Chapter 246 The Fall of the God of War
……
Earth Spirit?
Matthew felt a little puzzled. Wasn't this thing worshipped as a treasure by the Druids? Why did they suddenly summon him?
He had never met the Earth Spirit before.
Could it be because of his high affinity with nature?
With such doubts, Matthew said to Delong with some embarrassment:
"Must it be now?"
"I'm afraid not now, I must be with my colleagues."
Although Surel did not explicitly order the first batch of Alliance mages to help defend the Cross City.
And in theory, the four of them had already repelled the disaster of the Mother Lotus created by the Withered Cult.
They did not have the responsibility to contribute to the next meteor shower.
But even out of the most basic moral principles in their hearts.
Matthew had no reason to stand idly by.
What's more, Ailan and the other three planned to continue to defend the Cross City in the future.
At this time.
Every additional mage can provide more help.
What's more, Matthew has an army of undead.
He is confident that he can provide more help in the next battle to defend the Cross City.
So he decisively rejected Delong's request.
Delong looked surprised, and then said seriously:
"Mr. Matthew, the Earth Spirit must have summoned you for something very important.
You know, in the past few years, the Earth Spirit has hardly shown up, and he is very wary of outsiders.
Although I don't know why he wants to summon you, I think he must have a very important reason.
I hope you must go there.
Maybe it won't take much time?"
Matthew hesitated when he heard this.
If there were more mages guarding the city, he wouldn't mind taking a trip.
But retreating at this critical moment is a bit like selling out teammates.
And the sudden summons of the Earth Spirit are also very strange.
He instinctively resisted.
At that moment, Matthew turned around and asked the three members of the evaporation team:
"Is Blackthorn Mountain the only one to send people for the alliance's follow-up support?"
"And there are only three of you in Blackthorn Mountain?"
Combos, with a bruised eye, answered with some embarrassment:
"When we set out, we heard that there was a problem with the Hot Spring Prison in Blackthorn Mountain. Lord Alexander transferred all the law enforcers and the evaporation team there, so we were the only ones to come to support in the first batch."
"Hot Spring Prison is where Blackthorn Mountain imprisons extremely vicious and powerful prisoners. According to past experience, every riot in Hot Spring Prison takes at least three months to quell, so it is unlikely to expect Blackthorn Mountain to send more people here in the short term."
"As for other places in the south, I don't know."
Combos's attitude now is very humble.
It is in sharp contrast to his arrogant attitude at the beginning.
It seems that he is afraid of being beaten by Matthew if he says something wrong.
Fortunately, Matthew did not blame him.
He just frowned slightly.
At this time, Ai Lan also spoke up:
"The alliance is very short of manpower. The mages from Gem Bay and the East Coast who might have come to support have been transferred to the Wild Wolf Mountain Battle."
"If I remember correctly, today is the third day of the battle. The two sides involved are Lion City and the three towns on the river beach. The strength of both sides is evenly matched. It will take at least seven or eight days to decide the winner."
"Like the battle of Moss Green Hills, Lion City, which has received assistance from Danfeng Fort, is now the largest force in the south. In the past month, it has signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Deep Blue Port and Gold Water City. In addition to the small territories that Golden Lion Barton had previously swept away, Lion City's area now exceeds the largest recorded territory in southern history."
"Because of the threat from Lion City, the three towns on the river beach merged into a new territory, and their strength has greatly increased. They are suspected to have the support of the Eversong Forest behind them, so this battle can be called the largest and highest level war in the south. Previously, almost all unregistered mages in the south were transferred there, and the possibility of transferring them back in a short time is very low."
Hearing this,
Hibbert asked blankly:
"Aren't they all human?"
"If it's a human civil war, can't we let them stop for a while?"
"Let those mages come to help first!"
Faced with Hibbert's innocent question.
Ailan smiled bitterly:
"War can never be stopped just by saying so."
"Some mages may be on their way to the Watcher's Highlands, but the mages responsible for judging must stay where they are, otherwise if unexpected factors occur in this battle, it will not only damage the reputation of the alliance."
"The war will become completely out of control."
Hood sneered:
"War is supposed to be out of control. Only those high-ranking masters in the Silver Council think they can control everything."
"Yes, absolute violence can indeed suppress many things, but it cannot erase the souls of the rebels."
"In my opinion, the alliance will sooner or later suffer for doing this!"
Ailan advised softly:
"This is the decision of the legendary mages, you'd better not question it casually."
Hibbert kindly reminded:
"There is no need to do this, Ms. Ailan, I support Mr. Hood."
Hood was quite happy.
Until he heard the next sentence:
"He doesn't have a few days to live anyway, so he can say whatever he wants."
This time he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and even his bald head looked a little shiny.
"However, the Silver Council should clearly distinguish what is important and what is important. Follow-up reinforcements will arrive in an hour at the latest, so everyone does not need to be too pessimistic."
Ai Lan hurriedly smoothed things over.
Hood was silent for a while, and then suddenly said to Matthew:
"Go ahead."
"Since the spirit of the earth is looking for you, there must be an important reason."
"Don't worry about what will happen to our place without you. We can stabilize the situation."
Said.
He cleared his throat:
"I am the oldest among the first batch of mages who arrived. Since I am about to die, I will temporarily take over the command."
“Matthew, you should go to the Spirit of the Earth first and see what arrangements the Earth Society has for you;
Hibbert, you are responsible for observing and guarding the southern blocks of Cross City;
Ai Lan, go and keep an eye on the territories to the north.
Remember, observe and delay, and try not to get into a fight.
If an enemy breaks in from outside the city, use control spells or harassment spells, and never risk yourself.
After all, the main material world is still our territory. As long as we can delay time and wait for the support of the alliance, all problems will be solved. Do you understand? "
The three people have different expressions.
But in the end no comments were made.
Combs next to him asked weakly:
"What about us?"
He pointed to the other two companions beside him.
Hood said angrily:
"Someone has to go outside the city to negotiate with those robbers and bandits, right?"
"You guys are coming out of the city with me!"
Matthew hurriedly said:
"Mr. Hood..."
However, Hood stopped him:
“I am an old man who is about to die, no matter what accident happens, it is not worth regretting;
The three of them are damn scum, and it's time to make some positive contributions to the alliance.
As for you, you are different.
As long as you young people are still alive, it's not a big deal even if the gods are reincarnated successfully.
Maybe their growth rate is not as fast as yours.
At that time, we will still have the final say on this land.
That's it.
In a word -
Live well! "
The three of them were a little moved.
Hibbert's eyes were even slightly moist.
Hoodton showed a disgusted expression:
"Don't be such a bitch, you are a genius. Geniuses don't need to shed tears for others. You should be selfish, immerse yourself in your own world, and fully unleash your potential. That's what a genius should do."
Matthew took a step forward and hugged Hood gently:
"Be careful when you go out of the city to negotiate with those people. Don't fight them with a death mentality."
"Because I actually have a secret way to extend life here. As long as you come back safely, I will share it with you."
Hood suddenly looked surprised:
"You kid are not lying to me, are you?"
Matthew smiled and shook his head:
"I forgot to tell you that in addition to being a necromancer, I also have some accomplishments in the natural field."
Hood showed a look of relief, and then patted Matthew's shoulder heavily:
"Okay, okay!"
"Wait until I come back safely!"
Said.
He grabbed the three dejected members of the evaporation team and flew quickly towards the eastern sky.
at this time.
Some meteors have already fallen above the protective shield.
Boom boom boom!
The huge whistling and crashing sounds alarmed everyone in the city.
The civilians who were still evacuating and fleeing looked at this scene in horror.
Some couldn't help but kneel down and pray.
Those who have already been fleeing have accelerated their pace.
The druids shouted loudly at the chaotic crowd.
North of the city.
The dense crowd moved slowly towards the cave area.
Depression and panic fell like autumn leaves from the trees on both sides of the street.
falls on people's minds.
Heavy as a mountain.
Matthew took a deep look at the fiery horizon.
Then he turned around and followed Delon towards the Hollyoak area.
…
Astral realm.
Countless colorful light nets are woven onto the curved surface.
A funnel-shaped space is sometimes shrinking inward and sometimes expanding outward.
Outside the funnel.
Countless light points were hidden in the meteorite rain, waiting for an opportunity.
Bang bang bang!
Although there is no sound.
But when those lifeless stones and flames hit the curved surface.
Those who witnessed this scene seemed to think of such a voice in their hearts.
obviously.
This huge funnel was formed because of the meteorite rain hitting the permanent barrier.
And inside the loophole.
Thirteen giant golden nets are unevenly distributed.
These networks act like filters, trapping larger meteorites and meteors while allowing smaller ones to penetrate to lower levels.
Silently.
More and more points of light began to try to cross the first giant net.
The first batch of blips just collided with the network.
His body began to burn uncontrollably.
Finally, it was reduced to ashes amidst the tragic wailing.
That was the cry that an angel erupted before his death.
No one can hear them.
Perhaps there will be similar echoes only in the cosmic storms a few years later.
As time goes by.
More and more meteorites and light points poured into the funnel.
The angels headed towards the land that they had been thinking about for hundreds of years without hesitation!
"It's really tragic."
In position.
Ronan let out a low sigh.
The giant golden net in front of me is the super spell "Hunter's Cross" solidified by the natural disaster mage.
This spell is specifically designed to target gods and creatures from the outer planes.
Humans passed through unscathed.
But if a divine creature breaks through the level by force, it will definitely face the end of being wiped out in ashes!
This group of angels are already smart enough.
They seized the opportunity of the meteor shower.
Under the cover of meteorites, the defensive density of the Hunter's Cross will be affected.
It doesn't necessarily kill all the angels.
But it can kill most of them.
"How many have died?"
Ekmund asked.
"More than 2,000, less than 2,500. The number of this batch of angels is larger than we thought. I don't know which old ghost just sent another batch. It is estimated that there should be more than 800 angels that will eventually reach the ground."
Ronan's tone was quite serious.
"Where's Vasnov?"
Ekmund asked again.
"He is still making breakthroughs. After all, he was the Lord of Tianlun Palace for a short time. He must have a lot of good things in his hands. Even if he is separated from his godhead, he can last longer than ordinary angels."
"Currently, he is in the ninth level. It is estimated that he can only survive to the eleventh level at most. This is the record left by the Lord of Glow when he attacked the permanent barrier. The God of War should not be stronger than the original Lord of Glow. "
Suril narrated calmly.
"I have a bad feeling."
Linde's voice sounded:
"Although Vasnov likes to create an impulsive and reckless persona, he is actually very cautious. If he dares to take the lead in attacking the Hunter's Cross, he must be certain."
Suriel said calmly:
"Of course, no one will really die, let alone the gods who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
"It's just that we don't have deeper control over the permanent barrier. We can't go anywhere except the position."
"Vasnov's life and death are not decided by us, but by the Hunting Cross left by him and the Scourge Mage."
The other three fell silent.
In fact, they all know what Suriel said, but now they are trapped in the permanent barrier in disguise, and they have to find something to say.
"It's so boring. Why don't you make a bet?"
Ronan yawned.
Ekmund glanced at him:
"Okay, I bet Vasnov can successfully reach the ground."
Ronan asked with great interest:
"I don't think he can do it."
"What do you say about the bet?"
Ekmund said with a smile:
"If I win, you will share with me the last part of the secret treasure of the Magic Goddess that you have kept privately."
"If I lose, I will share with you part of the secret cache of the Magic Goddess that I found."
Ronan was a little dizzy at first.
Immediately he wondered:
"Does the goddess of magic have other secrets?"
"How did I not hear it being said?"
"Where did you find it?"
Facing Suriel's slightly contemptuous gaze, Ekmund said without blushing:
"Anyway, I found it. It's up to you whether you want to bet or not."
Ronan thought for a while:
"Then let's bet, I have no use for the remaining part anyway..."
Ekmund smiled on the surface, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At this moment.
Linde suddenly said loudly:
"wrong!"
"Why did he rush from the ninth level to the thirteenth level all at once?"
Everyone was a little surprised.
It should be noted that the Hunting God's Cross consists of thirteen levels in total, and each level is a giant golden net.
On the surface it looks similar.
In fact, the intensity is quite different.
The giant net in the twelfth level is enough to strangle the divine mage!
And the thirteenth level is even more devastating!
Because they were in the formation, they could see extremely clearly, but they saw Vasnov, who had transformed into a golden-armored statue, pushing a huge meteorite into the deepest part of the funnel!
that moment.
Hundreds of faceless men with golden wings appeared around him!
The structures of these faceless humans and angels are similar, and they are all pure spiritual bodies.
And the moment he saw these faceless people.
All the mages became excited.
"Golden God Wings!"
Suriel whispered, his eyes shining with yearning.
Golden God Wings.
This was one of the signature spells of the natural disaster mage back then.
She can summon thousands of Golden God Wings from other dimensions in an instant.
The strength of this creature is between strong divine power and weak divine power.
But a battle formation composed of only a dozen Jintian Divine Wings can easily strangle a powerful god!
Even at the peak of the God of War.
It is impossible to face so many golden wings!
"He's dead!"
Linde frowned:
"Unless he can become weaker than an angel..."
The words have not yet finished.
Just when the golden divine wings wrapped the God of War tightly.
Vasnov shook off the meteorite he was pushing.
The next second.
He looked up to the sky and smiled.
Fiery light burst out from his body——
boom!
Silently.
Vasnov's body automatically collapsed and shattered into hundreds of pieces!
Some of those fragments were repelled by the gravity of the plane and flew out.
Some are sinking rapidly, falling towards the main material world.
Surprisingly.
The Golden God Wings who were originally gathered around saw this scene and actually chose to stand by and watch!
They didn't even try to stop the debris from falling into the mortal world!
"what's the situation?"
"Vasnov chose the godhead to self-destruct, and his consciousness was shattered into hundreds of parts, and they sank together with the fragments of the godhead... The key is why didn't the Golden Sky Divine Wings stop those fragments?"
Ronan was surprised.
The other three showed the same expression.
Suriel immediately mobilized the authority in the formation and asked the leader of Jintian Shenyi.
The latter just glanced at the mages and replied coldly:
"He has already chosen to live toward death, so why do he need to kill them all?"
"And his consciousness will become an idiot for a long time after he exposes himself. Are you afraid of an idiot?"
"Besides, there's a question mark as to whether these fragments of godhead can find suitable hosts.
The order given to us by the master is to intercept the gods trying to cross the line, not to intercept an idiot. "
The mages were speechless.
In fact, at their level, they could vaguely guess the intention of the natural disaster mage.
Back then, she was fully capable of completely annihilating the gods, but she didn't do so and just chose to be exiled.
So she must have understood that one day the gods would return.
"So is this scene what she wants to see?"
Linde looked at the flames burning in the sky and murmured.
Ronan said doubtfully:
"Do you think Vasnov knew about this situation in advance, or did he really give it a try and succeed unexpectedly?"
No one could answer his question.
Linde lowered his head and glanced at the thousands of golden lights spreading to the world under the funnel:
"With so many angels dead and extraordinary energy falling into the world, Aindo will probably gain another batch of strong men."
"I hope these people can give birth to the main force that will resist the gods and monsters from the outer plane in the future..."
Suriel said softly:
"There will be."
"I have just predicted the trajectory of the fragments of the God of War. Most of them will follow the meteorite rain to the Watcher Highlands and the Far North Floating City."
"We shouldn't need to worry about the matters in these two places for the time being."
At this time, outside the multi-curved surface, a large number of white light spots appeared in the endless darkness.
Among the light spots, there are also some outlines like whales or flying elephants that appear and disappear.
The expressions of the mages became very serious.
Because they know.
These creatures are astral scavengers drawn to the Withered Angels.
Among them are the infamous astral termites, the ravenous baleen whales, and the legendary creature Skeleton Dumbo.
These monsters are not difficult to deal with individually.
But it takes some effort to clean them up together.
The mages picked up their spirits and began to control the outer positioning spells of the permanent barrier.
Death continues.
…
Cross City.
Hollyoaks.
Beyond the lush oak wall and the scorched-earth smell of swords and fire.
Matthew walked through the atrium of an old building.
This is the temple of the Earth Spirit.
The druids of the Earth Order are similar to those of the Moonlight Order. They not only abide by the ways of nature, but also worship gods related to the natural realm.
At first they worshiped the earth god.
Since the death of the God of the Earth, the object of worship of the Earth Society has been changed to a natural soul who followed the Earth Society.
That is the current spirit of the earth.
"At the end of the path ahead, there is the entrance to the underground sanctuary. Here is the final guard. Only two great druids are allowed to enter that area even within our Earth Society. Of course, you are a exception."
Delong pointed to the path ahead and said:
"I can only send it here. I wish you a pleasant conversation with the earth spirit."
Matthew nodded.
After verifying his identity with the two guards in front, he came to a deep garden alone.
There are countless kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing in the garden.
There are no gardeners here to prune, so all kinds of plants grow wildly.
But they vaguely followed a certain tacit understanding and rules, and they did not encroach on each other's living space.
So Matthew could barely find the path leading deep into the garden among the overgrown weeds.
He walked for a while.
Stopped suddenly.
Ahead is a crooked old locust tree.
The roots of the locust tree are very thick, like a huge millstone, and the branches on it are dotted, not very prosperous.
However, it was not the old locust tree that made Matthew stop.
But the shadow under the locust tree.
Although the shadow itself does not have any abnormal movement.
But Matthew still keenly captured the beast-like life hidden in it.
He slowed down and walked over silently.
After a while.
The moment he stepped into the shadows.
A somewhat familiar voice rang quickly in his ears:
"Don't go any further, Mr. Matthew!"
The outline of a humanoid creature emerged from the shadows.
Matthew looked surprised.
Even if it's just an outline.
He can also recognize the other party’s identity:
"Laila? Why are you here?"
Lyra the Shadowswornbreaker!
It was Matthew who sent her to Watcher Heights to find Eli's whereabouts. In subsequent letters, Lyla stated that she was seriously injured and needed to find a place to recuperate. Matthew came to Cross City and tried to contact her, but in the end Still failed.
Unexpectedly, this drow warrior actually came to the depths of the underground temple!
"I didn't come to you, I just used the power of shadow to remind you of the trap ahead!"
Laila's voice was very anxious, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish her words:
"Listen to me first, don't go in that door, don't go in!"
Matthew looked up.
Not far from the depths of the path, there is the entrance to the underground temple that Delon mentioned, which is the door that Laila mentioned.
"What's going on? Speak slowly."
Matthew realized something was wrong.
"When I was investigating the Scourge Cult, I accidentally bumped into Mr. Eli. He was fighting the Queen of the Whale Hunters at the time, so I went over to help. However, that woman was too powerful. Neither Mr. Eli nor I Her opponent."
"That woman seemed to be very interested in Mr. Eli. She knocked him out and took him away. But she was full of hostility towards me. I was almost killed by her. At the critical moment, the power of Dusk Creation Gailan protected me. I."
"He included me in the shadows, and I was spared my life because of this, but as a condition, I must either become Galan's slave permanently, or do a few things for him."
"Before this, I can't escape from the shadow realm."
Laila's voice was calm.
There was no trace of frustration at being controlled by Gai Lan, the creature of dusk.
"What are you going to do for him?"
Matthew asked.
Laila said quickly:
"This is not important. What is important is that I learned from Galan that there is something wrong with the soul of nature enshrined by the Earth Society. He secretly imprisoned the two great druids, Voice of the Earth and Silver Wolf!"
"I don't know any more information, but there must be something wrong with the Earth Spirit. I know that you have always had a close relationship with the Soul of Nature. I was worried that the Earth Spirit would be detrimental to you, so I waited and finally ran into you... "
Something's wrong with the Earth Spirit?
Two archdruids imprisoned?
Matthew's heart skipped a beat.
But Laila's current situation also made him hesitate.
So he asked:
"What did Gai Lan ask you to do?"
Laila was silent for a while, then said with some trepidation:
"He wants to talk to you."
"This is too dangerous for you, so I am unwilling to carry out His orders. Even if I become His slave, I don't want you to risk your life."
Speaking of which.
Her voice suddenly became panicked:
"Please leave quickly. Remember, stay away from shadowy places during the next period of time..."
Laila hadn't finished her words yet.
The shadow under the oak tree suddenly began to expand rapidly, quickly surrounding Matthew!
"Ma...Xiu..."
An extremely distant voice sounded.
"Let's talk..."
Matthew's heart began to twitch, and an extremely painful feeling arose from the bottom of his heart.
But in an instant.
This feeling is weakened.
Because at that moment, a small space-time crack suddenly appeared on Matthew's shoulder, and a light fairy came out from inside.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Matthew!"
"Are you free today to listen to my story about Mr. Crazy Miaozhen?"
Xiao Xiu looked at Matthew expectantly.
Different from before.
Matthew noticed that this time Xiaoxiu had a mini alarm clock hanging on his chest that was clicking away.
Every time the alarm clock goes off.
Matthew felt a little dizzy, and suddenly there were some strange desires in his heart that he wanted to vent.
Madness and shadow.
The two major fields fought against each other and locked Matthew tightly.
Matthew took a deep breath.
I am planning to open my own field to compete with it.
But at this time.
A cute and honest bear suddenly climbed out of the door.
"You are finally here, distinguished guest of all natural spirits, Mr. Matthew."
"Looks like you're in a bit of trouble, do you need my help?"
The bear waved to Matthew naively.
However, Matthew felt an extremely decadent smell on it.
It's like a pile of corpses that have been stinking and rotten for several years!
…
"Tip: Your ability "World Events" captured the vision of "The Fall of the God of War" (click to see the details).
Warning: You encounter anchors in the following four areas -
Shadow (Dusk Creation Galan/Medium Lyra)
Madness (Twilight Creation Madness Second Hand/Media Stream)

guard(???)"
…
"Um?"
Just when Matthew was about to open a field to escape, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a fourth field covering him.
It is also this field that has resisted erosion from different angles.
"Whose domain is guarding?"
When this thought just came to his mind.
A streak of white hair suddenly appeared at the edge of his vision.
"You seem to be very interested in my student. If you are so anxious to meet him, you must have prepared a meeting gift, right?"
"Let me see your sincerity, Slug, Alarm Clock... and Lazy Bear."
...
It's too late, I'll update first and then revise, there may be a lot of typos, I'll revise it again as soon as possible.
