As for the son of the gnoll king who ruled over everything, and the leader of the tribe, he was naturally beaten to death by the mob, and his head was taken by a high-ranking Nesserian warrior.
It was finally over. Maginos closed her eyes slightly, feeling a bit tired. After all, resisting the assimilation and energy infusion from the abyss was very mentally taxing.
"I'm leaving now. Come find me if you need anything, otherwise don't bother me."
Maginus, unwilling to linger in the Abyss, greeted Mecanshite and vanished instantly. The Succubus Queen herself beamed with joy; having thwarted the enemy's plot and still being able to remain on the Prime Material Plane, what could be happier than this?
Chapter 765 The Formed Artifact Embryo
The gnolls have been wiped out, and the remaining Nesserian troops in the surrounding areas do not need to be dealt with; they can be handed over to the local forces.
The returning army of Nesserre was revered by all. During their absence, Maginus publicized their feats in the newspapers, allowing the soldiers to enjoy the feeling of being respected.
The veterans, in particular, were deeply moved, because in the past they were called soldiers who defended their country, but they were more like bandits.
Some were happy while others were sad. The survivors got to see their families on holiday, but some never came back. Only a handful of ashes and armor, along with a large sum of compensation, were sent home.
Some people were genuinely grieving, while others suppressed their joy. The authorities showed no intention of addressing the family issues, only expressing slight regret for some soldiers who did not leave any last words.
Many of the surviving elites were promoted, and they were all full of vigor and hope for their future.
The army suffered heavy losses in terms of manpower, but the number of soldiers was not reduced much. Some soldiers from the countries besieged by the gnolls were conscripted by the Nesery army, and they were taken back to Nesery with their families for resettlement.
The new recruits still need practice, but they are all people with a desire to improve, so they should be able to adapt to their positions and military rules quickly.
Several months had passed since the triumphant return to the city. As Maginus listened to the queen's report in his arms, his hands became restless, causing Lenia to blush and slump in her arms, insisting on finishing each word.
In short, my country is thriving.
Other problems gradually emerged over time. In short, some people were trying to overreach and make money that didn't belong to them. Maginus's solution was naturally to kill them all and replace them with a new batch.
Officials can make money in the cities and territories they control, but they must do so within certain rules and not cause widespread suffering. Before such a situation arises, Maginus will kill the entire family.
She granted the Church of the Three Gods certain law enforcement powers, allowing them to kill on the spot any nobles or officials who disregarded human life, and even slaves could not be beaten or scolded at will.
Fortunately, more and more nobles and officials had become accustomed to Maginus's tyranny, and because of the impending war, they did not have much of a desire to escape. If they really had nowhere to go, their lives were more important.
After turning his gaze away from the window, he had a good time playing with Lenia in the study. He then carried the exhausted and sleeping Lenia into the bedroom, straightened his clothes, cleaned himself of the scent, closed his eyes, and sent his avatar to Emerald City.
The largest dwarf workshop was bustling with activity. All the materials given by Maginus were condensed and compressed, becoming harder and more exotic. Greatswords and longswords with both metallic and crystal luster appeared before her.
As things stand, they are still very large, some over ten meters long and others three or four meters long, and they need to be compressed and condensed using the dwarves' special methods.
Sweat beaded on the foreheads of the legendary craftsmen, and their soul and life energies flowed into the embryos as the forging process continued. Maginus raised his hand to bestow upon them more vitality and spiritual energy, helping them maintain their prime and preventing them from suddenly dying.
"Haven't you had a rest for days?"
She asked the apprentice beside her, and the senior craftsman replied with a respectful but worried expression, "The teachers haven't had a break for almost five days, and this phase is estimated to take another five days or so."
Only a legend could endure ten days of continuous forging. However, even if they did, they would suffer permanent damage without Maginus's help. Fortunately, she was able to assist the dwarves in forging, otherwise their bodies would not have been able to withstand such deterioration.
The enormous greatsword and longsword are shrinking little by little. The essence is being guided towards the center through magic, special tools, and the blacksmith's methods, while the scrap edges are being chipped off. In the end, it is estimated that two weapon embryos that fit the size of Maginus will remain.
He raised his hand and dripped his blood onto the materials in front of him. His life force and spiritual energy flowed into the weapon materials. The dwarven craftsmen were oblivious to this. This was also their requirement. The energy of the gods could make these two weapons more in harmony with the gods themselves.
Unbeknownst to all the dwarves, Maginus also infused his own divinity and power into the material, which spread throughout the material, causing subtle fluctuations that did not temporarily alter the material's inherent hardness.
But gradually, they will become extensions of Maginos's limbs, like the arm that commands.
“Great Goddess,” the dwarf bishop, panting as he removed his priest’s robes to reveal his muscles, approached with excited eyes, “we need dragon blood for tempering and other matters.”
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Nesseriri happens to have a legendary dragon. If it's unwilling to give blood, Maginus can go to Bennia, who has a lot of resources.
With a light snap of his fingers, he vanished from Emerald City, transforming into a figure in the skies above Nesserian. He closed his eyes and released a wave of energy, searching for the trail of the bronze dragon. In a tavern outside the city's garrison, he found Joyce, who was excitedly grabbing two menacing-looking people and slamming their heads together, causing their brains to splatter everywhere.
Two wicked adventurers planned to have sex with her first, then have sex with her later. Joyce, who was using entrapment to enforce the law, naturally eliminated them directly. She took a money bag from the adventurers' pockets and threw it to the horrified boss, then walked towards the backyard of the tavern.
This tavern wasn't a good place either. Boys and girls were locked in cages and crying, clearly captured and there for some unknown purpose. Joyce slapped a guard away and released all the children.
When the guards came over, she took out her token. The guards' expressions changed and they chose to lower their heads. Joyce sneered and led the children away from the territory, sending some of them to towns directly under the jurisdiction of the Maginos City Guard, and others home.
Several hours had passed since she finished her good deed, and just as she was feeling happy about it, Maginus appeared beside the copper dragon:
"Joyff, give me some dragon blood, a few buckets, for quenching."
The sudden appearance of Her Majesty the Queen startled her, but she relaxed when she saw that it was someone she knew. Without hesitation, she raised her petite arm and asked, "Ordinary dragon blood will do?"
"Ah."
She stayed in Nesserei for a long time. In her heart, Maginus was definitely a wise ruler, a friend, and a wealthy man. A little dragon blood was like half a tube of blood being drawn from a human for a physical examination compared to her huge body.
Having obtained the materials he needed, Maginus inquired about Joyeve's recent situation before disappearing back to Emerald City to deliver the dragon blood to the dwarven craftsman.
Chapter 766 Only One Year Left
There is only one year left until the War of the Saints.
Aside from countries with close ties to certain deities, other regions are becoming increasingly dangerous, and the resurgence of ancient liches is merely a minor matter.
Spatial rifts have appeared in some places, and demons and otherworldly creatures have begun to frequently travel back and forth across the Prime Material Plane. The most serious situation is in the cold region on the edge of Red Sparrow City, which has attracted mages who have hired many adventurers to fight against them.
Every country experiences a severe outbreak of disease, but the intention is not to kill people; the goal is simply to prolong the illness as much as possible.
Although it was the work of the Goddess of Plague, since it did not cause too many casualties, the Church of Benevolence, busy dealing with creatures from the lower realms and evil otherworldly beings, did not immediately pay attention to K's Church. As long as no one died, everything was fine.
The North has become even colder, and the already scarce food has become even more scarce. Moreover, it wasn't made by the Ice Maiden; rather, it was something deep within the North that was emanating extreme cold, and something was changing.
According to a rumor passed by a spy, an even more ancient goddess of ice and snow is reviving and will reclaim what she has. The veracity of this claim is questionable, as the goddess of ice and snow's followers have almost all disappeared.
Maginus was quite interested in this. As far as she knew, there seemed to be followers of the Snow Goddess on the snowy mountains of a small country not far from Nesery. Most of them were beastmen or barbarians. They seemed to have been driven here long ago after losing the war in the North.
The seas churned, and coastal areas were hit by tsunamis. Even pirates, followers of the sea goddess, and priests dared not venture into the sea. A more powerful being in the ocean was influencing the entire world through spatial rifts connecting the water elemental plane.
There was some good news, though. A desert suddenly turned into a forest, and the power of the forest goddess spread throughout it. Adventurers saw an elegant green-haired girl riding a unicorn, who disappeared instantly after leaving the desert.
A dazzling light fell from a special spot filled with fountains. The light flashed and disappeared, but some adventurers still caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman.
In a town controlled by the Lady of the Night, a thief stole important items from the church...
A dungeon has been discovered, emanating the aura of legendary equipment and even divine artifacts, attracting a large number of adventurers...
In areas teeming with the undead, undead creatures have become active, leading to a surge in deaths that even the Church of the Sleepers cannot effectively control...
More and more anomalies appeared and intensified in this final year, magical tides surged, the entire universe was affected, stars shifted, and all things flourished.
As the center of the universe, the sun, moon, and surrounding celestial bodies of the continent of Knoil emit extremely dazzling light, and the creatures above them are all affected by it.
Some powerful beings who had been in space for an unknown period of time were rushing back to Konoil. Even those who were not native to this planet were following the prophecy and carefully came to this strange and powerful planet to lie in ambush, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to gain something.
The most affected place is naturally Knoil, where revival and destruction occur simultaneously, and prosperity and decline are locked in a fierce struggle. This is only the prelude; the real battle will not take place for another year.
However, some people couldn't hold back any longer. In February of this year, the capital of a certain major country was suddenly destroyed, and the entire country fell apart!
The central region of the continent was thus shaken, and war broke out suddenly between various countries for reasons unknown. The border regions observed the great battle and built their own walls higher and stronger.
Shifting the perspective from the macro to the micro, Maginus, located in the underground library, slowly opened her eyes, ruffled the hair of the book spirit in her arms, and stirred up ripples of magic and space with every move. Everything was related to the laws of the world and the universe, but there were also things that were out of place.
The temple in the consciousness space has been completely built, with only the final base remaining to be shaped. When the base is fully connected with the divine essence floating in the air, she will become a true god.
The time is not far off, five months, just five more months.
The avatar, sitting in the study, was examining documents, looking for something interesting. Recently, the Netherland territory had been in some danger, with strange monsters and demons appearing in the towns.
The town garrisons under her jurisdiction reacted quickly and were generally able to handle the situation. However, the situation was not so good in the territories of some lords. After the demons and devils learned where they were, they chose to launch a one-shot attack, killing some people and immediately fleeing the scene to the deep mountains and forests, waiting to return to the abyss.
While browsing the information, Maginus suddenly raised an eyebrow. On the paper in front of her was a drawing of a peculiar monster. According to the report, this monster was intelligent and did not show any desire to fight. It waved its hand and gestured to the person who found it not to make a move, as it was a law-abiding citizen.
The spider-like monster had a long, flexible neck and an eel-like head with tiny, needle-like fangs.
Its body is covered in stiff fur dyed with intricate patterns, and it is equipped with lightweight leather straps for carrying small packages and weapons. Its small, dark eyes gleam with intelligence and cunning.
The package and weapons didn't seem to belong to the continent of Knoil; they possessed a highly technological feel and at first glance, they definitely looked like savage monsters. However, the well-traveled Maginus recognized them—they were likely intelligent beings called Nyugi, or perhaps even "aliens."
Similar to the Gith Yankees, they are space pirates who make a living by robbing and pillaging. Sometimes, when they encounter powerful forces, they will disguise themselves as merchants to trade, and they have a lot of good stuff.
But why is there only one person here? Did the spaceship crash?
Maginus scanned the area and found no other Nyugi monsters, only Maginus.
"Have Primia talk to it and ask if it has any special goods. Also, give this to Primia so that he can take it out when he is in danger and show it to the legendary or high-ranking monsters in the Newgi, and tell them about me."
Maginus released the alluring maid from his embrace, handed her a quill pen imbued with a trace of divine power, and the maid, her skirt revealing nothing at the bottom, rose to bow to her master and hurriedly ran out, her face flushed.
Space pirates are also the best interstellar merchants; they have many valuable looted items, including but not limited to alchemical techniques or rare magical items.
Primia, naturally representing the entire nation, negotiated business with them, hoping to acquire stronger weapons to provide greater protection for the city's guards and even the army's soldiers.
Chapter 767 The Deal with the Newgi
Newgi Guligula felt that his luck was very bad.
During its space journey, its interstellar spaceship encountered another spaceship, which was far more powerful than itself. In order to escape its pursuit, it had to make an ultra-long-range space jump.
After the space jump, they arrived at a region that struck fear into the hearts of the entire universe—the origin of everything, the mother planet of the entire universe, the starting point of the divine body.
Konoir.
It would be even more troublesome to come to Conoir, especially during this special period.
As a member of an interstellar civilization and a space pirate, it naturally knew about the recent events. The gods were about to descend upon this place, and the entire planet and its surroundings would become a terrifying battlefield. What right did a high-level sorcerer like it have to stay here?
Originally, it intended to leave quietly, but after making an ultra-long-range space jump, the spaceship had very little energy left. The forced jump damaged the machine, and it would probably take hundreds of years for it to replenish and repair itself.
He couldn't wait that long; he had to go into Conoir to replenish the supplies he needed.
As a Nugget, it didn't want to be exploited by the interstellar port of the wizard town, so it secretly slipped into a small spaceship, intending to enter the continent of Connoir alone, find a place for its slave earth giant to mine, and then secretly bring it back to the large spaceship.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. As it approached the continent on its spaceship, a sudden and terrifying energy storm caused the small spaceship to lose control and eventually crash to the ground.
When it crawled out of the spaceship, severely injured, it encountered a group of soldiers. Before it was injured, it could have controlled these guys with its psychic abilities by waving its hand.
Unfortunately, it was already severely injured and could only pray that the humans it encountered were intelligent and would not judge good or evil based on appearance.
Although it's true that Gulnora is bad.
Fortunately, after so much bad luck, it seemed to have a slight change of fortune. The city guards saw the monster's movements and realized that it was an intelligent being, so they immediately summoned the spellcaster.
The mage communicated with Guligula using his fluent language. Seeing the mage's overjoyed expression, Guligula naturally described himself as an interstellar merchant, which wasn't entirely untrue. However, Guligula wouldn't dare to plunder a civilization with powerful individuals.
The end result was that its death was stopped, but the mage was careful not to heal its injuries and temporarily placed it in the underground cell.
After waiting in the cell for five or six days, Guligula finally saw sunlight shine into the dark cell again. A human, a high-level spellcaster, appeared before it, making it wary. The human's tone and voice still conveyed goodwill.
"Are you the administrator of this town? I am a peace-loving person."
"Nuji monsters, a race of space pirates, occasionally work as merchants..."
Before Newgi could finish speaking, Primia, acting as the negotiator, revealed its identity with a serious expression, directly telling it that its true identity had been exposed, thus gaining the upper hand in the conversation.
"Okay, how can I get treatment and be released?"
Guligula's tone became cunning. Now that its identity had been revealed and it was still alive, it meant that the other side needed it, and at least for the time being, its life was no longer in danger.
“I am here on behalf of my Queen to discuss legitimate business with you. By the way, my name is Primia Astan. If I’m not mistaken, your small spaceship crashed and your large spaceship is stuck outside of Conoil. You must need a lot of energy.”
Primia continued, waving for the guards to open the door and let the priest in to treat it.
"Oh, a deal?"
The pincers representing the Newgi's hand opened and closed, its eyes darting about, seemingly lost in thought. Primia, however, paid no heed and readily produced the token given to her by Maginus:
"Stop thinking about anything else, focus on the transaction, and see what this is. There is a god standing behind me!"
He slammed the quill on the table, and the divine aura he had just infused into it immediately emanated. Guligula's pupils dilated violently. Considering the situation on Conoir, he wisely abandoned all other thoughts and lowered his slightly raised limbs.
If it was lying flat before, now it is crawling on the ground: "Oh, so it is a messenger of the gods. Rest assured, I will not have any other thoughts."
“Very good, Guligula, my friend. Do you have any special cargo on your spaceship? Preferably equipment blueprints, spellbooks or something similar, but you can equip them directly.”
Having made many preparations in advance, Primia saw that it had almost recovered, so she didn't have anyone close the door. Instead, she called the priest of the Temple of Wealth out to talk with Guligula.
"Oh, I can write you a list, but as for the prices..."
"Payment will be made in the form of magic-related items, and the price will be in accordance with the standards of the continent of Knoil."
"Of course, of course."
Primia appeared domineering, which made Newgi even more hesitant to act rashly. The malicious aura emanating from the quill pen was not something a benevolent god could possess, and he was even prepared to suffer a great loss.
"Are you sure... there's no problem? Of course, there's no problem with this price."
Guligula initially thought it was going to be ripped off, but it breathed a sigh of relief after learning the price Primia offered.
The price is neither too high nor too low; in summary, it's a profitable deal, not a loss-making one, making it a win-win situation for both parties.
Primia looked at the list in her hand, focusing her attention on the alchemical weapon blueprints and spellbooks, as well as some rare materials that were difficult for Nesery to obtain, and breathed a sigh of relief.
