The War God was indeed the War God. He had even calculated the timing perfectly. Coincidentally, it was the Harvest Festival, a special period where the population was highly concentrated. The poor and the weak would have a better chance of survival under the protection of the strong, and the casualties would be minimized. The War God had also accurately grasped Baiyi's mentality, knowing that he would not sit idly by and watch the people die.
Even the details were impeccable. The Kitty Cat Maid that was given to Baiyi was soft and adorable, which suited his taste very well. The Law Fragment that Baiyi had been given to read was empty, so it allowed him to understand what the Law Fragment was and what it was like to read it without revealing too many secrets.
Baiyi had a feeling that even if he had seen through the War God's plans, he would still have willingly entered the fray. Be it the tempting prizes or the millions of civilians who were struggling to survive, Baiyi would not have given up on them.
This was a conspiracy to save the world, not a conspiracy to harm people. The War God was, after all, a benevolent deity who did not view mortals as ants. In a world where deities did not require faith to exist, the War God was a rare and precious god.
Why would such a god cooperate with a heretic like Baiyi? This was yet another one of the War God's schemes.
However, this was all in the future. Right now, time was of the essence. Baiyi found another two Law Fragments that had appeared during the disaster, and after reading them, he realized that they were no different from the first one. Other than giving him a headache, there was no other benefit. It was obvious that the War God would not give him the chance to learn more about the Law.
Baiyi did not find anything else, but he did not discover any other dangers either. This was good news, was it not? Baiyi used the War God's Sword to teleport back to the sky above the Royal City. By then, most of the Law Fragments had fallen from the sky, and under the command of Laeticia's banner, the refugees were making their way towards the Royal Palace in an orderly fashion. Many of the nobles' private soldiers and the Royal Guards were there to maintain order. The refugees were lined up according to the order of arrival, and the wounded were separated to a side to receive aid from the Church.
Baiyi took a second look at the crowd and realized that his earlier warning had worked. Although some of the families of the nobles were well-informed and had lined up at the front of the queue, there were still quite a number of people who had lined up at the back. The carriages that were loaded with their belongings were all parked at the side of the road. They did not block the road, and no one dared to come over and fight for a spot.
If he had not been so aggressive earlier, he was sure that the situation would not have turned out like this. The carriages would have formed a long queue, waiting for the nobles to transfer all their people and properties to the carriages. Only then would the commoners be able to get their hands on the carriages. That was why they insisted on not releasing the news in advance. Of course, Baiyi would not let them have their way. He did not want to save the wealth of the nobles.
However, some of the nobles' families, who were stuffed with all kinds of coins, jewelry, and luxury items, were still cursing at Baiyi. They complained that he had allowed them to mingle with the commoners in such an undignified manner. Some of the shrews even threatened to teach Baiyi a lesson and make him pay for their losses.
Of course, Baiyi did not pay any attention to these commoners. He flew straight to the transporter formation. There were obviously more people bustling about than before. It seemed like the warning he had given earlier had worked. The Scholar Hammerhead Shark was so busy flying around that it did not even have time to pay attention to Baiyi. The two of them did not need to pay attention to each other. Little Mia was the only one who found the time to turn around and smile at Baiyi before she lowered her head and continued with her work.
Judging from the completion rate of the transporter formation, Baiyi could tell that it was working quite efficiently. Everything else had been taken care of, and the situation had stabilized. Baiyi could now devote himself to the process of repairing the transporter formation. With his help, the efficiency of the process would definitely increase.
Just as Baiyi was about to bend down to deal with the troublesome issues that Little Mia and the others were having trouble with, King Rowan had already arrived from the banquet hall. When he saw Baiyi, he walked up to him with a face full of gratitude and respect. "Master Hope, you truly live up to your reputation. Even your students are no exception."
The king's attitude was very natural, as if Baiyi's disrespectful behavior had never happened.
Baiyi squatted down beside the transporter formation and smashed the ice block on his right hand, revealing a gauntlet that looked like it was about to fall apart. A burst of mana surged out from between his fingers, and as he repaired the transporter formation, he replied to the King without raising his head, "Your Majesty, you flatter me."
The King's condescending attitude caused the other ministers to protest. They opened their mouths to say something, but the King waved a hand to stop them. Instead, he maintained his humble demeanor and said, "Thank you for your efforts. Our nation will forever remember the help you and your students have given us."
In the beginning, the King had been a little displeased, but when the angel arrived and was told that the angel who had helped him so much was the peasant girl who had been with Baiyi, the King no longer dared to disrespect her. When he arrived at the teleportation portal, he saw a furry plushie overseeing everything, while Baiyi's two adorable students were the main force in repairing the portal. King Rowan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
This dusty Master Hope was the epitome of a savior, and so were his students. Perhaps only someone like him could save Isythre from the hands of an Abyss Lord. King Rowan thought.
I wonder what kind of expression he'll make when he finds out Baiyi's true identity as the King's enemy.
"Words cannot express my gratitude. The kingdom owes you a great debt of gratitude. If we are lucky enough to escape this ordeal, in the future, we will …" The King continued to ramble on. Baiyi raised his frozen left hand impatiently and said, "We'll talk about this later. Right now, I need to focus."
The King was not displeased by Baiyi's attitude. Instead, he politely led his ministers away, thinking about how to keep Master Hope in his kingdom. After all, the Royal Family, which had been impoverished for so long, needed a strong person like Master Hope to support them after they left Isythre.
Should he marry his daughter or niece to Baiyi? But he's a Soul Armature. What's his attitude toward marriage? Or should he let one of his sons marry one of Baiyi's students? Hmm … that's a good idea. Although his three students don't have much of a family background, two of the older ones are extremely beautiful, and the younger one is especially cute. I think I'm not mistreating my son … The king started to have his own wishful thinking in his heart. He did not know that if he dared to put his idea into practice, it would definitely bring disaster to the kingdom that was even more terrifying than the falling of the floating island.
Just like that, after another three hours, the core of the teleportation circle had been completely repaired. All that was left was to wait for the completion of the related parts before it could be put into use. Mia and Tisdale finally had a chance to catch their breath. The two little ones were so tired that their faces were pale and the back of their dresses was completely soaked in sweat.
A few servants quickly brought a long sofa into the room. Baiyi hugged the two girls, his heart aching for them. He sat down on the sofa and said, "You've done well. Very well. I'm so proud of you, my excellent students. You've saved millions of lives!"
"Ugh … My head's spinning … Sharkie … Where's my Sharkie?" Little Mia, who was completely immersed in the performance, had not fully recovered from her daze. She was still in a daze and did not realize what kind of feat she had just accomplished.
Tisdale, who was slightly older, obviously did not know what it meant either. She even struggled out of Baiyi's arms in disgust and said unhappily, "Teacher, you're freezing! It's so cold …"
Baiyi was instantly embarrassed. Where was the majestic demeanor that he had when he commanded the dragons and the nobles to retreat? In an instant, he seemed to have reverted back to his usual conservative father. He quickly left the two girls and asked them to lie down on the sofa to rest. Afraid that they would catch a cold, he took out two blankets from his storage pouch and covered them with them.
He quickly ran outside and picked up Laeticia, who was still in mid-air, and found Attie, who was still busy outside the palace. Together, he brought them to the teleportation portal.
At that moment, the last part of the teleportation portal had been completed under the guidance of the Scholar. The charmingly naive hammerhead shark plushie nodded at the sorcerers who were busy wiping their sweat and flew back to Little Mia's arms. The Scholar's consciousness then left the plushie.
"How was it? Was it completed in time? "The Scholar said proudly in the Void, and the crowd cheered.
"Tsk, I didn't expect those humans to listen to your plushie, and I didn't expect our Fifth Walker to be so good at saving the world. You're so good at everything …" The Lich Walker admitted his mistake in judgment. In fact, if this task was left to ordinary people, even if the teleportation portal was completed in time, the people outside would not be able to evacuate in time. He did not expect Baiyi and the Scholar to work so well together.
"Of course! We're the omnipotent Voidwalkers!" The Scholar said excitedly and proudly.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The teleportation portal is about to be activated. Is the energy reserve enough?" Baiyi changed the topic.
"Yes, I've confirmed it before," The Scholar said confidently.
