Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Two days later, the Deity of Gods finally reached its maximum height, almost 5000 meters above ground
From a distance, it resembled a cone permanently fixed amongst the clouds, its downcast shadow blocking out a third of the Kingdom of Dawn, resulting in an earlier nightfall by several hours.
If not for the prior preparations done by the higher-ups and the order passed down for the civilians to stay indoors, with martial law imposed on the various cities, just the sight of the Deity of the Gods would had caused social order to collapse.
Following that, the Deity of Gods began moving towards Graycastle, the moving shadow outline formed a new distinct ‘day and night line’ for the people on the ground. Although Silent Disaster and Sky Lord were unable to operate the core apparatus, they were able to close the Red Mist valve, which could be considered the only good news. At the very least, they prevented the spillage of Red Mist everywhere.
Besides monitoring the Deity of Gods, the Witch Union and Graycastle’s Administrative Office did not stay idle. The alliance of both parties were able to transfer a magic power core and an operator up onto the floating island after traversing the majority of Graycastle in a short span of two days.
Opening the sealed wooden crate, Roland saw Celine inside the temporary warehouse.
“Phew… Although I don’t have to breathe, the feeling of being transported in a narrow space felt terrible. ” She extended her tentacles, as though performing a large stretch.
“It was tough on you,” Roland replied earnestly. He knew how it felt to be sealed and be immobilized inside a wooden crate—such an experience was enough for someone with claustrophobia to go crazy. If not for the urgency, they would have waited for the large aircrafts to be completed as a mode of transport and not agree to transporting this ancient witch using such a method.
“Compared to the things we suffered in the past, this little discomfort is nothing.”Celine looked to her left and right. “Come to think of it, it is even more surprising that we are actually collaborating with the demons, Your Majesty.” She lowered her main tentacles and consciously suppressed her voice to the lowest. “Are you sure of this? They are heartless and merciless enemies; cheating and lying is considered ordinary to them. To be honest, if this idea didn’t come from you, Alethea would have never agreed to this.”
“Relax, I know what I’m doing,” Roland used his consciousness and replied seriously. “The Deity of Gods absolutely cannot fall onto the Four Kingdoms, we cannot bear such a loss.”
“To choose the lesser of two evils, this is something the Three Chiefs had to frequently do.” Celine’s voice suddenly turned more gentle. “I believe in your judgment.”
“Fortunately, the one to operate this apparatus isn’t Alethea.” Roland laughed bitterly. “Otherwise I would be in for a huge headache.”
“That is where you are wrong.” Celine smiled. “After learning of the matter, she was definitely furious, but the person who stuffed me into the crate was none other than her.”
Roland was surprised, and warm emotions surged in his heart.
“Alright, where is the Senior Demon you spoke of? I can’t wait to go up the floating city.”
“Erm…” Her reaction was out of his expectations. “You really want to go up there?”
“Of course! It is a new opportunity to study a brand new core! To utilize the God’s Stone of Retaliation to control magic power and transform it into a powerful buoyant force, the thought of it thrills me!” Celine’s emotions took a huge turn.“And that is a Demon city, a city! One has to understand that in the entire history of the Battle of Divine Will, no one has ever attacked a Demon City, much less occupy one!”
“Fine, what you said is indeed very reasonable…” Roland turned and walked towards the corner of the warehouse. “Follow me.”
After passing through a unique door, Hackzord and Serakkas appeared in the middle of the room waiting for the mission to begin. They were surrounded by 10 God’s Punishment Witches and both parties were constantly eyeing each other—although it was a collaboration, both parties could never be at ease with the other.
“This…” The moment he saw Celine, Hackzord raised an eyebrow in surprise. “The carrier body of the underground civilization? A Witch merged with it?”
“You’ve never tried it before?” Roland asked out of curiosity.
“Only Nassaupelle has the interest and joy in turning himself into a monster.” Sky Lord did not seem to put much thought into the question. “Since you’re ready, let’s begin.”
