Chapter 343

After arranging everything, Lin Cheng's consciousness returned to his original self.

"The news has been spread already; now we just wait."

According to the script in his mind, seizing the Phoenix Stone and spreading the rumor of the 'Great Will' fragments was only the first step; after ten days pass, the second phase will begin.

Another world descends,

and this is the first main storyline after all plots converge.

Using the 'Great Will' fragments as bait, this is also the perfect moment to make everyone fully accept the 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Great Will.'

"The rest is to take the Phoenix Stone from Eclair."

Others might not know, but how could Lin Cheng not be aware of the monster contained within the Phoenix Stone?

That tear of the Phoenix truly grants immortality, but it has one flaw: when the Phoenix dies, the one who drank its tear will also die—there is a causal link.

Such a situation is clearly not what Lin Cheng wants to see.

However, he has already thought of a solution.

After killing the Phoenix, use the Death God's power to forcibly erase the Phoenix's soul.

Then, use the Xuanwozhang Sect's Rinnegan power to cast the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, pulling the soul back into its body.

This ensures the safety of both Eclair and Mengmeng while severing their connection to the Phoenix.

………………

…………

Ten days passed quickly; before they knew it, they were gone.

On the eleventh day,

under the orders of the Fapingyi Society, all residents within and around the Beronica Principality had been evacuated.

Within hundreds of kilometers, not a single soul remained except for Lan Zhan and the other two, plus a squad of elite Fapingyi Society members.

"Will another world really descend? Why can't I feel anything at all?"

Gazing at the empty world before him, Natz sat on a rock, bored and staring blankly, as a member of the elite squad.

"Maybe it'll appear soon," said Erusha beside him.

"Wait a bit more… it should appear soon; Master Lan Zhan wouldn't lie to me."

Just as everyone grew impatient, Jiu La stepped forward to calm them all.

After the interworld war, all major societies suffered heavy losses and were severely weakened; among them, the Fairy Tail Society lost the least, and after several selections, it was chosen.

After one round of selection, Fairy Tail was chosen as the leader, with Jiu La leading the team.

The rest remained at base camp to prevent outside forces or dark organizations from infiltrating.

The personnel arriving this time were not only from the Fapingyi Society; three figures stood far away, overlooking this place from Shanfeng.

The three were two men and one woman; the young woman had uneven golden short hair and a golden armguard on her right arm; the long wait had gradually made her irritable.

This young woman was none other than War Empress Timaria Yesta, one of the Sacred Shields of the Alabaster Empire.

Beside her was a man with several iron nails on his chin and messy hair.

He wore a tight orange outfit with black cuffs and black pants.

The Judge, Val Ishit!

And the last one was one of the Twin Pillars of the Alabaster Empire, the Magic King August!

According to the final plan, Magic King August would lead them, and the three would travel to Ishgaria to gather intelligence.

Unexpectedly, on the way they heard rumors of an impending interworld descent; after some thought, August decided to investigate, leading to this scene.

"What's going on? Wasn't an interworld supposed to descend? Why can't I see a single trace?"

Looking at the calm, still world before her, Timaria turned to Val, who was monitoring all movements via surveillance robots.

"I don't know; I haven't detected anything either."

Val had already set up surveillance devices, leaving not even the smallest corner unmonitored.

Yet even so, not a single sign had appeared.

"Could the interworld descent be fake? Otherwise, why hasn't anything happened yet?"

Timaria spoke with a skeptical expression.

"Even if an interworld is possible, moving and merging an entire interworld—could even Lady Ailin accomplish that?"

"Do you really believe such a thing could happen?"

Since setting foot on this land, Timaria had heard many rumors about interworlds, but this piece of intelligence clearly exceeded all her expectations.

· ·······Please send flowers····· ·····

"But what's the purpose? Do these interworlders really inform the Fapingyi Society just to spread a lie so easily exposed?"

At that moment, August, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward.

Unlike Val and Timaria's skepticism, August, as the core of the trio, chose to believe.

"And then the entire Fapingyi Society evacuates all residents here because of this lie?"

Still, despite his words, Timaria and Val remained doubtful.

Seeing this, August added:

"If you still don't believe me, I can tell you—I felt a sense of oppression from that man."

"What!"

No sooner had August spoken than his words triggered a shocking reaction from Timaria and Val.

. 0.......

August was one of the Twin Pillars of the Alabaster Empire, second only in power to Their Majesty Jellal.

If even he felt pressure, how terrifying must the other's strength be?

However...

Before they could react, Augustine continued.

"Not only that man, but the two beside him wearing the same clothes as him — though slightly inferior to that man, are also extremely powerful."

"If I'm not mistaken, those three should be the Shinigami from the Seireitei mentioned in the intelligence."

It had to be said, the older the ginger, the spicier it gets.

Despite being several thousand meters away, Augustine still felt the oppressive aura coming from the other side, and combined with the intelligence he had just obtained, he figured out who they were in an instant.

"And as I know it, within the entire Seireitei, there are only thirteen Shinigami who possess such power."

Saying this, Timaria and Vall were both utterly dumbfounded.

"How could it be — three people no weaker than Augustine. Just how terrifying is this Seireitei?"

In response, Augustine merely kept gazing into the distance at Aizen and the other two, quietly waiting.

Perhaps everyone present was doubting it at this moment, but Augustine firmly believed it!

"The overlapping of fragments from another world — truly something to look forward to."

Boom—!

As if responding to Augustine, the moment his words fell, the next second, a violent tremor suddenly appeared! Death.
