Chapter 216

"Are these the other two Heavenly Kings?"

Without thinking further, Lin Cheng guessed the opponent's identity at once.

Within the entire Pingyi Society, aside from the remaining two Heavenly Kings, no one else's strength could surpass Ulfhéimar.

Although he was prepared to cause a great commotion, he had to admit that the current him had no intention of clashing head-on with the two Heavenly Kings ranked first and second.

Now that he had already achieved his purpose in coming here, there was no reason to engage two who were even stronger than Ulfhéimar and waste time.

Especially with the Heavenly God Serena in the middle—this fellow, a few years from now, would possess strength comparable to one of the Holy Twelve Shields.

Although it was still early, his strength was probably not weak enough to be taken lightly.

Moreover, there was still a Magical Sprite force hanging overhead.

With a single strike, who could be sure that the puppet Akainu wouldn't be destroyed outright?

Such a wide-ranging impact would probably be enough to wipe out even lava, wouldn't it?

After such a long time without falling, it was probably because of the surrounding crowd of onlookers, and he didn't dare release it directly.

Having read the original work, he was very clear about the conduct of those people in the Pingyi Society.

They mouthed justice at every turn, but at the critical moment, even if it meant sacrificing a Heavenly King and a member of the Holy Ten, they would still choose sacrifice without hesitation.

Besides, he did not truly intend to take Makarov's life.

Makarov, to him, was one of the two important characters in the next script; it was still far too early for him to exit the stage.

Therefore, Lin Cheng immediately recited silently in his mind.

"Recall puppet."

In front of Akainu, a spatial passage quietly emerged.

Controlling Akainu to step into the passage, he vanished in but a moment.

Seeing Akainu disappear, the Magical Sprite force in the sky trembled a few times before also vanishing.

A moment later, two figures descended.

One was a young man with orange hair, two wing-shaped buns on either side of his head, and a horizontal scar across his face.

The other was a middle-aged man dressed like a vampire, wearing a tailcoat, with a thin build.

Just as Lin Cheng had guessed, they were the Heavenly Kings of Ishugar ranked first and second—Heavenly God Serena and Hyberion.

The moment they landed, they saw the heavily wounded Worlod and the seriously injured Makarov, as well as Gural, who had completely lost consciousness not far away.

Expressions of surprise instantly appeared on their faces.

Hyberion immediately asked, "Worlod, what happened here just now? Who did you and Makarov run into?"

The two had just received an urgent notice from the Fapingyi Society not long ago and had rushed over from a distant region, unaware of the current situation in the Magic World.

However, this did not prevent the shock in their hearts.

Although they were away from home year-round, they still understood the strength of those few Holy Ten Mages.

There was no need to mention Worlod—as fellow Heavenly Kings, they naturally knew his strength.

As for Makarov, although he was not a Heavenly King, he was only a step away from that level, and his strength was likewise not weak.

Of the three, only Gural was somewhat unfamiliar, but they could still vaguely recall his identity from memory.

Yet now, not only were all of them heavily wounded, the entire city had been utterly reduced to ruins.

While asking his questions, Hyberion placed his hand on Makarov's shoulder, using his own magic power to assist his recovery.

Accompanied by a string of questions, the two quickly came to understand what had happened in the Magic World.

"Akatsuki? Monu Sect? Five Elder Stars? …What are all these?"

Upon hearing these completely unheard-of factions, even someone as powerful as Hyberion was stunned for a moment, and at the same time understood why the Fapingyi Society's notice had been so urgent in calling them back—it turned out they had run into such a problem.

On the other side, gazing at the damaged buildings and burning houses all around.

"I never expected that during my absence, the entire Magic World would undergo such a drastic change."

Serena, who had not spoken from the start, suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"How interesting. Just now, for an instant, I felt a powerful perceptive force watching me—that must be that fellow."

"Makarov, is that person also someone from another world?"

Hearing Serena's question from the side, Makarov also answered while gasping for breath.

"Yes, one of the Three Great Generals of the World Government from the Grand Line—Akainu."

"Akainu, is it?" A gleam of excitement flashed in Serena's eyes. "I really want to fight someone like that. I wonder what it would feel like to trample him underfoot."

"Hey, Makarov, can we find them right now?"

Just like his personality in the original work, Serena was especially confident in his own abilities.

· ·······Seeking flowers··· ·········

Upon hearing of such a powerful existence, he was impatient to immediately clash with the opponent; in terms of personality, he was extremely similar to Natsu,

but the difference was that Natsu's confidence was simply reckless, whereas Serena's confidence was entirely based on his own strength.

"There's no way for now." Makarov shook his head and said with difficulty.

"Let's head back to the Fapingyi Society first."

"The Fapingyi Society should be able to brief us on the current situation."

Hyberion cut off Serena's intention to keep asking questions; as a fellow top-tier powerhouse, he knew all too well how terrible and troublesome Serena's personality was.

If not stopped, he would probably keep questioning Makarov here for an entire day.

Serena did not object to this either, for he too was very interested in such matters.

........ 0

Saying this, the two simply left, completely disregarding the heavily wounded few.

It wasn't that they didn't care, but rather that within their field of vision, the Fapingyi Society's rescue force had already arrived.

Neither of them knew healing magic, so staying would be useless.

…………

…………

Finally,

with the arrival of a few rescue personnel, the farce could almost officially be declared over.

But for the Pingyi Society and the entire Magic World, the fallout from this incident was even more severe than any previous event.

During the selection of the Sacred Ten, an otherworldly force brazenly invaded — this was practically the equivalent of grinding the Pingyi Society's face into the dirt and stomping all over it.

Apart from that, the losses caused by the battle were also unusually heavy.

While the outside world was in constant turmoil, Makarov and Jura, who had been seriously wounded in this incident, were also receiving the Pingyi Society's full treatment.

As members of the Sacred Ten, they were extremely important fighting power — even if the Pingyi Society didn't want to take it seriously, it couldn't.

Bang—!

"Old man!"

With a bang, the door was flung open.
