The Kingdom of Sear.
The entire sky was covered with dark red spots, casting down a gloomy light.
“Gu ji! Gu ji!”
Under this eerie light, hordes of monsters and vengeful spirits shrieked and charged toward one human settlement after another.
“Prepare spells to guard against negative energy!”
Within a city that had clearly been transformed into a fortress, numerous wizards moved about, their expressions grave. A leading high-level spellcaster was loudly issuing commands.
“Low-level negative energy protection!”
“Resistance enhancement!”
“Holy light armor!”
…
From the hands of many wizards, various group or area-enhancing spells took form, all being applied to the frontline troops.
The blessed and empowered warriors roared and fearlessly fought against the endless waves of undead and monsters.
“Huff… huff…”
Dressed in formal mage robes, Bruce also mingled among the mage group, seizing the brief respite during rotation to catch his breath strenuously.
“Is this the enemy of the kingdom? There are just too many of them…”
Rubbing his head, which ached from near exhaustion of his mental energy, Bruce exhaled deeply.
Although he had long suspected that the series of abnormalities in the entire Kingdom of Sear in recent years must have involved something significant, he never imagined that upon arrival, he would be faced with such a terrifying calamity!
Even with the protection of high walls and magical arrays, when he saw the astonishing number of monsters outside, Bruce still felt like fainting.
“Hard work, fellow mages!”
At this moment, several priests dressed in white robes stepped forward, waved their hands, and a milky-white holy light descended, instantly making Bruce feel his magical energy replenishing at an accelerated rate. Even his head, which had been aching from severe mental exhaustion due to several sleepless nights, seemed to feel much better.
“The priests of the Infinite Church and their Sanctum arts truly have impressive effects…”
Bruce inwardly sighed, glancing at the battlefield, where many priests in white robes were actively treating the wounded and blessing the frontline soldiers, their numbers far exceeding those of their fellow mages.
No wonder! The cost and effort required to train a priest are much lower than that of a mage, and the requirements for talent are minimal, making the threshold extremely low.
If not for the fact that priests’ divine spells are mostly oriented toward healing and enhancement, the entire mage group might have been replaced by a priestly order by now.
“Jiu jiu!”
Although among the monsters there were also extremely ferocious ones, even possessing flight abilities and spell-like powers, they were quickly struck by the city’s pre-prepared ballistae and air defense systems, turning into massive fireballs falling from the sky. The entire defense line remained unbreakable.
Just then, accompanied by a sharp bird cry, a monster resembling a black vulture but with three heads suddenly appeared above the city.
Its three heads were devoid of feathers, exposing red, fleshy skin, and its dark-red eyes brimmed with cruelty. Suddenly, it raised its neck and cried out fiercely: “Jiu jiu!”
Whoosh!
An invisible shockwave exploded on the city wall, and rows of elite soldiers and supernatural beings fell like wheat stalks being cut.
Kneeling on one knee, Bruce felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from the giant bird, his heart filled with despair and fear: “Is this power something mortals can contend with?”
“Children, do not fear. This is merely a powerful evil spirit. Under the might of our Lord, it cannot wreak havoc!”
In contrast, the other priests, due to their firm faith, were not much affected and continued to cast鼓舞术 to bolster the surviving warriors with courage and valor.
Unfortunately, the immense gap in strength could not be resolved by just a few divine spells.
Although they barely managed to regain partial mobility, the city’s resistance still appeared utterly helpless against the three-headed monster.
“Charge!”
Suddenly, a knight roared, transforming into a meteor streaking toward the monstrous bird.
“That is the former pride of the kingdom, Grand Knight Commander Aofurno! It is said he completed his knighthood at nine and also studied magic, possessing unfathomable strength, rivaling only the legendary Five Ancient Kings and second only to the Immortal William…”
Upon seeing this, a mage’s face immediately lit up with joy: “Quickly! Support the commander’s attack! Activate the ultimate magical formation!”
Under the control of the mages, the city’s ultimate trump card was finally revealed—a massive magical formation covering the entire city. Countless tendrils of light seeped from the ground, reaching toward the three-headed monster, forming a net that pressed the vicious bird down to a low altitude.
“Meteor… explode!”
Seeing this, Grand Knight Commander Aofurno roared from midair, his spear radiating brilliant light as it suddenly pierced toward one of the monster’s heads.
“We did it!”
Bruce and others clenched their fists, filled with excitement. However, in the next instant, something incredible occurred.
“Jiu jiu!”
The monstrous bird let out a cry, pecking directly at the spearhead with its beak.
Bang!
After a loud explosion, the spear immediately snapped in two. At that moment, its other two heads lunged left and right, seizing half of the knight’s body, and suddenly tore, causing a rain of blood to burst forth in midair.
Grand Knight Commander Aofurno—killed!
Immediately, the monstrous bird flapped its wings, unleashing a powerful shockwave that gradually dissolved the magical formation’s tendrils, causing the entire formation to collapse.
“Heavens!”
Many mages spat blood, and some unfortunate ones even fainted outright.
Watching this scene, Bruce’s hands and feet trembled uncontrollably: “Such a terrifying existence—what method could possibly counter it?”
“Perhaps even the legendary sea serpent wouldn’t be this fearsome…”
“Infinite Lord of Eternity, I sincerely pray for Your divine power to descend and save us!”
“We still have Emperor the Conqueror; He will surely deal with this monster!”
…
At the very moment before annihilation, the mages, warriors, and priests within the city displayed a variety of expressions, reflecting the diverse reactions of humanity in the face of doom.
“I don’t want to die!”
Looking up at the diving monster, terror filled Bruce’s heart: “Whether it be the Infinite Lord of Eternity, Emperor the Conqueror, or some unknown force in the cosmos, I sincerely pray for Your salvation. I am willing to pay any price for it!”
Boom!
The next moment, seemingly some cosmic force answered his plea. The excruciating pain he had imagined did not come.
Bruce opened his eyes, and his pupils involuntarily widened.
In his line of sight, the three-headed monster bird, which should have been diving down to massacre, was instead violently swatted away by a huge white hand, its thick feathers falling like drifting cotton.
“A divine abomination three-headed bird?”
A vague figure seemed to appear on the horizon, carrying a hint of disdain: “The lowest grade, mindless divine abomination dares to come to my guarded land…”
The three-headed bird fixed its six eyes on the small black dot before it, its cry seemingly tinged with… fear?
Next, Bruce was even more astonished to witness the three-headed bird, which had nearly slaughtered the entire city and left them utterly helpless, actually turn around, flap its wings, and rapidly vanish into the horizon—it had fled!
“What kind of being was that? It actually scared away such a terrifying monster!”
He strained to look at the suddenly appearing shadow but ultimately failed to identify it.
…
“You won’t escape!”
The one who had come to the rescue was naturally one of Wu Ming’s avatars.
At the Great Luo level, he could manifest countless avatars, his divine consciousness expanding to nearly cover the entire Sear continent, far beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortal mages.
At this moment, he took a step forward and instantly teleported in front of the three-headed bird, blocking its escape route.
“Fascinating… originally just a sixth-level divine abomination, but with the enhancement of resentment energy, it almost possesses power rivaling a seventh-level being!”
Witnessing this, even Wu Ming couldn’t help but marvel at the immense accumulation of countless years in the inner world.
“Just… why do the divine abominations I’ve encountered this time seem to lack intelligence, even falling short of the previous God Devourer Mithras…”
As Wu Ming muttered to himself, the three-headed bird shrieked, spewing flames, poison, and wind blades from its three heads, creating a storm that surged toward him.
“Futile resistance—it’s useless!”
Above Wu Ming’s head, a cluster of auspicious clouds appeared, emitting streams of pure energy that radiated serene and harmonious light.
Under this light, no matter how fiercely the flames raged or the wind blades flew, they could not touch him at all, exuding an aura of complete immunity to all magical attacks.
“Good, one Mithras as a research subject was insufficient, but now…”
Wu Ming laughed aloud, his hand reaching out: “Come here!”
Boom!
Suddenly, a colossal white hand emerged in the sky, each finger entwined with astonishing five-element lightning, crashing down like Mount Tai.
Buzz!
As it fell, the Five-Finger Mountain solidified, bringing an irresistible pressure, while the Creative Lightning sealed the surrounding space completely, leaving not even a drop of water through.
“Jiu jiu!”
The three-headed bird let out a mournful cry, its feathers shedding in large quantities.
Bang!
But the Five-Finger Mountain mercilessly pressed down, shaking the entire ground.
“Did that ferocious beast die?”
Many mages and warriors stared at the scene in disbelief before suddenly bursting into cheers.
Wu Ming was also delighted to have acquired another experimental specimen.
Within the Main God Temple, in the Primordial Pool beneath the solidified purple primordial energy, besides Mithras, there now lay a three-headed monster bird.
At this moment, its entire body was sealed within completely solidified world primordial energy, resembling a giant amber, devoid of any trace of its former ferocity.
“Another divine abomination!”
Seeing this, Wu Ming sighed.
The gods of this world generally had poor conduct, producing numerous illegitimate offspring and even more divine abominations. Because killing divine abominations could potentially provoke conflicts between deities, many beings chose to imprison these offspring and send them into the inner world.
Now, these numerous divine abominations were launching their revenge.
