The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Maginus goes without saying; before becoming a true god, the Sleeper was a mortal and had an entire adventure team to fight monsters with him.

The massacre of death-related gods on the continent was noticed by other gods, and those below the level of true gods were naturally alarmed, fearing that their fellow gods would do the same.

Those who were not very confident in their own strength chose to hide, while those who were somewhat confident began to hunt down gods of the same kind. As for the true gods, most of them did not make a move immediately.

Unlike the Sleepers and Maginus, the Ks, as true gods, have mortal enemies who are also true gods. If they are injured while targeting a fellow god, those mortal enemies will definitely come forward to attack.

As for those two gods, killing and fear are dead. In this prime material universe, Maginus and the Sleeper are not true mortal enemies.

Chapter 779 The First Wave of Offensive

She can talk to many people, including the Lady of the Night, the Spider Queen, and others who have caused her trouble or been troubled by her.

Since the Ks don't come looking for her or take action against anyone connected to her, Maginus naturally won't go looking for the Ks either.

The Sleepers are similar. Undead creatures have no true gods in this world. They only need to deal with all the otherworldly gods that enter them, and before and after their death, they will be completely controlled by two at least neutral gods.

While busy hunting down death-related gods, Maginus also focused some of his attention on the territory of Nesery. Not only did the cracks in the sky that attracted the gods suddenly collapse, but more spatial rifts also appeared in the territory of Nesery.

A fire suddenly broke out in the forest not far from White Dove City. The city guards dared not delay and dispatched adventurers and city guards. They also instructed the spellcaster to immediately send a message to the nearest army and report the incident up the chain of command through the crystal plate.

The capital city of Dover, at the heart of the kingdom, learned the details of the fire about an hour later. Disasters struck one after another. Even though they had been aware of what might happen in advance, the leadership of the unifiers was still taken aback by these frequent calamities.

Fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes—creatures from the four primary elemental planes of fire, water, earth, and air descended, causing severe impacts even without actively engaging in large-scale destruction.

Whether in desolate wilderness or bustling city, the shadows of creatures from the lower realms and undead have appeared. They have begun to wreak havoc in the city, but fortunately, so far their numbers are small and their strength is weak.

"Quickly, disperse the crowd and suppress these monsters!"

Thanks to Maginus's deployment of trained soldiers to various cities, the city guards' "exorcism squads" captains and vice-captains, along with city guards who were somewhat afraid of creatures from the lower realm, carried out their encirclement and search in a relatively orderly manner.

Even after numerous evacuation drills, the civilians were still terrified when they actually encountered such a situation. However, the evacuation drills were somewhat effective; instead of going home or wandering aimlessly in the streets, they rushed to the nearest temple or guild.

Whether it's benevolent deities or neutral churches that can appear in the open, they have all begun to consciously gather these residents. In the eyes of deities who have lost their divine power, they are all precious "human batteries," at least for now.

After the adventurers received the quest from the city garrison, they began to mobilize. In addition to the materials that monsters would drop, the Netherworld officials stated that each Nether creature had a corresponding price, and as long as you gave them their heads, you could make money.

The terrorist incident in Nesserre City was brought under control, lasting from one hour to two days. Although the casualties were still high, it was far better than some other poorly prepared countries.

The situations of those lords varied in their own way, but even the best outcome was not as good as that of the most severely affected directly controlled towns.

It wasn't just Nesser that suffered; all the countries encountered the same thing. Some were caught off guard and their upper levels were taken over by succubi, lustful demons, assassins, and other cunning creatures from the lower realms. Others were liches who took the opportunity to defeat the city's garrison and turn the town into their own stronghold.

The places that suffered the least damage were major countries and towns with main temples of gods, regions with small populations, and wilderness areas with fierce local customs.

As for the wilderness outside the cities of Nesser, the army had already begun its operations.

It would take an hour for Dovley to receive the message, and at least thirty minutes for the order to be issued. An hour and a half could determine the life or death of many people.

Before issuing orders, the army, which had received multiple "permissions to launch attacks" from Maginus, received relevant intelligence within two or three minutes after various disasters occurred.

Fortunately, their superior was a god. The generals were not worried at all that their actions would arouse the Queen's suspicion. They immediately dispatched troops to provide disaster relief and appeared in a grand procession at the location of the disaster.

"Quickly, spellcasters, use rain and fossilized mud to dig a firebreak! Druid squad! When are you going to finish manipulating the weather?!"

"It will take another thirty minutes. Don't rush us. We are just low-level druids. Casting such high-level spells requires a lot of materials and rituals."

The army commander was giving orders in a hurry, and the six-man druid squad that had been put into the army was also in a hurry. Looking at the raging fire in front of them and the roaring fire elementals in it, they finally understood why they had been put into the army in advance for training.

After taking out a large amount of materials, the druids began casting spells. Sensing the convergence of water element and magic, the fire elemental creatures, which had been aimlessly wandering and venting their power in the forest, immediately shifted their attention, roared and called to their friends, and began to attack the isolation zone.

The ditch was already full of water. Pure fire elements disappeared immediately upon stepping into the water. Seeing this, they stopped and drove some half-fire element creatures, or creatures with other substances in their bodies, into the water. Those that could fly floated over.

Large amounts of steam rose, and in the mist, they began to consciously cross the canal, roaring at the guards. They were not afraid, and at the same time shouted to embolden themselves, charging towards the monsters.

Fire elemental creatures are the most dangerous, while other elemental creatures are more likely to cause serious accompanying disasters. The guards demarcated the affected areas and began to gradually clean up and reorganize the demarcated areas.

Faced with the crisis, all of Maginus's preparations came in handy, reducing the scope and intensity of the disaster to a very low level and minimizing casualties.

Even so, people continued to die. Maginus led his followers into the Kingdom of God, and the believers automatically left the Prime Material Plane.

As the goddess of death, K and the gods beside her, who are also the gods of the dead, exude increasingly stronger auras of power as the number of deaths increases, and their divine power is also rapidly accumulating.

It must be said that some gods do recover very quickly in a state of chaos.

“By the way, Wangmo,” the Sleeper suddenly said while chasing down other death-type demigods, “if possible, could you please take care of the Goddess of Magic for me?”

Speaking of which, did the Sleeper and the current Goddess of Magic have a love story when they were mortals in other worlds?

However, for now, the two seem to be in a somewhat awkward situation. In the war of the saints, the Sleeper cannot abandon his duties to save his old flame. Many undead creatures and the souls of the dead need to be dealt with by K.

Between feelings and responsibilities, responsibilities naturally take precedence; that's an obligation that K must fulfill.

"Okay, after all, if K dies, it will cause a riot in the magic network, which is not conducive to stability. I will handle it. But is there a way to find her?"

Maginus immediately nodded and reached out to the Sleeper for the tools to find the goddess.

Chapter 780 The Inevitable Recovery

As the center of the state, Dover has been incredibly busy these past few days, with all officials and nobles issuing orders, and the central departments comprised of the most important members.

General Joseph, representative of the new nobility Ronfield, treasurer Primia Astan, intelligence officer Mia, Queen Lenia...

There were more than ten people scattered around. All the important matters were discussed in the meeting hall before being resolved. Without Maginus's leadership, they had to handle all affairs on their own.

The orders were passed down through the ranks, and Dover was in perfect order, unaffected by any disasters. The main territories of the other gods were in much the same state, and the influence of the Ks could reach at least an entire town.

While everything seemed perfect, something strange was unfolding.

thump thump thump thump thump

In an underground temple shrouded in mystery, completely buried in soil, and entangled by tree roots, a withered heart begins to beat in a box hidden at the deepest part of the temple, attempting to emanate magic and divine aura to attract other living beings and take it away.

Unfortunately, there were no sufficiently powerful living creatures inside the temple, only earthworms, ants, and other insects, as well as huge tree roots. Although they could be affected and undergo mutations and evolution, they could never develop high-level memories.

This means they can't open the box filled with magical seals. Instead, the tree roots will be attracted and completely entangle the wooden box, blocking the surrounding area and preventing anyone from entering.

If the heart were conscious, it could try to control tree roots and insects to lift itself out of the soil, but unfortunately, there are no "ifs".

The peculiar fluctuations continued to spread, the magic extending outwards only to be completely eliminated by the illusion lock. Only the divine connection continued to extend outwards, attempting to find the killing gods, grant them power and guidance, and continue to slaughter each other.

After the strongest one is born, he will come to the temple to become a sacrifice for revival. His shattered will will be reassembled, allowing the God of Slaughter to reappear in the world.

However, the first people they contacted were not the Child of Slaughter, but Melu and Mira, who had been given a wisp of the divinity of death.

The two bishops and chief priests suddenly stopped talking, stood up, solemnly looked down at the cemetery, told the others to continue the meeting, and returned to the church to kneel and pray to Maginus.

My lord, there is unusual activity in the temple of the God of Slaughter.

I understand. Strengthen security in the vicinity and prevent anyone from digging into the underground church.

Maginus opened her eyes and looked at the sleeper beside her. K seemed to realize what Maginus was about to say and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, I should have said it before, I will help you at the most critical moment."

"That's fine"

Grasping the scepter at the top, which resembles a mace, he pulled out the sword by gripping the hilt in his other hand. As the incantations on the sword flashed, an intense sense of oppression spread outwards. The rat-like false god, who was fleeing at high speed even faster than the two true gods, was completely frozen in place at this moment.

In a mere instant, the scythe cleaved away the false god, scattering it into clones that resembled the original body. Behind each clone, a cloaked figure holding a scythe aloft appeared.

The "only" false god had excellent escape skills, but unfortunately encountered Maginus, who could hunt him down, and the Sleeper, who could lock onto souls.

Judging from their current killing speed, they should be able to clear out all the invading non-true gods of the death element in just two more days.

Of course, they didn't eliminate them all. The two Ks could naturally see the alignment of the opposing gods. As long as they were neutral and leaned towards good, the Ks would show mercy and order these minor gods to leave quickly.

As for subordinate gods, neither the Sleeper nor Maginus are needed at the moment, and neither are the two Ks.

"Ahhhhh!!"

As dusk fell, a maid from a wealthy family screamed as she entered the market to buy groceries. She stared in horror at the ground covered in blood and corpses. The massacre of an entire family had spread throughout the city. Soldiers entered the noble's gate to investigate and found that only one young master had disappeared.

The God of Slaughter connected with both awakened and unawakened sons of the God of Slaughter, making them more aggressive and dangerous. The God of Slaughter had made preparations beforehand; with the approach of the War of the Saints, he had only one requirement for his offspring.

They fought each other to determine the victor.

A point of light, symbolizing the killing of the divine children, appeared in their minds. As long as they followed the guidance to find their past, they could find their blood relatives. Under the encouragement of divinity, most of the divine children, who were originally relatively stable, began to become ruthless, cruel, and extremely tyrannical.

They had only one thought given to them by the divinity: to gain power through killing and to draw closer to their blood relatives.

Because the Temple of Slaughter was suppressed, the Slaughter God's Son didn't actually grow stronger that quickly. After all, his magic power and various accumulated energies were blocked. The Fear God's Son was even more difficult to deal with.

At the bottom of a deep, unknown canyon, a nearly destroyed wilderness temple stands. Beneath the inconspicuous paving stones, a decaying brain begins to revive with the tides of magic.

The magic and accumulated faith power spread outwards, and the hidden fear children were invigorated, feeling the power of the Father God surging into their bodies. Tattoos symbolizing fear and tyranny emerged, radiating a dazzling light, before disappearing again.

Compared to the violent god of slaughter, the god of fear's methods are more subtle and insidious. Instead of immediately causing forced emotional fluctuations in the children of the gods, the god subtly instills in them a desire for power and authority, a fear of others, and an excitement for creating tyranny.

Everything is for the sake of stability. The God of Fear does not need to fight to the death like the God of Slaughter. This is where the God of Fear is stronger than the God of Slaughter. When K quietly revives through the strongest god, he will still have a large number of offspring and subordinates to serve him.

However, when K released his power outward, Maginus also felt the fluctuation and the slight tremor of the domain, as if it were a reminder of the resurgence of some enemies.

K didn't immediately pay attention, confirming the approximate location from which the fluctuations originated, and continued hunting fellow gods with the Sleepers.

Maginus understood very well that first and foremost, her own strength was more important, and secondly, of the two—fear and slaughter—fear was the one that needed to be dealt with first, since the main temple of slaughter was located below.

Once everything settles down, the two gods who couldn't be revived in the war of the saints will have no chance in the future, and the gods who have a good relationship with him will help him when necessary.

As for when it would end, Maginus looked up at the crack in the sky, which all the gods could see was being mended, the widest crack symbolizing the reorganization of rules and domains.

Two years, a full two years, before the war of the saints comes to an end. It sounds short, but it is actually too long for the entire continent.

Chapter 781 The Power to Kill

"Is that all? No true god came."

Five days passed, and Maginus clenched his fist with some regret. So far, the Ks had killed a total of twenty-two death gods.

Over the past five days, many areas have suffered from disasters caused by otherworldly gods, the most prominent manifestation of which is death. The aura emitted by the Ks caused plants to die and the ground to become barren. In order to evade the pursuit of the two, they took the initiative to attack the living things around them.

The Ks killed a great many animals, insects, and intelligent beings. Many died instantly without even knowing what was happening, and some even became immortal and biological, turning into zombies or similar creatures, while their souls were taken away by the false gods.

It must be said that the battle between the dead was extremely terrifying, leaving the entire continent in ruins. Other gods in the region dared not come out at this time, as Maginus and the Sleepers were not to be trifled with.

Next, the work of Maginus, the true god of death, and the Sleepers is not yet completely finished. They still need to work together to restore those things that died suddenly to normal.

Theoretically, this is also the work of the Life God system, but we don't care about that now. The two of them have become much stronger because of hunting down others. Stealing divine power after killing gods is something that only the Death and War systems can do, and it can be considered the privilege of the two of them.

Other gods are still in the accumulation phase and cannot recover as quickly as Maginus.

"It's not worth coming here for the sake of a universe's faith. After all, we can easily plunder each other's power. If it's not necessary, remember not to easily clash with other deaths."

"of course."

Maginus nodded and returned to his palace with the Sleeper. Ignoring the commotion underground, he closed his eyes and connected with his idol, switching to a God's-eye view, his gaze instantly rising to above the entire planet.

The area ravaged by death was filled with negative energy, and zombies were wandering around. But in the next second, the main temple of the Church of Sleeping erupted with powerful energy, as did other temples near the disaster area.

The power of faith permeated the negative energy area, sweeping away all the negative energy. The soul core that had drifted to the River Styx was easily pulled back and floated behind its original body.

The enormous shadow of the scythe-clad black robe appeared for a moment, then completely dissipated. The soul was dragged out from behind the body, and now it was Maginus's turn to take action "before death."

By drawing upon the power of faith and divine power, Maginus felt his own divine power surge, restoring the bodies of those unclaimed souls to normal. The negative energy and remnants of souls within the bodies of the undead were expelled, and the decaying bodies were reshaped.

Those souls found a new home and immediately entered the body. The brains functioned, the hearts beat, and after warming up, they reconnected, and the dilated pupils became bright again.

The animals shook their heads as they got up, seemingly oblivious to what had happened, while the plants remained lush and vibrant, as if nothing had occurred.

The black and red shadows that stretched out two jade hands flashed by and disappeared. The dead people seemed to have had a nightmare. Some of them looked at their bodies that had moved from their original positions and began to doubt that the dream might be real.

Having resurrected so many mortals in one go, Maginus clenched his fist and realized that his consumption was not actually high. After killing so many false gods and gaining a lot of divinity and divine power, K had made great progress on the path to godhood.

For a newly born god like K, the War of the Saints was both dangerous and full of opportunities. For instance, after this experience, K gained a new yet familiar role.

The power to kill and seize!

The resurrection of mortals was previously related to the power of killing and taking, which completely reversed death. No matter how long a living being has been dead, and no matter whether the soul is willing to return, they will be dragged back to the material plane.

A miracle was displayed; the power within Maginos was unprecedented. She needed time to adapt to this new power, and abilities related to death were automatically emerging as K grew stronger.

Meanwhile, the connection between her and the two divine artifacts located within the divine realm gradually deepened.

Sensing the return of the gods, Mira went up to greet Maginus and immediately returned to the meeting room to communicate with everyone.

“A demon army is gathering in the border area; we must send people to seal the breach immediately.”

"We're short-handed. The nearest troops won't be available for at least four or five days. They're fighting a group of demons. Is there any good way to tie them down?"

“Lead the demons to the devils’ side. They are mortal enemies and will never cooperate. While they are fighting, we will take care of all these damned things.”

"You can try it."

Once the plan was agreed upon, someone immediately sent the message to the army. The Nesery army, which was fighting against the disordered demons, immediately took action upon learning of the demons' movements, pretending to be outmatched and beginning an orderly retreat.

The dim-witted demons, clearly not led by the more intelligent succubi, immediately launched a furious pursuit, seemingly determined not to stop until they had killed the entire army.

The two groups of people crossed mountains and valleys, and in less than a day they approached the demon army. The flying little demons, acting as scouts, naturally saw the human troops and noticed that they looked dejected and defeated. Without looking closely, they excitedly turned back to report to their leader.

The demon who commanded the army was overjoyed. He had brought his army here voluntarily, in order to seize more souls. Since soldiers had come to him, he was naturally happy to take their souls into his possession.
