Ian Song waved his hand, cutting off the women's protests. This is a System mission—no matter what, he won't back down.
Just then, Mr. Song spoke up: "Son, if you're going, let me go with you! Ever since coming to the God Realm, I've always been under your protection, and as a father, that's made me feel ashamed. Now that I've reached the God-King realm, I may not be able to change the overall situation, but I can still do my part!"
Mrs. Song chimed in as well: "That's right, son—I support you! As your mother, I want to go with you too!"
"Disciple, I know there's no persuading you. Since you're going, please take your old master with you!" Ancestor Martin said.
Then Ancestor Cyrus, Elder Gideon Skyreach, Elder Faye Moon, Senior Sister Jasmine Jiang, and Lana Gale all spoke up as well.
"Father, count us in too!"
His sons and daughters, including Zane Song and the others, also volunteered to join the fight.
His wives, who had originally opposed him, saw his determination and also declared they would follow him to the battlefield.
"No way!"
Ian Song firmly waved his hand: "The battlefield is dangerous, and even God-Kings can easily fall. One person—me—is enough for this mission!"
"Little brother, let me go with you!"
Redmoon God-King said, "I'm an upper-segment God-King—I should be able to protect myself!"
"Master, I want to go too! After advancing to God-King, my bloodline power has awakened even further—my strength is no weaker than an upper-segment God-King!" Joy shouted.
"Alright, I'll take you two with me. Everyone else stays behind!"
"No! I want to go too!"
Mira Skylar shouted.
"Girl, listen!" Ian Song's face darkened. "You're still not strong enough. If you go to the battlefield, you'll only hold me back. It's better to stay here and cultivate—maybe you'll be able to help me in the future!"
The others were clearly unwilling, but Ian Song's attitude was absolute, and there was nothing they could do.
That day, Ian Song left everyone with plenty of Origin Source Power and chaos divine liquid, then set off for the front lines with Joy and Redmoon God-King.
Fuyang Prefecture City was once a bustling central prefectural capital in the God Realm.
But now, it's become a front-line fortress.
The army attacking this prefectural city was the Phoenix Infant Clan's forces.
The city's grand formation had been rearranged and reinforced, but the defenders inside still lacked confidence in being able to stop the Phoenix Infant Clan's advance.
Send those slaves to the front!
The one commanding the army was another avatar of the Phoenix Infant Queen.
At her command, hundreds of thousands of God-King soldiers brandished their weapons and charged the city. These gods had secret arts planted in their souls by the Phoenix Infant Clan and had become their slaves.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless artifacts flew up and bombarded the grand formation outside the city.
With their strength, it was impossible to break the formation, but their attacks could still wear it down.
The warriors atop the walls, though unwilling, still wielded their artifacts and attacked downward. With the formation protecting them, they had no need to worry about defense and could attack with full force.
As a result, the slave gods at the front suffered heavy casualties. In less than half an hour, tens of thousands had been killed or wounded.
Yet these slave gods were driven mad, and no matter how great their casualties, they showed no sign of retreat—only attacking the formation even more fiercely.
Your Majesty, Cassie Snow requests permission to fight!
Cassie Snow knelt on one knee beside the Queen's avatar.
Not yet!
The Queen waved her hand. "There are too many slaves. Their deaths are useful for wearing down the formation!"
Yes, Your Majesty.
Cassie Snow could only withdraw helplessly.
Another half hour passed.
The casualties among the slave gods attacking the city had already exceeded one hundred thousand.
