Chapter 13: The Final Plan: The Fall of the Sea of Clouds
Following.
The half-plane "Fog Hidden Realm" is not so much a mage's secret place as a small town. The town is about the size of a mountain village in the outside world, except that only women live here. In addition to the female mages under the command of the Lord of the Mist, there are also some attendants they brought with them from the outside world.
The "Fog Hidden Realm" does not strictly prohibit residents from leaving. But once ordinary residents choose to leave the secret realm...... The Lord of the Hidden Mist will personally erase all memories of that person's secret realm, and will never be able to return.
It's just that now, the original owner of the secret realm is no longer there.
……
Even after losing its owner, the Fog Hidden Realm was as calm as ever. The Lord of the Mist calmed the people under her command...... They believed that the great Lord of the Fog had arranged everything for the aftermath.
The Fog Hidden Realm, at first glance, looks like the town of Erios, unremarkable.
The only slightly conspicuous building in the town is the three-story Mage Tower in the middle of the town. By the standards of legendary mages, this mage tower is really "cold", but ...... It's also in line with the consistent style of the Lord of the Fog.
She herself was buried near the Mage's Tower.
……
The top floor of the Mage's Tower.
"Counterattack strategy......" After listening to Belvier's words, Xiaowei and Gloria didn't speak for a long time.
"Once it fails...... "Vicky said," she said, "...... We're going to lose everything. ”
"I'll have to correct something," said Verviel gravely, "and if we fail, Nicholas won't necessarily succeed." When the time comes...... In the worst case, our cloud world will become a fragmented archipelago on the blue sea. Ninety percent of the people will die. ”
In fact, it is already a good situation for the cloud to join the cloud as well, Belviel thought. If the worst happens, I'm afraid that the mainland will fall directly to the sea, and it is difficult to say whether there are survivors or not.
"Are you sure?" Xiaowei asked.
"If you both support it, then our chances of winning will be greatly increased." Belveil said.
"The adventurous spirit of the Black Apostle ......" the gentle "Golden Generation" Gloria is blinded. The methods of dealing with the world of the Baicheng Yimai and the Heicheng Yimai are very different, and the Baicheng Yimai has more kind research mages, and the Heicheng faction is ...... I'm afraid that even the all-powerful sea of clouds doesn't know what is going on in their heads.
Not only to win over Nicholas, but also to take the opportunity to establish a new order......?
"What about other people's opinions?" Xiaowei asked.
"The apostles who could be contacted were all in favor of this plan," said Beverle, "and the 'Light World' also thought that the two were the most suitable candidates. ”
"We promise." Xiaowei said.
Gloria's eyes widened. She stared at Xiaowei beside her, as if she was possessed by something.
"But make sure that everything you say is true," Vigil said, "and I need tokens from Mr. Palamedes and the Light World." In addition to that, we need to discuss it with Mr. Trenor and Miss Morgana. ”
Gloria looked grateful. The latter sentence is what she has wanted to say for a long time.
In terms of talent and knowledge, her brother Trenaud Ramantasenis was far above her. If one were to choose a representative for the "Golden Generation", Traynaud would undoubtedly be a better fit than her.
But Belveel shook her head.
"No," she said, "the teacher has specifically instructed that the seven people he has chosen are special. It is already difficult to find outsiders without the seven 'apostles', and the slightest change of candidates can lead to the failure of the plan. ”
"But you've also said that when the time comes, any mage with enough talent above the Blue Sky level can go up to it," Gloria said, "Even if it's just a precaution, it's better to talk to them." ”
"No," Belle shook her head, as the Black Lord and the Maiden had repeatedly told her, "before the plan begins, the only ones who can know the details are the 'Chosen Seven'. When the plan begins, tell you about the alternatives that you think are trustworthy. In the face of the threat of the end of the world, they will make reasonable choices. ”
"Can't you trust my brother?" Gloria frowned.
"I can trust him," said Vervielle, "but the likes of Luke and Roy around him may be banned by someone who will act as an eyeliner without knowing it." It's safest to talk in the 'Fog Hidden Realm'. ”
In fact, it was the Morgana that the Lord of Darkness and the Maiden reminded Valvile to keep an eye out......
The Lord of the Black has a special way of observing the world, and the Maiden, according to the Lord of the Black, has "a source of information for creatures from the other world". Morgana was born as the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds" and is still oscillating between the French State and the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds".
Before, everyone was counting on her to gradually come to their side under the influence of Trenor, but now, time is running out.
And Gloria didn't think much of it.
"Okay," she nodded, "I'll promise to keep it a secret until the last day." ”
----------
Three years ago, the Black Lord Palamedes attempted to send his soul into the sea of clouds, but the ritual failed due to the combined interference of almost all the other legendary spellcasters on the clouds.
Nicholas also took part in that battle.
Now, Nicholas, who was far stronger than the other legendary spellcasters, was pretty sure that after that battle, Palamedes was already very weak and did not have the ability to confront other legendary casters head-on.
But...... Like Erios and Palamedes at their peak, Nicholas, who was invincible in the world, also made the mistake of being too arrogant.
One-on-one, no one in the world can threaten themselves.
Together, they are "invincible".
The Lord of the Falcon only has a strong person in his eyes......
And this is his fatal heel.
……
Goth and Maiden noticed it one after the other. The Nicholas layout is not flawless.
Indeed, the remaining strength of Palamedes was no longer enough to carry out another ritual to capture the sea of clouds.
Other legendary mages other than Nicholas are not strong enough.
Nicholas's ability is enough, but he is in a hurry to build his own "Eternal Reincarnation Kingdom", and he is not very concerned about completely "seizing away" the sea of clouds.
Anyway, I'm already invincible. Clouds? The sea of clouds can't bring it into his own kingdom......
For Nicholas, wasting time and risking the sea of clouds to forcibly occupy the sea of clouds, it is better to build a new spell casting system around the ancient magic net. In the future, it will be used in the kingdom of God.
Even...... It belongs to him alone, and the new spell casting system has already taken shape.
Of course, compared to the sea of clouds created by the gods, it is not the same at all.
However, in order to ensure the successful completion of the "Eternal Return Kingdom", Nicholas still needs a very stable and powerful spellcasting system. Whether it's slicing continents or generating new spaces, Nicholas relies entirely on the power of the sea of clouds.
Most of his many killer moves also rely on the sea of clouds.
Every legendary spellcaster is the darling of the sea of clouds. Their spiritual power has reached the deepest part of the sea of clouds, so they have received special favor from the sea of clouds. In addition to legendary spells, the common spells they cast will also be enhanced. But at the price, more or less part of their souls entered the sea of clouds.
When the favor of the sea of clouds is restricted, the strength of any legendary mage will be greatly weakened. On the contrary, if the top Blue Ocean level spellcaster is prepared in advance, the strength is not much different from that of the legendary caster.
Palamedes didn't have the time or energy to build his own spellcasting system. However, he has long been connected to the world under the clouds, and has mastered the art of cutting the ancient magic net.
It is not necessary to capture the sea of clouds in its entirety.
As long as the sea of clouds can be temporarily neutralized to "transcend the blue ocean", Nicholas is not invincible.
In the original "whimsical" vision of the Lord of Darkness, after the sea of clouds is instantly neutralized, all arcane, divine arts, and secret rituals will be invalidated.
But in doing so, it is tantamount to killing the sea of clouds or putting them to sleep. The continent that the sea of clouds carries and protects will suddenly lose its support and fall to the surface of the sea.
Therefore, what Maiden and Goth and others now intend to adopt is a gradual approach.
The structure of the sea of clouds and the continent is extremely stable, and as long as the sea of clouds moves down slightly, the legendary caster with the most complex abilities will be disturbed.
By casting spells at the intersection of the sea of clouds and the ancient demon net, let the sea of clouds gradually "put down" the continent.
At that time, the continent will not slowly rise, but slowly fall.
During the time of "landing", the caster's strength will slowly weaken.
First, the Legendary Caster returns to Blue Ocean Advanced, and then the Blue Ocean Advanced Spellcaster becomes Blue Ocean Intermediate...... As the continent gets lower and lower, the part of the spiritual power that can penetrate into the sea of clouds becomes less and less, and the casters will become weaker and weaker.
…… For the legendary mages before Palamedes, this was a suicide plan at all.
The sea of clouds is still valid. It's just that the structure of the continent has changed, and the method of infiltrating spiritual power has changed somewhat. If there are enough top casters, the "sea of clouds" can also be lifted from the surface of the sea.
But...... At this time, the strength of all spellcasters has begun to weaken.
Therefore –
While partially neutralizing the sea of clouds, it is necessary to select seven genius spellcasters who have not reached the legend and will not be affected by the fall of the sea of clouds to affect the essence of their souls, and cast spells in the common focus of the seven sea of clouds and the magic net, as if it were a reproduction of the seven gods rising on the continent back then, and re-stabilize the falling sea of clouds.
Therefore, Goth, who was ready to temporarily erase his memory at that time, had already guessed about this plan, so he hoped that everyone would not break through to the Blue Ocean Advanced. For geniuses, breaking through to the Blue Ocean Advanced may directly advance to the Legendary Caster.
And the girl ...... With amazing imagination, on the basis of this plan, he proposed the "ultimate weapon" against Nicholas and others.
In any case, the seven people who have undertaken the task of re-raising the continent, after the sea of clouds is re-stabilized, their spirits will go deeper into the sea of clouds and into the magic net than any previous spellcaster, so as to gain unprecedented strength, comparable to the legendary spellcasters before them.
The selfishness of Mr. Palamedes, these seven people happen to be the best of his seven apostles. However, if he can't make it up, he will have to find other geniuses now.
This plan is meaningless to the legendary spellcasters who did not know about the Temporal Catastrophe in the past, but feared the curse of death.
But now, this plan that would weaken Nicholas's power and have limited impact on his own side has become a viable plan.
Following the "Age of the Gods", the "Age of the Sea of Clouds" is also coming to an end.
In the universe that is about to perish, everything can be discarded.
As long as you can keep the hope of a glimmer of life.
