In the boundless snow-covered mountains, a group of black silhouettes were fleeing at high speed.
Just as they crossed a low hill, one of the black silhouettes suddenly stopped and shrieked in delight.
"There's movement!"
In her shriveled, pitch-black right hand that was as thin as a chicken's claw, a silver-grey metal ball flickered rhythmically.
"Protect!"
Another tall black figure took off the black robe on his body, revealing Sofia's muscular and stocky body. He held an ebony staff that was as thick as a child's arm in his hand, looking like a fiend as he stood beside the Poison Centipede Endor.
Mary's large bat wings spread out, and her entire body slowly floated into the air, immediately taking in the surrounding scenery. Insect Lich Bliss tossed Tigule away, letting him fall into a pile of snow that was half a metre deep. He then turned into a buzzing black fog, forming a thin ring that protected Sophia and Endor within.
As for the 13 Thorny Scorpions, they were constantly roaming around underground, searching for possible enemies … …
Just as the Magi finished their preparations, the metal ball suddenly shone brightly. The intense white light was mixed with a glaring red, making it difficult to look at it directly.
Spatial fluctuations rippled in the air, and a male and female Magus appeared, hugging each other tightly. At the same time they appeared, an indescribably large wave of energy was transmitted over.
* Bang! *
After a terrifying explosion, the people who were guarding Endor's side were swept away by the shockwave of the explosion. Insect Lich Bliss was caught off guard, and was sent flying a hundred metres away, landing with his face covered in dirt.
However, just as the Magi got up from the ground and were about to ask about the outcome, an even louder and more terrifying sound echoed in the air.
The heavens fell, the earth split, and the world turned upside down!
This world was about to be destroyed...
Almost every Magus could not help but have the same thought.
In their line of sight, a huge pillar of dust and mud suddenly rose from the Steel City that stood on the peak of a mountain twenty kilometres away. Berserk Void energy seeped into every corner of the Steel Capital, clashing intensely with the Planar Laws, destroying each other in a frenzied manner.
That was why the clash of Void energies and dimensional laws directly affected the buildings on the surface of the Steel City, as well as the main body of the city hidden within the mountain.
Energies collided and annihilated each other in every corner of this steel city. A series of explosions even shook the entire mountain, causing it to crumble and fall apart.
Boulders fell and rocky peaks collapsed.
The towering statues of the gnome predecessors in front of the gates of the Steel City also crumbled like this shattered world, sending huge pieces of rubble tumbling down.
Due to the previous Eternal Ritual, the hundreds of thousands of goblins living in Steel City had long been slaughtered, so they did not have to suffer a second time.
Amidst the apocalyptic explosion, there were no weak figures struggling in pain and wailing in pain!
A huge mountain range that stretched for tens of kilometres collapsed, as if all the support within it had been sucked out. Dust and snow powder mixed with thousands of miscellaneous items did not even have the chance to fly into the sky before they were corroded by the intense Void energy that shot out from the belly of the mountain, turning them into tiny particles that were hard to see with the naked eye.
Then, with a terrifying explosion that shook the heavens and the earth, all the tiny particles with intense energy radiation were swept up by the powerful kinetic energy and shot in all directions.
For a moment, the entire sky turned dark red like blood.
Amidst it were thousands of strange ribbons of light that streaked across the horizon.
The Steel City no longer existed. With the collapse of the mountain, the once tall and majestic metal buildings sank into the belly of the mountain. When the thousand-meter-long cliff collapsed layer by layer, the last traces were buried in the gravel and soil that were close to a hundred metres thick.
As for the accumulated snow on the mountain peak, it had long since been vaporized by the berserk energy into moist water vapour, and there was even a small drizzle.
In the face of this terrifying natural disaster, the Magi who were still within the range of the energy explosion immediately flew away as fast as they could.
Grim had used up all his energy underground, and it was only with Mary's support that he was able to fly close to the ground and the treetops. Alice was also stunned by the huge energy ripples. She leaned weakly on Endor's body as she flew across the sky on her flying broom. The Berserk Witch Sofia was sprinting on the ground with all her might. Her speed was not any slower than the people in the sky.
Tigole did not have this ability, and could only be wrapped up by the Worm Witch Bliss, turning into a cloud of black smoke that quickly traveled underground. However, the black smoke would drill out of the ground every half a minute, giving Tigole a chance to breathe.
Otherwise, Tigole would probably have suffocated to death underground after traveling for nearly a hundred kilometres.
As they fled, the mountain collapsed along the way.
They saw with their own eyes a towering mountain behind them collapsing into a bottomless pit. A huge pillar of dust wrapped in thousands of broken wood and debris chased after the wizards like a huge wave that could topple the mountains and overturn the seas.
Only when they were a hundred kilometres away did the terrifying energy wave finally run out of energy, and its speed gradually slowed down.
The Magi took the opportunity to find a lone peak and stopped to rest for a while. They quietly watched the giant grey wave drown the land and forest at the foot of the mountain as it surged forward.
In the blink of an eye, the mountain they were on became an isolated island in the grey sea. Everything around them was shrouded in grey energy dust that was difficult to see through.
This was not ordinary dust, but energy dust formed by the combination of Void Energy and matter from the Plane World. It contained terrifying energy radiation. Ordinary creatures exposed to this dust would either choke to death or be killed by the high radiation.
As far as the eye could see, there was no longer any living creature in the world that was shrouded by the grey sea. Regardless of whether it was a strong forest beast or a terrifying flying beast, it was impossible for them to escape the damage caused by the energy radiation.
In the distant sky, a few birds that had escaped from the depths of the mountain range were chirping and flying away.
Unfortunately, the terrifying grey dust was everywhere under them, and they could not touch it at all.
Flying at high speed for a short period of time made some of the weaker creatures unable to withstand it, and they flew lower and lower instead. When their bodies came into contact with the floating energy radiation dust, the birds immediately raised their necks and let out mournful cries.
The terrifying radiation caused their flesh to wither and their bones to corrode. The originally beautiful feathers on their bodies lost their luster at a speed visible to the naked eye. Large chunks of skin and flesh peeled off their bodies like molting, revealing the crimson flesh and internal organs underneath.
The birds that were entangled by the radiation dust no longer had the strength to struggle free.
They flew lower and lower, gradually falling into the grey sea, wailing as they sank until there was no more sound.
Faced with such a scene, the Magi could not help but look grim.
If it was like this in the periphery, the energy radiation in the core area of the explosion would only be stronger and more terrifying!
The explosion that occurred in Steel City had probably deeply affected the entire Goblin Plane.
This was no longer a paradise for the Goblins!
… …
The tragedy that occurred in Steel City quickly spread throughout the Goblin Plane.
The area within a thousand miles was shrouded in a thick cloud of energy radiation, and anyone who barged into it would not be able to return alive. Thus, the Goblins who had rushed to the rescue gathered in the surrounding Goblin cities, anxiously waiting for the cloud of radiation to dissipate.
How did this tragedy happen?
There were several different versions of this question among the Goblins.
Among them, the most popular was the Magi invasion theory.
The Goblin Audio Drawing described that evil Magi from another plane had invaded the Goblin Plane. In order to save the world, the great Prince Gaz Rüwe was forced to detonate the Space Furnace after a fierce battle with the enemy, perishing together with the invaders.
Of course, there were even more chaotic versions.
For example, some Goblins had a rumor that the evil Magi had been invited by Gaz Rüwe in order to unite the Magi to fight against the Goblin royal family. Thus, the three sides fought in Steel City, and the Space Furnace was affected during the battle, causing an unexpected explosion.
Apart from this version, there were twenty to thirty other rumors spreading at the same time. Almost every one of them was described so vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. But no matter how the versions changed, the evil Magi were the main antagonists, and the Goblins won in the end. This was the common ending of all the versions.
It had to be said that at this moment, the Goblin Plane was in a strange situation of a group of dragons without a leader.
Although the 'Venture Capital Company' that Gaz Rüwe had founded was known as the largest force in the Goblin Plane, all the higher-ups and combat elites of this goblin force had been sent to Steel City to defend against the Magi and the Dragonmen, who were outsiders.
Now, with an earth-shattering explosion, everything had been reduced to ashes, and the former 'Venture Capital Company' had become a headless snake. Although they still had a large force and a considerable combat force in the region, the true higher-ups had all been wiped out, and thus they could not avoid being ambushed by the local tycoons.
As for the Goblin royal family, the most powerful leader, Princess Vanessa, had already 'died' in Steel City. Her two younger brothers were not of age, and were still goblin shotas who had lollipops in their mouths and played war games on wooden horses with snot running down their noses.
It was a joke to ask them to stand up and lead the Goblin Empire that had fallen into extreme chaos.
Thus, the wounded God of War, Tichole, who had escaped back to the Goblin royal family with Vanessa's corpse, became the savior of the Goblin Empire. And the six Magi from another plane who had returned with Tichole quickly caused the Goblin Empire to fall into internal strife.
Some Goblins were clamoring for war with the Magi, believing that they had brought disaster to the Goblin Plane. Some Goblins were already scared out of their wits by the tragedy in Steel City, and requested to negotiate with the Magi. As long as the Magi were willing to retain the status of the Goblins, they were willing to treat the Magi as honored guests, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
