Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 446 - 71: Hunting the Black Prison Civilization, the Great War Begins

The God of Thousand Faces wore his familiar, roguish smile.

"Alright, Thousand Faces. Keep quiet for a moment; no one will think you’re mute."

"Besides, this civilization is indeed powerful, but they don’t have communication methods as convenient as ours."

"Furthermore, within this civilization, the subordinates of that Lord of the Black Prison don’t have as close a relationship as we do."

"Internal strife is an eternal truth of any civilization, let alone a Race that feeds on negative energy."

"So, it’s understandable why they haven’t launched a sustained offensive against Lord Nidhogg’s world. Their internal struggles are undoubtedly severe. Any other possibilities are irrelevant to us at this point."

"In short, faced with such a civilization, what do the three of you think now?"

The Mother of All Things, Samantha, looked at Lince, the God of All Machines, and the God of Thousand Faces and asked seriously.

"What else can we do? Even if its Power is great, now that we’ve discovered it, can we just stand by and watch it continue to grow stronger?"

"We acknowledge our own rapid growth with the help of the Cosmos, but you mustn’t forget that there are vast differences between Deities. Can any of you be certain that this Lord of the Black Prison will grow any slower than we have?"

"Therefore, in my opinion, we must strike at this civilization!"

"However, I am no fool. The war against this civilization must be conducted covertly for the time being."

"In short, we absolutely cannot allow this civilization to continue its expansion unchecked."

"And most importantly, in this world, this Cosmic Star Sea, the positions for Pillar Gods are limited. Now that we’ve encountered the Lord of the Black Prison, we are compelled to act."

"At the very least, we must halt his momentum and stop him from growing by leaps and bounds."

The God of All Machines was certainly no fool. If he were, he wouldn’t be standing here today.

’Proceed covertly?’

’Halt this civilization’s unrestricted expansion?’

’And even stop the Lord of the Black Prison’s momentum as he ascends to become a Pillar God.’

It had to be said, the God of All Machines had truly hit the nail on the head.

The positions for Pillar Gods were limited, much like the number of Deities a single planet could support.

When a god ascended to the rank of Pillar God, it meant that many more could not.

Thus, upon encountering a heavy hitter like the Lord of the Black Prison—one who seemed certain to ascend to the Pillar Divine Realm—the Four Gods could not, from any standpoint, let him proceed unchecked.

Their Laws and Authorities might not directly conflict with his, but the spoils from taking him down would certainly be enough to grant the Four Gods far more options in the ages to come.

So, after a long and detailed discussion, Lince and the Three Gods of the Cosmos finally came to a decision.

They would start with small-scale infiltration.

They would have Players Descend into the worlds controlled by the Black Prison Race. From there, they would acquire more coordinates and then launch a full-scale ’invasion’.

The Four Gods’ plan was simple: rely on the power of the Players to slowly gather all information about this civilization.

At the same time, they would secretly hunt the eighteen or so Authority Level beings under the Lord of the Black Prison, weakening his Power step by step while strengthening their own.

There were anchor points in three of the affiliated worlds.

For the initial phase, each of the Four Gods would deploy one million Players.

And during this operation, Lince would also be making some arrangements of his own.

The Power that had been successfully stripped from the Blood God captured in the Crimson World needed a worthy Player to inherit it.

Additionally, Lince intended to mobilize fourteen of his subordinates—including Kukudar—who were at the rank of Ancient Deity or Main God Level and above.

’The Black Flame World must be taken.’

’But within the True Cosmic Game’s shared zone, Lince also planned to claim the worlds that the other Three Gods had disdained.’

’And that would require someone to hold the line.’

Therefore, for this operation—including the invasion of the Black Flame World’s vassal civilizations—Lince would simultaneously declare war on sixteen worlds at once!
