Chapter 613: God's Catastrophe
According to the legends of the multiverse, God was not what he is now a long time ago.
At that time, they were naturally powerful and more unscrupulous.
At that time, they were not completely tied to faith, and the constraints of their priesthood were even smaller.
At that time, even when they were irritable and angry, they would actively destroy the main material plane just to taste the sweetness of the origin after destruction.
Most of the layers of the Abyss were accumulated during that period.
Ancient Evils are also a product of that period.
As for the creatures in the plane?
They are but dust, and cannot enter their eyes at all.
There is no doubt that this almost unrestrained destruction has caused great damage to the multiverse, so much so that the decline of the entire multiverse is accelerating.
So much so that even the God Among Gods, Io, couldn't sit still anymore.
He used the theft of the Tablet of Destiny as an excuse to use supreme means to demote all the gods to their respective main material planes and cut off their connection with the kingdom of God.
From then on, all gods had to walk in the mortal world as saints, and thus a war broke out that affected the entire multiverse.
The Saints are still extremely powerful, standing at the pinnacle of the multiverse, but they have lost their immortal essence.
In other words, they can be killed!
As a result, the conflicts between saints broke out completely, and the accumulated grievances led them to fight to the death.
Of course, saints will also kill offending mortals.
When mortal heroes gather together, they will also try to accomplish the feat of killing gods.
This period was called the 'Year of Troubles', and this war was called the War of the Saints.
Also known as: Divine Catastrophe!
Why is it described as a "catastrophe"?
That’s because there really were gods who completely perished in this turmoil.
For example, Bane, the god of tyranny, a god of great power, died at the hands of Torm, the god of justice, a god of weak power whom he had never even glanced at before.
The two fought a life-and-death battle between saints, and in the end, both died.
The difference is that Torm has a good character and has a lot of friends among the lawful gods. After the War of the Saints, he was successfully resurrected.
As for Bane, the god of tyranny, he is dead and no one will miss this cruel god, including his believers.
For example, Baal, the god of murder, was killed by the mortal hero Cyric with the God-killing Sword.
It was this one who gave Io the Tablet of Fate, thus ending the Time of Troubles.
He himself accomplished the feat of a mortal ascending to godhood, and even gathered the priesthoods of Bane, the god of tyranny, Baal, the god of murder, and Melkor, the god of the dead, becoming the ruler of the underworld and the extremely powerful god of death.
Later, Baal attempted to resurrect and have his descendants kill each other in order to gather divinity, but unfortunately, he failed.
As for Melkor, the god of the dead, he was also quite miserable. His remaining divine power was sealed in the artifact Crown of Horns.
In addition, there was the dark goddess Shar, who took advantage of the chaos to devour the underworld god Ibrande and the thief prince Musk.
In order to consolidate her faith, the Spider Queen Rose killed the drow demigod Sinzerena.
Mystra, the master of the magic net, fell directly because of the magic runaway and the drag of the magic net.
When the second generation of the Goddess of Magic came to power after being deified again, she was still named 'Mystra', but it was said that she was no longer the same one as before.
There was also the mortal wizard Midnight, who successfully completed the apotheosis ceremony and became Azuth, the god of wizards.
The above is the recorded secret history of the Netheril civilization.
Outside of Netheril, countless gods from various prime material planes perished in the turbulent years!
The turbulent years were also a watershed in the history of the gods!
Since then, the iron law of the immortality of gods has been broken, and mortals have become gods and killed gods in every main material plane.
It's difficult, but not impossible!
It was also from that time that gods were bound by their believers, and the amount of faith determined the strength of their power.
At this point, the gods and the main material plane were bound together, filling the gaps in the rules and becoming a major boost to the development of the multiverse.
The development of the Netheril civilization has reached the stage of the Astral Crusade, so the gods are their main research objects.
Drawing inspiration from history is also something that every archmage must do.
The ultimate arcane magic [Divine Cataclysm] is the crystallization of the wisdom of generations of great arcanists in the Nethereal, and is an imitation of the behavior of Io, the God of Gods.
They used the huge magical power of the Core of Nesser as a fulcrum to activate the fragments of the Tablet of Destiny, causing turbulence in the origin of the plane, thus forming temporary elemental turbulence and blockade.
Although the principles of the methods used by God Above God Io are definitely different, the effects are similar.
The result was that the kingdom of God was closed, forcing the gods to descend in their true form and walk the mortal world.
You may ask, what is the use of this ultimate magic?
Can't you kill the gods directly?
Indeed not!
However, when the gods lost their immortality, their immortal essence, and the power to create clones and fight...
They, too, will be afraid!!!
…
On the floating continent, the war between gods and demons has ended.
To be precise, whether it is the indigenous god Helka, the remnants of the Seven Gods, the King of the Abyss, or the Devil Lord...
They all came as incarnations, and were completely dissipated under the impact of the ultimate arcane [Divine Catastrophe].
Eighteen stars fell and landed in various places on the Helka plane. They were true gods in the form of saints.
They almost unanimously chose to hide and disappear from everyone's sight.
In this situation, even the most devout believers would not dare to believe it.
Because, without the discernment of faith, they are also afraid of the conspiracies and schemes of ambitious people.
After all, killing gods is the most convenient way to become a god.
And in the astral chaos outside the main plane, a demon lord showed up.
His face was filled with resentment, anger, and bitterness, but he still set up the summoning array at the fastest speed.
Then, the burning fire of hell ignited Himself, and the pain from His soul and body made Him howl miserably.
Until it was burned out, the void opened up and one of the eight demon generals of hell, the hell demon Balzefen, stepped out.
The waves of [Divine Catastrophe] spread outward like ripples, almost hitting His face.
His expression twisted for a moment, and he quickly stepped back, keeping a safe distance.
However, when he lowered his head and looked at the huge plane right in front of him, his expression was extremely strange.
It was clearly fear, yet also immense greed!
The Kings of the Abyss and the Demon Lords treat the main material plane as a copy.
Resources, population, souls, all are what they need.
In the past, they were protected by the indigenous gods and could not do anything big. If they behaved a little too radically, the indigenous gods would fight them to the death.
But now, the Pit Demon Balzefen has seen an opportunity.
When the power of the ultimate arcane [Divine Catastrophe] dissipates, and the gods of Helka have not yet returned to their positions, the protective power of the plane will be empty, which is when the entire Helka is at its weakest.
That's the best opportunity.
For this purpose, He even did not hesitate to sacrifice the life of a demon lord and came again as quickly as possible.
However, He knew clearly that he had only taken the lead, and there would definitely be other great beings coming later.
Sure enough, not long after, a crystal of divine power exploded in the void, turning into a torrent of magma, impacting the void.
In the molten space, a magma sword slashed through, tearing open a crack in the space, and the Balor Fire Demon King Kadum barely managed to get out.
When he saw the Hell Demon Baalzefen, he was obviously surprised, but did not attack.
The two sides looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. They each took one side and waited silently.
The benefits of a prime material plane are great enough, so they don't need to fight for it.
This is the second great being to arrive, but obviously, it will not be the last.
On the floating continent, all the gods and demons have dispersed, but that doesn't mean the war is over.
The demigod angels, legendary heroes, and legions of petitioners brought by the indigenous gods of Helka still exist.
However, the kingdom of God was closed, and the sacred bonfire no longer had any function of teleportation, so they could not return to the reincarnation pool.
At this moment, if you die in battle, you will really die!
Most importantly, they could no longer contact their God, and no matter how devoutly they prayed, they received no response.
This makes them anxious!
Fortunately, this is the floating continent, the territory of Netheril, surrounded by enemies, and the battle never stops.
The huge external pressure kept them united, and with the complete command system, they were able to barely maintain it.
What they are doing now is to establish a position at the location of the previous sacred bonfire, then withdraw their troops and enter a defensive posture.
As for the Arcane Council, although they were also organizing attacks, they were not feeling well themselves!
Although they used an ultimate arcane spell to turn the situation around, they faced many problems.
For example, the huge amount of magic energy consumed by the Ultimate Arcane caused the Core of Naiser to enter a period of rest and recovery. It would take time to recover again.
For example, this battle between gods and demons was so fierce that the floating city had to bear all the damage and aftermath.
Although the core is not damaged, it is no exaggeration to say that it looks like a doomsday ruin.
As a result, tens of thousands of arcanists were killed in the battle, and even more were the Construct Knights and Colonial Warriors.
As for ordinary Netherese, it is impossible to count the exact number, but it is at least over one million.
The Arcane Council had to clean up the mess left behind, and several great arcanists who were good at handling complicated affairs were almost having their hair pulled out.
What’s even more infuriating is that not only do they have to deal with the indigenous gods’ divine war army, but they also have to face the army of demons and devils.
These demons and devils came with the King of the Abyss and the Lord of Hell, and originally helped Nesriel fight.
But when the King of the Abyss and the Lord of Hell left, they lost their restraints, let themselves go, and burned, killed, and looted everywhere.
Their behavior was even crazier and more unscrupulous than that of the God War Legion.
The great arcanists had to direct their limited forces against these demons and devils, which made them very angry!
It is worth mentioning that demons and devils present two different kinds of chaos.
Without the suppression of the king, the demon army exploded and fled everywhere like a defeated army.
The policy they implemented was to burn everything, kill everything, and rob everything. If they encountered a strong enemy, they would scatter and split into smaller teams.
They cause a lot of damage, but are not very dangerous.
But the Devil's Legion is different.
They established strongholds, attacked cities, occupied arcane towers and cities, captured Netherese, contaminated them with the power of Hell, and cultivated devil worshippers.
They ruled with oppression, forcing their subjects to work for them, and built enormous altars in an attempt to communicate with the Lord of Hell.
At this stage, they are still gathering in local areas and the damage they cause is not great, but if they are allowed to develop, it will definitely be a situation that the Arcane Conference is unwilling to face.
The above is what the Arcane Council has to deal with, and it is definitely not good.
So even though battles are still breaking out across the entire floating continent, with high intensity and frequency, it is clear that it has entered a relatively stable period of rest.
But everyone knows that this rest period will never last long.
…
at this time,
Flower Collar, Lion Manor, 2nd Floor,
Luo Yi looked through the information in his hand, and with the help of Deep Blue's "deduction module", he had reviewed it dozens or even hundreds of times.
However, the more he reviewed it, the more complicated his expression became.
The information he had was relatively comprehensive, including observations from the Magic Eye Network and sharing from the Church of the Sun God. He basically pieced together the entire process of the war between gods.
Then he discovered that in this battle, both sides made almost no mistakes.
The performance of the Sun God can definitely be described as decisive and ruthless.
He decisively united all the indigenous gods, decisively started the decisive battle, decisively launched a charge when he was about to fall into a desperate situation, and used self-destruction to take away the enemy.
Most importantly, He sent down a second incarnation, demonstrating His determination to never give up until His goal was achieved.
Even if Luo Yi was in His position, he couldn't do better than Him.
Looking at the Arcane Council, they summoned the Seven Gods, the Abyss Lords, and the Hell Lords from an absolutely disadvantageous position...
They mobilized all the forces they could, and at the last moment, used an ultimate arcane spell to turn the tide.
They also took micro-manipulation to the extreme and demonstrated the strength of the pinnacle of magical civilization, even when facing gods and demons, they were not at all inferior.
But it was precisely because they were all right that such a grand war of gods unfolded before Luo Yi.
Even the information gained from text and pictures made Luo Yi feel suffocated.
At this time, the ferocious head of the ancient red dragon Virgil appeared.
He stared at Luo Yi and asked, "You've seen it so many times, how can you still see the flowers?"
Luo Yi finally looked away, closed his eyes slightly, and rubbed his brows tiredly: "I can't find any fault with them, so if I were either of them, the result would not be better.
This conclusion makes me a little depressed.”
“It’s okay to review, but there’s no need to dwell on it too much.
You are not the gods of Helka, nor are you the archarcanists of Netheril... you are you!
You are the Holy Dragon Knight Loy Raymond, the master of the Flower Territory, and the ruler of the Iron Torrent."
"If you join the war, you have to fight it your way. Just observe their war style and don't take it too seriously."
Luo Yi nodded slowly, then shook his head, and said with a smile: "I understand the logic, but I am a little worried about the gains and losses. After all, this battle is of great significance and determines the safety of our homeland."
"So what are you going to do? Or rather, are you going to take action in this war? When are you going to take action?"
“As I said before, protecting our homeland is everyone’s responsibility.
But the time is not yet ripe. Wait, wait, my abyssal strategy is not yet complete, and there are still five demon lords left."
Luo Yi let out a long breath: "No matter what, I must become the King of the Abyss first!"
…
Luo Yi, after all, wants to buy more time.
Because, with every extra day, Flower Territory can produce more bullets, more tanks, more fighter jets, and more missiles!
He can also accumulate more strength.
But fate, after all, is not subject to his will.
Not long after that, in the Papal State, an old holy warrior slowly walked towards the most magnificent temple.
The moment He made up His mind, He began to emit brilliant light, like the rising sun.
At this moment, all of Helka's followers knew that their god was walking on earth.
And with the Sun God's active appearance, the war in the floating city once again entered the countdown.
