"Bill says at least ten more days, very soon."
One-Eyed Owl stepped forward to answer.
The others were still experiencing the terrifying power brought by the divine cores.
Lin Tian hummed in acknowledgment, "You all adapt well first. Let Luo Ai'er teach you the specific operating methods. I need to rest."
Splitting out ten complete divine cores at once.
This directly scared Luo Ai'er to pieces.
The currently existing divine cores had all been split over tens of thousands of years.
Because initially, the limit might be splitting just one, and only after time's precipitation could more be split.
Luo Ai'er's expression remained shocked throughout, "Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of divine core is this exactly? Just obtained and can already split ten divine cores. Could it be dominator-level?!"
According to her understanding, above god king level was dominator level, and above that she wasn't clear.
"I'm not too sure either. Do Goblin Kill and Sara really not want any? I can still split more."
Lin Tian looked aside and asked.
Goblin Kill had a prideful expression, "I'm already tired of fighting. Helping manage the Goblin Empire's commercial economy is quite interesting."
Sara was respectful, "I'm a summoner. Becoming a god wouldn't be particularly useful, but if possible, just give me a lower-level divine core."
As a Trojan, what she pursued was nothing more than the two words 'glory'.
Becoming a god would be the highest and greatest glory in all Trojan history.
But this kind of glory picked up without helping felt unprincipled to Sara.
"The divine cores I split are all at least god king level. Since you say that, then wait until I've rested well later, then I'll give them to you."
Lin Tian said indifferently.
Then he looked at everyone again, "You all study the use of divine cores well under Luo Ai'er's guidance. I'm going to rest."
Lin Tian's body now felt completely drained.
That kind of truly not-a-drop-left emptiness!
Even though goblins could quickly replenish stamina by devouring flesh and blood.
But this kind of emptiness was useless no matter how much you ate.
For this, Goblin Berserker even went to the military city and slaughtered an angel, but unfortunately eating angel flesh was also useless.
It was like life force weakness.
Lin Tian could only lie down for a day or two first.
After Luo Ai'er's amazement, she began teaching One-Eyed Owl, Elizabeth and others.
...
Present world.
"Splash splash!"
On the golden beach of a vast sea area, waves were turbulent!
Great waves washing sand.
From those turbulent waves, strange monsters crawled out - fish-men covered in scales.
Also giant water scorpions with hard shells all over.
Or smooth killer squid.
Without exception, all had strength above twelfth-tier monsters!
Dense masses crawling out piece by piece.
"Swoosh!"
A water column shot skyward from the seawater behind!
Poseidon stood on the water column, holding a gleaming trident, saying coldly, "Depart for the city of evil sages! Don't dawdle!"
Dense masses of ocean monsters, demi-humans, and even undead successively climbed ashore.
Advancing toward one direction.
At the same time.
Various mountains, forests, swamps, lakes, deserts, snowfields...
All had gods coming to issue orders.
Whoever dared disobey would face genocide in the future.
So even if unwilling, they had to go, and didn't dare slack off.
This time only required beings of twelfth-tier strength and above. Even if they demanded all creatures, they'd have to go.
Soon from all directions, mighty monster armies began marching.
Stirring wind and clouds!
This army totaled exactly three hundred million troops!!
And the weakest had around ten thousand combat power.
This was an unprecedented terrifying force.
All battles between divine courts in history had never reached such scale.
City of evil sages.
Those surviving monsters, demi-humans, and old god organization members were rebuilding houses.
A minotaur couldn't help looking toward the distance, saying gravely, "Everyone, why do I have such a strong sense of unease..."
Others working also showed fearful expressions.
At this time.
Three intense, terrifying auras struck from the direction of the dwarven fortress.
The minotaur hurriedly looked, "Go... goblins? Seem to be trusted aides beside His Majesty Lin Tian!"
"My god, are these still goblins? Low-level monsters I once wouldn't even deign to glance at."
"Shh! You want to die?! Shut up quickly!"
"Everyone prepare to salute."
A group of monsters and demi-humans discussed, adjusting their state and putting down their work.
Welcoming the arrival of Goblin Berserker and others.
Goblin Heaven instantly flashed to a beam of ruined, broken house remains, saying coldly, "Our boss's deep benevolence predicted that soon large numbers of creatures will besiege the city of evil sages. You all follow into the fortress."
Goblin Berserker swept his gaze over the crowd - no one dared meet his eyes!
Because now he was already a goblin god, with combat power reaching sixty thousand!
"Remember, if you dare have crooked thoughts, kill without mercy!"
Goblin Berserker said harshly.
Actually this wasn't Lin Tian's great mercy, but if these guys weren't won over, seeing that three hundred million creature army, they'd immediately defect.
Soon, residents of the city of evil sages successively transferred into the fortress.
...
Dwarven royal palace.
Lin Tian's expression was heavy. He had just entered a life simulation once, "Three hundred million... three hundred million armies with over ten thousand combat power each. Really surprising."
But, just needed to stay in the fortress, quietly waiting for Bill's side to complete all forging.
Elizabeth and others were also summoned to the council.
"Three hundred million! Are they crazy!"
Luo Ai'er immediately exclaimed.
When they were this world's top gods, facing enemies they never mobilized other creatures to help.
One-Eyed Owl clenched his fist, saying angrily, "These guys are truly unscrupulous!"
Elizabeth pondered, suddenly thinking of something, "Let Master Bill complete the final tempering for us first, to resist that three hundred million army!"
Such a terrifying army force - she couldn't imagine how the fortress could withstand it.
Must strike first.
But Bill had actually already forged most weapons and magic tools, just lacking the final craftsman god tempering.
Lin Tian shook his head, "I've looked into it. The craftsman god platform's tempering liquid produces slowly. Once tempering begins, the remainder will be scrapped, so all weapons need to be crafted and tempered simultaneously."
Everyone's expressions were troubled, not knowing what to do.
"However, you're overthinking. Even if all weapons were fully forged, it's useless. Three hundred million! That's three hundred million creature armies of twelfth-tier strength and above! Can only rely on the fortress's defenses to reduce them. Don't go anywhere."
Lin Tian spoke again.
Such a terrifying army - even god kings would be worn to death alive.
So during this time, could only hide in the fortress.
Didn't even dare return to the Goblin Empire. If targeted, such cities would instantly become ruins.
Hearing this.
One-Eyed Owl said despairingly, "Then isn't this too frustrating? Without any reason they directly mobilize such massive force to exterminate us. Damn Aesir gods, Olympian gods, Sun gods!!!"
"Frustrating? Hmph, I don't feel frustrated at all."
Lin Tian smiled contemptuously, evil light flickering in his eyes.
Then he called out, "Follow me to the dwarven treasury. Move all those cannons out and install them."
Currently, more than half the fortress areas were covered by earth and stone.
Only the front was exposed with cannons installed. But other sides of the fortress also had cannon ports pre-set, just not installed yet.
Everyone hurriedly went to the dwarven treasury.
Opening the gate over twenty meters high, inside was pitch black.
"Hey!~~"
Saying anything casually could hear long, endless echoes, making one's bones shudder.
Could estimate this treasury was unimaginably large.
Lin Tian pressed a switch behind the gate.
"Swoosh!"
Lights successively lit up.
What met the eyes were dense masses of dark cannons!
All calibers available!
Estimated to be hundreds of thousands!
Lin Tian gasped, "Hiss, more than I imagined. Go call several million goblins over. Must install everything within two days."
"Mm!"
Goblin Berserker nodded.
"So many cannons, hahaha! This is interesting!"
One-Eyed Owl felt inexplicably excited.
The corner of Lin Tian's mouth slightly raised, "We already have overwhelming advantage against those divine courts. Just need to clear all creature armies. Dealing with them will be much simpler instead."
Looking at these cannons.
Lin Tian had to admiringly sigh at Dwarf King Brutus.
His fortress plan could indeed let dwarves live stable lives.
This was undeniable.
Regardless of his character, his forging skills were absolutely top-tier.
Soon large quantities of goblins began coming to the treasury to transport cannons.
Among them were three main cannons with calibers reaching three meters!
Inside the fortress.
Could see dark masses of cannons and goblins constantly working on the surrounding walls.
All loaded into pre-set cannon port positions.
Those dwarves watching such grand preparations couldn't help speculating.
After all, nothing like this had ever happened.
Lin Tian had also recovered somewhat, inspecting cannons in the fortress wall combat platform areas, "Energy cannons, gunpowder cannons, even poison gas cannons. This Brutus is truly surprising."
Fortunately, he went with the flow then, managing to enter the fortress.
Otherwise Lin Tian absolutely couldn't break through the fortress defenses.
Because the fortress material was second only to Gang Steel alloy in hardness, even enchanted with magic weakening.
When approached, magic attacks would be reduced by at least 90% power.
"How are the ammunition supplies?"
Lin Tian asked Elizabeth who came over.
Elizabeth nodded, "Cleared out. Energy stones, gunpowder, poison gas stones - these ammunition materials each have about a hundred million, completely sufficient."
The opponent had three hundred million creature armies.
But these shells had splash attacks, area effects.
One strike could eliminate several, even a large area.
So completely sufficient.
"Boss, I just scouted the surroundings. Many, many monsters, demi-humans, undead, and humans are already lurking in the mountain forests. And there are some extremely powerful existences - I suspect they're gods."
Suddenly, a voice rang from Lin Tian's shadow.
Scared both him and Elizabeth to shudder.
Leah slowly appeared, saying apologetically, "Sorry boss, Lady Elizabeth. Did I scare you?"
Elizabeth was somewhat helpless, calming down, "It's fine."
Lin Tian angrily pinched her flawless, white, chubby cheeks, "How many times have I told you not to suddenly appear from my shadow..."
This wasn't the first time.
Continuing like this, Lin Tian would develop shadow phobia.
Had to say this shadow power was extremely abnormal. Not just combat - even for reconnaissance it was extremely strong.
All things had shadows.
So could almost come and go freely.
Even gods were helpless against her, unless using control magic before hiding in shadows.
"From now on don't go out. You all... have you played tower defense games?"
Lin Tian said again, his tone somewhat evil.
Tower defense games?
Elizabeth and Leah were full of question marks.
They naturally didn't understand.
But next would be an exhilarating tower defense game for Lin Tian.
Operating cannons, blasting away happily!
...
Outside the city of evil sages.
About ten kilometers away, pairs of sinister eyes glowed red in the dense forest.
Staring fixedly at the dwarven fortress in the distant ruins.
"Swoosh!"
A water column flew from afar, splashing down and transforming into Sea God Poseidon.
Behind him were dense masses of ocean monsters, demi-humans, and marine undead.
Then.
A mass of black energy flew from underground, condensing into Hades' form.
Behind him was a dense undead army.
Some all bones, some ethereal, some massive.
In this world, undead were special existences that could ignore physical attacks.
In the distance.
Athena led large human legions.
All believers of gods, and those forced to participate.
About ten million, but unquestionably formidable in strength.
The remaining various monsters and demi-humans formed the largest army of over two hundred million.
Obediently following behind Zeus.
From afar, the entire army surrounded the dwarven fortress in a square formation.
The terrible aura rising skyward rendered the sky dark and oppressive, suffocating!
Like the magnificent calm before a storm.
A brilliant golden throne floated in mid-air, Zeus sitting leisurely upon it while attendants constantly pleased him.
In this situation, being able to stand beside Zeus and please him was already supreme glory!
The dense creature armies behind were extremely envious.
Odin and others also stood on a giant magic circle, floating in the air.
"Zeus, at this time you still have the mood to eat, drink and make merry?"
Odin joked.
Previously he looked very anxious.
Hearing this.
Zeus slowly opened his mouth to taste a glowing grape handed by an attendant's jade hand, but that foul, filthy tongue didn't forget to rub against those jade fingers.
A few bites devoured this grape that only grew in Crystal Holy Land, producing at most three pounds per year.
"Hahaha, advantage is mine. Now it's actually worth celebrating!"
Then Zeus laughed wildly.
Three hundred million armies - could even crusade against heretical worlds.
What was there to fear in this world?
Whoever came would die.
Horus had fire wings growing from his back, saying similarly, "Indeed worth celebrating. Can eliminate such a serious hidden danger! Hahaha!"
What they feared was exactly this, and now victory was assured.
Not good news, but better than good news.
