In Lily’s limited understanding of the world, she could not explain what had happened to her, but it did not affect her judgment: she knew the glow was something positive. With it, she could probably finish the rest of the journey.

Therefore, she took the glow of her body as a unique, powerful skill of the alpha and immediately ordered all the airships that she could contact to move closer to the main balloon. As long as they did not collide into each other, the glow would be able to protect everyone.

What she had to do next was to accelerate toward the distant continent.

Unlike real popes such as Hao Ren who had studied the text, she was unable to control the Light of Order at will. She got her current physique only after eating the food from the divine realm, and her body would glow like a passive light source once entering the realm of Chaos. Without control, the glow could grow to cover a great distance, even reach up to the vicinity of the high-flying, magic-powered Sacred Hammer.

The situation of the Sacred Hammer was not looking good. This powerful warship might be the pride of the sanctum, but it was also merely the creation of the mortal. Facing with the absolute power of Collow, the Sacred Hammer would shake like a leaf, literally. Since Calaxus had discarded the magic panels by blowing them away, the ship was now relying solely on the magic stones stored onboard to power itself. The stones could increase the speed and stability but could also cause some protective circles on the spacecraft to run below capacity. Once protection was reduced, the Chaos may be able to exploit the ship’s weakness.

After struggling for ten minutes, a breach finally appeared on the protective circle of the lower deck of the Sacred Hammer. The breach might be hidden damage caused by a previous hard landing or a result of the insufficient power supply. A plume of dark smoke had infiltrated the battleship through this breach and caused terrible consequences.

The monster was launching an attack from inside the battleship.

The Servants of Chaos seemed to emerge out of thin air as they suddenly filled the crew quarters and attacked the weakest zone of the magic-powered warship. The crew on the lower deck were not combatants. They were maintenance personnel. Facing with the surprise attack of the chaotic monsters, they could not even alert the people on the upper deck.

In just a few minutes, the monsters of Chaos had taken the lower deck. The cargo bay was full of monsters, and the isle splashed with the crew’s blood. When the wizard apprentices of the magic-powered furnace finally discovered what happened down there, it was too late.

Monsters were infiltrating along the gaps and passages of the warship. The furnace tower and the goddess’ statue had temporarily stopped the advances of the Chaos, the continuous attack of the Chaos on the barrier would bring down the protection sooner or later.

When Calaxus heard the tragedy on the lower deck, he seemed to be non-reactant. It was not that he was indifferent to the casualties, but that something more shocking had appeared in his sight:

The clouds under the magic-powered warship were breaking open as a pure white glow came out from it. In the core of the white light was a big blue balloon, the one that Calaxus thought the storm had ripped apart.

Lily looked up at the magic-powered warship overhead and could see an explosion in the belly of the ship followed by a plume of black smoke sneaked in through the hole. After a few minutes, red liquid began to drip down through the gaps in the warship. She was amazed that the beautiful looking and sturdy aircraft was so shabby what it started to swing from side to side like a drunkard.

Lily could hear the creaking of the warship from below.

The husky maiden’s ears flickered as she looked at the horrible sight of the battered warship above. After some thoughts, she asked the old demonic ape, “If the thing explodes, will the debris hit us?”

The old demonic ape thought for a moment before saying, “It seems it will.”

“Then shall we fly above it?”

“As per Alpha’s wish.”

“Inform the firefoxes to flame up!”

The disaster of the Sacred hammer was still unfolding as the damage was spreading. The energy supply of the warship had dropped, causing the protective range of the furnace to reduce. It could cover only half of the hull now, while the statue of the goddess at the rear was only used to protect the engine. In other words, half of the spacecraft was under the control of the Chaos.

The monks and wizards repositioned their defenses and guarded the main passageways, hoping to use their mortal bodies to stop the chaotic monsters’ invasion. But their blood was limited, and those monsters that could emerge from the air were endless.

Galaxus could already hear the cracking in the middle hull as the Chaos began to destroy the spacecraft. He gripped the Mithril wand so hard that his fingers turned pale. A sacred power burst out from his body, protecting the front portion of the ship. But that was all he could do.
