The origin gods of the Ghastorix family are excellent fighters. They will win in a situation where they are not outnumbered. But Soverick wasn't impressed.
He returned his gaze to the group of 100 origin gods and muttered. "They better hurry up."
He isn't referring to anyone in particular. His remark can be addressed to both the ambushers and the ambushed. Guntu ordered the group of origin gods to continue moving. They maintained their mobility and moved randomly across the plane. Doing so will make their group more noticeable but it will prevent them from being cornered and surrounded.
It was a good idea but it didn't work. The ambushers were ready for them. A thousand origin gods sprang up and converged on them from every direction. It was an avalanche of enemies. Guntu's face paled. He looked at the cube in his hands and sighed. He is stronger than all the attackers. None of them can match him but he has to limit his power or he will draw the attention of mother high heaven. She will punish all of them if he went overboard.
He can't use his full power unless he uses his domain. But they are outnumbered. In a situation where they can use their full power, their enemies will easily defeat them. It is a thousand against their hundred after all. So he and the other 99 origin gods combined their soul force and tried their best to resist falling under the domain of the ambushers.
A terrible but controlled fight ensued in the plane. Guntu fought while hoping for one of their ambushers to be stupid enough to break the limit themselves. That's the next best thing that he can hope for. Then mother high heaven will have to interfere and punish all of them for fighting in her realm.
But that won't happen. The attackers don't need to break the limit when they outnumber the Origin gods of the Ghastorix family ten to one. They are not the desperate ones. He is desperate but even he can't break the limit. He has already broken it just recently when he started the war to end the gods.
Breaking the limit so soon will result in targeted punishment. Mother high heaven will take something precious from all of them as the price for their sin but she will be extra difficult with him. She is very intelligent and nothing can be hidden from her in her plane. She will know what to target and take from them. He can't risk losing the black cube to her so he can't break the limit and neither can any origin god from the Ghastorix family. All in all, he thinks the situation is hopeless for them.
Soverick thinks so too. He thinks that the situation is hopeless because a hundred can not take on a thousand no matter how skilled they are. The limit of the plane will limit the advantage of skill and encourage the advantage of numbers. His opinion of the situation remained the same when ten thousand origin gods suddenly appeared in the void and reinforced the Ghastorix family.
"So they hid the bulk of their forces. That is smart. It doesn't change anything either way." He said when he learned of the situation.
He can't see into the void but he still got information about the fight because someone participating in the fight informed him. The Ghastorix family had prepared more than he knew about. Unfortunately, he expected them to have prepared for a lot. So it doesn't matter despite the fact that the fight in the void is quickly being won by the Ghastorix family.
It is because the fight going on in the void is just to stall for time. The ambushers did not plan to win it. The focal point of this heist is the fight going on the plane.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The thousand ambushers will quickly overwhelm the 100 defenders and snatch the black cube from them. The entire thing will devolve into a long drawn-out war once the ambushers have gotten what they came for. That doesn't concern him though. What concerns him is whether the ambushers get the cube or not.
The Ghastorix family thought their operation was secret that's why they didn't want to draw attention to themselves by bringing too many Origin gods into the plane. The ambushers on the other hand wanted to steal things in the open so uttermost secrecy doesn't matter to them. They would have brought more origin gods but they just got the information about the extraction. They didn't have time to prepare for more.
"What a beautiful sight." He exclaimed as he watched their fight
The Origin gods were fighting in the sky. They stayed very far away from the ground so that they won't damage the plane and offend the racial council. The racial council will come for reparations if they damage the Virut plane. So their fight took place above the layer of clouds.
The people on the ground didn't notice the fight. Very few people can see past the cloud layer and even fewer that can noticed the fight. Either way, it will be too late for anyone to interfere. The 100 origin gods won't last more than a few seconds before they are completely destroyed.
Everything was going well. The information the ambushers got was accurate. The number of protectors was correct just like they expected. They will get their hands on the item of interest soon enough. Unfortunately, things went wrong at the moment when they were about to reap the rewards of their thieving effort. Several floating war machines surrounded the fighters. They appeared suddenly and interrupted the fight.
These machines look like floating landmasses. They are actually flying fortresses equipped with enough weaponry to tear a suppressed origin god apart in the blink of an eye and there are hundreds of them. They will tear through every origin god here in seconds and they will be able to receive reinforcements too. They also have a powerful barrier around them. It is a barrier that can't be broken easily by suppressed origin gods.
