"Moreover, if the opponent uses their mental power to distort physical laws, they can achieve perpetual energy."

"However, even insignificant damage can accumulate and eventually prove fatal. To fight against the army created by three hundred thousand abyss worms is foolish. Everything is a hotbed for the Chaos Abyss."

Next to the hill where the three worm queens resided, corpses were strewn everywhere. Countless abyss protozoans, resembling wireworms, wriggled over the bodies of animals and humans, along with some anomalous creatures, allowing grown-up roach worms to hatch.

The statements of the three queen worms were not unfounded. To battle the Chaos Abyss, one must prepare to combat endless enemies."

But the three queen worms were also very nervous.

Because the displayed mental power of the adversary was so potent that it was extremely rare even within the Chaos Abyss."

Farther away, in an ancient tomb, a hairy monster perplexedly climbed out of his coffin, casting a glance at the genuflected zombie underlings beside him.

How odd.

He was supposed to have been slain by the heir of Lombardy with a sword, so why was he crawling out of his stone coffin?

Surrounding zombies began to praise him.

"Great King of the Ancient Tomb, the great resistor, you led us against the reign of the Iron Crown. As the offspring of the king who inherited the blood of the Iron Crown, you lead us as rebels of Lombardy."

The King of the Ancient Tomb removed the crown from his head, looking confused. "This Time-Stopping Crown should have been cut in half by the Iron King. Why is it still intact now?"

"I think... I’m starting to understand. It seems the Iron Crown has fallen, and the timeline of this kingdom is in chaos. I exist in the past time space, where I am still alive, but I can step into the future time space."

The King of the Ancient Tomb stepped out of his stone coffin. "I’m resurrected. This is my second chance. Only by completely destroying the Iron Crown can we be free after death. If a law even restricts the dead then this is completely wrong."

Suddenly, he looked up at the southern sky, where the horizon had become considerably brighter.

That brightness forced him to shield his eyes with his hand.

"No, it’s too bright, too bright." The King of the Ancient Tomb found it glaring. ’Annoying light, there’s a wizard meddling with this land once again. This power is even stronger than the witch that was with the Iron King."

"That was already a Witch Marquis. It seems I have another enemy on my path to destroy this backward Iron Crown."

Turning to the rows of zombies kneeling before him, the King of the Ancient Tomb said, "Although I am not sure why things have become like this, our chance for revenge against the Iron Crown has come. I, the King of the Ancient Tomb, will lead you to freedom. From now on, kill all the heirs of the Iron Crown. We are all victims of the Iron Crown!"

The numerous zombies bared their fangs, expressing their anger and delight.

At a greater distance, on a circular altar filled with candles, a group of men in black robes was praying to the sun. In the middle of the ceremony held by the black-robed hierarch of the Sun God Sect, the flames of all the candles on the altar suddenly blazed in intensity before then extinguishing. As each candle went out, a congregant who was reciting the cult’s doctrines fell dead.

After the last candle was extinguished.

The sweat-drenched hierarch opened his eyes and announced to the congregation, "The ritual of summoning our god tends to be easily influenced by the outside world. Just now, someone inexplicably changed the physical laws of an entire city, leading to the failure of our ritual."

"Nevertheless, our god warned me to avoid that witch who released such a level of spiritual power. Continue hunting the heirs of the Iron Crown until we find a suitable host for our god. This world has experienced too many tragedies due to the Iron Crown, and now is the best time to end these tragedies."

"All of our followers are impoverished, all of us have been pushed to the brink. Destroying the Iron Crown is the dream of all of us!"

The fervor of the congregation grew, making everyone eager to immediately tear down the Iron Crown.

...

In the southern port city, Ivita had, with her Light Soul and the Dark Door, suddenly transported more than five thousand people and some of their houses to a parcel of land forty kilometers away. That land belonged to Ravenna, a nation and the Church adjacent to the Lombardy Duchy.

This was territory that the Chaos Abyss dared not infringe.

Because that would mean Chaos Abyss breaking its promise, invading territories that had no connection to it.

At the town entrance, Ivita sat on the ground, panting. He felt his Light Soul temporarily dimmed, and it would need at least three days to be used again. Even the infinite magic power of Soul Heavenly Palace was tending towards exhaustion. It would need a day to recover at least.

However, after he brought these people here, abandoning the buildings of other cities, he felt a certain connection subtly coming from Lombardy Duchy.

It was as if the Iron Crown was actively contacting him.

The Hearthstone Witch somewhat uneasily asked Ivita, "You...are you alright?"

Ivita nodded. "Hmm."

The Great Witch of the port city was agape, because she hadn’t expected that Ivita had truly teleported the city to another location.

When the surrounding soldiers realized this, they knelt on the ground, pledging their loyalty to Ivita despite their injuries.

Those town residents who were aware also followed suit, kneeling before Ivita as an expression of gratitude.

Before long, more than five thousand townsfolk knew who they should thank.

The Great Witch of the port city addressed Ivita, "My lord, I am the Gneiss Great Witch. You saved this city, and for that, I am deeply grateful. Please allow me to serve you."

"A powerful wizard like you surely needs a Great Witch to serve as your servant."

To express gratitude towards Ivita and to surrender to his power, Gneiss Great Witch pledged her loyalty directly to Ivita.

Knight Robinson still positioned himself between the Witch and Ivita, preventing the Witch from sneak attacking the weakened Ivita.

Seeing is believing but feelings are often deceiving. Knight Robinson, who had deeply engaged in church activities, was already accustomed to betrayal and human nature. Coupled with his prejudice against witches, he was on guard against this strange Great Witch.

Ivita nodded at the Great Witch, accepting her allegiance, and then said to Knight Robinson and the others, "I will reopen the Dark Door and take us back to Lombardy Duchy, avoiding the swarm."

"However, I am going to be relatively weak for the next three days, and I don’t know when Hell will be coming to make a pact with me. So, I will need your protection."

Knight Robinson replied on behalf of his team, "My lord, you exhausted your strength to save five thousand people. Such a heroic act is not unnoticed, and I will report it to the Church. We will, of course, stay by your side to protect you at all times."

He felt a closeness to Ivita, beyond the sense of duty.

Ivita nodded.

To him, it was not a loss. The necessary good deed had to be done.

Such actions can bring many rewards.

Ivita said to the Great Witch, "If you’re really determined to pledge your loyalty to me, stay here for the time being and protect this city. I might need your help in the future."

Ivita thought to himself, the people I saved cannot go to waste.

Later on, this event might become something that makes him stand out among the many successors.

With that, Ivita reopened the Dark Door and led the way inside.

...

In the port city, the three insect queens stared at the bare ground where the building at the center of the town used to be, lost in thought.

Chaos Abyss, perhaps, was about to face a formidable foe.
