matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang would meet Lucius when he became a God anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a certain way, Shang looked forward even more to their meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to know what must have happened that Lucius had changed this drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the foreseeable future, I will be inhabiting the Judgment Palace since it's at the center of the world,\" Shang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Shang turned to Kali with a smirk. \"Since everyone in the Judgment Palace will die in a thousand years anyway, you probably don't mind, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't,\" Kali said emotionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang turned to look towards the north again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, enjoy your last thousand years in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a thousand years, we will reset it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them just nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang slowly took the sky, and a moment later, he shot towards the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shang left, the three of them looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, anyone wanna go sightseeing?\" Abaddon asked with a friendly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gregorio heard that, some nervousness appeared in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, they were allies now, but that didn't mean that Abaddon had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon was still the power-hungry psychopath who couldn't feel any emotions like happiness, sadness, orempathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him invite Gregorio to go sightseeing felt creepy and dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after throwing a glance at Kali, Gregorio justaccepted his new surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali was a bit better, but not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He won't try to kill me since that might make Shang kill him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I guess these are my new friends from now on,' he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" Gregorio said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great!\" Abaddon shouted with excitement before turning to his mother. \"You want tojoin as well, mother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali wordlessly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the three of them began to hover and flew towards the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were already at the southernmost Empire, they decided to start theirjourney at the southern edge of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, since there was no more pressure, Abaddon took his advancement slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would take his time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the three of them went sightseeing, Shang crossed the border between Empires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Shang was in his human body, but his human body still didn't look very human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his legs and arms looked quite strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shang reached the border, he felt many Spirit Senses look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were from Ancestral Mages and Mage Lords, but there were also three Mage Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Halt!\" one of the Mage Kings shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang didn't react and simply continued flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Mage King launched an attack on Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang just smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack exploded on Shang's body, but Shang wasn't injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had seen Shang, he hadn't felt very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he had felt like an average Mage King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, how had he survived this attack?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Shang just chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Domain of Entropy appeared around the Mage King that had attacked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage King fell into a panic as he realized that his Mana was rapidly depleting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately tried to flee with Mana Step, but Mana Step didn't work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he tried to run out of the Domain, but it didn't matter where he ran to, the Domain just kept following him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a couple of seconds of panic and terror, the Mage King slowly died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Mage King's Mana was being dispersed across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could believe what they had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the remaining Mage Kings immediately contacted Kali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many kilometers away, Kali took out her Communication Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRKSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And crushed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no reason to have a Communication Crystal anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone besides them would die soon anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point in doing anything for the Judgment Palace since it would also be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People, talent, Magic, Mana, prestige, borders, buildings, weapons, technology, everything had lost all meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything would be destroyed, and the world would turn into a lifeless landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage King almost couldn't believe what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he had felt the Communication Crystal establish a connection with Kali, but then, it completely vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like the Communication Crystal had suddenly been destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the meaning of this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had something happened to the Empress of Death?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was some unknown guy suddenly flying into the Judgment Palace?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Shang just kept advancing with a confident smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panicked Mage Lords and Mage Kings below him were nothing bigger than some panicking insects when a human walked through a meadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shang continued flying forward, more and more Mage Kings appeared in his perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage Kings rapidly talked to each other and came up with a couple of plans to deal with Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they had all combined their powers and began to cast one unified Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang was flying right towards the actual Judgment Palace, and they felt like they had to stop him before he arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shang saw these cute little Mage Kings trying to stop him, he almost couldn't resist laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A humongous black tear appeared in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one strike, Shang had killed all of the Mage Kings that had just tried to attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage Lords that watched denied reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some more chuckling, Shang continued flying forward, and eventually, he reached the actual Judgment Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was huge, beautiful, and imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, the lands of life and the pit of death also had a contrasting beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly felt like some kind of holy land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Shang stopped above the Judgment Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, he swung his arm from one side to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRRRRRRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a black wave of destruction washed across the circular lands of life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the black wave passed, everything in its way was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Animals, plants, insects, humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Life Mana itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a second, the lands of life had been emptied of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few humans that were still present to witness Shang's actions felt terror assault their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Shang looked at the Judgment Palace below him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And summoned his true body.\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-06T04:07:30.030Z",1,"novelbin.me","6f6a73be69a120b953d97bb6d88f05a690ea9c91ce75dc8a2a014f6a4f79f6cb","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-672","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-671",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
