Chapter 496: Eliza’s Message

“With the current speed, how long will it take for the Death Swamp to be upgraded again?” Su Wan asked.
“That is not so simple. Its promotion will usher in a transformation, requiring flesh and blood much more than before… perhaps ten times more than before,” said Modric.
The prerequisite for the upgrade was that all units needed to reach the same level.
It was already quite difficult to meet the conditions, and accumulating enough energy for another level-up was even more challenging.
Moreover, numerous deaths would be required, ideally, for the Death Swamp to upgrade. If the number of casualties decreased, it would take even longer.
Although the twenty-plus planes had a large population, the flesh and blood needed to nourish the Death Swamp for the next upgrade were unimaginable.
The golden fruits constantly lured the rulers of those planes as their greed grew. They were leading more and more troops to death.
The Death Swamp was now a machine devouring flesh and blood rapidly, with tens and thousands of lives falling every day. The planes could not withstand it for much longer. They might run out of troops.
The lives of the twenty-plus planes are not enough to meet the needs of the Death Swamp!
The plan to expand and upgrade the swamp needed to be put into action as soon as possible.
The blood mist could obscure perception, and numerous troops fought aimlessly in the fog.
“No one can resist the temptation of the golden fruits,” the God of Deception and Lies said with a nod.
The ground on which the Dark Withered Tree bore fruit acted as bait to lure in the enemies. However, that couldn’t go on forever.
The Void Sandworm was proving very useful in this situation. In the beginning, Su Wan planned to use the Void Sandworm to open trade with other planes. However, their function had changed.
“I will dispatch the Void Sandworm to the Death Swamp. Please continue to control the situation here.” Su Wan understood the god’s intention. No one was more capable than Modric of manipulating the enemy in the swamp, so she left it in his care.
“Of course! It is my duty.” The God of Deception and Lies smiled.
“Under the rule of Modric, have you discovered any spires in the planes?” Su Wan asked.
“I haven’t found any yet. These connected planes possess some strange power, but their rules are full of flaws. They are not perfect planes. 1 haven’t even seen any Transcendents,” said Modric.
“There is a probability that the treasures related to gods exist within the spire. However, the spire I captured did not contain anything, so I cannot be sure about it. If you discover a spire, please inform me as soon as possible,” Su Wan said to Modric.
The God of Deception and Lies was deep in thought. Then he nodded. He wanted to ask something but thought it might sound offensive. Su Wan had already given him respect and a purpose.
Su Wan didn’t intend to keep too much information from him, either. The fact that ancient rules existed within the spire meant that she might come across one soon.
The sound of flapping wings quickly approached them from behind.
“Mr. Timo has sent an urgent message. There’s news from the Succubus Clan!” reported a Night Devil Bee. Su Wan turned to look at it.
“The Succubus has returned?”
After returning from Canglan City, Eliza voluntarily left and headed to the Succubus Clan to cultivate and level up. After that, she disappeared without a trace. They couldn’t contact her, no matter what they tried.
They finally received news from her!
“Mr. Timo says that she isn’t back yet, but she seeks help.”
Both Xu Yuan and Su Wan felt uneasy.
“You keep an eye on things here. I’ll go find them,” Su Wan said.
Xu Yuan’s massive figure glided down from the sky and skillfully landed in front of the Dark Castle.
“Your Majesty, a message has come from Miss Eliza. The Succubus Clan is under siege by the God of Light and the Insect Clan. Numerous enemy troops are at the city gates, and Miss Eliza is single-handedly fighting the God of Light!” Timo was pacing back and forth in the hall. As soon as he saw Xu Yuan, he ran to him in a hurry.
Su Wan frowned. She didn’t expect both the Insect Clan and the God of Light to get involved at the same time. They were really insufferable.
Timo took out a small scrap of paper from his pocket and handed it to her. The information on it was scarce, but it was like Timo had explained.
It depicted a crude but towering spire. The place of the Succubus Clan was engulfed by spatial turbulence, making it impossible for the Void Sandworm to explore.
“What kind of token did they leave behind to serve as a spatial coordinate?” Su Wan couldn’t figure out the specific location.
The Succubus Clan was located in a swamp. Even if it was engulfed by spatial turbulence, it couldn’t have disappeared without a trace. There must be something left behind by which they could find Eliza!
“Gather the troops and prepare to fight for the Succubus Clan!” Su Wan said decisively.
This time, she wanted to kill the God of Light.
Numerous dark clouds shrouded the sky and made the air heavy.
Looking down from above, one could see countless giant insects forming a dark tide as they rushed toward the towering city.
Hard exoskeletons, ferocious pincers, sharp stingers…
These monstrous creatures, thousands of times larger than ordinary insects, were enough to make one tremble in fear.
The horrifying monsters gathered like ants and launched their attacks.
The city caught in this tidal wave was already suffering damage. The sturdy city walls were on the verge of collapse. They were already crumbling.
Eliza, the main force on the battlefield, gripped her longsword as she watched the giant insects surge like a tide beneath the city wall. She intended to kill.
Whenever a giant insect climbed up the city wall, she would flit past and appear in front of it.
Her body burst with power, and her sword ignited. The giant insect was torn apart.
Her figure was as swift as lightning, moving through the fiercest part of the battlefield. However, her heroic fight made no difference against such great numbers.
Even if she swung her sword with all her might, the soldiers fighting alongside her on the city wall kept falling under the onslaught of the giant insects.
There was no time to mourn. They could only grip their swords tightly and get ready for the next attack.
As the number of casualties in the army increased, the defense line became thinner. The city would soon collapse..
