weren't for the ever-present threat of the beast-like civilizations, these different humanoid civilizations would likely have clashed sooner or later.

Ultraman Emperor and Speaker Setsuna did not pay attention to the seemingly very forceful questioning of the Goddess of the Sun, and even if they did, they would never show it at this moment.

With his deep, resonant voice, Ultraman Emperor explained the reasons for and the advantages and disadvantages of the alliance in a simple and clear manner.

"You should already have some guesses about the situation of the Shadow Hunter Civilization. I can tell you very clearly that they have indeed given birth to a second Civilization Master."

"I haven't gathered much information about this ruler of civilization yet, but His existence is already quite certain."

"Now that the Shadow Hunter Civilization, the Howling Wind Civilization, and the Leopard Spectator Civilization have joined forces to launch a siege against the Radiant Civilization, the Radiant Civilization can indeed engage in a protracted war with them, but this is not a wise choice."

"Once the three civilization masters launch an attack, the situation of the Radiant Civilization will be far from optimistic, and it may even be caught off guard."

"In this situation, the best approach is to form alliances with other civilizations to share the risks and pressures."

"Perfect timing. I am a sworn enemy of the Shadow Hunter Civilization, so I am the perfect ally for you. At least you don't need to worry about me doing anything backstabbing you before you eliminate the Shadow Hunter Civilization."

“But even with me, we still have fewer Civilization Masters than the other side, so I persuaded Speaker Setsuna to join us.”

"You are all very clear about the situation of the Eternal Civilization. It has suppressed the Moro Civilization in all aspects, from strategic to tactical levels. As a result, Speaker Setsuna can now completely free up his hands to form an alliance with us."

"As for Speaker Setsuna's strength and character, there's no need to elaborate. He's absolutely the perfect ally."

"..."

As Emperor Ultra listed out the necessity and benefits of the alliance, everyone in the central council hall fell into deep thought.

Most importantly, the Radiant Civilization truly needs external assistance at this moment; otherwise, it might be dragged down by the three opposing civilizations on its own.

……

"Everyone, I've said everything I needed to say."

"So... what do you all think?"

After explaining the pros and cons, Ultraman Emperor said no more, and instead, together with Speaker Setsuna, silently looked at the Goddess of the Sun and the Crimson Flame God.

"..."

Da da da……

The atmosphere in the central council hall was extremely solemn, with only the sound of the Goddess of the Sun gently tapping the throne.

"An alliance... is acceptable!"

The Goddess of the Sun suddenly raised her head, her gaze meeting Ultraman Emperor's without hesitation, before turning to look at Speaker Setsuna beside him.

"happy!"

Ultraman Emperor smiled.

At this moment, seeing the Goddess of the Sun make her decision, the Crimson Flame Martial God finally found an opportunity to speak.

"Forming an alliance is not a problem, but we still need to plan it carefully."

"After all, this concerns six, no, including the Moron civilization which has been completely suppressed by the Eternal Civilization, this is a major event concerning seven civilizations, and we cannot be careless."

"It's natural!"

Therefore, the Goddess of the Sun raised the barrier in the central council hall, blocking all possible outside prying eyes, before she began to discuss the next strategic plan with Emperor Ultra.
