Mercury's Fight

Every minute felt like like an hour to the human army.

The unexpected rain of treasures, elixirs and formations from the powerful families and institutions was a blessing that saved them from a quick loss against the abyssals.

But the fight didn't get easier.

By all metrics, the abyssals were winning. Their onslaught was slowed for sure, but the end result didn't really change.

While abyssals felt irritated that humans who were supposed to be destroyed in three or four days could now hold up for a whole month, humans panicked that they all might go extinct in a month.

No one was safe. From Mercury to Neptune, each planet's army was being slowly crushed.

Besides the strengthening of the abyssals, the treasures the Abyss Emperor granted them was another major factor.

Mercury has perhaps the most cohesive army of all. They're more co-ordinated, more rigorous and more cold-blooded compared to their peers on other planets.
