Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174 - Taming the Old World - Eternal Hope - 2

Selphira watched in horror as the Gold mutants began to violently mutate before her eyes. Their muscles swelled, tearing through their own scales. Their physical mass expanded, fueled by the premium, Platinum-grade meat they were swallowing whole.

And Ren wasn’t at his best...

From a distance, he looked like an untouchable god. But up close, he was operating at perhaps thirty percent capacity, the residue of a man who had already murdered a Diamond-tier dragon, dismantled an ancient volcanic defense system, and flown halfway across the globe.

He was an incredibly powerful ally. He was the only piece on the board capable of halting a push that had previously seemed unstoppable.

But his reserves were finite, and everyone standing next to him knew it.

The wave of relief was painfully short-lived.

The moment the surviving commanders caught their breath and truly looked at Ren, the cold knot of dread returned to their stomachs.

Julius caught Selphira’s eye. The silent communication passed between them in a fraction of a second. They had bought a moment of breathing room, but the war was far from over.

The Glorious General had arrived, but they still had to fight.

Julius, covered in dirt and dried blood, didn’t waste a single second on pleasantries. The Qilin prince stepped forward, pointing a finger toward the churning sea of mutants.

"Ren, we absolutely cannot let them advance another inch. We have to break them right here. The beasts are trying to reach Yino’s Castle. That is where all their pressure is focused. They have been pushing down this exact avenue the entire siege, completely ignoring their own casualties and refusing to flank us. They earnestly want the castle this time."

"It’s the exact same pattern," Selphira added, stepping up beside Julius. Her eyes never left the end line. "This is exactly what happened during Orion’s rebellion. Selthia used his chaotic push as a smokescreen to pressure the castle directly. Whatever she is truly after, it hasn’t changed. She is going for the exact same prize."

Ren nodded slowly, processing the tactical overlap. His mind raced, calculating the trajectory of the swarm.

But Selphira hadn’t finished.

"Ren..." Her voice dropped into that low, unforgiving register she reserved for cold truths. "We are almost entirely exhausted. Our cores are scraping the bottom of the barrel. You look like you’re also tired. And in our current state, there is absolutely no way we can hold this line if Selthia keeps funneling the energy of Platinum beasts from the three new territorial rings she just conquered."

She paused, forcing the devastating reality of the board to settle over them.

"Those three new Platinum rings combined possess an area roughly equivalent to everything she has already consumed from the Gold ring downward. And the energy stored in those deep zones is ten times denser."

Ren stood perfectly still. The wind howled around them.
