The main control room of the [Heavenly Light], Ferdinand Ackerman's eyes flickered with a trace of pain.

Every summoning of the [Blood God Monster], the second effect, requires such terrifying resources, let alone the ninth effect of the [Map of Gods]—the [Lord of Slaughter]?

Fortunately, all these are undertaken by the Four Great Empires, so the Aclemon Family is not deeply harmed.

Under Ferdinand Ackerman's signal, the fully concentrated combat power of the [Lord of Slaughter] strode upward, quickly charging out of the shield range of Chaos over the [Human Emperor City].

The domain of slaughter rules surrounding it quickly expanded, heading straight towards the Seven-Colored Sky-Supporting Giant Stick smashing down from above.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two sides quickly collided, triggering a staggering martyr explosion billions of kilometers above the Human Emperor City.

Even with the impressive spatial stability of Chaos Divine Land, a large area of space collapse occurred under this mythical explosion.

Only when the energy shockwave of the martyr explosion gradually dissipated did the living beings on both sides see the result of the confrontation.

The Seven-Colored Giant Stick, like a sky-supporting jade pillar, had been retracted by the Mythical Demon Ape at some unknown point, and despite being stopped, Jin Que the Tenth Rank Demon Ape's expression remained calm, clearly unaffected.

In contrast, the Lord of Slaughter, which burst out from [Human Emperor City], although still standing in the sky above the city, clearly had its projection dimmed by several shades.

Just this alone made the strength difference immediately apparent.

However, compared to the increased morale of the alien race outside the city, the moods of the countless captains in the Human Emperor City were surprisingly positive.

Many people understood that they didn't actually have true mythical power, and all mythic units summoned via trump cards were time-limited, and their combat power barely reached the mythical level.

This time, the Mythical Chaos Demon Ape, famed for its combat power, was fully deployed yet blocked by the [Lord of Slaughter] projection with minimal cost, which, instead of disappointing the captains, actually boosted their confidence.

Besides, there was the arrival of the reinforcement troops from the Four Great Empires.

Over three thousand Star-Annihilating Starships and above captains descended together, almost equating to an impossible turnaround against mythical creatures, nothing lifted morale more than this.

The excitement among the Torch Ship Captains did not last long before the Mythical Demon Ape Jin Que acted again from the distant Vault of Heaven, causing everyone in Human Emperor City to tense up once more.

However, meanwhile, billions of Torch Warships never ceased their attacks, launching countless beams of fiery light from within the Chaos Shield, exploding continuously over the alien race congregation on the distant land, taking numerous alien lives at every moment.

Yet no one paid attention to these occurrences at the moment, as Jin Que's Mythical Chaos Demon Ape's subsequent action almost monopolized all attention.

In the Vault of Heaven, the Chaos Demon Ape's right leg, covered in fur, suddenly stepped forward.

Simultaneously, the Blood Qi Power swirling around it rapidly condensed, eventually forming an even more terrifying projection of the Mythical Demon Ape within the realm of Blood Qi Power rules.

[Demon Ape Divine Power - Heaven-Stepping Dharma Aspect]

[Demon Ape Divine Power - Demon Ape Trample]

The continuous activation of two Chaos Demon Ape divine skills caused the newly formed high-lifting right-limb projection of the Demon Ape Dharma Aspect to forcefully stomp down.

Vast quantities of Chaos Energy splashed outward from the Dharma Aspect projection's stomp-center, casting a colossal shadow that almost obscured the entire sky over Human Emperor City.

The Lord of Slaughter projection once again faced it, holding up the Mythical Demon Ape's Dharma Aspect right leg with the opened Realm of Death Rules, halting its downward movement.

Yet, clear-sighted people understood, this balance wouldn't last long; it wouldn't be long before the Lord of Slaughter projection completely disintegrated.

Not only because the inherent combat power of the Lord of Slaughter couldn't match the Chaos Demon Ape Jin Que, but also because the Lord of Slaughter was a projection summoned by a Mythical Artifact, essentially an inanimate object with no sustainable force.

Above Human Emperor City, ten Superdimensional Mother Ships held a joint communication group chat.

"Meng Yi: Your Majesties, this is not the way; we can stall for now, but sustaining it for months or years is tough; what's the stance of the Wizard Civilization?"

"Ying Wei: Only if the Wizard Civilization actively steps in can short-term balance be possibly maintained, which is exactly what we need."

...

Facing the inquiries in the group chat, while focusing on the aerial battle, the three Human Emperors responded correspondingly.

"The response from the Wizard Civilization is vague, merely stating they'll act when appropriate, without giving a specific answer."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yi and others frowned in unison, but as the newly appointed Superdimensional Captains, with considerable seniority as Extreme Star River Captains, they're the epitome of cunning resilience.

Pinning hopes on outsiders, such naive actions do not occur in their minds.

Thus, after a brief frown, someone quickly said:

"True, we didn't harbor high hopes on them anyway; ultimately, we rely on ourselves."

"The truth-seeking strange bunch from the Wizard Civilization, they strive to cultivate an ally community with mutual support, but expecting them to risk everything to support us is implausible."

"In my opinion, they simply want to first assess the capabilities of Torch Humanity, considering aiding only after witnessing satisfactory potential or combat power from us."

"Can't really blame them; after all, our adversaries include the Chaos Demon Ape, Bloodshed, and Dark Moon clans, and later even the Shi Clan might act; even with Wizard Civilization's depth, it's insufficient."

"I agree, regardless, we must fully engage once more, at least strike that Monkey God Jin Que heavily so it won't act easily before the Dark Moon mythical presence arrives."

...

Listening to the group's discussions, the three Human Emperors, who hadn't spoken since initially stating the Wizard Civilization's stance, suddenly said:

"We have a way to injure that Jin Que, but only if it can't dodge!"

However, the group chat fell silent again after this statement.

It's not that no one among the Ninth Rank Captains wanted to act, but rather no one had the confidence.

Freezing a Mythical Creature sounds simple, yet its actual execution is dauntingly challenging.

Not to mention, the Demon Ape's surface rules domain is already tough to breach.

Aside from that, how could a Mythical Creature lack protective measures?

Innate Divine Ability, Defense Strange Object.

With such circumstances, who among the Ninth-Rank Captains dares pledge?

"Anyone with ideas, speak up quickly; the Lord of Slaughter can't last much longer."

As Holy Emperor Ferdinand spoke, the group chat finally had someone tentatively speak:

"I have a colorful upper-level component on my ship, unsure if it can be effective; here's the attribute chart."

Sands of Time lv100

Quality: Colorful / Upper

Feature: Time · Time Stop

...

{Time · Time Stop: Consumes 10,000,000 Spectral Energy Points, freezing time in a designated area, duration depending on area size, and the strength of living beings present; cooldown time fixed at 100 years.}"

The speaker was a Superdimensional Captain of the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, drawing quick attention from the three Human Emperors in the group chat.

Chi Yu Divine Dynasty's Emperor Ji Heng's eyes subtly brightened, quickly asking:

"Xiong Fei, what is the color of your Seed of Torch?"

"Three Colors!"

"Three Colors are still too low, at least Five Colors are needed."

As Ji Heng spoke, exchanging glances with Emperor Ying and Holy Emperor, and lightly nodding, a trace of Ghost Light flickered between his brows, and a Five-Colored radiance-emitting Fire Seed Oddity flew from his Ancestral Torch Aperture.

Along with ten Mythical Souls, it was transmitted to Xiong Fei's Blue Peter ship.

Quickly absorbing that ray of Five-Colored Promotion Fire Source, Xiong Fei promptly enhanced the [Sands of Time] to lv110.

Besides, several others in the group chat also disclosed having colorful lower-level control components on their ships.

"Including Ji Heng's Colorful Extreme Void Lock, it might be worth a try."

"Indeed!"

"Ying Yi, be ready!"

...

Dozens of moments later, above them, the Lord of Slaughter's projection
