Sun God Year 2070.
Four years since the Evil Demons descended, larger chaos swept into the Monger World.
The God World and Netherworld had suffered heavy losses, while gaps and passageways started appearing in various planes. Furthermore, the true bodies of many Gods were swept from their respective God Nations and descended into the mortal world.
A truly astonishing era was about to begin!
Although the beginning of any era brought agitation and chaos, it was an even larger catastrophe for the average person of the Main World.
However, opportunity would usually accompany danger!
The descent of the true bodies of the Gods indicated that huge opportunities would subsequently arrive.
Especially the method of Son of Purgatory Jay, further becoming a role model for all the Legends.
Even without sufficient merits, to receive recognition of the world, there was nothing much to it. If you wanted a Godhood, you could entirely plunder it from the True God bodies of those who had descended!
When the Gods descended into the mortal world, they were unable to unleash their full abilities. A Saint was only slightly stronger than a Legend.
If one put in effort setting traps or swarming for the kill, there would not necessarily be no hope!
In any case, it was still more reliable than obtaining the recognition of the world by luck or forcefully entering the God Nations.
For now, many Legends who had stayed hidden in the mortal world were beginning to stir one after another, and the Sons of Purgatory were the outstanding ones among them.
A role model for apotheosis instantly incited them to go crazy. After all, the attraction of the divinity inside their bodies told them that all the Sons of Purgatory would definitely have a final battle!
If their opponents further increased the gap between them, they might later be oppressed and exploited due to their discretion.
Under the threat of death, even a lazy person would put in a determined effort.
At this time, the entire Main World entered a major era where the winds and the clouds surged, and history labelled this year as “The Year of the Descent of the Gods”!
…
The Main World, the Stan Duchy, in the arena.
Splash!
The glow of the magic array dispersed and revealed the isolated outside world.
Originally, the period of time sustained by this legendary magic array should not be this short, but the undulations of the Main World even caused many elemental planes to be stirred and form energy tides, naturally causing it to affected as well.
“Let’s go! Quickly go!”
“Let’s leave this place for somewhere safe!”
Both Grand Duke Stan and Earl Floren looked as if they had just woken up from a dream and immediately roared.
The events that happened today were really too many.
Especially this power of the heavens and the earth, making them deeply feel their own smallness and ridiculousness.
In front of such a heaven collapsing earth shattering crisis, what difference would a grand duke, or a kingdom, or an empire, have from the common man?
When the entire duchy and kingdom were annihilated, what was the point of having more power?
Unfortunately, this revelation came too late.
A dark red glow ripping through the black sky smashed down with an unparalleled momentum.
“Meteor shower?”
Fang Yuan’s pupils contracted as he quickly walked forward to pull the baroness up and then went to the hard ice, rapidly spreading his fighting spirit.
The next moment.
Kaboom!
Horrifying explosions and shockwaves came, and a large meteor shower landed directly on all of Santana.
Continuous explosive sounds rang out in the hundred year old capital of the duchy, like it was experiencing a missile barrage.
Houses were all knocked down left, right, and center. And in the dilapidated walls, only flames were constantly spreading.
The original bustle and noise had instantly turned into a human purgatory!
“This… is the storm caused by the undulations of the God World and the consequences brought about by the descent of the Gods’ true bodies!”
Fang Yuan infused his fighting spirit into a long sword and lightly chopped once. A meteorite instantly split in half and a safe zone appeared.
“The world’s endurance is very strong, but humans are very weak… Just a small world fluctuation is a huge catastrophe for the human nations!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes flickered as he focused on the fiery meteor rain. “This fiery meteor rain is very abnormal. Could… one of the God’s landing points is just within the Stan Duchy?”
…
“Surran.”
Storm Ollie took the initiative to stop and looked at the disaster affecting the entire city. “Our battle seems to be meaningless…”
“I feel that this entire world is going to be undergoing a huge transformation.” Surran put down his long spear and looked at the flames in the city. “This degree of crisis is only the beginning. In this environment, if those nobles still want to plot against each other, that would be overly dumb.”
“Eh… I’m afraid there already aren’t any nobles.” Ollie’s pupils suddenly contracted. “Look.”
Surran was stunned and instantly looked at his surroundings.
As there were a lot of people in the large arena, after enduring a few meteorites, the damage was grave. Broken limbs and debris could be seen everywhere. Many people were sitting on the ground crying, as if they were as good as dead.
Of course, this was not the most important part.
The key was that just now, a meteorite had fallen and coincidentally struck Grand Duke Stan and Earl Floren, who had been desperately escaping for their lives.
“… Grand Duke Stan, how unfortunate…”
Fang Yuan came before the deep crater, similarly with a look of shock.
This large explosion had already caused these two people to simultaneously explode into pieces. Sadly, before their deaths, they had so desperately wished for the other to die, even consuming their raw flesh and blood.
But when they died, their flesh and bones were instead intertwined in mud and unable to be distinguished.
“Well, Ollie, you still want to continue standing on Earl Floren’s side?”
Seeing that there were already no more fiery meteors striking from the skies, Fang Yuan brandished his long sword and calmly looked at the strong Legends in front.
“Of course not. After all, even the earl has already died.”
Ollie shrugged his shoulders.
Although he was bellicose, he was not a fool and would definitely not do something stupid when outnumbered.
At this time, he looked at Fang Yuan in a little surprise. “Such a young Legend is rarely seen.”
He suddenly turned his head and saw the awkward scene of the large number of injured or dead storm warriors. His heart became heavy. “Let’s go home!”
Upon hearing this, these storm warriors, whose eyes were originally deathly still from extreme shock, instantly became a little brighter.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan did not tell them that this crisis was not only present in the Stan Duchy, but was worldwide!
Even their hometowns in the Noether Kingdom, if they were unlucky, would not escape this calamity.
Fang Yuan and Surran sent Ollie off, and his gaze returned to the body of this Spear of Zero. “So, Sir Surran, what is your decision?”
“The reason I acted was because I owed the ruling family a favor, and it has been paid off now…”
Surran shook his head, his old eyes clearly understanding worldly affairs, like he had already guessed Fang Yuan’s next plans. “In addition, Sir Luhn, as a newly ascended Legend, you need to know some common knowledge.”
“I know, it’s the Legend Pact right? It stipulates that Legends cannot casually attack an average person and cause catastrophic deaths and injuries.”
Fang Yuan nodded.
“Since Sir is clear, that’s good.”
Surran nodded and carried his long spear before instantly disappearing into the streets.
“Okay, what’s remaining… is still a huge, awful mess!”
Fang Yuan stretched his body and looked at the lucky survivors and suddenly laughed, revealing snowy white teeth.
…
Seven days later.
Santana, inside the mutilated palace.
“The death of Grand Duke Stan was something we weren’t willing to see, but the duchy can not go a day without a leader. I nominate Princess Amerie as the successor to the position of Grand Duke Stan. Any objections?”
In front of the throne.
Fang Yuan gathered all the remaining nobles and asked in an indisputable voice.
“This…”
These small nobles looked at each other.
They were the fortunate survivors of the catastrophe. When facing fierce fiends and the Legend strength of Fang Yuan, who was strong-willed enough?
Furthermore, Grand Duke Stan’s sons had all died in that catastrophe. If one considered blood relations, it was indeed Princess Amerie who was the closest.
Of course, the male cousins of the grand duke would definitely not agree, but what did this have to do with them?
After all, they were faraway in their fiefs but Fang Yuan was near at hand.
“No objections!”
Thus, when Fang Yuan’s gaze glanced over, they all shook their heads and expressed unwavering approval.
“Very good! Since the noble conference has passed it, I announce that Amerie will succeed the position of grand duke. Send messages to the various regions requesting the nobles of the duchy acknowledge allegiance!”
Fang Yuan placed a crown onto Timo’s head and said, “Furthermore, as the grand duchess is in a coma due to serious injuries, we will temporarily let her husband, Baron Timo, act as regent!”
Timo’s face was muddled and let Fang Yuan appoint at his discretion.
Previously, he and Princess Amerie were both poisoned and had obtained the timely assistance of Pope Garrett, managing to retain their lives when icebound until Fang Yuan saved them.
The only thing that was very unfortunate was that although Timo was successfully saved, Amerie instead became a sleeping beauty.
Yet Grand Duke Stan’s sons were even worse, encountering their demise in the confusion.
It was understandable for the princess to succeed in the situation where the previous successors all perished.
Instead, it was Timo who seemed to have suffered a strong blow and his emotions were in turmoil. Ever since he woke, he became dull and had a sense of total despair.
“Okay, let’s pay our respects, everyone!”
Fang Yuan retreated one step, bent his body, and bowed.
“Regent!”
The nobles below looked at each other and ultimately did not dare to violate the will of a Legend as they bowed.
It’s done!
Seeing this, Fang Yuan laughed silently in his heart.
Although he did not know the previous plans of the Stan Duchy, now the duchy had already fallen into his hands.
Of course, the succession of Amerie was not for the peace of the duchy, but rather for spreading the flames of war!
After all, other than the original baron territories near Santana, perhaps any noble with royal blood would desire the grand duke’s position and not admit to the legitimacy of the princess.
Thus, after this news was released, it was the beginning of a new battle.
However, in Fang Yuan’s views, everything was a shape without soul, and could easily be resolved.
“A duchy is barely sufficient to put to good use… Furthermore, that suspected God…”
A dim look flashed across Fang Yuan’s eyes.
The implication behind that meteor shower was perhaps not that simple.
