The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 200 Facing the True Form of the God
In the distance, the Moon Elf Queen Antinoya gazed at the golden and blazing white meteors falling in the night sky.

Is this the end?

The monarch of Eldoron sacrificed his life to destroy the avatar of the Sun Prince and prevent a terrible ritual that would destroy civilization!
But what's the use?

They only destroyed a battle avatar, without harming the deity's true form, and even further angered the deity.

I don't know if Laclais's ritual can be considered a failure.

However, even if this ceremony cannot continue, as long as there is a divine oracle, a second or third ceremony can be performed.

Did Eldoron, the human kingdom, ultimately lose?

"Hey……"

After a long while, the Queen of the Moon Elves let out a long sigh.

When Prince Sunlight descended to earth, she should have known that the ending was already predetermined.

Eldoron's feat of challenging the gods was nothing more than a futile struggle, a last-ditch effort by insignificant mortals against an irresistible fate.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

The many moon elves looked bewildered and asked the queen a question.

Humans defeated the god of the Sun Elves, but in doing so, they thoroughly angered the deity.

"You don't need to do anything. Just remember everything that happened tonight." Antinoya looked at the many human spellcasters who were like twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Because, before long, we will forget everything related to humanity..."

Princess Lia, watching from afar, sighed softly as she gazed at the two shooting stars streaking across the night sky.

Years ago, she led the Sun Elf army to conquer Eldoron, only to be defeated by the humans. Who could have foreseen that one day, even the Sun Elf gods would be utterly defeated before these insignificant mortals...

boom!
In the night sky, that blazing white meteor—Elian's body, engulfed in blazing white flames—vanished with a bang, like a bubble that had been popped.

Elian's "body" has disappeared!

It was like a phantom projection shattering.

At this moment, both the Moon Elf Queen Antinoya and the Sun Elf Princess Lia simultaneously recalled:

Twenty years ago, when King Elion of Man first appeared before him at the banquet of the Elven Royal Court, he was shown a "projection".

That "projection" allows you to drink tea, eat, and interact with external objects!
……

In the far east, in the land of humankind, Eldoron.

Inside the palace of Elion, a hidden room connects to a demiplane protected by layers of Guardian Runes and summoned creatures.

Elian's true form—this time, it should be his real form—awakens in bed:

"Using a modified version of the [Astral Projection] spell, I created a projection that can hold all of my power."

"The effect is not bad."

"Unfortunately, after this trick was exposed once, everyone knew that I usually used projections to operate, and they might adopt tactics that target projections."

"There's no other way. After all, the opponent is the incarnation of a mid-level deity, so some sacrifices have to be made..."

Elian stretched and loosened his limbs before leisurely getting up, recalling his conversation with Ain before his departure.

"The plan is now complete, only the last two steps remain..."

……

The Elven Kingdom of Avando.

The air was filled with the aroma of wine and the sounds of singing; the festivities were reaching their climax.

boom.

Prince Terani slammed his fist on the table, causing the wine in his silver cup to slosh and spill.

"These damned humans!"

"They actually destroyed my battle avatar. It took me a lot of effort to create this battle avatar."

"I must teach them a lesson."

Prince Sunlight raised his right hand, and a radiant light, as brilliant as the sun, shone from it.

Then, this radiant right hand stretched out into the void, as if reaching for another world.

"You seem to have been blinded by anger, my child," said the goddess Aros with a smile.

"So you actually want to extend a part of your true form into the mortal realm?"

“Even if this isn’t a complete divine descent, it’s enough to make you pay the price.” Prince Tarani of the Sun was filled with rage.

"Don't worry about me, Mother."

"I must make those arrogant and disrespectful races pay the price!"

……

In the frigid night sky, humanity cheered in victory.

"So, His Majesty El-Erian is safe now, and has been operating outside via projection?"

After receiving a reply from Grete, Elian's protégé, Gutt finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes. So we don’t need to worry.” Gray nodded, his face beaming with joy.
"We have won this battle!"

Meanwhile, countless humans embraced tightly in the air, celebrating their victory.

This is the greatest victory since the founding of Eldoron.

They successfully defeated a god, even if it was just an avatar.

As Guter watched the divine incarnation transform into a golden meteor and crash to the ground, causing a massive explosion, a smile crept onto his lips, and a surge of pride welled up in his chest.

He glanced at his childhood sweetheart, who looked haggard and whose blond hair fluttered in the wind:
"Helen, we won."

"We have defeated the god we saw in our childhood."

At this point, Gutt no longer cared about Elian's attitude towards Ain.

Whether the king agreed to become Aion's servant, whether he had ever bowed down to a god, was the most irrelevant thing to a hero who slew gods with a mortal body...

boom!
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded high in the sky, causing the entire Sun Elf Royal Palace to tremble slightly.

"what happened?"

Cracks spread across the night sky, and then space shattered completely, leaving a hole.

The sky was torn apart.

And in that hollow, a huge hand, radiating a dazzling light like the sun, was slowly reaching downwards.

"what is that?"

"It looks like a hand?"

"The hand of God? The hand of Prince Terani of the Sun!"

A terrifying, suffocating aura and oppressive feeling descended from the sky, causing both the sun elf soldiers in the palace and the human spellcasters in the air to feel a tremor from the depths of their souls.

The hand of the gods is trying to reach into the real world!
……

"God!"

On the ground, the Sun King Larklais was being held down by the claws of two iron golems and a bone dragon, barely managing to lift his head.

He first saw the Sun Prince's battle avatar destroyed, turning into a golden meteor that crashed to the ground, causing his eyes to widen in shock.

God was defeated, lost to the united, unbelievers of the East.

Then, Laclais saw the giant hand of the gods reaching out from the void.

"Praise be to you, great Prince Sun!"

"The eldest son of the God-King, the commander of all armies, the invincible God of War!"

The aged King of the Sun Elves shed two streams of hot tears.

Suddenly, Laclais felt the pressure on his back ease.

The skeletal dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the giant hand that was about to fall from the sky.

"This incredibly powerful high-level undead was drawn away by the aura of a god?"

"This also means..."

At this moment, two iron golems that were suppressing Larklas were about to bind the Sun Elf King with chains engraved with runes.

"what!"

With his last remaining strength, the middling legendary priest suddenly sprang up, forcefully breaking free from the two iron golems' restraints, and ran straight towards the iron bed that bound Seymour.

The ceremony is just one step away from completion!
