When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 1263 - 539: The Winged Ones Revive

May 5th, the Day of Balance.

Two days have passed since the successful attack on the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

This is also the Holy Day of the Hourglass.

The Hourglass, which has just re-established the Laws of Balance, is extremely prominent in the Material Realm at this moment.

People worship this Pillar God with an unprecedented devout attitude — even the Transcendents have only now realized just how necessary the "Wall of Balance," which always prevents them from summoning the Phantom Demons in the Dream Realm, really is, and how much merit the Hourglass’s "Absolute Heaven and Earth" truly holds.

And this is just one Fallen Celestial Marshal, yet it brought about so many troubles...

If Celestial Marshals or Pillar Gods were to act recklessly in the human world... could the living still enjoy a peaceful life?

It’s like how only after a fire do people realize the necessity of firefighting; only when truly ill do they deeply appreciate the benefits of healthcare — people’s devout worship of the Hourglass now lies in the hope that no more Celestial Marshals come down.

But no matter what, the war is over.

When exactly did the war truly end?

Perhaps it was when people noticed the unwarranted evil thoughts in their hearts had dissipated, perhaps it was when people saw the Demons in the sky vanish like smoke, or perhaps it was when the allied forces slowly withdrew...

Or perhaps it was when Transcendents understood the world had been transcended — or when Demon Scholars lost their power.

— Antimony Kingdom.

This country, once occupied by Demons, now returns to long-awaited peace.

Thanks to the live broadcast initiated by the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

Now, not only the Stibnite, but even people from surrounding countries know that it was Aiwass who defeated the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

Apart from Aiwass, the other members of the "Expedition Team" also became famous.

Every member of this team is now recognized as being among the "world’s strongest."

This is a reasonable conclusion. To defeat the Fallen God, that is naturally a hero among heroes. Not to mention the Fallen Celestial Marshal has thoroughly displayed His power... Even through the "screen," that extremely lethal oppressive force can be clearly felt.

Ordinary people know little about the Extraordinary World, what they can actually feel is "how big a crater can be smashed."

However, Transcendents are aware of just how frightening those two "Angel Envoys" used as stepping stones are — three punches two Angel Envoys, that’s absolute invincibility. Both the Sky Rakshasa and the Eternal Vanguard are Angel Envoys known for their prowess in battle. Regardless of which battlefield in the Material Realm they descend upon, they can easily achieve victory. Comparing ordinary Transcendents to them offers no essential difference in opposition to the Fallen Celestial Marshal... Anyway, the win rate is zero.

So conversely — even the most battle-savvy Angel Envoys were crushed in three punches, and Aiwass and his team could beat such formidable foes. Rounding up, doesn’t it mean Aiwass and his team’s combat power already exceeds these highest human combat powers?

At this moment, people no longer revere Aiwass just because he once became the Eternal Pope.

Rather, they genuinely respect Aiwass for demonstrating overwhelming combat power—

Lifting an entire ruins city to smash someone, being hit and crashing into a mountain splitting it in half yet surviving, turning the "Sun" in the sky into a purple fireball and bringing it down...

This is practically mythical battle!

Brave and audacious journalists have boldly visited the "Holy Land" where the battle took place to observe and record.

This is the battlefield where humans defeated a God for the first time — naturally, it can also be called a Holy Land.

Shocking.

Just the ley lines from which Mana was extracted twist into terrifying convoluted shapes. Several gorges, three or four meters in diameter, over a dozen meters long, are embedded in the ground, as if the blood vessels of a person were cruelly pulled from within, cut open, and exposed on the surface.

One by one, giant stone men that had once been awakened lost their power, standing silently with their heads bowed.

Each stone man stands several meters tall, they once burned with purple flames, and now they are like soldiers standing dead.

On the ground, many rocks had been melted into Obsidian by the spreading purple fire. Many have come just to take some Obsidian away — they believe it certainly contains divine power, or perhaps even traces of "God’s remains"!

Some sects that believe in and worship Aiwass have quietly emerged.

Many do not believe that the Fallen Celestial Marshal, who took down two Angel Envoys in three punches, could be defeated by mortals... They firmly believe, only a God can defeat a God. Not to mention their appearances are identical.

Hence, some Mystics began declaring that the Fallen Celestial Marshal once had another name. Before falling, perhaps it was "Yao Tian Company" or "Bright Sky Department" — and Aiwass is His reincarnation! Now he defeated the Fallen Celestial Marshal and is about to ascend back to the Dream Realm!

...This is quite a stroke of luck.

And Aiwass had long returned with the army to Avalon.

After all, retrieving the Clarent sword is not urgent for now. The treasury is right there... it won’t run away or be stolen.

Rebuilding the Heracel Empire is even less urgent—although Aiwass’s prestige is at its peak now, such matters cannot be done immediately and require a great amount of time and effort.

Currently, Xingti has suffered severe damage under the slaughter and rule of the Fallen Celestial Marshal. The priority is to facilitate post-disaster recovery swiftly, restoring people’s living standards to "barely able to survive"... During the rule of the Fallen Celestial Marshal, hardly anyone could work or live normally. The entire Xingti is on the brink of collapse, not to mention the remaining population which either fled or were killed... The population remaining in Xingti is now less than a tenth of what it was a month ago.

Although at this time, Aiwass could forcibly found a nation using his own prestige—then personally oversee the rebuilding efforts to receive immense prestige for himself or for Yulia. But undoubtedly, a lot of time would be wasted in reallocating resources again... and who knows how many people might die during this time.

If they weren’t killed by the demons under the Fallen Celestial Marshal, but instead succumbed to poverty and hunger after the marshal’s defeat... it would be quite laughable.

Therefore, Aiwass invited Princess and Clown Laro.

He brought Yulia, and they candidly discussed the topic of "rebuilding the Heracel Empire" and asked them to help oversee the reconstruction.

Regarding this, the princess surprisingly accepted and agreed quickly.

—Because she knows very well her throne is unstable.

Valentine VII was killed and transformed into an undead monarch that wreaked havoc in the Material Realm, killing widely to transform others into undead... The amassed undead legion was, like a stray dog kicked to death by the roadside, swiftly crushed by the demon army under the Fallen Celestial Marshal, unable to withstand even ten minutes.

And Lucien, known as "Valentin VIII," is already dead, now being transformed into the newborn Son of the Moon. Queen Louise betrayed the country twice, even willingly becoming a succubus... When the Fallen Celestial Marshal was annihilated, she was simultaneously banished to the Dream Realm.

In merely two months, the Xingti Kingdom has changed hands five times.

People now probably no longer believe in the name "Valentine."

—This name that once brought glory to Xingti has now likely turned into a fear and shame in people’s hearts. Coupled with the complete annihilation of the high ranks of the Rose Cross Society, the independence of Black Hawk and Narcissus, and the Spirit Summoning Tower heading to Avalon... Even many royal alchemists have also gone to Avalon.

Xingti’s fifth power level masters are now even fewer than Avalon’s from a year ago.

She and Laro alone simply cannot safeguard this nation.

Not to mention Iris Flower eyeing covetously—even Black Hawk and Narcissus are the same. Their bringing of troops to assist in the campaign against the Fallen Celestial Marshal was not without thoughts of claiming a share. After all, they together rescued Xingti, so it’s somewhat reasonable they take part in post-disaster recovery, right?

After all, Xingti is in a sense a "defeated nation."

Yes, although they didn’t really fight, Xingti has already been defeated—the Fallen Celestial Marshal completely paralyzed Xingti, with resident population losses plummeting to less than ten percent. And with the marshal subsequently defeated by the Union forces, according to the inequality of Union forces greater than the marshal, and the marshal greater than Xingti, Xingti is actually approximately defeated by the Union forces.

At least in the minds of Xingti’s citizens, they have already been defeated. And rather than direct confrontation with the Union forces, their minds are less filled with hatred and resistance towards the Union forces, and instead filled with gratitude...

—Under such circumstances, handing over the nation to Aiwass is the best possible outcome. They may dare to speak arrogantly to Princess but would absolutely not dare to show their teeth to Aiwass. Not to mention, Aiwass intends to rebuild Heracel, and has even obtained a pure-blooded Heracles as a puppet...

This is a true imperial declaration!

From any angle of prestige, military might, economy, religion, freedom, or legitimacy, they have no reason to refuse.

Thus, Aiwass left Yulia in Xingti, in the identity of "Aiwass’s sister," to oversee post-disaster recovery work together with Princess and Laro. In a certain sense, people are willing to reluctantly listen to the princess, the "Valentine," because Yulia is by her side.

People may not respect the princess, but they cannot disrespect the "God Slayer" Aiwass.

They wouldn’t dare even if given the courage!

Ligeia is still asleep in the egg.

From the fluctuation of her life force... she can break through to the sixth power level this time upon awakening. But it’s unknown when she will awaken.

Hopefully, she awakens within two weeks, or she’ll miss it.

As for her current form...

Aiwass already looked inside the egg with the light once.

When Ligeia wakes again, she probably won’t be called a "Dragon Lady" anymore.

Her dragon clan features have almost entirely disappeared.

—In their place are those slick white wings.

Growing at the back of her ears, feet, waist... three pairs of white wings.

That’s the bloodline of the Winged Ones—

After defeating the Fallen Celestial Marshal, it absorbed some remnants belonging to "Lucifer."

—The once severed lineage of Winged Ones is going to revive in modern times.
