The Low-key Evil Wizard BOSS

Chapter 390 - 226: The Cosmic Fissure Strikes (2)

The gleaming golden giant axe shattered into hundreds of pieces, exploding in all directions.

The Ancient God’s Hand seized the opportunity and slammed down.

Having lost its most crucial weapon, the thousand-meter-tall golden skeleton’s power was drastically reduced. It could no longer hold its ground.

"Hmph!"

After a cold snort echoed from the depths of the Starry Sky, the Divine Power was rapidly withdrawn, and the thousand-meter-tall golden skeleton lost all ability to resist.

The Ancient God’s Hand fell upon it, instantly blowing the golden skeleton to smithereens.

The Ancient God’s Hand then flickered high in the air.

Then, like a meteor, it plummeted toward the Divine Spirit Fortress in the distance.

As it neared the Divine Spirit Fortress, a tremendous BOOM resounded.

A massive Energy barrier had blocked the Ancient God’s Hand’s attack.

The Ancient God’s Hand retreated slightly. A dense, web-like network emerged around it as Upper Rank Divine Power poured into it once more.

The Ancient God’s Hand swelled at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Then, the Ancient God’s Hand slammed down with ferocious might.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

After a dozen or so strikes, the Divine Power barrier, over ten meters thick and possessing the properties of a world barrier, began to crack.

After a few more strikes, the astonishingly thick Divine Power barrier shattered completely.

Once the Divine Power barrier was broken, the war fortress behind it, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of Divine Spirits, was completely exposed.

"All ultra-long-range weapons, attack the fortress!"

The Middle Rank God commander, who had long been ready, immediately gave the order to attack.

At the same time, Zorn’s Ancient God’s Hand landed on the fortress’s ramparts in its next strike and exploded.

Only then did Zorn, looking down upon the land from high in the sky, slowly withdraw his power.

"Hahaha... Your Highness Zorn, your Ancient God Curse is truly incredible."

"That enemy Summoner was a terrifying Level 8 Holy Star, yet Your Highness Zorn, relying solely on your Ancient God’s Hand, destroyed the ancient being he summoned with his prized Divine Power skeleton—a top-tier Ancient God Curse."

"That old fellow saw things were going south and fled quickly. Otherwise, the Ancient God’s Hand definitely would have been able to injure his true body."

With Zorn victorious in this battle, several Upper Rank Gods gathered around him, showering him with praise.

But Zorn paid no mind to their praise, his eyes fixed silently on the battlefield below.

As the war on the Star Dust Plateau grew increasingly fierce, the top Upper Rank God powerhouses from both sides began to enter the fray.

In the beginning, only ordinary Upper Rank Gods participated.

About a hundred years ago, Divine Spirits of the Middle Holy Star Level began to join the front lines.

But now, even powerhouses of Zorn’s caliber, at the High Holy Star Level, had started to join the slaughter on the battlefield.

One reason was the need to constantly pressure the two great Divine Kingdoms, Eternal Curtain and Star Remains.

With their two Ancient Gods injured, Eternal Curtain and Star Remains were at their weakest. It was the perfect time to strike them while they were down.

Another reason was that participating in the war to destroy the two Ancient Divine Kingdoms at this stage would be a significant contribution to one’s Ancient Sacred Mark.

Therefore, the top Upper Rank Gods who rarely made a move in the past were now taking action one after another.

Zorn was no exception.

While building his own territory in the Star Realm, Zorn had also continuously participated in this war over the years.

Although Zorn already had a considerable number of Ancient Sacred Marks, he still needed to find a catalyst for his own advancement.

The more profound the catalyst, the greater his chances of advancing.

As the Middle Rank and Upper Rank Gods stormed the Divine Spirit Fortress, the Divine Spirits of the two enemy Divine Kingdoms offered little resistance. It was like a total rout.

Seeing this, Zorn’s brow twitched.

’After these hundreds of years of divine warfare... first they were suppressed by the ritual that sacrificed the Ancient Gods, and now they face the dual suppression of that ritual combined with the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path. This has caused the two Divine Kingdoms to suffer devastating losses in both the number of their Divine Spirits and the extent of their territory. The last war between Ancient Gods was especially brutal. Not only did we launch a Surprise Attack against the Ancient Gods of Eternal Curtain and Star Remains, injuring their Trees of the Magic Ring, but we also eliminated a significant number of their Upper Rank Gods. That battle essentially crippled both Divine Kingdoms.’

’These two Divine Kingdoms... I’ve suppressed them so thoroughly, they probably can’t hold on much longer. But the closer they get to collapse, the more likely they are to make a desperate, final stand. They might burn the power of their Trees of the Magic Ring for one last, suicidal counterattack against the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom. Fortunately, I have numerous powerful countermeasures prepared. I can pull the rug out from under them during their counterattack, but a final strike from an Ancient God will inevitably cause devastating losses. I should contact the three Lord Ancient Gods and file a report on this. We need to be prepared.’

As he continued to observe the battlefield, Zorn’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He then casually swept his gaze over the surrounding Upper Rank Gods and spoke.

"My lords, the enemy on this battlefield has been routed, and the Summoner has already left."

"The battle here is decided. I will take my leave now!"

Although the other Upper Rank Gods didn’t understand why Zorn was leaving so abruptly, they all bid him farewell.

...

「Returning from the front lines via the Cosmic Magic Net.」

Zorn didn’t return to the Calamity Court Starry Sky Divine Hall.

Instead, he went to an Independent Star Realm where he had already established a Crystal Wall Insect Nest.

Arriving at the Void Star Realm, Zorn first checked to ensure there were no issues with the Crystal Wall Insect Bridge, the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, or the way the Tree of Calamity Magic Ring was concealing, suppressing, and shielding the entire World.

Only then did he fly toward the Star Realm District above.

Near the center of the Material Plane Group, a bizarre, spiderweb-like crack of purple and black slowly split open in the void.

A grotesque sizzling sound emanated from the depths of the Fissure.

The area affected by this strange Fissure wasn’t large; in fact, it was quite small, only spanning a dozen or so meters.

But it seemed alive, constantly expanding over time at a considerable speed.

In just a short time, it had already expanded from its initial dozen meters to over thirty meters in diameter.

Zorn watched silently as the grotesque, purple-black Fissure expanded before him.

After a long while, he composed himself and let out a soft sigh.

"The Cosmic Fissures are here. The great chaos is about to begin."

’I just hope the random locations aren’t all within the Star Dust Plateau... otherwise, this will be a huge mess.’

Next, Zorn went to inspect the five Independent Star Realms he occupied.

After confirming that Cosmic Fissures had appeared in all five of them, he immersed himself in the Cosmic Magic Net to search for the locations of the remaining seven Cosmic Fissures.

Although the Cosmic Fissures would grow larger over time and eventually be easy to find, the earlier they were discovered, the better prepared one could be and the more one could gain.

「Half a day later.」

Zorn returned to the Calamity Court Starry Sky Divine Hall, a trace of worry etched on his brow.

In that short time, Zorn had pinpointed the locations of four of the seven free-floating Cosmic Fissures.

Normally, for these seven randomly appearing Cosmic Fissures, the ideal scenario would be two inside the Star Dust Plateau and five outside.

A decent outcome would be three inside and four outside.

But the current situation was four inside the Star Dust Plateau and three outside.

This made things tricky.

’Once the other Ancient Gods find out that Cosmic Fissures spew out Cosmic Gemstones, they will definitely charge into the Star Dust Plateau,’ Zorn mused. ’They won’t care one bit about the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom. Whether it’s the Jade Realm, the Secret Wilderness, or even the Ancient Divine Hall that has few dealings with us, none of them would hesitate to turn our territory into a battlefield and trample all over it.’

The only good news for now was the location of the four Cosmic Fissures that had appeared in the Star Dust Plateau.

Only one was near the center of the plateau, which also put it relatively close to the Disaster Court Magic Ring Tree.

The other three were located closer to the edge.

As for the three Cosmic Fissures outside the Star Dust Plateau, Zorn had no way of finding them with his current abilities.

He would have to wait until they grew large enough to be detected by the other Ancient Gods.

After preparing what he was going to say, Zorn immediately contacted the three Lord Ancient Gods through the Cosmic Magic Net.

"My three Lord Ancient Gods, we have a problem!"
