Several streaks of iridescent light slowly slid down from the sky.
The moment the vibrant magic touched the earth, a massive and mysterious magic circle slowly appeared on the ground.
The magic circle slowly unfolded on the empty land, tightly surrounding the motionless Hermes.
All around, countless monks chanted incantations, their voices echoing in the air like mist.
Different colored magical ripples burst forth from their hands, coiling in the air into thick magical ropes.
They intertwine and interweave, and in the blink of an eye, they weave a magical net that is both rugged and vast.
It spread out from above Hermes' head and gradually closed up.
The moment the magic web solidified, it transformed into a sturdy cage, imprisoning Hermes within it.
His hands and feet were bound by handcuffs and shackles made of magic, tightly connected to the four corners of the cage.
As the magic flowed through the hands of countless mages, the cage made of magic began to slowly rise into the air.
Dust swirled and flew straight through the thick clouds, heading towards the horizon.
Heim Horn and Rachel watched the mages take Hermes away, then turned to express their gratitude to Victor:
"Thank you for your hard work, Congressman Victor."
"If it weren't for your plan, we would have had a hard time capturing this long-time fugitive."
Hermes, the god whom the archmages called the "traitor," was always the object of their constant expulsion.
The archmage once devised many methods to drive Hermes away from the mortal realm.
However, despite countless attempts, he was unable to achieve this goal until the archmage left this world.
After all, this god was far too cunning.
Now, with Victor's help, the Mage Council has finally succeeded in capturing Hermes.
In a sense, this also fulfilled the long-cherished wish that the Grand Master could not realize.
only……
Heim Horn turned to look at the dusty landscape.
The vast capital city was utterly destroyed after this fierce battle.
The ruins and broken walls of the building were worn away to the point of being almost bare.
The once bustling streets are now disorienting, covered by a thick layer of sand and dust.
Only the golden palace still stands, silently guarding this land and its inhabitants.
Heim Horn's gaze swept over the surrounding ruins, then he turned and bowed deeply to Emperor Aubrey Thor beside him:
"At the same time, our Dharma Council would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you."
"Your Majesty, Aubrey Thor."
He knew that without the emperor's support, this operation could not succeed.
However, the price of this battle was the destruction of the entire capital.
"The other residents of the capital have been safely evacuated. Our Mage Council will also do its utmost to repair the buildings and residences in the capital."
"In addition, as Congressman Victor said, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce will also provide corresponding compensation."
The Cassidra Merchant Guild was naturally the happiest about Hermes' arrest.
They no longer had to worry about their wealth being taken away by Hermes.
They can run their businesses with peace of mind, continue to attract wealth from all over the world, and make their pockets even fuller.
Therefore, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce would certainly be willing to provide compensation.
Rebuilding a capital city would be very costly, but they could still distinguish between losing a portion of their capital and losing everything.
At this moment, His Majesty Aubrey gently shook his head and smiled.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his slightly bent body appearing even more dignified in the sunlight.
The surrounding residents quieted down.
Their eyes were filled with reverence and awe as they silently watched the great emperor.
This event will further enhance the prestige of the royal family in the hearts of the people.
The emperor, who had not made a move for a long time, once again displayed his power before the people of the empire.
This time, they even directly defeated a god.
Just one strike.
The news will surely cause a huge stir around the world and shock everyone.
Once again, Aubrey established his invincible status through his own strength.
As for Oppoli
This was his greatest joy.
With everything settled, Aubrey could finally step down with peace of mind.
only……
His gaze shifted to the towering palace on the steps.
The palace, bathed in golden sunlight, shone brilliantly, as if its light could pierce through the clouds and reach the heavens.
For the first time, a sense of unease arose in the heart of this man who controlled everything in the empire.
All plans are subject to change, and he could not be certain whether his descendants would be able to safeguard the prosperity of the empire after his departure.
But at least, Aubrey had already paved the way for everything that followed while he was in office.
Then, he took a deep breath, raised a fist, and slowly lifted it.
He didn't make a sound.
At that moment, everyone who looked at Aubrey, whether noble or commoner, was aware of it.
They all raised their fists with immense excitement, slowly raising them above their heads.
The next second, the entire capital city echoed with the passionate roars of everyone.
"Empire, immortal!!!"
This powerful voice was uttered by every resident present.
Like the roar of a giant lion, it pierced the sky and resounded through the clouds.
Seeing this scene, Haim Horn couldn't help but jokingly tease Rachel beside him:
