Chapter 274

Although there is an enormous gap between the Holy Ten and the Heavenly Kings, the Heavenly Kings can even instantly kill a Holy Ten.

But a situation like Hu Zi's, as if it were nothing at all, was the first time they had ever seen.

"This person is far more terrifying than we imagined." Haiyi Beirien nodded and said.

Boom—!

With a slight movement of his right hand, Hu Zi, without a shred of surprise, directly sent Jemann flying, slamming him hard into a nearby wall.

At this point, not a single questioning voice remained in the entire room.

"Impressive. Your strength seems even greater than I imagined."

With the battle over, Serena, who had been watching from the side, walked straight up.

"After this war, if there's a chance, we could have a proper match."

"If there's a chance." Hu Zi withdrew his arm, dispersed his Armament Haki, and did not refuse.

"Then it's settled." Serena did not dwell on it either, chuckling lightly.

After saying that, Serena turned and left, not sparing a glance at Jemann on the ground; he was only interested in the strong, and in his eyes, no number of weaklings made any difference.

And Hu Zi was the same, walking over to an empty seat nearby and sitting down.

From beginning to end, Jemann was like an insignificant clown, directly sent off by a group of guards for treatment.

This matter quickly reached the councilors' ears, but they said nothing about it.

After all, Jemann was the one who provoked first; Hu Zi had merely counterattacked in self-defense.

Moreover, Hu Zi, who possessed the method of crossing into another world, would sooner or later become a councilor; it had only been temporarily shelved because of the war, and there was no need to offend a future colleague over a minor character.

……

……

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was the early hours of the third day.

At this time the sky was still dark, pitch-black clouds drifting over the entire city, the oppressive atmosphere growing increasingly heavy.

In just three short days, countless mages had rushed to headquarters from every corner of Ishugar, and dozens of magical airships circled the skies above the Fapingyi Society.

The Holy Ten Great Mages, the presidents of the major societies, S-rank mages, and the strong scattered across the continent had all gathered within this city.

Together with Ishugar's Four Heavenly Kings, the Fapingyi Society had assembled such an enormous force this time, fully prepared to give everything in one decisive battle.

At the same time, to demonstrate the Fapingyi Society's resolve.

The Fapingyi Society placed magical crystal orbs in every corner of the entire Fapingyi Society, broadcasting everything to every city on the continent.

The originally panicked and uneasy people of the world, upon seeing the scene before their eyes, gradually calmed their hearts.

That's right,

The other world is so strong, but is one's own world really that weak?

S-rank mages, the presidents of the major societies, the Holy Ten Great Mages, and the continent's pinnacle, the Four Heavenly Kings.

These are the most powerful fighting forces of this world!

Before the war had even begun, the people could not help but feel shaken by the resolve the Fapingyi Society had displayed!

At the same time, they saw the Fapingyi Society's longing for victory in this battle.

If the Fapingyi Society won this war with absolute superiority, successfully defeating the other world's forces, it would deal an effective blow to this increasingly vicious other-world era.

On the newly built square in front of the Fapingyi Society headquarters, a dark mass of knight legions stood in neat, solemn formation, a murderous aura spreading out and shrouding the heavens and earth.

At the head of this strict army, Wolod also emanated a startling presence.

"Lord Wolod, the magical crystal is fully prepared. With but a single order, the magic array can be activated at any time!"

Then, Wolod looked toward the towering stone platform ahead; the four high platforms flickered with unusual radiance, and Wolod slowly began to speak........

"Begin."

"Yes!"

At the command, magic power poured in, the magic array rapidly began to operate, and an illusory, invisible barrier of magic power immediately enveloped everything, with astonishing magic power radiating from the barrier.

Wolod swept his gaze across the sky before him, then turned his eyes to Gulandoma on the other side and nodded.

Seeing this, Gulandoma nodded in return, then stepped forward, walked toward the high platform, and slowly began to speak; his deep voice spread out.

"The great battle is about to begin. Our world has long suffered invasion by people of another world, and now at last the day has come for us to launch a counterattack!"

"This time, we will return to them every insult and every wound we have endured all this time!"

On the square where over ten thousand mages had gathered, the atmosphere was utterly silent, and even the world itself seemed rendered mute.

Gulandoma's voice, carried by magic power, rang out across the entire city's sky and spread to the whole world.

"As long as we defeat them, we can not only change our passive situation, we can even counterattack the other world!"

And in the following few minutes, Gulandoma revealed intelligence that the Fapingyi Society was about to master crossing through space, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers upon layers of towering waves.

In an instant, the entire world trembled.

The other world!

The world where the invaders come from—the Fapingyi Society was actually about to master a method to pass through the other world?

In other words, they could also shuttle between the two worlds?

This is simply an unbelievable matter!!!

"Is this true?"

"Are we also going to master a way to shuttle between the two worlds?"

Not only the people of the world, but even the over ten thousand mages on the Fapingyi Society's square were stunned at this moment, and even the S-rank mages and some society presidents were deeply astonished along with them.

Some of the mages present had taken part in the subjugation of the Akatsuki organization and had witnessed the spatial passage created by Aizen; the power required for it was beyond imagination.

It was only natural to be astonished at the news that the Fapingyi Society was about to master shuttling through the Magic World.
