I became a legion lich-Chapter 180
180 Emperor Makima
“I will be back in a few minutes.” He spoke quickly, ignoring the desperate pleas of the angels around him.
The teleportation crystal in his hand activated, releasing a white glow that covered his entire body. Eishin took a step forward, disappearing from the palace and covering the distance of tens of kilometers in an instant.
The crystal didn’t teleport him, but it reacted differently to his holy mana. Unlike regular mana that teleported or corrupted mana that ripped space, holy mana contraction the space between Eishin and his target, decreasing the gap between them.
With every step Eishin took, he covered tens of kilometers at once. He moved slowly, not feeling rushed at all. The port city would not fall immediately, so he had no reason to rush.
Unlike his relaxed state, his movements were causing chaos around him.
For those watching from the outside, all they saw was a flash of light, before a sonic boom and a shock wave. Its speed surpassed the speed of sound several times over, its movement ripping through the air and creating a trail of vacuum.
Clouds were pierced and scattered by the ensuing sonic boom. Luckily he was in the sky when he activated the crystal, so there wasn’t much damage to his surroundings.
He reached the city in less than two minutes, a powerful flash of light and a sonic boom announcing his arrival and making the city’s citizens applaud his arrival.
“...” Eishin paid no attention to them and looked at the approaching fleet on the horizon. The speed of the fleet was extremely fast and they were already almost within gun range of the city.
.....
But Eishin noticed that most of the sea beasts had already advanced underwater and were almost reaching the bay and the defensive ships.
“Let’s start with them then.” Eishin spoke and raised his right index finger. Holy mana began to build up in his fingertip so fast that the port city’s citizens thought that a second sun had appeared on top of the city.
It was a simple holy mana bullet spell, but its raw power enhanced the spell until it surpassed an ancient dragon’s magic.
Eishin charged the spell for just a few seconds before firing. The mana bullet broke the sound barrier and hit the surface of the ocean, exploding in a wave of light that swept across the sea, the undead monsters, and anything too close.
The explosion also generated a wave of twenty meters that sank the ships stopped on the pier, but the nearest water mages controlled the water and rescued the ships.
“Amazing...” one of the water mages muttered incredulously, struggling to soften the effects of the waves.
“I thought these undead could resist at least two spells, but it seems to be in vain. Eishin muttered in disappointment.
Several sonic booms and flashes of light appeared around him, but Eishin didn’t care about them. “I’m going back to the palace. Finish with them.”
The angels around him barely had time to nod before Eishin activated the teleportation crystal and disappeared in a flash of light.
“Haah...” The angels only sighed in exasperation at their God’s irresponsible attitude, before focusing their attention on the undead below and take out your frustration on them.
“Should I visit those undead? No, they are irrelevant. They would be killed even faster than those sea monsters.” Eishin yawned as he considered whether or not to attack Athos, but gave up in the end.

On the surface of the moon, at the same time.
“Is that lazy God moving? What happened?” A woman wondered suddenly, looking at the surface of Elbon. She was able to see the glow of the explosion and knew that the only thing that could cause an explosion on the adula continent would be Eishin.
She had long black hair that reached down to her waist. Her face was beautiful and perfectly framed, looking like a work of art. Her white skin didn’t have a single visible blemish and contrasted with her black, almond-shaped eyes.
The woman was approximately 1,74 meters and appeared to be in her early twenties, with a body that bordered on perfection.
“Probably boredom. Eishin has reached a power so great that we can count on our fingers how many beings in this world can face him head on and it is suspicious if they would pose any threat to him.” A male voice came out of the woman’s mouth suddenly, answering her own rhetorical question.
“I know that. I’m just worried that it might break the oath of non-interference.” The woman voiced her concerns. She mentioned an ancient oath taken by the world’s most powerful beings, which forbade them to directly interfere in the affairs of ordinary people.
This agreement was created millennia ago, when there were no established countries and all races brutally warred with each other. Beings as powerful as Eishin fought among common men, their sheer power wiping out entire species and changing the geography of the planet.
The planet was on the brink of collapse and could no longer withstand the destructive power of the gods colliding with each other, so the most powerful beings in the world made that deal and left the world stage.
“I don’t believe a little interference like that is enough to break the agreement. He only fired a single spell, so I doubt the others will make much of a fuss about it. In fact, I think Eishin would be happy to break the agreement. just to have someone to contend with.” The male voice spoke again, sighing in irritation.
“That’s impossible. Despite appearances, Eishin’s love for humanity is as strong as his hatred for dragons and the extinct giants. He would never do anything that could harm humanity.” The woman denied his assumption.
“Let’s put that matter aside for now. What do you think of the dark elder’s situation? Do you believe he actually sabotaged the tower, or worse, caused an accident due to his own stupidity?” The male voice changed the subject and the female snorted.
“Don’t even mention it, Calan. Because of that brat, most of my projects have been put on hold with no return date. Look around! Our new moon base is half done!” The woman started stomping her foot angrily, treating an elderly elder like just a child.
Just like she said, her surroundings were half-built buildings, showing that the base was still incomplete. The only thing that was already built were four pillars arranged in the four directions, forming a dome that maintained a bearable atmosphere for human beings.
“Will you get rid of him then, Eirin?” The male voice, or rather Calan, asked while laughing. He thought it was hilarious to see Eirin frustrated
“No, I’ll just excommunicate you for a few decades and force you to share some of your knowledge to regain your position. Despite your precarious power, your knowledge of necromancy and alchemy is too useful to get rid of it.” Eirin spoke irritably, not liking being teased at all.
Her wristwatch began to chime, making both voices sigh at the same time.
“Our time is up. You have work to do, brother.” Eirin spoke and relinquished control of her body to her brother.
Her body changed shape and a man appeared in her place. He had the same black eyes and hair as his sister, but his height was approximately 1.85 meters tall.
Calan was a muscular man, as perfectly proportioned as his younger sister.
He stretched to crack the bones, but frowned the next moment. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ
“Shit. Why does she have to wear such tight panties? She could use a little more consideration for me and change clothes before changing shape.” Calan complained as he hurriedly changed his clothes. He took a teleportation crystal and teleported away, appearing in a throne room.
The throne room was the same as Eishin’s divine palace, but it was made of enchanted marble and had tapestries with the order’s emblem on the left side and the country’s flag on the right.
His guards were only human as well, rather than angels, but their powers were among the best of humanity, most being at the fourteenth layer.
The guards in the throne room greeted Calan as he appeared, not at all surprised by their leader’s sudden appearance. He conjured an ice mirror and hurriedly fixed his disheveled hair, checking his appearance before sighing in relief.
Calan took a deep breath and sat on the throne, a royal valet announcing the arrival of guests a second later. The guests were the ministers of finance and internal affairs, as well as their assistants.
They knelt in front of the throne’s staircase before saluting in unison. “It is a pleasure to see you in such good health, Your Majesty Calan Makima.”
‘Useless old men.’ Eirin’s voice rang in the back of his mind, but Calan ignored it and returned the greeting with a polite nod. He gave them permission to speak, at the same time sneakily conjuring a spell of silence in his ears so he wouldn’t waste his time listening to whatever they wanted to say.
