Chapter 1435 - Capturing the Deity of Gods

Two days later, the Deity of Gods finally reached its maximum height, almost 5000 meters above ground

From a distance, it resembled a cone permanently fixed amongst the clouds, its downcast shadow blocking out a third of the Kingdom of Dawn, resulting in an earlier nightfall by several hours.

If not for the prior preparations done by the higher-ups and the order passed down for the civilians to stay indoors, with martial law imposed on the various cities, just the sight of the Deity of the Gods would had caused social order to collapse.

Following that, the Deity of Gods began moving towards Graycastle, the moving shadow outline formed a new distinct ‘day and night line’ for the people on the ground. Although Silent Disaster and Sky Lord were unable to operate the core apparatus, they were able to close the Red Mist valve, which could be considered the only good news. At the very least, they prevented the spillage of Red Mist everywhere.

Besides monitoring the Deity of Gods, the Witch Union and Graycastle’s Administrative Office did not stay idle. The alliance of both parties were able to transfer a magic power core and an operator up onto the floating island after traversing the majority of Graycastle in a short span of two days.

Opening the sealed wooden crate, Roland saw Celine inside the temporary warehouse.

“It was tough on you,” Roland replied earnestly. He knew how it felt to be sealed and be immobilized inside a wooden crate—such an experience was enough for someone with claustrophobia to go crazy. If not for the urgency, they would have waited for the large aircrafts to be completed as a mode of transport and not agree to transporting this ancient witch using such a method.

Roland was surprised, and warm emotions surged in his heart.

“Erm…” Her reaction was out of his expectations. “You really want to go up there?”

“Fine, what you said is indeed very reasonable…” Roland turned and walked towards the corner of the warehouse. “Follow me.”

After passing through a unique door, Hackzord and Serakkas appeared in the middle of the room waiting for the mission to begin. They were surrounded by 10 God’s Punishment Witches and both parties were constantly eyeing each other—although it was a collaboration, both parties could never be at ease with the other.

“This…” The moment he saw Celine, Hackzord raised an eyebrow in surprise. “The carrier body of the underground civilization? A Witch merged with it?”

“You’ve never tried it before?” Roland asked out of curiosity.

“Only Nassaupelle has the interest and joy in turning himself into a monster.” Sky Lord did not seem to put much thought into the question. “Since you’re ready, let’s begin.”

“We have gone through the details for this mission. For everyone’s sake, I will once again repeat the major procedures.” Roland glanced around. “The core to controlling the Deity of Gods is situated at the lowest level of the obelisk which is filled with Red Mist, so the main force to enter will be God’s Punishment Witches and the First Army. There lies the possibility of enemies there, mainly the Symbiotic Demons, or the Monstrous Beasts, so do not advance prematurely. The First Army will establish defense positions at crucial points and wait for the area to be declared safe before we go near the core. The main task of the God’s Punishment Witches is to protect Celine. I will leave it to the both of you.” His eyes stopped at Phyllis and Zooey.

The two bowed in unison. “Yes.”

According to Hackzord, the early implementation of Plan B meant that over ten thousands of Inferior Demons and thousands of Mad Demons were left stranded on the floating island. They took orders from senior lords and did not form any obstruction. As for the senior demons that took orders from Mask, they were ‘convinced’ by Silent Disaster. The only ones that were uncontrollable were the Monstrous Beasts that were created. Despite Hackzord’s early closure of the main nesting grounds doors, no one knew how many were left to guard the city.

“In that case… move out!”

Roland gave the order.

Hackzord snapped his fingers, instantly conjuring a dark screen of magic power that opened behind him while leaking red mist.

The two senior lords disappeared through the Distortion Door first.

They were then followed by the God’s Punishment Witches and Celine.

Soon after, the doors of the warehouses opened as a thousand soldiers fully equipped with all sorts of equipment entered the Distortion Door.

Operation City Capture had officially begun!

…

Especially when they were situated at the bottom of the large pit, where the large obelisk had protruded out of the Red Mist Lake like a pillar that touched the heavens.

“What do you plan to do?” Phyllis looked around cautiously and voiced out.

“Measurement? Isn’t that the name of the magic stone?”

Phyllis remained silent for a moment, then changed the topic. “What happens after a connection is established?”

“Miss Phyllis and Miss Celine.” Brian walked over. “The First Army has laid out its defenses, the next step is up to you.”

Celine nodded with her main tentacle and raised up the magic power core she brought along.

Very quickly, the core blossomed with a resplendent blue light and gradually floated in midair.

A thin line appeared silently and pointed straight to the obelisk—the peculiar sight attracted everyone’s attention. It was like a suspended thread above the Red Mist Lake that looked as though it had been there the entire time, only to have revealed itself then.
