Chapter 466: Chapter 241: The Struggle
At this moment, the battlefield environment where many Ninth Rank individuals were located has transformed from the original mountains to a desert covered with gray crystal gravel, flooded with chaotic elemental turbulence and Magic radiation.
A huge spherical Defensive Magic Array floated in the sky, radiating bright White Light, almost like a third moon between the Purple Moon and the Silver Moon.
“So, shall we begin now, everyone?”
Floating above the scorched earth left by the Magic aftermath, Bair from the Crystal Gate of the Gloria Empire turned his head. His inorganic crystal-like voice echoed in the minds of everyone present.
Simultaneously, an ancient Magic Scroll enveloped by a huge Element Crystal appeared in his hands.
Without much talk, all the Ninth Rank present could see that the ceremony in the sky was nearing its end.
The interference with the Net of Destiny by the opposition had already reached eighty percent of the necessary breakthrough level. Just a little more, and they would truly touch that boundary.
Including the leading Archbishop of the Saint Messia Empire and the Prophet forces behind many kingdoms of the Federation, they also began preparing their limit-breaking attacks.
Those ordinary Ninth Rank without limit-breaking artifacts began collectively constructing Superposition Magic, preparing to cooperate with the major forces soon in a joint attack on the huge Secret Magic Ceremony in the sky.
The actions of trying to forcibly create a Ninth Rank Prophet by the Federation Chairman had already disrupted the current balance of the situation.
Having one Stargazer among the leading Ninth Rank Prophets was already more than enough; a second one must not appear.
Unless the second Ninth Rank Prophet belongs to our own camp.
Facing this unprecedentedly powerful threat, the Ninth Rank inside the mid-air Defensive Magic Array of the Chairman’s side felt somewhat uncertain.
“Chairman, what should we do, can we withstand it? Or should we adjust the position of this Defensive Magic Array?”
Feeling the increasingly astonishing Magic fluctuations below, a Ninth Rank whose body shone like a diamond couldn’t help but feel insecure again.
“Compared to the visible attacks right now, I’m more worried about the effect of that Destiny Ripple just released by the Stargazer, I wonder if Grey Mist can withstand it.”
Another Ninth Rank also spoke, expressing concern about the earlier attack by the Stargazer.
“Don’t worry, everyone, your concerns are completely unnecessary.”
At the core of the Array, the Chairman shook his head.
“Good, since that’s the case, let everyone witness in advance the mighty power that we possess, one that can contend with this world.”
As he spoke, the Chairman’s gaze turned downward. At this moment, the attacks from many Ninth Rank had also just arrived.
Among the numerous terrifying Superposition Magic attacks from below, three had the most fearsome aura.
One was a lightless black sphere resembling a black hole. Wherever the sphere passed, the surface space developed black cracks as if it were being erased, unable to restore itself for a long time.
The second was an arrow of pure White Holy Light, seemingly delicate but filled with intense Holy Power that caused the sky to display a phenomenon like the descent of the Divine.
The last one was a barely visible transparent ripple; merely looking at it made the many Ninth Rank feel their Spiritual essence trembling, as though standing bare in the midst of ice and snow.
At this critical moment, Veronica also activated the Star of Destiny given by the Stargazer.
An additional Destiny Ripple from the Stargazer swept over, anchoring the entire Defensive Magic Array from a fate perspective, rendering it unable to dodge, and exposing its weakest Magic Node.
Gazing at these seemingly unstoppable attacks, the Chairman’s eyes were undisturbed.
He raised his right hand, grasped the dark golden key in front of his chest, and lifted it high.
Under the astonished and shocked gazes of both sides’ Ninth Rank, an enormous domain of pure White Radiance suddenly spread rapidly from the Defensive Magic Array in the sky, like the round moon suddenly turning into the blazing sun.
A sense of awe, absolutely insurmountable, arose in the hearts of the many Ninth Rank attendees, as if mortals were facing a god of supreme power.
Many attacks, upon entering the domain of radiance, melted away as quickly as snow under the sunlight.
Even the three strongest limit-breaking attacks could only penetrate the domain for a short distance before dispersing powerlessly.
However, after swallowing these three attacks, the radiant domain itself dimmed slightly, showing it wasn’t truly without cost.
“Do you see? This is the power of civilization! As long as we are bound by the restrictions of the Sky Peak Barrier, individual will is restrained and can never compete with the collective will of the masses.”
With dark eyes reflecting the surrounding white light, the Councilman looked around at the Ninth Rank, his tone indifferent as he began to speak.
“Now, continue with the ceremony. Our only opponent is the world itself.”
As the grand battle erupted on the Councilman’s side, Anvis’s consciousness also returned to the Net of Destiny, amidst the debating scene of many Prophets.
“Everyone, there is something I need to clarify to you all in advance.”
“What do you want to say, Mirror?”
Hearing his sudden words, a nearby Eighth Rank Prophet, puzzled, glanced at him.
This was the Prophet who he had previously usurped for the third position; initially siding with the Resistance Organization in this competition of Prophets’ breakthroughs, then switching his alliance to the side of the many Kingdom Nobles.
The choice itself wasn’t problematic, but due to Anvis’s action, he was still pushed to fourth place.
However, now that the first place was about to make a breakthrough, all of this no longer mattered.
“You should all be able to perceive the situation of that battle,”
Gazing at the many High Rank Prophets awaiting his words, Anvis quickly spoke.
“In a while, the situation will undergo a change, and I will open the foundational access of the Mechanical Network through a special method.
But relying on my own strength alone, I most likely won’t be able to compete with the first. Therefore, I hope to join forces with you all to seize control of the Mechanical Network!”
“Of course, how much we can seize still depends on your own abilities, but if you do not wish for the first to break through as a Ninth Rank Prophet, then please help me.”
Control of the Mechanical Network?
Hearing Anvis’s words, the group was somewhat surprised.
“Are you sure about this, Mirror?”
Now, Landon’s strength has broken through to the Fifth Rank; upon activating the Talisman, as promised, Anvis gave him strength.
The source of this strength was actually quite simple; since the Embers Organization had merged into Starfire, using one of his subordinates who had been placed in Starfire, Anvis, under the alias ‘Mirror Man’, provided Landon with various Secret Treasure Potions enough for a breakthrough to the Seventh Rank.
To desire strength only indicates that not enough has been sacrificed.
Think about it, if you had spent eighty thousand, would you be in your current state?
