Chapter 200: The Balance and the Magic Net
Chapter 200: On the second battlefield, the wind was raging, magic power was intertwined, and the battle between Master Bed and the Mechanical Puppet Wizard was still going on.
Two Morning Star-level warriors roamed the sky, and the energy they released was as destructive as a star falling to the ground. The heaven and earth seemed to be swaying and tilting in their confrontation.
The wave was so strong that it was enough to cover everything, making the war between the wizards and believers below seem like just rolling dust and a blurry background.
However, at this moment.
Suddenly, high in the sky, a completely different wave radiated from the void!
It is not as violent and majestic as the Morning Star Wizard, but it is sacred, solemn and inviolable.
Even the vast aftermath of the spell, like a snowflake encountering the scorching sun, was instantly annihilated by this wave, and it could not even be concealed.
That wave of energy descended from the sky, as if it was projected from a higher plane, or even from the top of the kingdom of God.
The power of divinity descended upon the earth like an invisible divine chain, and the heaven and earth seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure.
In an instant, countless eyes were attracted and looked up.
Wizards, believers, war dolls... especially the goddess believers, all stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky, with fanaticism and pilgrimage-like piety in their eyes.
Even the wizard Bede, who was fighting, was shocked.
He raised his head and looked towards the end of the void. In the hazy light, he seemed to see a tall and majestic figure slowly extending his divine hand.
"That is... the breath of the Demon Net Goddess... even more terrifying than before..."
Lin En, who was far away, could clearly feel the flow of divine power even though he was in a heavily guarded war fortress.
Like a boiling flood of light, it rolled along the sky, covering the whole sky! Previously, when he and Qi went deep behind enemy lines and entered the Seven Star Temple of Master Bede, they were hunted down by the Goddess of the Demon Net.
At that time, she was already an extremely powerful and irresistible existence.
But compared with now, it still seems insignificant.
It was obvious that the goddess at that time was only forcibly awakened and had not recovered all her divine power.
But now it's different! She has refined most of the outer plane into an extension of the kingdom of God. The infinite power of faith and the authority of rules have converged, allowing her to truly reach the pinnacle! She has firmly established herself as a formal god!
The great figure in the sky had not yet truly appeared, but the majestic divine power that was as powerful as the sky was becoming more and more intense, almost condensing into substance, shaking the heaven and earth! All this showed that the goddess of the magic net was slowly descending towards the battlefield!
However, Lin En had a vague feeling in her heart that if she really wanted to take action, her target might not be the second battlefield here.
"She is more likely to go to the first battlefield, which is the core." Lin En murmured with a calm look.
After all, with the current power of the Goddess of Demon Net, if she took action just for the second battlefield, it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Before he finished his thoughts, a voice came from beside him.
"Be prepared. I'll ask her to contact you later..."
Kai, who was wearing a maple leaf robe, pointed at Astrid, who was standing next to Lynn, and spoke in a calm tone.
The next moment, his figure disappeared quietly like a leaf in the wind, as if he had never existed.
Above the sky, the battle between the Mage Bed and the Mechanical Puppet Wizard continued unabated. The huge magic array and the war puppet machines were fighting each other, but there was no sign of Qi there.
When Lin En saw this scene, he knew that Qi should be going to find the real goddess.
"Now... I can restore my true identity."
A faint green light quietly appeared on Fao's forehead, jumping like a flame in the night.
Since he no longer needs to pretend to be Fao, he naturally will not miss the precious memories contained in this body.
It is the accumulation of chivalry, the crystallization of experience of believers in gods, and a method to gain a deeper understanding of the civilization of gods.
I didn’t dare to act rashly before for fear of exposing my identity, but now I have no scruples anymore.
Lynn closed his eyes and let his mind sink into his body, and the power of Ifgrid quietly awakened.
One after another, dark green tree roots spread out from under his feet, moving like snakes and exploring into the memory bubbles that had not yet collapsed. They were swift and precise, and forcibly extracted without hesitation.
"The knight's combat skills, methods of mobilizing divine power, archery, body movement, sword intent... as well as battlefield tactics, goddess believers... none of these can be wasted."
In those ten seconds or so, a silent swallowing was quietly completed.
Faol's body slowly disintegrated in the green light and turned into ashes.
And in its original place, a huge green tree stands as if it has risen from the depths of the earth, with swaying branches and leaves and dense veins, like a tree of wisdom that has carried the weight of thousands of years.
The next moment, Lin En's figure slowly stepped out from the tree trunk, his robe fluttering in the wind, his expression calm and stern.
He raised his hand and stroked his brow, and suddenly his expression changed.
"Hmm? Is this... a mark?"
A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
He could feel that it was a spiritual mark left on him after Faol's death, obscure and ancient.
"It seems that Teacher Fao has already realized the complete demise of his disciple..."
He frowned slightly, but did not show any panic.
At this moment, the army of wizards and the army of goddesses have already started a complete battle on the battlefield, with flags fluttering, magical lights rising into the sky, and wails shaking the earth.
Even if Commander Cindy of the mysterious Fire Knights already knew the truth, there was no way he could spare the time to investigate the death of a missing disciple at such a critical moment.
Lin En stood in the highest command room of the war fortress. In front of him was a crystal clear viewing wall, from which he could clearly see every aspect of the external battle situation.
His gaze moved slowly, first sweeping towards the sky. The battle between Master Bed and the Mechanical Puppet Wizard was still earth-shattering.
The clash of powers between the two Morning Star warriors almost tore the sky apart, and the void shook like a drum or thunder.
And on the earth, countless armies of wizards and goddess believers were completely entangled with each other, with intertwined battle lines and a mixture of blood and fire.
The mechanical wizard controlled the densely packed puppet army, advancing like an iron wall.
All kinds of spells fell like raindrops, causing explosions and roars among the enemies.
He saw a mechanical wizard commanding a huge self-destructing puppet to charge towards the enemy.
However, it was reflected back by a spell from a certain senior wizard, and exploded in their own formation. The blasting flames engulfed more than a dozen mechanical wizards.
“It’s so tragic…”
Lin En's eyes were solemn, and there was a ripple in his heart.
This level of direct conflict has gone beyond conventional warfare and is not comparable to the Crucible War he had participated in.
"Level 1 wizards... are indeed the largest basic force below... Level 2 wizards are mostly squad leaders and tactical commanders. As for level 3 wizards, although they are rare, they dare not go deep into the core of the battlefield."
He sighed slightly.
Even a third-level wizard with great power and authority would be trapped like a turtle in a jar once he was trapped in the core area where thousands of spells converged.
After all, as long as one has never stepped into the powerful realm of the Morning Star Wizard, then there will be no complete "qualitative change", and the accumulation of power brought by quantity cannot be ignored...
"Even though I am a second-level wizard and can serve as an officer, I could still die at any time in this hellish battlefield... If I really go up there, whether I can survive or not really depends on luck."
Lin En is not self-deprecating, but has a clear understanding.
"The battlefield is really a meat grinder. Unless I advance to the Morning Star Wizard, I don't want to stay on the battlefield anymore..."
Lin En recalled the past. Ever since he came into this world, scenes of war have never stopped.
When I first stayed in the Spirit Eye Furnace, the various wars launched by the Spirit Eye Furnace were certainly not as tragic and terrifying as they are now.
But Lin En was also very weak at that time. He was just an apprentice, and the Crucible War was enough to have a considerable impact on his life.
Even though he has now broken through to the middle stage of the second-level wizard, he is not qualified to remain absolutely safe in a war of this magnitude.
Even the Morning Star Wizard wouldn't dare to say that...
Lin En watched the battle between the Mechanical Puppet Wizard and the Bede Mage from above. Neither side could do anything to the other, and they were in a stalemate...
At this moment, Astrid suddenly spoke.
"Master, please be prepared..."
Hearing this, Lin En raised his eyebrows. It seems that Qi is about to take action? Thinking of this, Lin En clasped his hands on his chest, and a green light loomed. The spirit of the blue sky was ready at any time.
………………………………
At the same time, on the other side of the outer plane, violent fluctuations of divine power quietly emerged.
The great goddess of the magic net slowly walked out from the depths of the kingdom of God, and the boundless and vast divine domain that shone like a web of stars closed silently behind her.
Her figure was like a ray of holy light condensed from the void, walking in the air and pointing straight in the direction of the first battlefield.
She just raised her hand, divine light surged in her palm, and a long bridge formed by colorful divine power was like a rainbow running through the plane.
It extends from the Kingdom of God, spanning tens of millions of miles of void, leading straight to the distant battlefield front.
Her figure stood lightly on the long bridge of divine power, with vast divine light lingering around her, illuminating the entire silent outer space.
The surrounding is a multi-dimensional illusion with flowing light, like a dream, dazzling and fascinating.
The eyes of the Demon Net Goddess were as deep as the night sea, without the slightest emotion fluctuation. Even though she was about to face many enemy gods, her expression was still as cold as ice.
However, just as she was about to step into the battlefield, she suddenly frowned and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
With a slight wave of her jade hand, the speeding bridge of divine power suddenly stopped and hovered in the void as if frozen.
The next moment, the space in front twisted and spread out like golden ripples. A ray of light emerged from nothingness and gradually condensed into shape.
A tall figure stepped out slowly.
He was wearing a robe with maple leaf patterns. He had a tall and stern figure, but his face was constantly changing, as if shrouded in a layer of phantom light, making it impossible to capture his true appearance.
Only those calm and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the hearts of the gods.
This figure naturally opened up.
Faced with the pressure from the Demon Net Goddess, a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard, even a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard would be trembling with fear and would find it difficult to control himself under her divine brilliance.
However, Qi was as calm as an ancient maple tree in a maple forest, with a faint shadow of red maple lingering around him.
Every fallen leaf is like a divine barrier, gently dissolving the oppressive feeling of the god, as if the heaven and earth have become gentle beside him.
The beautiful eyes of the Demon Net Goddess flickered, and for the first time, she showed a hint of surprise.
She was not angry because her momentum was resisted. Instead, she fell into deep thought because of a certain aura of the person in front of her.
It was a smell that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
She stared at Qi, her red lips slightly parted, her voice was like a heavenly whisper, but it contained a sacred divinity: "You smell like... Chauntia."
There was no doubt in her voice, but rather an accurate affirmation, as if she was certain that she could feel the breath of the goddess of nature and life.
"It seems that the person I'm looking for is you."
Although she spoke in the ancient language of the gods' civilization, with the blessing of divine power, even if the listeners did not understand the language, they could understand the meaning.
The Goddess of the Demonic Net went to great lengths to find this person, but she never expected that this person would appear in front of her on his own initiative.
Previously in the material plane, the Demon Net Goddess chased this person for a long time but failed to catch up.
But now the other party actually appeared in front of her? "You showed up on your own initiative... do you want to hand over Shangtia's things?"
Her voice was calm, and she did not attack immediately. Instead, she was interested in talking to Qi.
However, at this moment, the figure in the maple leaf robe suddenly trembled slightly.
As if unable to bear the pressure of the divine power, his body trembled involuntarily.
The Demon Net Goddess's eyes were as sharp as knives, and she wanted to capture some fear in them.
But she immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was not fear.
That slight trembling was clearly a kind of... excitement that could not be concealed!
He was excited...in ecstasy!
"Qi", who controls the body of the maple tree, is now feeling a wave of ecstasy in his heart.
He had never thought that he could get to this point so smoothly - all the layouts and plans were now being advanced one after another like precision gears, without a single mistake.
He didn't dare to speak even a word.
He was afraid of being exposed, afraid that a careless tone or manner would reveal his identity and disrupt this tight arrangement.
The goddess of magic net opposite, who is as bright as a star, is the supreme god from the distant civilization of gods.
She did not participate in the war that destroyed the civilization of the old era, or rather, she had intervened in it, but the one standing at the end of the battlefield at that time was not the one in front of her, but the previous two goddesses of the magic net.
The person in front of you is the third successor to the godhood that has been passed down to this day.
"breathe……"
Qi took a deep breath, and his figure under the maple leaf robe trembled slightly in the golden light, but it was not because of fear, but because of extreme excitement that he could not control himself.
Boom! Behind him, a golden light suddenly rose up, appearing across the sky like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire outer space.
At the same time, on the distant second battlefield, a strange and shocking green divine light lit up between heaven and earth!
That ray of green was not light in the ordinary sense, but it was like the essence of vitality condensed to the extreme from the origin of life, like the sound of spring thunder, the earth waking up, illuminating all the dead corners in an instant.
Even though there were thousands of miles of stars between them, the Demon Net Goddess could clearly sense the terrifying fluctuations that made people's hearts palpitate! Her expression, which was originally as calm as water, finally changed drastically.
"Chantia's divine power? You actually wanted to give him... an opportunity!"
Her eyes suddenly focused, and the next moment, the divine power in her body burst out.
The wrath of this official god swept out like a tidal wave!
Boom!
Behind her, countless spider-silk-like magic web lines emerged from the void, spreading out one after another, so densely packed that it seemed as if the entire world had turned into a kingdom of magic web.
Each magic net seems to be imprinted with the laws of rules and order, forming an invisible net that covers the sky and the sun.
And at the very core of the boundless magic web, a shadow of authority quietly emerged.
That is the projection of the magic network's authority. Although it is not the real entity, it is connected to the real authority. It is its extended incarnation and one of the foundations of the entire magic network's priesthood!
However, at this moment.
At this moment, Qi suddenly raised his right hand.
He said nothing, just waved gently.
Buzz! A golden balance quietly appeared between heaven and earth.
It has no sound, but has more impact than thunder; it has no weight, but seems to measure the most untouchable balance and destiny in the universe!
The scale slowly sank, and at one end there was a green light as warm as a newborn leaf;
At the other end, the green suddenly swelled, enlarged, and extended infinitely, like a tide swallowing up the galaxy, and finally turned into a mighty torrent, heading straight towards the Goddess of the Demon Net!
"boom!"
That ray of light froze the figure of the goddess of the magic net, trapping her firmly in mid-air, unable to move like a sculpture.
The surging green divine light hit the power of the magic network behind her like a raging tide! She couldn't move, but she finally understood.
"The Supreme Eternal Balance... So this is it..."
The moment the Demon Net Goddess saw the golden scales, she understood everything.
However, she knew that it was too late for her to understand, and the figure in front of her had been waiting for her to reveal the power of the magic network.
Now that the power of the Demon Network has been exposed, the opponent's plan has been completed.
