The Era of Gods-Chapter 648 Lightning Raid Destruction Strike

It was as if the capital of a country had been suddenly destroyed, the upper echelon obliterated, dealing a fatal blow to the nation. The country might not collapse, but it would inevitably be paralyzed until a new leadership could stabilize the order.

Lin Xiao’s idea was exactly that, to paralyze the faith of the Magic God in the mortal world before considering the aftermath.

He didn’t need to exert himself running to Brulle; he merely extended a finger wrapped in golden light towards the virtual map of the Magic Net Planet and gently pressed down on the position of the magical capital, Brulle.

A ripple spread from his fingertip, as if a powerful resistance was blocking his finger’s descent.

Meanwhile, far away on the surface of Brulle City, the enormous and miraculous Floating City of Brulle was suspended in the air as usual. Countless devotees traveled from afar to behold the miracle of the Magic God. Inside the cathedral, hovering above the Floating City, the chosen of the Magic God, Pope Moros, was leading the Church’s elite in their monthly routine prayer gathering.

The majestic and solemn cathedral gathered many strong individuals from the Church, with no fewer than twenty legendary mages convening to listen to the prayers led by the Pope holding the Magic Holy Book.

Tranquility and calmness settled over everyone as they quieted their hearts and sat down to listen attentively in harmony.

Suddenly, Pope Moros, seated at the place of honor, raised his head in surprise towards the sky, and the other high-level Church mages also sensed something, looking up with expressions that shifted from surprise to disbelief.

At first, they managed to maintain composure, for this was the magical capital Brulle, the core parish of the Magic God, teeming with powerful figures. Even if a True God were to arrive, they could hold their ground for some time.

However, their complexions quickly turned, sensing an overwhelming and unmasked dreadful power; they could no longer remain seated and rushed out of the cathedral, looking up to see the space of the Vault of Heaven being twisted in layers, a transparent giant finger of unimaginable size descending from the sky towards the cathedral.

Pope Moros closed the Magic Holy Book in his hand, a ray of spiritual light flashed and disappeared. The next second, a melodious bell rang from the cathedral, and then a huge magical energy surged above the vast Floating City, forming a giant barrier that protected the entire city, with a thick beam of light shooting up into the Void and vanishing.

As the barrier rose, all the mages on the Floating City breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, the vast Floating City shook violently. The dome’s semi-circular barrier cave inward as if being pressed by a finger, and waves of terrifying energy fluctuations spread outwards along the barrier like waves, the Floating City being pressed down slowly by an invisible force.

"What are you all waiting for?"

The aged voice of Pope Moros brought the legendary mages back to their senses, and they teleported back to their own Mage Towers. One after another, towers on the Floating City lit up, releasing thick beams of energy shooting into the barrier, propping it up once more.

Just as some people let out a sigh of relief, a cold snort that cut through the soul echoed, and then the colossal transparent finger in the sky abruptly condensed into form, pressing down with one forceful push.

"Boom!"

An indescribable terrifying strength crushed the barrier of the Floating City in one blow. Like a mountainous finger pressing on the Floating City, amid the ear-splitting booms and explosions, the massive Floating City crumbled into countless fragments, mixing with dreadful energy to form a chaos-energy-tide hundred of meters high that surged in all directions, sweeping across the entire Brulle City.

From afar, the magnificent magical city crumbled to dust under that one finger, the raging tide of fury overwhelming the entire city, as countless devout believers residing in the city of magic perished.

As the difficult finger press came down, the shadow representing Brulle City on the virtual map vanished beneath the flames, and Lin Xiao’s incarnation expending Divine Power Instant plummeted, draining at least two-thirds of his divine strength.

After doing all this, Lin Xiao, expressionless, put away the Magic Net Planet, swung his hand, and called out,

"Attack the Divine Realm of the Magic God."

The high morale of his subordinate deities flocked around his several incarnations as they flew towards the depths of the void. The direction of the Divine Realm of the Magic God was hardly a secret, as divine realms generally can’t be hidden, especially when the domains of a divine system regularly have true deity incarnations coming and going, making it impossible to hide.

At the same time, the True Body of the Magic God inside the Divine Realm had already been jolted awake by the destruction of the magic city. In fact, since Lin Xiao made his move, Pope Moros had already started reporting to the Magic God, but the destruction happened so swiftly that by the time the message was relayed through prayers, Brulle City was already in ruins.

Upon learning of the destruction of Brulle City, the Magic God was first shocked, then an almost tangible surge of wrath followed, grinding his teeth as he muttered the enemy’s name.

The manner in which Brulle City was destroyed might seem peculiar to mortals who couldn’t identify the perpetrator, but the Magic God could tell at a glance who had done it.

However, He hadn’t guessed Lin Xiao’s purpose, assuming instead that it was an act of revenge by an incarnation of the Dark God System’s master in response to His own assault on the Dark God Kingdom, which led to the destruction of Brulle City.

Such a scenario was rare, but not unheard of—it wasn’t unusual for a true god to do something crazy just before their fall.

So no matter how angry He was, He could only curse loudly, deciding in His heart that when He defeated the false god who had stolen the magic deity position, He’d severely torment and humiliate His foe, without realizing...

It didn’t take long for Lin Xiao and his group to arrive at the Divine Realm of the Magic God, an enormous divine kingdom attached to the Crystal Wall of the Primary Material Plane. From a distance, it looked like a small blister on a face, with squads of angels patrolling around the Divine Realm from time to time.

After the patrolling angels passed by, Lin Xiao led his deities to a corner of the Divine Realm, pressing his hand against it to begin analyzing the spatial rules of the Divine Realm.

More than ten seconds later, after the analysis was complete, he took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The other deities followed without hesitation. At this moment, there was no turning back for them. When two divine systems went to full war, when the Magic God attacked the Dark God System, when they destroyed Brulle City, they and the Magic God System had become mortal enemies bound by a death feud, with no chance of negotiation.

They had only one path left: to defeat the Magic God.

The Divine Realm of the Magic God was far mightier than that of the Barbaric God, Harken, but still couldn’t compare to Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm. He entered the Divine Realm for a full five minutes, and multiple scans by the incarnations of the Magic God failed to detect him.

However, as he began to summon the Angel Army, the caveman angels were far weaker than them, and they were quickly discovered by the Magic God at the center of the Divine Realm.

Then, the Magic God was stunned for several seconds before he reacted, his face flushing with a combination of embarrassment and anger.

"How dare you invade my Divine Realm, this is a death wish!"

The entire Divine Realm erupted with his roar of rage. The Deities of the magic deity sequence were initially stunned as well, but they quickly became just as enraged. The destruction of Brulle City had, after all, caused them the loss of a large number of the high-ranking devout believers.

At the same time, in the Hall of All Gods, the second and third seats of the second tier, representing the Medium Divine Powers, simultaneously burst forth with sky-high blood lights, and two bloody chains appeared at the same moment, locking onto each other. Seventy to eighty True Gods were affected by this, and all the True Gods within the Hall of All Gods turned their gaze towards this astonishing spectacle, their expressions a mix of shock and excitement.

The God of Vengeance, witnessing this scene, was overjoyed and an excited war roar of divine battle echoed from within the far reaches of the vengeful Divine Realm.

The God of Fear Vides quickly communicated with the numerous Insect Race Descenders, issuing a summoning order without hesitation.

The Heart-stealing Demon God Elsa said loudly,

"This is a rare opportunity where two tigers fight and at least one gets injured. No matter who wins or loses, it will be an opportunity for us."

Another Insect Race Descender True God asked,

"So which side do we take?"

Vides firmly declared,

"The Magic God!"

Someone asked in confusion,

"As far as we know, the Magic God has a very close relationship with the Justice God, and moreover, the magic deity sequence is stronger than the Dark God System. Why would you favor the main Dark God over the Magic God?"

Vides laughed and said,

"Who says the magic deity sequence is stronger than the Dark God System?"

He held up two fingers and stated,

"Two reasons, first, the main Dark God is a Human Descender and seems to have a significant status and position, possibly having some powerful trump cards in hand."

"The second reason is that the base of the Dark God System is in the Dark Territory, a place unreachable even by the three Powerful Divine Powers. As long as they hold the Underground World, no one can do anything to them. Even if they are defeated, self-preservation is not a problem."

Those who could ascend to godhood were not fools. They had considered these points long ago, and their inquiries now were simply to unify their thoughts.

At that moment, Vides added,

"Although the Lord of Darkness is a Human Descender and his promotion to Powerful Divine Power poses a substantial threat, once he ascends, he will inevitably be opposed by several Powerful Divine Powers. We will have enough time to develop. Later, depending on the situation, if the Magic God is in dire straits, we will immediately send troops to snatch many of the Magic God’s dioceses, defeat some of his subordinate gods, and reap a huge profit."

"I have my eye on a certain Divine Position of a Deity in the magic deity sequence that fits perfectly with my own Divine Position,"

Elsa said with anticipation.

"I need the Prophetic priesthood of the God of Prophecy."

"I need the Music God’s Position."

"I need the priesthood of Commerce and Merchant."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

This type of situation was common within the Hall of All Gods. A fight between two Powerful Deity Systems was certainly more thrilling than waging war with the Beastman God System.

Most True Gods were constrained by their own Godhood, and attacking the Beastman God System wouldn’t yield many benefits, especially since many of the beastman believers were of little use to the Human Deities. But with the Dark God System waging war against the magic deity sequence, there were plenty of opportunities to exploit.

In the past, the various races of the Dark Territory and its vastness were more valuable than the cold and miserable lands where the beastmen lived. Not to mention the current Abyssal Race.

After Lin Xiao’s five adjustments, the Abyssal Race now inspired envy in countless True Gods.

No one dared to claim the Divine Position of the Abyssal Race outright, but as long as one could spread their faith among them amidst the chaos, even just a share of it would be a massive gain.

After all, with over a hundred and thirty billion Ground Dwellers, even one-tenth of them would amount to over thirteen billion. Such a vast number of believers could easily sustain a Medium Divine Power and then some.
