Chapter 897: Taking Advantage of the Chaos

The expeditionary force led by the three supreme gods—Mo Lin, Kechi, and Müller—consisting of over a hundred thousand warriors assembled in a certain location in the starry sky and set off in grand fashion toward the Vah region, millions of miles away.
The Vah region was the domain ruled by the Supreme God Vah, roughly the same size as Mo Lin’s region, with thousands of higher gods serving under one supreme god.
Although the three supreme gods were uniting to launch this attack, victory was not guaranteed. After all, these over a hundred thousand warriors were merely divine avatars, while Vah’s gods had both their true forms and avatars, making their overall strength far greater.
Su Che estimated that Vah must have already received the news, but due to the extremely slow movement of their divine kingdoms, they surely wouldn’t have time to evacuate.
After two days of marching, they could finally see the Vah region in the starry sky, composed of thousands of divine kingdoms. On the surface, it seemed no different from Mo Lin’s region, and Su Che, as an outsider, couldn’t tell the difference.
Boom… boom… boom…
A peculiar vibration spread through the starry sky, like the sound of war drums. Since sound couldn’t travel normally in space, similar shock waves were used in its place.
Soon, tens of thousands of light points flew out from various divine kingdoms in the Vah region. In the blink of an eye, they formed a massive army of gods that confronted the allied forces from afar.
At first glance, the enemy seemed to number only tens of thousands, but everyone knew these were their true forms, and they could summon two or more divine avatars at any time, so their total number wouldn’t be much less than theirs.
To defend their divine kingdoms, Vah’s gods would surely resist with all their might, even willing to sacrifice their avatars and perish alongside their enemies.
“Mo Lin, Kechi, Müller—you three fools! Aren’t you afraid of angering me, King Valon?”
A grotesque giant, several dozen feet tall, with a ferocious appearance and clad in a fur cloak, floated forward, his roar shaking the starry sky. Undoubtedly, this was the Supreme God Vah.
Without Osen’s introduction, Su Che could tell that this Vah was not a normal human. The army of gods he led was the same—clearly different from human deities, radiating a strong aura of wildness, ferocity, and tyranny.
Mo Lin snapped, “Vah, you should have expected this for all the things you did in the past. King Valon won’t protect you either…”
The other two supreme gods, Kechi and Müller, also angrily rebuked Vah. It seemed that the invading side, who had started the war, actually resembled the side of justice.

Su Che certainly didn’t care about any grudges between them; he just needed to take advantage of the chaos to his advantage. Who was right or wrong had nothing to do with him. At the same time, Su Che reminded himself not to look down on these deities just because they were weak—he should still be as cautious as possible. After all, the Holy Radiance Universe was the oldest universe in chaos, and even the Origin Demons had never bothered them, which proved that this world’s power system had unique strengths that couldn’t be underestimated. The four main gods cursed at each other for a while, and before long, the great battle among the gods finally broke out. “Kill them all!” It was actually the Main God Vah who gave the order to attack first, showing just how violent his nature was—he was the kind of madman who acted without considering consequences. “Kill!” The gods of Vah roared into the sky, summoning their divine avatars. In the blink of an eye, forty thousand turned into over a hundred thousand, charging forward in a storm. “Attack!” Mo Lin, Kai Qi, and Mueller also gave orders at the same time. The entire army launched an attack, covering thousands of miles in an instant. The two armies of deities collided, sparking a chaotic battle that shook the heavens and earth. “Stay close to me,” Su Che whispered in Osen’s ear. “Understood,” Osen replied softly, knowing that to protect his own divine avatar, he relied on Su Che’s protection. The so-called chaos at first wasn’t one-on-one fights but rather battles involving groups of around a thousand. The invading army consisted of a hundred high-ranking gods leading a thousand mid-ranking gods, forming formations that created over a hundred small battlefields in the starry sky. The frenzied slaughter began! The invading army was entirely made up of divine avatars, and everyone knew their purpose was purely to be sacrificial fodder—they were here to fight to the death. Despite their reluctance before setting out, once the fighting started, they no longer cared about such things. Kill! Killing one was enough to break even; killing two meant a profit. Since the fate of sacrificial fodder was inevitable, they would do their best to earn military merits, so as to receive more rewards after victory to make up for their losses. After all, their true bodies and other avatars were hiding in a very safe rear area—they wouldn’t really die, so what was there to fear? Kill! In the starry sky, various magical attacks bloomed everywhere—colorful and magnificent, like huge fireworks exploding across the night sky, dreamlike and extremely spectacular.

Within less than three breaths after the war began, a large number of divine avatars were reduced to ashes under the intense attacks from the enemy—these were all lower-tier mid-tier gods. Once their divine avatars died, the true gods in their bases millions of miles away merely exhaled in resignation, saying, “Well, my role as cannon fodder is complete.” That’s all there was to it. On the starry battlefield, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a murky atmosphere filled the air; beneath the brilliant fireworks lay scenes of extreme cruelty. In just a few breaths, the area where Su Che was located suffered dozens of spells, but all were blocked by an invisible defensive barrier. For Su Che, it was as if a group of Golden Immortals were attacking him—a force far too weak to even scratch him, so he didn’t need to defend himself at all. With just a thought, he could withstand the attacks using his mental power. However, Su Che noticed that after each divine avatar died, a gray-black murky mass would form, which then instantly solidified into a dark, deep-black crystal. Seizing these black crystals proved how many enemies he had killed on the battlefield. Clearly, these crystals represented the number of kills, serving as a measure of military achievements. Whoosh! With a thought, Su Che absorbed over a hundred newly formed black crystals from the chaos and handed them to Osen beside him. “So many soul crystals!” Osen was overjoyed and quickly stored these divine soul crystals. No one else noticed their little maneuver, so curses filled the air: “Damn it! I finally killed one, but the soul crystal is gone. What’s going on?” “Which bastard stole my soul crystal?” “Who? Who stole my soul crystal? How dare you?” “Damn it, who is it…” The unlucky few didn’t even finish cursing before being obliterated by an incoming attack, turning into gray-black murky masses that then turned into soul crystals, falling into the hands of others. Before long, Su Che realized that these gods in the Holy Light Universe, whether their true forms or divine avatars, would produce such heavy murky masses after death, which instantly transformed into divine soul crystals. “What’s the use of these soul crystals?” Su Che asked curiously.

Under Su Che’s protection, Orson remained calm and unharmed, having the leisure to explain, “Divine Soul Crystals have many uses—they can be used to expand the divine kingdom, create duplicates, or forge divine artifacts, and so on.”
“Not bad at all.”
Su Che smiled silently. With another thought, he once again plundered dozens of Divine Soul Crystals from the chaotic battlefield in a practically shameless manner and gave them to Orson.
Half of these Soul Crystals came from ‘his own people’—the lowest-ranking members of the allied forces, those most unfortunate mid-tier gods who died and had their souls condensed into these crystals.
The reason it was called stealing was that Su Che hadn’t killed a single person yet; he had merely watched from the sidelines.
These Soul Crystals were useless to him. What he wanted was to capture them alive.
After a dozen breaths, the two armies were completely mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish friends from enemies—this was the perfect moment for Su Che to take advantage of the chaos.
Over two hundred thousand people were intertwined, with various spells exploding among them in a scene of utter chaos. In such a situation, Su Che’s actions became completely unnoticed.
“Kill them!”
Within the allied forces, several high-tier gods led their mid-tier god subordinates, uniting at least fifty people to launch a fierce attack on a small group of Vahk gods hundreds of feet away. But…
In an instant, those Vahk gods—no fewer than a dozen—disappeared mysteriously.
Group invisibility?
No, definitely not!
Even if they were invisible, attacking spells could shake them out of their hidden state.
Yet, the fact remained: those dozen Vahk gods simply vanished mysteriously, seemingly without any resistance, instantly erased by their combined attack.
“That’s strange. Even if they died, there should be Soul Crystals left, right?”
They were extremely surprised, but on the battlefield, they had no time to overthink things, because over a hundred Vahk gods from another direction had already locked onto them and launched a joint attack.
Swish!
In just an instant, something astonishing happened to those Vahk gods—the dozens of invading gods they had targeted disappeared without reason, leaving no trace in the sky.
What was going on?
Only Su Che knew that those dozens of invading gods had been captured and silenced by him, taken into the Immortal Prison.

Seizing groups here and there, Su Che led Orson through the starry sky, ignoring all attacks from around them. Whenever they encountered joint squads no larger than a hundred people, they would capture them all alive and send them to the Immortal Prison, regardless of which side they belonged to. At the same time, they didn’t miss any divine soul crystals that had just formed in the starry sky either; they collected them all and gave them to Orson. In less than fifteen minutes, Orson’s storage space contained thousands of soul crystals, leaving him so excited that he could barely speak coherently. “So many soul crystals! Even if some aren’t suitable, we can exchange them for military merits. Just keeping them to expand our divine kingdom would be an unimaginably huge gain!” A single soul crystal represented the essence of the divine power and soul force of a divine avatar. The effect of using them to expand the divine kingdom was equivalent to thousands of years of his own efforts. So, what could thousands of soul crystals mean? What made Orson even more excited was that he knew full well the war had just begun, and a thousand soul crystals were merely the start…
