Chapter 116: Chapter 94: The Legendary One Who Overcame Divine Punishment!

He simply couldn’t imagine how Ao Yu had managed to pull this off.

The concealment was just too deep.

No wonder he could marry a princess.

No, it’s to marry the Queen!

And at that moment, as the potion was sprayed across the entire Royal Capital, everyone’s symptoms were greatly alleviated. Even though these people were not mages or demon warriors and could not recover quickly, when they weakly crawled up from the ground, gazed at the scene around them, then looked at the Queen within the mirror image magic, they had all understood what had happened.

They had been saved.

They survived Divine Punishment!

The Queen had not deceived them!

Person after person was crying tears of joy, hugging their families tightly right on the street.

Even among them were many believers, but in the end, those whose faith outweighed their instinctive fear of death were few, especially after having tasted the extreme agony of near death.

Now, all that remained was the boundless joy of narrowly escaping disaster.

Some of the more optimistic even started shouting, “Long live the Queen!”

They gathered around the mirror image magic, gazing excitedly at the Queen in the projection.

Aivlette, the princess who had ascended the throne as a temporary queen, had accumulated immense renown in the shortest time!

Of course, Ao Yu’s name, too, rapidly spread alongside the diffusion of the potion.

The one who had conquered Divine Punishment!

This title was destined to echo throughout the entire plane.

But right now, Ao Yu no longer cared about the spreading potion—he only joyously watched the Gray Mist numbers displayed inside the Gray Mist Space.

After the previous discussion about the assignment scheme for Gray Mist, Shen Yu had already arranged a Gray Mist Space for each Shen Yu.

Every Shen Yu could view the total amount of Gray Mist they’d acquired, and the total they could control.

It could also be used as a storage space.

At that moment, Wizard Shen Yu suddenly discovered that the amount of Gray Mist he’d received seemed to far exceed the population he’d actually saved.

“Did I not only save those who were already infected by the plague, but also those who would have been infected?” Wizard Shen Yu seemed to grasp the reason.

The total population of this plane was roughly around 2.4 to 2.5 billion; within Violet, there were just over fifty million people, barely a medium-sized country.

And just now, Wizard Shen Yu had received more than two hundred million Gray Mist, and this number was still skyrocketing!

“If this one plague could wipe out everyone across the entire plane, wouldn’t I get more than two billion?” Wizard Shen Yu exerted great effort to control his excitement.

At this moment, he was not alone—Shen Yu was also marveling at the Gray Mist rapidly increasing in the Gray Mist Space.

He, too, hadn’t expected that a newcomer’s debut would bring such a huge surprise.

The Association had not only avoided any expenditure, but had earned a harvest right from the start!

However, the newcomer’s world was indeed extraordinary in its danger.

At this moment, Wizard Shen Yu quickly snapped back from the joy of obtaining so much Gray Mist.

“Aivlette.” He looked at Aivlette and said, “I need to return to the Magic Empire for a bit.”

“…” Aivlette was reluctant, but still nodded. “Alright.”

“Don’t worry, if I want to come back, I can, anytime.” Wizard Shen Yu smiled. “Don’t forget my origin—the Divine Spirit of my homeland has given me the ability to traverse space. I might be the safest person in this world.”

“I’m truly happy for you.” Aivlette smiled radiantly with surprise and nodded vigorously. “Go ahead, do what you have to do, and I will do everything I can here, in the way you taught me.”

Wizard Shen Yu didn’t waste much time on romance; he strode straight to the grand hall.

In this world, there were many kinds of transportation.

On the ground, warhorses and even some specially bred extraordinary species—like a creature called the Earth Dragon—were the fastest means of travel on land.

There were also flying mounts in the sky. Though there were no griffins like those classic beasts in the novels of his previous life, there were many large birds that could be controlled.

But the fastest means of transportation was still Teleportation Magic.

This was a magic, once invented, that instantly became sought-after, and was virtually a required subject for every official mage.

Normally, performing the entire Teleportation Magic required dozens, even hundreds of mages casting together to complete the spell.

All those who could independently perform Teleportation Magic were called “Great Mages.”

A Great Mage was not a mark of scholarship, but pure, magical power.

Previously, Wizard Shen Yu was very far from reaching this stage.

But now, he felt he could easily do it.

And that was the truth.

The powerful Primordial Spirit he shared from Martial Artist Shen Yu had elevated his Spiritual Power to an extreme level. In this world, Magic Power did not come from nature but from the soul, and so right now his Magic Power was more abundant than ever before.

He even suspected that, in terms of Magic Power, even a Legendary Mage might not surpass him.

As Magic Power continuously sketched out intricate patterns around him, one magical structure after another appeared, Wizard Shen Yu controlled this powerful magic with ease, and all the ministers remaining in the grand hall watched in utter amazement.

None of them had ever known that this young mage, whose reputation in commerce far surpassed his reputation in magic, actually possessed such Magic Power!

If, previously, subduing the Kingdom Guard Captain relied on some unknown Magic Guide, and as for conquering Divine Punishment, no one had actually witnessed it, then the Space Magic he now exhibited was power everyone could clearly see and easily understand.

Great Mage.

Even before the appearance of the apocalyptic Divine Oracle, this was already a figure worthy of any king’s respect as a guest of honor.

“He really did hide too deep.”

Everyone understood clearly.

The power of a Great Mage, combined with the achievement of defeating Divine Punishment—this would be a new Legendary Mage!

Still, these ministers—recently snatched back from the edge of death—now felt nothing but gratitude.

Grateful that there was such a deeply hidden figure among them.

Meanwhile, as preparations for Space Magic entered the final moment, Wizard Shen Yu’s form vanished from the hall.

He reappeared in an open plaza.

This was the area reserved by the Magic Empire for Teleportation Magic, equipped with dedicated auxiliary magic for teleportation.

What surprised Wizard Shen Yu was that here, he directly saw the Magic Emperor!

Yes, it was the Magic Emperor—a white-bearded old man dressed in the Great Sun Robe, who looked far more like a Great Mage than an Emperor.

In fact, the man was indeed the most Legendary Mage alive today.

But just now, the Magic Emperor’s face bore an immense weariness.

“Your Majesty,” Wizard Shen Yu had barely spoken before he was cut off.

“I’ve told you,” said the Magic Emperor, Acosta with a smile, “every mage who graduates from the Imperial Magic School only needs to address me as Headmaster. In the Magic Empire, the laws of magic are greater than those of the empire.”

“Magic before empire—I haven’t forgotten, Headmaster.” Wizard Shen Yu immediately adapted. “It looks like you were waiting for me?”

“No formalities anymore?” Acosta shook his head, but didn’t mind at all. “I wasn’t waiting for you—I was just about to find you. Let’s talk in a safer place. I hope you haven’t forgotten the way to the academy.”

With those words, his figure rose into the air.

Wizard Shen Yu followed close behind.

Almost all mages could cast Flying Magic, but most could only hover or glide short distances.

True flight was also a mark of a Great Mage.

Wizard Shen Yu soared upward and saw that the streets of the Magic Imperial Capital were deserted; every building was protected by a Magic Barrier, and all defensive magical facilities had activated.

Countless automated magical puppets filled every street and alley.

“We detected the plague the moment it started,” Acosta’s voice sounded in Wizard Shen Yu’s ear. “We gathered almost every Great Mage to research it, but it was hard—extremely hard.”
