Louis City, outskirts.

A group of ‘Guardians’ surrounded an elderly man as he slowly dismounted from his carriage.

The old man was dressed simply, his clothing adorned with various plant emblems, and wore a wooden crown that radiated a ring of emerald light.

This was the Divine Artifact ‘Nature’s Favor’ bestowed by the ‘Mother of Nature’ to the Natural Church!

It not only greatly improved the physical condition of the wearer but also had the ‘Big Restoration Skill’ every ten days, hailed as a Divine Art that could instantly restore one to their prime as long as they hadn’t died.

It was always held by the Pope, serving as a symbol of ecclesiastical authority.

Now appearing here, the identity of this old man was self-evident, the Pope of the Natural Church—Louis Clyst.

“According to the Oracle of our God, at the correct place and time, a Floating City will appear, a treasure of the ancient Mage civilization…”

Louis began, his voice low yet filled with a convincing strength.

“This is a blessing given to us by God.

We must obtain it!”

The old man’s eyes swept across the crowd.

All the Guardians and high-ranking Bishops devoutly bowed their heads: “Praise Nature!”

A series of faint explosive noises followed.

In the sky, something seemed to burst and scatter into countless shining fragments.

…

“The Natural Church, even the Pope himself has come…”

Within Louis City, in a manor.@@novelbin@@

A dark and silent atmosphere was ever-present, wrapping around, when a discontented voice suddenly echoed, “This is not the Freest Kingdom!”

“And the Church of the God of Knowledge…

They too have forgotten that this is the land sheltered by our lord!”

Along with these words, from the soil outside, numerous arms emerged, pale and with traces of decay.

“Go forth…

servants of Death!”

“The secrets of the ancient Magicians must be obtained by the Death Church alone!”

One after another, figures resembling walking corpses revived from the soil, emanating a stench of decay, and with just a few steps, they vanished into the Void.

They were not ordinary walking corpses but bore the characteristics of the ‘Undead,’ existing between illusion and reality, making them nearly impervious to regular attacks.

This was also the trump card of the Death Church.

…

“Look…

how brilliant and beautiful the starry sky is tonight…”

Su Lu gestured to the heavens.

“Mister Turing, the correct time, and the ancient Magicians…”

Behind him, Varen asked with a conflicted expression, “What exactly is going on?”

“Back then…

the War of the Divine caused the entire continent’s Magic Net to collapse, the Floating Cities to fall to the earth, and the Magicians to nearly perish…

However, one Floating City remained, the ‘Brilliant’!”

Su Lu said with a smile, “By taking refuge in outer space, they gained a respite and developed the ‘Magic Net Energy Core’ technology, essentially a miniaturized, local Magic Net, becoming the new energy core of the Floating City and supporting the Magicians’ spells…

They’ve been seeking the way home, destined to return to this world when the stars shine brightest.”

“Aren’t Magicians supposed to be Apostles?” murmured Varen.

“The pinnacle of ancient civilization’s technology is beyond your imagination.

Of course, it falls far short of this era in terms of propagation…”

Said Su Lu.

Whether it’s Superstring theory or Magic, both require talent.

Steam machinery, on the other hand, can be operated by ordinary people with some training.

In terms of the contrast in numbers, it’s at least ten thousand times greater.

Varen looked up to the sky.

He saw a dark cloud drift by, covering the moon, while many stars twinkled with brilliance.

Meanwhile, above Louis City, the Void subtly began to fluctuate.

The next instant, countless lines twisted and collapsed inward into a point, which then violently exploded into a massive black hole.

From within the black hole, the silhouette of a Floating City burst forth, looking down upon all life from its lofty position!

——The Brilliant!

After many years absent from this world, the crystallization of the mages’ life’s work had finally returned to the Material Realm!

“Is this…

the Material Realm?”

Aboard the Floating City, a row of great mages watched this scene, their eyes moistening.

They were the descendants of the first generation of survivors from the Brilliant.

As time passed, most of the first generation had died of old age, but their belief and hope in ‘returning home’ were passed down through the generations.

“Yes, we have returned!”

The leading legendary magic tutor in a golden robe, ‘Jone’, raised his Magic Wand, “We have not only returned to our homeland but also to those who once harmed us—revenge!”

He looked towards the people behind him, “Have the calculation results come out yet?”

“They have, the rules of the Magic Net in the Material Realm have been completely destroyed.

Once we leave the Floating City to cast spells, our power will be weakened by 53.97%!”

“But…

this world indeed repels the Divine as well, meaning the Divine cannot come here in their true form.

If they descend as an Incarnation, they will be suppressed just the same.”

Two great mages stepped forward and declared loudly.

“I see a brand new nation…

This world no longer belongs to us.”

Another mage, looking down at the city below, let out a sudden sigh.

“As long as we are here, as long as the Floating City is here, the Magic Empire has not perished.

I think this place is quite nice, suitable for us to rebuild our nation.”

Jone declared loudly.

They did not consider the thoughts of the mortals below at all.

After all, in traditional mage thinking, those who don’t understand magic can hardly be considered human.

Only mages truly rule all!

And years of accumulation had given them enough confidence that, with the support of the Floating City, even if a Divine Incarnation descended, they might still be able to fight!

…

Suburbs.

Louis looked at the immense Floating City, his expression ever-changing.

Clearly, the intrusion of such an ancient and powerful force would have a profound impact on the continent’s landscape.

But just then, as if he heard something, he humbly knelt down.

“An Oracle…

the Goddess shall descend her Incarnation!”

Louis stood up, looking at the group of guardians behind him, “Those mages are criminals of history and should not appear on the land again.”

“We shall take everything, including the Floating City!”

…

“Quite bold, mages!”

On the ground, Su Lu watched the scene, also with a sigh.

After all, Ilya originated from mages, and if these mages could recognize reality and stop talking about ‘revenge’, perhaps It might still tolerate them.

But now, these mages, due to technological advancements, had regained their arrogance and even believed that with the Floating City, they could contend with the Divine Incarnation in the Material Realm.

Such an attitude was dangerous, Tacro might not protect them anymore.

‘Perhaps they are similar in quantity…

but the essence of the Divine is not so easily resisted…’

“Have you foreseen something?”

Varen couldn’t help but ask.

“The final brilliance of magic, and the destruction of a group of madmen!”
