Chapter 453: Chapter 451: A Spark of Fire

At the same time, Thistlefort, Magnificent Castle, and City of Defense were holding grand ceremonies for the advent of the divine.

In the center of these three cities, Chaoyang created an incredibly majestic illusion with his avatars: A golden gate appeared in the sky, and the figure of the Paradise Master, with wings and feet treading on thunder, emerged from the gateway, looking down upon the myriad of mortals below. The hundreds of thousands of believers congregated on the streets and plazas were so excited they couldn’t contain themselves, raising their hands and praising their divinities.

This wasn’t something Chaoyang enjoyed doing.

But now he needed wishing power, the more the better.

And such a ceremony was essentially an official bond—he collected wishing power from the followers first and would repay everyone later with better treatment. As long as the Paradise Sect didn’t go bankrupt, the bonds were an excellent way to raise funds.

As for his main controlling body, at this moment it descended to an altitude of one thousand five hundred meters, and after penetrating the clouds, the entire outline of the Royal City came into his view.

Just then, three snow-white pillars of light rose from the east!

Two of them were very close to each other, with the third a little farther away, but each was a pillar that seemed to support the heaven and earth—sturdy celestial columns!

This was a "spectacular scene" that only Chaoyang could see.

The place where the three pillars of light rose was precisely the three cities belonging to the Paradise Sect!

This wishing power light converged from the Old and new continents, surging into his body, and the once-dry Wish Power Pool began to shimmer with ripples again.

The Mechanical Birds circling above the Royal City also noticed Chaoyang in descent, as thousands of them started to ascend in his direction, heading towards the trajectory of his fall.

Chaoyang noticed that these birds had undergone new changes; their flapping wings were gone, replaced by three rotors... The front two rotors could even rotate 90 degrees around the body, looking just like miniature Osprey transport aircraft!

Undoubtedly, the Paradise Master could sense everything happening on Earth and used the new mechanical structures learned there to continuously refine the army he had bred.

There was no need to change the production process, no need to alter the production machinery. The moment he saw something, he learned it, and the finished product grew directly from the ground—this ability was absolutely at T0 level. If Kosmos had not been corrupted by the Evil God, it might have been able to achieve the new world envisioned by Duke Longjiu.

"Open the Labyrinth!"

Chaoyang instantly expanded the range of his Divine Country tenfold and set up the first Labyrinth barrier: the outer layer of air lost its buoyancy.

The newly acquired wishing power drained away like a tide, forming a transparent circle with a hundred-meter radius around him.

The Mechanical Birds could not detect this subtle change; they still swarmed in, plunging headlong into the Labyrinth. The next second, their rotors lost all power—even with unchanged rotational speed, the propellers could not provide them with a hint of lift, as if they were in a vacuum.

Immediately, they fell like raindrops, colliding with those coming behind them, causing a larger-scale "aircraft crash."

This was also a drawback of the Tri-Rotors, although they were faster than the Flap Wings, they were also more fragile. Once the high-speed spinning blades hit something hard, they would shatter in an instant.

Realizing they couldn’t get close to the "invader," the Mechanical Birds decisively adopted a second interception method: long-range explosions.

Clusters of fireballs went off one after another around Chaoyang, and the roar immediately filled the sky above the Royal City!

However, Chaoyang had set up a second barrier: the middle layer of air could not be compressed.

The shockwaves from the explosions and the flying shrapnel all seemed to hit an invisible wall about five or six meters from Chaoyang! The fragments were smashed into even smaller metal particles, while the shockwaves were entirely scattered, a process that even caused a second round of blasts.

"Not bad at all, changing the parameters of one material, using minimal resources for wide-area defense, you’re quite adept at utilizing Unfathomed’s power," Shi Yin complimented softly.

"I had to resort to tricks because there wasn’t enough wishing power," Chaoyang admitted modestly. As everyone knows, once a bullet enters the water, its kinetic energy decreases significantly, and explosions on the water’s surface are unlikely to affect what’s underwater. The reason is that liquids are extremely difficult to compress, which essentially translates to a significant increase in resistance. So by giving the air this property, he was able to construct around himself a transparent wall as sturdy as a steel-reinforced fortress.

Accompanied by the continuous explosions of the mechanical birds, Chaoyang, trailing a series of flames and thick smoke, approached an altitude of five hundred meters.

Shi Yin suddenly lost his voice.

At the same time, he noticed that the wishing power that had just poured into his body was rapidly depleting; at this rate, it would be exhausted in a few seconds.

This indicated that he had already breached into the invisible realm of The Divine Country.

What followed was a pure confrontation of wishing power.

On one side was the corruption of the Evil God’s power, and on the other was the autonomous protection of The Divine Country.

He would either be completely altered by the Evil God or break through in one go to the Underground Palace where the God of All Machines resided!

If this attempt failed, he wouldn’t have extra wishing power to organize another assault like this for the next one or two months.

Suddenly, Chaoyang, standing on the open ground of the control center, opened his eyes.

A strand of wish that didn’t belong to the believers descended from the sky and landed on the tip of his nose. He looked up at the sky and was shocked to find countless white spots in the night sky, like winter snowflakes fluttering about.

Although they were so weak that they couldn’t form a thread and could only gather like fireflies, they were indeed genuine wishing power, each speck representing a plea.

+1.

+5.

+376...

The light of fireflies can also illuminate lighthouses; the Wish Power Pool had a surplus once again!

Chaoyang immediately transferred all this wishing power to his main control body!

seconds.

Just hold on for 21 more seconds, and he could land!

At this moment, the global live broadcast had reached a new phase. Billions of viewers saw that their prayers were indeed effective; the grievously wounded "heroes" were enveloped by a holy radiance falling from the sky, and all their injuries were healed! Even the souls of the two unfortunate casualties separated from their bodies and ascended into the illuminated sky. Then, a giant figure emerged in the air, reached out, and pressed down on the flesh-machine thrashing with numerous tentacles, greatly reducing the pressure on the "heroes."

Even without subtitles, it was clear to everyone that this giant shadow was a divinity. The fight had reached the moment of deciding victory or defeat. The enemy’s resistance seemed ferocious and brutal, but in the face of the revitalized Savior, it was at the end of its tether—just a little more prayer from everyone, and victory was within sight!

Even more exhilarating was that in some cities and areas attacked by the machine army, locals found that the renegade machines’ movements had significantly slowed down, as if they were running out of power!

Wasn’t this precisely the predicament of the sinister mastermind shown in the live broadcast!?

Hence, more and more people joined in the prayer, offering a share of their strength to the battle—

If at this moment Chaoyang could look down upon Earth from space with the Spiritual Rhinoceros Vista, he would see this radiant white light blooming all over the world and continuously converging towards the Eastern Continent.

+1753251!

The wishing power received from Earth surpassed that of the three cities of the Paradise Sect for the first time!

Now less than two hundred meters from the Shengxia Royal Palace, Chaoyang could feel the malicious intent of the Evil God washing over him like a tangible force; the numbness and coldness that saturated his soul were neither of Rot Divine nor of the God of Causality, nor did they belong to Unfathomed—it was indeed an Evil God he had never encountered before. Fortunately, with the replenishment of a large amount of new wishing power, The Divine Country had only shrunk by two layers, and its outline remained intact!
