Chapter 1002 Battle of Armies
BOOM!!
He quickly activated War Dominance and declared in a domineering voice…
"Unless you\'ve died a million times."
This overbearing and majestic declaration echoed in the dead and desolate battlefield filled with nothing but black soil, dead trees, and dark clouds in the sky.
Cough!
Cough!
Thud! Anakin finally suffered through immense backlash and fell to the ground from the sky.
"What kind of power is that? Why is it similar to the one used by the Hero of Space?" asked Anakin in a terrified voice.
"It was the Hero of Space who told me how to deal with powers like yours.
You remember him, right? The always calm guy who acted like he didn\'t care about anyone but deep inside, he did.
He was the kind who pretended to be hard and cold from the outside but was actually a softie and warm person from the inside.
The world where I come from… we call people like him a Tsundere." revealed Kahn with a smirk as he hovered in the sky.
"I see. Nevermind… no matter how much this timeline has divulged because of your intervention; it still won\'t change your fate this time." said the Hero of Time and soon, he raised his spear-like scepter high.
"Domain of Chronokinesis : First Form…
Space-Time Intergrade!" bellowed Anakin and a golden shockwave resonated in the surroundings.
Woosh!
Woosh!
Soon, millions of replicas of Hero of Time appeared on the ground and spread in a 30-kilometer radius. Although none of them were saints or even grandmasters for that matter, just the sheer numbers alone were terrifying enough to be considered as a kingdom\'s army… Especially when all of them were battlemages just like Anakin.
"Petty tricks." scoffed Kahn from the sky as he looked down upon this terrifying number.
"You can\'t win against me, Salvatore. I have an endless army of myself." proclaimed Anakin with a vicious smile.
Kahn on the other end, smirked and replied...
"Summoning different versions of you from different times of reality isn\'t a small feat.
But it also weakens your overall mana and world energy since you have to share it with all of them as they\'re relying on you, the actual body present at this time.
Besides, as far as an army is concerned… I\'ve got one too." he declared the very next moment…
"Awaken."
BOOM!!
Kahn\'s black and blue aura suddenly spread in the 40-kilometer radius against GIdeon\'s copies that existed in different directions locations.
Rumble!
Crack!
Tremble!
Both the sky and the ground shook as the entire domain created by the Finality of Time was now shaking and cracking.
In the sky, thousands of flying monsters appeared from Kahn\'s black and blue aura, each one adept in flight and having different species and sizes.
SKRAA!!
SCREECH!
They screeched and bellowed in their own way, sending shockwaves and strong gusts of wind on the battlefield.
Crumble!
The ground cracked open as soon, one after another, innumerable figures arose as if the gates of hell were opened. The sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
And now, millions of soldiers that included Knights, Mags, Archers, Spearmen, and Healers added with rare classes also took a firm stand.
Like an empire\'s army, they systematically positioned themselves in various battle formations and took a defensive stance as if it were a war between armies of rivaling nations.
ROAR!
RAWRR!!
This wasn\'t the end to it either as following them… arose millions of monsters varying in sizes and species making this warcry echo in this vast battlefield.
Among these summoned monsters… More than 2000 of them were already at High Lord rank which was comparable to a Peak Grandmaster.
Hundreds of them also had abilities of both warriors of different class and monster species since they were the amalgamations Kahn created using the Synthesis divine ability.
If Anakin had millions of copies of himself by bending the flow of time…
Kahn\'s overall numbers were more than 5 million.
"You… what is this ?! You did not have such powers!" spoke the true Anakin, completely gobsmacked.
"It\'s like you said Gideon…
You\'re not the only one cursed with knowledge." replied future Kahn with a smug tone.
"Attack!" he commanded his monster army.
Bang!
Clang!
Thud!
Clatter!
Like a flurry of raging monsters and soldiers attacking fearlessly, the battle between Anakin\'s army of himself was annexed on all fronts.
Regardless of how talented he was as a battlemage, with an overwhelming number of fearless monsters and an army of well-versed soldiers as well as flying monsters assaulting from the sky… the Hero of Time started suffering immense losses in mere minutes.
This was the first time Kahn used his entire army of summoned monsters in a large-scale battle.
If this was a war against an enemy nation… it would turn into a one-sided massacre for the enemies. ----------------
1 Hour Later…
The apparent result lay before Anakin\'s eyes as Kahn\'s army of summoned entities completely slaughtered his own and now, not a single copy of himself remained.
The first form of his Domain of Chronokinesis, a form of power that could destroy an empire\'s army given the right conditions… was butchered to the last member by Kahn\'s own army.
After they got destroyed, Anakin was pushed to his limits.
"You bastard… what the hell was that?
Why do you have the Necromancy divine ability?!" he explained in disdain while barely gasping for breath.
"That\'s the neat part, Gideon. I don\'t." declared future Kahn with a smug smile.
"Bullshit! Nothing can explain that army of monsters unless you\'ve turned yourself into an Elder Lich." rebuked Anakin and started another spell.
But soon, the Hero of Time started casting a massive spell that covered the nearby 5 kilometers of ground.
Kahn just folded his arms and let him complete the spell as if he wasn\'t worried at all.
Schwoom!
Schwoom!
One after another, a total of 11 magic circles arose from the ground and soon, a massive surge of Saint Pressure erupted.
BOOM!!
The entire surroundings trembled with shockwaves as familiar faces reappeared.
The Hero of Time… had resurrected his Party members. And this time, all of them were also proper Saints.
"My, my… Using both Finality of Time and Domain of Chronokinesis just to bypass the laws of the world and resurrect your dead allies…
You have become desperate haven\'t you, Gideon?" Kahn mocked the Hero of Time.
[Do you see this, my other version?
This is the type of battle where you use what you\'ve been taught for the past year.
So let me show you how to use your new powers and skills the best way so that when you are surrounded by these many enemies in the future, you will know how to deal with them effectively.] he spoke.
The dragon swirling around him nodded and disappeared into thin air.
"It\'s time to use what master Romulus taught me." spoke future Kahn.
He then called back all the summoned monsters and closed his eyes.
----------------
**FLASHBACK**
Back in the day when Romulus taught him 5 different skills that he created for Kahn…
The latter learned many skills.
Harnessing Conceptualization Embodiment: In this skill, Kahn was able to enter a battle mode where he could create monsters and imitate their movements and fighting styles. For example, he could turn into a giant basilisk made of pure world energy and fight like it. Similar to how Rudra did.
The reason why it was the 3rd technique Romulus taught Kahn was because it was heavily dependent on the first two techniques. Kahn needed to master Harnessing to greatly saturate and stack world energy to a degree that even his simplest attack or skill would be 5 times more effective than its maximum potential. Conceptualization was needed to increase his mental fortitude and control over both world energy and elemental mastery. So he could summon these creatures and change their elements at will just like he did it with his weapons. Thanks to Vildred, Kahn had 100% affinity to all elements in the world at this point. After learning the results, Romulus tweaked the technique to fit Kahn and used a different approach for Embodiment in a way that would best suit Kahn. But what Kahn didn\'t know was that his master wasn\'t just making random alternatives but something even he himself as the main subject couldn\'t anticipate. And the biggest factor was… Kahn\'s bloodlines. Because Kahn possessed multiple bloodlines and had some purity of high tier, Romulus created a technique that would help him utilize those bloodlines in this combat technique. Romulus said back then… "There is a particular empire where their saints use a different but somewhat similar method of this combat technique. Since they can\'t turn into their primal forms like us True Descendants and not everyone is a summoner class with mastery over various elements… What they do is use their own elemental affinity and world energy to materialize a spectral form." he revealed to Kahn inside the training realm. "They use their bloodline to shape that spectral form into a bestial form based on their bloodlines which are correlated to their ancestors and the monster species they are from. For example, a normal-looking human saint could use his wind elemental world energy and summon the form of a flying monster or a bird that his bloodline has traces of. By no means they\'re Beastkins or True Descendants, the bloodline itself is thinned into their lineage to the point that it doesn\'t even affect their auras or any physical features to make them look distinct from other humans. But by using this technique, they can harness that dormant bloodline temporarily to assume such forms and fight as if they were those monsters themselves." he explained solemnly. "Like someone is looks like a human but turns into a werewolf made of mana if he has the bloodline?" asked Kahn "Correct. But instead of turning into a monster themselves, they can use their world energy as a medium to bring out the latent bloodline and shape it to use it for combat." iterated Romulus. "I see. But how does it help me?" questioned Kahn.
To his query, Romulus replied in a menacing tone…
"Because especially in your case... It will completely turn the tide of the battle."
