Fate's Mockery!
Many years later, a former magician wrote such a book.
"I witnessed the shattering of that great thing, purple cracks covering the heavens and the earth. Was it the wrath of the gods, or the folly of us?"
"I witnessed those Sky City falling one after another, plummeting from tens of thousands of meters into the ground and shattering into pieces in an instant."
"The sky collapsed and the earth caved in, as if it were the end of the world."
"The people who live in the Sky City were once the elite, enjoying the prosperity and luxury brought by magic."
"And all of this came to an end with the fall of Sky City."
"No one on the city wall survived, whether they were top mages or those hailed as geniuses, they were all dead."
"Without the power of the Magic Web, those mages who could move mountains and fill seas have all become ordinary... people."
"Magic once brought us convenience. Magic once allowed us to ascend to the heavens. People back then didn't need to travel. The huge magic gate on the Sky City could lead to any corner of the world."
"Yes, we all know that was the golden age of magic."
"Everything about magic has been pushed to its peak, as if everything is now inseparable from magic."
"Back then, no one ever thought about what would happen if magic disappeared one day?"
"Some people say that day will never come, and I used to naively believe that too."
"But that day came, and it came so quickly that it caught us completely off guard."
"The fall of Sky City also reveals the end of our nation, Babylon, which was at its zenith."
"No one knows where the person who dared to usurp the Magic Web went in the end, but our great Goddess of Magic, Mystra, is trapped in endless self-blame and regret."
"Of course, magic has always been something we longed for, but now it fills the living with fear."
In the 530th year of the world calendar, the war is still not over.
Or rather, it should have ended in 500 years.
However, the collapse of the Magic Web meant that the war, which should have ended, did not end as scheduled.
That year, Meng Qing abandoned everything on the front lines and rushed back to Babylon, only to find endless ruins.
At that moment, his heart, like the falling Sky City, plummeted to its lowest point.
Mystra looked at the shocked Meng Qing, speechless with self-reproach, "I'm sorry... I failed to protect the Magic Web, it's all my fault..."
"Sorry..."
Meng Qing knelt on the ground; it was over.
The fruits of 500 years of painstaking effort were reduced to nothing in an instant.
The mask slipped off Meng Qing's face, and he shakily raised his right hand.
Where is the crown?
The two kings died with the fall of Sky City, so what about the crown?
Mystra paused for a moment, "I'm sorry, I... I haven't had time to go look for it yet..."
Meng Qing gritted his teeth and said, "We're not out yet, which means the crown hasn't been taken away by anyone else. Let's go and get the crown back!"
Mystra: "But... there's no one here."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qing slowly closed his eyes, suppressing all his negative emotions and constantly telling himself to stay calm.
"There are still people... there must be still people."
"I'll go find it."
Meng Qing clenched his fists. It was so close! Chaos was about to lose! They were about to win!
Why now of all times!
Even if the collapse of the Magic Web were delayed by just one day!
Is this also fate?
"Hehe... I can't see my own fate at all, hahaha, fate has played a cruel trick on me..."
Back to the present, it is year 530 in the world calendar.
With Meng Qing's withdrawal from the front lines and the collapse of the Magic Web, the situation on the front lines has been completely reversed.
Although Chaos suffered heavy losses under Long Chen's leadership, with almost 90% of the artifacts destroyed, the Dragon Martial Front also experienced the same situation as Babylon.
All the sky fortresses collapsed. 009 wanted to press his advantage, but when he realized that his side had also suffered heavy casualties, he gave up on pursuing them immediately.
Chaos returned to recuperate, and the two sides maintained a truce for a mere ten years.
Just ten years later, 009 returned.
This time, he launched a full-scale attack without holding back, and with an almost unstoppable momentum, he conquered a quarter of the Longwu Empire's territory.
The opponent's sequence is too long.
Even 004's Black Goat Fetus couldn't stop him after 009 personally intervened.
Then, in the year 555 of the world calendar, another opportunity arose.
An angel has arrived.
Just as 009 was gaining power and becoming arrogant, Angel Mo came to 009 and proposed an alliance.
The collapse of the Magic Web dealt a heavy blow to the painter, Kalen, and Balroza.
The magical barrier that had been a thorn in Mo's side disappeared, their country fell, and the stalemate that had plagued Mo was broken.
The three used all their skills in a desperate battle against Mo Shu, and in the end Balroza was the first to fall.
The painter was defeated by Chen Yuan's Heart Spirit power and became the second victim.
Then came Kalen, who disappeared.
Just like 007 disappeared, even the crown vanished without a trace.
After searching in vain, Mo finally chose to give up.
His and Li Yuan's plan has reached its final stage, and now Mo has a full six crowns at his disposal.
One of the crowns will be reserved for the 009 alliance.
The remaining five crowns have several candidates: Titan, Divine Revelation, Elf, Insects, and 001.
Chen Yuan, the Heart Spirit, has already formed an alliance with Mo, so there's no need to say more. But as for Pandora, Mo never intended to form an alliance with her.
Although she works very well.
Upon arriving in front of 009, Mo simply explained his purpose.
He offered a crown to form an alliance with 009, but 009 immediately brandished the God-Slaying Spear and pointed it at him.
"What makes you think you can ally with me?"
Mo's expression remained calm. "Form an alliance with me, and you will be victorious."
009 sneered, "That's incredibly arrogant. I can still win without allying with you."
"You too, and Li Yuan too, I will not accept your proposal."
Mo's expression remained calm. "Is that so? People are indeed more driven by emotion than reason. Well, that's an expected result."
"So, Lin Feng is one of yours, right?"
Do you care about his life?
Lin Feng?
009 frowned, and saw Lin Feng walk out from behind Mo.
He has already formed the Crown Alliance with Mo. If 009 still recognizes him as a member of the Chaos Splitter, then he should form an alliance with Lin Feng.
In other words, it's about forming an alliance with 009 in a roundabout way.
If 009 disagrees, then he will form an alliance with the people around him, which is also part of the plan.
Looking at Lin Feng, 009 hesitated for a moment, "Are you planning to... threaten me with his life?"
Mo sneered, "Then I must be really bored. Lin Feng, why don't you talk to him?"
Lin Feng came to 009's side and whispered something to her.
Upon hearing this, 009 fell into deep thought. After a brief period of consideration, he suddenly led Nairasojin and the others to retreat.
He said nothing, and Lin Feng followed him away.
Watching them leave, Mo reached out and patted Pandora on the head. "Looks like the deal didn't go through. Well then, Pandora, could you please go and kill them all?"
Pandora paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Okay, okay..."
