The Alliance's Power

Fran was somewhat bewildered by this answer. She paused for a moment before slowly saying:

"Did it start before we arrived? We're a little sorry, we're a bit late."

Fran assumed that although they were a little late, the Alliance might not have coordinated properly, so they launched an attack before they even arrived.

Although this is the Spirit Realm, the Alliance is still the Alliance. As a notorious group in the Spirit Realm, the fact that its Law Domain is still intact speaks volumes.

Fran believed that the Alliance was capable of breaking through that boundary in a short time, and the time they had been delayed would have been sufficient.

Tristan smiled, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he gestured with his eyes to Philly beside him.

Ophelia's face also showed a rather strange expression, and she slowly said:

"No, it's like this. Although tardiness isn't encouraged within the Alliance, we are quite lenient with our allies."

"We did not take any action before you arrived, but only after you arrived and with your consent did we begin our actions."

"That's how it is. We were just better prepared, so we were faster. Do we need to add anything?"

Fran was silent for a moment before speaking;

"No need, just take us to that realm."

Fran has gained a new understanding of the Alliance's power; perhaps she hasn't yet transitioned from the mindset of the first and second tiers that "no matter what, it takes time to kill someone."

Only now has she realized that, as her Order increases, many things that were once very efficient may now seem far too slow to those at Order.

She felt that spending an hour to conquer that territory would probably be just right.

For those High-Order Mage, this amount of time was far too long, considering it was merely a realm with three Deity.

Let alone a minute, even ten seconds might seem too slow to those High-Order Mage.

After Fran reached a deal with the mages of the Astrology School, she inquired about this matter.

Although the specifics are unknown, it is certain that even the High-Order Mage of the Astrology School attach great importance to this matter.

Given the importance the Alliance places on this operation targeting this region, while they haven't deployed all their High-Order Mage, they have made ample preparations.

But a mage is a mage after all; if he can't be there in person, can't he at least make a spell scroll?

Given the Alliance's highly developed Spell Apparatus system, the speed of this operation seems quite normal.

Fran's only miscalculation was applying her past experience to the power of the Alliance, one of the world's largest powers.

Seemingly pleased with the display of the Alliance's power in front of Fran, the two mages led Fran briskly to a huge device.

The device resembles a giant arc, with the upper part missing, but the lines along the edges seem to connect the device.

At this moment, a texture similar to the surface of water appeared in the middle of this all-black device, and on the surface of the water, a picture was revealed.

What Fran saw inside was an aerial view of a region. If Fran wasn't mistaken, the scene depicted was the territory that the Alliance needed to conquer.

This scene can be roughly divided into three areas, and Fran sees three different Divine Statue in these three areas.

One of them was very familiar to Fran; it was the Divine Statue of the Goddess of Ocean Currents. She had observed the goddess's true appearance using her Star Gazing Art, so she recognized it at a glance.

The other two Divine Statue, if nothing unexpected happens, one is the God of War, a figure carrying a large number of weapons, half-crouching on the ground.

He was wearing thick armor, obscuring his face. Behind him were weapons including spears, giant axes, hammers, and shields... and at the very top was a longsword.

The other Divine Statue was much more complex; Fran could see grass and bushes growing on Divine Statue —real plants.

She saw no cracks on the Divine Statue that allowed the plants to grow, as if the plants were directly attached to the Divine Statue.

These plants almost completely covered the surface of the Divine Statue, leaving only a huge deer head visible. Even the antlers were completely wrapped in green vines, making it impossible to see the original shape.

The details of the Divine Statue can only be vaguely seen through the gaps along the edge of its Divine Statue.

"This is the realm we're going to conquer. By the way, I still don't know what this realm is called. Can you tell me?"

Fran asked the two people in front of her a question, and Tristan slowly turned around and said to Fran:

"The followers of those Deity have occupied this realm for far too long, so they call it the Three-God Domain."

"And in the Alliance's records, we know that this realm was originally called the Ancient Domain."

Why is it called this?

Upon hearing the name of this realm, Fran was completely baffled by it, because according to the name, it should be a realm reflecting ancient times.

But here's the problem: how does this current realm reflect the state of the ' Ancient,' and how should we define the ' Ancient '?

Furthermore, it is questionable whether the functions of the three Deity ' followers were altered after they occupied this realm, as Fran has not seen any records of changes to the functions of the Spirit Realm.

Fran knew nothing about these things, but she didn't ask any further, because she knew that either this information was rare and neither of them knew it.

Either the two of them knew, but this information was clearly sensitive, so Fran didn't ask any further questions.

"Just follow us inside." Olivia glanced back at Fran, waited a moment, and then went straight in.

Fran watched Ophelia's disappearing figure, hesitated slightly, and then asked the Lord of Radiance about the matter.

"No problem, it's just a portal to another realm..."

Fran observed carefully for a moment before leading Una inside, amidst Tristan's somewhat puzzled gaze.

This time, Fran didn't experience the dizziness again; the moment she stepped inside, she felt herself enveloped in darkness.

Seconds later, stone bricks appeared first beneath her feet, then spread rapidly outwards from her body until the entire scene was revealed.

Fran turned her head to look around; this seemed to be the center of the area she had just seen.

Before Fran was a small, one-story building with a hollowed-out interior, serving as an open-air space.

Above this building were small Divine Statue of the three Deity that Fran had seen. They all had their backs to the outside of the building, their fronts facing inward toward Fran, and they seemed to be bowing their heads slightly.

Ophelia was already standing next to a pillar, squinting at Fran, while Tristan only revealed himself a few seconds later.

"Let's go. If we want to become the lord of this realm, we must come to the center of this place."

Fran raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Fran followed Ophelia and pushed open the door, only to see a scene of utter chaos.

If Fran were to describe it, it would be like the chaotic scene after a banquet.

Food scraps of all kinds were scattered on the ground. A long table was placed directly opposite the entrance, with countless chairs haphazardly leaning against it, some of which were even upside down on the table.

Several small vases that were originally used to hold fresh flowers on the table had been knocked over, and the water inside had spilled onto the table, but the flowers had not yet lost their color.

Fran looked at this somewhat strange scene, feeling a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, the Alliance's mages had no reason to set up such a place; this realm was of paramount importance to them, and Fran imagined a group of mages after conquering the realm.

The scene of Banquet here, followed by the arrival of Fran and her group, and their hasty departure, is rather abstract.

Therefore, there is almost only one possibility for the scene before us: it was left behind by the followers of those Deity.

Why did they leave this scene behind? Did they rush out to resist as soon as they heard about the Alliance invasion?

Fran felt that wasn't the case. She only saw this messy scene on the long table, but there was no trace at the door. Generally, people in a hurry would leave some traces when they left, such as trash, but there was nothing here.

Fran recalled the scene she had seen at the portal before entering this realm.

If it were a captured city or village, even if the enemy had surrendered en masse, you should at least see some damaged items.

Moreover, this was the domain of three Deity, Fran did not believe that the believers had not put up a fierce resistance.

However, judging from what Fran saw, all the buildings in the entire realm were perfectly intact, and not a single chair was damaged due to the Alliance's actions.

It was as if the followers of those Deity had vanished from this realm in an instant.

Fran's eyes darted around, and after only a brief pause, she quickly caught up with Ophelia.

They walked down the corridor and pushed open three doors before Fran and the others arrived at their destination.

Before me was a vast, empty hall, with nothing but patterned stone tiles on the floor.

"This is it, you can begin."

Ophelia and Fran walked over and put down the things Fran and Una had left in the hall.

Una looked at Fran with pleading eyes, Fran thought for a moment before realizing that Una probably really didn't know how to become a lord of a realm.

Just as Fran was about to ask the Lord of Radiance for advice, Una suddenly emitted a light...
