How dare he...
He clearly saw that power... how could he dare...?
But the next moment, Aubrey's voice rang out, interrupting his thoughts.
Cold and majestic like ice, it vibrated the surrounding air:
"To amass wealth in my country and manufacture weapons."
"And in the end, you still dare to dream of using them to defeat me?"
After saying these words, Aubrey's eyes turned incredibly fierce.
It's like the gaze of a lion catching its prey—sharp and fierce.
The terrifying sound, like the roar of a lion, shook the entire space above the capital, causing ripples of air to spread.
As soon as one sentence was spoken, another stern question followed:
"Do you think you can deceive the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Hermes' golden eyes narrowed sharply, and a strong sense of unease rose within him.
He couldn't understand why Aubrey was so confident.
He is a god, and the sky is filled with his massive cannons and warships.
Wasn't Aubrey afraid that when all the power was unleashed in an instant, it would engulf him along with all the residents present?
And this entire land, will it all be destroyed as well?
He couldn't understand it.
A surge of anger welled up in Hermes' heart.
Because he couldn't accept it.
"A country that does not respect the gods."
Because he couldn't accept it.
"A country that does not believe in gods."
Because he can't accept it!
"A nation that dares to challenge the gods!"
At that moment, the golden sand in Hermes' eyes spun rapidly like a whirlpool in a storm.
It was as if a surging, giant wave had been unleashed, then crashed heavily onto the earth.
It keeps repeating itself endlessly.
Finally, his voice was as cold as ice, as if issuing a command to break with the enemy, and he gently unleashed the last of his strength:
"Destroy it—"
Buzz—!!!
The moment the words fell, the energy cannons on the black starship that blotted out the sky converged and merged into a blazing light.
The terrifying force caused the wind on the earth to completely reverse, converging towards the thousands of cannon barrels.
The rays of light continued to converge, and the faint light inside the cannon barrel flickered even more brightly.
In an instant, countless dazzling green dots of light flashed in the black sea of stars, growing larger and larger high in the sky.
boom--
All the energy within the heavy cannon burst forth into the sky, gradually expanding.
Countless rays of light converged to form a thick, fluorescent pillar that pierced through the clouds.
The towering light that almost enveloped the entire city began to swirl in the endless night.
It rapidly absorbed the natural magic in the air, forming an incredibly chaotic vortex.
Under the influence of this terrifying magic, the entire capital city, which was like a ruin, was engulfed in turmoil, with sand and dust scattering everywhere.
Everything on the earth began to spin violently, spiraling towards the enormous, seemingly endless pillar.
Rubble and dust flew in the gale, almost filling the entire space.
Amidst the heavy pull of the vortex, the panicked residents huddled together, their terrified gazes fixed on the blazing giant pillar.
The elves hiding in the nobles' carriages were even more terrified.
They all looked up, their eyes wide, at the light that pierced the sky.
But just as they were gripped by panic, their bodies felt a strong sense of weakness.
Spots of green fluorescence appeared on their bodies.
That was natural energy being gradually absorbed, and the object of absorption was that terrifying pillar of light shooting into the sky.
At that moment, Kokot's mind was in complete chaos as he covered his ear with one hand.
She looked up in shock at the towering light that was constantly gathering above her.
Because she clearly sensed that this gathered power was not magic, yet it surpassed all magic.
"Natural energy..."
Because it originates from nature.
The next second, countless sharp laser beams poured out from the giant pillar, surging wildly in all directions of the capital before finally crashing into the earth.
Each thick laser beam left its mark on the earth like a lightning strike, and the dense, net-like power raged around the earth frequently and without rhythm.
Where it struck, the earth immediately cracked, and soil and gravel surged to the sky.
All the ruins touched by the light were instantly pulverized into dust.
In that instant, the earth transformed into thin paper, meticulously sliced by a sharp knife.
Too fragile to withstand, it crumbles into pieces.
A terrifying radiance gradually engulfed everything, and the terrifying power that erupted from the collapse overturned everything.
It nearly pushed the earth to the brink of destruction.
The residents standing in the central square in front of the palace were filled with despair and horror as they faced the impending disaster.
They could only stand there dumbfounded as the devastating laser destroyed their homes.
His body was held in place by fear and he could not move.
However, just as the light was about to touch the city wall...
Aubrey simply stretched out a weathered and broad hand toward the sky.
The corners of his mouth on that aged yet confident face were slightly upturned.
At that very moment, a strong sense of astonishment swept over Hermes.
Hermes quickly fixed his golden eyes on Aubrey in front of him.
He was stunned.
For at that moment, Hermes seemed to be hallucinating.
He saw it—
A young and strong figure with white hair, clad in golden armor, sat solemnly on the throne.
His illusory body seemed to gradually merge with the present-day Aubrey.
Young and spirited, his resolute face radiated confidence.
At the moment he ascended the throne, Aubrey stretched his hand to the sky, clenched his fist slightly, and declared to the world:
This is the era of Aubrey Saul.
Whether human or god.
'You can only look up to me—'
Suddenly, Hermes experienced a moment of dizziness.
When the illusion dissipated, he looked at Aubrey, who now showed signs of aging.
Finally, Aubrey clenched his fist.
Click—
Amidst the chaos and explosions of the world, a sudden, crisp sound rang out, drowning out all the confusion.
The air was shattered.
