Chapter 710: Chapter 588 Only peace under mutual deterrence is true peace!

Crack… Boom…

Rampant lightning continuously converged in the void, and soon, a downpour accompanied by thunderstorms fell from the sky.

The engineering teams left in the alternate realm gazed at the sky, all very surprised, knowing that since they’d entered the Space-Time Gate, the weather in the alternate realm had never changed, making rain and thunder quite a rare occurrence.

Compared with the ordinary laborers who were looking on as a spectacle, a few Wizard Masters had grim expressions; they sensed traces of magical power within the thunderstorm…

This was not mere thunder but the aftermath of a collision of spells!

Just as they had thought, the skies above the alternate realm had already become a battlefield.

This battle was invisible and intangible, yet just as perilous, even capable of determining the fate of all the beings within this plane.

Areas where space was torn asunder grew more numerous, and even Lynn was unable to provide complete protection. Soon, a faint crack appeared above a forest, and several Flame Demons engulfed in flames flew out from this space-time rift. Yet before they could show their strength, they were torn to shreds by the rampant elements surrounding them.

Similar scenes quickly emerged in other parts of the alternate realm, and at the most dangerous moment, three space-time rifts appeared in the void at once!

Fortunately, this fierce onslaught did not last long. Although there was more than one deity invading the alternate realm, their projected strength was significantly diminished without precise coordinates; coupled with Lynn’s advantage of holding the terrain and complete control over the whole divine domain, he successfully repelled the opponents’ attempts time and time again…

Those reconnaissance soldiers who’d been transported over were also killed the instant they materialized!

After a full ten hours, the increasingly terrifying thunderstorm in the sky finally ceased, and the high-dimensional confrontation came to an end.

Lynn unquestionably emerged victorious, not allowing the enemy to breach the spatial defenses of the alternate realm again.

However, it was clear this did not signify the end. Lynn was aware that, most likely, it was only an initial probe, and the gods from the main world probably wouldn’t give up so easily.

With this in mind, Lynn sent an avatar back to the Eternal Star to relay messages, while his original self had to remain here to guard against another possible invasion.

…

Half an hour later, in the Magic Kingdom, more than forty Wizard Masters who had stayed in the capital entered the recently constructed Magic Tower.

This was the kingdom’s highest conference room. The entire tower was crafted from sturdy Mithril, standing over eight hundred meters tall, piercing the clouds, and also serving as the core of the capital’s defensive Array. The energy supply had been upgraded from the ‘antiquated’ fusion reactor to the council’s newly developed matter-antimatter annihilation device!

Even if the Lord of Death himself were to appear, it would take him considerable effort to completely breach the capital’s defenses.

The interior of the conference room was exceedingly spacious, easily accommodating tens of thousands, with decorations more upscale than the Sky Realm of the Wizard Land from earlier days. What drew everyone’s attention was the conference room’s perimeter, where projections of magical images were split into seventy-five screens.

Displayed were bustling streets, moving crowds, vast wastelands, and solid ramparts.

The interioirs of the kingdom’s seventy-four most important cities, as well as the Moon Outpost. Only Lynn, with his absolute control over the kingdom and the moon, could accomplish such an incredible feat.

Upon entering the conference room, the wizards immediately saw Lynn sitting in the principal seat and hurriedly greeted him respectfully. Even Rafael, who had been promoted to a legendary Wizard, was no exception.

Although Rafael’s rank was, on the surface, equal to Lynn’s, that was only because the council had not yet established a higher position.

Every wizard knew who truly held power in the council; many even privately called Lynn the Magic God to distinguish him from other chairpersons!

Besides those Wizard Masters who had stayed in the capital, all other members had arrived: eight hundred seventy-nine Wizard Masters and nine legendary Wizards!

This was the entire foundation accumulated by the council since defeating the Empire and the Church!

However, most were scattered across the kingdom, and they attended this crucial meeting as Magic Projections. With the power of the magical network, even those far away, millions of miles on the moon, could arrive here instantly!

Once all members had assembled, Lynn did not beat around the bush and briefly summarized the intelligence from the alternate realm.

“So quickly, they aim to launch an invasion?” Harrov frowned, immediately grasping the seriousness of the situation.

While their conquest of the alternate realm was indeed to build a fortress for assaulting the main world, and a confrontation with the gods was anticipated, even the idea of using those gods as a power source for their ships had been considered. Still, they hadn’t expected the enemy to act so swiftly.

“Can we confirm how many there are… no, how many gods are there?” Aurora asked with a grave tone.

“It’s uncertain, but at the very least, there are four gods who have breached the alternate realm’s space!” Lynn said thoughtfully.

“At least four gods…” A sigh of dismay escaped from the gathered members, unmistakably bad news.
