Chapter 602: 600: The War of Gods Begins!
In the Silvertop Star Realm Floating City, in the Mysterious Hall,
The huge round table had been moved away, and the seats reserved for the thirteen great arcanists had also disappeared, so that the entire hall seemed empty and vast.
The twelve great arcanists each opened a portal and appeared directly in the center of the hall. Under their feet, a complex twelve-pointed star formation appeared, and each person stood in a specific position.
They were not motionless, but held their staffs high in their hands, chanting in unison and marching in strange steps.
Either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.
As they moved, the twelve-pointed star array under their feet also moved.
It is hard to tell whether the magic circle moves because people move, or people move because the magic circle moves.
But there was no doubt that as they moved, vast magical power gathered, surged, and poured into their feet along the staff.
The location of the Hall of Mystery was not chosen at random. Below it was the core of the Silver Dome.
The twelve-pointed star array was locked onto a large alchemical artifact similar to a sundial. It had six layers inside and was made mainly of refined gold, with magic patterns engraved on it.
In the center of it, there was a sphere the size of a human head, with sharp edges and corners, and emitting a crimson glow.
Looking closely, it was not in contact with the alchemical creation, but was suspended in mid-air, emitting rich energy fluctuations.
Just like breathing, the energy transmitted between flashing red lights is enough to meet the normal consumption of the Silver Top.
This is the ultimate creation of the Netheril civilization, the ultimate treasure of magic, and the source of energy for the floating city in the astral realm - the Core of Netheril.
The main material used in its production is known as the "ashes of the world". To put it simply, it is the tiny amount of matter left after the main material plane sinks and is destroyed.
Often, it is only produced in the depths of the abyss, on a plane that is about to collapse and disintegrate.
This is also the main reason why the number of floating cities in the astral realm of Netheril is extremely limited.
At this moment, stimulated by the magic of the twelve great arcanists, the corona-like alchemical creation began to move rapidly, spinning at high speed, and the core of Naiser was stimulated to emit more red light.
The energy surged like a volcanic eruption, and was absorbed by the twelve-pointed star and poured into the designated channel.
The so-called 'established channel' is actually a network similar to blood vessels, surging like a living thing, and inlaid with countless migrating magic patterns.
It spreads to the entire floating city with the core of Naiser as the center, and is divided into different levels of coarseness and fineness, and is transported with the Mage Tower as the node.
When the energy was flowing smoothly, it was nothing, but now, the surging magic power even made the 'blood vessels' swell to the extreme.
Every fiber was stretched tight, and the magic patterns quickly flowed and repaired under the stimulation.
At this moment, the Mage Tower, which served as a node, showed a strange phenomenon. Under the stimulation of massive magic energy, all the clinging magic patterns were lit up, detached, and flew around. The light it emitted covered an area of 100 meters.
At this moment, all the Netherese people active in the floating city were stunned.
They were silent for only a moment before they realized what this meant. Regardless of their status or strength, they all quickly took action.
Those ordinary people were the most terrified!
They dropped their work without hesitation and ran desperately towards the shelter.
Going down the spiral staircase into the dimly lit basement, there are rows of seats.
They nervously found an empty seat, sat down, fastened their seat belts around themselves, and pulled them tight.
Then, they could only wait there for fate to decide.
Even though this is a floating city, the highest masterpiece of the Netheril civilization, the majority of the people here are still ordinary people.
As for the arcanists, they were relatively calm.
They had obviously received orders, but they didn't know the exact time, so they acted just as quickly.
Whether it was a flying magic carpet, teleportation magic, or various props, they returned to their own wizard tower in the way of arcane wizards.
Then, quickly pass the test and go to your post immediately.
Some arcanists took over the control of part of the magic runes, and when needed, they became part of a super-large magic.
Some arcanists began to seal off various laboratories and use special magic to stabilize the space to ensure that it would not be damaged even under severe turbulence.
Some arcanists opened their combat chambers and used magic links and mental projections to enter specific magical war weapons.
In those warehouses, steel golems, self-propelled artillery turrets, and remote-controlled aircraft flashed red and green lights one after another.
Of course, this is the Arcanist's way of fighting.
Although the Nathriel is an arcane civilization and the status of arcanists is extremely high, they have not forgotten their own positioning and pursuits.
They did not give up on training warriors.
Netheril also has a legacy of fighting spirit, and there are even large arenas here. Even if you cannot become an arcanist, you can still become a powerful warrior.
The difference is that the arcanists of Netheril tried to use magic to enhance the combat effectiveness of their warriors.
For example, a full set of standard magic pattern armor can achieve the integration of fighting spirit and magic power, and realize the ultimate enhancement of both offense and defense.
The most successful example of this type is the perfect unity of soldiers and mounts, resulting in the constructed knight.
In a sense, this is another development direction for the Knights, and it is a crushing existence at the same level.
The Construct Knights are also the most common armed unit in the floating city.
Another attempt is the combination of alchemical creation and human body.
For example, the demon's arms, hearts, limbs, etc., after special processing, are implanted into the warrior's body.
This allows the warrior to have greater strength, even becoming half-demonized.
Similarly, it can also be celestial creatures, devils from hell, creatures from purgatory, dragon clan, etc.
Generally speaking, the mortality rate of this combination is very high, but you cannot deny that it is also a breakthrough in the limits of the human body.
If combined with a customized magic pattern structure, it would become an extremely powerful warrior, even having the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.
In the floating city, they are also called colonial warriors.
If the Construct Knights are the low- to mid-range forces of the floating city, then the Colonial Warriors belong to the high- to mid-range of the power system.
These powerful people have a certain status in each wizard tower. Of course, the stability of their colonial equipment also requires careful maintenance by the wizard tower.
At this time, both the Construct Knights and the Colonial Warriors were ready for battle.
Of course, all of this is just to be prepared.
A huge amount of magic power poured into the Mage Tower, and under the distribution of a group of arcane mages, nearly 30% of it surged into the sky.
Covered with complex magic patterns, a semicircular defensive force field appeared in the sky, supporting the sky.
Its smallest structure is the size of a palm, stacked like fish scales. It does not look very solid, but it is a masterpiece of arcane civilization.
It is also because of this special defensive force field, coupled with the floating city's complete ecosystem, that this continent can navigate in the star realm.
Of course, nearly 70% of the magic power flowed into the bottom of the floating city.
There, countless magic patterns lit up, revealing circles.
The small rings are enclosed in large rings, and the large rings are linked together to form an even larger ring...
If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a compound eye overlooking all living things, which makes your scalp tingle.
But in fact, when the magic energy poured in, the floating ring was activated, the surging heat wave spread outward, and a huge thrust was generated in the distorted space.
It was like the Titan raised his hands high, as if to push the floating city out of the Helka plane.
There was a violent tremor, and rumbling sounds were heard everywhere in the floating city, with dust falling.
Even those hiding in the underground shelters let out screams of terror.
It should be said that the victory in the Battle of Shining Stars belongs to the Silvertop, the floating city in the star realm.
Because, for the gods of Helka, not keeping the invaders out would be a huge failure.
Moreover, the tentacles of the Netheril civilization extended into the plane, and with a very small number of manpower and outdated technology, they set off a bloody storm, causing nearly 20 million casualties.
Moreover, they actually changed the direction of development of the Helka plane.
However, the Silvertop was not unscathed either.
Putting aside other things, the most important point is that the damage to the Naiser Core caused the Silvertop to be stuck on the plane barrier.
This is like being stuck in the crack of a door, unable to move forward or backward!
The Arcane Council's Plan C is invincible. To put it simply, it means breaking free from restrictions and immersing oneself in the astral realm.
By then, even if a fight really broke out, they would be able to advance or retreat, and would have a huge advantage.
This is also the main reason why the sun god is eager to launch a war between gods.
If the Silvertop really were to flee to the star realm, they would be in a passive position.
So, as the power was growing stronger and stronger and the floating city was about to break free, the sun's rays suddenly became scorching and violent in the endless sky.
It was like early spring turning into midsummer, the scorching sun distorted the space and even set everything on fire.
Even in the floating city, countless people looked up, and then their pupils contracted violently.
Because they saw that the sun seemed to be approaching rapidly, until their vision was filled with light and a tall figure filled the sky and the earth.
He was wearing golden armor and radiating the sun's divine light. His features could not be seen clearly, and he was sitting on a sun chariot.
The nine-headed divine horse pulled, and with the sound of "clattering" of chains, it turned and whizzed past.
Behind the carriage, dozens of chains were stretched straight, pulling at a scorching sun.
The corona spreading from the sun alone, like a physical halo, burned the space, and wherever it passed, it caused unrest in the starry sky.
But this person did not rush to attack. Instead, he drove the sun chariot and roared past, as if patrolling the sky, bringing endless light and heat to the Silver Dome.
Without sunlight, plants cannot grow. However, when the sun is too close to you, the scorching light and heat can kill everything.
Even with a super-large protective force field and a complete ecological circulation system, after layers of filtering, the trees are still withered, the grass is curled up, the beasts are whimpering, and the rivers are evaporating and drying up.
Even powerful arcanists looked at the terrifying sun chariot with awe.
However, the Sun God seemed to appreciate their fear and drove his chariot back and forth, inspecting several times, as if looking for a weakness.
It seems to be accelerating!
That’s right, it’s accelerating!
Divine creations like the Sun Chariot originated from mortals' simplest beliefs and expectations of the world.
After discovering that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, they created a myth that the great sun god would drive the sun chariot from east to west during the day, spreading light to the earth.
Over time, the Sun God came into possession of this divine creation!
However, the carriage carrying the sun cannot move fast after all, and it needs to increase its speed little by little by running back and forth.
Until one moment, he suddenly pulled the rope, causing the nine divine horses to raise their front hooves as if frightened and suddenly change direction.
Then, the big sun seemed to be thrown out.
With the sound of "bang bang bang bang", the chains automatically collapsed, causing the sun to crash into the earth with terrifying kinetic energy.
This is not a combat skill, nor is it a technique for using divine power, nor is it the application of rules!
This is the real Great Sun Fall!!!
No skills, just brute force!
This attack caused not only ordinary arcanists but even the twelve great arcanists in the Hall of Mysteries to twitch their lips.
However, their reaction was also extremely fast.
The spells were changed almost at the same time. Three great arcanists raised their wands and pointed, and a part of the magic patterns in the sky suddenly became brighter.
The transmission outside was that the wizard tower in the area where the sun fell suddenly flashed with light, and the fish-scale defense field in the sky became clearer, thicker, and stronger.
Then, it suddenly stretched out and stretched out, actively blocking the falling sun.
There was a cracking sound, and right where the sun and the defense field came into contact, the cracks spread like wildfire.
The super-large defensive force field was also pressed down.
However, as mountains and seas of magical energy poured in, the rotating magic patterns filled the cracks and quickly healed them.
At the same time, the surrounding mage towers shook, and the huge fish-scale force field tightened, like a pulled fishing net, as if to block the falling sun.
It's difficult, but you can't deny that the sun's fall is slowing down.
Very slowly, but it is indeed slowing down!
You have to admit that this super-large defensive force field covering the entire floating city is excellent.
If it were an ordinary defensive force field, it would have collapsed long ago, but it relied on its unique structure to reduce the impact force layer by layer, and could even accumulate and rebound to a certain extent.
That is to say, when facing a terrifying existence like the Falling Sun, ordinary artillery attacks can even directly remove its power and prevent it from causing effective damage.
But even so, the kinetic energy that the Sun God spent time and energy to accumulate for the falling sun is quite terrifying.
After the fish-scale defensive force field was stretched to its limit, it could no longer support itself and was about to break.
A big sun is about to hit the earth!
It is conceivable how terrifying it would be if this attack were carried out.
But the remaining nine great arcanists also completed the pre-casting of the spell, and a magic tower flew up directly.
At its top, a huge crystal appeared.
It is the perfect creation of arcane magic and divine power, a perfect crystal of magic produced through thousands of processes.
With it as the core, the spiritual power entangles with the magic power to form a resonance, and then amplifies the output of energy.
Thus, a very destructive blue-white ultra-high energy laser was brewing.
This is one of the most dangerous attack methods of the Star Realm Floating City, Apocalypse!
As the perfect magic crystal moved, it aimed at the falling sun as if calibrated.
Then, the laser was fired, the sun was pierced, and time and space seemed to freeze, but the next second, a violent explosion occurred.
A mushroom cloud rose up and rushed towards the star realm, at least tens of thousands of meters high. Under the spreading shock wave, the fish-scale defense force field seemed to be fully activated and rhythmically rhythmically, thus dispersing the force.
But even so, the entire floating city suddenly sank under the huge impact!
It was like a body that was about to free itself from the gap, but was stuck even tighter.
But that’s not the worst!
The worst thing was that the falling sun disintegrated, and countless fireballs scattered and hit other places.
The defensive force field of the astral floating city is magical, but it also has to follow some basic rules.
For example, when it comes to energy support, other places will become weak, and the collapsing fireballs will land in hundreds of places in an instant, breaking through the local defense.
So, just like a dog had bitten it, many defense loopholes appeared here and there.
In the mage towers, the arcanists who were ready to go immediately took action.
One after another, steel golems appeared on the earth. They were controlled to put out fires or to build isolation zones.
There were also construct knights, colonial warriors, and arcane legions casting magic. In short, they were all trying to extinguish the flames and repair the barrier as quickly as possible.
Of course, the indigenous gods of Helka would never miss such a good opportunity.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, obscuring the huge mushroom cloud. A terrifying creature that looked like a long snake with six pairs of wings appeared out of thin air.
This one is the most famous indigenous god in the New World, Quetzalcoatl!
In fact, there are human beings in the New World as well. Human beings are even the home turf, and Quetzalcoatl is the most respected god among the human beings here.
It can be said that, in a sense, He is a being similar to the sun god, almost unique.
It’s a pity that he didn’t have the experience of fighting against the Sun God. After the Age of Discovery and the migration of hundreds of tribes, other gods also went to the New World, which also compressed his space for belief.
However, you cannot deny His power.
His body is so big that it seems to cover the entire continent.
He let out a long hiss, then wandered around in a circle, his six pairs of wings cutting through the air.
Then, in the void, darkness emerged, the sky was filled with stars, and starlight fell.
In the starlight, countless legions of petitioners and angels stepped out.
They were dressed in armor, fully armed, singing war songs praising God, showing extremely high morale.
Of course, they also divided into different camps.
There are angels emitting holy light, and they are basically all under the command of the sun god.
There are rippling sea waves, with a mermaid-like appearance and a trident in hand, which means it is under the command of the ocean gods.
Some look like wild beasts, standing up, with a cruel and violent aura, as if they are ready to rush out at any time and tear the enemy into pieces.
This is the Behemoth orc god.
And there was a lady, as perfect and quiet as the eternal night, holding a longbow and casting a glance.
All of his subordinates are dressed like elves, with slender bodies and pointed ears. They are arranged in neat formations and like to ride elks and unicorns as mounts.
This is under the command of the elven gods.
This Quetzalcoatl is truly amazing. After cutting through space, he accurately connected to the kingdom of the Helka gods.
And when these legions of petitioners walked out one by one, the number of divine war legions in the sky increased, almost so dense that they were impossible to count.
At this moment, in the sky, where the most dazzling light is, the Sun God stands proudly in the void, holding the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, his divine power is vast and boundless.
He uttered a voice like thunder: "In the name of the Helka gods, the war of gods begins!"
"This battle will not end until one dies!"
