Chapter 1220: Destruction Descend
Nightmare Wilderness.
The thick clouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart, projecting b.l.o.o.d.y light beams. On the huge plain, the original hills and jungles had all turned into scorched earth flowing with lava.
There were countless red crystal flowers floating in the torrent of lava. Countless blood-red cl.u.s.ters stood upright.
If one looked carefully, one could see that there were ‘coc.o.o.ns’ which were wrapped with something. In the center of the densest sea of ‘coc.o.o.ns’, 2 hazy figures were surrounded. One could faintly see the hideous figures, but they were temporarily blurred and unclear.
The lava had already covered the entire Nightmare Wilderness, and it was still expanding toward the sea. When submerged in the water, it quickly cooled and solidified, while the lava behind continued to cover and spread endlessly.
Wherever it pa.s.sed, the sea water boiled and tumbled while the creatures in the sea were either dead or mutated. Those who survived, even a docile little fish, showed their bloodthirsty fangs.
The endless lava quickly extended toward the sea like an infinite bridge.
The Nightmare Wilderness, which had been turned into scorched earth, revealed the sound of expanding and cracking as if something had broken out of the coc.o.o.n.
Golden Estate.
The tense state between the 2 coalition armies had completely calmed down. The emergence of the Demon Realm’s 3 empresses and the reveal of the ident.i.ty of ‘Aguile’ were like shocking news. Before the 2 armies had digested the ma.s.sive information contained in it, Chen Rui’s battle with the 3 archangels shocked the audience.
Such strength and that special ident.i.ty were enough to shock everyone in the 2 worlds.
The new prophet from the elf tribe appeared with what seemed to be a very important message, causing the strongest 3 archangels to stop fighting.
“The powerful person who can make Alucier fall may really be that kind of existence.” Although Raphael had stopped, he still expressed doubts about Kilanya’s words, “But, are you really sure that ‘destruction’ has descended to the main plane? You know, now that the ‘door’ has just opened. Those cursed existences can’t break through the enchantment that contains authority power!”
“I don’t know why too.” Kilanya really didn’t know about it, let alone that some kind of ‘advancement’ was actually manipulated by Alucier, “I just conveyed the consciousness pa.s.sed on by my father. I admit that my ability and experience are very shallow, so you can question me, but you cannot question my father.”
“Hmph! How do I know if it’s…”
“Okay, Raphael.” Before Raphael finished speaking, he was interrupted by Michael, “Alucier’s ability is unquestionable. More importantly, he has no motive to lie about this. During this time, I believe that you also have a faint feeling of uneasiness in your mind like me. I thought it was the battle with ‘Arthur’ before, but now it seems that it is not because of this battle, but the Abyss!”
Gabriel also nodded. It was only then that Chen Rui realized that he was not the only one who was uneasy.
Michael continued, “The question is, where is the place where the Abyss descended? Is it the Demon Realm, or the human world?”
Kilanya shook her head, “I don’t know. I haven’t fully digested the inheritance power of ‘prophecy’ yet, so I can’t activate the talent of foresight.”
“It’s a place where lava is flowing everywhere, and the ground is trembling.” Chen Rui’s words caught the attention of Michael and others, “By the way, the smoke is very thick. It is probably a volcanic eruption.”
Raphael frowned, “How do you know?”
“Because of the Tree of Nature.” Chen Rui glanced at Raphael lightly, “I still have another ident.i.ty, the guardian of the Tree of Nature, the Hero King of the elf tribe. You can also call me Your Highness Elf King.”
The corners of Raphael’s eyes twitched: No wonder this guy partic.i.p.ated in the New Moon Festival of the elf tribe. It turned out that he is actually the Elf King. I was so ignorant that I thought he mixed in with tricks.
In fact, Chen Rui really cheated his way in, but it was meaningless to explain this. Anyway, it was enough to make Raphael’s mind restless.
“I don’t know what consciousness Kilanya received. It was the Tree of Nature that automatically transmitted that scene to me. Alucier, falling into the hands of Bl…Quilliana. I still remember that there were endless clouds of thick smoke and b.l.o.o.d.y clouds in the sky. In the center of the b.l.o.o.d.y clouds is a diamond-shaped thing, which seems to be a closed ‘eye’.”
Hearing the word ‘eye’, the 3 archangels startled at the same time. Michael clenched his fists, “Is that ‘eye’… open?”
“I can’t see it clearly. I just feel like a lot of b.l.o.o.d.y light beams were projected, then the images disappeared completely.” Chen Rui shook his head, “Anyway, the Abyss has come, so the war between the 2 realms has lost its meaning. The only thing we can do now is to join forces to resist this common enemy and crush them immediately while the power of the Abyss has just descended!”
According to the information left over from the ancient alchemy civilization, the alchemy plane did not pay enough attention to the Abyss at the beginning, so they were still having wars among their people. By the time they noticed the terrifyingness of the Abyss, it was too late. As a result, the entire plane was destroyed.
The 3 archangels quickly exchanged opinions with gaze and secret language. Finally, Michael nodded and gave an affirmative answer, “Actually, we also signed the corresponding terms of the contract last time. In that case, before the Abyss is expelled, we can let go of past grievances and form a temporary alliance!”
Iron Gate Empire.
Although the former Iron Gate Empire was considered a giant, it was now 1 of the most remote va.s.sal states of the Blue Glory Empire.
The Iron Gate Empire used to be the strongest barrier against the orc forces. It had the strongest Thunderwall Fortress. However, with the rapid decline of the orc tribe, the fortress also lost its value. Over the years, the Iron Gate Empire had always been the most peaceful existence since being attached to the Blue Glory Empire.
As a king who didn’t want to make progress, Gregory had long been used to being content and enjoying the current state. Anyway, the more he did nothing, the more a.s.sured Her Majesty Empress of the Blue Glory Empire would be, and the more secure his throne would be.
The only unpleasant thing was that when the Holy Church attacked the Nightmare Plains to exterminate the orc tribe a few years ago, the merchant traveling to the Nightmare Wilderness was greatly reduced. This greatly reduced the tax revenue of the Iron Gate Empire. However, even the Blue Glory Empire had to bow its head to a giant inst.i.tution like the Holy Church, let alone the Iron Gate Empire, so Gregory would not have extra thoughts.
Although the current war of the 2 worlds was eye-catching, and the Iron Gate Empire had also sent its own army, the result of the outcome was not within the grasp of His Highness Gregory. The Royal Highness had always believed in the principle that ‘life is short, so enjoy it to the fullest’, so Gregory was still here as always, enjoying a good life in his castle.
Although it was not as good as the material conditions of those big empires, there was no lack of luxury in the palace of the capital city. Gregory was surrounded by a group of half-naked concubines on a soft couch, tasting the wine while looking at the s.e.xy dancers dancing lightly. Gregory already had hundreds of concubines, but according to his standards, it was far from enough— The girl who leads the dance looks good. Her waist is like a water snake, and her appearance is also good. It is her tonight. Oh, also the girl with big b.r.e.a.s.t.s on the far right. With the support of medicine, it should be no problem to have fun together in one night.
Just as Gregory was conceiving the ‘postures’ for the evening, someone rushed to the door of the main hall and shouted, “Your Highness! Emergency!”
Gregory was at the height of his s.e.xual interest. After being startled, he almost became impotent. His desire turned into anger as he shouted, “How dare you! Didn’t I say that no matter what happens, don’t disturb me? Guards! Drag him down! Behead him!”
The imperial guards guarding the gate immediately grabbed the person who came and wanted to take him away. The person shouted, “Your Highness, it’s me, Pancras! There’s something urgent to report!”
“Wait!” Gregory stopped the imperial guards and asked the concubines and the dancing girls to step down. Pancras was his most trusted subordinate. When he was having fun, Pancras solved or suppressed any government affairs. Now even Pancras was here, maybe there was really something urgent.
“Your Highness! War… war is coming!” Pancras was already panting by running in a panic, then just now he narrowly escaped death, so he stammered.
“War is coming?” Gregory frowned, “Who is it? Demons? Impossible, how could it be so fast?”
“Not demons. It seems to be from, from… the Nightmare Wilderness…”
“The orcs of the Nightmare Wilderness have long been razed by the Holy Church. With the Thunderwall Fortress, even the remnants of the orcs should not be able to break through.
“Thunderwall Fortress has fallen!” Pancras said with a sad face. Originally, when Thunderwall Fortress was in emergency, Pancras didn’t take it seriously at all. He just though they made a fuss out of a molehill. Considering the enjoyment of Royal Highness, Pancras didn’t report the matter. Instead, he directly ordered the defending soldiers to stick to defend to the last. Who knew…
“Thunderwall Fortress has been breached?” Gregory was really taken aback. It is the strongest fortress!
“Not only Thunderwall Fortress, but Iron Wheel City and Iron Core City have fallen too!”
“What?” Gregory was furious and kicked Pancras to the ground, “Why didn’t you report it earlier?!”
Pancras wailed, “Your Highness, I just received the news that Thunderwall Fortress was breached, and I’m mobilizing reinforcements, then the intel that of the fall of the 2 cities came.”
Gregory knew that Pancras would not dare to lie about such an important matter, so he took a breath, “So fast! Get Huford to lead the reinforcements immediately!”
“General Huford was dispatched out as reinforcements when the Thunderwall Fortress was captured.” Pancras trembled, “But, according to the intel I just obtained, General Huford and the 20,000 elite infantry have all fallen…”
“How could the orcs be so strong?!” Gregory was astounded. Huford was the strongest general of the Iron Gate Empire, and he was wiped out by the enemy!
“From the intel’s point of view, it’s not the orcs, but another kind of monster that is more terrifying! These monsters will kill all the creatures they encounter. Thunderwall Fortress, Iron Wheel City, and Iron Core City have no survivors! Even none of the scouts who were dispatched didn’t return alive. However, we learned a certain amount of intel from the phone before they were killed by the monsters.”
“Your Highness!” The imperial guard came to report, “General Tutt has an urgent military report.”
“Let him in quickly!” At such a critical time, Gregory naturally didn’t dare to refuse to see him like before.
“Your Highness,” said General Tutt, a burly man, “I just received an emergency military report from the watchtower on the outskirts of the city. There is a large flaming red thing rus.h.i.+ng toward the capital!”
Gregory was taken aback, “Red? What kind of magic? Fire?”
Thinking of what was described in intel, Pancras shuddered and hissed, “No, it’s those monsters who destroy everything! Your Highness! The monsters are coming!”
“What to do?!” Gregory was always an incompetent person, so he was at a loss for a while.
General Tutt said, “Your Highness, the gates must be closed immediately! Send out all troops to prepare for defense! Then call for help from the Blue Glory Empire!”
Outside the Iron Gate King’s capital, countless Abyss creatures rushed forward frantically, like a blood tide of death.
In another place far away, a blue-haired woman in a white robe looked at the distant sky. There was endless hatred in her blood-red right eye, “Accept the descend of destruction, everyone in this world…”
