Chapter 316: The Night of the Holy Coming

After simply resolving this matter, Avis returned to his previous peaceful daily life.

In addition to paying attention to the situation on Bishop Yanile's side every day, he was also waiting for the Duke to finish dealing with the power dragon.

Soon, as the magic dinner of the Pamir College's year-end celebration quietly came to an end, the last tail of this year was about to disappear.

It was less than one magic hour before midnight. After sending Fiona back, Avis returned to his residence and habitually sensed Yanil's movements.

However, as soon as he sensed Yanil's position, he immediately discovered the problem.

Before this, the location of the twisted seed on Yanile's body was always at the border between the two empires of Gloria and Santa Messia, as if waiting for something.

And now, Yanil was suddenly in the vicinity of the ruins in Magna Province.

After thinking about it, Anvis took out the encrypted crystal ball and sent a message to Duke Carrot.

"I suddenly have a feeling that something unexpected may happen in the direction of the meteorite ruins. Please be vigilant!"

After urgently delivering the message, Avis put away the crystal ball again, thought for a while, and decided to take a temporary risk to connect to the seed in Yanil's body.

Now is a very delicate time, the old year is about to end and the new year is about to come.

During this period of transition from the old to the new, the success rate of some special secret rituals will receive an additional bonus, which is something that has been confirmed in mysticism.

Anvis suspected that the ritual on Yanil and the other seven people might not have been completely completed, but was still missing some key activation steps.

If the facts are indeed as he thought, then the most likely time for this activation step is midnight on the New Year.

After making the decision, Avis went straight into a meditative state and began trying to connect to Yanil's perspective through the Seed of Distortion.

Gradually, Avis's consciousness entered a highly concentrated state. Some blurry images began to appear before his eyes.

There were some black figures swaying around, and as time went by, these figures gradually became clearer.

At this time, the surrounding environment is located in a secret room.

The walls are covered with special isolation magic inscriptions to prevent the aura here from leaking out.

There were 7,777 pure white candles placed on the ground, forming a huge holy emblem of light. A huge seven-pointed star pattern composed of white and gold inscription lines was engraved on the ground in the center of the candles.

In the center of the star there was a strange hourglass, with sand emitting a faint white light, and more than half of it had already fallen.

Including Yanil, seven bishops stood at the seven corners of the star, with their heads bowed in silence, as if waiting for something.

On one side of the room, three red-robed archbishops stood calmly, observing the ceremony.

No one spoke, and the air in the room was silent. Countless candles flickered with an unpredictable milky white glow, filling the room with a strange and solemn atmosphere.

The time at this moment is very close to midnight, and the sand in the hourglass is about to run out.

Finally, in Avis's sight, the last grain of white sand leaked out.

At this moment, the flickering milky white candle flames suddenly stopped for a moment.

Then, a bright white light burst out from the star on the ground!

Just like a raging fire igniting dry wood, when the light touched the seven bishops standing in the sharp corners of the star, the endless light suddenly lit up the bodies of the seven bishops, turning them directly into a dazzling mass of light!

Anweisi only felt that the world in front of him turned white in an instant, and then the picture was completely interrupted.

…

.….As

the last second of last year passed, the calendar turned another page. The people of Yar Continent ushered in the New Year's Rebirth Festival.

However, this year's Freshman Day is destined not to be peaceful.

Glorious Calendar Year 2461, New Moon Day, midnight.

Many sensational incidents broke out simultaneously within the Gloria Empire.

In the province of Magna, at the location where the mysterious meteorite ruins fell, a beam of pure white bright light pierced through the night sky and went straight into the ceiling wall in the endless sky.

Professionals within a thousand miles can clearly see this beam of brilliant light that seems like a miracle.

Faint white light spots like fine snow fell from the dark night sky, and ethereal sacred music echoed in all directions, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the music seems to come directly from the mind.

Half a magic hour after the beam of light descended, the Gloria Empire announced that it had entered a second-level combat readiness state.

Because the characteristics of this incident were too obvious, Gloria III publicly issued a statement demanding that the Holy Light Church give an explanation for the previous indiscriminate attack.

Soon, the Saint Messiah Empire also responded to this matter.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In this response, the current Pope of the Holy See, Saint Messiah III, described the incident as a "regrettable accident" and did not mention any explanation for the matter.

In response to the Vatican's perfunctory attitude, Gloria III only made one response, sending a number of ninth-level and ninth-level extreme professionals to openly go to the border between the two countries.

The Holy Light Church was not to be outdone and also dispatched four ninth-level red-robed archbishops and five ninth-level judgement knights to the border to confront the ninth-level professionals of the Empire.

The situation between the two empires suddenly became extremely tense, and it seemed that a devastating war would break out at any time.

In this situation where the energies of the two empires are temporarily entangled with each other, a "civilian" underground resistance organization [Spark] suddenly emerged and announced its existence to the entire empire in a high-profile manner.

They quickly captured two super-large main cities, Yueying City and Luolong City, with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands, located in Frey Province, close to the border with Karlas Province.

The original city lord, who was a seventh-level professional, was directly captured by the people of the [Spark] organization.

Although it was anticipated that the Empire would not be able to react in time and would not have time to send people to deal with them immediately due to the deliberate and unintentional actions.

But to be honest, they were able to capture two cities in succession at an average speed of less than half a magic hour, which even shocked the leader of the Spark Organization and made him suspect that there was something fishy going on.

However, when the rebels took over the city and inspected the defense array, they discovered it.

The city's original magic defense array had many inscription lines made of aged materials, and it was already at its limit to be able to maintain normal operation, and it was simply unable to cope with fierce battles.

As for where the maintenance fee that was supposed to be used to maintain the defense array went, those who understand will understand.

After all, even a city defense officer has to spend money when he needs training resources.

Then it would be reasonable to borrow some city defense funds, right? You said that without funds for maintenance, the defense system would age quickly? Anyway, there would be no wars in the empire, and if we only had to deal with the beast tides every year, as long as the defense array still looked bright, wouldn't it be enough?
