Two days later, the Deity of Gods finally rose to a height of nearly five thousand meters.
From afar, it looked like a mountain cone stuck in the clouds, casting a shadow that covered a third of the Kingdom of Dawn and brought forward the afternoon dusk by a few hours.
If not for the higher-ups being prepared, ordering the civilians to not go out and imposing martial law in the various cities, just this phenomenon alone would have caused order to collapse.
After that, the Deity of Gods slowly moved towards the southeast of Graycastle. The moving shadow outline created a distinct "twilight line" on the ground. Although Silent Disaster and Sky Lord were unable to control the core instruments, they had no problem shutting off the Red Mist valve. That was the only good news — at least it would not scatter Red Mist everywhere.
Other than monitoring the movements of the Deity of Gods, the Witch Union and the Administrative Office of Graycastle did not slack off. With the cooperation of both parties, they traversed more than half of Graycastle in a short span of two days, sending a magic power core and the relevant operators to the route that the floating island would take.
After opening the sealed wooden crate, Roland met Celine in the temporary warehouse in the camp.
[Phew … even if the carrier doesn't need to breathe, the sensation of being transported in such a narrow space is unbearable.] She unfurled all the tentacles on her body, as though she was stretching her body.
"It's been hard on you," Roland said sincerely. Of course, he knew what it felt like to be sealed in a wooden crate, especially for people with claustrophobia. The experience was definitely enough to drive them crazy. If not for the urgency of time and the large bomber that could transport heavy loads was still being assembled, he would not have used such a method to transport the ancient witches.
[Compared to the sufferings in the past, this bit of discomfort is still acceptable.] Celine turned left and right. [Come to think of it, I'm even more surprised that you want to cooperate with the demons. Your Majesty.] She bent her main tentacle and suppressed the voice in her consciousness to the minimum. [Are you sure you want to do this? They are enemies without any humanity or pity, and deception is a common occurrence to them. To be honest, if not for your suggestion, Alethea would definitely have refused to accept the order. ]
[Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.] Roland replied seriously in his consciousness. [The Deity of Gods must not land in the territory of the Four Kingdoms. We cannot afford such a loss. "
"Choosing the lesser of two evils is a choice that the Three Chiefs often have to make. Celine's voice suddenly became much softer. "I trust your judgment. "
"Fortunately, Alethea is not the one operating the core instrument," Roland said with a bitter smile. "Otherwise, I would have a headache."
"That's where you're wrong." Celine smiled. "She did complain a lot after hearing this, but it was Alethea herself who stuffed me into the box. "
Roland was stunned, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
[Alright, where's the Senior Devil you mentioned? I couldn't wait to board that floating city. "
"Uh …" This reaction was slightly out of his expectations. "You actually want to go up?"
[Of course! This was a chance to research a brand new core! Using the God's Stone of Retaliation to gather magic power and transform it into a super buoyant force, just thinking about it made people excited! Celine's tone suddenly changed. "What's more, it's a city of demons, a city! During the entire Battle of Divine Will, no one had ever managed to break into a demon city, let alone occupy it! "
"Alright, what you said does make sense …" Roland turned and walked towards a corner of the warehouse. "Follow me."
After passing through a specially-made door, Hackzord and Serakkas were waiting in the middle of the room for the operation to begin. They were surrounded by dozens of God's Punishment Witches, and both sides stared at each other. Although they were cooperating, neither side could feel at ease.
"This is …" The moment he saw Celine, Hackzord raised his brows in surprise. "The carrier of the underground civilization? A witch fused with it? "
"Haven't you done similar experiments?" Roland asked curiously.
"Only Nassaupelle would willingly turn himself into a monster." Sky Lord didn't seem to want to continue on this topic. "Since you're ready, let's begin."
"The details of the operation have already been discussed. Now that everyone is here, I will repeat the main steps." Roland looked around. "The core that controls the Deity of Gods is located at the bottom of the obelisk. It's filled with Red Mist, so the main operators are the God's Punishment Witches and the First Army. The possible enemies are the Symbiotic Demons, which are also Monstrous Beasts. Therefore, do not advance rashly. The First Army will set up defense points at key locations, and only approach the core after the surroundings are safe. The main mission of the God's Punishment Witches is to protect Celine, so I'll leave this to the two of you. "His gaze landed on Phyllis and Zoey.
The two bowed in unison. "Yes."
According to Hackzord, due to the early implementation of Plan B, there were currently hundreds of thousands of Inferior Demons and thousands of Mad Demons that had yet to leave. They obeyed the senior lord and did not pose much of a hindrance. As for the Senior Demons that obeyed Mask, they had already been "convinced" by Silent Disaster. The only thing that could not be controlled were the Monstrous Beasts that had been created. Even though Hackzord had already closed the door to the hatchery, no one knew how many Guardians were still roaming the city.
"Then … set off!"
Roland ordered.
Hackzord snapped his fingers, and a dark magic screen unfolded behind him. At the same time, a veil-like Red Mist surged out.
The two senior lords were the first to disappear into the Distortion Door.
Next were the God's Punishment Witches and Celine.
Following that, the side door of the warehouse opened, and a thousand soldiers carrying all kinds of equipment entered the portal.
The plan to seize the city had officially begun!
…
"This is … the interior of the demon's city …" Celine could not help but sigh. This was the first time she had stepped into the enemy's core area, and it was also the first time she had seen the obelisk at such a close distance. Even though she knew that it was extremely large, she still felt a little shocked when she saw it up close.
Especially when they were at the bottom of the huge crater. This Red Mist Tower that rose from the Mist Lake and was hundreds of meters wide was like a pillar that supported the heavens.
"What do you plan to do?" Phyllis asked as she looked around warily.
[First, I have to connect my perception to the control core.] She looked at the magic core that revolved around the obelisk above her head. [The core instrument can change its structure to achieve different abilities. As for whether to use "Insight" or "Balance" to connect, we will only know after trying. ]
"Balance? Isn't that the name of the Magic Stone? "
[In a sense, there is not much difference between the magic core and the Magic Stone. The biggest difference is the scale and the degree of complexity. In fact, after reading Miss Isabella's research manuscript, I even feel that witches are not that different from them. We all use the same method to drive magic power.] []
Phyllis was silent for a moment, then skipped this topic. "What happens after I connect it?"
[Once I connect it, I will be able to further analyze the demon's core structure, just like how I use the Magic Stone to analyze the witches' abilities. His Majesty's request is for it to land smoothly, so I should be able to achieve that by slowing down its effects. This is much easier than creating a new ability.] []
"Lady Phyllis, Lady Celine," Brian said as he walked over. "The First Army has finished setting up the defense. The rest is up to you."
Celine nodded and then inserted the main tentacle into the magic core that she had brought with her.
Soon, the core began to emit a dazzling blue light. It slowly stood up from its inverted state and floated in the air.
A thin thread silently appeared, slowly crawling toward the obelisk. This peculiar scene attracted everyone's attention. It was like a spider's silk hanging above the Red Mist Lake, as if it had existed for a long time, and only now revealed its outline.
