Chapter 1276: 1024
"Lily! Sasa!"
The large group of researchers looked toward them as if they were their mainstay, and all eyes focused on them.
"The issue has been completely resolved," Isrile said.
"Resolved? What do you mean?" the old Apostle asked, his voice trembling.
"Everything that happened on this planet was a lie, all lies concocted by The Seven Apostles to satisfy their own desires! In fact, there were never any Star Devourers to begin with, there’s nothing here! That’s why they were so nervous when I said I wanted to awaken the Star Devourers. They used a special curse to maintain their loyalty to the Star Devourers, but now we have killed all of The Seven Apostles! You are free now! I suppose the ships from the Azure Sky Empire and the Hong En Empire will arrive soon," Ruosha said.
At this moment, indeed, ships began to descend from above, as the fleets of both empires had been on standby nearby. Isrile had already signaled them before the battle, asking them to be ready to take these scientists away.
Neither emperor of the two empires was foolish and naturally understood that scientists who had spent their lives studying knowledge were of priceless value! Thus, both emperors had sent dignitaries along with luxurious ships specifically to welcome the scientists from this place.
Upon hearing that it was the ships of the two great empires, the researchers were no longer entangled in their thoughts. The Apostles stood dejectedly to the side, watching the scientists board the ships and leave this place.
"How can this be! How can this possibly be!" the old Apostle collapsed to the ground in despair, unable to accept such an outcome.
"Yes, I suppose you never expected that the two children you intercepted halfway would turn out to be the ones to destroy your enterprise," Isrile said with a smile.
"No, I just can’t understand how The Seven Apostles could have deceived me," the old Apostle said.
"I don’t believe that, the Apostles deceiving you, you didn’t know about that?" Isrile asked as she approached the old Apostle with a smile.
Suddenly, a red light flashed in the old Apostle’s eyes, and he rushed toward another direction with an agility that defied belief. But in an instant, his body was frozen in place.
"Alright, the show is over, the other God Chaser," Ruosha said. Golden lightning sprung from the palm of her hand and entered the old Apostle’s head, swiftly pulling out a red energy from within it. Without the red energy, the old Apostle looked around in confusion: "Eh? Where is this? I remember I should be going to school, right?"
The surrounding Apostles watched this scene with horror, truly not expecting their most respected old Apostle to have such a secret.
"You... you will absolutely not be able to stop me... I am the great God Chaser! I will become a god," the red energy vibrated with power and spoke.
"Your ambition is admirable, it’s just a pity that you’ve encountered me," Ruosha said, and the red energy was thoroughly crushed by her voracious technique.
"Alright, gentlemen, now we need to talk," Ruosha said.
After completing all this, Isrile and Ruosha faced a group of Apostles and then revealed their true forms.
Zuo La was the first to be stunned stiff.
The researchers who had been cooped up here did not recognize Isrile and Ruosha, but these Apostles who often walked outside did!
Isrile! Empress of the Giant Beasts! The Dragon Hunting Spider, a battle life form created by the Giants! The legions she led even beat the strongest empire on this plane, the Azure Sky Empire, into submission without any fight left.
And Ruosha, the Group Leader of the Nightmare Knights, whose Whitestar could devour a planet completely within seven days! She truly could be called a Star Devourer!
These two had been beside them all along!
Some Apostles immediately recalled their unpleasant past encounters with the two, and couldn’t help but swallow hard. Indeed, it was a miracle they were still alive.
"Now let’s explain this matter in detail," Isrile said.
In fact, by now, everything was relatively easy to explain. After all, these so-called Apostles had not been brainwashed. Perhaps at the beginning, their faith was somewhat steadfast, but the Apostles who truly stayed here because of faith were after all a minority. The main reason most Apostles chose this place was the lifestyle akin to that of an emperor.
And now, the First-generation Apostle was no more, and according to what Isrile and Ruosha said, the so-called Star Devourers were merely illusions. So what reason did they have to continue staying here?
In fact, even if they wanted to stay, it was simply not possible, as some Apostles might face trial for the crime of kidnapping.
As all of this concluded, before the two could leave, another ship descended from the sky. Aboard the ship, a young man stumbled down, and seeing Isrile and Ruosha from a distance, he rushed over excitedly.
"Lord Isrile! Lady Ruosha! My name is Landers, and I bring a message from the Lower Plane!"
The two who had just relaxed immediately sharpened their focus. News from the Lower Plane meant news about Long Yi!
Landers was not an unfamiliar name to Isrile, because after he arrived at the middle plane using the reverse summoning spell, he had once met Isrile. At that time, Isrile thought they could establish contact with Long Yi through Landers, and indeed, it was so. Now, Landers had appeared once again.
The so-called news from the lower plane was actually a crystal containing information; Long Yi could not possibly have sent a verbal message through Landers. The crystal needed the power of a giant imprinted with Long Yi’s personal mark to open it, and either Isrile or Ruosha could do so.
The two of them together opened the crystal, and the information within immediately flooded their minds. Thus, they grasped everything that had happened recently, also including the matter of the so-called God Chasers.
"Can I say we’re lucky?" said Ruosha, a bit frightened after the fact.
"Yes, because our luck is indeed good," Isrile also felt a cold sweat break out over her.
The origin of the God Chasers turned out to be so complex, truly unimaginable. Fortunately, at the last moment, the gluttonous snake Long Yi had left for Ruosha appeared. Along with the information, there was also a stream of dark golden energy, a mixture of the energy of the gluttonous snake and the giant’s power. After absorbing this energy, the gluttonous snakes within Isrile and Ruosha immediately grew stronger.
"I was still thinking that after we solved this problem, we would have to wait for Brother Long in utter boredom," Ruosha said with a light laugh.
"Now it seems that above this plane, we clearly have a lot more fun ahead of us!" Isrile’s eyes lit up!
Hunting for Divine Status!
Lower plane.
An unsuccessful long-distance raid temporarily sealed the offensive of the Black Dragon people, but drawing from various rumors and Long Yi’s own understanding of the Black Dragon, these guys were definitely brewing a much larger counterattack—at least they certainly wouldn’t be as peaceful as they seemed now.
Before long, spies from The Divine Auffa Empire brought news that the Black Dragon people had taken control of The Divine Auffa Empire’s magic research department and started ordering the experts to develop spells suitable for the Dragon Clan which would allow for prolonged activity in the universe.
Upon hearing this news, Long Yi raised his thumb first thing. These Black Dragons were really clever indeed, knowing that they were not adept at developing new spells and instead turned to seek help from others!
Spell development requires a certain cycle, but that’s no match for having a crowd! All the magic scholars of The Divine Auffa Empire’s central star were gathered together, countless brainstorms clashing daily, so results were expected to come soon.
This was not good news.
Once Black Dragons could launch long-distance raids, the White Dragon’s advantage in cosmic warfare would no longer be clear, and the battle between the two sides would directly enter ground combat. To be more extreme, those Black Dragons might even occupy every major nation of this plane and force those nations to serve them!
Thinking about how he seemed about to become the public enemy of the plane, that feeling was indeed terrible.
However, there seemed to be no good solution right now; the Black Dragons had made clear they were here to kill him. In other words, the Black Dragons wouldn’t leave unless he died. And if he were to forcibly leave, it would be fine if the Black Dragons pursued him to the middle plane, but if they started to wreak havoc on this plane in anger... This kind of thing had happened before. The Human Realm might only be one small planet, but the events occurring there were a microcosm of what was happening here!
Long Yi felt he couldn’t bear such a responsibility.
If so, why not strike first to be stronger!
In this plane, all Divine Armors had a special device that guaranteed they could be instantaneously recalled to the underground warehouse of The Sanctuary Empire, no matter where they were. Long Yi decisively activated all the recall platforms, forcefully recalling all the Divine Armors in The Divine Auffa Empire—of course, there could be no prior notice of this.
But the soldiers of The Divine Auffa Empire who lost their Divine Armors were not surprised; instead, they were somewhat excited. They already knew Long Yi was a Giant, and since he had made the Divine Armors, recalling them could only mean one thing—that was to declare war on the Dragon Clan! They had missed the great war between Giants and the Dragon Clan ten thousand years ago, and now they were eager to witness a thrilling battle!
With such a mindset, all the soldiers kept silent about the matter. After all, the Emperor had been controlled on the first day the Black Dragons arrived, leaving the Divine Armor Mages with no role to play. The Black Dragons didn’t even know what these Divine Armors were all about.
After recalling all the Divine Armors, Long Yi immediately began to modify them. And for this modification, Long Yi felt himself to be somewhat madly deranged.
He installed a new core into these Divine Armors—a Dragon Egg.
Of course, it wasn’t a real Dragon Egg but a bio-engineered device made to resemble one. Such an egg-shaped structure possessed a wealth of mitochondria and associated bodies, capable of providing astounding energy to the Divine Armor, levels of energy that far surpassed any Mage.
Long Yi could not trust any dragon, so he could only strengthen his armament in this manner.
Watching Long Yi extract those bio-engineered devices from the Great Explorer, the eyes of the Divine Envoy were anything but relaxed.
"I really want to say something," the Divine Envoy said.
"Go ahead, I’m already under enough ethical pressure as it is," replied Long Yi.
After thinking for a while, the Divine Envoy shook her head and said, "It seems you already understand what I want to say."
