I thought this was going to happen when I saw Yogur-Thoth get hit by a slingshot and his eyeball explode.
He's a guy with a flawed arrogance, so I knew he'd mess things up like that at least once. This is a fatal wound. It's not like there aren't talented people in the enemy world. He's even taking on the verge of a promotion exam.
And the bullets he used are
Oh dear. The biggest advantage of high-level monsters is that they're immune to human wave tactics, but with that, even ordinary elite soldiers can inflict significant damage on Yogur-Thoth.
"Yogur-Thoth! Come back! There's no need to settle things now!"
I'll say it anyway, even though I know you won't listen.
[You bastards! I'll kill them all! I'll annihilate you, leaving no trace behind!]
As expected, you're not listening. Even though we're in the early stages of the dimensional passage, you're forcibly opening it with
Think about it. Is the current situation favorable or unfavorable to me?
Furthermore, should I try to force this situation out, or should we interfere?
Yogur-Thoth is already firing magic. The enemies are responding with fire. Yogur-Thoth uses more magic to create a defensive barrier, and the enemies, mindful of the destruction of the city, also deploy protective magic.
I see that they've brought out a few slingshots that look like anti-aircraft guns to catch Bisyakheet, and if I leave it alone, Yogur-Thoth will really get pierced by the slingshots and curses.
In extreme cases, if Yogur-Thoth bursts a few more eyes and the enemies drives in five or six curse stakes, he may die right away, but even if he doesn't, if he gets shot down, the enemy's Irsan or that slinger will be upgraded to level 11 for his merit.
He might get promoted.
So who's going to stop him? Should I expend my reserves of the Old God's fragments to craft another legendary creation? Or should I simply rely on the invincible defensive capabilities of 『Divine Unity』and『Creation of Heaven and Earth』 and drag him into a global war?
While I was pondering this, a storm summoned by Yogur-Thoth swept through the enemy world. The enemies, either climate wizards or nature wizards, seemed to possess some sort of weather manipulation ability, so they responded. Perhaps they were able to cultivate it because they were connected to the Great Sky?
Since he appeared right above the enemy's capital, it seems that Yogur-Thoth is actually fighting the enemy's main base alone…
After much thought, I came to a conclusion.
"I'm going crazy."
"Yes?"
"Let's push everything in. We'll end the enemy world with this one shot."
I poured all my divine power into maintaining the space-time rift so that Yogur-Thoth could focus on the battle, and I destroyed all the Bisyakheets in the Nectar Spring and all the caramel monsters, gummies, candy, swarms, jellies, etc. that were spread across the desert.
He thrust a revelation that opened a dimensional passage in front of all creatures that could attack the world and caused them to cross over to the opposing world.
Go. Win and come back.
"Mr. Vein? If we continue like this, there is no future?! We're the attackers, not the defenders! What if we send them all away, leaving behind not even the bare minimum of life for reproduction?"
"It doesn't matter. I'll go. If I lose here, that'll be my limit."
"Heeeeeeek?!"
It is my reward for the opponent's spirit.
Accept it. If you hold on, you will win.

The slingshot army led by Irsan vs. Yogur-Thoth.
Who has the advantage? If you ask, Irsan's side would be the clear winner. Not only is Irsan's individual stats comparable, but he also has better equipment, the main force is fighting alongside him, and he has many subordinates. No matter how strong Yogur-Thoth is, he can't single-handedly destroy the enemy capital.
Even now, it's the dimensional passage section. Yogur-Thoth had to use half of his power to widen the dimensional passage.
However, the match progressed to the next level as Vein used his divine power to widen the dimensional passage to save the resources of Yogur-Thoth and opened dimensional gates like crazy to knock down the monsters.
"What the hell is that guy?"
Mitomok is bewildered by Vein's movements. Instead of intervening, he joins the fight? A truly bold move. Is his own world's defense so weak that he was underestimated?
But even more disconcerting was the sheer volume of monsters pouring out. The countless dimensional passages that opened across the vast world, almost reminiscent of infinity, and the unspeakable monsters pouring out from them…
"How much divine power does it take to do something like that?!"
It was a terrifying number. Rather than watch Irsan fight in the capital, Mitomok should have released the subordinate gods to manage the crisis across the world.
Of course, the capital is crucial to Mitomok's civilization. They have concentrated a significant amount of power in the capital, and holding on there is a key strategy.
But even so, not all residents lived in the capital. They had no choice but to disperse farming, producing rubber bands and slingshots, and crafting various magical items, including cursed items, all distributed among various regions. After all, unlike Ogolaot, Mitomok didn't possess the 『Creation of Heaven and Earth』trait.
"Emergency! We will unleash all the divine power we have!"
Knowing from the beginning that the other world was full of monsters (up until this point, he thought that the monsters were the 'intelligent species' Vein), Mitomok created a ton of things like "tigers that can be tamed by humans' and 'birds that eat jelly'. Even if an army of monsters came rushing in, he was more than capable of dealing with them.
"God! Save us!"
When thirty people prayed like this, Mitomok received the divine power and created tigers right before his eyes. These powerful creatures could even defeat caramel camels.
This action was quite significant and quite a few residents were able to create a tiger out of thin air.
They survived thanks to god's help.
But there are too many opponents.
Mitomok really suspected that his opponent had something like "Infinite Divine Power" among their traits. How on earth could he possibly open so many passages?
Common sense tells him that waiting a few years and letting them reproduce naturally is far less efficient than doing so. Otherwise, wouldn't all the gods be producing endless food through
However, no matter how you looked at it, the number of monsters the enemy was unleashing was far greater than the number of monsters Mitomok could create by pouring all of its divine power into it. If this continued, more than half of the residents would surely die.
There were too many opposing life forms there.
"The tiger is being killed by the species(monsters) of the enemy world!"
"Make a leopard that will eat those guys!"
"The leopard is being killed by a creature (a Mochi) that swings its long neck with a spear blade and impales its prey!"
"Then let's make a crocodile that eats those guys!"
"The crocodile is being hunted by giant tentacled monsters with skins (puddings)!"
"Damn it, send in the slingers!"
"Oh my god. The slingers are being pierced to death by some unknown being(candy)."
"Ugh!"
It's a problem with the food chain.
It's impossible to create an invincible creature capable of dealing with every unit in the Dessert Army. Even with a legendary trait, that's impossible.
So, they need to create a creature with a purpose, with the sole purpose of catching that creature, but then it becomes vulnerable to other predators in the dessert army.
In short, they are forced into a struggle for survival. While they are capable of creating the most ideal and perfect creations for a specific purposes, there is no surefire strategy in nature that always wins.
In other words, this is the same line between the creations of Mitomok and the dessert army.
It means that there is a competition for survival, and in other words, the one with more numbers wins.
And the number of monsters was far greater. Of course, more than half of the Dessert Army was killed, but the creatures of Mitomok were driven to near annihilation.
If they're being pushed back like this from the periphery, they need to do something from the central capital. In short, they need to shoot down Yogur-Thoth.
Of course, that was difficult in the current situation where hundreds of Bisyakheets had just descended and started to run wild.
"How on earth do they manage to raise so many of these horrible monsters!"
He doubts he'll ever be able to raise it due to maintenance costs, but there's no other way. he sparingly fires his stockpile of cursed bullets, and Irsan shoots only Yogur-Thoth, while the remaining 30 slingshot army mark Bisyakheet.
This was possible because the Slingshot Army was an elite unit with abilities that surpassed Bisyakheet's, but even considering that, their numbers were simply too great. The other slingshots poured down, seemingly blocking the sky, and only a few directly hit Bisyakheet.
"All residents, come out and fight! Use your slingshots and reduce the enemy numbers as much as possible!"
He never would have guessed that a creature could tank in midair. The spirited villagers each hurled rocks and cursed items they'd kept as a precaution, sending the daggers flying.
A rain of shards fell from the sky. It was a bizarre sight. A rain of shards... and a rain of Bisyakheet, descending at a rapid rate.
Tuk.
The rubber band snapped from someone's slingshot. The snapped rubber band bounced wildly, hitting the person pulling it hard in the face. Before they could regain their composure, other Bisyakheets rushed in and tore the person apart with their beaks and teeth.
"Bullet! Bullet...!"
The slingshot army ran out of cursed bullets. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to kill Bisyakheet in one hit… They picked up a nearby rock and shot it, but the slingshot's rubber band broke, and Bisyakheet could withstand even a rock hitting his body.
And the most important Irsan VS Yogur-Thoth.
Irsan hit Yogur-Thoth with five consecutive cursed bullets, which means that Yogur-Thoth lost five of his eleven eyes, making him a one-eyed monster with 6/11 eyes.
Exactly because they are bullets coated with a curse, Yogur-Thoth can no longer swing its tentacles properly, its body is slow, its magic that it can use is limited, its body is weak, and its magical attack power is not good.
Still, being strong is the problem.
[Die! You worm!]
Kwaaaaaaaang!
Hundreds of lightning bolts fall from thunderclouds created in the sky, slaughtering both the dessert armies and the enemy villagers with lightning indiscriminately.
Irsan, desperately trying to hold on to his slingshot, felt like the rubber band was about to snap. Should he aim for the clouds in the sky? Or should he aim for that monster again?
The bold general took a deep breath and pulled the slingshot.
Even so, Yogur-Thoth wasn't stupid enough to fall for the same trick six times in a row.
[There it is!]
Thunderclouds gather. Irsan is pinpointed as the target. Irsan panics and aims his slingshot at the thundercloud, not Yogur-Thoth.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
And with a thunderous sound, lightning struck, and Irsan's slingshot pierced the clouds, splitting the lightning. And with that, one of his precious curse bullets was wasted.
What's more tragic is that Irsan's bullets only weakened the lightning's power, but did not completely block it.
"Kwaaaaaaaah!"
Irsan, struck by lightning, the slingshot's rubber band snaps and burns.
Irsan is trembling as if paralyzed, but he doesn't seem to be dead.
Yogur-Thoth staggers with his burned body before he can attack, moved to find and destroy new slingshots and ammunition.
And then dozens of Bisyakheet rush at Irsan at the same time.
"No! Please, someone go and stop it!"
There was no divine power. There are no nearby troops to help. Irsan, wounded, beats the Bisyakheets back with his fists, while Yogur-Thoth prepares a wide-area destructive spell that will blow the city to pieces.
Mitomok's vision gradually became blurred.
