Chapter 450 Igniting the Divine Fire, Condensing the Divine Kingdom
Chapter 450 Igniting the Divine Fire, Condensing the Divine Kingdom
Layers of blue and white crystals are stacked, tapering from bottom to top, resembling a colossal blue and white pyramid when viewed from afar.
On those layers of platforms, there stood countless figures, all with their hands clasped together, heads bowed, in a posture of devout prayer.
Despite their diverse appearances—men and women, young and old—their expressions of fervor and devotion seemed to be etched from the same mold.
Looking out, the view stretched endlessly across the blue and white platform, and one wondered how many believers of the gods stood there.
Moreover, the higher you go, the fewer people there are.
At the same time, the aura emanating from those figures grew increasingly powerful.
On the lowest platform, most of the people are just ordinary superhumans;
Further up, formal mages and grand mages begin to appear;
At even higher levels, one could faintly see fluctuations at the legendary level.
The entire blue and white pyramid seems to represent the extremely strict hierarchy of the divine civilization.
As Lynn led the group closer, his gaze went straight past the densely packed, almost endless crowd of believers.
His gaze remained fixed on the very top, where a figure stood.
Just now, it was this same person who waved to them from afar.
As they got closer, everyone finally saw what the figure looked like.
A simple long robe hung down, without any elaborate or luxurious decorations.
The man's face was that of a middle-aged man with a gentle expression and deep, bright eyes. He didn't seem like a fanatical religious believer, but rather more like a learned and wise scholar.
Even just looking at him can subconsciously give you a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
However, it is precisely because of this that it seems even more bizarre.
Because Lynn knew very well that anyone who could stand in such a place could not possibly be a gentle and harmless person.
Although everyone's spiritual power was greatly suppressed on the blue and white stars at this moment, making it impossible to clearly perceive the other's specific realm.
It is unknown whether this person is a legendary archmage or an existence of an even higher level.
But in just a moment of eye contact, Lynn had already made a judgment.
This person's strength far surpasses that of the legendary archmages I encountered on the battlefield of Earth City!
If nothing unexpected happens, the person in front of us is most likely the true core figure of the Ocean Kingdom, or even the Goddess of the Magic Network, or their biggest trump card.
Just as Lynn was observing the other party, at the very top of the platform, the middle-aged man's gaze also slowly fell on Lynn.
To everyone's surprise, this person showed no hostility whatsoever; instead, he had a smile on his lips and a gentle expression.
The way they looked at him didn't seem like they were looking at the lord of some hostile civilization at all; rather, it was as if they were welcoming a guest who had come from afar.
Even the aloofness and disdain typical of legendary mages, as if they were looking down on heretics, were absent.
The next moment, this person spoke directly, and what he used was not the language of the gods, but the perfectly standard common language of wizards.
"Distinguished guest from afar, Lord of the Natural Divine Dynasty..."
The middle-aged man bowed slightly, his movements elegant and composed.
"Hyptis sends you goodwill."
It is worth mentioning that the period of confrontation between the wizard civilization and the god civilization has been incredibly long.
For the truly powerful figures on both sides, learning the other's language has never been a difficult task.
For example, Lynn once controlled a knight from the civilization of gods during the extraterritorial expedition against the Goddess of the Magic Network, and used this to learn the language system of the civilization of gods.
However, speaking the other party's language is one thing; when two armies are actually facing off, it's quite another.
Under normal circumstances, even if the top leaders of both sides can understand each other's language, they would never take the initiative to communicate using the other side's civilized language.
Because once you reach the level of Morning Star Wizard or Legendary Wizard, language itself becomes less important.
When mental energy is attached to a sound, even if the languages are different, the meaning can be understood roughly.
On the battlefield, it's not about academic research or complex knowledge transmission.
What truly matters is one's stance.
Speaking in one's own civilization's language represents an attitude and conveys fighting spirit and will to the extraordinary legions below.
However, the scene before them did not resemble an imminent war.
The civilization of gods went to great lengths to forcibly send Lynn and the others to this blue and white star.
However, the other side did not set up an ambush, nor did they launch an immediate attack.
Instead, layer upon layer of blue and white platforms were built here.
Countless believers stood in silent prayer, and at the very top, Hyptis looked particularly gentle, as if he had been waiting there specifically for Lynn's arrival.
This eerie atmosphere was more unsettling than a simple battle.
Although Lynn was extremely wary, seeing that Hyptis did not show any killing intent at first, he simply started talking to him directly.
Of course, to avoid any confusion among the Morning Star wizards around him who hadn't studied the language of the gods, Lynn still used standard wizarding common language.
"Lord Hyptis".
"After we left Sky City, we were forcibly transported here by those blue and white stars hanging high in the sky."
"This behavior is hardly the act of kindness."
Lynn's voice was calm and unhurried.
As his words fell, the entire blue and white platform remained completely silent.
The layers upon layers of believers remained bowed in prayer, like statues, motionless.
Only Hyptis at the very top kept his gaze fixed on Lynn.
Faced with Lynn's questioning, his expression remained gentle and unchanged before he slowly spoke:
"My lord, who has come from afar."
"Isn't this interdimensional war your biggest worry right now?"
"In that case..."
Heptis slightly raised his hand, as if showing Lynn the entire blue and white starry sky.
"If only we could end this war sooner."
"Then isn't this a goodwill gesture for you and for the entire Pano plane?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the native wizards from the Pano plane behind Lynn changed slightly.
After all, for them, the Pano plane was their home, while the civilization of the gods was an invader.
Now the aggressors are brazenly saying that "ending the war is a good deed," which naturally makes them uncomfortable.
However, compared to the emotional fluctuations of those native wizards.
Lynn and Sean simply exchanged a glance and then smiled slightly.
This kind of rhetoric might fool lower-level believers, but it seems rather ridiculous to people at their level.
Then, in the next moment, Lynn spoke again:
"Oh?"
"So, Lord Hyptis's so-called end of the war means he intends to take your people away from the Pano plane..."
"Or are you planning to fight me to the death here?"
The moment the words fell, a deep gleam slowly appeared in Lynn's eyes.
Although his mental power was being severely suppressed by the blue and white star at this moment, it did not mean that he had completely lost the ability to resist.
In fact, Lynn's true trump card was never just his own level of skill.
Not only him, but also the wizard Sean beside him had already made preparations silently.
Although this sixth-level nobleman had always acted aloof, as a true sixth-level wizard, he possessed no fewer trump cards and life-saving methods than Lynn.
Beneath that handsome and elegant face, a strong aura of danger was also hidden at this moment.
In addition, Anton, the Soul-Slaying Wizard, and others have also secretly mobilized their own power.
Although the mental fluctuations of the crowd were suppressed, the murderous intent that was about to be unleashed still faintly spread out.
A major battle seemed imminent.
However, compared to the tense atmosphere on the wizards' side, Hyptis on the other side remained calm and gentle.
The middle-aged man standing on the highest platform smiled gently, his demeanor still that of a learned and gentle sage.
Then, he slowly began to speak:
"My lord, it seems you have misunderstood. We have come bearing the glory of the gods."
"Perhaps in the eyes of the wizarding civilization, this is a war of invasion of another plane."
"But that's all in the past. It was the way those messengers of the gods did in the previous generation and the generation before that."
"And this time..."
Heptis slowly opened his arms, and the countless praying believers behind him seemed to murmur softly in response to his movements.
"The glory of the gods will shine on the whole earth, but not in the form of war."
It must be said that Hyptis truly deserves to be called a top powerhouse from the civilization of gods.
His words were rambling and incoherent, yet his tone was so gentle and sincere that it seemed as if he were truly spreading some great gospel.
The problem is that the entire Pano plane has already been turned upside down by them!
Countless kingdoms have fallen, vast territories have been lost, and the ocean kingdom has completely changed hands.
Of the three supreme cities, one is almost half-destroyed, another has been completely destroyed, and the last one, the Sky City, is suspected of having secretly sided with the civilization of the gods.
The fact that such blatant aggression and slaughter, when spoken of by Hyptis, was as if it were a divine blessing bestowed upon all living beings.
Such words were nothing short of an undisguised insult to the native wizards of the Pano plane!
In particular, the faces of Lord Warren, Wizard Plant, and Wizard Garrot were so gloomy that they could almost drip water, and their intense killing intent was completely undisguised.
If Lynn hadn't been standing at the forefront and hadn't given a clear order, these people would probably have already charged forward and fought Hyptis to the death.
However, compared to the public's anger.
After listening to Hyptis's words, Lynn's expression actually became slightly serious.
Because he knew very well that the man in front of him was definitely not some crazy person who liked to talk nonsense.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hyptis is very likely to be the true supreme commander of this army of the Magic Goddesses.
Such a person would not say these things without a reason.
So here's the problem.
What makes this interdimensional war launched by the various divine civilizations against the Natural God Dynasty different from previous ones?
Or rather, what exactly does Hyptis mean by "not in the form of war"?
Fortunately, although Hyptis spoke in a cryptic manner, he was not a riddle-maker in the true sense.
The next moment, he clapped his hands lightly.
Snapped.
As the crisp sound faded, some figures finally began to move slowly on the top few floors of the blue and white platform.
Those people had been standing there quietly, dressed in simple robes, just like Hyptis.
With their faces concealed by hoods and the suppression of mental energy by the blue and white stars, Lynn and the others were completely unable to ascertain their true identities.
Therefore, everyone previously thought these people were just some legendary powerhouses under Hyptis's command.
However, at this moment, as those figures slowly raised their hands and took off their hoods,
One after another, incredibly familiar faces suddenly came into view!
Lynn might not recognize these familiar faces.
But the native wizards of the Pano plane beside him changed their expressions instantly.
Especially the Lord of Warren.
The city lord of this great capital suddenly contracted his pupils, and for the first time, his expression showed obvious loss of composure.
"An Ice Wizard?!"
"Jademan!"
"There's a Phantom Wizard too?!"
He spoke almost as if he had lost his voice.
Because those figures were none other than the Morning Star Wizards who had betrayed and disappeared in the former capital of the earth!
And it's not just the capital city.
More often, however, were powerful figures from the Ocean Kingdom.
Those beings who were once renowned in the Pano plane are now all standing on that blue and white platform.
Moreover, each of them, with devout expressions and fervent gazes, served quietly beside Hyptis like the most loyal believers.
What truly shook the Lord of Warren was a figure standing on the highest platform, second only to the one where Hyptis stood.
He was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe.
His face was dignified, and his aura was deep.
Even though he stood there calmly, he still exuded a sense of oppressive power befitting a king.
Upon seeing that figure, Lord Warren felt as if his scalp had exploded.
Because that was none other than the current ruler of the Ocean Kingdom.
In the entire Pano plane, second only to the Great Sage Moonshadow Wizard, is Emperor Kyle!
That's a real level six wizard!
However, the lord of the ocean kingdom is now standing quietly behind Hyptis, just like everyone else.
With his hands clasped in front of his chest and his expression devout, he looked like the most loyal servant of God.
This scene sent a chill down everyone's spines.
Because this is no longer a simple "betrayal," but something much more bizarre and terrifying.
One by one, Morning Star Wizards, and even Level Six beings, were unknowingly transformed into fanatical believers of the gods!
This method is absolutely chilling.
Even the native wizards of the Pano plane, including Lynn and Sean, showed slight changes in their expressions.
Behind the two, the Soul of the Blazing Warlock, Anton, and others also recognized a familiar figure.
"That one over there... looks like the Wizard of Conflict..."
Anton said in a low voice without thinking.
Upon seeing that figure, the Soul of Slaying Flame Wizard's face turned deathly pale.
It turns out that the Wizard of Conflict didn't die at all; he just turned into what he is now, a complete fanatical believer under the command of the gods!
For wizards, becoming a follower of the gods is sometimes even more terrifying than death.
Thinking of this, the Soul of the Flame Slayer couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
fortunately……
Fortunately, I was assigned to the battlefield of Earth City.
Otherwise, if we went to the Ocean Kingdom...
The person standing on that high platform now, displaying such a fanatical and devout posture, is probably about to become myself...
Meanwhile, at the very top of the platform.
Heptis looked at the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, but just smiled slightly.
Then, he slowly raised his hand, signaling the people behind him to quiet down again.
"Life and death are not the authority of my Lord."
"Therefore, this is not what I expected."
“I have done my best... to save them from death.”
His voice remained gentle and calm, as if he had truly performed a great act of kindness.
However, when these words reached the ears of the crowd, they only sent chills down their spines.
Lord Warren and others, in particular, were filled with rage.
Because these people who "survived" were no longer the wizards they once knew.
However, Hyptis completely ignored the gazes of the crowd.
The next moment, the smile on his face faded slightly.
Then his expression gradually became solemn and dignified, as if he had transformed into a true temple priest.
Then, he slowly bowed slightly to Lynn.
"Honorable Lord of the Natural God Dynasty".
"Please allow me to express my deepest respect to you."
"This interdimensional war should not have ended in bloodshed and war."
"The glory of the great gods shines upon all things in the world."
"Only under the radiance of the gods can everything reach a truly perfect conclusion."
At this point, Heptis slowly opened his arms.
In an instant, the entire blue and white platform began to tremble slightly.
One after another, pale blue lines spread out from the depths of the platform.
Like the veins of a living thing, it spreads continuously in all directions.
At the same time, the subtle sense of oppression on the entire blue and white star suddenly surged!
And the voice of Hyptis.
At that moment, it resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
"Therefore, we ask Your Excellency to be our witness today!"
"Witness me, Hyptis, taking that step toward the gods!"
"Ignite the divine fire!"
"Condense the Divine Kingdom!" (End of Chapter)
