Chapter 1067: Chapter 544: The Unassailable Empress of Ten Thousand Cities, The Heretic Capital!!!_2

Ivita’s Light Soul and Dark Soul swept over the sacred lands, through the connected Kokoyar Peninsula, where divination revealed a shocking scene: amid a sky and earth scorched red, the very universe had been torn asunder, and a colossal Sun God descended from the heavens, dying upon these two continents.

The Sun God’s body fragmented into innumerable parts, with its blood nourishing the land and its flesh turning into myriad deities.

"It was an ancient deity from Heaven who fell here, that presence of power... is the Divine King," Ivita realized the gravity of the situation. "No wonder the World Tree can be summoned here, to be born here. There is a legacy of a Divine King, yet these territorial gods failed to protect their power."

"From the current situation, the Kokoyar has not been colonized by anyone... No, it can also be said that twenty years ago, Teresa, with the support of Pinocchio’s master, had already replaced the Alsace Family in colonizing this region."

"The Knotted Mountain Range in the south seems to have been invaded by the Two Fang Kingdom, while the region of Blood Ring Mountain in the north has been encroached by the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Frank, and the Two Fang Crown."

"Those territorial gods need the reverence of the natives, but now, not only are there fewer natives, they are even more fearful of the people of the Magic Black Forest."

Coming back to her senses, Ivita nodded at Teresa. "Thank you, Teresa. Now I must take the Hearthstone Witch and return."

Amidst Teresa’s complex gaze, Ivita met with the Hearthstone Witch and the Flying Dragon Knight Regiment, heading toward the Dark Magic Forest.

In a sense, Teresa’s act of capturing the God of the Epoch had already brought enormous resources to the Alsace Family, resulting in, practically speaking, the Alsace Family being the deepest colonizers of the New World.

After connecting with the various sacred lands of faith in the New World, Ivita suddenly realized something. "The one using Teresa, he must have known about the New World’s existence long ago. Since I can connect to the centers of faith of the New World’s territorial gods, so can he. With such potent, untapped energy in the New World, who knows what he could do with it."

Half a day later, Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch parted ways with the Flying Dragon Knight Regiment above the Black Magic Forest Continent.

Ivita made a beeline for the direction of the Pagan Empire.

He was about to leave the Black Magic Forest Universe, wanting to make reasonable use of this opportunity before vanishing completely.

However, before reaching the Heretic Capital, Ivita first had the Hearthstone Witch take a detour to the Raven Kingdom. Since Ivita now held the Raven Rules, the Raven Kingdom could be considered his territory, although it was impossible to actually control.

"Hearthstone Witch, you may stay at the border between the Raven Kingdom and the Pagan Empire," Ivita instructed the Hearthstone Witch. "Here, the Curse I cast before I disappear can still affect you through the Border Magic."

The Hearthstone Witch, puzzled, spoke to Ivita, "Your Highness, must you go there alone?"

"Why not take some troops with you?"

"No need, I must disappear within the Black Magic Universe for a while." Ivita responded. "I want to make reasonable use of this opportunity."

"If I can kill the Emperor of the pagans, I can roughly confirm the identity of the one who has been hidden behind the scenes, driving fate."

"If I cannot kill the Emperor, then it proves I guessed wrong. The Pagan Empire seems to be outwardly strong but hollow within, with nationalistic ideas already spread by Frank. The nation that Oyo III struggled to uphold all his life is being dismantled by these ideas, and the Pagan Empire is likely to be the next victim."

"If I kill their Emperor and plunge them into a war of succession, they may well be completely finished."

"That person? Who exactly is that person? We just need to find him and kill him," the Hearthstone Witch expressed her doubts. "Besides, all the pagans are united by faith."

Ivita shook his head. "On the surface, it appears to be faith, but can faith truly transcend ethnicity, bringing different people together? In reality, I believe it was the Pagan Empire’s mighty military force and generous rewards that organized this empire of faith."

In the midst of their conversation, Ivita had already opened the bronze ship and, steering the ancient magic vessel, headed towards the capital of the Pagan Empire.

The capital of the Pagan Empire, known as the Empress of Ten Thousand Cities, had only been breached three times in a thousand years. Moreover, this city, which connected two oceans, could easily collect additional trade tax revenues. Thus, it signified that as long as the pagans controlled this city, they could secure a ceaseless flow of taxes.

Furthermore, this city was still the Metropolitan Archbishopric of the Ross Empire’s church.

It was a city filled with historical splendor, where powerful civilization and noble faith converged. This was in stark contrast to the primal tropical rainforest landscape and local culture where Ivita had been just half a day earlier.

As Ivita, transformed into a Dragon Hawk, neared the city of the Empress of Ten Thousand Cities, a flock of Blood Ravens suddenly blocked her path.

The newcomers were none other than the Imperial Capital Sea Witch Team.

It was said that the Imperial Capital Sea, located on Empire Island, the capital of the Kingdom of Frank, was an otherworldly place. The only entrance was a well in a small alley, but once inside the well, one found themselves in a vast ocean.

The expanse of that ocean was no less than The Mediterranean, albeit with very few islands, most of it consisting of unfathomable deep sea.

The creatures in this deep sea were exceptionally rare.

However, any creature from these depths was inevitably enormous and its body comprised rare magical materials. At the same time, some islands within this otherworldly ocean harbored many mighty beings that fed on sea creatures. It was these resources that gave the Imperial Capital Sea Witch Team their distinctive edge in summoning magic and water spells.

Ivita reverted to human form in midair and used a flying spell to hover. "You actually know where I am going and what I am doing. The Imperial Capital Sea Witches certainly don’t have such abilities. Are you here to stop me?"

The Blood Ravens too reverted to human form, and the new leader of the Witch Group looked coldly at Ivita and said, "The Frank Empire has profound depths, and naturally, there are those who would inform us of your purpose."

"But we aren’t here to stop you."

"We are here to help you. That person said—’Your current thought is meaningless, for it is theoretically impossible to even approach the Pagan Emperor. The pagans’ capital is protected by the world’s tallest and mightiest walls that obstruct every invading enemy. Even you would not find a way to breach these walls in short order.’"

Ivita asked in wonder, "Oh, then what should I do?"

’Was it divination that confirmed my thoughts? No, it’s nearly impossible in magic to determine my future thoughts through divination. They must have guessed my thoughts based on my situation and actions.’

The new leader of the Witch Group emotionlessly relayed, "The most impregnable part of the Empress of Ten Thousand Cities lies in The Wall of Hercules. For many years, countless attempts to breach this wall have failed. The only three successful times were all due to the help from insiders. You too must find internal allies."

"The Wall of Hercules is a structure that successive Emperors of Ancient Civilization have continuously fortified; it’s almost impossible for it to have any flaws. Even the Witch King cannot break through it."

Ivita pondered this information.

The new leader of the Imperial Capital Sea Witch Team pulled out a key and handed it to Ivita. "This is the key to a minor gate, number 3, on the west side of the wall. There is no need for fanfare; by using a Complete Transformation Skill, you can easily enter."

"We specifically came to prevent you from using brute force to invade the Pagan capital."

Taking the key, Ivita finally had a basic confirmation of the identity of the person behind the scenes.
