Chapter 867: Final -
Although for various reasons, the current script did not follow the game rules set by the Supreme Will.
For instance, guiding the Fades to challenge those Fragment Kings who have long lost value, slaughtering and looting those Demigods, seizing the Great Runes they hold... These concepts have more or less become "common sense" over the long years.
And then—
The Fades who accomplish this series of feats can then take these fragmented Magic Ring Fragments to repair the broken Elden Ring, thereby being crowned and becoming the new King Elden. It seems that after doing so much, it is all about striving to earn the qualification to repair the ring.
In this way, no matter how the fate of the Boundary Land twists and turns, it ultimately boils down to the same end.
Changing over and over, in the end, is a change of tonic but not remedy...
And precisely because it departed from the script and did not follow this predetermined fate, there are still rampant Demigods on Gaelid’s desolate battlefield who have not been subdued. Even the grand feast originally prepared to ceremoniously send off General Shuixing has temporarily been shelved.
Firstly, some hope that a turnaround will occur under the new law era and new grace, perhaps General Ratane’s condition might improve.
Secondly, as the strongest Demigod, his fame is so frightening that even the recently renowned Heroes of Steel, when thinking of this Demigod’s name, still feel rather lacking in confidence. After all, he is a fearsome person capable of sealing the sky and suppressing Stellaris with his own power.
Also, during the Fragmented War, he shone the brightest, fighting against Valkyrie Malenia to a mutual defeat until the end—the latter even forced to release the parasitic Crimson Corruption inside her, polluting the entire continent of Gaelid, causing the swamps of Crimson Corruption to overflow across the land, with twisted plants and corrupted life everywhere.
Even so, Valkyrie Malenia, who was nearly transformed into the Corruption Goddess, was almost beaten to death on the spot by General Shuixing!
Such a ferociously powerful Demigod now, deeply enshrouded in madness and chaos due to Crimson Corruption’s erosion, has lost all former rationality. It is hard to say whether he has become weaker or more dangerous, as confronting such a fierce force is indeed quite challenging.
Perhaps it’s admiration, perhaps it’s fear, or perhaps other reasons.
In any case, nobody wants to challenge General Shuixing at this moment, even the most ambitious schemers consider if the risk of falling early on Gaelid’s decayed land is worth it when they may have a chance to ascend to King Elden beforehand.
Hence, it naturally becomes the result that until now, General Shuixing is still wandering the land of Gaelid, and the Gravity Magic that seals the sky remains unbroken.
However, human strength eventually has its limits—
In the face of the Supreme Will’s rage, directly bringing divine retribution upon the Boundary Land.
The sky, sealed by Gravity Magic, shattered in an instant.
After all, the Supreme Will may not care about the Boundary Land but that does not mean indifference. When attention is redirected, it immediately detects that unfamiliar high-dimensional power, certainly not the former Black Moon or any Crimson Corruption...
If these opponents could be easily defeated, the Supreme Will would not pay much attention.
Just as it disregards the decay and desolation of the Boundary Land, it also does not care whether Valkyrie Malenia, hosting Crimson Corruption, will become the next King Elden, as long as all is within its game rules.
As long as everything operates within its rules, according to its established guidelines, these actions are naturally permissible, and thus it does not take note.
But now it’s different because the enemy appearing this time... possesses power strong enough to threaten the Supreme Will!
Although unprecedented, unheard of, and unknown what kind of existence it is, or if it comes from a further end of the stars, traversing through the Star Sea, this one point can be confirmed. —That vast Spiritual Will, projected into the lightless dark sky, can stir a storm of madness in consciousness and electrons, sacred yet seeming saintlike.
Hence, it’s no wonder the reaction of the Supreme Will is so drastic.
Thus—
Doomsday fire descended from the firmament, atmosphere trembling, sky burning, countless malicious meteorites striking and emitting intense light and heat as they collided with the air, roaring and crashing onto various places across the Boundary Land. The massive disaster, in a way exceedingly familiar to the Boundary Land’s inhabitants, descended from the heavens.
Each of these malicious meteorites is a huge meteorite with the supreme destructive force showcasing pure destructive power, falling at incredible speed, each sufficient to annihilate a continent’s ecosystem, erasing all signs of life!
When that time comes, the Boundary Land will turn into a sea of fire, people and life on the ground will vanish. Volcanic ash and impact dust will ascend tens of thousands of meters high, covering the world’s sky.
Not to mention the essence of each meteor is like a "landing pod" —
The aliens born from the dark beyond the lightless starry sky are hidden inside each of these "landing pods".
Even if they survive the first wave of extinction-level strikes from the meteors, they would still face the second wave of extinction launched by these terrifying beings... These gigantic abominations from space almost all possess unimaginable terrifying power, among which the outstanding ones in the past had demonstrated the capability to obliterate the Eternal City.
Countless malicious meteorites howling down.
At this moment, the few living beings left in the Boundary Land feel nothing but overwhelming despair.
But immediately following, the night descended, and that cold and dark mysterious moon hung silently high, slowly rotating to reveal the huge mechanical structure behind it. This scene was even more astonishing and bizarre, but what made people tremble in fear was the casually displayed Power.
In just an instant, the entire burning sky was "frozen"—
All the meteors that were violently rubbing against the atmosphere and burning brightly suddenly halted their downward momentum, forcibly suspended in the sky at corresponding heights...
Along with them, the Fallen Star Beasts also stopped.
Meteors of all sizes hovered in the atmosphere, like the scenery of mountains on Pandora Planet hanging upside down in the air, combined with the backdrop of a burning "blood-colored sky"... At first glance, it was an incredibly magnificent painting, enough to capture the soul!
"Gravity Magic..."
Someone gasped, inhaling sharply.
"I see... Is this the true Divine Domain?"
This formidable Gravity Magic, is it several times stronger than the Power with which General Shuixing Ratane sealed the sky? It seems that even the wrath of supreme Will cannot shake the Shield that envelops the entire world?
In a way, this assessment is not wrong. It indeed counts as a variant of "Gravity Magic," but it is produced by the ultra-spec Force Field of the Interstellar Weapon Module within the Mechanized Moon, filled with the gravity magic of this world, greatly enhancing the precision.
Using the internal super function named "Gravity Well," the Mechanized Moon, as the Caster of gravity magic, effortlessly adjusted the Force Field and resealed the sky!
"Roar—!!"
The Five-Headed Dragon King let out a roar, its gigantic dragon heads spewing forth streams of golden dragon breath!
Like immense golden lasers sweeping across the sky, streams of dragon breath oscillated, forming a firepower blockade, instantly turning many Fallen Stars to ashes and dust, along with the Fallen Star Beasts, who couldn’t even utter a scream, disintegrated into basic particles!
This is the true Power of King Elden before the Golden Tree Era, when everything thrived!
Even though later severely injured, with only two heads left, able to preside only in the time-space crevices, the Dragon King was still a formidable being. Not to mention now, in full strength with all five heads, the Power of Dragon King Platonsank is absolutely not something ordinary stellar alien creatures can match.
And from the crevices of time and space, within that nation ravaged by storms, other Ancient Dragons also descended on the scene. These immensely powerful Life forms spread their wings that could unfurl storms, emitting dragon roars filled with tremendous Power, and spewing fire or ice, lightning breaths, mercilessly shattering the meteors in the sky!
War flames burned from the ground—
Spreading into the burning blood-red sky.
The apocalyptic disaster of destruction was easily curbed, and the morale of the coalition forces on the Rodeland battlefield was revived, charging forward with great momentum. They conquered with unstoppable force, prepared to break through the Royal City, directly targeting the body of the Golden Tree, with no reason to retreat!
The majestic Royal City walls were pushed down, revealing the remnants of the gigantic petrified Ancient Dragons inside the Royal City, towering like mountains!
Columns, spires, towers, and palace complexes spread wide, surrounding the central super crater like stars surrounding the moon, extending and overlapping, majestic and grandiose, a marvel of weather. And the Golden Tree that rose from the center, is like the ancient sky pillar supporting the whole world!
"Kill!"
"The Law of the Moon has descended!"
"Stellar Era! King of the Night!"
In this moment of battle without remorse, every person in the coalition army held no reverence for this... They waged war to overthrow it all, trample it all, smash the old world order into pieces, and build a new world upon the ruins!
Boom—!!
The earth trembled, just as the Royal City was completely breached, and the host of golden heroes failed to save the day, falling instead before the unstoppable momentum of the coalition forces.
As if sensing danger, as if Life was rescuing itself, it might also be some command given by the supreme Will.
The Golden Tree, like a towering sky pillar, began to tremble, creating a terrifying force of stone-shattering and mountain-crumbling, causing valleys to crack, the surface to fracture, with thousands of miles of fissures spreading across the earth like shooting lightning!
The bark cracked open, revealing the unexplored Domain inside the giant tree body, for the first time displayed to the world.
It was a space shrouded in golden light.
A vague silhouette appeared within it.
It was the figure of a Goddess hanging as if in suffering, like a crucifixion, suspended in view...
