Although the battle appeared intense, it was clear to anyone with eyes that neither side was really fighting.
Even without actually fighting, the sheer aura alone is terrifying.
Just then, a blood-red arrow shot out from nowhere and instantly pierced through the blood-red councilor.
Volume 1: Chapter 609 Wow, that's awesome!
Despite being pierced through the body, the Crimson Councilor seemed unaffected, simply gazing silently into the distance.
Suddenly, a knight in armor and wielding a longbow appeared. Lily recognized this knight; she had fought her once before back in the kingdom.
"So the war really did involve the Empire," Lily muttered.
“After all, the only way to prolong the war is to rely on the Empire.” Elise showed no surprise whatsoever.
Just as the two were talking, the apostle of war opened the war domain, pulling the blood-red councilor into it, and the surroundings seemed to fall into calm again.
But not long after, a pregnant woman suddenly appeared on the battlefield. She was extremely beautiful and radiated maternal glow.
"Is there anyone who wants to have my child?" A gentle voice echoed throughout the core area.
As the pregnant woman's voice faded, another familiar face appeared in everyone's sight. He was also one of the three war apostles who had previously tried to interfere with the Order Recall Ceremony.
The burly man wielding the giant axe had a gloomy face, looking as if he had eaten shit.
No one wants to face the Nine-Headed Mother, not even her followers, since no one knows whether they might inexplicably become pregnant while fighting such a being.
The thought that the other person might be heavily pregnant brought a joyful smile to Elise's face.
"Don't laugh, or you'll get targeted," Celia teased.
"I suggest you don't speak if you can't speak properly." Elise rolled her eyes, suddenly remembering the pregnant woman she had encountered before, who had given her a strange look.
Elise rubbed the goosebumps that had appeared on her arms, then moved closer to Wendy. Although Wendy wasn't much better off, at least she was obedient and wouldn't let herself get pregnant for no reason.
As Elise approached, Wendy adjusted her posture to make it easier for Elise to lean against her.
"Is this the brother who wants to have my baby?" The gentle pregnant woman smiled shyly.
"I'll give birth to your mother!" The burly man, enraged, picked up the axe and slammed it down heavily on the pregnant woman.
However, just as the axe was about to strike, a thin, bony arm suddenly emerged from the pregnant woman's belly and grabbed the axe blade.
A gaunt, deformed monster ripped open a pregnant woman's belly and appeared directly on the battlefield. The pregnant woman gently stroked the monster's bald head: "Go, my child."
With a piercing howl, the deformed monster suddenly summoned a war zone, pulling the burly man inside.
"If nothing unexpected happens, then it should be the child of some war apostle," Elise explained simply.
"Is this considered dog-eat-dog?" Nora suddenly asked.
"Let's just say it."
"If we really encounter a follower of the Nine-Headed Mother, how should we deal with her?" This question was asked by Elena. Although she didn't really want to encounter such a strange being, she still wanted to learn more about it just in case.
"Find a way to kill the mother. Once the mother dies, the child loses its source of power and will weaken rapidly."
"By the way, never have any physical contact with them, even just holding hands could lead to pregnancy."
Everyone present shuddered silently; just imagining such a thing was enough to send chills down their spines.
Just then, a knight on horseback suddenly appeared beside the mother. Just as his greatsword was about to fall, the weapon in his hand suddenly disappeared.
"This is a good weapon, I'll take it."
On a rooftop not far away, a masked man looked at the greatsword in his hand, seemingly quite satisfied with the weapon.
"Damn thief."
The knight coldly stared at the masked man on the roof, and suddenly his war power erupted, but it disappeared the instant the war power formed a domain.
His territory has been stolen.
"Don't be so angry. I don't have the habit of being locked in a dark room by a man."
Just as the two were talking, the pregnant woman who had just given birth had somehow gotten close to the knight. Just as she was about to reach out her hand, the knight vanished from the spot.
He didn't want to be touched by that disgusting being.
The beautiful pregnant woman looked at the knight who appeared in the distance with a resentful expression, sighed and said, "Why won't you have a child with me? I think the child we have would be outstanding."
"Disgusting thing." The knight didn't even bother with the other party, and once again spurred his warhorse and disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was next to the masked man.
But the moment he appeared next to the masked man, the distance between them seemed to be stretched out, causing the knight to return to the pregnant woman's side.
"Is this spatial power?" Sally asked curiously.
"I don't know if it counts or not, but the masked man applied the stolen distance to the knight."
"What an amazing ability." Sally suddenly became extremely interested in the Existence Mask. If she could get her hands on it, she could use this amazing ability like the Masked Man.
Although the knight was on guard, the pregnant woman still touched his warhorse.
The pregnant woman and the warhorse's bellies swelled up at an extremely rapid pace.
The blazing flames condensed into a longsword, and just as he was about to burn the pregnant woman to ashes, she suddenly vanished from the spot. The knight was familiar with that ability; it belonged to his warhorse.
The knight's warhorse neighed in pain, its swollen belly beginning to writhe, as if something was about to burst out.
Without hesitation, the knight unleashed his power of war once more. Blazing flames instantly enveloped him and his beloved horse, and as the flames burned, the horse's belly gradually returned to its original shape.
"How cruel you are! You burned me and my child to death!" The pregnant woman looked at the knight with resentment.
Just as the knight was about to attack the pregnant woman, his warhorse vanished.
The vanished warhorse reappeared beside the masked man in the distance.
“Your horse is mine now.” The masked man subconsciously reached out and touched the warhorse.
However, the moment he touched the warhorse, the scorching flames instantly burned his hand to a crisp, and the fire even threatened to spread to his body.
However, the masked man didn't care and continued to stroke the warhorse with his charred hands.
"Wow, a minotaur in front of you? Is it that exciting?" Elise said excitedly.
"A minotaur? Where's the minotaur?"
Volume 1: Chapter 610 Bait
"Where are the minotaurs? I can't see them." Nora tried to adjust her perspective, but she couldn't see any minotaurs from any angle.
Not only Nora, but everyone else had a similar reaction; only Sera chuckled softly.
After all, among those present—no, in the whole world—she was probably the only one who could understand what Elise was saying.
"I misread it. Don't worry about the minotaurs."
"So, are they still testing the waters?" Elena asked curiously.
"Pretty much. After all, in the current situation, whoever makes the first move will become the target of everyone's criticism," Elise said calmly.
"However, this situation will not last long."
As Elise finished speaking, the magic academy high in the sky suddenly exploded violently, causing it to plummet downwards.
If the Magic Academy were to fall, it would certainly be a huge blow to Seria.
Just then, a magic knight suddenly took to the air, rushing towards the falling magic academy like a shooting star.
He single-handedly held up the falling magic academy.
But at that moment, a figure rushed out of the Magic Academy, carrying a huge ball of light in his arms. Even through the perspective of the Insect Network, everyone could still feel the terrifying soul energy contained in that ball of light.
Not to mention those people lurking nearby.
In an instant, six ninth-tier beings rushed toward the person holding the orb of light, and even the eyeball in the sky turned its gaze toward that side.
"That's the core of the god-making ritual?" Nora frowned slightly, wondering how many souls had been collected to possess such terrifying soul power.
"Yes and no." As a transmigrator, Elise knew very well that it was just bait thrown out by the Empire.
However, this was no ordinary bait; it contained the souls that the empire had collected since it began the war, and it could indeed be used as the core of the god-making ritual.
After all, those who covet these things aren't fools; throwing out useless bait won't catch any fish.
The masked man, who had been provoking the knight, stopped stroking the knight's warhorse and instead mounted it, forcibly taking control of the horse.
Although his body was charred by the flames, the mask on his face remained unaffected.
"You're courting death." The knight coldly stared at the masked man who had stolen his beloved horse, his body ablaze with the flames of war, and he vanished in a flash of fire.
After the pregnant woman saw the knight disappear, she followed him, shouting that she wanted to avenge her child, clearly indicating that she was not in a very stable mental state.
The once bustling core area suddenly became quiet.
Meanwhile, in the distance, a chaotic battle was raging. Due to the Moon Skeleton Gazer, the orb of light had been seized by another member of the Crimson Council.
Even with the presence of the Moon Gaze, the councilor was still unable to escape the battlefield with the orb of light, since the real Moon Gaze was still pinned to the moon.
The crimson councilor, holding the orb of light, was mocked and brutally attacked by those around him. The orb soon changed hands again.
However, whoever has the orb of light will be besieged.
This led to a situation where, after a while, no one dared to touch the orb of light, and the ninth-tier beings tacitly stopped fighting.
The group of people were locked in a stalemate, each looking at the other.
"Now I understand, whoever takes that thing is doomed," Lily muttered softly.
"That's right, but this stalemate won't last long."
"What do you mean?"
"The night is about to pass."
Just as Lily was about to ask what it meant, the originally dark night sky was suddenly replaced by bright daylight. However, the blood moon did not disappear. The area around the blood moon remained as dark as ink, and the terrifying eyeball was now radiating a terrifying pressure.
The blood-red councilor, caught in the stalemate, fixed his gaze on a masked figure and said coldly, "Didn't you say that night could last all day?"
"I'm sorry, I overestimated myself." The masked man shrugged, looking helpless.
Perhaps realizing he was being too fake, the masked man quickly put on a weak appearance, but his acting was so exaggerated that it was completely unbelievable.
"I can't believe there are actually fools who would believe a thief," the knight, who had regained his horse, said mockingly.
"Exactly, exactly, how could anyone believe what I say?" The masked man stopped pretending and put his hands on his hips, looking smug.
Everyone present simultaneously unleashed a powerful killing intent, but the masked man seemed oblivious, continuing to provoke those of equal rank around him.
"Is the masked man always this brave?" Sally muttered softly.
"Because he knows very well that no one will target him next."
Just as Elise had said, the blood-red eyeball in the sky suddenly released a crimson light, instantly enveloping the area where the light sphere was located.
The others present also began to interfere with the blood-red beam of light without prior agreement.
In truth, the Moon Gaze didn't want to act at this moment either, but with daylight returning and night about to disappear, if it didn't act now, it would never have another chance.
If it were the Moon Gaze in its prime, a single gaze would be enough to annihilate all life. But now, sealed on the moon, it can do very little.
Even so, the multiple ninth-tier beings still found it difficult to shake this terrifying crimson pillar of light.
Upon witnessing this scene, the blood-red senator, who was also implicated, had an unparalleled fanaticism flash in his eyes.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, just like shattered glass.
As the sky shattered, a blood-red battlefield appeared above the broken heavens.
Even from the manor, Elise could smell the pungent stench of blood, which, combined with the intense heat of the burning flames, made her feel as if she were on a battlefield.
A blood-red arrow flew out from the blood-red battlefield and struck the blood-red eyeball in the sky.
As a drop of dark red blood fell, the Moon Skeleton Gazer closed its eyes, and the Blood Moon vanished completely at that moment. Without the pull of the crimson pillar of light, the sphere of light floated in the sky.
A scarred hand reached out from the blood-red battlefield and grabbed at the orb of light.
But at that moment, chains of order emerged from the void and instantly wrapped around that hand.
Volume 1: Chapter 611 Compassion and Warmth
"Then, what is that!?"
As the blood moon disappeared, the people frozen in time regained consciousness. They stared in horror at the shattered sky, at the large, scarred hand, and at the sacred chains of order.
Some people even started to worship the strange phenomenon in the sky on the spot.
