The cool breeze from the Alps blew through the Sacred City, lifting the cloudy mist lingering above the city like a veil away and revealing the clean city with golden lights under the clear night sky. The luxurious palaces, brightly lit streets, unique buildings, and glowing towers that resembled a network of blood vessels when looked down upon from above were brimming with life.
To the east, the Sacred City was leaning against a mountain. The tall peak resembled the back of a dragon, and allowed anyone upon it to enjoy the night view of the entire Sacred City.
Normally, the walls of the mountain would have some reflections of the lights in the Sacred City, but the mountain was currently pitch-black and had blended with the empty night sky, as if it had been devoured by something!
More shockingly, everyone in the Sacred City could clearly see the outline of a figure on top of the mountain, although they could not see the silhouette of the mountain itself!
Many people on the busy streets were staring at the top of the mountain.
They initially thought it was an illusion because of the dark, but after confirming the sight with others, they realized there was indeed a figure on the mountain. It stood tall under the night sky, projecting an eerie aura!
“It’s really a person!”
“I told you. My eyes aren’t trying to trick me.”
“I saw lots of Judicators gathering at the Sacred Residence. Did something serious happen?”
Lots of discussions were taking place on the streets.
The security of the Sacred City had never been so tight. Many Judicators and Great Judicators were on the move. Was the figure standing on the mountain the reason?
—
“He’s here.”
A man with blond hair and beard waiting up on a tower slowly rose to his feet. He looked past the luxurious city and focused on the figure on the mountain.
“Head Angel, are you sure he won’t do anything reckless? He’s… an Emperor-level existence after all,” the Angel Raphael looked up and asked respectfully from where he was standing below the tower.
“Yes, an Emperor!” Head Angel Michael exclaimed. For some reason, his emerald eyes flickered with passion.
Emperor-level, how many Emperors were there in this world?
The Sahara Desert, the Bermuda Triangle, the South Pole, Mount Kunlun, the Amazon, and the Pyramid…
Each Emperor occupied a huge portion of the world and monopolized the rich resources there, while humans were trapped in their cities like caged animals.
How much of the world did human cities occupy? Less than one percent!
The rest was divided among the demon creatures. Weren’t the Emperors the main reason humans were forced to stay in their cities, since even Forbidden Mages did not dare to challenge them?
