Chapter 283 Letting go
This exhilarating battle lasted for a full week.

During this week, wave after wave of beasts attacked the shield, but they were all blocked. Lei Dianzhen had stopped everything he was doing and used all his divine power to maintain the shield.

The soldiers fought bravely during this precious time and only when they were exhausted were they dragged away to rest and replaced by others.

Inazuma's ghosts, monsters, and Tengu also joined the battle during this period. Although their numbers were far less than the army, they relied on their racial advantage to kill just as many monsters as possible, and were an extremely powerful help.

Unlike the ordinary soldiers who were tired, Lu Shiyuan and Ying, as well as Yu Chiyo and the Tengu chieftain had been fighting intensively for a week, day and night. The vortex endlessly swept everything in the sea and the air, and the thunder never stopped. The huge force of the ghost clan strongmen flattened the heads of countless monsters, and the winged monsters were shot down one after another by Tengu's arrows.

During this week, the total number of Warcraft killed by all people combined has reached a terrifying level of 10 billion.

Finally, the tide of monsters became a little sparse, and could no longer cover the ocean and sky as it did before. Victory was in sight.

However, what to do with these tens of billions of animal corpses is another big problem. Countless animal corpses are piled together, and the abyss power in their bodies is entangled with each other, emitting a power that corrodes everything. If they are buried casually, the land will definitely become a poisonous land, and no grass will grow for thousands of years.

Many soldiers have been contaminated by the power of the abyss due to carelessness and turned into monsters.

This is not the most important thing. What is more important is that the carcasses are rotting. If they are not dealt with quickly, a great plague that will sweep across Inazuma will come sooner or later.

At this time, the Narukami Taisha Shrine, which is in charge of the purification ceremony, needs to step in.

Kitsusai Palace prayed to the divine cherry blossom, causing its roots to spread to where the animal corpses were piled up, absorbing the filthy power therein.

She herself led a group of witches to set up a purification array around the beast's corpse, purifying the beast's body with thunder and fire, and purifying the beast's tormented spirit with prayer and rituals.

In this way, the animal carcasses were cleaned up bit by bit, but if one wanted to clean them up completely while ensuring that they themselves were not contaminated, it would be impossible without a hundred or eighty years of effort.

But in general, the impact of the animal corpse was limited to a specific range.

Although the scourge of corpses has been resolved, there are still some big troubles that people are unable to deal with - some monsters bypassed Ming Shen Island and landed in Yayun Island and Kamunashika, occupied a large amount of territory, and counterattacked Ming Shen Island.

Fortunately, the people in these areas have already been relocated to Ming Shen Island, otherwise what would have happened is really unimaginable.

However, these monsters are still a serious threat. Once the shield is broken, they will surround the Inazuma army together with the large force on the front battlefield, and then they will be in trouble.

All we can say is that plans cannot keep up with changes. Before actually experiencing the disaster, who could have imagined that the number of monsters would be so huge?

Under the beast tide, even the farther Haigi Island could not avoid the fate of being attacked. However, according to informants, Haigi Island simply hid in the legendary "Yuanxia Palace" after the disaster.

It was an ancient national site located underground. After entering, most monsters could not find the entrance, and the few that happened to sneak in could be easily killed.

Just let the monsters wreak havoc there. It won’t be too late to return to land when they leave.

This is a trick that only they can do.

……

In the afternoon, Lu Shiyuan temporarily stopped slaughtering the monsters and came to the castle tower of Inazuma Castle.

He came to visit Raiden Zhen on behalf of Ying and others.

Climbing up to the top floor of the castle tower and opening the door, Lu Shiyuan saw the first generation Thunder God. At this time, Zhen was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Every moment, a huge amount of divine power was drawn from her body, turning into purple streams of light, pouring into the formation, maintaining the stability of the formation.

The room was no longer as clean and tidy as before. It looked like it had not been cleaned for a week. The floor, her surroundings, shoulders and knees were all covered with dust.

It was obvious that she hadn't even moved at all during this period.

"Really." Lu Shiyuan called softly.

When he heard someone calling his name, Lei Dianzhen's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

Lu Shiyuan could clearly see that his eyes were full of fatigue.

Maintaining the large formation covering the entire Ming Shen Island consumes far more energy than those of them going into battle to kill the enemies.

"Shi Yuan, why are you here?" Zhen asked in confusion, "Are you tired?"

"I should ask you this question." Lu Shiyuan shook his head and forced a smile. "If you are tired, you should take a good rest. You have done enough. Everyone is worried that you will not be able to hold on."

Lei Dianzhen was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can still hold on."

"You clearly said that you could only increase the chance of winning by half, but now it seems that you have fully fulfilled the duties of a ruling god. If it weren't for you, Inazuma would have suffered heavy losses." Lu Shiyuan sighed softly, "But, Zhen, even if it was you, you couldn't hold on forever. I have the mission to protect you, and I can't just watch you get drained of your divine power by the formation."

"Thank you for your concern, Shi Yuan, but the formation must be maintained. If I can hold on a little longer, I can save more people."

"No, you should rest." Lu Shiyuan gently brushed off the dust on her body and said seriously, "You fought for a week, and you have fulfilled your responsibilities.

The number of monsters we have killed has reached tens of billions. We have rich experience in slaughtering monsters. It is estimated that there are only seven or eight billion monsters left. With the joint efforts of Ying, I and the army, it won't take long to kill them all.

Really, it's time to let go and trust your companions and people."

"Let go..." Lei Dianzhen's eyes flickered slightly, she was hesitating.

But it didn't take long for her to make a decision. "Okay, the shield will be lifted in two hours."

It’s not that she is so easily persuaded, but because her limit is there, and no matter how hard she tries, she can’t maintain the shield for long.

In this case, it is better to tell everyone in advance so that they can be prepared.

Hearing this, Lu Shiyuan's eyes lit up: "That's good, I'll go notify the entire army first, and I'll pick you up in two hours."

"Pick me up?" He opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes." Lu Shiyuan said as a matter of course, "Before, you had the shield, so you were not afraid of being attacked by the enemy, but now that the shield is gone, what will you do if some cunning beings come to attack you?
If something happens to you, it will be too late for us to regret.

It is best for me to protect you."
