Chapter 422
Chapter 423 The Assault Begins
The flow of time between the two worlds was indeed different.
The Gilded River looked about the same as before.
As if reading her mind, Benjamin spoke up. “The energy has been leaking for a long time. It’ll hold for a while, but the river will slow down more and more until it solidifies into a mineral vein. It should take about two weeks p>
Joanna nodded.
“No one should notice what we’ve done. When we sell the metal, we’ll use Metalstar as the cover story. I’ll increase our investment in the Metalstar division when we get back. You’ll run that branch p>
Just like how Alwyn was in charge of fruit and Peace Tree cultivation.
Benjamin would run the metals division.
She could even have Caspian launch a mineral water company. Plenty of survival-type dimensions didn’t even have clean water.
She’d arrange all of this when she
got back.
Benjamin, naturally, agreed without hesitation.
His whole reason for coming to the Gilded River was to solve problems and find treasure for Joanna.
Joanna needed high-end resources. Benjamin had delivered. The money and the career that came from this would put him above Alwyn, the Noble.
Status: up.
He could also slowly replace his own heart with the divine heart. Once that was done, his power would skyrocket. He’d crush every other consort. Untouchable.
Benjamin was certain he was winning the court intrigue game.
After that, Joanna and Benjamin stopped collecting gold sand and shifted to hunting non- human combatants.
Joanna copied Benjamin’s talents and lurked inside the Gilded River, ambushing targets.
Playing dirty was ridiculously satisfying.
1/4
Chapter 423 The Assault Begins:
Sneak attacks, one after another. Joanna discovered she had a natural talent for villainy.
In just two weeks-
Other races suffered devastating losses. Over a thousand dead.
Losing a thousand Level 60+ fighters would cause shockwaves in the Space Alliance. The Myriad Races, deep as their reserves were, couldn’t afford hemorrhaging like this.
Finished
The Tusked Boar tribe, the Star Shark race, and the Nightmare Spider race all dispatched stronger fighters.
And that wasn’t all.
Word spread: the Human’s No. 1 Prodigy was operating in the Gilded River zone.
Several races began coordinating in secret.
“This human prodigy is only 19. By tournament rules, the age cap is 30. She could compete in a second Decennial Tournament p>
“She can’t be allowed to grow stronger. Kill her early p>
“Who goes p>
“She has human divine spirits protecting her. We need a god of our own p>
The alien races had formed an alliance. They sent the Tusked Boar Demon God as the vanguard.
“Joanna, I sense danger! Move! Call the others p>
Benjamin’s voice was urgent. He grabbed Joanna and bolted.
Joanna tried to activate Astral Step-
But the surrounding space had
A divine domain.
Spatial lockdown.
ardened. Energy lockdown. Astral Step was blocked.
Benjamin’s speed was terrifying. The massive shadow behind them couldn’t close the gap.

“Human prodigy, Joanna Lane-you won’t escape p>
The Tusked Boar Demon God’s telepathic roar flooded her mind like a massive bell, rattling her soul.
Joanna immediately unleashed her affinity aura and activated Disaster Redirection.
The target: Francis, the god guarding the human zone.
Francis felt a chill run down his spine. Something ominous had just been redirected onto him.
He also detected the Tusked Boar Demon God.
Francis drew his bow and aimed.
Joanna remembered the scene she’d witnessed during the Bloodstained City dungeon.
An arrow streaked across the cosmos, growing larger, trailing phantasmal visions, and locked onto the Boar God.
A luminous barrier materialized around the Boar God like a planetary atmosphere, deflecting the arrow.
The Boar God’s range was shorter than Francis’s, so it charged forward, already forgetting about Joanna entirely.
But as the Boar God closed in, it failed to notice two colossal figures rising from among the tiny human ranks.
One was humanoid, wielding a fire-wreathed axe.
The God of Divine Might. Kevin.
The other was far more unsettling.
A massive form-conjoined twins for an upper body, one male, one female. The man’s eyes were shut. The woman’s were open.
Below the waist, octopus tentacles writhed and propelled the creature through space.
A single glance could drive you
mad.
Helen, in Symbiotic Fusion mode.
Three gods versus one. The Boar God’s blood ran cold,
“Get out of here! Are you going to let me be surrounded?” The Boar God raged.
3/4
Two more figures tore through the fabric of
A planet-sized shark.
A sun-wreathed golden crow.
space.
The Star Shark Demon God and the Golden Crow Demon God.
Francis and his allies had expected the Nightmare Spider race. After all, the Tusked Boar, Star Shark, and Nightmare Spider races had all been competing for this zone.
