Chapter 555: Paradise On Earth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the Lord of Storm sent the signal, a black storm that seemed to be the end of the world suddenly burst out with the massive transmission magic circles as the center, collapsing the pillars and the dome of the Radiance Church that had been strengthened by the divine power.

The buildings on the left were melted like glass, and those on the right were frozen into ice. They were translucent and emitting brilliant colors. Then, coldness and heat were switched, turning all of them into powder or gas.

In the meantime, silver lightning struck the massive transmission magic circles in ear splitting sounds like giant serpents. Every lightning strike carried the terrifying air of destruction. The magnificent electromagnetic power twisted everything around. The wind and the thunder let out roars that astounded the mind.

It was ‘Furious Storm’, the fundamental magic of Fernando’s legendary class!

However, ‘God’s Guard’ that Mecantron had cast with the projection of Mountain Paradise seemed to have kept himself and the massive transmission magic circles in the dream land that only the holy spirits and angels could reach. It was the sanctuary where the God of Truth was going to save the world!

The destructive storm, lightning, heat and frigidness, when imposed on ‘God’s Guard’, penetrated through it without causing any interferences. The ripples that did not belong to this world were still spreading out in blur.

It was indeed as expected of ‘God’s Guard’ and ‘The Angel King’, the highest angel that had ever arrived and the being at the peak of legendary!

Also, he seemed to have arrived in person this time!

The Congress of Magic and Lucien had thought that Sard had been manipulating the extremists, who were claimed to be enchanted by the great prophet and the reincarnation of the Angel King. Therefore, they had been most cautious of him. It never occurred to them that the Angel King, known as ‘God of Truth Jr.’, was indeed involved.

Perhaps, he was the big shot behind Sard?

Then, what was their relationship with the pope and the other Grand Cardinals? Was it a trap that they set up together, or was it meant to take advantage of both sides?

Fernando thought quickly while continuing his legendary magic. He pondered over Mecantron and Sard’s purpose and was prepared to change the plan.

Without the protection of the barrier of divine power, the Radiance Church was reduced into remains under ‘Furious Storm’. Donald, Thompson and the other archmages and senior-rank sorcerers, as well as part of the clerics who were inclined to the Congress, hurried to withdraw. This was a battlefield that belonged to the legendary. They could not participate at all.

Such a change turned the worries in their heart into actual anxiety. At this moment, a peaceful and steady voice echoed from midair. “Fall back to Allyn. The other people will attack with me. While God’s Guard is the ultimate of defensive spells and claims to be immune to all damage, it does have an upper bound that it can bear. We can easily break it if we join our hands!”

The man who stood and supported the Congress for hundreds of years came. His familiar and gentle voice pacified Thompson and other sorcerers, who were assured that everything was still under control. The Congress would never suffer a destructive strike as long as Mr. President was alive!

In the sky, Douglas floated on one side, with light glowing in his hands as if a new sun was about to rise, while the other legendary sorcerers stood separately on other directions, in case God’s Arrival killed them all at once.

The Element Designator, the Hand of Annihilation, the Witch of Iceland, the Prophet, the Eye of Curse, the Light of Stars, the Sun King, the Alchemy Master... Seeing that the eleven legendary sorcerers of the Congress of Magic had been gathered here, Donald and the rest of them were even more reassured. They flew into Allyn whose locks had been opened.

Allyn had been surrounded by brilliant ‘stars’. The City in the Sky that had one of the best locks could be used as an level-three legendary expert at the critical moment. However, its power was not enough to support it for long, unless the ‘perpetual furnace’, the magnetic-restrained nuclear fusion reactor that Lucien designed, could become a reality.

......

In the Rentato abbey...

Arthur, tough and aggressive, stood before the radical cardinals, bishops and reverends and declared piously and zealously, “It’s time for us to sacrifice ourselves!”

“Only Truth lives forever!” Those cardinals, bishops and reverends kneeled before the cross and began to pray.

Arthur turned around and crossed his arms before his chest. He then lay down on the ground and chanted:

“You are one, and everyone.”

“You are the beginning, and the end.”

“You are the creator, and master.”

“... Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

The other cardinals recited after him:

“... Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Holy light spread out from their bodies gently, dyeing them with bright and clean colors, as if wings were surfacing on their backs. The holy light was connected and expanded into an ocean that surged towards the east of Rentato.

Stone was both surprised and confused at the situation of the Knights of Grail. He asked gravely: “Paradise on Earth?”

It was a divine barrier that was only second to God’s Guard and was on par with God’s Guard. It could transform the land within a certain range into a ‘paradise on earth’. However, it could only be used at a horrifying price. More than twenty cardinals, an equal number of angels, a hundred cardinals and a thousand reverends had to be sacrificed. The ritual also had to be hosted by the experts in the level of seraph.

With the Rentato abbey as the starting point, the ocean of holy light flowed towards the district of nobles on the east of the city quickly. In the next moment, the churches where the radical clerics gathered also yielded holy light. One node after another, the whole area was illuminated.

If somebody were to observe the ground from Allyn in the sky, they would discover that the most massive spots of light were on the east of Rentato, as if many holy spirits and reverends were singing and praying. The more it was to the east, the fewer such light spots there were but the brighter they were. It could be seen with the naked eye that they were divided into six floors.

When the holy light was gathered, it reverberated with the overall divine power array of Rentato. The light was more and more dazzling, until it was connected to the Angel King who performed God’s Guard.

“You are one, and everyone...”

“... Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

The enormous, hallowed prayers echoed in the entire Rentato, and the holy light began to twist.

In the sky, Thompson discovered, to his shock, that from the west to the east of the city, the projection of the first floor of Mountain Paradise, the projection of the second floor and so on had appeared. It seemed that paradise had arrived on earth!

Douglas, Fernando and the rest of them felt that they were immersed in the ocean of holy light, and that their spiritual power became inert. Also, they seemed to be separated from the real world. Until they broke ‘Paradise on Earth’, Rentato could not be damaged at all.

However, ‘Paradise on Earth’ could only weaken the legendary experts to some extent. The higher level they were in, the less affected they would be. Douglas was soon back to himself and was ready to launch his magic.

At this moment, the massive transmission magic circles suddenly glowed, and thirteen shadows appeared inside.

“Melmax, Anasta, Maria, Augusta, Anthony, Varantine, Arzaro, Astira, Vaharall...”

Five saints, eight saint cardinals or divine knights, and the Angel King, the number and strength of the Church’s side immediately surpassed those of the Congress of Magic.

Fernando, however, slightly sighed in relief and dropped the idea of activating ‘Plan D’. The fact that only thirteen Grand Cardinals came meant that the pope was caught unprepared, too, and failed to mobilize even more forces in the emergency. It suggested that Sard and the Angel King were not on the same boat as the pope. Even the pope was one of their targets in their scheme.

Therefore, as long as the sorcerers suppressed the attack before more reinforcements came, they would still be able to turn things around. Then, everything would be much easier!

......

When ‘Plan C’ entered his ear from his monocle, Lucien immediately dropped his previous fear and worries, not considering the danger of this plan anymore.

After activating Advanced Acceleration, he turned into a blurred shadow and rushed towards the Nekso Palace to help Nekso Palace control the overall barrier of divine power of Rentato city. However, Lucien was not in too much of a hurry, as if he were waiting for something before he entered the Nekso Palace.

Hardly had he run for a few steps when the holy light of ‘Paradise on Earth’ drowned Lucien. The suffocatingly dense brilliance slowed down his spiritual power, and his magic strength seemed to be lowered by one level.

Not far away, a coachman observed everything in bewilderment. He extended his hands and tried to touch the ocean of holy light, only to pass through it directly.

It gave both him and his horse a shock. His horse began to rush at Lucien.

Subconsciously, Lucien cast a ‘Deferment’ to stop it, but the coachman and the dragon scale horse were not influenced at all. They passed through Lucien’s body as if he were nothing more than an illusion, without causing the slightest collision!

“This is...” Looking at the twisted buildings and trees around, Lucien suddenly had the feeling that the World of Souls had arrived. They overlapped with the real world without affecting the people and objects in the real world in exactly the same way, except that one of them was silent and frozen, and the other was pure and fervent.

But why was he trapped in it when the coachman was still in the ‘original Rentato’?

“Because only the people who wields supernatural abilities will be pulled into ‘Paradise on Earth’. If you dispel your magic, you will return to reality slowly.” A hoarse voice came from the front, and a woman whose face was full of hatred walked out from the back of a building twisted in the holy light. “But I won’t give you the opportunity to return. The blood of four captains and more than twenty partners will be paid off today.”

“Captains, do you see this?”

Four pure wings grow from her back and perfectly coexisted with the holy light around. However, her strength was highly unstable. It seemed that it would be beyond her control very soon.

“Juliana?” Asked Lucien in a low voice.

“There’s also me, Mr. Professor, your old friend.” On the other side, Minsk, the ‘Red Dragon’ wearing a white tuxedo, also walked out, with the same four angelic wings on the back.

He chuckled. “In the glory of Paradise on Earth, your magic strength is suppressed, and your legendary ring is no longer usable. We will serve you well and make you regret everything you have done.” historical

“Right, Grand Cardinal Sard wants your Sun’s Corona, the badge that contains the final coordinates of Maskelyne and his fellows.”

Juliana also smiled and said, “After we kill you, your beloved queen won’t live long, and we will send your Uncle Joel and Aunt Alisa to hell to join your company soon. They will tell you how they were killed in tears. Minsk, be wary of his left hand, which can nullify curses. Do not use the divine powers in the curse category.”

“Nullify curses?” Lucien looked at high left hand. Where did they obtain their intelligence?
