Destruction Demon God Locke led the Destruction Divine Kingdom into a renewed total war across the Light Universe Time-Space, overwhelming Dark Nether Death God and forcing the opposing factions into fierce battles. At the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster, the Mountain Giant King watched the Qisha and Eternal Day legions fight, while the retreating enemy forces no longer threatened his homeland.

Ch. 5630The Mountain Giant King's Chilled Heart

The Mountain Giant King weighed the worsening war and Saine’s efforts to persuade the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster to migrate to Gear Time-Space. The Light God Race’s contempt for other civilizations, seemingly approved by the Light Universe Time-Space Will, left the Mountain Giant King deeply disillusioned and considering departure.

  • Saine left a powerful Level-10 Mechanical Civilization Unit in the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster to persuade the Earth Elemental Creatures to migrate to Gear Time-Space.

Saine expanded cross-dimensional trade to turn resources from the Light Universe war into supplies for the Destruction Divine Kingdom, while Blue-eyed Octopus investigated the resulting market shifts and suspected Heavenly Wing Demon Lord of secretly betraying Evil Swamp Time-Space. Saine prepared for their trade to be exposed by shifting more orders onto Heavenly Wing Demon Lord, using him to draw attention away from Jiang Qi and Star Mark.

  • Saine sold surplus resources and Spoils of War to Evil Swamp Time-Space and Demon Cave Time-Space, exchanging them for materials and development capital.

When his forces caught a handover in progress, Deep Blue Walker tried to flee and destroy the witnesses, leaving the secret exposed and the transaction scene in chaos.

  • The Heavenly Wing Demon Lord continued trading Saine’s materials for enormous profits, concealing the deals by silencing lower-level transport troops after each mission.
  • Blue-eyed Octopus noticed that Saine’s resource shipments exceeded what the Gear Time-Space Battlefield could plausibly consume and began secretly monitoring the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord.
  • Blue-eyed Octopus’s subordinate, a level-11 White Giant Moth Strong Practitioner, blockaded a star domain just after a Mechanical Civilization fleet completed a handover to the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord’s troops.
  • Deep Blue Walker recognized that the deal’s exposure threatened the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord and his trusted subordinates, then unleashed indiscriminate Rule-power attacks on the transport troops as he tried to escape.

Ch. 5634Selling Out

A level-11 Gray-White Great Moth exposed the Mechanical Civilization’s trade with Evil Swamp Time-Space and pursued Deep Blue Walker, while Saine calculated that the scandal could benefit his plans.

  • Mechanical Civilization units under Saine uploaded the battle and transaction records to Skynet, then broke out toward their main position as Skynet dispatched reinforcements.
  • The Gray-White Great Moth nearly killed Deep Blue Walker, sealed the remaining Evil Swamp transport troops, and pursued him toward the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord’s territory.
  • Deep Blue Walker escaped into the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord’s domain, and the Gray-White Great Moth turned back rather than enter his main camp.
  • Saine calmly assessed the exposure as a possible advantage, since it could divert pressure from the Mechanical Civilization and leave other trade routes available.
  • The Gray-White Great Moth delivered her records and captured evidence to Blue-eyed Octopus, who shared them with Agulos and Long Ga.

  • Heavenly Wing Demon Lord went to the border of his Star Sector and waited for Agulos, Blue-eyed Octopus, and their allies.

Ch. 5636Plaintiff Becomes Defendant

Heavenly Wing Demon Lord defended his secret trade with Mechanical Civilization before other Level-12 Temple Lords, arguing that he had not broken any rule or betrayed Evil Swamp Time-Space. He redirected the accusations toward Agulos’s subordinate Dark Giant Crab, leaving Agulos to investigate whether the alleged dealings had been done without his knowledge.

  • Heavenly Wing Demon Lord refrained from killing Deep Blue Walker or making him bear all the blame, since doing so could alienate his other confidants who had benefited from the trade network.
  • Blue-eyed Octopus, Agulos, and Long Ga confronted Heavenly Wing Demon Lord while Jiang Qi and Star Mark observed, and Saine secretly watched through his Curse System Rules methods.
  • Heavenly Wing Demon Lord admitted to economic dealings with Mechanical Civilization but argued that no rule prohibited them and that he had not betrayed Evil Swamp Time-Space.

Agulos recognized the evidence as proof that the Demon Lord had caused his devastating losses, and the dispute erupted into a battle across the starry sky.

  • Saine asked Jiang Qi to act on his behalf and provided him with live memory evidence of his private dealings with the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord.
  • Jiang Qi secretly sent some of Saine’s information to Dragon Ga, who projected it before the assembled Level-12 Strong Practitioners.

  • Kakarot, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and other Destruction Divine Kingdom experts drove back the Dark Nether Death God’s envoys as Locke sent in vast legions through Paradise Lost Time-Space.
  • Dark Universe Time-Space could not reinforce its forces quickly enough, so its armies suffered heavy losses and retreated before the Destruction Divine Kingdom.

Ch. 5640It Shouldn't Be Possible, Right?

Destruction Demon God Locke’s forces overwhelmed Dark Universe Time-Space on the Light Universe battlefield, though Locke could not realistically kill the Dark Nether Death God or easily eliminate the enemy’s Level-12 fighters. The Dark Nether Death God worried about the growing power of destruction on the battlefield and wondered whether Locke could soon reach Level-13 Mid-Stage.

  • Destruction Demon God Locke suppressed the Dark Nether Death God, who held back from drawing heavily on his universe’s source power and expected Locke to target other dimensional forces as well.
  • Kakarot, the Despair Matriarch, and the other Level-12 fighters could suppress the Dark God Envoy, Yin God Envoy, and Nether God Envoy but could not reliably surround and kill them.

Meanwhile, the Mountain Giant King agreed to move the Earth Element Golden Wall World Cluster to Gear Time-Space with the Mechanical Civilization’s help.
