Chapter 353

"Xuanwozhang Sect……"

"Uchiha Itachi……and Jellal……"

"Seems there's one more person."

That's right,

At this moment, with the appearance of Legules, the puppets from the Akatsuki organization also took the stage. At the same time, the moment the Akatsuki organization joined, the situation on the entire battlefield shifted once again.

"As expected, this trip to the otherworld isn't that simple. The Monu Sect and the Akatsuki organization have really joined forces."

Watching several more people pop up before their eyes, a shadow of gloom flashed through everyone's hearts at this moment.

In fact, they had suspected that the Akatsuki organization might appear as early as when the Monu Sect showed up.

After all, back in the Hidden Rain Village, the two sides had already reached some kind of cooperation. Since the Monu Sect had appeared, then the Akatsuki organization, as their partner, would probably not be absent either.

Despite being mentally prepared, their gazes still couldn't help but darken.

They had to know that the Akatsuki organization's strength from back then was still fresh in their memory. Its power was something even the Wizard Alliance composed of the S-Class Ten Wizard Saints and the Heavenly Kings couldn't deal with, let alone them.

However, there was no time to think, because now the members of the Akatsuki organization together with the Dazuisi Sect of the Monu Sect had already launched an attack together.

Within the war,

Boom—!

No need for words, the battle erupted just like that the moment it began.

Terrifying power kept pouring out—magic, Authority, spiritual pressure, taijutsu—flashing continuously through the forest.

At this moment, even the most outstanding battle masters could not make out the situation of the battlefield amid the chaotic scene.

Watching the battle through the puppet's perspective, a hint of a smile flashed through Lin Cheng's eyes.

"The battle has finally begun. Now the other side should also start making their move."

"After waiting so long, they probably can't hold back anymore."

…………

In fact,

Whether it was the Magic King or Erza and the others, they were all just Lin Cheng's surface objectives.

This descent into the otherworld, besides filling the loopholes that had appeared in the previous script, was also to lure out those bugs hiding in the darkness.

And these bugs hiding in the darkness were the 'Mingfuzhi Sect.'

After the descent into the otherworld, an unprecedented riot broke out across all of Ishgar, its severity possibly even surpassing that of the original otherworld war.

After all, the shadow left by the previous otherworld invasion was simply too great, so much so that upon learning of the overlap of the otherworld, everyone was worried about whether they would be attacked.

To stabilize the situation, a large number of wizards would inevitably be dispatched by the Pingyi Society to steady things.

The Magic Pingyi Society, which had already suffered several heavy blows, had reached an unprecedented low in strength.

As the Mingfuzhi Sect, whose goal had always been to destroy 'Fiss,' would certainly not let such a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity slip by.

Now, although the Magic Pingyi Society still had Hyberion, Warrod and Makarov holding down the fort, after several great battles, all of them suffered injuries to varying degrees, and their magic power had not yet fully recovered.

And in reality, even if their strength were fully recovered, they still couldn't possibly block the Demon King's footsteps.

As one who had survived for several hundred years and been crowned with the title of Wang Zhi, the Demon King's strength rivaled that of the Celestial Spirit King. If Serena were still alive, or if the Magic Spirit Power were still around, perhaps they could put up a fight.

But now, the Magic Pingyi Society no longer had any chips that could block the Demon King, let alone the existence of an internal traitor like Crawford Seam, who was a councilman when Zeref was still a councilman.

It's just……

The Mingfuzhi Sect wants to destroy Fiss, but doesn't Lin Cheng also want to borrow their power to find Fiss?

'Fiss'—the absolute secret of the Magic Pingyi Court!

A weapon that makes magic disappear across the entire continent, covering the whole continent, its importance even surpassing that of the Magic Spirit Power.

It was precisely because of this weapon that the powerful Alvarez Empire directly gave up its attack.

The Alvarez Empire claimed on the surface that it was due to the deterrence of the Magic Spirit Power, but the real reason they feared and dared not wage war was actually 'Fiss.'

Besides being able to gather magic power and produce astonishing explosions, Fiss could also destroy the magic power in the atmosphere, causing all wizards to be unable to use magic.

In such a situation, wizards who lost their magic power were no different from ordinary people, and it was precisely because of this that the Shield of the Saints and others did not dare to continue waging war.

Otherwise, a single Magic Spirit Power could at most pose some threat to them, but it was far from lethal. ……

The Fiss that covers the entire continent probably contains even more astonishing magic power than the Magic Spirit Power.

Although he had already obtained the Magic Spirit Power beneath the Magic Pingyi Society, greatly alleviating the gap in Lin Cheng's energy needs.

But when it came to this energy, how could Lin Cheng possibly refuse?

With the increase in puppets, the number of puppets above S-rank that Lin Cheng now controlled had reached over a dozen, A-rank puppets numbered several dozen, and B-rank and below puppets numbered over a thousand.

And this was only temporary; after this, there would be even more puppets.

When it came to energy, for Lin Cheng, no amount was ever enough.

And in fact, it was exactly as Lin Cheng had thought.

Not long after the descent into the otherworld, the Magic Pingyi Society also came under attack from the Mingfuzhi Sect.

The situation was just like in the original work—the Jackal infiltrated the Magic Pingyi Society and launched a surprise attack.

However, because the S-Class Ten Wizard Saints and the Heavenly Kings were present, the Jackal's attack this time was far less effective than in the original work; it only produced some explosive impact before being killed by Hyberion.

But for the Mingfuzhi Sect, which already held the advantage, this was already completely sufficient.

…………

……

Magic Pingyi Society Headquarters.

The Mingfuzhi Sect's surprise attack had already been launched.

According to the intelligence provided by Crawford Seam, Lei Zhi, Belno, Michelo, and including the former council chairman Grand Doma, several councilmen who had been living-connected to Fiss had all died at the hands of the Jiugui Sect's hunters.

The only councilmen still with living connections remaining were Oga, the current council chairman, and Ulfheim.

As news of the deaths of the councillors and former councillors came in one after another, even the most foolish person could guess that the purpose of Mingfuzhi Sect's attack this time was to target the Pingyi Society's ultimate weapon, 'Fis'.

"The Otherworld has only just descended, and they're taking advantage of this moment to strike. This Mingfuzhi Sect must have been plotting this for a long time."

Sitting inside the council hall, as the core target of Mingfuzhi Sect, Ouge gazed with a deep, somber expression at the great doors of the council.
