Chapter 1018
Amidst the countless stars, a young girl knelt halfway up the high platform of the palace, praying towards the endless night sky.
"Oh, Morning Star, please bring us hope."
"I am willing to give everything I have to change the fate of this country."
"Whatever it may be, if you can hear my wishes, please respond to me."
Just as if the girl's prayers were felt, the night sky suddenly underwent a change, and a shower of shooting stars came down upon the sky of this world.
"Sister, sister, look, shooting stars, shooting stars!" A little girl dressed in a princess dress, as adorable as a doll, excitedly ran over to the girl with a worried expression, and tugged at the hem of her dress.
"Ah, it's a shooting star!" The girl stood up and watched the trail that continuously crossed the sky with her little sister.
"Wow, so amazing! I've never seen so many shooting stars before." The young girl couldn't take her eyes off the colorful trail symbolizing the stars, her face filled with satisfaction.
"Sister, let's make a wish."
"Didn't Mom and Dad say that if we make a wish on a shooting star, our wishes can come true?"
The older girl's eyes welled up with tears. Yes, if Father and Mother were still here, they would surely hold her and her sister, and together they would make wishes on this rare meteor shower that might only happen once every hundred years.
Unfortunately, that had already become a permanent thing of the past.
The younger sister still didn't know, their country had encountered such a cruel fate, and their status as princesses was about to disappear.
"What is your wish?" The older sister gently touched her sister's forehead and whispered softly.
"I hope that all the people in the world can live friendly and peaceful lives." The younger sister folded her hands together and made a lovely wish.
"Peace... Is it possible?" Sister looked complicatedly at a place about 100 kilometers outside the royal city. There, there were a large number of metal armors that were incompatible with the style of this kingdom, as well as several towering spires.
This country is currently at war with its neighboring country.
Not long ago, the king and queen personally went to the frontlines, leading the kingdom's last trump card - the Royal Knight Order, to fight to the death against the opponent's magic army legion.
Now, the royal city of the divine era is right in front of us, even though the war has long ended.
Tomorrow, the first magic army legion will proudly enter this legacy city of the divine era and harvest the sweet fruits of victory.
The final glory of the divine era bloodline is about to come to an end in this era of ordinary people.
Just when everyone was drunk and the officials overseeing the army were losing their balance, they saw the sky on fire.
It was clearly nighttime, but the intense radiance turned the entire sky an unnatural orange-red, as if the entire atmosphere had been ignited.
A complex object of unknown shape, resembling a falling star from the sky, was drawn towards the Imperial First Magic Army Legion's base by the aura of Divine Era relics.
"What is that?"
Is it a shooting star?
For the people of this world, everything beyond the atmosphere is unknown. No one has ever crossed that area and reached the observable starry world.
The reason is that the atmospheric structure here is very unique. While it protects this world, it also imprisons its inhabitants on the ground.
Despite reaching a civilization capable of building magic armor, people here know nothing about the sky above their heads.
This is a world following the extinction of the God's Domain civilization, a planet not connected by any star bridges, with no star maps recorded by the Endless God's Domain.
In the history of this world, there is no record of what happens when a meteor passes through the atmosphere and falls to the ground. So when the soldiers of the First Magic Army Legion saw the meteor falling towards them, they were in awe of the splendid scene.
It was not until the crimson meteor was close by that they realized what it was.
Unfortunately, everything was too late.
The earth broke easily like a cracked eggshell.
A red mushroom cloud thousands of meters high rose from the ground, and the enormous shockwave swept the land, carrying a heat that could melt steel, causing a chain reaction.
The empire, which had been proud of itself for recently defeating the kingdom's last royal knight army in the first magic army legion, instantly burned to ashes like a piece of paper thrown into a fireplace in the face of this catastrophic impact.
After the end of the divine era in this world, a long-awaited visitor arrived.
