Deep in the sky, the huge diamond-shaped crystal rotated slowly, in the center of it, it had opened up an enormous Abyss Gate.
For the first time, many wizards of the Wizard Alliance saw such a sight. They knew the horrors of the abyss, but never really knew the true power of the abyss, and as the Lord of the Abyss Door reached the depths of the Astral World, the huge black halo was threw out from the body of the Lord of the Abyss Door, Talos; an Abyss Gate was fixed.
That was probably the largest Abyss Gate ever; it was personally opened by Lord of the Abyss Door.
Countless devils from the abyss were frantically gus.h.i.+ng out, it was overwhelming. Millions, ten millions, there was a steady stream of them, as if there would never be an end, one would never had imagined how many devils from the abyss were there and how many different species and types there were.
All kinds of oddly shaped devils, there were human-like, all kinds of monstrous animal forms, there were some which were similar to an insect, and there were dragons which spread its wings and flew; those powerful creatures when they had entered Astral World, it was as if they had attained freedom and were moving freely around.
One of the many devil species was looking like a huge tree and it was climbing out of the Abyss Gate, the huge body was simply beyond everyone's imagination. If it was in the Starsoul World, its body was enough to root to the ground in one step, and the other end would sunk into the bitwall. Its huge form was like a legendary World Tree, but when its evil vines were waving, there were countless tiny insect-like devils embedded on its body, those tiny devils were dancing along with its moving vines.
It was directly rooted outside the new world, it was waiting for the rules of the world to stabilize, and then it would enter the new world. That was a Devil Lord from the depth of the abyss, from its appearance, many wizards from the Wizard Alliance, unconsciously blurted out its real name.
Those devils ignored all kinds of bad weather in Astral World, even the lowest cla.s.s of devils; for them, there wasn't much difference when comparing the abyss and the Astral World. Astral World was like a paradise.
Outside the new world, the devils were in a chaos, especially when they gradually surrounded the Abyss Gate, built their own nests of devils, and waited for the new world to arrive.
Just then, a red metal broke out of s.p.a.ce, it was dropped on top of the Abyss Gate, through the portal, it set off an element storm, and it hit the Lord of the Abyss Door, Talos.
That was an Elemental Pyrolysis Bomb, it was an item in the Level Eight mythical alchemy, and its manufacture involved a mythical wizard's ability in handling rules. It was launched by the Wizard Alliance in an effort to destroy and block the devils from the abyss; they took the chance when the devils from the abyss hadn't yet established a stable territory and protection. They had to destroy the Abyss Gate.
Elemental Pyrolysis Bomb exploded instantly; it gave off a dazzling brilliance which was akin to the sun. It set off violent element storm, a gorgeous halo spread out, it was a beautiful scene but tainted with deadly danger.
It instantly devoured thousands of devils in silence, there was no screams and blood shed, in a flash of light, everything disappeared, and the halo was still spreading, and more than ten million devils vanished in a blink of an eye; they had no time to escape, no time to react, and most died from the explosion.
Just then, the huge black diamond crystal spun violently, the darkness from the depth of Astral World seemed to be revolving around it and was condensing towards the middle of it; it instantly engulfed everything around.
The wizards who were observing the depth of Astral World found out that they had suddenly lost all the images of the place they were observing; the Lord of the Abyss Door seemed to have devoured all the light, it was akin to a black hole, the halo which was expanding and was about to devour and destroy all of the devils' nests, and the element storm which was das.h.i.+ng toward the Abyss Gate disappeared all of a sudden.
“What is this? s.p.a.ce capabilities?” Cook Bay continuously played back the scene, he couldn't understand what was going on; the ability of the Lord of the Abyss Door was too bizarre and eerie.
“We're not familiar with the means of a devil monarch, but it's so terrible, that's an Elemental Pyrolysis Bomb in the Level Eight of mythical alchemy.” Another mythical wizard was dumbfounded.
“It's the first time we've used it, and the power is as scary as we thought it to be, but I didn't expect that the power of the devil monarch was even more terrible.”
Just then, Catherine, the master of the tower, said, “Activate the Eternal Floating-s.p.a.ce City, activate the engine of the magic machine, speed up to its limit, we must be at the new world immediately; go to war with the abyss's devils.”
Catherine looked back at all the mythical wizards, she waved her white sleeves, and revealed her elegant palm which was radiating, “Everyone, the real war has come, this time in the depths of Astral World, and we're facing the Abyss World.”
Underneath the huge Eternal Floating-s.p.a.ce City was a circle of light which was all lit up, the Magic Crystal Network which was crisscrossing was instantly activated, strong mana fluctuations set off a blast of air, it shook the clouds of the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall and it broke off from the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall. It broke through the bitwall and into the depths of Astral World, it moved towards the new world and the Abyss Gate.
And in that moment, the darkness dissipated, the sun rays from the new world re-illuminated the Abyss Gate and the area where the devils were located. The devils of the abyss that had just arrived were severely damaged. An Elemental Pyrolysis Bomb of the Level Eight of mythical alchemy had wiped out all of them, not even a sc.u.m was left, and it was as if they were erased from Astral World with an eraser.
But that was not worth mentioning in the Abyss World, lower cla.s.s devils were merely cannon fodder and garbage, there was a steady stream of them pouring out of the Abyss World again. They were frantically crawling out of the Abyss Gate, they were desperate to escape the Abyss World and to the outside.
It was as if the empty and cold Astral World outside was a temptation for them.
Just then, the huge Abyss Gate suddenly trembled, the flow of the different species of devils from the abyss stopped gus.h.i.+ng out in an instant, as if a river was cut off.
And the violent tremor continued, as if something terrible was crossing from the other side of the abyss to the Abyss Gate, but such an enormous Abyss Gate couldn't even accommodate its body.
s.p.a.ce was like a thin film or fis.h.i.+ng net which was twisted from the tension, and as the devilish force of the abyss broke apart, a huge white palm stretched out of the Abyss Gate, and then a large white skull that looked like a mountain, protruded through the door.
The second devil monarch… had arrived.
Wizards' calendar, 10035, the abyss had revealed its power to the world for the very first time. In the battle for the new fourth world, they had a fierce battle with the Wizard Alliance. Wizard Alliance had a huge half bitwall of the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall, a Floating-s.p.a.ce City, more than ten mythical wizards, and constant support from the Starsoul world.
But the Abyss World had descended three devil monarchs, in addition to Talos, the Lord of the Abyss Door who guarded and maintained the Abyss Gate, there was also the King of Skeleton, Mondirot, the Mother of Sinister Spider, h.e.l.lagon, and the never-ending devils from the abyss.
A single blow from the core annihilation element of the huge Floating-s.p.a.ce City was enough to destroy a continent. Numerous mythical alchemy towers were scattered around and were constantly attacking the devil's territory.
Not to mention the Eternal Floating-s.p.a.ce City of Catherine, the kingdom of a mythical wizard, every one of them could feel the protection by the forest fairy, as long as they weren't dead from a single blow or their soul was destroyed, they would be resurrected. At the same time, the mythical kingdom constantly dispersed flower seedlings, as long as it was adsorbed by a devil, a large number of flower fairies would immediately evolved and devoured the devil.
But under the constant deathly attacks of the devils and the constant attacks of the two devil monarchs, the Floating-s.p.a.ce City was beginning to be torn and tattered, and even an alchemy tower of a mythical wizard was destroyed.
After the appearance of the Mother of Sinister Spider, h.e.l.lagon – her ability was to drag the consciousness of mythical wizards into her own sinister territory – four undead mythical wizards were p.r.o.nounced dead on the spot in the battlefield on Astral World.
At the same time, the three Devil Lords from the depth of the abyss who invaded the Eternal Floating-s.p.a.ce City were engulfed by Catherine's realm of mythical wizard; they were turned into flower fertilizer. And 13 Devil Lords, who were in the midst of the battle, which were smashed by the Floating-s.p.a.ce Towers, their devil's body returned to the Abyss World to wait for rebirth.
They had fought the war for three years, the battlefield was dreadful and beyond imagination, the entire battlefield in Astral World had become the meat grinder of humans and devils, even with the perfect civilization system of the Wizard Alliance, they could no longer sustain the fight.
At last, the devil monarch, King of Skeleton, paid a heavy price; the Floating-s.p.a.ce City which was controlled by mythical wizard, Catherine, had destroyed half of its body, but in a desperate attempt, it crashed onto the Floating-s.p.a.ce City. Its huge devilish skeleton body directly crushed and shattered the corner of the Floating-s.p.a.ce City. It broke the perfect kingdom of the mythical wizard and the Magic Crystal Network; it forced the entire Wizard Alliance Corps to retreat.
The first battle in Astral World ended with a ma.s.sive retreat of the Wizard Alliance, and the world saw for the first time the terrible and powerful forces of the devils of the Abyss World.
And this year was considered to be the first year of the Astral World's Calendar, recognized by Wizard Alliance and Divine Kingdom. The original calendar used by its internal world was insufficient, especially in the comparison of time; there were still some differences between the world's rate of time flow and the Astral World's rate of time flow. Everyone decided to use the Astral World's Calendar voluntarily. At the same time, they had set this year as the first year of the Astral World's Calendar.
However, that set of Astral World's Calendar was only used in the Astral World, and within each world, their respective calendars were still used.
