Chapter 233, Roll In
The Chaos Octagram Array that connected to the real world was guarded by humans as impregnable as a fortress.
Even when there were only around a hundred and eighty space warriors and others, they were able to hold their ground and prevent those Storm Monsters from breaking through, it was only due to the passage of time in battle, fatigue, and ammunition reserves that they gradually became unable to continue.
But Gu Hang's arrival wiped out these two negative issues entirely.
At the same time, he ordered the remaining five hundred or so elite special forces stationed in C7 Zone to also step into the underground space and join the domain of the Primal Fury Owl.
With these additional five hundred people, the sealing of the Chaos Array became even more like an iron fortress.
However, Gu Hang was still not satisfied with this.
Assembling the 31st Airborne Division and having Tadeusz lead the Northern Frontier Army Group to the designated location were preparations for subsequent plans.
He planned to pull the entire army in.
The Primal Fury Owl likes to pull people in, right?
What's the point of only focusing on areas around the Cult's array with such a small-minded approach? Let's go big!
Actually, it wasn't the Primal Fury Owl who intended to pull the humans into its domain; it was completely accidental.
After the Chaos Array broke down the barriers between the domain of the Rage Owl Evil God and the real world, the connection between the two became incredibly tight. The aura of Hell's Abyss naturally spread out, passively 'hauling' those who were too close 'halfway' into this place.
It's said to be 'halfway' because those pulled in still had their real bodies in the real world; it was their thoughts, wills, and souls that came to this place.
But Hell's Abyss, or the entire 'True Realm,' is not purely a world of energy. Here, physical laws are in chaos, Spiritual Energy is dense, and energy, will, and matter are entangled in chaos.
Upon arriving here, people will have bodies just like in the real world and the things they carry with them will also be brought in some way. Ammo fired here cannot be used in the real world anymore; when someone is injured here, the same injury will manifest on their body outside, and the same goes for death.
Previously, what Gu Hang did to 'eliminate fatigue' was to purely use spiritual power to intervene in the warriors' sensations, replenishing their 'stamina' with Spiritual Energy. Those rounds of ammo were 'transported' into this place from the real world and placed on the warriors.
Afterward, the act of pulling half of the 31st Airborne Division into the Evil God Realm was Gu Hang intentionally expanding the influence range of the evil array, specifically extending it to the assembly area of the 31st Airborne Division and dragging them all in.
Dragging an entire airborne division with artillery and over five thousand people wasn't just about sealing that Chaos Array.
If the goal was just that, the people already present would have been enough.
In fact, Gu Hang's target was the Rage Owl God itself.
At this moment, human warriors had already occupied a large area within the Owl God's domain. Half an infantry division, over a two-kilometer perimeter, set up multi-tiered defensive positions.
Previously, the goal of human warriors was to stop those monsters from breaking out of the Chaos Array. But now, forget about breaking out; those monsters can't even get within three hundred meters of the Chaos Array.
However, those ordinary monsters made up of storms were never a part of Gu Hang's considerations.
They may be numerous and endlessly spawning at any moment, but they are scarce in long-range attacks. A small part of them can fire wind bullets, causing some casualties, but as soon as these things appear, they will be wiped out from afar.
In contrast, the firepower on the human side is much fiercer.
The real world has a real impact on the True Realm. When those cannons were transferred over, the 155mm howitzer shells they fired still possessed terrifying lethal force.

And these attacks didn't require any expenditure of Gu Hang's power.
On the contrary, with so many humans steadily holding this three hundred meters deep position, some special changes occurred here. The dark clouds above dissipated a bit, the solid ground softened, and shoveling into it caused cracks in rocks; a few more digs would carve out a pit.
This was the transformation of domain laws.
Areas occupied by humans for a long time were gradually breaking away from the concept of the Evil God's domain and were no longer under the control of the Primal Fury Owl.
That was Gu Hang's goal.
After he acquired much knowledge that could be understood, this was the solution he came up with—he wanted to completely eradicate the Rage Owl Evil God, dissolve its Divine Realm, and resolve the issue of the Primordial Heresy that loomed over the Rage Owl Star from its source!
As a considerable part of the area was occupied by humans and stripped of the Divine Realm properties, the Primal Fury Owl's forward progress became even slower.
Although it originally belonged to the real world as a Rage Owl, over the past few centuries, it had embraced Hell's Abyss and was also accepted by Hell's Abyss, becoming a part of Hell's Abyss.
For it to cross over the veil between the True Realm and the real world was incredibly difficult, subjected to many restrictions, and even with the 'door' opened, it had to slowly unveil the curtain itself.
Originally, this process would have taken just three to five hours, but the interstellar warriors' sabotage of the Cult ceremony forced the High Priest to prematurely push the ceremony to its climax, greatly prolonging this timeframe.
