Outsiders would never have thought that one could do an S-rank mission in such a way.
That was killing three birds with one stone.
It could solve the problem of the Decay King as he spied on Twilight City and would want to suppress the Knight God.
At the same time, it could also allow the rotten swamp to obtain tons of precious flesh energy.
He would want to harvest the gods like leeks.
Comfortable.
The Great Prophecy Spell lasted three days. Richard sat on the fishing platform. He did not interfere in the war or lure the two sides.
On the first day, 15 of the 40 crown soldier lairs in the rotten swamp had advanced to glorious.
On the second day, 20 completed the advancement.
The Knight Sect fell into madness on the third day, the last day of the Great Prophecy Spell.
Richard even saw a level 24 extraordinary unit, the divine spirit!
The divine spirit was a hero who died in the Mortal Plane. The gods bestowed him with the characteristic of immortality and gave him mighty power after the Divine Kingdom received him.
That was the power that the gods used to protect their divine kingdoms.
The divine spirit had appeared. That was enough to show that the Knight God had spared no expense in this war.
The madness of the Knight God also caused a chain reaction from the Decay King.
A rotten aura filled the level 24 extraordinary soldiers. There were angels, fallen giants, and high-level berserk demons.
There were many more types than the Knight God.
The ruler of the 333rd level of the bottomless abyss was truly enraged!
The closer one was to the abyss, the larger the area of the plane.
The 333rd floor was below average. It was no exaggeration to say that its surface area was comparable to several large planes combined.
The bottomless abyss could exist for a long time because of its terrifying power. The main factor was the vast land.
The scene would be spectacular once such a ruler used all his strength.
The Decay King's demon troop could have filled the plane if it weren't for the fact that the Naga Plane couldn't withstand such a powerful force and that there was a limit to the opening of the spatial gate.
The more lively the fight, the happier Richard was.
The system notified him that the Great Prophecy Spell had ended at the end of the third day.
The system had upgraded all the lairs in the Rotten Swamp to a glorious level. They could directly recruit the top-tier Glorious 3-stars troop. The blood slaughterer!
The nearly 4,000 crown blood slaughterers Richard had recruited had also risen to Glorious 3-stars.
Their levels were all level 17.
Richard was in a good mood as he looked at the formation of the blood slaughterers at the edge of the rotten swamp.
Their powerful snake tails, sharp tridents, ferocious gazes, bulging muscles, and everything else on their bodies told the outside world how powerful these soldiers were.
What was more important was that they didn't need money.
Now, the rotten swamp already had 50 troop lairs. They could recruit 50 teams weekly with enough flesh and energy.
There would be two teams in a month.
These two teams could empty him if he used more rare resources to recruit.
Richard did not close the dimensional door to the Giant Worm Plane to prevent the Knight God from entering the rotten swamp after the duration of the Great Prophecy Spell was over.
Instead, he silently stayed in the swamp and continued to lure the two angry gods to fight.
The Knight God refused to give up because he realized the scarlet flame eyes hadn't disappeared even after the Great Prophecy Spell ended. They were still behind the demons.
The cost was still an investment since they hadn't lost their target, and they had lost so many troops and even several divine spirits. The commander was too unwilling to withdraw at this moment.
He could get the scarlet gem if he increased his attack. That thought supported the Knight God to continue this war.
On the other hand, the Decay King, a purely evil god, did not react to the deaths of his subordinates. He only had one goal. And that was to retrieve the rotten authority.
As for how many subordinates died. "So what?!" Demons filled the abyss.
Death was worthless in this land.
The worms in the sea of abyss could give rise to countless new demons every day. Troops engulfed the abyss.
The giant worms could have imprisoned the demons in the abyss if it weren't for the rules. They could have occupied the world.
The fourth and the fifth day came. The players only noticed this silent clash on the sixth day. That made the players click their tongues. The speed of the troop's advance began to slow down.
Then, some extraordinary heroes began to try to leave the swamp and explore in other directions.
And this time, Tai Long couldn't hide it anymore.
Those extraordinary heroes all had treasures that contained divine power.
Richard sensed this and couldn't help but feel regretful.
Fishing too much had aroused the vigilance of the fish.
He didn't linger on the layout this time. He decisively took out the statue of the Dwarf God and asked him to help clear out both sides.
The Dwarf God had become much mightier. He did not waste any time and directly attacked.
The rotten swamp emitted a vast amount of power. The blood-colored mist illuminated the world.
This piece of land had integrated with the remnant power of the Naga Plane. It has become the planar power and controlled the entire plane.
The Decay King opened the spatial rift. That shattered the path to the Giant Worm Plane.
Those extraordinary heroes sensed something wrong and decisively tore through the void to leave.
The Dwarf God did not stop them and allowed them to leave. Then, he used the rotten swamp to clean up the entire Naga Plane.
He wanted to eliminate all traces left behind.
The Dwarf God's aura visibly weakened afterward.
"I have cleaned the marks left behind by the Decay King and the Knight God in this plane. They will no longer be able to find this space."
He looked into the void as he spoke.
"Get rid of that item of the gods of the ancient ones in your hands as soon as possible."
"The Great Prophecy Spell isn't something only the Knight God can do. I could deal with it to provoke an even more powerful existence."
Richard understood and thanked him solemnly.
"Your Excellency Fam, I will remember your help. Twilight City will never forget your sacrifice."
The first half of the sentence was his thanks, and the second half was his promise on behalf of the entire force.
The two were similar but completely different.
The Dwarf God looked at him meaningfully and did not say anything. He supported his face again and fell into a deep sleep after he waved his hand.
Richard couldn't repay him yet.
Richard had recovered from his unconsciousness. Tai Long beside him spoke in a rather complicated tone.
"Lord Richard, that god... Has he recovered?"
Richard hid the shocking main character who created this piece of animated land.
That made him inexplicably think of the ancient prophecy.
He was the world's favored one, the beloved of the god of luck, the beloved god of fate, the heir of the old days. It was the key to a new era.
He would lean toward that prophecy when he thought about how the other party was constantly involved with the ancient gods and how extraordinary he was.
Richard looked at the god who was notorious in the outside world but had recently changed his mind.
"Your Excellency Tai Long, the door to the new world has opened. Your Excellency Fam will naturally come at the rise of the new order."
At this point, he didn't continue and changed the topic.
"Next, we need to open up more planes and connect them to the rotten swamp..."
"Your Excellency, your next priority is to upgrade the rotten swamp to level 5."
"The progress would be monumental if we could have dozens of transcendent troop lairs. That is for us!"
Tai Long looked at Richard and nodded.
"Lord Richard, leave everything to me. That lord has done so many things. I can't disappoint you, right?"
Richard smiled and said nothing more. He returned his gaze to the rotten swamp.
The Decay King and the Knight God still had several troops that hadn't retreated after the space slits closed.
The situation was not right, although the two troops still fought. They scattered in all directions and tried to find a way out.
Richard smiled.
"How can I let you run away? The meat is already in the pot."
He ordered again.
"Your Excellency Tai Long, open up all the dimensions and let those troops in..."
"Treebeard, reproduce the golden fruits... Prepare to fish!"
Richard could only search for benefits from these little lackeys since gods no longer competed.
He issued the order, and the isolated dimensions from the outside world once again smelled the dreamable aura.
His bloodline was restless, and his soul yearned.
The remaining troops of the two forces also stopped and looked straight at the center of the rotten swamp.
The golden fruit on the withered tree branch was striking.
The demon was the first to go crazy and immediately charged toward the golden fruit.
The morale of the Knight Sect was soul-strapping. They were very resistant to the temptation of the golden fruit.
In the end, it was the golden lion who stirred up their inner desires.
Then, a war started again around the golden fruit.
The demons and the knights were all extraordinary soldiers. They occupied the most critical parts.
The allied forces of the twenty-odd planes couldn't even touch the edge.
The alliance troops attacked the demon and knight troops under all temptations.
The two mightiest forces were also mortal enemies. Immediately after, a chaotic battle that was countless times more chaotic than before erupted.
Richard smiled at the sight.
Fishing always makes people happy.
Then, he quickly focused on the scarlet flame eyes.
The Dwarf God has just reminded him he could no longer use this S-rank mission treasure as bait.
It would not be easy to end it if he provoked a top-tier boss.
He calmed down. He took out a crystal clear gem and touched the phoenix-tail flower.
He pinched it lightly.
Crack. The gem shattered.
A unique energy surged and condensed in the sky.
After a few breaths, the energy gradually formed a blurry figure.
After the figure became clear to an extent, it slowly opened its eyes.
At this moment, the blurry figure seemed to come alive.
Richard nodded slightly.
"Good day, Chairman Windsor."
"Lord Richard..."
The figure spoke softly. The lady seemed to have sensed something halfway through her sentence. Her eyes erupted with a dazzling light.
"Are the scarlet flame eyes in your hands?"
