Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 608

Chapter 608: Chapter 379 Law_2

All the pieces now fall into place,” Samuel Westman revealed a touch of joy, “So, you mean to say that we can really trap one of the Sanctuary Powerhouses from the Demonic Sky Gate inside as well? If that’s the case, our chances of winning have just increased by at least thirty percent.”

Even if Logan doesn’t have a secondary array, solely relying on this barrier screen would give them enough time to slay everyone from the Demonic Sky Wheel and then join forces to deal with the Demonic Sky Gate’s Sanctuary Powerhouse. Just thinking about it filled them with vigor.

Logan’s array method was capable of trapping two Sanctuary Powerhouses; now, dealing with just one from the Demonic Sky Gate seemed far easier than the initial confrontation in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. If there had been any doubts or skepticism towards Logan before, everyone now felt reassured, believing that trusting Logan was the right decision.

When Logan trapped the Beast King and the Heavenly Saint Daoist, he had only a few tens of thousands of Spirit Stones on him, but now Logan had fifty million. The barrier array he would arrange would be much stronger, a hundred times more stable than the barrier used in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

If he spent ten million Spirit Stones to construct the barrier, at the very least it could trap a Sanctuary Powerhouse for a day; optimistically, perhaps even ten days to half a month. However, they had to prepare for the worst, and Logan couldn’t afford to be complacent, even if one day’s time would suffice.

At this moment, the deeply contemplative Cain Scarlet spoke up, “Is it essential to lure the Sanctuary Powerhouse into the barrier array? The people of the Demonic Sky Gate are extremely cautious. If setting up the array leaves traces, or if the enemy refuses to fall into the trap, do we need a contingency plan?”

“Right, what if the Sanctuary Powerhouse doesn’t enter the barrier screens?” Others agreed, knowing that a Sanctuary Powerhouse, with some immense power, could deduce everything and their methods were not to be estimated by those beneath them. If they truly possessed a Great Divine Power, wouldn’t that be a waste of time?

“As long as the Demonic Sky Gate advances further, they will definitely step into my barrier screens willingly or not, as my barrier spans tens of thousands of meters.”

Logan said with a playful smile, looking at the Lords, “Such a vast array could cover one-third of the Western Wasteland. The Demonic Sky Gate has only two options: refrain from attacking indefinitely, or once they attack, they fall into the barrier. This is the overt strategy.”

“Moreover, the array can easily be reduced in size, so there’s no need to worry about a Sanctuary Powerhouse hiding due to the vastness of the array. As soon as we confirm that the Sanctuary Powerhouse is trapped within the array, in an instant I can shrink it to one hundred meters, which would then work in conjunction with my other array method.”

Logan dared to reveal this, fearless of those with ulterior motives passing the Barrier Array Method to the Demonic Sky Gate, because of the immense size of the barrier method. With ten thousand Spirit Stones, Logan could build a barrier of one thousand meters; naturally, ten million Spirit Stones would increase it a thousand-fold.

“This… terrifying to such an extent!” The Lords exchanged glances, falling into sheer astonishment. Had they ever dared to imagine Logan’s array method like this? They thought that even if Logan’s array was vast, at most it would cover the mountain range around them.

Yet to cover tens of thousands of meters? That’s just the diameter, after all, since the array is circular in nature. The actual distance must be even greater. If they really trapped the Demonic Sky Gate’s Sanctuary Powerhouse within it, that would naturally be an unparalleled advantage for them.

Seeing everyone still in shock, Logan waved his hand, “It’s just a trivial matter. Now, I need six hours to arrange the array. During this time, I hope no one disturbs me. How would you few Quasi-Saints like to act as my guards for once?”

“Of course, there’s no problem. If anyone dares to cause trouble opportunely, we will surely strike down hard,” Cain Scarlet and others immediately assured Logan, as the success of Logan’s array was crucial to the life and death of half of the Western Wasteland’s forces, and they certainly did not want any mishaps to occur.

Meanwhile, a Guard walked into the tent, “Report, most of the Sects that left earlier have now headed to the Demonic Sky Gate, apparently to offer their allegiance. They haven’t emerged for fifteen minutes, suggesting that the Demonic Sky Gate has accepted them. Do we need to take measures against this?”

“The joining of these Sects to the Demonic Sky Gate turns the situation even more against us, what should we do?” Originally, the Western Wilderness Forces were on par with the Demonic Sky Gate. But with those Sects joining the Demonic Sky Gate, suddenly there were several more Quasi-Saints and a large number of Half-step Saint Seats.

On the contrary, on their side, there were only eight Quasi-Saints left, and the only hope for a turnaround was placed on Logan. Despite the moments of reassurance provided by Logan’s array method earlier, they inevitably sank into worry once again.

If a battle truly broke out, who could control the outcome? None of the three Lords wanted to come to the bitter end, to witness rivers of blood from both sides. Even if they ultimately defeated the Demonic Sky Gate, wouldn’t the Western Wilderness Forces still suffer losses, with many people ending up with their families torn apart?

Peregrine Azure clenched his fists in fury, “These Sects are too opportunistic. We from the Saint Sky Sect are still standing on this side, and yet so many forces from the Western Wilderness have betrayed us?”

“Everyone knows full well what kind of temperament and nature the Demonic Sky Gate has; their goal is to swallow the entire Western Wilderness. They have no intention of genuinely welcoming so many Sects. They just want to use them. Those Sects think they can sneak away with their lives, but in reality, they’re just living a few more days.”

Seeing everyone worried, Sandy Wexler took the initiative to alleviate their concerns, “We should not be lost in hesitation or lose confidence because of this. After all, we do our utmost. If Logan, a foreigner, can contribute his strength for the Western Wilderness, what’s there for us to hesitate about?”

“Having made our choice, we naturally won’t have regrets,” nodded many Sect Leaders. “The frowns are merely out of concern. You several Lords can rest assured; we’re not ones who fear death and covet life. We absolutely won’t defect to the Demonic Sky Gate like those others.”

“We fear the devastation of life and severe losses in the Western Wilderness, not fear itself,” stated even the mid-sized and small Sects with equanimity.

“Within one hour, I hope to gather fifty million Spirit Stones in my hands. There’s no time for delay; all the Sect Leaders and Lords should return to their cities immediately.”

Logan also realized the urgency, signaling everyone to stop discussing and focus on what mattered. The array was the priority but without Spirit Stones, Logan could not conjure something from nothing, could he? Even with the twenty million Spirit Stones given by the Wexler Clan as a token of thanks, it was far from enough.

The three Lords and numerous Sect Leaders immediately went to gather resources. Meanwhile, Logan started preparing to arrange the array. First, he took out one million Spirit Stones and hurried between the four cardinal points, spaced tens of thousands of meters apart, which would become the foundational barriers of the Barrier Array.

He used five hundred thousand Spirit Stones at each point, and to prevent outsiders from easily destroying them, Logan also brought out several divine weapons he had previously acquired. He placed three divine weapons at each point to suppress any interference, making it difficult even for a Quasi-Saint to damage them from the outside.

The foundational layer of the Barrier Array was set. Now Logan was waiting for the fifty million Spirit Stones to arrive, after which he prepared to construct his real trump card—an attack array within the Barrier Array, with both complementing each other.

Taking just over an hour, Logan established the base of the attack array. The complexity of its construct involved Logan conjuring more than a hundred thousand Spirit Points, each resonating with the Heavenly and Earthly Laws, thus amassing the Thunder and Lightning Laws capable of suppressing everything.

He chose thunder and lightning because it was one of the most effective methods against the Sanctuary Powerhouses. Even those at the pinnacle of Cultivation, the Sanctuary Powerhouses, still feared the Thunder Tribulation. The attack array Logan was setting up would be dozens of times more potent than a typical Thunder Tribulation.

Despite the Divine Thunder of the Thunder Tribulation usually not being lethal, serving merely to transform someone, only those who couldn’t bear it would perish. However, Logan’s array was different—the thunder and lightning it amassed had fewer considerations and was the purest form of a deadly move.

Another half an hour passed, and the Lords and numerous Sect Leaders who had gone to collect Spirit Stones returned. They brought exactly fifty million Spirit Stones, not one less. Adding those to the ten million Spirit Stones previously promised to Peregrine Azure, Logan had a total of sixty million Spirit Stones in his possession, finally allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
