Arriving Fashionably Late

Only a few minutes had passed.

At the temporary frontline command center of the Main Family Council's [Tenth Court].

A figure emerged from the darkness and suddenly descended.

The [Shadow Elder], who had only just arrived, looked out and saw nothing but devastation and misery.

Severed limbs littered the ground, along with disordered corpses everywhere...

Scorching waves of fire and chaotic chakra surged and expanded wildly, engulfing a vast stretch of the surrounding starry sky...

Large numbers of slaves were fleeing outward.

Only a handful of Otsutsuki Main Family officers were actively suppressing the chaos and gathering the remaining troops...

Even.

That elder-exclusive mount, the [Velvet Turtle], had vanished as well.

No one knew whether it had been blown to pieces or taken away...

Clearly.

A fierce battle had just taken place here—and it had been a one-sided crushing defeat.

The [Shadow Elder] could still sense the abundant residual evil energy fluctuations and law fluctuations lingering here.

As for Elder [Ling Shi] himself.

He had disappeared as well.

Judging by the situation, he was most likely dead.

Looking farther into the distance.

The situation at the foremost front line was equally dire.

The [Otsutsuki Slave Army], which had originally held the advantage, had gradually collapsed after losing its commander, Ling Shi.

It was now being driven back by the [Jashin Cult].

Not only had the enemy retaken the defensive line, but they were even eagerly attempting to counterattack toward the [Otsutsuki] side.

By the looks of it.

This round of "fortification assault" had been utterly defeated.

Unless the [Otsutsuki] side was willing to take the risk and commit several more [Demigods] to the battlefield.

Using absolute power to break through the defensive line!

They might be able to regain the advantage.

Unfortunately.

How could the Otsutsuki possibly spare any more
