The night gradually darkened.
When everything calmed down, the capital, which had been bustling for an entire day and had turned into a battlefield, finally welcomed the end of the massacre.
After Rosie destroyed the [Demon King Enchantment] of the Glorious Palace, not only the six demon dwellers but also the leaders and masters of the other forces rushed out and joined the battle.
Among them were the three goddesses, the Goddess of Justice, and the three goddesses of time and space.
Other than the six demon dwellers who went to support Shien and besiege Helimis, the others stayed in the Royal Capital.
With the addition of these existences, there was no need to say what would happen on the battlefield in the Royal Capital.
When the alchemy demons, demon dwellers, and even the apostles and messengers of the [Original Demon] faced the masters led by the three goddesses, the Goddess of Justice, and the three goddesses of time and space, it was easy to imagine what would happen to them.
Even if the other masters didn't join the battle, as long as any one of those transcendent beings joined the battle, the outcome of the battle would be completely changed.
To put it simply, any one of those transcendent beings could single-handedly wipe out the monster army that was wreaking havoc in the Royal Capital.
Under such circumstances, the chaos in the capital city naturally calmed down very quickly.
All the Alchemy Devils and Young Demons were surrounded and killed by the experts. Not even a single one of them managed to escape the net. They were all killed.
The apostles and messengers of the [Original Demon] were also either dead or injured. Other than a few who were captured alive, the rest of them fell in the Royal Capital, never to leave.
This war that was initiated by the [Original Demon] and ended with the defeat of the [Original Demon] ended just like that.
However …
"How tragic …"
In the night breeze, Shien stood at the highest point of the Royal Palace and looked at the Royal Capital that was shrouded in the night sky as he murmured.
What entered Shien's eyes was no longer the bustling and beautiful night view of the Royal Capital. Instead, it was the ruined scene of the Royal Capital that had just ended the war.
The streets that were usually neat and tidy were now full of potholes, and mud and stones were overturned.
The buildings that were usually grand and magnificent were now dilapidated.
There were bloodstains and corpses everywhere on the ground and walls.
Even the city walls of the Royal Capital seemed to have been flattened and were in ruins. More than half of them had fallen to the ground and turned into rubble.
The smell of blood and the residue of magic power in the air hadn't completely disappeared.
The warriors and mages from all the major forces were cleaning up the battlefield. Some were looking for survivors, some were treating the wounded, and some were moving the corpses. Some were comforting the crying citizens of the Royal Capital and escorting them to a safe area. The entire Royal Capital looked like ruins in the smoke.
Fortunately, the elites of all the forces in the world gathered in the Royal Capital, and there were a lot of talents.
The Elven Mages appeared in every corner of the capital, using the magic they were good at to clean up the battlefield and build safe shelters.
The clergymen of the temple were also rushing to every corner of the kingdom, doing their best to heal the injured.
Under the orders of their superiors, the Knights of each faction carried out their respective tasks.
Because of this, even though the capital was in ruins, it didn't make people feel miserable or uneasy.
However, this did not mean that the matter was over.
Shien mumbled.
The Royal Capital was only one of the cities that was attacked by the [Primal Demon].
The Imperial City was just one of the cities attacked by the Primal Fiends.
Even though it was taken care of and welcomed the most terrifying enemies and armies arranged by the [Primordial Demon], the other cities and countries were also invaded by the [Primordial Demon]'s army of alchemists and demon people.
If it was under normal circumstances, the powerful masters and elites of the major forces would be able to defend against these enemies.
But this time, the leaders, powerful masters, and elite troops of the major forces all came to the Royal Capital. Just thinking about how serious the threat would be for the major forces, countries, and races was enough to make one shudder.
At least, when Shien and the six demon sisters returned to the Royal Capital, the demons immediately rushed back to the Demon World.
With the help of the Goddesses of the Protoss, the leaders and powerful masters of the major forces rushed to their hometowns at the fastest speed and joined the battle to invade their hometowns.
Harvey, Capelin, Lockett, Tilly, Elise, Oz, Maffey, and the others brought their troops back to their respective forces through the space-time tunnel built by the three Goddesses of Time and Space.
Of course, the Mithra Kingdom sent reinforcements. Aridia, the Royal Knights, and more than half of the Royal Knights went with them to help them take down the culprits of this terrorist attack.
War was still going on in both the Human World and the Demon World.
The Divine World was the only one that had not been invaded. It was still peaceful.
As the most special of the three worlds, the Divine World was able to escape this calamity thanks to the decision to not open it to the outside world in the past.
Even the [Original Devil] could not easily open the tunnel to the Divine World and invade the Divine World. This made the Divine World the only world that avoided becoming a battlefield.
However, the Human World and the Demon World suddenly suffered such a great disaster. The Original Devil and other old demon factions that had been harming the world all this time had bared their fangs and launched an attack. Naturally, the God Race joined this war without hesitation. They did not stay out of it.
Lidas, Anima, and Nadura opened the gate to the Divine World and summoned the Goddesses Legion in the Divine World. They also rushed to the battlefield to support the various races and fight against the attack and threat of the [Original Devil].
Therefore, the war in the Royal Capital was over, but the war in the other places was far from over.
Shien originally wanted to take action, but he realized that there was no need for him to do so in the current situation.
With the return of the six great demons, the Demon World did not need Shien's support at all.
The Divine World was safe and sound. It could still spare manpower and send reinforcements.
Although the Human World was under threat everywhere, the champions of the various factions had returned with the Protoss and the Kingdom's reinforcements. It would not be long before the chaos was quelled.
After all, the most threatening apostles of the [Original Devil] had basically all stayed at the Royal Capital. The apostles were either dead, injured, or had fled. Even their leader was on the brink of death and might have died from the poison. The only threats left were a bunch of Legendary-tier demon larvae and alchemists that were not even Legendary-tier.
With the champions of the various factions returning and bringing reinforcements from the Protoss and the Kingdom, it would not be too troublesome to deal with such a level of threat.
With that in mind, the brave Shien did not have to rush to the battlefield. He was left behind by Anxi and Lia to personally guard the Royal Capital.
Who could be sure that Helimis would not go crazy before his death and turn back to the Royal Capital, dragging everyone in the Royal Capital down with him?
The remnants of the Old Demons Faction might take the chance to fish in troubled waters and do something harmful again.
As a precaution, it was necessary for Shien to stay in the Royal Capital.
It was not just Shien. Even Lilith stayed behind and did not rush to other battlefields.
The elves were also accompanying them.
"The Home of the Elves has a barrier personally set by Goddess Naduna, and the Tagore Woods acts as a natural barrier. Those alchemists and demon larvae can't attack the Home of the Elves even if they wanted to."
Sophie, the queen of the elves, had such an opinion.
Indeed, even if the alchemists and demon larvae wanted to attack the Home of the Elves, they would have to think of a way to break through the barrier set by the Goddess of Nature.
Even if the barrier was not considered, the Home of the Elves would still be protected by the innumerable magical creatures in the Tagore Woods. Even if the irrational alchemists and demon larvae tried anything funny, they would still be attacked by the rampaging magical creatures.
Therefore, apart from the Realm of Gods, the safest place was the Home of the Elves.
That was why Sophie brought Reiya and Niya, as well as the entire elven division, to stay in the Royal Capital to help restore order after the war. At the same time, she also sent people to reinforce other forces with the Goddess of the Protoss and the Royal Knights.
This was the current situation.
Shien looked at the Royal Capital after the war, his thoughts heavy.
Not long after, a figure came to Shien's side.
"…"
Rosie stood quietly beside Shien, looking at the Royal Capital after the war with him. Her eyes were full of sadness that was difficult to be noticed by others.
Shien came back to his senses. Seeing Rosie like this, he almost reflexively held her hand.
"Are you alright?"
Shien asked softly.
"I'm fine." Rosie shook her head and replied without turning her head, "The feeling of weakness has subsided. Although I still can't use my power as I please, it won't hinder my movements anymore."
In order to free the powerhouses in the Hall of Glory and cut off the barrier of the Hall of Glory, Rosie finally used her power that exceeded her limits, causing her to become too much of a goddess and fall into a weak state.
Now, Rosie seemed to have recovered a lot, so there was no need to worry.
However …
"I'm not talking about your physical condition."
Shien sighed.
Rosie was silent.
She knew what Shien was worried about.
He wasn't worried about what was wrong with his body, but whether or not he would be too sad.
No matter what …
"The Royal Capital is the place where you grew up, your hometown, the place where those who love you and protect you can stay, right?"
Shien voiced out the sadness in Rosie's heart.
There was no need to ask how Rosie would feel when she saw the ruined Royal Capital and the casualties among the people.
After a moment of silence, Rosie opened her mouth.
"This is not the first time I've seen the Royal Capital like this." Rosie said in a low voice, "Ten years ago, the Royal Capital was invaded by the [Slaughterer Faction], and the important figures of the noble families were killed by the assassins of the Old Demons. At that time, this place was like hell."
Hearing Rosie's words, Shien was also silent.
