Chapter 1592: The Second Warehouse

Kthanid said, "Can't we say the same of you, Eternal Sun? The Soul Hunter Iod, the Silent Howler Arwassa, the Star Devourer Ammutseba, the Space Expander Bugg-Shash, and the One from Beyond Vibur."

Iod was the compound eye. "It looks like you haven't learned the lesson from last time if you're appearing before us again."

Kthanid of Excellence was the octopus surrounded with diamond dust. "If you weren't so despicable as to ally with the Demonic Temple, you would never have been able to best us."

Arwassa was the monster with four huge tentacles, no teeth, and a giant mouth. "You're intending to fight us, Eternal Sun, for our treasure despite having lost half your combat forces? You really don't fear death, do you?"

The burning Vorvadoss was the cloaked figure around which bright green flames blazed. He snorted. "When did this treasure become your possession?"

Iod said, "There's no need for us to fight. If we do, we only serve to benefit the Demonic Temple. We're old rivals, after all. Now that there's an upstart like the Demonic Temple, why don't we team up and finish it off first?"

Kthanid of Excellence thundered, "You were the first to team up with them to get rid of half our combat forces, and now you want us to drop our enmity and work together with you to finish them off. Do you take us for idiots?"

The burning Vorvadoss smirked. "Once the Demonic Temple is dealt with, we'll be next in line, won't we?"

The Guardian, N'tse-Kaambl, who looked like a human woman, snorted. "Don't try these tricks. They're useless against us."

Kthanid of Excellence waved its tentacles about. "Cooperation isn't impossible."

The burning Vorvadoss seemed to understand what it was implying. "Kill off half your forces, and then we can talk."

Arwassa's tentacles began to wave about madly as well. "In that case, we've got no chance, then?"

Kthanid of Excellence replied, "There was no chance from the beginning."

"What a pity." Iod's compound eye shot out thousands of beams of light.

Half the monsters from the Ancient Gods' Abode defended against the sudden attack. Iod cried out, "I'll hold them off. All of you, get inside!"

Arwassa, Ammutseba, Bugg-Shash, and Vibur reacted quickly. They dashed toward the second warehouse.

"I won't let you get away!" Kthanid of Excellence beckoned for the five monsters from the Ancient Gods' Abode to give chase.

"I'm your opponent!" Iod blocked the way. It shot out another beam of radiant light.

Ulthar of Surveillance tossed out a small ball it held, absorbing the beams of light that emanated from Iod. "Leave this to me. Give chase now!"

Kthanid of Excellence, N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian, and the burning Vorvadoss nodded. They rushed into the building as Iod desperately held them off. In the end, Orryx was forced to remain behind as well.

Arwassa, Ammutseba, Bugg-Shash, and Vibur activated the defense system as they rushed into the second warehouse, summoning a huge stampede of peak- and even disaster-grade lifeforms.

Arwassa opened its mouth and shouted loudly. A high-pitched shriek beyond the realm of hearing emanated from it. The tens of thousands of peak-grade lifeforms stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching their heads. The weaker among them had their heads directly explode.

Arwassa's howls didn't attack the lifeforms' mind or soul, but rather distorted their heart and spirit.

The heart was situated within the spirit and existed separately from the mind. It was part of the soul and maintained control over willpower and fortitude, a strength that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

Some other peak-grade lifeforms, unable to take the torture, killed themselves.

Vibur drifted across where the lifeforms had fallen, blue spores spreading through the air and taking root on the lifeforms' bodies, causing them to rot and decay. Even after they perished, however, their carcasses would slowly stand up as they transformed into zombie-like existences that obeyed Vibur's commands.

Within no time at all, the four monsters had finished off a signifcant portion of the stampeding lifeforms. Bugg-Shash trudged over to the suicidal peak-grade lifeforms and began kissing their dead carcasses.

Kthanid of Excellence, N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian, and the burning Vorvadoss had finally caught up. They blanched at the sight before them.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian cried out, "Stop them!"

Bugg-Shash possessed a similar ability to Vibur. Its kisses were frightening and sticky kisses of death. It roused the dead with its will, surrounding the dead in existential horror. Despite their decaying bodies, they would operate according to its will.

Vibur had already motioned for the genetic lifeforms it controlled to charge forward. The flaming Vorvadoss waved a hand and caused green flames to surge forth, burning all genetic lifeforms that dared draw near to a crisp.

Kthanid of Excellence, N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian, and the flaming Vorvadoss were too late by the time they reached the other monsters.

Bugg-Shash had transmitted sticky black fluid into a bevy of dead carcasses, animating them temporarily. Their eyes were pitch-black and leaked black fluid like tears of blood.

Eternal Sun hadn't chosen its members for this expedition on a whim. The team was a cohesive unit; Iod was the primary attacker.

Arwassa's ability could affect the soul, and was a debuff-type supporter. Ammutseba was a tank with a large-scale counterattack, while Bugg-Shash was an attacker with debuffs via its blue spores that could transform its dead opponents into zombies.

Meanwhile, Vibur was responsible for resurrecting the dead and transforming them into allies.

These five members formed a cohesive team composition focused on strong offenses and regenerative ability.

Although their primary attacker, Iod, had now been lost, the remaining four monsters still formed a very strong core.

Compared to Eternal Sun's party, the Ancient Gods' Abode's team was far more straightforward, owing to the losses in its combat forces.

"We're leaving!" Eternal Sun had no interest in wasting time on the three remaining monsters from the Ancient Gods' Abode. They rushed into the warehouse while their enemies fought against the revived lifeforms.

Very quickly, they found the treasure they were looking for, a suit of golden armor made of some unknown material. It was incredibly hard and durable, and some mysterious energy seemed to be flowing through it. An energy barrier surrounded the armor.
