Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1142 - 1143: Battlefield

"Simply put, this area is designated for Spirit Beasts who are not Divine Beasts, to handle enemies that breach our defenses. Of course, the Holy Light World is helpless in this situation; its entrance is in Odinis, and until we completely regain authority, we cannot relocate the spatial portal."

"Melansis won’t work either; currently, it seems there is no stable spatial channel available. For now, only the Behemoth World has one. Also, to correct a point, this fortress exists not only in Maomu City. Any place that owns a Data City should have one."

Feng Yuan said, looking at Liao Yu, "It’s easy to guess, Maomu City isn’t particularly special. It’s natural we couldn’t solely rely on Maomu City for defense. If that were the case, we might as well throw it directly at the Alliance headquarters, where at least there are more powerhouses."

"But what’s the point of this?"

Agunas appeared puzzled as he looked towards Feng Yuan. If there were only a few that slipped through the net, why go to such an effort?

"It’s probably for training. After all, world wars have been so frequent lately. It’s not good to always rely solely on you Divine Beasts. Plus, isn’t it a good thing that you can selectively ignore the weaker ones?"

Shrugging, Feng Yuan spoke uncertainly. Although in his view, the enemies that these Spirit Beasts stationed here face could be handled by Divine Beasts with just one or two ultimate moves, if the enemies intentionally scatter, they might indeed tie down the Divine Beasts.

"That’s also true. Those little flies can sometimes be quite annoying. Yes, if it’s as you guessed, we no longer need to specifically hunt down those little flies."

Delong Tower exclaimed with some surprise. Those randomly scurrying small fries were indeed annoying at times. If left unchecked, once they slipped into the real world, they could easily cause destruction there. But chasing them was troublesome as they would scatter, and using big ultimate moves on these minor fishes felt like a loss. Overall, sometimes those creatures indeed disgusted the Divine Beasts.

"You better coordinate with the Alliance and the Divine Beast Hall before proceeding, otherwise if you let the small fries go and there’s no one guarding here, that would be embarrassing."

Feng Yuan reminded, recalling that world wars are not always happening. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the time to keep chasing Hunters. If they start a war without notifying the human side, relying solely on that giant tree would likely be inadequate to hold back the enemies. Moreover, the fortress area is considered a good frontline, equipped with special devices for anti-stealth and anti-infiltration among others; switching to a different area might not easily defend against the enemies.

"Understood."

Delong Tower responded, his eyes becoming somewhat vacant. Feng Yuan could tell that the other party was probably diving into the Divine Beast intelligence network to contact Divine Beasts. He reminded Delong Tower to coordinate with the Alliance and Divine Beast Hall not only because they belong to major human organizations but also because their headquarters were manned by Divine Beasts. Unlike in countries such as Great Xia, where although backed by Divine Beasts, might not be able to immediately contact the corresponding humans, for those Divine Beasts seldom linger in human nations. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Of course, there are exceptions for certain special Divine Beasts. The Fire Vermilion Bird frequently visits Wu Feng but even so, it doesn’t reside permanently by his side.

Besides them, there are Agunas and Veronia. However, Agunas only left an avatar by Feng Yuan’s side, his main body still busy with other matters, while Veronia was restricted by previous constraints and couldn’t stray too far from Feng Yuan.

Other places also have a few Divine Beasts that stay near humans for extended periods, each for their own particular reasons. Aside from them, other Divine Beasts generally do not linger in areas where humans are active, making it inconvenient for them to contact humans.

"Creating this thing without a heads-up, if you hadn’t been idly curious, who knows how long it would take to discover the special circumstances here."

Agunas flicked his tail and complained, Delong Tower glanced at Agunas and said somewhat irritably,

"He’s always been like this, you know that. But even if it weren’t discovered now, in some time we would have realized something was off."

If this place truly served as an interception between Starry Sky and the real world, in time, those Divine Beasts fighting in the Starry Sky would also notice that something was amiss. Although they may not sort out the situation as swiftly as Feng Yuan, figuring out exactly what this was shouldn’t be a significant issue.

"We’re already very close to where the Abyss was located, I estimate that if we keep moving from here, we should reach the location of the Starry Sky."

Looking around, Feng Yuan noted the ancient rock buildings. Although in the real world, the Starry Sky is located in the sky, this doesn’t mean it’s the same in the Data Domain. If Feng Yuan hadn’t noticed the peculiarities here this time, even if Captain Yan and his team had mastered Data Maomu City, they wouldn’t have detected that this battleground below actually connects to the Starry Sky.

"The starry sky underground? What an odd setup."

Liao Yu didn’t suspect if Feng Yuan was mistaken, as Divine Beasts would quickly detect if it truly connected to the starry sky, and they were aware that those Divine Beasts enjoy testing themselves in the starry sky, so they naturally knew that those Divine Beasts generally have the capability to enter or exit the starry sky.

As for humans, things were different; even with the protection of Legendary Level Spirit Beasts, humans rarely ventured into the starry sky. Of course, this also had to do with the lack of useful things in the starry sky, the absence of resources, and the frequent fierce battles among Divine Beasts. Maybe beings at the level of Sacred Beasts could enter, but who fully fed would bother going to such a place just to stumble into trouble?

"Let’s go down and take a look. But what exactly are these paths?"

Upon reaching the edge of the circular platform, Feng Yuan murmured to himself while looking down into the dark, deep void. At this moment, a three-dimensional map appeared before them, different from the previous maps, composed of red lines and with a line of small text in the lower right corner:

Special area, the map will not update in real-time.

"Could it be that these platforms can move?"

Feng Yuan thoughtfully looked towards the center of the circular platform. Typically, the control hub should be right in the middle, yet there was nothing in the center of the circular platform.

"It seems like the city lord needs to make arrangements; this area can allocate seventy-two defenders, but each defender can control a different number of stone platforms."

Looking at the message panel, Liao Yu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding why this was the case. Veronia, however, understood and asked,

"Is it perhaps that those stationed closer to the bottom can control more stone platforms?"

"It seems like... indeed."

After waiting for a while for Captain Yan’s reply, Liao Yu said somewhat embarrassed, now understanding why this was. The lowest level must be the closest to the starry sky, and in a real battle, that position would undoubtedly receive the most severe attacks. These stone platforms were not indestructible. The nearer to the possibly intense battle areas, having more stone platforms distributed there wasn’t that abnormal, right?

"Warfare is everywhere..."

Qi Chen muttered with an indescribable expression, and Feng Yuan smiled slightly, saying,

"This here is merely a precaution. A major new world war is unlikely to occur at this time, after all, no one can move around now—"

Although the invasion of this world by the Abyss wasn’t its main body, it still was a part of the Abyss. The destruction of that entity would naturally cause disturbances in the Abyss; currently, few worlds would dare to wander recklessly, fearing accidentally bumping into the Abyss, which would be troublesome.

"Will this have an impact on us?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and asked. They were also aware of the disturbances in the Abyss, as they were the main forces in world wars and had to be aware of any anomalies surrounding them. However, facing the Abyss, Agunas felt extremely powerless. If it weren’t for Feng Yuan’s intervention previously, they wouldn’t have been able to drive that entity away.

In the vicinity of this world, many tendrils of the Abyss were distributed, those being extensions from the body of the Abyss itself. If they accidentally encountered these, it could likely lead to great chaos.

"Is it safer, or not?"

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with a smile that was not quite a smile, saying, "If there really was a problem, how could I not handle it beforehand?" Although the Abyss had left many tendrils, he deliberately allowed this, knowing those tendrils wouldn’t actively attack the nearby worlds. Moreover, due to the presence of those tendrils, other worlds also dare not wander over here.

The lower-tier worlds wandered everywhere merely to avoid detection by higher-tier worlds hunting them down, and the network formed by those tendrils precisely prevented these higher-tier worlds from passing through, after all, the higher the rank of the world, the larger its size, and the gaps between the tendrils couldn’t accommodate the passage of those large-sized worlds.
