At the beginning of the new year, the weather in the Kingdom of Holm was still gloomy and cold. It seemed that it had been a long time since it was sunny. In Allyn, the City in the Sky, a layer of bright mist gradually spread out, forming a hazy world around. In the darkness caused by the mist, stars rose in mysterious trajectories and constructed overlapping magic circles together.
All the magic steam trains to Allyn received the order to stop where they were. All the sorcerers who returned from the outside world or were about to leave the City in the Sky, after witnessing the mist, understood from their common sense that the defense of Allyn had been opened and that they could not barge in.
Some of the sorcerers who happened to be caught in the defense, after a moment of dizziness, found that they had been moved to the streets of Allyn.
"Why has the defense of Allyn been opened all of a sudden?"
Be it the members of the Highest Council such as Atlant, Erica, or the grand arcanists such as Oliver, the Hand of Annihilation, or the Lord of the Undead, all the experts who sensed the changes of the City in the Sky were greatly surprised.
However, they had just received a message from Hathaway, who was guarding the City in the Sky, Douglas, and Brook, the Emperor of Control, that the defense of Allyn had been temporarily opened for an important and urgent reason, and it would be back to normal in forty minutes at most. By then, they would be informed of the reason and be investigated by the Highest Council.
Oliver and the other members of the Highest Council were not angry about that, because according to the regulations of the Congress of Magic, when there was no time to inform other experts of an emergency, the grand arcanists who guarded the City in the Sky only needed to ask for the consent of the President or the Deputy President to make a decision. At this moment, neither Douglas nor Brook objected to it.
Therefore, they were confused about what exactly had happened and why Hathaway did not have time to inform them. That had never happened before. After all, the legendary sorcerers all had their own demiplanes that were connected to the magic tower of Allyn. It was very convenient for them to communicate with each other.
Worries, speculations, and other feelings were brewing in their hearts. Suddenly, they saw a sun rising in the mist and illuminating the whole place!
Under the sunlight, green mountains that rose into the clouds appeared one after another in the mist. There were also dense and thriving black forests, clear lakes that were as tranquil as a mirror, and lawns that were like carpets. It seemed that the entire Castle in the Sky had been transported to another world.
"Linthod?"
"Land of Truth?"
"Mirror World?"
Different words flashed in the minds of the experts, but they all meant the same thing. It was the demiplane of Douglas, the president of the Congress of Magic and the Emperor of Arcana!
It had actually appeared in the prime material world?
It was not impossible. With the help of magic circles, Oliver and the other grand arcanists would have no problem. However, what was the point? Demiplanes were like alternate dimensions that would be rejected by the main material world. Even if they appeared here directly, it would be no different from a projection or borrowing power. It would be a pure waste of time and materials.
Before they could figure it out, another shocking change took place in the Land of Truth!
The blue sky where the 'sun' was hanging suddenly turned dark, and the 'sun' became smaller and smaller until it was only slightly brighter than the common stars.
The boundless universe arrived. Stars, planets, asteroids, and comets all revolved according to the law of celestial bodies, connecting into galaxies and nebulae. There was not the slightest light in some of them, as if even the light had been swallowed. It was the ultimate darkness.
"The celestial body motion system … Is this part of Mr. President's cognitive world?"
Because of the blockage of the defense, Oliver could only see the external part and make a judgment based on that.
"The combination of the demiplane and the cognitive world in such a way … Perhaps …" Vicente, the Lord of the Undead, thought hard about the possibility without any precedent and vaguely had a guess.
After the unexpected incident just now, the few legendary sorcerers who were not far away had already contacted each other through their demiplanes and exchanged their opinions.
Such an anomaly had never happened before, so it was particularly intriguing. Recalling that Lucien Evans discovered the sun a few months ago, how could the legendary sorcerers not have guessed it?
At this moment, the real sky suddenly darkened. The citizens of Renstadt immediately felt that they had come from noon to midnight.
"The sky in my place is dark too …" Erica, the 'Master of Transformation' in Cocus, the capital of the Duchy of Calais, looked at the inky sky outside of the window, her voice shivering with intense disbelief.
"What? It's dark in Cocus too? "Oliver repeated in disbelief.
They had all experienced and witnessed the half-solidification and solidification of their cognitive world many times in person. They knew that the anomaly caused by the advancement into the peak of legendary could only affect a small country at best. Wasn't the widespread darkness too unbelievable?
Very soon, they received feedback from the branches of the Congress of Magic everywhere:
The sky in the Kingdom of Brianne was dark!
The sky in the Pearl Islands, the Solar Islands, and the nearby seas was dark!
The sky in the north coastline and the surrounding areas was dark too!
At the same time, the Holy Helvetic Empire, the Schachran Empire, the Duchy of Orvarit, the Dark Mountain Range, the Moonlight Ocean, the Boundless Ocean, and the rest of the places were mired in utter darkness both day and night, as if the sunlight had been blocked and swallowed by something!
In the Holy City, Melmax, the 'Holy Avenger', was obviously stunned. At first, he thought that a certain saint had advanced into the peak of legendary, but he soon denied the idea. With his strength at the peak of legendary and his grasp of part of the defenses of the Holy City, it was impossible that he could not sense the overwhelming 'grace' that had arrived. On the contrary, the range that he could monitor was unusually peaceful!
"What happened?" Melmax raised his head and looked at the sky, trying to find a clue from it. In the meantime, he began to activate the divine power circles of the Holy City in case of the enemy's assault. He had to do it whether or not Benedict III gave the order. It was the responsibility of the captain of the Temple Knight Legion that was stationed in Lance.
In the dark, lightless sky, stars that looked both real and illusionary glowed brilliantly, but they were also indescribably hazy and mysterious.
They revolved slowly in the sky, carrying the air of eternity.
"This is … This is the Starry Sky of Destiny!" Although Melmax was a Knight himself, he had fought sorcerers for years and knew them very well. Therefore, he recognized the background of the starry sky very quickly.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted violently. An illusionary star in the sky glowed and eclipsed all the other Stars of Destiny. Then, the star dropped a brilliant and flickering light and darted to the ground far away like a scorching laser.
Melmax turned around abruptly and appeared outside of Benedict III's residence in the blink of an eye. He had a strong feeling that something bad was going to happen!
"What? His Holiness is praying and will not be disturbed by anything? " Faced with the red robe who guarded Benedict III's residence, even Melmax, who boasted the demeanor of a Knight, was more or less out of control.
Did he not sense the shocking anomaly outside?
The red robe shook his head. "His Holiness did not give any orders."
"Then, go in and report it. I believe that you've seen the changes in the sky." Melmax urged him while he searched for the source of the anomaly with the help of divine items.
"The City in the Sky? Douglas is trying to break into the demigod level? "Melmax's right hand seemed to be gripping his longsword hard.
At this moment, the trajectory of destiny that was covered by Douglas, Brook, and the rest of them had become clear. After all, everybody had seen the anomaly!
"Lord Melmax, I used the emergency communication method, but His Holiness did not respond at all …" The red robe seemed rather panicked.
Melmax calmed down. "I'll go to Allyn first. Maybe His Holiness went to stop it when it was dark and did not have time to inform us."
He could only comfort himself in such a way. How could His Holiness be unreachable at such a critical moment? He was not in an alternate dimension after all!
Inside the Dark Mountain Range …
"What? You can't find the Primordial Ancestor?" Dracula glared at Danisos with his crimson eyes. They had been alarmed by the anomaly in the Dark Mountain Range too.
The wounds on Danisos' back hadn't healed yet. He said angrily, "I can't find or reach out to him. 'The Observer' is gone too."
Beside him, the Demogorgon of Eyes, the Elder Mind and the other Legendary champions could not help but feel a headache. Although they knew that their Chairman was' not very reliable 'and that there would be a tragedy where all the members would go to great lengths to find the Chairman, how could it happen so quickly …
The Elder Brain thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the President has already arrived in Allyn. He's very close to the Congress of Magic. Douglas must've asked him to protect him in secret before he became a demigod."
"That should be the case … We have to take a look too. Chances are that we can learn something from the process." Ogre was both frustrated and delighted.
Similar scenes were happening in the depths of the Boundless Ocean and the ninth level of hell. As for Abyss, the Demogorgon of Darkness could not allow the Will of Abyss to arrive at the main material world without being prepared.
… …
A dazzling Star of Destiny dropped a narrow, long, and dazzling light at the center of the cognitive world and the Land of Truth.
"Mr. President is trying to break into the demigod level …"
Oliver and the other legendary sorcerers already understood what was going on. They watched the process attentively in shock and wariness.
… …
In the projection of the Dark Mountain Range in the World of Souls …
After the Lord of Hell jumped out of the volcano, the fire of hell that was burning furiously on the ground surged toward the spherical magic circle. In the projection of the ninth floor of hell, the great devils arrived one after another, forming a legion that looked like a tide.
Caught unprepared, Fernando only had the time to stop Maltimus with Storm Barrier but could not stop the other devils and the Fire of Hell.
At this moment, a cold wind that seemed to come from the darkest and dirtiest place blew out of the power of the World of Souls that the spherical magic circle absorbed. Immediately, the Fire of Hell died out, and the great devils attacked their companions crazily or tortured themselves in pain …
The strong sense of familiarity made Viken, who was fighting the Silver Moon in the high sky, freeze his eyes. He's here too?
It's his lower body, Monster Viken!
Although he couldn't leave the Realm of Gates yet, he could temporarily reveal his power in the World of Souls through special arrangements!
