Abe the Wizard - Chapter 1467
Chapter 1467: Divine Kingdoms
No one bothered Abel, even after the news that he leveled-up spread out. Even the Dragons and the God Alliance only sent him congratulation letters.
Any professionals below Half-god would barely be recognized, and the news most focused around God Ranks.
Abel did not think too much about it, but all the God Ranks knew one thing: Abel needed to stabilize his Inner World.
After all, it was normal for a new God Rank to go into seclusion for hundreds of years right after their-level up, so that they could master the power of a beginner God Rank.
——
Abel stayed in the Golden Castle for two months, but he did not enter the Dark World. Instead he trained his Will to speed up the repairs to his Stone Walls of Laws.
Finally, all three of his Inner Worlds had the Laws of ice, fire, and lightning.
Nobody would have guessed that this new God Rank was more powerful than most God Ranks after just two months…
——
Meanwhile, a lot had changed in the Central Continent. More and more professionals sensed the frightening energy of the Holy Kingdom, but most didn’t know what was actually happening.
…
There were still four hundred million people living in the Holy Kingdom, and they were all followers of the Demon from Beyond.
During the past few months, they had been undergoing all kinds of disasters every day.
——
In the Central Temple…
Eight God Rank Knights sat in their places, a strange energy lurking around.
The Saint was looking very happy. It felt like the Demon from Beyond was just a hair away from reawakening, so he was getting very anxious.
The eight God Rank Knights, on the other hand, were looking more serious. The disasters that had happened were beyond their expectations.
Knight Marlo bowed and asked, “Your Grace, have you connected with the Lord?”
The Saint shook his head. “Knight Marlo, the Lord is still in the process of reawakening!”
It was not impossible for him to connect to the Demon from Beyond, but its soul was in chaos during the resurrection process. It was easy to tell, just by seeing the disasters that were happening. If the Saint tried to forcefully connect, his soul might be destroyed in the process!
“Your Grace, I want to know what is happening!” Knight Marlo asked again and added, “The Guardian Wings’ energy shield is even stopping us now!”
Some time ago those God Rank knights had been planning to make a surprise attack on the Wizard Union, but the Guardian Wings’ energy shield was not only forbidding people from coming in, but forbidding people from going out as well!
Added to the increasing disasters, the God Rank Knights grew more and more worried.
God Rank Knights were among the most faithful followers, but since they had reached God Rank, their pride gave them a sense of autonomy above the lesser, blind followers.
Therefore, they wanted to guarantee their own safety, besides having faith!
“The Lord’s glory is the most important, are you doubting him?” The Saint opened his arms and stared at Knight Marlo viciously.
“Everyone in the Holy Kingdom is horrified!” Knight Marlo replied grimly.
“The Holy Kingdom is the Lord’s kingdom. We have to obey the Lord’s will, even if everyone is killed!” the Saint declared with a burning gaze.
—
At that very moment, the grounds began to shake, and a body emerged from the Guardian Wings.
The figure was huge and glowing white, almost like those Guardian Wings were growing out of its back. If Abel was around, he would definitely have recognized it as an angel.
All the Demon’s followers immediately dropped to their knees and started praying.
The angel gazed down with a blank face.
Only a tiny bit of its consciousness had actually been regained. The huge battle long ago had been too damaging.
The most it could do was sacrifice its Angel Wings to protect the Holy Kingdom. Although it had healed a lot after thousands of years, some damage to its soul still remained.
Still, it had prepared, and its soul could function from instinct, even without a guiding consciousness.
“My faith will live forever!” a gracious voice filled the skies of the Holy Kingdom.
The voice did not have any emotion, but all the Half-god and below followers started to pray like crazy.
Their eyes were burning with passion. They lost their sense of self, forgot about their families and everything else they had ever loved.
Their life and souls were no longer important; everything was for their Lord!
—
In the Central Temple…
The Saint and the God Rank Knights also dropped to their knees.
Their situations were a little different, as they were not controlled by the Voice like the other faithful. They could only wonder what their Lord wasgoing to do.
They soon found out.
First, the souls of the weakest elders flew up into the Divine Body as the mortals continued to pray.
More and more souls followed. People began to die, but the sounds of their prayers were not getting softer. Instead, they were growing even louder!
Their gazes were not filled with horror as their souls left their bodies. Instead, they were filled with joy.
Even the most skeptical followers became the most loyal adherents!
As more and more souls flew into the Divine Body, its blurry vision slowly cleared up.
Every single person who saw the look on its face could feel its might. It was the look of someone who truly ruled everything!
The weakest hundred million followers were already dead. The angel didn’t need them to live, but some souls did not directly enter the Divine Body, instead circling around it.
——
What was happening was huge. The Wizard Union saw everything that happened from the Warding Wall of Doomsday.
It was unreal. Such a huge angel appearing in mid-air, and the souls of a hundred million half-transparent humans flying around.
They could not have imagined something so frightening.
Abel had tried to move a hundred million people at all costs, and it still took him ten days.
“I was not expecting the Evil Kingdom to end like this!” Wizard Smith murmured under his breath.
After fighting for thousands of years, he didn’t know how many people the Holy Kingdom had left, but he got a taste of it now.
“What is the Demon from Beyond trying to do?” Wizard McPhee asked helplessly.
No one replied. If Abel had been around, he would definitely know what was happening.
Unlike the gods, an angel could survive and fight without Faith once their Light energy reached a certain level. There were normally more faithful followers living under their protection, so an angel could easily do without a hundred million followers, especially for someone with high rank Light energy like the Demon from Beyond.
Indeed, Faith was not the only thing that helped the Demon from Beyond recover. Souls also played a huge part!
Those hundred million souls did not get reborn, instead merging with the Demon from Beyond’s soul. It could be thought of as living for eternity, but they would lose all sense of self in the process.
“The Demon from Beyond is killing all its followers?!” Wizard Smith gasped.
—
Soon, three hundred million souls were dancing in the sky. It was a majestic display of death.
“I said, I want Light!” the Divine Body in the sky spoke again.
The ground then began to shake, and the souls began to glow white.
In just ten seconds, the entire Holy Kingdom was pure white.
“I said, I want the above and below!” it continued.
The three hundred million glowing souls divided themselves into two groups. One formed sparkles in the sky, and the other merged with the ground.
For thousands of years, the ground of the Holy Kingdom had been nourished by Faith, and it quickly transformed as the souls merged with it.
—
The wizards on the Warding Wall were looking tense. They finally realized what the Demon from Beyond was doing, but they couldn’t stop it
“It is using the souls to make a new Kingdom!” Wizard Smith was in disbelief.
Of its four hundred million followers, a hundred million had merged with its soul; the other three hundred million were used to form a new Divine Kingdom!
Since the Guardian Wings energy shield was transparent, and the wizards could see everything.
It was looking like a huge white landscape of nothing…
—
“It’s the Lord’s Kingdom!” the Saint exclaimed fervently.
The eight God Rank Knights, on the other hand, were looking grimly serious. Unlike the Saint, they had lived for thousands of years, and they had always thought of the Holy Kingdom as their home.
But now, everything was gone, including their disciples and everything they thought had belonged to them!
