Chapter 504 - 297: Other God Church (2)
There was no unexpected occurrence.
It was just that the battle did not have any surprises, but there was an unexpected event where they were. The clash between the two Upper-Rank Gods directly shattered this Exotic World.
Originally, a vast Exotic World had now become fragments, floating in the void.
"Hahaha, we won!"
"We actually won!"
"Long live the Empire!"
Hearing Carol’s words, one by one, the high-ranking family members in the fragments couldn’t help but reveal expressions of joy.
Compared to the ancient deities, the Empire was what gave them the greatest sense of security. The Empire’s victory was enough for them.
Of course, not just them, even Carol couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.
Even though he already knew the outcome the moment Antonio appeared, the true arrival of the result was the key that set his mind at ease.
But after feeling at ease, they soon felt a bit lost.
What should they do next?
Originally, they intended to take advantage of the Kingdom War to gain something over time.
But now the Exotic World was shattered.
Don’t even mention gaining anything; returning safely was a big question.
Not only Carol’s group, but other top nobility seemed to have also noticed these problems.
On the other side.
The battle ended, the Divine Kingdom fell, and Antonio’s figure vanished.
At the very center of the continent.
Within a vast palace.
A figure originally with eyes tightly shut couldn’t help but open them.
The aura slightly fluctuated, but it quickly recovered.
"Really troublesome!"
Murmuring softly, Antonio stood up, shaking his head.
He didn’t expect such an unexpected occurrence during the Kingdom War.
But just as he was about to call for a servant.
Antonio’s body suddenly paused.
"No, something’s wrong!"
"How could there be the Thunder God in that region?"
Antonio suddenly realized, his brow furrowing deeply.
Some things he hadn’t considered during the battle, but now, returning to his true form, he instantly felt the extraordinariness of the situation.
Logically, a place chosen for Kingdom War wouldn’t possibly be a site of divine demise or a region containing vast divinity.
Otherwise, if a problem arose.
The Kingdom War would likely suffer heavy losses.
And unnecessary losses at that.
The Two Great Empires wouldn’t allow such things to happen.
After all, the fundamental purpose of the Kingdom War is for the knight to select talent, assess the development of various kingdoms, enhance the overall strength of royal nobility, and improve their capacity to respond to battle.
Not to let the royal nobility truly face death.
But such an impossibility, at this moment, had turned into a possibility.
Not only was there vast divinity in the Exotic World, but even physical bodies.
If he hadn’t left behind a contingency on a youngster, he might not have even known what transpired in the Exotic World.
If the Two Great Empires failed to perceive it.
The Thunder God would have revived.
The result is all too predictable.
This Kingdom War wouldn’t just incur heavy losses, there might not even be anyone able to emerge alive.
An Upper-Rank God.
Don’t be fooled by how he managed it so easily with a mere avatar.
That was him.
For the nobility in the Kingdom War, it would be catastrophic.
Not just an Upper-Rank God, even a Lower-Rank God would easily annihilate half of the nobility in the Kingdom War.
Thoughts kept flowing.
Ideas intertwined continuously.
Suddenly.
A flash of insight darted through Antonio’s mind.
"Other God Church."
"Have those damn rats infiltrated the Empire?"
Muttering to himself, Antonio’s expression kept changing.
At this moment, only this seemed plausible.
To have created such a surprise, there could only be one possibility: someone deliberately altered the Kingdom War’s venue to the Thunder God’s demise site.
Only one entity could do that.
And only one would dare attempt it: the Other God Church.
Those filthily hidden rats beneath the Empire.
"Someone, come!"
A deep voice called.
Soon, someone quickly ran inside.
"Lord Antonio!"
The figure entered, kneeling on one knee, with a respectful tone.
"Go, help me find out who arranged this Kingdom War, how many are involved!"
"Also inform His Majesty, I need all recent information on the Exotic War."
Antonio spoke; his tone was deep.
"Yes!"
The kneeling figure was a bit puzzled but swiftly complied.
Quickly retreating.
An hour later.
The figure hurried back inside.
"Lord Antonio!"
The figure was respectful.
Antonio waved, and the next moment, a crystal clear demon crystal in the figure’s hands flew up.
Then, faint light spread across all surroundings.
Scenes began to appear.
In the imagery appeared an old man.
The old man was competent, swiftly making arrangements while several others were equally handling matters – some elderly, some middle-aged, some youthful.
"Him, him!"
"And him!"
"Additionally, this person; immediately, send someone to detain them!"
Antonio scanned the scene and quickly spoke.
"Yes!"
The figure respectfully replied.
Soon, in the vast Empire, squads of guards swiftly undertook actions.
Antonio’s orders were executed quickly.
Yet it was already late.
When guard squads reached those locations, each figure was already deceased.
That’s right, already dead.
The earliest one had been dead for over a month.
When the news returned, Antonio’s complexion turned gloomy.
Clearly, if earlier had been speculation, now it was undeniably confirmed.
The Other God Church was behind this.
Furthermore, at some unknown point, they had even infiltrated the Empire’s mid-high ranks.
Otherwise, such an effect on the Kingdom War wouldn’t be possible.
"Prepare for me!"
"I need an audience with His Majesty!"
A deep voice spoke, Antonio’s face changed repeatedly as he looked afar.
"Yes!"
The servant respectfully replied.
Then Antonio hurriedly proceeded to the Imperial Capital.
Within the Imperial Capital, a storm was brewing, and the resulting waves were likely to engulf the entire continent.
But regarding all these matters, the royal nobility currently stranded in the shattered Exotic World remained unaware.
At this moment, they were still in confusion.
The fragmented Exotic World.
The spaces each occupied were pathetically small.
Don’t even mention gaining anything further.
Survival itself was a big issue.
At this moment, everyone felt a bit panicked.
But clearly, panic wouldn’t help now.
They could only hope the Kingdom War would end soon, allowing them to leave.
But how to conclude it, no one knew.
Of course, that’s the case for them, and for Thor and others in the Divine Ruins even more so.
They, within the Divine Ruins, were still oblivious to the massive changes outside, with the Divine Ruins hiding everything, keeping the power of the Divine War from ever spilling over.
