403 Let's Have Peace For Now
The eggs didn’t only land on the ground, but they also started piling up over one another. Rows above rows of eggs started to appear in the next few minutes.
That was just less than five minutes, what would be the situation once the one hour was over.
“Dammit! Attack! Kill these eggs, use everything to destroy them,” I pointed at these eggs, taking out my glaive as I decided to join this battle.
As for my threads, for some reason they were stopped just a few metres away from these eggs. They were not normal eggs, as they came with a shield protecting them.
Alright… as they came from a universe using energy similar to mine, it was expected for them to have something to interfere with my threads.
So it was time for my boys to shine.
However as the first wave attacks landed, two things happened. There was one good and one bad news.
The good news was that the eggs could be destroyed. But the bad news was that these shields around the eggs worked to absorb and divert all the attacks, combining them at one single egg, ending up in bursting just one.
One from tens of thousands of eggs? That was simply ridiculous!!
The smashed eggs released disgusting sticky black and green material from it. Half was fluid and half was solid, with weird shaped creatures half created inside.
So that meant these eggs still needed time to hatch. But if this kept on this rate, things wouldn’t end up well here.
“Attack on periods,” I had no other choice but to give such an order, “each ten gods in the same group, with each group attacking once in ten seconds.”
I roughly arranged my forces like this while I pointed at the outside, you, go and attack the outer eggs in such order. Come and replenish your energy using these first.”
I took out the energy crystals in large amounts and gave them to my weakened and exhausted dragons. I knew I was spending too much on this fight, but I had no other choice but to do so.
As I arranged my forces in such a way, I kept my brought up races here and let them attack the eggs from the ground. As for my controlled exiles, I left them to keep sucking the death energy.
After all these eggs were still absorbing the death energy in torrents. I had to elongate the time for their hatch.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Well, the good news was that these eggs were destroyed by the few numbers of my troops attacking. But the bad news was that once the races came closer to them, it felt like the shields protecting these eggs started to turn into claws, grabbing these races in large numbers and feeding the eggs directly with them.
I was this close from calling them back. But when I saw at these moments the shield protection weakened and my threads started to find their way to the eggs, I had to let them keep coming.
As for my threads, it felt like they got attached to some kind of behemoth. These eggs gave me the impression I got from the dark realm monster I once fought against.
“So few threads won’t work… I’ll control you then using most of them,” I knew once my thread controlled a few of them, they’d spin out automatically and assault other eggs around.
So instead of fanning them out, I controlled them and let them gather up, attacking a few eggs that weren’t hit by my boys. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The controlling process started to grow faster. In one minute, I managed to control almost one hundred eggs.
Now what?
I controlled the eggs, but I didn’t know what to do with them.
All I could do for now was to let them continue absorbing the death energy. Whatever would come out from these would be under my control.
However when my threads tried to move to other eggs, I felt like my control over these one hundred grew weaker.
“Damn! So I can only use these threads only?” It was really depressing and frustrating.
What would one hundred do against tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Or even millions when the one hour period would be over?
[Dude, do you know a good way to kill eggs?]
[What eggs?]
It was Fang. If there is anyone who could help me here then it would be him. I described the shapes of the eggs and told him about what happened.
[Frankly bro… You are a trouble magnet]
[Do you know how to stop these from hatching?]
It wasn’t time to give me such words indeed.
[It’s my first time hearing about something like this. Let me ask my paragon then]
Damn! Even Fang never heard about these eggs. What should I do now?
The only thing I had was to push everything I had and try to smash these eggs.
“Listen up,” at this stressful moment, I had to unify all the forces here, “these eggs are something we can’t face. We have to unite, fight together and smash as many eggs as possible.”
I had no other choice but to do that. In terms of numbers, I controlled large forces here. But the forces of mine were weak, not as strong as the other forces of other races here.
I just hoped the archlords here would be smarter, leave aside our differences above anything else.
“We need a guarantee first.”
The first answer came from one of the archlords down below. Without the need for him to say anything more, I knew what he was asking.
“You’ll have my word to leave here alive after all this is over,” I shouted but that dude was too smart to believe in a human’s word.
“We will sign a contract,” he shouted back and I had to put clear conditions here.
“You are free to leave, peace for just half a day,” I shouted, “after that we will return to fight each other. If I face any of you in a battle before this time is over, you’ll have to leave the fight.”
