Chapter 881: Chapter 457: The Missing Hearthstone Witch_2

...

Between the Dead Silence Universe and the boundless darkness surrounding it, Ivita sensed that the Tomb of the Gods was restricting both her and the Sea Goddess she was with from leaving.

The Tomb of the Gods, to a god, was a place easy to enter but hard to leave.

However, Ivita invoked the Power of Faith transmitted from the Magic Network, converting it into Divine Power. This countered the summoning power of the Tomb of the Gods, and then, with the external pull of the Magic Network on her, she forcefully broke free from the Tomb of the Gods.

Ivita turned to look at the Sea Goddess by her side.

The Sea Goddess bowed to Ivita reverently, "Congratulations, Demon God, you have now obtained a position among the gods of Heaven. From now on, you will be unstoppable, and who could possibly be your match?"

Ivita sneered, "You’re clever."

"But I have a task for you to carry out soon."

The Sea Goddess asked, "Your Majesty, what would you have me do?"

Ivita said, "Lighting the Divine Fire and becoming a weak divine force is merely an incidental gain from my journey to the Star Realm. I will soon create the Soul of Darkness..."

"The Empire and Alsace have already learned of this news.

"Therefore, they will certainly attempt to thwart me. I need you to go to the Magic Black Forest and create various disasters to preoccupy the Empire and Alsace Kingdom so they won’t have the resources to focus on me."

The Sea Goddess hesitated, "I am willing to do this. But I am afraid that by doing so, it might provoke the Spirits and heroes hidden within the Magic Black Forest to come after me. I fear I may not be able to delay them long for you, and I might be slain by those beings first."

"Moreover, there are Laws within the Magic Black Forest itself, especially the laws of the Empire which are extremely formidable. Whether I act as a god of Heaven or a Subspace God, both would trigger the Law against me, and I wouldn’t be able to do anything."

Ivita shook her head. "It’s simple. You go to the Magic Black Forest, hide in the deep mountains or desolate villages and show a bit of Divine Power, create a few fanatical followers, corrupt a few Subspace puppets, and then cause disorder within Alsace and the Holy Empire."

"You don’t have to act personally, so naturally Law can’t target you, and those hero Spirits won’t be able to find you. They would, in fact, be afraid to make a move recklessly."

"You just need to make a big scene, use Subspace Hole Gravity a few more times, to shock and terrify them, draw their attention, that’s all. You don’t need to win, just retreat at the right moment."

"As long as you can help me delay them for about a month, that would be enough."

Hearing Ivita’s plan, the Sea Goddess’s eyes lit up. She thought the plan was good and wondered why she hadn’t thought of it before!

The Sea Goddess said to Ivita, "Then I will do my utmost to try!"

Ivita sent the Sea Goddess away from the Titan vessel to the Magic Black Forest first to create chaos in the Holy Empire and Alsace Kingdom as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, he was to return the Red Planet to the Leo Galaxy Cluster, to send it back home. Facing its homeland, the Red Planet was overwhelmed with emotion, and after bidding farewell to Ivita, it quickly departed the Titan vessel to return home.

Ivita navigated the Titan vessel, casting a glance at the Red Planet, unsure if he would ever have the chance to meet it again in the future.

But, as long as he could win the war against the Empire, he would have plenty of time in the future.

And so, Ivita navigated the Titan vessel back to the Magic Black Forest.

Since he had entered the Star Realm from the Iron Crown mountain range, the Titan vessel also returned to the Iron Crown mountain range.

Upon entering the Iron Crown mountains, Ivita sensed that something was amiss.

Soon, the embodiment of the Iron Crown informed him of the situation. It turned out that the Lombardy Duchy had been invaded by the servants of the Black Death. The Vampire Wilson and others, who were originally stationed in Lombardy, were leading the recently joined Nobles from Lombardy to resist the servants of the Black Death.

The Iron Crown, in Ivita’s absence, had timely summoned the undying Rusting Cavalry from the graveyard to resist the servants of the Black Death, barely holding them off for the time being.

From the embodiment of the Iron Crown, Ivita also learned that the servants of the Black Death didn’t come to Lombardy on their own, given the significant distance from the outbreak of the Black Death. Instead, Cross Island was closer to the outbreak area.

It was the Soldiers of Alsace and the Holy Empire who had risked their lives to transport the servants of the Black Death from the outbreak nations into Lombardy.

The malign intentions of the others were self-evident.

Clearly, they intended to eradicate the power of Ivita’s Lombardy Duchy with the Black Death before taking action against Ivita himself.

Ivita began to search for his embodiment in Lombardy; he had left his secondary Noble humanoid embodiment in Lombardy. This embodiment had neither reported the situation back to him nor was found to be missing.

Presumably, it was the elite forces of the Empire and Alsace who had infiltrated earlier that had caused this mischief, and he hoped that his humanoid embodiment had not been destroyed by them.

Utilizing the special connection with his human embodiment, Ivita finally found a direction. He navigated the Titan vessel toward that direction, only to discover that it was his castle in the Iron Crown mountains where he had crossed into the Star Realm.

Moreover, the King of the Ancient Tomb was fighting with three witches in the sky above the castle, and the Magic Plants carefully cultivated by the Hearthstone Witch outside the castle had all turned yellow and withered, shrouded by a strange yet astonishing Magic Energy.

The wide-reaching Rust Curse that he had set around the castle still existed.

Indeed, if they broke the curse, they might alert him.
