Chapter 1977: Chapter 1977

As Earth advanced on the Abyss, other worlds also saw the Abyss’s vulnerability.

After all, due to Du You’s immense power, the Abyss’s two top-tier powerhouses dared not to emerge. Trying to unite other world powers to deal with Du You might have been impossible, considering the loss of three key figures this time.

Among them, Blood Shadow was completely annihilated, while the other two are still uncertain how long it will take to recover in Hell.

Even though the two have agreed to the Hunter’s terms, they’re hesitant to leave due to Du You. If they were caught and eliminated by Du You, recovering wouldn’t be easy. Of course, the Hunter himself has also gone into hiding.

On one hand, he needs time to heal; on the other, the Hunter has offended Du You and needs to hide for a while. The Hunter’s goal is to reclaim his own world, and he doesn’t want Du You to focus on him.

If his world were to be destroyed directly, he would truly regret it.

Even if he could retaliate against Earth, what would that achieve? He can’t harm Earth directly, nor defeat Du You, and once his own world is destroyed, it can’t come back. Thus, hiding is the best strategy, waiting to contact the two from the Abyss later.

Due to the hiding of the Abyss’s two top-tier experts and the recent collective death of numerous ninth and eighth tier demons, there’s hardly any strong Abyss presence on the battlefield now.

This weakened response presents an opportunity to many other worlds.

Following Earth, whether as part of the Earth alliance or already part of Earth, many are seizing this moment and invading. There’s hardly anyone willing to let the Abyss go unchallenged.

Following Earth’s lead, they’re reaping benefits from those worlds too remote or disregarded by Earth. Some, like Earth, have established territories, as they’re now part of the Earth alliance. Those not yet assimilated by Earth have their own methods to slowly occupy and devour worlds.

In desperate cases, a world left to a seventh-tier powerhouse, purifying it with their power, is also feasible.

Earth, on its part, is too weary to concern itself with these others, and indeed has its own plans.

Some within the Command Center are gathered, plotting against these opportunists. Du You doesn’t care about them; he’s busy learning various battle strategies and planning, but these others have different intentions.

"What should we do about these worlds?"

"Driving them away is impossible. Their presence is beneficial, enhancing our influence. More importantly, gathering so many worlds would position us as the righteous side."

Unlike before, when Du You proactively attacked others — if he hadn’t found reasons, the other worlds would have banded together to resist him — this time is different, being a large-scale war against the Abyss.

If many worlds can unite, everyone would naturally lean towards their cause in this war.

This is more than just rhetoric; critically, they will receive increasing support, easing their own burdens. The Abyss, when causing trouble, won’t just target them but will seek out other worlds.

"Let them join, grant them some worlds. With their power, it’s difficult to clear everything. Once the Abyss retaliates against them, those untenable worlds will willingly request to join us."

An insidious character suggested. If Du You were present, he would recognize this old acquaintance, the Shadow King.

With Du You’s power growing over the years, the Shadow King — who once offended him — feels quite anxious, and previous allies have gradually distanced themselves.

To counter this, the Shadow King sought self-rescue by starting cooperation under Du You’s command step by step, initially concealing it due to fear of others discovering his involvement.

Eventually, the Shadow King actively joined the cooperation, personally taking action.

Nowadays, if Du You remembered this person, he might even hesitate to act against him due to his contributions. Besides, as an eighth-tier powerhouse, Du You couldn’t easily eliminate him.

This time, he even ventured right under Du You’s nose, seemingly testing something.

Unfortunately, Du You didn’t pay them any mind.

"The idea is outstanding; perhaps we can refine it." Everyone quickly aligned their thoughts and began improving the plan. As the plan unfolded, more worlds were indeed drawn to them.

Earth doesn’t need to do much; others will help spread the word.

Earth’s unified alliance represents justice, resisting the evil Abyss. The Abyss has alienated countless foes over time, unlike the emerging Earth, whose enemies are numerous.

Capitalizing on this, many observed the Abyss’s frailty and began engaging in the struggle.

This is a banquet, a feast to divide the worlds of the Abyss. Previously, only the Abyss occupied their worlds; this occurrence is unprecedented. There are benefits, righteousness, and a powerful backing world.

Such an opportunity is rare, and more worlds are increasingly joining. Even some Void wanderers have come along. Remember, not all Void wanderers wish to continue drifting. Get full chapters from novel⟡fire.net

Those only at the seventh tier have long wanted to settle in a world. For such beings, the Void is exceedingly dangerous. Now, within the Abyss, if they can seize a seventh-tier world and purify it over time, they’ll have their place to thrive.

Once they’ve adapted to the world’s laws, assimilating it as their home plane poses no issues.

In recent times, the Abyss has grown increasingly volatile; however, the more agitated it becomes, the more chaotic it is. Apart from randomly opening world portals nearby and dispatching masses of demons into various worlds, it hasn’t other solutions.

In the battlefield, seventh-tier demons are sparse, incapable of forming larger forces. Eighth-tier demons appear even less frequently; under these circumstances, the Abyss retreats step by step, losing vast swathes of territory.

As these realms are purified step by step, the Abyss’s overall strength will weaken. The control range of its native plane will gradually contract, which is precisely Du You’s aim.

Once the Abyss’s native control range shrinks to a certain point, it will be time for Du You to act. At least then, the two top-tier powerhouses will struggle to receive much strength from the Abyss.
