The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After making his plans, Rein did not waste anymore time and immediately went to tell the true gods of the human race about what he found out. At first, the true gods were unwilling to believe that someone as young as Rein was capable of capturing a demon god but when Rein easily defeated one of the oldest true gods without much trouble, they were forced to take Rein seriously.

After convincing all the higher ups of the human race, Rein told them the information that he was told. The expression on the faces of the true gods became more and more serious as they listened to what Rein was saying.

If what Rein had learnt from the demon god was absolutely true then the human race was in a lot of trouble. With time, the gap in power between the humans and demons would continuously shorten and one day the demons would be able to surpass the humans in power. That day would be the end for humanity.

So the best thing for the human race to for the time being would be to forcefully attack the demon race with all their might. They did not have the time in hand to calmly wait for the grand array formation to be completed.

All the true gods were also very worried because of the existence of the traitors. The people who had betrayed the human race this time were not insignificant people. They were for somewhat famous sects. So if more and more traitors like this appeared among the humans. It would become a massive trouble.

So after discussing about the current circumstances for some time, everyone present in the room decided to launch a joint attack on the stronghold of the demon race. The only reason why this plan was a success was because Rein had managed to find some locations from where even the humans would be able to enter the spatial rift.

...

There were a total of 35 true gods among the human race. This was a huge number but as the demon gods were stronger than a human true god individually, the difference in number was not that big.

Most of the three or more human true gods needed to team up together to fight a demon god and with the existence of someone like the demon sovereign who was stronger than even the demon gods, this advantage in number did not look that useful anymore.

Even though the humans were planning to attack the demons with full force, not all 35 true gods would be able to join the attacking team. It was important for some true gods to stay behind to guard the human race. So after a lot of thinking, everyone decided that 25 true gods would join Rein in attacking the spatial rift and 10 remaining ones would stay with the race to guard it.

As for the date when this attack would happen, Rein decided that doing it as soon as possible was the best option. The other true gods also agreed with him and so everyone was ready to attack the spatial rift just the next day. A force of 25 true gods leading almost ten thousand elite cultivators was a majestic scene.

Some of the true gods were planning to attack with a team only consisting of the true gods but this proposal was rejected. The reason for that was the fact that inside the spatial rift, the whole demon race would try to struggle. Their numbers would be extremely high and they would also be familiar with the area of the spatial rift.

In that case, even the weaker demons would try to assist their demon gods. And even for a veteran true god, losing concentration in the middle of battling an opponent of the same level was very dangerous. So they needed other humans to hold those demons off so that the true gods would be able to focus on defeating all the demon gods.

As for the ten thousand elite, almost seven thousand more humans would also be joining in this expedition. These humans would be used as meat shields and canary birds to check the dangers. All of them were from the sects who had betrayed the human race, so instead of directly killing them, the human true gods decided that using them as sacrificial pawn was much better.

Rein had also told the true gods that any information he had managed to gain from this demon god might also be a trap. Demons were cunning and the humans had no doubt about that after fighting them for so long. So even if the chance of this information being accurate was very high, Rein was still very cautious.

If what he thought was correct then this whole demon calamity was created by the world itself to be a test for him. The world was very aware of Rein's strength so what it had planned as a test for him would definitely not be simple.

Rein was ready for something unexpected to happen. He was guessing that the demons might be aware that the humans were planning to attack them and they were prepared. This would be a very hard situation as fighting someone well prepared in their own home ground was extremely difficult.

But even if that was the case, the humans still needed to push on as giving more time to the fast growing demons would be foolish. So even if it was risky, the humans needed to fight a decisive battle right now.

...

The demon god that Rein had captured knew a total of 11 locations where the double sided entrances were. But Rein had already sensed that quite a few demons were already keeping a close eye on those areas. Actually demons were observing almost all the nodes but still the honed sense of the true gods were able to sense that the location mentioned by that demon god was more strictly guarded.

This confirmed one thing which was the fact that the demons were already aware that humans had captured one of their demon gods. This made sense as a great demon god getting missing for so long was definitely suspicious.

And by guarding these places, it was also proved that the information that this demon god knew was not probably correct. Even if it was not 100 percent true, there was at least some truth to it. But it could be that the demons were just too cunning and were luring the humans into a well planned trap.

Even after knowing that it might be a trap, the humans did not have any other choice but to go to the trap by themselves. In this critical situation, everyone was decisive. So with the determination to break through any traps with brute force, the humans immediately went to check the first location where a two way node of the spatial rift was supposed to be.
