<strong>Battlefield</strong>
The two rank 9s were terrifyingly fast. They’d distanced themselves instantly during the explosion, patiently waiting for everything to end.
“What... is... this?” Leylin looked at the confluence of the two worlds, surprise shing in his eyes. The merged area was devoured under his gaze, reaching a total standstill as the World of Gods and Magus World seemed to reach a perfect bnce. They now looked like a dumbbell, the two worlds joined by this point of confluence.
He instantly moved to this newnd. Everything here had originally been void, but a ck continent had been formed after the st.
“Thews of space and time have crystallised...” Scanning across therge continent, Leylin found that all kinds ofws had grown stable here, the earth more solid than magic alloy while the space was extremely stable. Even Breaking Dawns would find it difficult to fly here, forget breaking through space.
Leylin used thew of original sin to scan the entire continent, finding out its specific area. It was one tenth the size of the prime material ne, without the slightest hints of life in the rocky desert.
“Where did the Overgod and Magus Will go?” Leylin asked Mother Core who was beside him.
“This ce is at the centre of the confluence between the two worlds, having a strange bnce...” Mother Core truly was an existence that had survived the Final War. Her insight and abundant experience allowed her to make sense of the situation, “Although the Overgod suffered serious injuries with the destruction of the Weave, the fight between rank 9s exceeds the limit of myprehension...
“Even if the Overgod is slightly weaker than the Magus WIll, I’m afraid they won’t be able to determine a winner in a short period of time. They should currently be entangled in a dimension we cannot detect, leaving the task of the Final War to the beings ofw...”
“You mean...” Leylin looked at the huge continent below them. Although it wasn’t suitable for life, it did indeed serve well as a battlefield for beings ofw.
“That’s right... With the two worlds merging together, the devouring has reached a deadlock. The rest depends on the power of the beings ofw...”
Mother Core pointed towards the maind, “This is the final battlefield, and of nirvana where the losers lose everything. If we can achieve a pivotal victory here, the Magus Will will be able to directly devour the Overgod... However, the opposite is true as well!”
“In other words,” Leylin muttered, “The power of the World Wills are determined by their inhabitants. The victor of this battle here will determine final victory between the two beings ofw...”
“Correct. With the two-world n and our advantage of advancing first, we have a great advantage right now... Don’t squander it!”
“I’m afraid beings ofw aren’t enough... We also needrge amounts of cannon fodder,” Leylin mused, “We need a regiment of Breaking Dawns led by an existence ofws to take out the lesser and intermediate gods...”
“Our reserves consist of all the Magi across the astral ne. We far exceed the opponent in numbers...”
“We’ll gather our troops, mobilising them for war immediately...” numerous beings ofw promised.
Leylin, on the other hand, was staring at the huge ck continent. This would be the final battlefield, thend of the end. One could imagine how it would be a terrifyingnd of death in the near future.
......
On the other end of the battlefield, space trembled as numerous divine kingdoms descended. They formed a strange beehive-like structure, a sort of tight fortress. Numerous prayers sounded out as holy spirits prepared to defend the maind. The gods hadpletely disregarded all notions of good and evil, fighting side by side.
Armies of elementals entered the battlefield, apanied by demon lords led by the two Abyssal Lords. Massive demonic armies rushed forth.
“The divine kingdoms have descended, and all the races allied together... It seems like the gods are staking everything on this too...” Leylin sneered at the opponents’ formation.
“The final battle is nigh... The scale of this war has already exceeded the peak of our past,” Mother Core added.
“It seems so! We should begin with our arrangements too.”
Numerous Magi ofws roared, the power of the fusedws allowing them to unleash their full strength without the World War Armour.
The same held true for the gods. However, such ‘fairness’ wasn’t actually fair.
“Our determination to forge forward... Everything we’ve struggled to obtain from the astral ne shall be disyed here today. The glory of the Magi will shroud everything!” The Magi roared out loud, opening the channels to world after world.
The Dark World, Purgatory, Icy World... A steady stream of troops marched out of every one, their faces flooded with bloodthirst and determination. The weakest was at the Morning Star realm, equivalent to legendaries in the World of Gods. And that was the cannon fodder!
For the sake of the truth, to advance their truesouls, these Magi set off without hesitation. Terrifying war drums echoed throughout the astral ne!
Arge ghastly castle revealed itself in Leylin’s assigned area, as if a living snake that released bloodthirsty roars.
““Father!”” Two young Warlocks appeared within the huge hall, and Leylin looked at them with a gentle smile on his face. “I only nned to use my umtions in Dreamscape and my avatar’s divine kingdom in this Final War. I didn’t think you’d insist oning, the Ouroboros n was too weak to help.“
Standing in front of Leylin were his two oldest sons, Syre and Daniel. Both of them had inherited his bloodline, benefitting from the power of the Nightmare Hydra. They were close to the realm ofws, just like him when he was at the peak of rank 6.
The early stages of advancement for a Warlock depended almost solely on the strength of their bloodline. In this regard, what could exceed the bloodline of the Nightmare Hydra?
“Are you aware of how dangerous the Final War is? Even Breaking Dawns are still cannon fodder here... What do your mothers have to say about this?”Leylin looked at his two oldest sons. They were already a thousand years old, having be ancestral figures of the Ouroboros n with children and grandchildren of their own.
“The records of the ancient war in the library described it well enough...” Syre and Daniel looked at each other for a bit, before Daniel stood up and spoke, “We told Mother and Aunt before we left...”
“You...” Leylin sighed. He could see a shadow of his past self in the eyes of his children, holding an insatiable thirst for the truth.
Furthermore, it was difficult for a Breaking Dawn Magus to advance to rank 7. Even Leylin had relied on frantically plundering Dreamscape and the World of Gods to make the leap sessfully.
Even though Syre and Daniel had a head start with their bloodlines, they still needed opportunities over a long period of time to bloom. The World of Gods was a shortcut to this. As long as they managed to kill a true god and seize a portion of their godfire or divinity, they would be able to obtainprehension inws directly.
None of the Magi in the astral ne could resist this temptation. It was the reason why so many low-ranked Magi had joined despite the shocking casualty rate.
“I respect your choices...” Leylin looked at his sons, traces of gentleness within his eyes. “However... since you have decided on this path, you will have to be prepared to undertake the responsibility of your choices, regardless of the result...”
““Yes sir!”” their excited voices rang out. They hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly...
Leylin pped his hands once both of them left. Two Lords of Cmity walked into the hall, bowing slightly towards him.
“Follow behind them and protect their lives. I’ll raise your quota for a hundred years in exchange.” The Lords of Cmity were happy with that exchange, and they bowed and retreated.
“The protection of two rank 8s, that shall be it...” Leylin shook his head. These kids couldn’t understand the cruelty of the Final War. Even with the Lords of Cmity protecting them they could lose their lives if they were unlucky enough to meet a greater god or someone of that ilk.
However, Leylin decided not to care about it anymore. He’d given them prior warnings and sent guards. His obligations were fulfilled.
