Chapter 2160 Strategy to Win

"It is hard to say. Considering the number of Gods alone, I'd say our chances of winning the war are less than 10%. But understand that winning the war doesn't mean surviving. The Spiritual World may win, but we may all die in the war." Minos commented in a deep tone.

Merritt and Maximillian understood very well that even if they won, a lot would be lost one way or the other.

Minos continued. "But we can't be sure of anything until we face them on the battlefield... However, there is an alternative to improve our chances."

"What is that?" Merritt asked. "The Mechanic Empire is definitely a great conqueror of worlds, but it's not the only civilization out there. Surely, there are others like this ruler of The Adamant Land. It must have rivals on the same level or even stronger". Minos replied with a twinkle in his eye.

"Are you thinking of using one of these rivals against the Mechanic Empire to help us?" Maximilian quickly understood what Minos was thinking.

"Yes, that would be ideal. I know it would be tough to achieve, and such a plan would bring danger to the Spiritual World. But if we could have a little more time to worry about a civilization capable of destroying us, that would be good enough." Minos replied.

Merritt thought about it. The strategy of using your enemy's enemy was an old one. It usually resulted in negative consequences, but when it worked, it was quite useful in the short term, giving the weaker party some 'relief' and often resulting in a lesser evil.

The level 99 old man said. "How would we reach the enemies of the Mechanic Empire?"

"To do that, we would have to send a group of people to explore the universe. Specifically, such a group would use the wormhole built by our world's own invaders and set out from The Adamant Land in search of answers." Minos said that was the only way to do it.

"That would be dangerous. We would have to give up warriors, and they could take a long time to reach the enemies of The Adamant Land." Maximilian sighed.

Maximilian said. "Get ready to use all your faith on the first day of the war. While you may not be able to defeat a God on your own, you will be able to temporarily help us against our main opponents.

You might be able to help us defeat at least one of the enemy Gods, so don't use this power indiscriminately, and be ready for my signal. I'll talk to the other Gods about using their powers against the enemies.

Minos clenched his fists, aware that he could do something with his power of faith but that he would be back to his normal self after a single attack.

"We'll help you get out of the main battlefield right away. But you must join us in the first attack." Maximillian said as he squeezed one of Minos' shoulders.

Merritt couldn't feel the power of Minos' faith like Maximilian could, but he knew how powerful faith could be. Hundreds of millions loved Emperor Stuart, so he did not doubt that the power this young man possessed was impressive.

'Unfortunately, we don't have many people capable of absorbing the power of faith...' Merritt closed his eyes as he thought about how rare cases like Minos' were.

If there were five people capable of gathering faith in this world today, that was a lot!

Even though he was the leader of the Spiritual Church and a God, Maximilian himself had no power of faith since he had only recently appeared in the world and taken the position of the one who could use that power.

By killing the man who was considered the leader of the faith of hundreds of millions, Maximilian had put himself in a situation where he could not absorb the power of faith gathered by the Spiritual Church.

As for the other Gods, only Vico was said to have that power!

The elves, Sky Whales, and dragons were not worshipped in significant numbers to gather such power, so only humans had a chance to use such power in the war that was about to begin.

That was exactly why Maximilian was there to talk to Minos.

"I'll do my best," Minos said when he had finally finished the matter with these two experts and saw the labyrinth his children were in again.
