The war fortress that the War God System used previously was a huge dragon ship. It had taken thousands of years and a tremendous amount of materials put together to build that fortress; thus its power was unparalleled. Whether it was defense or speed both were considered to top their respective lists, even its attack power was extremely strong. It could be said to be the most powerful mobile war fortress.

However, there was once where it had joined forces with the Fear God System to attack the Void God System. During that particular battle, a great part of this huge dragon ship had been destroyed because it had to bear the terrifying power from Sui Xiong’s self-detonation. It was such a challenge to repair the ship. Under such a situation, the War God System had remodeled it into a memorial hall after removing precious components. After fitting these components with their original accumulation, they had created a new generation of war fortress—the Void Warship.

The Void Warship was slightly smaller than the huge dragon ship. It did not possess those horrifying methods of attack, and even its speed of flight and teleportation were lower compared to its predecessor. Its defensive abilities were, on the contrary, the only aspect that had been greatly enhanced, even to the extent of being stronger than the huge dragon ship.

Of course, this was a change that was made after they had summed up their experiences. They had deeply reflected on their painful experience, and that had taught them a good lesson. Then they made their choice.

The huge dragon ship was infinitely powerful, but at times when it mattered most, its defense ability was actually its most important asset. Other abilities were at best used to bully the weaker opponents. When confronting a true master in a battle, it would not be of much help. That being the case, there was no need to waste precious resources on this. It would be more viable to create some other more powerful magical items instead.

This conclusion naturally had its reasonability. The Void Warship was indeed quite powerful. Although it was not able to move at an astounding speed, it was, nevertheless, still capable of high-speed movement. It still had the ability to shuttle through space easily, which, when coupled with its defense ability that was said to be formidable, utilizing this warship was indeed more convenient than its predecessor, the huge dragon ship.

Without considering any other factors, just one of the previous occurrences where there were cracks appearing in Space, the huge dragon ship most probably would not sustain any damage, but the warriors onboard were very likely to suffer great losses. Regardless of how insignificant the loss was, it would, nevertheless, demoralize the warriors right from the very beginning.

As for now, the strength of these cracks in Space had no chance of getting close to the warship as they were directly blocked off by the Divine Shield outside the warship. Whether it was the warship itself or the warriors within it, all remained unharmed.

This was like two armies raging war against one another. One of the armies accidentally fell into the trap its enemy had laid, only to realize that this trap was pathetically weak. After a moment of tumbling about, other than discovering some dirt and soot, everyone found themselves to be unharmed, and even their clothes were not dirtied at all.

This was why Wenner’s absolute confidence was understandable—even the trap they laid was quite a weak and harmless one. There was simply nothing to be afraid of!

He had thought as such and thus had spoken as such.

“The Mystery God System is truly nothing more than a snow job!” Standing at the bow of the speeding Warship, Wenner laughed loudly and said. “Their achievements in magic are indeed brilliant, which was why they managed to discover our space coordinates so quickly and then set a trap while awaiting our arrival. Even I have to admit that this was one area they were really good in. But... the trap they set was so ridiculous that it seemed like a total joke! I have never seen such a weak trap before in my entire life! To actually come up with such a trap as a means of conquering their enemy is already a display of the extent of their weakness!”

“True!” Augmentin nodded and said. “If we had known earlier that their true capability was only at this level, we wouldn’t even need to mobilize our Void Warship. Everyone would be able to fly directly over there and charge towards them!”

They spoke so loudly that many people could hear them. Then, news spread rapidly, and the warriors were all smiles.

Their smiles consisted of 30 percent confidence, 30 percent state ease, and 40 percent mockery; the subject of their mockery was none other than the Mystery God System.

“Even when setting a trap, they had been so gentle and lacked the lethality. The ways of those cultured people are just so unreliable!” The Goddess of Pirates, who was in charge of navigating the warship, said. “Even a lady like myself would never resort to pulling such a flowery move. I’ll simply bury a white blade in their necks and pull out a red one—how efficient and neat!”

“How efficient and neat!” Seated next to the Goddess of Pirates was the God of Berserker, who was in a slightly drunken state. In a muffled voice, he nodded and voiced his agreement.

Sui Xiong saw how high-spirited they were and could not hold back his laughter.

This would most probably be a typical situation where the heart of an army would be presumed to have its usability.

At that moment, he heard Augmentin’s voice.

“Don’t take these words to heart. Just a while ago, I looked at the new path that our space coordinates’ positions had been changed to. If we had not discovered that trap in time and forcibly stopped teleportation midway, we would have directly barged into the nest of a group of Star Devouring Beasts. By that time, it would definitely be a challenge trying to get ourselves out, and at best, we would merely incur a substantial loss.”

Sui Xiong felt a shiver of fear as his smile faded a few degrees.

The “Star Devouring Beasts” did not actually refer to a specific race. It was a general term used for the scary demon beasts that were of the demigod level. Amidst the endless Void, there were numerous such demon beasts, and they existed in various sizes. They cruised freely all over the place, and occasionally, they would launch attacks on the different worlds. At times, they would be repulsed by the gods guarding these worlds; at other times, they would be able to devour those worlds in their entirety, and even the gods that were safeguarding those worlds were not spared.

To the various gods, these beasts were a strong and powerful threat. Often enough, gods would combine forces to strangulate these demon beasts to death. Yet, strange enough, regardless of how many of these beasts the gods managed to strangulate, they came to realize that there was no significant decline in the number of these demon beasts. From time to time, a few would appear before them.

For the Mystery God System to be quick enough to realize that the War God System had left space coordinates within the vicinity of their God’s Kingdom—this did not surprise Sui Xiong. However, the fact that they could actually shift the space coordinates to cause the War God System to head directly into the nest of the Star Devouring Beasts—this was something shocking for Sui Xiong.

How conceivable it was, that if the Void Warship were to make its way in that direction, the moment it stopped teleporting, it would surely collide head-on with those scary demon beasts. By that time, needless to mention warriors, even the various gods of war would possibly sustain heavy injuries.

If the Mystery God System had further prepared some other means, then it was highly possible that there would be several gods of war facing annihilation even before the battle had truly begun.

Just thinking about this, Sui Xiong could not help shaking his head in awe as he complimented, “So powerful!”

“Yes, truly powerful!” Wenner also conveyed his thoughts via voice transmission. “The Master of Mystery is truly an established great Divine Power. He was someone who had earned his fame even before I was born. This method he deployed seemed as though he was taking the matter lightly, yet in truth, there was a murderous intent lurking behind his understated concern of the situation. He is, indeed, capable!”

However, he suddenly changed the subject. With great confidence, Wenner said, “But I am not intending to take a different stand from before. Using such a trap to sabotage others just goes to show his lack of confidence. If he had the confidence, he would have come out directly to confront us head-on!”

Sui Xiong thought for a moment then nodded slightly.

Wenner’s words made sense. Even for Sui Xiong, if he was truly filled with confidence, then he would certainly take on his aggressors outright upfront. Then he would smack his enemy to death in one swift move. There was simply no need to play so many tricks!

Currently, the Void Warship was fast approaching the Country of Rainbow. If the Mystery God System truly had enough confidence, then by right, they should have laid base and prepared themselves information to take on their aggressors.

But until now, they had not seen even a single figure from the Mystery God System.

“However...” Wenner’s tone suddenly sounded a little hesitant. “I keep getting strange vibes about the outcome of this battle. I’m afraid that the outcome might not be what I had expected...”

“Will there be danger?” Augmentin asked out of worry.

“No, I don’t sense any danger, however...”

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Void Warship and interrupted their conversation. That heavily-equipped warrior was donning gold, heavy armor and carrying a gigantic shield. The shield seemed to be as tall as the warrior himself.

This was one of the three great Divine Powers of the Human God System, the God of Protection.
