The world was dark and chaotic. Two thousand years had passed since the birth of the abyss, and the originally quiet abyss had gradually become lively.
In the dark space bubbles, countless abyss devils were shuttling. There were devil lords who were powerful enough to communicate with the abyss and control an entire space bubble. There were also countless little devils with chaotic wills who only knew how to devour each other.
Some of the devil lords fought with each other and constantly devoured each other. They connected the space bubbles and formed an abyss layer that was comparable to a continent.
If one wanted to break through to the fourth level and connect with the abyss to become a devil lord, the essential structure of the soul fire must be changed. This was no longer something that could be achieved by devouring other devils.
Some devils who contacted Maria's World found that human consciousness and souls were the key to becoming a fourth-level devil lord. If they wanted to climb to a higher level, they would need to devour countless human consciousnesses. This made countless devils look at Maria's World with greed.
Every powerful devil coveted Maria's World, a land of life. As a famous devil lord in the abyss, Stikua had a large number of dependents and devil followers in Maria's World.
In the Mara Kingdom …
The dark castle was submerged in layers of weeds and dead trees. It was an abandoned castle. There used to be the shadow of a village outside the castle, but now it was deserted.
At that moment, in the ruined castle, dozens of people in dark red cloaks stood in a circle. On the ground was a huge witchcraft array that looked like an eye.
The ten people standing in the center of the evil formation all cut their arms and poured their blood into the grooves of the formation. Immediately, the special power in the blood was activated. The whole formation began to spin, and a black light swept up from the ground, enveloping the entire hall of the castle.
This was an evil sacrificial ceremony. As the power continued to envelop the hall, everyone was transformed into non-human monsters. Several people standing in the center of the altar were instilled with a large amount of power. Two of them transformed into powerful devil dependents, extraordinary creatures.
"Heckfoss, I need more sacrifices. If you want more power, if you want immortality, do everything you can to sacrifice to me!
"More offerings, more power!"
The face of the leader was revealed. It was a slightly old face. It was Heckfoss. In the Tuten Dynasty, the power of the Church of True God had not improved after being suppressed by the alchemists of the city of Sheehan and the underworld priests of the Temple of Sky.
Heckfoss set his sights on the more distant western world and Zhongzhou. Not long after arriving here, the Church of True God encountered the war and chaos in Zhongzhou.
"Praise you, my master!"
"The great Demon King, Stikua!"
"I will establish a kingdom that belongs to you on this land!"
"Reclaim the Central Plains!"
"Glory to my homeland!"
"In the name of God, let the light once again shine upon the land that belongs to God!"
The third-generation Pope of the Church of Light, Armenia, shouted a slogan from the Temple of Light, declaring the will of God. The entire army of the Kingdom of the Church of Light was immediately dispatched, and the various kingdoms and principalities, which had been ready to take action, immediately responded to the call of God.
A large number of priests, nobles, and even kings and grand dukes led their armies across the border and poured into the Central Plains, especially the three principalities of Rose, Kvell, and Gragu, which bordered the Central Plains. These principalities had been in conflict with the Sumerian Kingdom in the Central Plains for many years because of territorial and religious issues. This time, they had formed a coalition of three principalities and launched a war against the Sumerian Kingdom in the Central Plains.
The world, which had been peaceful for more than a hundred years, was once again broken. A large number of nobles and knights picked up their swords and spears, put on their armor, and rushed to the battlefield. Soldiers once again left their homes.
Every war represented an opportunity. Some people could leap from farmers to nobles with large fiefs, and even from sons of nobles to kings and grand dukes.
In order to deal with the invasion from the south, a large number of soldiers and mercenaries were hired and sent to the battlefield. Mercenary groups and squads rushed to the battlefield. Today, they fought for the kingdom. Tomorrow, they would protect the territory of another noble, and the day after that, they would attack another count for another grand duke.
Countries, large and small, were constantly annexed and disappeared in this war. Many countries quickly surrendered after the arrival of the Knights of the Church of Light, while a large number of countries resisted stubbornly.
In this war, in addition to the confrontation of various priest groups and knight groups, the priests and knight groups composed of extraordinary forces released large-scale divine spells and tore the battlefield apart. There were also alchemy cannons and flintlocks refined by alchemy warlocks that displayed their powerful combat potential on the battlefield.
At the same time, an existence called the Storm Mercenary Group rose in the war. The leader of this mercenary group, Lynn Ahenaten, continued to rise in the war. Finally, in a war, he replaced the original Kingdom of Urabell and established his own Kingdom of Mercenaries. He was the first mercenary to ascend the throne and become a king.
The Ahenaten Kingdom rose in the Central Province. Lynn took out the Sword of the King and claimed to be the Chosen King. Countless mercenaries came to join him, and many Holy Knights who were scattered outside came to join him. Soon, he established a huge kingdom.
However, the Ahenaten Kingdom established by Lynn lost again and again in the war with the expeditionary army of the Church of Light in the south. More than half of the countries in the central province gradually surrendered to the Church of Light and accepted the Church of Light's garrison and faith. The territory of the Kingdom of the Church of Light expanded rapidly.
On the other hand, the Storm Mercenary Group led by Lynn was retreating in defeat. Even with the support of several Orc Kingdoms in the north, they couldn't turn the tide. The flag of the Church of Light and the Knights galloped across the entire Central Province.
The flag of the Church of Light was planted all over the central province. Countries that originally believed in the Faith of the Sun all went to the arms of the Church of Light. A large number of Knights and priests of the Faith of the Sun were either killed or driven away.
At this time, the Sumerian Kingdom, which was about to become a kingdom, broke out with great power and defeated the allied forces of Rose, Kvell, and Gragu on the Sumerian Plain, instantly changing the situation.
The allied forces were defeated. At the same time, the Sumerian Kingdom began to expel the priests and Holy Knights of the Faith of the Sun and the Church of Light, demolish the churches of both sides, and forbid people from believing in the Faith of the Sun and the Church of Light. Moreover, they stationed troops at the border.
As a result, the Knights of the Church of Light and the Ahenaten Kingdom, which had been fighting fiercely, immediately stopped fighting. Both sides withdrew their troops and stabilized the situation. The situation in the central province suddenly became strangely stable.
The Kingdom of Mercenaries Ahenaten, the Sumerian Kingdom, and the Kingdom of the Church of Light in the central province formed a tripartite state.
