Chapter 47

The next moment, the Pyro Archon asked the doubt for him: "Why isn't it Ei who came?"

Raiden Makoto's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled, "Since Celestia has ordered us, the Seven Archons of the mortal world, it cannot be done by others."

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew it well; it was nothing more than not wanting to let her sister get involved in danger, but it was a bit unexpected for them that Luo Li would come.

During this period, Luo Li looked at the Seven Archons who had not been seen for more than a year.

With the dignity of a god, it was naturally impossible for there to be any changes in such a short time.

However, more or less, all the gods had retainers, such as the Hydro Archon's Oceanid.

Humanoid, born with a pair of wings, with a fish-like tail underneath.

"This is... Rhodeia? The Oceanid in Qingce Village in the future? It looks exactly the same as it was five hundred years later."

Luo Li examined the other party, remembering that she seemed to be the strongest retainer under the Hydro Archon.

After the Hydro Archon died, she was hunted down by assassins and fled her home country, carrying the Hydro Archon's fragments along the river, wanting to let the love of the god she respected spread across the land.

Rhodeia didn't notice Luo Li's gaze and stayed quietly behind the Hydro Archon.

The Seven Archons gathered, not everyone had the qualifications to speak like Luo Li.

Immediately afterward, his gaze moved away and looked in other directions. Not only the Hydro Archon, but the other gods also followed with a few retainers more or less.

Only Morax, holding a rock spear, was alone and looked a bit lonely.

When they first met, they were still sharing wine and laughter; now, they meet again to bring about the destruction of another nation.

This causality is truly strange.

Luo Li felt a surge of emotion as he gazed into the distance at the underground ancient kingdom of Khaenri'ah, which still appeared calm.

This calm, maintained for who knows how long, would soon be shattered.

"The wind is about to rise."

As Venti sighed and stared at the horizon, Luo Li and several others looked in the same direction.

Without anyone noticing when it began, a dark, heavy shadow covered the sky above Khaenri'ah.

Everyone recognized its identity immediately.

"Celestia."

The island that had hung in the sky for thousands of years had finally taken action.

Within their field of vision, a continuous expanse of red and black instantly flooded the sky. At its center, a white-haired queen, barefoot and hovering in the air, looked down from on high at the kingdom of dust.

"Humans who overstep the seat of the gods, I grant you judgment here."

The white-haired queen’s emotionless tone was piercing and cold. Accompanying her words was a calamity fire that completely occupied their entire field of vision.

The calamity fire fell from the firmament, igniting the earth in an instant.

As if this were a pre-arranged signal, the gods no longer hesitated, tacitly heading toward different directions of Khaenri'ah.

Only Luo Li and Raiden Makoto remained where they were.

"It is time for us to act as well."

As she spoke, Makoto drew the unsharpened Musou Isshin from its scabbard for the first time, the blade overflowing with a shimmering purple light that radiated divine might.

Even though she was not skilled in combat, she forced herself to participate in this war of annihilation.

Sometimes, Luo Li could not fathom it: could you Archons not consider yourselves for once? Each of you is so selfless, willing to die to protect your people.

"Stay behind me later, and remember not to leave on your own."

Since he was already here, Luo Li discarded all useless emotions, and his eyes gradually began to glow with the radiance of divinity.

Logically speaking, although Raiden Makoto was weak in martial prowess, she was still a god. Compared to gods of the same standing, she was naturally inferior, but facing humans who only knew how to manipulate elements, there shouldn't be any major issues.

However, Khaenri'ah was different from other situations; the ancient kingdom's technology rivaled that of the gods, not to mention it was tainted by the power of the Abyss from another world.

The danger level was such that not only Raiden Makoto, but even other gods would fall in this disaster.

"Let's make this quick."

Muttering in a low voice, Luo Li manifested the Spear of Void in his hand and glanced in all four directions.

The gods in other directions had already revealed their ferocity; their usual peace was merely a facade. One must remember that everyone present was a final victor who had fought their way out of the cruel Archon War.

Rock spears, like pillars of heaven, pierced the earth, leaving the outer layers of Khaenri'ah’s territory riddled with holes.

Roaring, surging waves mixed with hydro-elemental lifeforms whipped up a frenzy, vowing to crush those who defied the Heavenly Principles until nothing remained.

The once-gentle breeze also turned into a tyrant, with tornadoes connecting heaven and earth, mixed with giant rocks, sweeping away all enemies who dared to block the path.

Ubiquitous elemental power, driven by the gods, surged wildly, instantly creating a scene like an apocalyptic disaster.

The underground ancient kingdom was completely sealed off.

…………

The underground ancient kingdom of Khaenri'ah!

The moment Celestia descended, many citizens of Khaenri'ah felt something was wrong.

By the time the calamity fire fell from the firmament and the flames of war erupted in an instant, the populace, already troubled by curses and omens, immediately screamed and fled to various shelters.

They did not understand why Celestia and the Seven Archons had suddenly attacked their country, nor did they have the energy to ponder this question.

Dainsleif, who was among the crowd, watched this scene, his heart twitching violently. He then ran toward the palace like a madman.

With no time to care why the war had suddenly broken out, and even forgetting the order from his sovereign that he was temporarily forbidden from an audience, he had to reach his post as quickly as possible.

As the captain of the Royal Guard, Dainsleif believed he must lead the army to fight back.

When he arrived at the palace, he saw a scene of panic and clamor.

Due to the lack of leadership, the Royal Guards were in chaos and could not organize any effective action at all.

This state continued until a young man stepped forward, forcibly taking command of the guard and temporarily stabilizing the situation.

Seeing this, Dainsleif had no time for joy and immediately issued orders to the young man.

"Halfdan, organize the Black Serpent Knights immediately to protect the citizens and maintain order outside. Then, pick a few people to accompany me to see His Majesty the King."

Having finally suppressed the scene, Halfdan was still nervous, not knowing what to do next.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the voice of his superior and friend, Dainsleif. With a backbone, he calmed down much more.

"Yes, Lord Dainsleif!"

Without bothering to wonder why Dainsleif, who had been temporarily dismissed, appeared here, Halfdan followed the order without hesitation and organized the action.

With a trusted leader in command, the Black Serpent Knights also calmed down and began various arrangements in an orderly manner.

They were elites to begin with, and after overcoming the initial chaos, they quickly entered their state.

On the other side, Dainsleif led several knights toward the depths of the palace, and soon found the King and his entourage.

Before he could anxiously ask the King and others to take refuge, he saw the King, who seemed not at all surprised by this calamity, arranging various matters for others on his own.

Dainsleif dared not interrupt, so he had to wait anxiously and quietly to the side.

However, strangely, he saw two strangers beside the King.

They looked like a pair of siblings, both with golden hair. Their complexions were not very good, and they were whispering to each other.

Finally, the King finished speaking to the others and turned his gaze to Dainsleif, who had intruded into the hall quite rudely.

"Intruding into the palace without a post, Dainsleif, you are quite bold."

Dainsleif immediately saluted and said without regret: "If Your Majesty wishes to punish me, please discuss it later. Now is a time of crisis, and more manpower is needed to resist. I beg Your Majesty to see clearly."

The King was silent, then said: "Forget it. Leave the order in the city and the counterattack to others. You go find Rhinedottir immediately and bring her to me."

"Yes!"

Receiving the mission, Dainsleif did not stop at all and ran out of the palace decisively.

"I hope everything is still in time!"

Gazing at the judgment from the many gods in the sky, Dainsleif gritted his teeth and rushed toward the outskirts of the palace without looking back.
