Ever since the fairies got involved in the news industry, the speed at which information was disseminated in this world had greatly increased. As long as there was a nearby fairies station and they subscribed to the Black Forest Daily News, they would be able to learn about the major events that happened several days ago on the other side of the world.
But recently, the fairies were having trouble keeping up with the news.
It was impossible for the Holy War to end without mercy. The result of the entire world being at war was that there would be major news every day.
In the past, the death of a king or the destruction of an entire army would be headline news. But now, the destruction of a small or medium-sized kingdom would probably only be on the second page.
Did it all sound like bad news?
The result of having bad news everywhere was that the good news would be infinitely magnified.
"A Devil Lord invaded the mortal plane and was attacked by the strongest Holy Knight!"
But on the next day, the fairies controlled more than a hundred newspapers and magazines, and they all used the same headline.
Below the headline was a memory of Sarwenstan, who only had half a dragon's head left. Even though he was in an incredibly pitiful state, he was still capable of instilling fear in mortals.
The source of all evil that could only appear in myths was lying right in front of them, and in such a pitiful state at that. This was far too shocking.
For a certain dimension, this was the equivalent of Demon King Satan suddenly appearing and intending to settle old scores with God, only to be smashed in the head by a random brick right after he crawled out of Hell, causing his brain to splatter … This seemed rather strange, but the meaning was more or less the same.
In the end, no matter which publication it was, they all used more than half of the space to report on this event. They talked about the past deeds of the Great Demon King, discussing his status, influence, and how many experts he had killed. In the end, they all came to the same conclusion. The results of this battle were shocking, unbelievable, and inspiring.
"This is the greatest battle result since the Holy War began!"
"Compared to the strongest Holy Knight who has achieved astonishing battle results time and time again, the Holy Church is nothing more than a bunch of nobodies who only know how to make a ruckus."
In the most sensational news, there would always be a small headline in parentheses on the last page: "Sarwenstan's ally A, the Undead Emperor Shupnus was accidentally injured by the shockwaves." There would also be a picture of a pitiful skull in the middle.
Ally A? Accidentally injured? Accidental injury? If I were Shupnus, I would probably explode in anger upon seeing these words. Being treated like this with a small title on the last page was even more humiliating than being seriously injured by an assassin.
Idle fish? The Holy Church, who attracted the most attention for no reason, was the fact that even the fairies dared to directly criticize the Holy Church. From a certain perspective, the Holy Church's reputation had been greatly reduced recently. If the Holy Church didn't do something of importance soon, not only would it be impossible for the Holy Church to take the initiative in the Holy War, it was even possible that the Holy Church would be forced out of the stage by the alliance of the major factions.
Actually, these two weren't even the most pitiful of all. The most pitiful of all was a Devil Lord. He didn't even have the chance to report his name before he died. Everyone even tacitly forgot about his existence.
"I am the Demon King under the throne of the Great Demon King Satan … Ahhhhhh!"
Just as he appeared on the stage, before he could even finish his registration, he was turned into ashes in a flash of light. It couldn't be any more tragic.
Even though this Devil Lord was clearly a vicious character who dominated all the planes, a character that mortals feared and even the Gods feared, he was reduced to such a tragic character with comedic effects. It was truly a sigh.
The battlefield in Bardi, which nobody paid much attention to previously, suddenly became the focus of attention. It instantly surpassed the meat grinder in San Antonio and became the most watched battlefield in the entire mortal plane.
Roland himself also became the focus of attention once again.
This time, the fairies didn't intend to adjust the Calamity Rankings again, because it was impossible to increase it any further. In fact, they were even hesitating about whether or not to remove him from the Calamity Rankings. After all, the main reason for being on the Calamity Rankings was because he was dangerous. From a certain standpoint, Roland had already used his actions to prove his loyalty to the fairies.
Roland's power level instantly increased by several levels. He had originally been a Level 4 Main God, but now he was a Level 5 Main God.
A Level 20 Main God would be a Main God, while a Level 10 Main God would be a Level 5 Main God. This meant that a Level 5 Main God would have the ability to threaten a Main God. However, this Level 5 Main God wouldn't be able to defeat a Main God yet.
Actually, this evaluation was incredibly unreliable. No matter if it was Sophocles, Sarwenstan, or even that Seraph and Undead Emperor, they were all imaginary enemies of mine. They were all existences that would be countered by my Myth-ranked weapon. Not only that, I had been able to achieve such a good result by using my trump card for the first time.
If it had been an opponent that I couldn't counter, such as a Nature God, a Dwarf God, or an Chaos Evil God that leaned towards the Order Faction but was now a Primordial God, let alone a Main God, I would have turned around and fled even if the opponent was a Main God. After all, I had only created one out of four magic swords. I was far from reaching my limit.
However, this so-called power level was just like that. It could only be used as a general reference for newcomers and laymen. Every powerful existence would have their own path, and all sorts of strange abilities. Who was strong, who was weak, and who was countered by whom could only be determined through actual combat.
The greatest use of a power level rating was to help newcomers understand their own limits, so that they wouldn't immediately try to challenge ridiculously powerful opponents. That would be better than getting hot-headed and courting death just because the power level rating was good.
For me, the fairies' power level ratings were nothing more than entertainment. Returning to the battlefield would be even more troublesome and fun.
Sarwenstan's assassination didn't end this war. In fact, it was the exact opposite. After the furious Devil Lord recovered slightly, he spared no expense in opening up even more Chaos Dimensional Doors. More and more devil generals and commanders swarmed out under the Devil Lord's summons.
Bardi's human allied army was no idiot. After confirming the authenticity of this information, they unhesitatingly increased the pace of their advance. Both sides clashed against each other, beginning a cruel war of attrition.
The wood spirits' Forest of Dreams also began sending out combat squads to deal with the devils and undead. On the main battlefield, Bardi also unhesitatingly fought against the devil army.
Bardi was a country that had suffered many calamities. The Holy Church had allied together to invade, the Mage Country had become enemies with them, the Undead Calamity's first invasion, and the Undead Calamity's second invasion. Now, the devil army had invaded Bardi. Although it could be said that Bardi was incredibly unlucky, from another perspective, this also proved that Bardi's people and country were astonishingly resilient and powerful. They wouldn't be defeated so easily.
Now that I had successfully escaped from Asolivis, I met with a new problem. The devils and undead following me were far too "passionate". It seemed that no matter where I went, they would follow me to the end.
