Outside of Renstadt, the heat of July did not dampen the beauty of the scenery at all.
The space above the Land of Thousand Lakes was suddenly twisted into a gate. Inside the gate was a kingdom where powerful magnetism and electric currents were reflecting each other.
Brook, who was wearing a white wig, and Chelsea Holt, the Silver Moon Scholar, walked out of the gate. Seeing the ocean of holy light that covered the entire city and that the legendary battle inside was still ongoing, they were greatly relieved. They had finally made it!
At this moment, Brook suddenly sensed something. He raised his head and looked at the sky, only to discover that a shadow was slowly appearing in the ocean of light that blocked the sun. He was wearing a sacred crown and holding a platinum staff.
"Benedict II! God's Arrival? "
Brook's pupils constricted violently, but he still flew to the enemy in the end.
He probably couldn't use God's Arrival anymore!
… …
The cluster of energy was moving faster and faster under the attraction of the powerful magnetic field. It was about to enter the storm barrier. At this moment, not just Melmax, even Anasta, Maria, and the other saints had a feeling of extreme danger, as if a heavy stone were pressing their hearts.
They did not communicate with each other, but they attacked Fernando at the same time, determined to kill him before the terrifying spell took effect. They had to remove the storm barrier and get away from the center!
Without any reservation, the three saints all used 'Light of Judgment'. They couldn't have been more infuriated. Even if they were going to die, they would drag him down with them!
Majesty, vastness, order, and brightness, three streaks of 'Light of Judgment' pierced the sky with the air of judgment and hit Fernando overwhelmingly, raising the surging ocean of holy light in 'Paradise on Earth'.
At this moment, none of them were distracted by defense. They resisted the storm barrier with the remaining divine power on them. If they could not kill Fernando, all other thoughts would be redundant!
Melmax and Anthony, on the other hand, melted the power of 'Dawn' and 'Light' with their swords, performing 'Legendary Heavy Break Slash' that only the divine Knight could have!
However, Fernando did not retreat but pressed forward. Ignoring the attacks of the two legendary Knight, he crashed into the three streaks of 'Light of Judgment'.
The mirror that was outlined with complicated patterns appeared again, as if it were a gate that connected two worlds. After three crisp noises, the 'Light of Judgment' bounced back according to the law of reflection.
The effect of the Abrupt Rotation Spell was still there!
Since Fernando took the initiative to face the "Light of Judgment", the two "Heavy Break Slashes" only hit him a moment later.
The Lord of Storm was cut into three pieces, and the magic robe on his body did not have any effect at all.
"He's not even wearing the Ruler's Robe?" It was not until this moment that Melmax finally realized why the Lord of Storm did not use 'Eye of Storm' when he was suppressed!
Unfortunately, he understood it too late!
The three pieces of corpses shone with tiny electric sparks and wriggled rapidly, turning into three Fernando's again!
How could he not die?
Melmax and Anthony did not expect to completely annihilate the Lord of Storm in several seconds with the Light of Judgment. They only had one idea, which was to kill Fernando first and break the barrier of storm!
Seeing that, Mecantron, the Angel King far away, became solemn. Crossing his hands in front of his chest, he was about to kneel and perform 'God's Guard'. In such a way, although they could not hit the legendary sorcerer, the terrifying spell could barely hurt them because they were already in a different world!
However, the one before him was the Emperor of Arcana. The stars in the sky were changing, and the enormous gravitational force was generated abruptly, pulling him and almost splitting him into countless pieces. He had to resist it with other legendary divine powers. In such a hurry, there was no chance for him to prepare 'God's Guard'.
"I'm not your master. Don't kneel before me."
Douglas's telepathic voice echoed. He was unusually humorous for once. His target was Benedict II, an expert in the demigod level, but now it was the Angel King who was not on Mountain Paradise. Naturally, it was much easier for him. According to Plan IV, if he encountered the pope, he would immediately create the current situation. Even if the pope could still perform God's Arrival, his target would definitely be the casting materials, or the five saints would be annihilated together!
However, Douglas did not know how long he could stall the pope. Ten seconds? Twenty seconds? Or one minute?
As Plan III went smoothly and Sardes unexpectedly performed 'God's Arrival', Lucien's concern disappeared.
The holy light inside Varantine's body burst out and melted the frost that was freezing him. However, he was wise enough not to go to the barrier of storm. Instead, he launched 'Light of Judgment' at Hathaway, the Lord of Elements, in an attempt to interrupt her casting.
"Aurora Wall!"
As the cold female voice echoed, a sparkling and translucent layer of ice appeared beside Hathaway. It was a gorgeous multicolored layer of ice, as beautiful as the aurora in the north.
When the 'Light of Judgment' hit the ice layer, the two disappeared at the same time.
While the Witch of Iceland was maintaining the space shackle outside of the barrier of storm, she was still able to stop Varantine. That was the distance between a grand arcanist and a saint cardinal!
The five saints were already fighting with their lives on the line, and they had the upper hand in terms of strength. In just a few seconds, 'Light of Judgment' and 'Legendary Heavy Break Strike' hit three Fernando's. Even though Fernando had cast 'Legendary Armor' and 'Electromagnetic Storm', he still could not block all the attacks. In the end, his real body was devoured by a cold and merciless light.
Is he dead?
No! The five saints were just overjoyed when they found that the barrier of storm was not dispelled at all.
A puppet engraved with many strange symbols flashed behind them with an inexplicable smile, and it quickly turned into Fernando's appearance.
At this time, the casting materials went through the barrier of storm, and the destructive power inside could no longer be contained.
Fernando's body exploded and merged with the barrier of storm. The black magnetic field compressed and twisted the space, binding the five saints tightly.
There was no time!
Melmax made the correct decision. He turned on 'Divine Shield' and 'Holy Avenger'. As long as it was not God's Arrival, he would not be killed even if it was a strike from a demigod!
Behind him, the four saints realized the situation they were in, too. Their expressions were serious and slightly panicked. They activated their defenses, such as "Divine Shield" and "Blessed Realm".
Hathaway finally finished reciting the long incantation and said in an aria:
"Eternal Blaze!"
At this moment, Fernando saw that the faces of the five saints were all "pale" because of the bright light from the energy cluster. Suddenly, Fernando remembered something that Lucien once joked with him, "Don't worry.
"Cry, scream, and then die!"
An extremely bright and dazzling light burst out from the energy cluster.
… …
In the Parliament of Nobles in the Nekso Palace …
The arguing nobles of the liberals and the conservatives all quieted down, not knowing what the queen was going to say.
Natasha took a deep breath and revealed her determination to charge to the end even if she was faced with a strong enemy and an enemy's Knight Legion. She drew the Sword of Truth and waved it upward, declaring:
"I swear to the Lord of Hell with my soul and fate:
"I will return the power to the nobles who follow me. I will only keep the financial power and personnel power in the territory directly under the royal family!"
What was that? The nobles were all stunned.
"I will give the power of justice and legislation to the Parliament of Nobles. I will only keep the veto power. Neither I nor my descendants will take it back!"
"I will give the power of administration to the nobles. The prime minister of the Parliament of Nobles will select the ministers and form a cabinet. I will only keep the veto power over the prime minister's choice!"
"I will give the command and personnel power of the Adjudication Knight Legion and the Holy Cross Knight Legion to the cabinet. I will only keep the control of the Sword of Truth and the title of the lord of the two knight legions!"
"The taxes and administrative agencies of the nobles' territories will not be canceled, but you will have the right to decide the usage of the taxes!"
"The nobles who lead the Knight Legion to develop the territory will be given one third of the territory as their fief. The other third will be divided among the Knight Legion, and the last third will belong to the kingdom!"
…
"Those promises will be recorded in the Code. I and the future king and queen will abide by them, just like the regular nobles! The implementation will be supervised by the Congress of Magic! "
Boom. Lightning and thunder seemed to be rumbling in the nobles' heads.
In the past, because of the external suppression of the Church, the Congress of Magic, and other forces, they had to stick close to the royal power in order to fight for a better living space. However, sometimes, the royal power was too domineering that the nobles' rights had been reduced to the minimum. Faced with such a situation, for stability, balance, and the future, they could only secretly complain and dream. They had never expressed any objection.
However, today, Her Majesty had made concessions and significantly weakened the royal power. It was even better than the best situation that the nobles had imagined!
The eyes of Duke James, Duke Solefen, and the other nobles suddenly glittered. The muscles on their faces were slightly twitching, and they couldn't have been more excited.
In the sizzling electric current, Natasha's passionate speech echoed in the Parliament of Nobles in the Kingdom of Colette, the Kingdom of Brianne, the Duchy of Calais, and the Northland Coastal Corridor:
"I swear to the Lord of Hell with my soul and fate:
"I will return the rights to the nobles who follow me, and I will only keep the financial and personnel rights of the territory directly under the royal family!"
…
Yourcenar, the Song of Dusk, stood up from his seat. The nobles around him were also excited. It outlined a beautiful future!
Hearing Natasha's speech and seeing the nobles' reactions, Grand Duke of Calais put on a bitter smile.
Hammer of Void, Knight of Calamity, Life Reaper, and Burning Lady had similar reactions as Yourcenar.
… …
After hearing Natasha's speech, Duke Solefen, Duke James, and the rest of them all stood up, but some of the ultra-conservative nobles were still hesitating under the influence of Duke Rex.
"Your Holiness?" Rex suddenly saw the shadow in the high sky.
He was about to speak, when a deafening explosion burst out, as if countless lightning bolts had hit the ground.
A sun rose outside. It was so scorching and so terrifying that it drove away the holy light and announced a new life!
Boom!
The unimaginable explosion sounded a horn in the nobles' heart.
"It's' Eternal Blaze 'of the Congress of Magic!" Natasha looked at the nobles with immense pressure and shouted the last roar before the charge.
"It's a new era ahead of us. Everything old will be abandoned after all!"
"Who agrees with my decision and who disagrees?"
Looking at the queen who was glamorous but intimidating, they couldn't help but think of the benefits that they would get if they followed her. Looking at the scene where "Paradise on Earth" was quickly falling apart and the enormous mushroom cloud outside, including Duke Kritonia, Duke Solefen, Duke James, and the other nobles all fell on one of their knees. Duke Rex was the only one who was still sitting where he was.
He sighed softly and looked at the 'Sword of Truth' in Natasha's hands. Finally, he knelt down and said at the same time,
"We swear to follow Her Majesty!"
… …
With the structure in hand, Lucien soon cracked the defense of the center of the divine power barrier. Hardly had he stepped in when he heard the deafening sound of the horn. Knowing that 'Eternal Blaze' had exploded as he expected, he became more relaxed and turned on the divine power barrier to the maximum in case the civilians of Renstadt suffered. He hummed a tune in a low voice:
"The east is red, the sun rises …"
