"If faith is so precious, with my strength in the kingdom, won't I get nothing after I become a god?" Merlin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Don't worry. The faith of the entire kingdom is evenly distributed. Even the most powerful god can't take away the divine power that belongs to you. This is the eternal rule of the kingdom," the light giant explained.
"Hearing you say that makes me feel much better." Merlin smacked his lips. "However, the tour and explanation segment ends here. Next, we should get down to business. Where's the thing you promised me?"
"You seem to be in a hurry." The light giant's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate Merlin's eyes and reach his soul.
"Isn't that obvious? Don't think that I don't know what you're up to. You let me enter your world in advance because you're worried that I'll take advantage of both of you, then tell Luo Bu the method to bypass the Soul Flower and become a god." Merlin laughed coldly.
The light giant was silent for a moment before he said honestly, "We're indeed suspicious of you, so we've set the final location in the kingdom. Once you've completed the apotheosis ceremony, you won't be able to leave this place and interfere with the affairs of the human world. We haven't violated the previous agreement. You can treat this as a small safety measure."
"In that case, what are we waiting for?" Merlin said impatiently.
"Don't worry. Your situation is rather special. You've gone through the apotheosis ceremony previously, so there's half a Soul Flower in your body. Therefore, you can't accommodate a new Soul Flower. However, I can't do this alone, so I'll need the help of others."
As soon as the Giant of Light finished speaking, the trees in the forest suddenly swayed. Merlin initially thought that there was an earthquake, until one by one, the Giant of Light walked out from behind the huge trees … and surrounded him. Merlin's vision had turned into a sea of light. The expressionless faces were like carved statues, with the exact same facial features and proportions.
The light giant who first communicated with him said, "If you're ready, let us begin."
In the next moment, half of a small white flower flew out from Merlin's body and rose into the air. The light giants raised their heads and opened their mouths one by one. A huge wave of life force enveloped the small flower, causing the withered half of it to glow with life again.
…
At the Magic Association Headquarters, Lilith flipped through a report she had just received with a serious expression.
This was the summary of the news from all over the world until half a magic hour ago. The things reflected in this report were more serious than most people expected.
Apart from Dardarion in Azure Bay, who received the news half an hour in advance, the other coastal towns were suddenly attacked. The number and strength of the monsters were far greater than the ones on land. Therefore, most of the towns could not resist at all. In less than a quarter of an hour, all of them fell into the enemy's hands.
In such a short period of time, the nearby guards could not react in time. The monsters did not seem to have any intention of resting after taking over the town. Soon, they moved on to the next target. In one night, more than 30 towns fell, and the number of casualties reached tens of millions. The human side suffered heavy losses.
So far, more than two-thirds of the human population had been affected to varying degrees.
It was only when dawn arrived that the various factions gathered enough troops and hurriedly set up a defensive line to stop the monsters from advancing deeper, stopping them at the coastal area. Both sides were now in a stalemate, but just as the commanders of the various armies breathed a sigh of relief, the floating cannons in charge of scouting brought back another piece of bad news.
There were still monsters emerging from the sea along the coastline, which meant that the number of monsters would continue to increase. In this way, it was only a matter of time before the line of defense was breached. After receiving the news, the humans could only grit their teeth and continue to send more troops. This time, the Free city-state, which had the longest coastline, was in the most critical situation.
The parliament had issued a relocation order for some of the towns that were closer to the coast to move inland. They were prepared to strategically abandon a part of the coastline. However, faced with such a large number of monsters, everyone could not help but feel pessimistic.
Lilith, however, was most concerned about another matter. She asked the secretary beside her, "How's the deciphering of the address going?"
Ever since D 'Adrion sent back the part of the pattern, Lilith immediately summoned the association's top experts in magic circles and began to study it. Now, most of it had been restored. All that was left was the finishing touches, but it would not affect the location. The secretary nodded. "President Lilith, the result is out. It's in Solar."
"Solar?" Lilith was startled.
"Why? Is there a problem with that place?"
"Solar means Holy Capital in the elven language. Legend has it that it was the earliest capital of the elves. Until the first elven king led his people on a long voyage, the elves still retained ownership of the city. However, after the first magic war, Solar fell into the hands of humans. Since then, the number of elves living there has been decreasing. Now, there are only a few left." Lilith paused for a moment. "I hope I'm just overthinking it. Tell the address to President D 'Adrion."
The female secretary nodded and left, leaving Lilith standing alone by the window.
When there was no one else around her, the female president's face revealed a deep sense of exhaustion. Since the incident, she had maintained a high degree of calmness. Even when Dardarion and the others were trapped in Azure Bay, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead, she did not show any emotion. She was still actively organizing the Magic Association to resist. However, she was only a mortal, not a machine. Lilith did not know how long she could withstand such pressure.
Just when Lilith felt physically and mentally exhausted, her eyes fell on the cradle next to the desk. She saw a little figure biting his finger, still sleeping soundly. His eyelashes were dyed gold by the morning light. The next moment, Lilith's eyes became strong again.
The history of mankind should not stop here, at this moment.
Because there were still good things waiting for her tomorrow.
The female secretary was in the war room, sending the location information that she had just deciphered to D 'Addarion's team on the alchemy airship. The door behind her was pushed open, and Lilith strode in. The tiredness on her face had disappeared, replaced by endless fighting spirit.
