Throne of the North.

Chapter 791 Wizard's Grand Array Slays Gods, Golden Explosion

The outline of a storm gradually appeared in the dark sky, filled with howling thunder and water vapor, and a blurry shadow appeared in the terrible natural disaster.

It was a colossal being, baring its fangs and brandishing its giant, python-like tentacles that swung in the storm. The ocean's waves reached their climax at that moment, and even the massive raven ship beneath Ryan became restless, beginning to shake uncontrollably.

He didn't look at the shadows in the stormy sky, but instead lowered his head and looked into the depths of the sea. Sometime during the night, a vast expanse of deep darkness appeared below the sea fortress, the darkness swallowing everything and seemingly watching him as well.

“Do not gaze, for when you gaze upon Him, you too will be marked by Him.”

The raven appeared above Ryan's head, offering this warning; after all these years, they knew each other quite well.

"The deep sea is His kingdom; remind your soldiers never to fall into the water."

After the ravens finished speaking, they looked up at the storm in the sky. They were watching the dozens of ravens in the center of the magical ocean. Because they had actively summoned the Kraken, those ravens that had become believers had mutated.

The flesh and blood were twisted, but the outline of the raven was still visible. After all, it was a body woven from the shell of a god. The bigger problem lay in the soul.

The wizards' souls could not withstand the transformation by the great beings. Inside the tiny raven's body, the wizards' souls had been mutated into monsters that had no human form whatsoever.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from them is rising rapidly.

The world of Mikragard is dead; no legendary power can emerge from this world, for the blessings of legends do not descend upon a dead world.

But now, having become followers of the Kraken, these dozens of witch ravens have broken free from the shackles of this world. They have begun to sublimate their power, and Ryan gradually senses the legendary aura emerging in the void.

Frankly speaking, a legend who is promoted by the gods is not as good as one who receives the legendary gift through their own efforts. This is because the former's legendary gift is the authority that a great being has stripped from oneself, while the latter's legendary gift belongs to the extraordinary world itself, or rather, to the primordial origin.

There is a difference in their position.

But what if the quantity is large enough?

The appearance of dozens of legends ignited the ocean of magic in the sky. Everyone could see the sky burning, and the sparks from the friction of magic turned into falling meteors. Gradually, elemental magic of other colors began to compete for attention, and the pitch-black world became a colorful world. One legendary raven after another flew among them, losing all the rationality that belonged to wizards, and frantically rushed to attack Lord Evan's location.

Yes, even at this point, the projection of that great being, Kraken, still did not emerge from the depths of the sea to attack these mortal ants.

He was too timid, or too cautious.

“Stop them.”

At this moment, the dozens of legendary summoned ravens were no longer on their side. More than three hundred holy-level ravens rushed into the center of the burning ocean of magic, unleashing a holy-level attack.

Where is Keck?

Kledal shouted that he had not participated in the battle, that his strength was not suited for combat, and thus he commanded the surrounding area.

"He's still preparing."

……

In the sky, wizard towers floated and stood tall. With a deep, resonant chime, apprentices from the Frozen Territory emerged, their faces pale as they clutched wooden barrels or crystal vessels.

"Pour it down."

An old raven called out in a deep voice, and the apprentices poured everything they had into the ground below, and below them lay Turtle Island.

"So many wizarding potions, Keck, don't tell us you still can't activate the power of that drop of divine blood!"

The old raven stared intently at Turtle Island below, while Keck's voice echoed from inside the wizard's tower on the island.

“Karn, although you are my teacher, don’t forget that I became a legend earlier than you, and I understand the power of divine authority better than you do.”

Keck flew out in the form of a raven. Behind him, the mage Luna used her magic to activate the rainbow-colored liquid inside the vessel she was peeling, controlling it to fall into the mouth of the Keck raven. The next instant, the raven's eyes shone brightly, and its feathers emitted a faint glow.

This feeling... Ryan, on the Raven Ship, felt as if he saw the glowing raven on Liv's shoulder, but at this moment, the energy emanating from Keck was far stronger than the latter.

Exuding an aura of greatness, the raven Kaik charged towards the tortoise island below, which was originally his physical body. Now, he transformed into a pure soul state and merged into it.

The massive turtle island gradually came to life. As its enormous turtle head rose from beneath the mountain peak, rocks shattered, the island split open, and its gaping maw roared to the sky, swallowing up all the wizard potions that had spilled from the edge of the wizard tower above.

Keck could not become a legend, but his physical body had always existed as a legendary 'remains'. Now, with the Holy Domain soul controlling the legendary body, he had become incredibly powerful.

Of course, is the current Keke capable of dealing with those dozens of legendary summoned ravens? Not quite.

“Little girl, your skill in fusing yourself with the golem is quite good. I hope you won’t waste my notes from thousands of years ago.”

The mage Luna bowed respectfully behind her.

"Rest assured, Lord Keke, the path of magic and the physical body is magnificent, and I will not give up halfway."

"It couldn't be better."

Wizard Keke turned his head and swallowed his wizard tower whole. The vast source of magic became the energy that enabled the giant tortoise's body to move. It raised its head and breathed golden breath at the wizard towers in the sky.

Keck wasn't targeting all the wizard towers, but rather the dozens of eerie wizard towers surrounded by thousands of others, those radiating blood-red and deep blue light.

These wizard towers were sealed and surrounded by thousands of other wizard towers, unable to move. They wanted to ascend to the center of the ocean of magic, where their master was, but they could not do so.

All of this is part of the plan of those thousands of 'wise men' in this world.

Those dozens of ravens voluntarily mutated their souls to become Kraken's followers, but before that, they left their wizard towers behind. The reason was naturally that wizards without wizard towers have half the strength. Although they voluntarily submitted to the divine projection, they would not actually let the other ravens deal with them in their prime.

Even the dozens of legendary ravens in the sky deliberately dried up their magic before becoming followers of the Kraken.

In short, after that, the wizard potion activated the divine authority within the wizard Keck, and together with the other ravens, destroyed the wizard towers of those dozens of ravens, severely damaging them through the connection between the wizard towers and the ravens.

Dozens of living legendary ravens are difficult to deal with, but dozens of severely wounded legendary monsters are not impossible to handle.

It's important to note that this plan didn't even take into account the existence of the legendary mage Evan and Ryan's army; their presence greatly increased the success rate of the Ravens' ingenuity.

Under the siege of thousands of wizard towers, dozens of wizard towers shattered instantly. The Keck below swallowed all the falling wizard tower fragments. Then, on the turbulent sea, the noisy sea surface suddenly sank, as if a huge pit had appeared in the sea, and the sea area within a hundred miles was sunken.

"Gravity field."

"No, this is gravity."

Ryan felt that even the sea fortress beneath his feet was slowly moving with this gravitational pull.

In the sky, the dozens of legendary raven companions drawn by gravity were caught off guard and fell downwards like dumplings. They had just been severely injured by the wizard tower's connection and were no match for Keck's gravitational field.

The battlefield transformed from the sky into the ocean. The legendary raven minions, having lost their intelligence as they became minion monsters, instinctively yearned for the sea, their warm cradle. After a brief period of adapting to gravity, they did not take to the air but instead fought Keck in the sea.

"Your Excellency, Baron."

Rose arrived on the raven ship, with the alchemists behind her looking on with eager excitement. Ryan also saw the reason for their excitement: those magic crystal cannons were actually glowing in this world where magical energy was burning.

Fiery red magic patterns shimmered on the magic crystal cannon.

"Those wizards possess terrifying knowledge and ancient wizarding power. They deciphered the extraordinary techniques of the magic crystal cannon, helping us activate it while also creating a considerable number of cannonballs."

Ryan's eyes lit up, and he asked impatiently:

"Can it be replicated?"

“We were involved in the whole process, but we still can’t replicate the Magic Crystal Cannon, because in addition to magic and alchemy, the Magic Crystal Cannon also possesses power that those witches and crows have not mastered.”

"The dwarves' unique forging techniques—the magic crystal cannon was forged by the dwarves using a blacksmith's hammer—this part might require Master Brok's help."

"Being able to replicate the Magic Crystal Cannon is already quite impressive."

For Ryan, this was an unexpected surprise.

"Then let's test their power."

Ryan turned his gaze to the battlefield at sea, pointing towards Wizard Keke's side.

"Bomb over there, let me see the power of dwarven technology."

Boom! ! !
The lightning flashed and then stopped, exploding on the sea. However, the explosion was not caused by lightning. The magic crystal cannons roared continuously, and giant craters were blasted into the sea.

The legendary ravens, those dozens of ravens who voluntarily became their followers, were not chosen randomly; each raven possessed magical power.

While mastering magic, their physical bodies became fragile. Furthermore, because the power of magic was incompatible with the authority of the great being Kraken, these raven followers, after becoming legends, could not perfectly combine their mutated bodies with their magic to unleash the power of legendary magic.

Their physical bodies are fragile, and even ordinary people can injure them, let alone magic crystal cannons. Moreover, don't forget that the main force on the battlefield is the Keck Wizards, and the magic crystal cannons are just icing on the cake.

It can be said that, up to this point, everything has been perfectly accomplished under the wise control of the crows.

Next, it is time to get these legendary raven minions to actively call upon the Kraken's help.

In less than two hours, the legendary ravens on the sea began to break down. They had no reason but possessed the instinct to fight, and their instincts told them that they could not defeat these enemies.

And so... as the blood-red seawater churned, the creatures cried out in anguish, pleading for the salvation of the great being.

This is also the most tense time for all the crows.

Will the cunning Kraken, the projection of the great being, come in response to this instinctive call, without any other emotion or desire?
The sea... suddenly calmed down.

The raging waves had vanished, the undulating sea had become eerily calm, and the hazy mist, unaffected by the sky's mad magic, gradually spread across the ocean.

Ryan reached out and felt the moisture in the air, but it wasn't the cold of ordinary cold water; it was more like a bone-chilling cold.

"He's coming."

Ryan withdrew his hand and placed it on the scabbard of the Gram sword at his waist, ready to draw a sword at any moment.

All eyes were fixed on the surrounding area, especially on the location of Wizard Keck, for he was the only wizard beneath the surface of the sea, and the only bait to be exposed to Kraken's mouth.

Like a river, the alchemical potion filled the wizard Keck's massive body, and he was on the verge of exploding. He was now even more anxious, hoping that Kraken would appear and swallow him whole.

That would save a lot of effort; we could just blow the opponent up in the deep sea.

But He didn't enter the trap; instead, He appeared atop the sea fortress formed by the raven ships. Bang!!!
The loud crash startled Ryan awake on the ship, and he suddenly flew into the sky, staring at the huge raven ship he had just been on.

In the instant before anyone could react, a crashing sound of breaking planks rang out, and a tentacle over three hundred meters long, covered with suckers and eyes, pierced through the bottom of the Raven Ship, layer upon layer, appearing unstoppable in the sky above the top floor. It swaggered about, delivering a massive piercing to this most extraordinary and enormous ship in the world.

Boom! ! !
Only then did the deafening sounds of collapse and cracking ring out, and the massive raven ship was reduced to ruins by the tentacles.

"Don't untie the 'rope,' cut it!"

Ryan shouted, but his hand did not loosen its grip on the scabbard of Gram. Instead, he gathered the power of the rising knight's blood and energy into a burning dragon sword light, and with one strike, the legendary knight's combat power was undeniable.

The crimson sword light severed the three-hundred-meter-long tentacle, and the flames, which could not be extinguished by the seawater, were spreading and engulfing the entire tentacle.

This was not the end, Ryan knew very well, because as this tentacle fell, thick tentacles stretched out from all directions of the crumbling sea fortress, and several raven ships were also pierced through, completely losing their function as ships.

He is coming.

At this moment, the countless crows no longer needed to hide. Thousands of holy crows used all their resources to slay the tentacles. The entire sea was no longer a war between humans and sea monsters, but an endless tearing apart between crows and giant tentacles.

Tentacles slapped the sea surface, creating giant waves that crashed down on both sides. The crows, in their own way, tore the tentacles apart bit by bit, swallowing the flesh and blood. This was the battle plan devised by these wise men over the years: to use the flesh and blood formed from their own divine bodies to devour the flesh and blood of the Kraken, to fight divinity with divinity. Just as the opponent was devouring the divine essence of the great being Mikragard, they could do the opposite.

The crows swept in, they died, and the tentacles on the sea surface became bloody.

"Keck, have you found His true form?"

In the sky, a raven howled amidst countless crows. The burning magic of this world had long since reached its limit, and even with Evan's legendary status, he was about to collapse.

"Damn it, He's hiding too deep. These tentacles aren't even connected to His existence!"

The giant turtle island, which he had been searching for in the darkness of the deep sea, roared angrily. He followed the tentacles that stretched out of the sea surface downwards, but found no trace of the divine projection.

"It's too late. That legendary lord won't be able to hold out for much longer."

The raven was shouting. Ryan checked the time. Two and a half hours had passed since the wizard Kek started dealing with those legendary minions of the raven. More than half of the three hours they had mentioned had already passed.

In other words, when time is nearing its limit and the energy reaches its peak, it will be the moment when the wizard's grand array reaches its ultimate sublimation. At the same time, Evan will have no choice but to release it, leaving no room for hesitation.

"There's no time left, but it doesn't matter. As long as He is still in this world, He cannot escape the encirclement of the Wizard's Grand Array."

The ravens went mad, and on the edge of the world, unseen by anyone.

At the edge of the sea, centered on the legendary mage Lord Evan, evergreen vines that spread outwards from the dome had already covered every corner of the Mikragard sky several hours ago.

The area covered by the ivy is the area of ​​the wizard's grand array. The ravens were right; as long as the projection of that great being remains in this world, He cannot escape.

High in the sky, at the heart of the completely ignited ocean of magic, inside the magnificent giant raven, Evan opened his eyes, his gaze fervent. At this moment, he no longer possessed the perspective of a human, but rather looked upon this world of nothingness as the gaze of a great being.

"Welcome—divine punishment!"

At the edge of the world, the evergreen vines that once covered the sky no longer stayed in the sky, but grew from the edge towards the ocean below, like a cage. The vines that now grew and spread towards the seabed were the iron bars of the cage.

The ivy quickly reached the deep seabed of this world, and then began to close inwards on the seabed.

At the very moment the cage began to close, all life on Earth was gripped by inexplicable panic, sensing the approach of the apocalypse.

Even Ryan was no exception. The inexplicable oppression no longer came only from the magical ocean in the sky, but from every corner of the world. As a legend, he felt it very clearly. This clear feeling gave him a terrifying urge to open the dimensional gate and escape.

"Damn it, I don't want to die in this world. You'd better give me an explanation."

Ryan stepped over to a raven and grabbed it. He knew these ravens were part of the wizards and could hear him.

"Don't worry, strangers, you won't die. This is a prison of the gods, which is for great beings, not 'ants' like you."

The raven with its numb eyes said this to Ryan, and as time continued to pass, Ryan did indeed see that from all directions of the sea, pillars growing from the sky to the seabed were approaching.

"Stranger, leave this place while the gaps in the cage are still wide enough."

The raven uttered its last words before dying at Ryan's hands. Ryan, annoyed, tossed it aside and appeared above the sea fortress, severing all the 'ropes' with his sword.

"Everyone, immediately evacuate by boat!"

The cage was getting closer and closer, and the gap between the two pillars was getting smaller and smaller. The mortals on the crow ship dared not hesitate, and the free crow ship began to move at high speed towards the distant sky.

The sunlight was golden in the direction the raven ship was heading, but behind it, the frenzied, dark battlefield remained unchanged. Tentacles continued to extend, and the ravens died one after another. As the cages tightened, the ravens completely unleashed their frenzied souls as wizards.

“We will die in the Kingdom of God, and we will also be resurrected in the Kingdom of God.”

"Return, Storm's Foni—Wise Mist Gold!"

"Your people call out fervently, you awaken from your slumber!"

Ryan turned around and saw a scene that shocked him beyond belief.

High in the sky, a colossal Primal Raven composed of purple and silver light, enveloping the legendary mage Evan, split in two at the call of the Witch Ravens.

The purple Tai Su crow's eyes were no longer rigid, but became lively, and the silver Tai Su crow was surging with the power of a storm, becoming even more terrifying.

[Knowledge] [Storm]

The two powers are not combined, but rather... the gods of the Mikla world are two!
Funi, who controls the storm; Wujin, who wields knowledge.

They are the twins of this world, the sea and the sky.

"These witch crows have only been fully exposed now."

"but……"

Ryan felt those lively eyes looking at him.

Funi and Wujin are deities of this world, but probably no one knows that one is a god and the other is a spirit.

It is precisely because of this difference that they were able to split in two and escape death in the Northern Lands and the transdimensional war of the gods.

Unfortunately, the deceased Stormfox also ended up in Ryan's hands.

The cage was getting smaller and smaller. On the raven ship that had already sailed out through the gap, Ryan subconsciously closed his eyes because the cage behind him was emitting an extremely dazzling light.

Many worlds, a vast ocean of magic, and the authority and wisdom of the ravens of this world—the ultimate wizarding array sealed the projection of the great being within, and then carried out the final command within the cage.

Bloom!

Golden light shone at the edge of the sea. This world had no sun, but at this moment, Ryan saw the sun created by the wizards.

He was magnificent; He burned everything inside the cage and annihilated everything.

The seas of Mikragard have calmed down, just like before. But somewhere in the sea, the golden 'sun' continues to shine, and the terrifying magical energy from multiple worlds cannot be completely burned away in a short time.

"The extraordinary powers of this world have all come to an end."

Ryan stood on the deck, and beside him, apart from Brand, the others, including Egil, could not look up because they had not become legends and had not received the legendary blessings of the spiritual world.

"Those witch crows, are they all dead?"

Brand was somewhat surprised, not expecting this outcome.

"Their final call is for return to the Kingdom of God, which could potentially lead to their resurrection in the future, but..."

Ryan glanced at his spiritual panel, while Brand next to him looked puzzled, sensing that the gate to a vast spiritual world was right beside him.

【The Crow Spirit Bestows Blessings】

Ryan didn't know if these ravens could possibly come back to life in the future, but... the great beings in this world who were called back to briefly awaken were definitely all dead.

Where is Lord Evan?

Ryan was a little confused. Evan was still in the cage. Could he be dead?
This level of power is meant to kill gods; a legendary mage inside... probably wouldn't survive long.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow in the sky gradually grew larger. Brand caught it with lightning speed, but due to the frail physical characteristics of a magic saint, Lord Evan was still pale, and strange noises came from his bones.

"It's broken, it's broken."

"Isn't this price a bit too high for you?"

Ryan asked, and he could sense that Evan's life force was weak, as if he were about to die.

"Hahaha."

"It's alright, I'm a life mage, I can replenish my life force, but the chance to kill a god is not many."

"This feeling... is so amazing."

Evan laughed weakly but excitedly. Ryan didn't want to stop him, since it was the other person who was losing life force anyway, so he had someone help him to rest.

"I wonder when this 'sun' will go out. That divine projection is so cunning, could it still be alive?"

Evan shook his head from a distance.

"impossible."

"That power may seem to be blooming only in one place, but in reality, its range covers every corner of this world, and great beings in particular cannot possibly escape it."

While the figures on the ship were exchanging words, the vines and 'ropes' that Ryan had severed at the edge of the Raven Ship swayed in the wind. The next moment, the ropes became transparent and then solidified again, but this time they were no longer vines, but tentacles that had wrapped around a giant octopus.

It is a projection of the gods in this world, and should act on instinct, but at this moment its eyes reveal wisdom.

With lingering fear, the octopus glanced at the distant 'sun' before falling into the water without a splash, disappearing as if it had dissolved instantly.
