"There's no victor on the eastern battlefront."
The sun was bright and sunny tomorrow, but the Cloud Tower was filled with worry.
The only piece of good news was that Devil Main God Sarwenstan had died.
"The Dragons attacked us at all costs. Amelia, the Mother of Wood Spirits, and Dunder, the King of the Dwarf Gods, personally helped out. They fought for sixteen hours and finally succeeded in killing Main God Sarwenstan. The Hell Dragons displayed incredibly powerful combat strength in this battle. The legendary Nine-Headed Hell Dragon Evelyn … "
The fairies' news was always timely, especially since the eastern battlefront was facing such an unexpected event. We needed good news to boost morale even more.
Sarwenstan was probably the most unfortunate Main God of all. He had transformed from a Devil Main God into a Chaos Lord, but he hadn't even had two good days before he was forcefully killed.
Even if he had survived, Sophocles would have long since considered him a sacrifice. Sarwenstan wouldn't have been able to survive this.
In this battle, Sarwenstan's death had become nothing more than a side character. The Hell Dragons of the Hades had displayed their abilities as Legendary Dragons and officially received the recognition of the surface dragons. The old Hell Dragon Sam, who had previously been a Supreme Immemorial White Dragon, had finally been able to vent his anger.
Based on what I expected, the Hell Dragons would establish their own dragon cities in the mortal plane and establish stable communication channels with the other countries. This would fulfill their responsibilities as messengers of the Hades faction.
As for Amelia and the Dwarf Gods, this counted as a further cooperation between the Nature Gods and the wood spirits. It was likely that Amelia would soon be given the astonishing title of "Nature Main God".
Successfully killing Devil Main God Sarwenstan was probably the most astonishing combat achievement I had ever achieved in the entire Holy War. It also proved that I had made the correct strategic decision. Having Amelia, the Nature Gods, and the Hell Dragons hold the line on the western battlefront was indeed the best strategy. They managed to take down Sarwenstan in a very short period of time.
"Are you certain that you didn't have any selfish intentions of having Amelia stay away from the battlefield?"
"I'm not the God of Fate. How could I possibly think that far ahead? Still, it's our greatest fortune that Amelia isn't on the eastern battlefront. "
I felt a lingering fear. Normally speaking, Amelia should have appeared on the eastern battlefront. However, just her status as a Chaos Girl would have made Sophocles unhesitatingly choose her as his top target.
I had more or less figured out Sophocles' strange situation, but I still needed some time and evidence to verify it.
It was now the second morning after the "Sophocles Explosion". The fairies' magazines and special reports in front of us all carefully avoided mentioning the battle on the eastern battlefront. They only mentioned that a gigantic explosion had occurred and that the specific details were still being investigated. They focused on the victory on the western battlefront.
Devil Main God Sarwenstan's death would have been an astonishing victory for the entire world several days ago.
But now, we can only temporarily forget the pain of war …
"Haven't you finished analyzing the spatial nodes in that chaotic realm? Did the data for the next level come out? Are there no temperature, atmosphere, or physical constants? "
"Is the rescue team back? Still nothing? "
"Damn it, haven't those unlucky bastards come out from the teleportation room yet? We don't have any more time. This place isn't safe. We need to quickly relocate. "
The mages' courtyards were no longer as leisurely as before. The previously clean streets were now filled with rubble and trash. In such chaos, all rational mages were carefully conserving every bit of mana they could. There were busy people everywhere.
In some ways, the mages' losses were greater than expected.
As the Mage Country's national treasure, the Cloud Tower had lost five of its seven main anti-gravity engines. The Cloud Tower barely managed to float in the air for ten or so minutes before crashing into Bardi's Hake Mountain Range.
70% of the streets were damaged. Due to the collision, more than three thousand residents were injured or killed. The amount of property damage was incalculable.
The most critical part was the permanent damage done to the mage towers. Although the Cloud Tower had survived the explosion thanks to thousands of mage towers and tens of thousands of archmages working together to defend the Cloud Tower, it was likely that most of the defensive mage towers would need to be reconstructed. The Cloud Tower wouldn't have any combat strength for the time being.
On the battlefield back then, all the magic puppets, war puppets, and summoned creatures that the spellcasters had thrown into the battlefield had been completely annihilated. This was an accumulation of decades or even hundreds of meters. If converted into resources, it would definitely be an astronomical loss.
The only thing worth celebrating was that the Cloud Tower had appeared on the battlefield.
That's right, for the Mage Country, the Cloud Tower's appearance on the battlefield was actually a fortunate thing. That was because the Cloud Tower had avoided even greater losses, an irreparable tragedy.
Mages would always leave spatial imprints in their mage towers. When necessary, as long as they weren't too far away from their mage towers, they could easily teleport themselves back to their mage towers. This was often a mage's final method of escape.
The Cloud Tower recorded all registered mages' imprints in their mage towers. The instant that the explosion was about to occur, archmage Leon and the others activated the final sequence and forcefully summoned all the mages from the Mage Country back to the battlefield. This prevented the most serious possibility — a large number of useless archmages dying.
Of course, there were still losses. Teleportation consumed a tremendous amount of energy. Simultaneously summoning several thousand people would consume a tremendous amount of energy, which was another reason why the Cloud Tower had suffered such heavy losses.
However, there was another unexpected event that no one had expected.
Since the public teleportation rooms had limited space, the mages who had just been teleported here didn't even have time to react before someone stepped on their heads. Stampedes occurred in all the teleportation rooms. The archmages' backs were severely injured, and many were still moaning in pain in their beds.
Even so, the teleportation room was still packed to the brim. The tower spirits responsible for teleportation had prepared a backup plan based on the situation, and began directly teleporting the remaining people out … Where were these unlucky fellows now? Whether or not they were still alive in this dimension would depend on us. We would have to wait until we had some free time to check the tower spirits' records.
Even so, being able to survive that catastrophe still made people feel a lingering fear, but at the same time, there was also the joy of being reborn after the catastrophe.
The Mage Country hadn't suffered the greatest losses. Sophocles' explosion had been even faster than a tsunami. All the Bardi Empire's ships that had been docked along the coastline had all been destroyed.
There was no longer any need to search for survivors on the ground. That chaotic dimension was still a forbidden area for the living that couldn't be analyzed. The mages had sent out rescue teams to search the sea in hopes of finding more survivors.
I had a long-distance magical communication with Halent. His expression was rather subtle.
From a certain standpoint, he had suffered great losses in this battle. He could even be considered a loser. But looking at it from another angle, he had mysteriously obtained what he wanted. He had obtained both fame and benefits.
What benefits did he obtain? Sophocles' final attack wouldn't distinguish between friend and foe. Not only did he wipe out everyone on the battlefield, he even transformed his attack into a super powerful shockwave and earthquake that bombarded the entire area with divine power.
The first to be affected was Asolivis, which wasn't too far away from the battlefield … or perhaps I should call it the ruins of Asolivis.
Almost half of Asolivis' city was transformed into a chaotic dimension. The shockwave destroyed the entire city's foundation. The Chaos origin power destroyed all dimensional order. All the dimensional portals were destroyed, and the residents of the lower planes would have to find another way to go to Asolivis if they wanted to.
The devils, demons, and undead armies stationed in Asolivis … The devils, demons, and undead armies that hadn't been protected by powerful magical defenses probably suffered the same fate as Sophocles' enemies. They had long since returned to the Gui Ming River.
The main goal of the Bardi Empire's allied army was to completely wipe out all the dimensional invaders and dimensional portals in Asolivis. This was achieved after Sophocles' explosion.
The irony was that Sophocles had personally brought them to this world, and he had personally taken them away.
The eastern battlefront had far more glorious results than the western battlefront. It was now confirmed that four Main Gods had died: Sophocles, Barbarot, Heimor, and the God of Holy Light's incarnation … Actually, when I saw this list of names, I made up my mind to run as far away as possible from the God of Holy Light's incarnation the next time I saw him. Sophocles was always bombed every time he appeared. He was even more of a calamity than I was.
"It's not the same thing, alright? Karolan was a God with no personality. After someone analyzed his mechanical logic, luring one of his clones to a fixed location wasn't difficult at all. Killing his clones to weaken his main body was the only way to defeat him … Judging from the results, it would be correct to immediately run away from his clones in the future upon seeing his clones. However, he's always bombing wherever he goes. He's definitely different from your Calamity Incarnation. "
The silly cat was still in good spirits. At the very least, she still had the time to comment on me.
It seemed that one person was missing from the list of the dead. Kalumandas, the God of Wisdom? Surprisingly, Kalumandas had survived, but the God of Wisdom had perished. The specific situation was quite complicated, so I won't talk about it for now.
Cough, that was to say, there was no victor in this battle at all … If I had to find a victor, it would probably be Sophocles and Cavendish.
And now, they had officially become the public enemy of the entire world. The Order Faction, Chaos Faction, and Hell Faction had all suffered heavy losses in this explosion. Not to mention that their goal had been exposed, so everyone was eager to cause trouble for them.
But unlike before, as the chaos dimension was analyzed and stabilized, the Bardi Faction would be exposed to the world. Nobody would give them any more time, because that would be the equivalent of the end of the world.
The end of this battle was a sign that a new battle was about to begin. I really didn't know what to say about this.
Meanwhile, the Mage Country's Truth Symposium members were currently focusing all their attention on analyzing the chaos dimension. Perhaps this day would soon arrive.
"Councilor Roland, Councilor Ryan and Councilor Marguerite have invited you to the third conference room."
"Tell them that I'll be there immediately."
I casually responded to the tamed demon's question as I got up and left.
The mages were doing their best to regain their dignity after suffering such a major loss. And the first step would naturally be to analyze their enemies.
