Chapter 94: Battle!
When I quickly flew back to Arcantor to retrieve Athenos' body, I watched the battle of Galvaris, and fortunately, everything went as I had imagined.
From what we learned from the refugees in Galvaris, the leader of the demons seemed to be someone of high rank in Zephyros, either the king of Zephyros, a prince, or a general.
As someone at that level, he would hardly act rashly.
Considering the size of the army under me, this showed my level of power, especially after I had completely dealt with a part of his army, so he would act more cautiously when dealing with us.
When the griffin flew over the army without attacking the demons, it still showed that our side didn't just have one being with the power of an embryonic god.
And that was enough to buy me time to get to Arcantor and pick up Athenos' body.
The flight time to Arcantor was only 8 minutes, the problem was that the flight back would take longer...
Something I discovered after becoming an Elemental God was that the marble body wasn't designed to hold my power completely.
The teachers probably didn't think that a student would be able to become an Elemental God during the test, so they didn't bother making such powerful bodies.
I could still use 100% of my power, but that would cause the marble body to self-destruct.So I had to fly back to the battlefield at a much slower speed.
I estimated that it would take me another 16 minutes to reach the battlefield at the speed this body could handle, twice as long as it took me to get here.
When the mortals in Arcantor saw me leave the Internet Church, they were all thrilled and started waving at me with smiles on their faces.
I smiled back at them and made a large pair of holographic wings appear from my back.
Without letting them understand too much, I just flapped my wings and took off into the sky.
As for the wings being holographic, since those wings couldn't really make me fly, I thought I'd just make it look more technological to match the Internet theme I'd kept for my deity.
Once in the air, I just started flying back to Galvaris.
I used the time when I had nothing important to do to watch the battle, and I was pleased with how it was going.
The soldiers were excited to deal with the weaker demons and get a lot of Internet Coins out of the battle.
Most of them even spent the Internet Coins they had and used the bonus buffs I sold them at the [War Shop] in this battle to improve even faster.
Not only did they improve their combat efficiency faster, but they also improved at a very high rate during the battle.
As a result, I spent a lot of Divine Power on these soldiers, but nothing that really affected me.
In the past three days, I've gained a lot of Divine Power, so this small expenditure is almost nothing.

|-----------------------------------------
In the past three days, I have gained almost 20 million Divine Power points, and I am almost 10 million Divine Power points above the level required to become a rank 2 elemental god.
If it hadn't been for the war, I would have increased my rank by now, but since I didn't know how much Divine Power I would need to fight the demon leader, I preferred to stay at rank 1 with a large amount of Divine Power.
While I was thinking about these things, I noticed something in the image of the battle.
For the first time in the battle, the griffin had gone on the offensive.
Just like when he faced the demon knight earlier, this time he started the confrontation by spitting black lightning at a demon.
This demon's appearance was very similar to the demon the griffin had faced in the last battle, but apparently this demon's strength was greater than that of the previous demon...
- King Victor's POV -
Shit!
I wondered how that idiot had lost to an army of thousands of demons, in addition to the strength of a Rank 1 Embryonic Demon that I had given him.
After all, with that kind of strength, he should be invincible below the gods, and against weaker gods, he could probably join forces with other demons, or even feed on the deaths of other humans in battle to become even stronger.
But when I felt the size of the army that reached the capital of Galvaris, I understood why he was defeated...
An army of 60,000 humans... with humans ranging in strength from ordinary people to warlords and archmages.
With an army of that size and strength, the lord behind it could even rule the entire world!
Even more so with a creature like that...' I thought as I looked at the large four-legged bird flying above the enemy army.
The strength of this bird was no joke...
Even though it was weaker than me, it wasn't at a level where I could crush it instantly.
And if I tried to fight that bird, the god behind that army would probably take the opportunity to fight me.
The question I have is, where did this creature come from?
Have such powerful creatures always existed in our world? Or is it a creation of some god?
Looking at the other embryonic demons in the room with me, my generals for this battle, I pointed at the two weakest, a rank 1 embryonic demon and a rank 3 embryonic demon.
"You two, take care of that strange bird." I said.
At my command, they lowered their heads and obediently went to carry out the order.
Even if they died, I needed them to kill that bird, or at least make the enemy god show himself.
At best, they would easily deal with the bird and force the enemy god to appear; at worst, they would have a difficult fight with the bird and the enemy god would take advantage of that to deal with them.
The only certainty I had was that they were enough to deal with the bird.
What I didn't expect was that the bird knew how to attack from a distance!
As soon as the Rank 3 Embryonic Demon appeared on the battlefield, the bird didn't think twice and quickly attacked it.
This meant that the demon had to defend itself and lost the opportunity to take the initiative.
If this were a one-on-one battle, it might even be a big disadvantage for the demon, but the bird didn't seem to realize that there was another demon ready to attack it if it hesitated.
With the power level of the two, both the demons and the weaker humans quickly moved away from the spot, giving them more space to fight.
But for some reason, the bird didn't get very close to the demon...
This seemed natural at the beginning of the battle, but even when the demon showed intentional weakness, the bird didn't fall into the trap and just kept flying over and attacking from a distance, giving the other demon no opening to attack.
As time passed, I realized that the humans were showing signs of winning the battle between the weaklings.
Even though some humans had died in the battle, the number of demons killed was much higher than the number of humans!
Whenever a human was about to die, another human would take his place in the battle, making room for the wounded human to be healed by other humans.
Damn it, if this continued, the result wouldn't be good for me.
So I got up from the throne I was sitting on in the castle of the royal family of Galvaris and opened my hand out of the window while pointing at the bird.
Within seconds, a bright red ball began to form in my hand, and in an instant, it flew toward the bird at high speed.
The bird felt the attack coming from here, but even though it was much weaker than me, the distance we were at still allowed it to move slightly away from where I was aiming, so the explosion caused by the ball didn't kill it.
But one of its wings was injured!
"Go help these two idiots, Lance." I said as I looked at the falling bird with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lance said in a serious voice as he ran onto the battlefield.
With these three dispatched, I will finally be able to see the strength of the enemy god.
Idiot, did he think he could get me to fight his subordinate? Haha, even if this battle takes a few minutes, I'll still make him fight my subordinates before he dies for me.
Smiling, I went back to watching the battle while waiting for the moment when the enemy god would appear.
Little did I know how big a mistake I was making by trying to get information instead of just attacking directly...
