Chapter 738: Fully Commenced
“Hehe, don’t you have something to show me? Don’t go!”
A cold voice, accompanied by an intensely hot and burning aura, came from the north.
Sein’s grandmaster, Feylis, finally unleashed all her strength.
This was the power level of a Rank Six creature, representing the elemental power capable of nurturing the peak life form that a medium-sized plane could support.
“WHAT?!” The War Gorilla God looked northward in astonishment.
The cries for help and pleas for mercy from the Fire Gorilla God sent chills down the War Gorilla God.
The War Gorilla God had encountered Rank Six creatures before.
In the mighty Wild Gorilla World, there were two life forms at this level—the pillar and backbone of the entire Wild Gorilla Clan.
Yet, he was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this living Rank Six being.
That wandering god?
How did it possess such formidable power?
How had it concealed its strength until now?
The Wild Gorilla Clan was not good at thinking. Pondering the answers to these questions gave the War Gorilla God a splitting headache.
Yet, this cerebral pain was nothing compared to the impending crisis.
The three metal continents hovering outside the plane spelled trouble!
Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Wild Gorilla Clan had encountered many other civilized creatures, including a few from technological civilizations.
The green lens the War Gorilla God wore over its right eye had been acquired at a steep cost from a technological civilization inferior to the Wild Gorilla World.
The Wild Gorilla Clan had not developed many technological or intellectual innovations. Theirs was still a civilization that embraced passive purification and maintained a barbaric social structure.
Even in the War Gorilla God’s wildest imagination, it had never seen a technological marvel comparable to the three metal continents outside the plane.
Moreover, the imposing presence of the Rank Five pyro elemental giant lying on the planar barrier was clearly not to be underestimated.
Although not the strongest Rank Five creature in the Wild Gorilla World, the War Gorilla God was certainly the most haughty and impudent.
Even the two Rank Six Gorilla Gods had placed great hopes on the War Gorilla God, believing it had the potential to ascend to their ranks in the future.
However, faced with the three imposing metal continents outside the plane and the malevolent pyro elemental giant, the War Gorilla God felt a pang of panic for the first time in ages.
The Rank Five elemental giant outside the plane seemed to match, if not surpass, War Gorilla God in strength.
Not only that he also shared its trait of extreme arrogance.
“The planar will of this world is already so feeble; why hasn’t the planar barrier collapsed yet?” Gregory, in his Elemental Body form, mused as he hammered at the Verdant Wilderness World’s planar barrier with his flaming fist.
All while keeping his eyes fixed on the War Gorilla God below.
The two Rank Five creatures gazed at each other across the thin planar barrier until Gregory finally gave in to his impulse and made the first move.
An ancient, pale magic rod, ablaze with raging verdant flames appeared in his hand.
However, it seemed more like a hammer than a tool for casting spells and enhancing his elemental power.
Instead of using the magic rod for its intended purposes, Gregory wielded it as a physical weapon.
The tip of the magic rod came down like a meteorite and struck the surface of the Verdant Wilderness World’s planar barrier amidst ominous green flames.
Under the assault of Gregory’s formidable divine power and elemental energy, the thin barrier cracked audibly, spiderwebbing under the impact.
After enduring the ravages of countless Rank Four and higher creatures, along with its native inhabitants, how could the relatively fragile Verdant Wilderness World withstand the onslaught of a powerful Rank Five mage?
“Hehehe, this eggshell is about to break. Don’t run, little darling. I’m coming for you!” Gregory cackled.
Unlike the erudite, calm, and wise demeanor typical of mages, Gregory was unabashedly violent.
In a way, this was a distinctive behavior of those from the Verdant Flame Faction lineage.
In the entire Magus World, this faction founded by Feylis was known for being different than the other factions established by fellow mages.
“We’re here to help you!” The voice of Bernice, another of Lorianne’s seniors, echoed through the starry sky outside the plane.
For the Gorilla Gods trapped in the Verdant Wilderness World, the voice was the arrival of yet another foreign god.
The three space fortresses, each distinct in color, loomed outside the world. Positioned centrally on each fortress, the main cannons glowed with the radiant energy of concentrated power.
The emergence of three blinding beams of light made it seem as if the Verdant Wilderness World had suddenly gained three additional suns.
These fierce energy beams were aimed at the plane below!
The calamity facing Verdant Wilderness World intensified.
***
After the war had fully commenced, Sein found his tasks somewhat easier.
He was directly involved in setting up the large spatial gates that constantly flooded the Verdant Wilderness World with legions.
These legions were elite troops from the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame, presided over by his grandmaster.
The Divine Tower of Verdant Flame was indeed a venerable organization in the Magus World, ranking as a top-tier divine tower.
Governed by Feylis, a Rank Six mage, it stood out in the Magus world for its comprehensive strength. There were only a few divine towers in the Magus World that could match its overall strength.
Above these divine towers were actually soul towers built by mages of Rank Seven and higher.
The legions of enslaved creatures dispatched by the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame were far more formidable than those of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, which had relied on minotaurlings and centaurs acquired at minimal costs during the Verdant Leaf World War.
The elite enslaved creatures of the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame participating in this interplanar war each boasted strengths of Rank One or higher.
This was the result of long-term accumulation and countless wars.
Compared to the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame, the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring still had a lot to achieve before it could catch up.
Since Sein was a mage affiliated with the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, the mages from the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame who arrived first at the Verdant Wilderness World battlefield had no authority over him.
Moreover, the mages from the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame were not foolish enough to offend another tower master’s apprentice.
Some had even heard that Sein was responsible for constructing the spatial gate in the Verdant Wilderness World.
“Just wait here for a while and entertain yourself. You can return once our Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army descends,” Lorianne’s elemental clone instructed Sein.
With that, she turned into a ray of green elemental light and vanished.
This time, she had disappeared for real, as her main body was now outside the Verdant Wilderness World.
Besides, she had to recall her clone to regain her strength.
Sein nodded respectfully and watched the spot where Lorianne had vanished until he felt the complete absence of her aura.
He absentmindedly touched his earlobe, reflecting on the recent years he had spent with Lorianne by his side.
To his surprise, he found himself unaccustomed to her sudden absence.
