Chapter 1044 Bound to Die
Chapter 1044 Bound to Die
As the destruction of the Tekur land continued, various events happened. First of all, Hiraku and Mekhaz were forced to increase their efforts, not because the Tekur Queen fought more valiantly, which she did after finding out her subjects in the Tekur land were dying, but mostly to block her from escaping the Origin Expanse.
The most important aspect of the fight against the Tekur Queen was to keep her in the Origin Expanse since only a portion of the Divine Tekur Lords stayed back. They were killed, just like the Normie Tekur, whose faith in the Tekur Queen had acted as a channel of power. The Tekur Queen's problem was not even the death of a few million Tekur. It was okay, even if a few planets filled with Tekur would be destroyed. Her Faith power would decrease a little with the destruction of a planet, but the greatest issue was the loss of Faith ALL Tekur felt.
The Tekur trusted their queen and were loyal beyond measure to her. They believed she would rescue them soon and deploy some forces to take care of all issues. However, nobody came to rescue them. Hours of death and destruction passed, in which the Tekur Queen didn't do anything. She was busy in the Origin Expanse and couldn't do much, but it was not like the Normie Tekur cared.
All the Tekur cared about was one particular fact; Their beloved queen wasn't doing anything.
Their faith in her power and protective nature shattered. It wasn't immediate, but with every minute of utter silence, some of their faith crumbled. Almost half a day passed, in which several planets had been conquered and the population eradicated until every Tekur had learned about the Tekur Queen's silence. She was idle, let her strongest powerhouses die as if they were cretin, and didn't do anything about the danger.
Too many good people died.
Their trust in their beloved queen was broken, and hatred and disgust replaced their love and loyalty.
Their faith was broken.
That was something the Tekur Queen noticed. She had noticed the crumbling faith of her subjects but didn't do something right away. She killed almost all Divine Subordinates, leaving less than one hundred of them alive, but never escaped the Origin Expanse. Someone – the Tekur Queen was still unsure who it was – blocked her access to her spatial-type Artifact and the Runic Gate. She was blocked and couldn't escape the Origin Expanse, no matter how hard she tried.
The Tekur Queen sent her Divine Tekur some messages, those who were still alive at least, and told them to leave to protect her subjects, but the Divine Tekur were either weakened or killed in the Origin Expanse, or they had to protect their own territories from the bombardment of the Azure Quetzalcoatl. The Tekur Queen forced them to leave using the authority she had over her children, pulling the Divine Tekur Lords out of the Origin Expanse. That was the death sentence of the Tekur Lords. They left their territories without additional protection, which was something the Tekur Nests required to prevail the Azure Quetzalcoatl's mythical flames.
Still forced to leave, the Tekur Lord did exactly that. They moved out of the Origin Expanse, where the Azure Quetzalcoatl and the remaining forces of the Untamed Jungle, including millions of jungle monsters, wreaked havoc. Many Untamed Forces died to the Tekur Queen and her loyal subjects, but the subjects were now dead, and the Tekur Queen would follow them soon.
The Tekur Lords were killed by the Seven Hells Armies or the other organizations easily after they lost their territories, and thus, the Lord Power benefits. Their Soul Power dropped to an all-time low, decreasing their combat prowess drastically. They died quickly, further diminishing the Tekur Queen's Faith power.
After Mekhaz and Hiraku stalled the Tekur Queen for a day – they had to use more than a dozen Plunder Crystals with thousands of Superior Energy Stones to replenish their energy –, she was too weak to go on. The Tekur Queen struggled desperately, trying her utmost to survive, but it was to no avail.
Not even when she turned around to escape and run for her life upon realizing the Untamed Armies got to her did she succeed. The Super Awakened, more than 100 Super Awakened survived the battle, combined their forces and initiated one final attack.
The Tekur Queen screeched and killed a dozen Divine Subordinates in a last-ditch effort to escape and increase her strength, but nothing worked. The Super Awakened were stronger and more durable than the Divine Subordinates. Thus, they dealt a finishing blow, tearing the Tekur Queen apart.
The Tekur Queen collapsed to the ground with a loud thud, which resounded through the crimson battlefield. The Tekur stopped moving suddenly and stared in their queen's direction in shock and surprise. Their queen had never lost. She always succeeded no matter where she went. How was that possible? How did she die? Was all of this a dream? A nightmare?
The Tekur couldn't believe what happened and stared at their queen's carcass with blank expressions. The Untamed Forces were surprised by their act and stopped fighting as well, but they regained their senses a moment later. The unmoving Tekur were slain without hesitation. They were treated worse like cattle, killed, and thrown aside to make space for the next Tekur statues.
The Tekur on the crimson battlefield were annihilated in the next few minutes. Some regained their senses a few minutes into the trance but were overwhelmed by the massive forces of the Untamed Armies. After that, the Untamed Armies moved deeper into the Tekur territories to get rid of every single one of them.
Meanwhile, Mekhaz, Hiraku, and the others who were also responsible for the Tekur Queen's death stored her corpse and brought it back to the Wooden Manor in the Untamed Jungle.
Only the Divine Subordinates were left with the remaining Untamed Armies to clean the Origin Expanse from all Tekur. Last but not least, the injured were pulled from the battlefield and brought to the Untamed Jungle, where they received ample treatment. No one who reached the Untamed Jungle alive died on that day.
Michael welcomed the combatants with his daughter. He didn't participate in the battle with the Tekur for his subordinates told him they wanted to get rid of her and everything revolving around the Tekur without his help.
Nonetheless, Michael helped them come up with enough strategies to kill the Tekur Queen and weaken her. Though the plans were rather simple. If the Tekur Queen had been ignorant and stayed away from the Origin Expanse, which was the expected reaction, they would have killed all Tekur in their territories to strengthen the Super Awakened further until reaching the Tekur Queen's territory. If she still hadn't moved to the Origin Expanse to protect her territory, they would have conquered it, taking away the Tekur Queen's soul power.
On the other hand, if she had jumped into the Origin Expanse, the Tekur Queen would have to fight the Super Awakened and Divine Subordinates in the Origin Expanse while her subjects in the Tekur land would still be attacked by Sylth and others.
One way or another, the Tekur Queen couldn't be everywhere to protect her living subjects and her territory. She may have had powerful subjects, but the Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened were strong enough to deal with them.
The Tekur Queen was bound to die.
Her reign ended.
As of today, Michael would become the rightful owner of Faith.
Upgraded to a God-grade Soultrait, of course.
