Chapter 569 Battle Front: Astral Realm Part 7

Word about Blake taking in two more wives quickly made it back to their home base, where both Joy and Destiny were stationed. They could not go to the front lines. And thanks to the protection of both Ishtar's barriers and Sandrea's barriers, not a single god could enter the place to keep all the rear line people safe from any kind of attack. Only Anu could probably break through the barriers.

"Big Sister, Papa is really unfair." Joy pouted when she heard the news. He was making them wait but took in two more so easily.

"We can't complain, Joy. After all, we are asking about something that Papa is having a hard time dealing with. We should be happy he is even willing to think about it." Destiny knew they were asking a lot, but she couldn't help that her feelings were so strong.

"I know…." Joy sighed as she looked at the drone footage in front of her. "On another topic, it seems Ea is up to something look."

Destiny pushed her chair toward Joy, who caught her and helped her face toward the screen. On it, Ea's underlings, who were already staying in his domain, were starting to prepare for war.

"Trench warfare? I can understand this concept if it was on Earth, but this is a domain ruled by gods. Why would he want to do trench warfare?" Destiny was very confused.

"From the looks of it, it seems to be more of a ploy?" Joy could not put her finger on it, but she felt that Ea would not do something as low as trench warfare.

"A ploy, huh?" Destiny watched as the trenches were dug. "Wait, why are they digging instead of just using magic?"

"You noticed this too. It is very strange. It's almost as if he is trying to hide the fact that he is making trenches from others. Let's report it to Uncle Bret. He might have a better understanding of what is going on." Joy quickly tapped her earpiece and sent a message out.

Not even a few seconds later, Bret stepped through a portal and stood next to the two girls. "Is this what you meant?"

"Yeah. It's strange, right?" Destiny asked.

"Very. " Bret sighed. "Your father wants to attack him first after we wipe out a few more minor gods. He believes the rest of the minor gods will no longer put up a fight and offer to join us if we take his head. After all, Ea is feared by not only minor gods but also higher gods. His power is not weak in the slightest.

"But from the looks of it, he is also being very cautious. I think a lot of it has to do with how powerful our forces have become. Our own people get to sit in the back and fire off our weapons while the minor gods are forced to the front lines. Ea's power may be able to wipe out most of those minor gods in a few seconds, but when you add in the higher gods who have joined us and our own prowess from the start, you can say that Ea will not be able to kill as he pleases so easily.

"But he can forget about ever being able to live through this. Because he wanted to kill Destiny, your father wants to take Ea's head and use it as a means to tell the other gods they should surrender." Bret felt like this would save many lives, and if they could end this war with everyone giving up on the side of the gods, then things would be much easier.

"I do hope it works. But why trenches?" Joy was still stuck on this topic.

"I think Ea plans to make his own people fight in the trenches. This way, we can be seen as monsters who are killing innocent lives. This is probably why he is also not using magic. If other gods sensed him setting things up using magic, they would take notice. But if they do not, he can use it as a means to rally the other gods together by using his own people as pawns in his game. Of course, this is all just speculation. Hell, this could just be some huge magic circle that he is building." Bret scratched his head. From what he had learned from Ishtar, Ea was a man who liked to do things from behind the scenes and in a secretive manner. He felt the idea he just had as to what Ea was doing fit the man the best.

"Hmmm… What if I? send a drone swarm in and fill in all the trenches?" Destiny asked with a sly look in her eye.

"Haha! If you can do it. Do it! But if you are detected, quickly retreat."? Bret felt it would be very amusing to see Ea trying to figure out why the trenches that were dug disappeared. Destiny had made a swarm of drowns that were able to go invisible. It would be hard to detect them since they were also warded from magic detection.

"Alright, give me a second." Destiny ran back to her computer and began hammering away at the keyboard. About ten minutes later, Joy could see trenches quickly disappearing. There were barely any magic signatures from the drones as they used earth magic inscriptions to fill the trenches in.

The miles of trenches that had been dug were filled in in a matter of minutes. The ones digging the holes had no idea what was going on as they continued to dig. When a new tench was completed, and the workers moved to dig the next area to start digging, Destiny filled in the newly completed trench. This continued well into the night when one of the diggers finally felt something was wrong.

"What happened to the trenches!?" A man yelled out. He quickly ran down through the forest to check the other trenches. When he saw that they were all gone, his face paled. "What the hell is going on!? Lord Ea is going to kill us all!"
