Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 624-622: The Final Battle (Part 1)
In the end, Michael, the lord of the floating city, did not die! But he also failed to survive!

Instead, it moves back and forth seamlessly between death and life.

After Loy completed his primal baptism and gained insight into the fundamental laws of the multiverse, many of his combat skills underwent ultimate evolution.

For example, this spacetime prison, which was originally a mixture of time and space rules, has now been incorporating a Möbius strip structural model.

This creates the concept of infinite space, making entering it worse than being trapped in a maze, as there is no exit.

After adding the time reset rule, it will revert to the initial state at some point in time.

As a result, after Michael was burned to death, time reversed, and he returned to his original state.
Then, flames fell from the sky and burned him to ashes.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly, like a cycle of reincarnation, without end.

But each time, the pain he had to endure was real and undeniable.

Under such torment, even death would be a relief.

When Michael became a prisoner, it signified the fall of the Silver Top and the end of this interdimensional war.

Luo Yi contacted the Demon Eye King, Fero, and the front-line command. Just moments later, the roar of artillery fire across the entire floating continent gradually subsided.

Perhaps the Arcane Towers haven't been captured yet, but simply surrounding them without attacking is enough to keep them from moving.

A moment later, a location portal opened, and the Demon Eye King Ferro led a large group of legendary powerhouses and mechanical mages from the Flower Territory into the Mysterious Hall.

They conducted a thorough search of the mysterious temple, attempting to decipher and study it.

The pinnacle of a magical civilization's masterpiece is certainly not so easy to decipher, and even understanding it is difficult.

Fortunately, the technology of the Magic Energy Industry was transmitted from the Silver Top, which is the foundation of the Netheril magical civilization, so it can be considered a direct continuation of the same lineage.

The mechanical mages observed with gleaming eyes, studying every structure, every corner, and even every magic rune with great interest.

Many mechanical mages even knelt on the ground without any regard for their image, sticking their buttocks out, staring at the twelve-pointed star array, not even willing to blink.

Luo Yi didn't have much patience. He only waited a moment before summoning the Demon Eye King, Fero, and said, "This Silver Top is ours now. From now on, you can study it however you want. There's plenty of time!"

The crisis is not over yet. Tell me, what can you do?

The Demon Eye King, Fero, was both excited and terrified, shivering all over, yet he still immediately asked, "What do you want us to do?"

Luo Yi narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Could we end the [Cataclysm of the Gods] first and allow the gods of Herka to return to their rightful places?"

"This one……"

The King of the Demon Eyes looked somewhat troubled: "It's not impossible, but the time required might be unacceptable to you."

"Then continue to control the Silver Top to escape the Herka plane. Michael said that once the floating city is gone, the [Cataclysm of the Gods] will end."

In that situation, he shouldn't have lied to me!

"This one might be a little easier, I'll do my best!"

"All the mages of the Flower Territory are at your command; all the arcane towers, libraries, and laboratories on the Silver Top are at your disposal."

You also have the right to deal with all arcane mages captured on the battlefield, and can even promise them freedom and status if necessary.

And him…”

At this point, Luo Yi pointed to Michael, who was between life and death, and said, "Even if it is him, you can interrogate him if needed."

What I need is speed, the fastest speed possible!

“You should know better than anyone that my time is running out. Before that, I have to ensure Herka’s safety.”

"Yes!"

The King of the Demon Eyes reluctantly agreed; he hadn't felt this sense of urgency in a long time.

After agreeing, he immediately roared loudly, even kicking a legendary mage to the ground, and commanded them to move at once.

The fixed-point teleportation portal was kept open for an extended period. The Lion Floating City retained only the most basic control mages, while all others were transferred to ensure sufficient manpower.

After a brief moment of thought, the King of the Demon Eyes assigned personnel and began to work from four directions.

First, a group of people, mainly legendary mages proficient in 'Tower Spiritification', were tasked with communicating with the spirits of the Arcane Tower in order to break through its defense mechanisms.

It should be said that the archmages did not have much trust in the tower spirits.

That's because the Nesseril civilization experienced a 'riot crisis of living beings,' so they only used the Tower Spirits as auxiliary.

They don't give you any real autonomy whatsoever.

However, the existence of the Tower Spirits is also necessary. Through them, all aspects of the Silver Top can be accessed, making it the easiest way to sort out the overall situation.

Secondly, the focus was on deciphering and searching the arcane towers, laboratories, libraries, and personal treasure vaults of the twelve archmages to obtain information.

Magic is a very rigorous science; even with the best memory, it's impossible to store all the information in one's brain.

Therefore, magic notebooks are essential for every magician, and many great magicians even meticulously categorize their training and research.

Each section will have a magic notebook for differentiation.

In other words, as long as the corresponding notes of these great arcanists are found, the Silver Top can be taken control of at the fastest speed.

The third part focuses on recruitment, involving visiting all prisoner-of-war camps and using coercion and enticement to find and recruit arcane mages with the corresponding abilities.

Even the great archmages couldn't do everything themselves; they would always delegate some tasks to their close disciples.

If this group of people could lead the way, the subsequent excavation work would be much easier.

Finally, Fero, the Lord of the Eyes, led his most elite forces to the location of the Core of Nesser.
All attempts and experiments must be conducted here.

As for Michael, the King of the Demon Eyes did not touch him!
Don't be fooled by the current miserable state of this floating city lord; it's only because Luo Yi is there for him.

If it were really handed over to them, it's hard to say what kind of trouble they might cause!

As a fellow powerful mage, Michael knew better than anyone how powerful a terrifying mage of this caliber could be, and how many trump cards they possessed.

He really doesn't want to touch it unless absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, Luo Yi wasn't idle either. He contacted the front-line command through [Lion King] and made various arrangements.

For example, special missiles might launch and land, creating portals at key locations.

Then, the Flower Territory's guards began a swift and orderly retreat.

There's no way around it; if you really get to the Chaos Star Realm, without air, mortals will suffocate.

Of course, the Prayer Legion doesn't care; their bodies are special, being semi-energy beings, and they can adapt to the astral environment.

After all, divine battles can take place in the depths of hell or in the astral plane, and the body needs special shaping to ensure combat power.

However, it was impossible for the entire Imperial Guard to retreat!

The remnants of Netheril have not been completely wiped out, so the Flower Territory has transferred some legendary warriors or Scourge warriors with special equipment to take over the defense line!
Some of the land combat kings and fighter jets, which underwent special modifications and were equipped with their own oxygen circulation systems to meet the needs of interplanetary combat, were also retained.

The others, due to time constraints, didn't even manage to bring their weapons and equipment; tanks, vehicles, and magic cannons were all fixed to the ground.

Only the combat personnel returned to the Lion Floating City through the portal.

These tasks are actually quite tedious, but once Luo Yi gives the order, someone will naturally carry it out.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and activated the [Eye of Heaven] once again to observe the spatial rift outside that plane.

There, the sun god, though transformed into a blazing sun, radiates endless, dazzling light, almost capable of burning everything.

Even so, it is still impossible to completely block it.

Through the brilliance of the sun, Luo Yi saw all sorts of deformed beasts.

Some snakes slithered like long serpents, their bodies adorned with countless spirits of the dead.

Some resemble ferocious lions and tigers, yet they have grown wings made of white bones;

Some resembled deep-sea whales, but were rotten to the point that only their skeletons remained;
Some resemble floating jellyfish, but their tentacles are covered with heads...

These are astral floating beasts that devour souls, the forerunners of the god-abomination Atorox, also known as: Death Star Beasts!

Through these Death Star Beasts, one can also see the meteorite rings surrounding the body of the Divine Abomination.

But it wasn't a meteorite; it was made up of the bones of the dead, the wailing souls of billions, and fragments of divine remains.

It is called the 'Skeleton Planetary Belt' and possesses the power to blaspheme the crown. It is not only a defensive belt, but also a place where all the dead are awakened by its light.

Please note that this awakening is indiscriminate of distance, race, and burial conditions, and can be transformed into an undead puppet that attacks all living beings.

These skeletal planetary belts also contain some decayed celestial bodies, such as comets and meteorites.

They are vanguard beacons, called 'Crypt Stars', which can be thrown out as meteors when needed.

The divine abominations it carries possess the power of 'blasphemy and corruption'.

Living things exposed to this for a long time will mutate, or even mutate into immortal creatures. Therefore, some gods call it 'Star Corruption'!
After that, Luo Yi couldn't see very clearly, but the [Eye of Heaven] was used to its fullest potential.

Through the enormous spatial rift, he vaguely saw an even more terrifying scene.

Rotting rocks, humus, wriggling organs, and a gigantic, cracked eye emitting a ghastly green beam of light, greedily chasing after life.

There are also mountains of fossilized spines, oceans of corrupted blood, and storms that rise up as the gasps of divine monstrosities.

According to the information provided by Deep Blue, the abomination Atorcross also possesses the power to corrupt celestial bodies.

Whenever the true form approaches, the atmosphere is transformed into a suffocating poisonous fog, vegetation turns to ash, and water boils and evaporates. Furthermore, the power of the eternal resurrection of the dead awakens all the dead within the plane, turning them into crazed puppets that attack life.

It possesses the power of divine devouring, forcibly extracting the life essence from the star core, turning the earth into lifeless, stone blocks.

There is a reality-distorting force field that interferes with the dimensional structure, causing spells to fail, teleportation to become disordered, and time to stop, forming a "magical desert".

It possesses the power of a divine calamity storm, which ejects corrupting meteorites from the earth's surface, creating blasphemous temples or divine wrathful servants upon landing.

To be honest, this is a terrifying being that doesn't inspire any fighting spirit just by looking at the information, yet it is the enemy that Luo Yi is about to face.

At one moment, Loy stroked the scales of the red dragon Virgil and whispered, "You don't need to go to this battle!"

The red dragon Virgil suddenly turned his head, his ferocious head facing Roy, and Roy's image was reflected in his huge dragon eyes.

"No, Luo Yi, what do you mean? A dragon knight, what kind of dragon knight is he without a dragon?"

Or do you think I'm too weak and a burden to you?

Lori calmed Virgil the red dragon down, saying, "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated. There's a reason I don't want you to go. Listen to it first."

"Fine, let's see what logic you can come up with?"

"First of all, even if the crisis in the Herka plane is resolved, it doesn't mean that Flower Territory is safe."

Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil, and Flame Sword Saint Otto, though they have achieved legendary status, it is not enough, far from enough, to protect the vast empire of the Raymond family.

Therefore, I need your help to protect Lilia and Klein!

"Where is the King of the Demon Eyes?"

"I can trust you completely, but I can't trust him!"

“But I still think you should keep your Flower Territory by yourself. The god-like Atrox is terrifying, but he is not truly invincible.”

"This is the second reason. Do you remember [Dragon Soul Resurrection]?"

As long as you're still alive, even if I die in battle, I'll have a chance to be resurrected. Therefore, I need to leave myself a way out, and you are my way out.

At this point, Virgil the Red Dragon was truly speechless.

Frustrated, he shook his ferocious dragon head, flapped his wings, and flew out of the Mysterious Palace, letting out a series of heart-stirring dragon roars over the vast floating continent.

Especially when encountering those stubbornly resisting arcane towers, he flaps his wings, accelerates, and dives...

The powerful dragon body crashed into it, crushing the defensive barrier to pieces.

Meanwhile, the reverse engineering work of the Eye of the Demon King, Ferro Farnsworth, lasted for a full day and night, and finally made qualitative progress.

The Silver Top's operating system was more complex than they had anticipated.

However, the attempt to persuade them to surrender was still successful.

They took the mummified corpses of the twelve archmages and a photograph of Michael, and strolled around the prisoner camp, completely shattering the morale of the archmages.

Then, an arcanist revealed his identity.

Among them was a direct descendant of the second-in-command of the Arcane Council, who was taken in as an experimental assistant in the Arcane Tower.

With his authority, he found the Arcane Council's second-in-command's magical notes about controlling the Silver Top in a hidden laboratory.

The Demon Eye King and his group also gained a great deal of information from this.

Logically, astral travel should first involve establishing a defensive force field that covers the entire floating continent, and then fully operating the ecological cycle system and gravity simulation barrier.

This time, however, he recklessly manipulated the floating ring, forcibly unleashing enormous power to push the entire floating continent beyond the plane.

Due to damage from the battle, nearly one-fifth of the floating continent disintegrated and fell back to the earth.

But it's impossible to balance both!
After the Silver Top detached, the plane's repair function operated almost spontaneously.

The dimensional consciousness mobilized sufficient primal power to begin repairing the holes in the dimensional barrier.

The pace is slow, but the damage is being repaired little by little.

Meanwhile, after the Silver Top detached, the [Cataclysm of the Gods] automatically ended.

The gates of the divine kingdom slowly opened, and under its immense pull, seventeen dazzling rays of light shot straight into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

Even the sacred bonfires on the floating continent blazed fiercely, their roaring flames bringing the power of the divine kingdom and restoring the initiators to immortality once more.

But danger was also lurking silently!
One of the Eight Demon Generals of Hell, Balzefin, the Demon Lord of the Deep Hell who commands the Bloodbath Demon Legion;

Kadum, the Lord of the Abyss and King of Balor;

The fourth level lord of Hell, Grand Duke Birel, who fights using the divine weapon, the thorn.
There is also the Undead King, the Lich King, Merif;

Menno, the evil cloud giant god;
And, Manzcorian, the god of mind flayers.

These six great beings, at the level of monarchs, had already formed a semi-encircling posture, completely obscuring the sky above the Silver Top.

Even with the god-like abomination Atorox before them, this did not extinguish their greed.

It could even be said that it was precisely because they already knew this would be an apocalyptic material plane that they became even more unscrupulous.

In their eyes, the Silver Top was their target. The highest magical crystallization of Netheril contained unimaginable mysteries and riches.

And that dimensional barrier with its gaping hole was like a treasure vault with its doors wide open.
Once they break in, they can take whatever they want, whether it's life, flesh and blood, soul, land, plants, minerals, or even the origin and essence of a plane.

This is an unparalleled temptation, one that they simply cannot resist.

But at that very moment, an angry dragon roar resounded!
Ho ho ho ho!

The massive body of the red dragon Virgil was like a mountain spreading its wings, and his breath ignited him completely.
Luo Yi stood atop his head, holding the divine rapier, her sacred dragon flame battle aura blooming and spreading like flowing water, intertwining with the red dragon's power.

Then, a sword light appeared, stretching from one end of the field of vision to the other, separating chaos and the sky.

An evil divine power tried to suppress it, but it crumbled at the slightest touch and was forced to retreat continuously.

Immediately following behind, the man and the dragon plunged into the network of evil divine power that filled the sky.

At this moment, he faced six opponents alone, yet he showed no fear whatsoever. He unleashed punches and kicks, channeling his battle aura, sweeping through with his combat techniques, his sword flashing fiercely...

In just a few dozen breaths, Luo Yi broke through the encirclement again and stood on the Silver Top.

Before him, the six divine and demonic avatars, who were forced to cooperate, were great beings, but they were cut into pieces.

At this moment, Luo Yi stepped forward, his slender sword pointing into the distance, his spirit shaking the void, allowing his voice to reach the ears of these gods and demons.

"This is not a place for you to leech off others, so if you don't want to die, get out! Get out! Get out!"

The last word, with its thunderous and tyrannical power, pressed down on the six gods and demons.

Even those as powerful as them changed color somewhat.

But there were still those who refused to admit defeat. For example, the Balrog King Kadum roared, "The World Destroyer has arrived! You are nothing but a stray dog, a homeless wanderer in the abyss, with your family destroyed. How dare you be so arrogant?"

Luo Yi suddenly looked at Him, her eyes seeming to be brewing a storm: "They can all leave, but you must die, I said it!!!"

"Then come on, I'll sacrifice one of my clones to keep you occupied, but how are you going to defend this Silver Dome and this Herka plane?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"

Roy slapped the red dragon Virgil, and the two thrusters behind the dragon-shaped mech ignited, spewing blue flames, and with the flapping of its wings, it took flight, distorting space.

The next second, Loy pounced on Kadum, the Balrog King, and with a wave of his hand, threw a ball of fire at him.

Thus, their battlefield was completely engulfed in flames, and even in the astral plane, chaos and nothingness were ignited.

However, Kadum managed to keep Loy pinned down here, while the other five gods and demons, seeing an opportunity, tried to slip into the plane.

But at that very moment, beams of holy light descended, transforming into seventeen divine avatars.

The native gods of Herka have finally returned in triumph!
Their divine power not only covered the holes in the dimensional barrier, but also protected the Silver Top.

As the five gods and demons approached, they attacked without hesitation, unleashing a barrage of divine powers and spells, giving the impression that they were about to overturn the star realm.

At this moment, the five gods and demons were being chased so fast that they were leaping and bounding about, fleeing everywhere.

At that very moment, Loy rode the red dragon Virgil out of the sea of ​​fire. Behind him, the Balrog King Kadum let out a miserable roar before exploding into pieces.

At this moment, the five gods and demons dared not linger any longer. Instead, they distorted space, triggered a teleportation spell, and escaped completely.

At this moment, facing Roy, the seventeen native gods of Herka all placed their hands on their chests, bowed their heads, and respectfully paid their respects.

Kroy had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with them; she simply nodded slightly and gazed into the depths of the star realm.

He patted Virgil's horns and whispered, "The Sun God can't hold on much longer, I have to go!"

Virgil the Red Dragon pursed his lips and said, "I'll be waiting for your return in the Land of Flowers!"

"it is good!"

The next second, Luo Yi crouched slightly, then exerted force, using the reaction force to propel himself like a shooting star towards his battlefield!

It charged even towards the god-like abomination Atorox.

His speed increased rapidly, even stirring up elemental storms in the vacuum of the astral plane, propelling him forward relentlessly.

Until it surpassed the sun god, smashed the tomb star, crushed a group of death star beasts, and crashed into the skeletal planetary belt!

boom!
This was an energy shockwave spreading through nothingness, even obscuring the sun's light and eclipsing the stars.

This is only the beginning of the battle!
