Chapter 847 Inviolable Grand Plan
*Boom!*
The superbomb exploded, causing a black ball of a void that obliterated anything it touched. The intensity of the light seemed to dim from the effects of the explosion, but it only lasted for a few tens of seconds.
The explosion’s impact was relatively small, but the damage caused was enormous. The gigantic golem’s chest shattered and left a hole that almost split its body.
*Rumble* *Rumble*
The Heavenly Guardian then collapsed into rubble and fell into the sky below like worn-out ruins.
“Holy Cow! That superbomb can still explode even in the anti-magic domain!?”
“Didn’t you realize that the explosion was greatly minimized by the Heavenly Guardian’s passive? Otherwise, the explosion was definitely much more powerful than that.”
“Argh, that’s a shame. The ancient strongest and the biggest golem was crushed in front of my eyes just like that.”
“Yeah! It was all the mastermind behind the Council’s defection!”
“He deserves to be punished with the severest divine punishment. The true death!”
“Hundreds of our comrades have died, and thousands of angels have turned to ashes. They died on the battlefield and went to the afterlife. That Goddamn thing must pay with his life!”
“Council’s barrier has vanished! We shall raid that island now and stop all this chaos. Everyone involved must be punished, even if it’s the Council’s top brass!”
“Raid the Council’s island with me, my brave comrades!”
The surviving Gods and deities immediately invaded the Council’s island. Several knight golems within the castle area tried to defend against the attack. Still, the onslaught of angry Gods and deities couldn’t be stopped.
“Alashor!” Xero shouted loudly and darted into the Council’s island. His attack was the most exciting because he simply destroyed whatever he passed while searching for the whereabouts of the Ruvoid God.
“Hahaha, that’s amazing. However, the feast hasn’t even started yet!” Alashor’s voice echoed from the sky.
“Sigh, we should go to Council’s island now.” Elysia heaved a subtle sigh, then went flying. Everyone immediately followed her in a formation. They weren’t in too much of a hurry because neither of them knew what would happen there.
“We’re going to beat up the bad God black and blue?” Sylvia asked in wonder.
“I thought the heaven’s dwellers wanted him to be put to death.” Yuuki shrugged her shoulders.
“However, I feel that something is wrong. It’s as if we are being toyed with, and the Ruvoid God is not taking this seriously.” Lynn muttered under her breath.
“Eh? Do you mean Alashor created this chaotic situation just for fun? The Ruvoid God doesn’t seem likely to do such a meaningless thing. I think he has other goals.” Nell put her hand to her chin. She also felt that something was wrong.
“...” Elysia didn’t speak during their short journey from the Celestial Palace to the Council Castle.
On that flight, she saw many injured deities and angels on several floating islands. Some were no longer alive, and a gloomy mood could be seen everywhere.
She didn’t care about Alashor’s excuse as this mess had to be stopped as soon as possible.
When Elysia set foot on the ground, she immediately used her sacred eyes to look around. She would uncover the truth directly by finding the location of the Ruvoid God.
‘Elysia, can your eyes see where the cursed Ruvoid God is hiding? I can’t find him anywhere, although his aura and traces can be found in several places.’ Xero decided to ask. He is currently in the Sky Tower, observing the ground with his magic eyes.
He had exterminated hundreds of knight golems in that short time, but he had yet to find a single living being on the island.
‘Please wait a moment.’ Elysia was still checking around. She could see that there were only thousands of knight golems but no other living beings.
The Council’s members were nowhere to be found either. However, she found a clue that led to the underground. It was hefty curse energy, but she didn’t know what was waiting down there because of the obscuring effect of this island.
‘The important place in a palace on a floating island is underground, not in a sky-high tower. A large collection of energy curses is down there.’ Elysia tells the clue to Xero and everyone else.
‘It must be him!’ Xero fell free and shot towards the ground. He threw his divine spear, creating a concentrated attack with a high penetration effect.
*Boom!*
The soil was blown into the air, leaving a deep hole in the gigantic hall beneath the ground.
*Zap*
An energy fluctuation suddenly became unstable, and Elysia’s vision suddenly darkened.
“!?” Rhea was alerted because her full attention was always on Elysia. She grabbed Elysia’s arm instantly, and at that moment, the two of them disappeared from the middle of their group.
At the same time, all the foreign entities that raided the Council’s island were also forcibly teleported to another dimension, but different from the one where Elysia was.
“Eh?” Elysia instantly became alert to the danger.
She felt like she had just been instantly transported to a separate dimension, and it might be a trap dimension like the previous event. Not to mention, she only had Elena, Ai, and Rhea here.
She was currently in a land of endless fog covered in a beautiful starry night sky. A considerable tree gleamed with a bluish-white lustre that soared tens of meters into the sky, giving off a sacred and mystical impression.
The glow in the dark could quickly get everyone’s attention there. However, Elysia was more fixated on a blonde little boy sitting on a white chair near the glowing tree.
“Hou~ I only invited you here, but it looks like we have an unexpected guest.” Alashor spoke casually.
“I knew you were aiming for Elysia from the start. Do you think you will succeed in completing your plan by separating us from the group?” Rhea summoned her divine bow and drew her arrows.
“No, you can’t influence my grand plans even if you have Elysia as your ally. Do you think you can discover my plans just by relying on divine divination and prediction abilities? Our plans have entered the final order stage, and you can’t stop us no matter what you do.” Alashor stood up and turned around. He jerked his wooden cane onto the foggy floor with a thud.
“Are you causing everything just for fun? The God Game and Heaven’s chaos... The casualties are huge. What are you trying to achieve?” Elysia squinted her eyes and pointed her divine staff to Alashor.
“Who knows. Most of the mess wasn’t directly caused by me but escalated by circumstances. Does that concern you, and pass all the blame on me alone?” Alashor shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
“You extracted Heaven’s core and overhauled heavenly laws. Why start this heavenly battle if you just want to ascend to the higher world?” Elysia prepared her counter-measure magic and deterrence. She was ready to launch her first move, but she wanted to know what Alashor wanted first.
“It’s necessary, and it’s just a bit of an overhaul, and it’s not permanent. You can have the core again once we’re done.” Alashor waves his hand in front of his face. He was not at all intimidated by Elysia’s tremendous threat right now.
“You consider everything so trivial and indifferent as if it doesn’t concern you. Are so many lives meaningless in your eyes? You and your plan killed many people, either human or deities.” Elysia felt annoyed when she recalled that.
“So, what are you going to do? Fall into a rage and kill me? Or, you’re gonna cry?” Alashor extends his hand while grinning.
“Hee, I won’t fall for your provocation. You’re also not this sealed dimension’s core. This dimension will not collapse if you are killed here. No, you are not the real Ruvoid God, but just a fragment of his consciousness. You just want to buy time by sealing us in here. You and your Council’s members are probably far away and safe from the harm, ready to make your ascension. You don’t care if you have to destroy Heaven’s sky, huh...” Elysia smiled mysteriously. She could discover the truth with one look.
“You are brilliant and scary. You know, this lower world has the means to ascend to a higher world because so many relics and clues lead to it. The Council’s higher-ups wished to go to that world long ago. My arrival is fated. It’s when they will make it happen because I can do it with all the facilities and relics at hand.” Alashor smirked and shook his head. He then looked up at the sky in his mumble.
“...” Elysia and Rhea didn’t comment on that.
“Elysia, do you want to join me? You and your other half are definitely not from this world let alone Vrelenia. You may not remember it for some reason, but you are not from a lower realm. Your existence is superior. Would you like to discover your origin and past? Your real previous life. Who are you really.” Alashor tried his luck by recruiting Elysia to his banner.
“I will discover the truth by myself one day. You could learn quite a lot, even if our encounter was short. It’s unfortunate, but we will eradicate you and punish the real you. The Council’s members who work with you will not go unpunished either.” Elysia shook her head.
“Too bad. Persuasion didn’t work, so I’ll just corrupt you, Elysia. Let’s see what happens to the light cloaked in darkness when she falls into true darkness.” Alashor sighed and put his hand on the shiny tree. “Bury the light, and embrace the true darkness.”
The sealed dimension instantly became completely dark without the slightest bit of light.
