Chapter 734: Chapter 509: Announcing Death Angel Army, Main Culprit of the World’s Destruction

This wasn’t a movie. It wasn’t an illusion.

This was... history. Something that had actually happened.

Finally.

When the last resistor in the city collapsed into a pool of blood.

When the last crying child was consumed by golden flames.

The hundred-some Angels of Death slowly ceased their slaughter.

They floated silently above the dead city, which had been reduced to nothing but ruins and a sea of fire. From start to finish, not a single trace of emotion crossed their handsome, indifferent faces.

It was as if what they had just committed was not an inhuman massacre.

But merely... sweeping away an unsightly anthill.

HUMMM!

The vision from the Time Travel suddenly shuddered, then shattered like a broken mirror!

The surroundings reverted to the silent, dust-covered ruins.

Over a hundred Six-winged Angels...

That meant over a hundred Catastrophe Level beings!

The Light Holy See had casually dispatched over a hundred Catastrophe Level combatants just to destroy a single city!

What terrifying, despair-inducing power!

He had always believed that the Catastrophe Level represented the apex of this world’s pyramid of power—a force so terrifying that a single individual could annihilate an entire nation.

But in the eyes of the Light Holy See, Catastrophe Level Angels of Death were apparently... just ordinary soldiers, to be deployed at will!

"Is this... the Light Deity’s true power?"

Raylo’s voice was hoarse.

No one answered him.

Because even the three Legendary Mages—Delin, Morpheus, and Nancy—were reeling from the immense shock, unable to recover for a long while.

They had lived for centuries, believing they had long stood at the peak of power, watching over the world’s shifting tides.

But today, they discovered... just how narrow their perspective had been.

Before the true behemoth known as the Light Deity, the power they took so much pride in was perhaps no different from that of an ant.

"I... I recorded the entire vision," Mage Nancy said, handing a faintly glowing Memory Crystal to Mage Delin.

"To deploy over a hundred Catastrophe Level Six-winged Angels on a whim..."

"I can’t even begin to imagine what other terrifying forces the Light Deity has hidden away."

"And just how many more of these... war weapons... has he stockpiled in his Divine Kingdom."

No one could answer that question.

But the mere thought was enough to drive anyone to despair.

Amid the ruins, the four of them fell into a long silence.

The air was thick with oppressive silence.

Over a hundred Catastrophe Level beings.

The number weighed on their hearts like an insurmountable mountain.

He thought of Black Stone Territory, of the Thunder Dragon Duchy, of the land he had fought so hard to protect.

’If one day, those hundreds of Angels of Death descended upon Black Stone City...’

’Who could stop them?’

’Who would survive?’

The answer was cruel and despairing.

"Should we... keep exploring?"

After a long while, Raylo spoke with difficulty, breaking the suffocating silence.

His voice was raspy.

After witnessing that apocalyptic slaughter, he couldn’t help but feel that everything they were doing now was... futile.

"We must."

Mage Delin’s voice was resolute.

He looked up. Though his face was still etched with shock and gravity, it was dominated by an unyielding will that burned like a flame.

"This is all the more reason why we must find out exactly how this world was driven to extinction, step by step."

"Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated."

"We cannot allow the fate of the Heart of Arcane world to befall our own!"

Mage Delin’s words struck Raylo’s heart like a heavy hammer, steadying his wavering resolve.

’That’s right.’

’Fear solves nothing.’

’And running away offers no hope.’

’Besides, as terrifying as the enemy is, our world can’t be his only opponent.’

As far as Raylo knew, the powerful Giant Dragon Realm was also fighting against the Light Deity.

Raylo also knew that the phenomenon of two suns in the sky over the Giant Dragon Realm had persisted for over a century, which meant the Light Deity hadn’t been able to conquer it quickly.

The Giant Dragon Realm must possess a supreme being capable of matching him.

"Delin’s right," Mage Morpheus’s hoarse voice rasped from beneath his black robes.

"This world must hold more secrets."

"Let’s keep moving."

The four of them wasted no more time, resuming their systematic search of the silent Sky City.

They combed every street and examined every collapsed building, leaving no corner unchecked for potential clues.

Time trickled by during their grim search.

「About two or three hours later.」

Raylo was in a half-destroyed Alchemy Workshop, trying to find something of value amidst a pile of charred equipment, when...

HUMMM!

A faint spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from Mage Morpheus, who was standing nearby.

He held out his hand, and a Communication Rune shimmering with silver light materialized in his palm.

’It’s from Master Wendel!’

Morpheus sent his Spiritual Power into the rune. A moment later, he announced,

"A major discovery!"

"Wendel... he’s found the headquarters of this world’s Mage Alliance Council!"

"And he’s found many... valuable documents inside!"

The Mage Alliance Council!

The name sent a jolt of excitement through everyone present!

It was undoubtedly the highest seat of magical authority in this world before its destruction!

A sacred place for all Mages!

Any documents left behind would be of incalculable value!

"Quick! Take us there!" Mage Delin said at once.

Morpheus nodded, once again tapping his black Magic Staff lightly on the ground.

A colorful Rainbow Bridge materialized, extending toward a distant coordinate deep within the void.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the four of them stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge.

This journey was far longer than any they had taken before.

When they stepped off the other end of the Rainbow Bridge, they were all utterly stunned by the sight before them.

Beneath their feet were no longer city fragments or floating islands.

Instead, they stood on a vast, boundless continent in the truest sense!

Though this continent, too, had long been shattered, its jagged edges revealed rifts that opened into the Endless Void.

But its surface area was still staggering, stretching beyond the horizon.

"This... is this world’s main continent," Mage Morpheus explained.

"It was also where the Mage Alliance Council was located."

He didn’t pause, waving his Magic Staff once more.

"Stay close."

A vast surge of the Power of Space enveloped all four of them.

「The next second.」

The surrounding scenery instantly blurred and warped.

Once...

Twice...

Three times...

After several consecutive long-distance spatial jumps, Raylo’s vision cleared.

They had arrived at the very center of the continental fragment.

Before them was a... massive ruin.

Judging from the surviving silhouettes of buildings that stood hundreds, even thousands of meters tall, this had once been a megalopolis far more magnificent than Sky City Atos.

And the most common structures in this city were... Magic Towers.

Soaring, spiraling Magic Towers of every conceivable style dotted every corner of the city.

Although most had collapsed or been destroyed, even the surviving ruins still pulsed with intermittent waves of Magic Power.

Raylo did a cursory scan with his Spiritual Power.

Within his field of view alone, he could see the ruins of... hundreds of Magic Towers!

Hundreds of Magic Towers, all concentrated in a single city!

What a terrifying sight!

’As expected of the headquarters of the Mage Alliance Council!’

Soon, they arrived in the city’s core district.

Master Wendel was pacing anxiously in front of a half-demolished Magic Tower.

Seeing them arrive, his normally cynical face broke into a look of relief.

"You’re finally here!"

He hurried over to greet them.

"Quick! Follow me! I’ve found something incredible in here!"
