Chapter 425: The Arrival of the Divine Kingdom

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the vast Astral World, several mobile strongholds and war fortresses from the Wizard Alliance were destroyed, thousands of airships were torn apart, and endless blaze was lit up in Astral World.

Each blast and explosion of fire was as beautiful as fireworks, but that beauty foreshadowed the loss of thousands of lives and indicated a large number of powerful professionals who had sacrificed in Astral World.

Endless devils from the abyss covered the sky of Astral World, battles were everywhere, and lives in the Astral World were like ants, fragile and die easily. Everywhere in the battlefield was debris that was floating around; war fortresses, mobile strongholds, airships, wizards’ bodies, devils’ corpses, they were floating everywhere.

Many wizards in the Floating-Space Tower looked out of the window and into the Astral World, they saw countless frozen dead corpses, humans, goblins, fairies, trolls and war wrecks passed through the windows, stacked on top of each other and piled up into a tower with no end in sight.

That tragic scene was never seen before; the Wizard Alliance had never fought such a terrible and a seemingly eternal war.

A young wizard took a glance outside the window and into the depth of the battlefield of the Astral World, his eyes reflected the scene of the battlefield, and his hair stood on its end, “This is… the Astral World Battle!”

As the King of Skeleton, Mondirot, crashed onto the Eternal Floating-Space City, the corner of the huge city of Astral World was destroyed, that scene declared the end of the war. Catherine, the master of the tower, stood on top of the tower, looked at the distant Astral World and at the Fourth World. The new world looked close and within reach, but it was seemingly untouchable. Her passion, enthusiasm and vision about the future could only be reduced to helpless sighs.

“We lost!”

Miss Catherine turned over to more than ten mythical wizards behind her and said, “Retreat! We must preserve our strength!”

More than ten arcanists looked at the far-flung Fourth World, they let out a reluctant roar, “So many of us had sacrificed, yet we failed, are we going to accept such an outcome.”

“Retreat!” Several Floating-Space Towers signaled for retreat, and tens of thousands of sky fortresses and airships floated around each Floating-Space Tower, following them from the withdrawal of the battlefield.

“We can’t retreat any further, we’ve to stay behind and clear the mess!” With the order being given, the large number of captains at the forefront of the battlefield accepted the final war command.

Some had blood flushed out of their pale faces, some were shivering, some were shouting the eternal slogan of the Wizard Alliance, and at last all of them darted up and perished together with their enemies. A large number of corps took the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield, but a massive number of devils from the abyss bolted out and engaged in endless pursuit.

“Go, get out of here, retreat, retreat!” Numerous Floating-Space Towers hovered over the boundary of the Astral World, with the remaining troops they retreated to their frontier, the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall.

And the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall was beginning to accelerate to escape into the far distance; it had begun to evacuate from the vicinity of the Fourth World because devils from the abyss had continued to gush out and were following closely behind.

There were even some Devil Lords who had opened a miniature version of Abyss Gate, they built their devil’s nest, those da*n devils were like maggots, no matter how they killed, they couldn’t be annihilated. In the blink of an eye, they hatched a lot more out from the origin, it was endless.

And at that moment, in the sky Heart of the Ocean Bitwall where several sky fortresses and mobile strongholds were burning in strong flame had darted through the bitwall; the entire sky was enveloped with thick black smoke.

One after another, there were batches and batches of ten thousand in each of them; the entire sky of the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall was occupied by that tragic episode. They were once the pride of all civilians in the Wizard Alliance, but now they were all tainted with the smoke of war. They were ruined; many even fell directly from the sky and exploded in the sea.

It was until when the huge Eternal Floating-Space City had entered the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall and everyone saw that the tower which symbolized for eternal, immortality and the will of the Level Eight Mythical Wizard, Catherine, had a corner of it destroyed.

“We’re… defeated?” The civilians of the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall looked at the sky; needless to say, they knew the outcome of the war.

“Failed?” An old wizard was on a crutch, he looked extremely old, but he was still presiding over the logistics of the war. He was despondent.

“Sala Floating-Space Tower isn’t back too?” A tall troll roared in disbelief.

“Neverwinter Floating-Space Tower isn’t back too!” Human wizards looked at the Floating-Space Towers in the sky, but they weren’t looking despaired, the Floating-Space Towers of mythical wizards even if destroyed, it could be resurrected, as long as the mythical wizard was still alive, reconstruction of the Floating-Space Towers were only a matter of time.

“Queen Awjilah isn’t back, oh my god, Queen Awjilah isn’t back.” But the expressions of the fairies had drastically changed, a queen of the fairy kingdom hadn’t returned, and their Queen seemed to have lost her consciousness; that news from transmitted from the Wizard Tower, the cry of despair of the group of beautiful fairies erupted.

“Another mythical wizard has died! He died from a fatal attack of King of Skeleton!”

“How is it possible that even a part of the Eternal Floating-Space City was broken?” Many wizards in the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall who were working as support and logistics – they didn’t witness the shocking attack of the King of Skeleton on the Eternal Floating-Space City – cried in disbelief.

Many wizards of the Wizard Alliance were kneeling on the ground and mourning. In that moment, outside the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall, groups and groups of devils from the abyss, under the leadership of a Demon Lord, were chasing the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall.

The densely packed devils from the abyss eroded towards the world, but they were immediately destroyed by the enormous Mana Network set up by the Eternal Floating-Space City, more than ten Floating-Space Towers and the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall.

Lightning had the world as its center, it surrounded and passed around the bitwall, the intense brilliance radiated, even the two Devil Lords who got nearer were affected and died.

The remaining devils from the abyss stopped in their track after they heard a strange whistling, it wasn’t the sound of air when it was vibrating, but it was the demonic language of a devil monarch originated from the power of the abyss, it was a command from the Mother of Sinister Spider.

The devils were afraid to give chase; they could only see the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall go farther and farther away in sight. The devils had won the war, but the Wizard Alliance wasn’t thrown on its beam-ends.

————————————————————-

As the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall moved away, the Wizard Alliance withdrew from the heart of the war and began to count its losses. The report of its war casualties and the death of mythical wizards, the number of destroyed Mythical Wizard Towers, sky fortresses, and mobile strongholds had reached an alarming level.

Cook Bay glanced at the report and said to Catherine, the master of the tower, “This war has at least consumed three thousand years of what the Wizard Alliance has accumulated; the casualties are too severe, the goblin had sacrificed nearly two million professionals, it had hurt our foundation, Lord Catherine.”

Catherine, the master of the tower, closed her eyes, “I’ve underestimated the Abyss World, if I had promised to form an ally with the Arcane Kingdom, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Cook Bay shook his head, “I had supported this war, all the mythical wizards and the entire Wizard Alliance supported this war; it was our blind confidence. We thought we’ve the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall, Floating-Space City, a strong wizard system and formidable combat potential. We thought we had an absolute advantage in the Astral World as compared to the Abyss World, but…”

Cook Bay shook his head, “I’m responsible for the restoration of the Eternal Floating-Space City, although we’ve failed, but fortunately, our foundation in Starsoul World is still there. Moreover, you’re still with us, as long as you’re here, the Eternal Floating-Space City is here, our Wizard Alliance will continue to be the most powerful force.”

Cook Bay turned and walked away, there was only Catherine, the master of the tower, standing in the hall.

Tens of thousands of elite alchemy warlocks were urgently repairing the Eternal Floating-Space City, but it was impossible to restore it overnight or within a short span; the Eternal Floating-Space City was extremely complex as it was one of the unmatchable work in alchemy.

Tens of millions of defeated troops rode on military trains through the portal, they had returned to Starsoul World, while other senior professionals remained in the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall.

Numerous professionals dressed in soldiers’ uniform sat on the train, they were discouraged, all races were present, and that was the uniqueness of the Wizard Alliance, a multi-ethnic civilization. There weren’t many who were injured. In Astral World, they were either dead or uninjured; there were only a pathetic handful that were wounded yet survived.

But the scar left by that war was simply irreparable, the scene of the destruction of various mighty sky fortresses and mobile strongholds, as if they were garbage, were deeply imprinted in their memory, the terrible devils and the gigantic Demon Lords and devil monarchs who were as huge as the stars or the mountains, gave them nightmares.

Catherine, the master of the tower, recovered from her grief and started pondering about their future; she commanded the entire Wizard Alliance and the high ranking officials of the tower. She dealt with matters relating to the post war. Just then, the depths of the distant Astral World had changed again.

Several famous mythical wizards and the upper echelons of the Wizard’s Parliament, once again came over to the tower, through the projection of the Astral World telescope, they saw the actual scenario of the battlefield in Astral World.

“There’s another portal which is opened?” Adriana, the master of the Ocean Song Floating-Space Tower, even if she wasn’t proficient in space, she could figure out the change in the depths of Astral World.

“No, this isn’t a portal, this is a Level Eight Space Projection Spell, this is a divine fluctuation; the Divine Kingdom has arrived.” In a glance, Cook Bay knew that the fluctuation was different from the fluctuation of the portal; he had figured out the one who had performed the Space Projection Divine Spell.

“What? Are they going to join the war too?” A large number of Mythical Arcanists and high ranking officials of the parliament finally spoke and broke the silence.

“The gods have declared war with the abyss.” Many had sparkles in their eyes, as if they had seen an opportunity out of it.

————————————————————————————

In the dark and gloomy Astral World, there were a lot of garbage floating all around; it was left behind from the three years of battle between the Wizard Alliance and the Abyss. The garbage seemed to be attracted to the Fourth World and was revolving around the orbit of the Fourth World.

At the moment, on top of the huge land of garbage, in the void, there was a huge projection.

It was an illusory shadow, but it was unbelievable humongous.

The illusion of the humongous Silver Star appeared a little by a little, and with the convergence of its power, the original illusory shadow gradually transformed into a substantial being.

The silver pattern on it slowly appeared and the silver brilliance radiated; it contained divine power and was glistening.

Following which, one, two, three, four, a total of five stars of the Divine Kingdoms, which came from the distant Divine World, the Maria’s World, were projected over; from merely an illusion, it gradually transformed into substantial being and appeared in the depths of Astral World.

Each Divine Kingdoms suddenly bloomed into a dazzling radiance, it dispelled all the darkness, and the devils which were originally surrounding the new world were engulfed by the divine brilliance and dissipated as smoke.

Among the radiance, the five Divine Kingdoms were revealed, and in each of them, there was a Divine Shadow which sat on top of their divine throne as they looked down on everything in the world.

Around them, groups of hundreds of millions of devil enveloped them, but in that moment, all the devils, which were under the pressure of the True Gods, fled wildly. Under the five Divine Kingdoms, the massive quantity of devils seemed to be a ridiculous noun.

“True God? Five True Gods?” The Mother of Sinister Spider, her huge body had reached dozens of kilometers, was leading a devil army. They stood right in front of the Divine Kingdoms, and she let out a startling roar.

When the gaze of the five True Gods was projected onto its body, the Mother of Sinister Spider was suppressed and for a second, she couldn’t even move; the five True Gods had joined forces to emit the realm of the True Gods and had targeted it.

“God said, evil will eventually vanish!” Hodap, the Lord of Light, reached out his hand and pointed to the devil’s nest and the Mother of Sinister Spider.
