Kalumandas, the God of Wisdom, had many Divine Concepts. Just like the other Main Gods, he was also a top-level God King in his own God Faction.
This God Faction was probably the most low-key God Faction in the world. Most Gods in this God Faction were the guardians of books, books, knowledge, and scholars. Kalumandas was viewed as the most neutral God Faction that focused on promoting and preserving civilization and culture.
But when the entire world descended into chaos, when the flames of war burned the entire world, the scholars would no longer be able to hide in their ivory towers. Since they lived in this world, they would have to make a decision in the end.
At the very least, they would have to choose the side that was most likely to win. At the very least, they would have to have some allies that could help each other.
As Kalumandas was a God who didn't believe in any religion, he actually looked down on the fanatical believers of the True Gods. Mages who pursued the truth were the True Gods' natural allies. They had signed an alliance several hundred years ago.
Kalumandas and Kalumandas had agreed that they would stand together in times of need. And now was obviously such a time of need.
Kalumandas was still thinking about what kind of situation would make the mages activate this final alliance when he stepped out of the magic array.
He wasn't afraid that there would be any traps here, because he had long since reached the peak of the world.
But now, he was no longer as confident as before.
This was a battlefield devoid of light. The only thing that filled the entire battlefield was the clash of Main God-level powers.
The undefeatable Chaos War God was being beaten up by a tall giant. The Chaos Demon Lord and Devil Lord were currently tearing at each other. The Gods' battle caused the space here to tremble.
Such a battlefield instantly made Kalumandas raise his vigilance. He also noticed his opponent approaching him.
Kalumandas was quite familiar with the powerful existence approaching him. Sophocles was an old opponent of his.
Both of them were Main God level existences. It was only natural that they had fought against each other in the long years of history. It would be far too difficult for old existences like Kalumandas to improve at a foundational level.
Kalumandas waved his staff in a practiced manner, instantly creating a blue magical shield in midair. This shield was as large and sturdy as a city wall. When he waved his staff a second time, several Air Knight squadrons of elemental spirits appeared in the sky. These knights were controlling over a thousand high-level elemental creatures.
In midair, layers of defenses that flickered with mysterious runes were activated. In a short instant, Kalumandas set up seventeen layers of defenses with the power of the God Equipment.
Kalumandas then stood where he was and gathered his divine power to create a gigantic offensive magic array. He intended to give Sophocles a vicious blow and use reality to tell him that even an old dog like Sophocles still had some teeth, and that Kalumandas wasn't so senile that he couldn't even hold a magic staff.
"Oh no!"
Kalumandas's response wasn't exactly correct. However, it seemed to me that Kalumandas had obviously underestimated Sophocles. He was still judging Sophocles by his old standards.
Right in front of me, Sophocles suddenly split into two. The angel of light transformed into a sharp arrow that pierced through the Elemental Knight's defenses, while the demon of darkness transformed into a hammer that shattered the mage's magic shield.
The seventeen layers of defense were instantly destroyed, layer by layer.
In just an instant, Kalumandas' defense, which he thought would be solid enough, was directly torn apart. Kalumandas was still lowering his head and preparing a powerful offensive incantation.
"Ahhhhh!"
By the time that Kalumandas noticed that the situation was bad, Light and Shadow's meteor had already landed in front of him. He didn't even have the time to react before the meteor pierced through his body, leaving behind a torn body and a pitiful scream that shook the entire battlefield.
At that moment, Kalumandas looked towards me with a gaze filled with disbelief and astonishment. In the end, this gaze transformed into hatred.
"Kalumandas lost? He died? So quickly? "
I couldn't believe what had just happened. Kalumandas had died in a single exchange. Even if he had underestimated Sophocles, Kalumandas was still a Main God. How could he have lost so quickly?
The situation wasn't right. I had just fought against Sophocles. If Sophocles had the ability to instantly kill a Main God, I would have been killed long ago.
Kalumandas' defense had been as weak as paper in front of Sophocles. This definitely wasn't normal. Since Kalumandas dared to set up such a powerful defense and focus on preparing a powerful attack, he must have been absolutely confident. Even if Kalumandas's information was wrong, he shouldn't have been defeated so easily. It was as if …
"… It was as if he directly opened an iron door with a key."
Harloys's words contained a faint hint of hatred, which surprised me. After she glanced at me, she sent me a message.
As it turned out, as the inventor of elemental magic and the founder of magical civilization, the Gold Elves had received much help from Kalumandas. Not only did the Gold Elves worship the Gold Elven Gods, but they also worshipped the Wisdom Gods.
As the Gold Elves researched the truth of magic, the magical Gold Elves and Kalumandas formed a deep friendship. Since both Kalumandas and Kalumandas were undying existences, this friendship actually lasted until modern times.
As expected of the God of Wisdom, Kalumandas was filled with friendliness towards all species that were searching for the truth. In the eyes of these species, Kalumandas never blindly acted as a prophet. He was more like someone who was searching for the truth. He was a trustworthy ally and senior.
Kalumandas was inextricably connected to the Haletdam generation and had a ten-thousand-year friendship with the Gold Elf Empire. Now, he was also an ally of the Mage Country.
During the battle of the Hades, although Kalumandas had been an invader, he had been able to chat and drink tea with us the entire time. One of the main reasons was that not only was he a remnant of the Haletdam generation, he was also Harloys's protector and supporter, which was why Harloys hadn't been killed yet.
And such an existence that was supposed to be indestructible was easily torn apart in front of us, directly torn into two halves?
"Those defenses were the result of the Gold Elf Empire and Kalumandas' joint research. The Mystical Protection Shield, the Harlin Elemental Knight Order's summoning, and the Seventeen-Leaf World Tree's defensive formation are all forbidden magic spells from the Gold Elf Empire. Only the Gold Elves with the royal bloodline are allowed to use them …"
I finally understood what Kalumandas' final grudge was about. Since it was the Gold Elf Empire's secret, he believed that Harloys was the one who leaked his information!
And as far as I knew, although Harloys was quite shameless, had a bad mouth, was always acting like a tsundere princess, and always looked down on my magic talent … Cough, cough, at the very least, she still had a sense of scale in her heart. She would treat those who were truly good to her sincerely.
"Abelard."
I paused in surprise when Harloys said his name in a heavy tone. Who was Abelard? So, she added one more sentence.
"… Didina."
"Oh, so it's your mother … no, your father. Cough, cough, the weather today is quite nice. "
I turned around to see an incredibly grim expression as expected. It would seem that Abelard's betrayal had angered her quite a bit. It would be better for me to say less.
But, it was my turn to have a headache.
Not only did I have to deal with Sophocles, but I also recalled how Didina had given the information to Sophocles. In a way, this was proof that I had just come to a conclusion, a conclusion that would lead to the worst possible outcome.
"Sophocles is Cavendish's true ally!"
