Ian returned to the palace. Although he had sent a message in advance to let them eat first, all the family members were still waiting for him at the dining table.
"What happened?" His mother asked worriedly. A woman's intuition told her that the situation seemed to be getting out of control.
"Yeah, just tell us if you have anything." Amelia added. In the top battle meeting just now, when Ian suddenly closed her eyes, and then hurriedly abandoned Luna and went straight to the Time-Space Aurors headquarters, she knew that something big must have happened.
Ian was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh and told everything that had just happened and Klonai's warning. He knew that it would be extremely stupid to carry all these burdens that could crush the galaxy on his own. At this moment, he needed the help of his family more than ever.
"Have you not prepared any countermeasures plan in advance for those lingering variants of yours?" Olivia asked with a frown. In her opinion, this group of cross-dimensional variants should be at the bottom of the threat list. She is used to classifying threats first, and then formulating combat plans one by one.
"Of course I have a plan, but I thought we still had a lot of time, so the 'Variant Countermeasure System' was never completed." Ian rubbed his eyebrows, "However, I have now thought of a more permanent solution."
"Will it take long?"
"It won't even take a week."
"In this case, we can focus on dealing with other crises first." Olivia continued to analyze clearly, "The second threat is to completely eliminate Guznader. However, before launching the final strike, we need the cooperation of Luna's Prophecy capabilities to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"Then now, our only blind spot is to find that damn 'Sage Clan'."
"Use Akashic Records directly to check, don't waste time in irrelevant places." Rowena suggested very decisively. Ian nodded, immediately connected his consciousness to Akashic Records, and began to search for the information he needed in the vast database.
However, not long after, his eyes suddenly narrowed. Everyone present was keenly aware of the sudden change in his expression.
"What did you find?" Rowena asked.
"Based on the bottom-level permissions reported by the system... this so-called Sage Clan is actually a registered member of Akashic Records! Although they have only registered access rights to this branch of the universe, as long as they are members," Ian explained through gritted teeth, "According to the highest confidentiality agreement, I have no right to check any of their core information beyond the level!"
"Do we need to contact old man Merlin for help?" Hermione suggested. But Ian shook his head.
"It's so urgent, don't worry about face issues at this time!" Bellatrix scolded in a cold voice. As long as she can help Ian survive this crisis, she is willing to do whatever it takes.
"The reason why I know they are also members is entirely because I borrowed the high-level authority left by Merlin. What's even worse is that I haven't been able to contact that dead old man for a while."
Ian secretly speculated that Merlin's side must also be in dire straits, and it is very likely that they encountered some difficult troubles in the war in a higher dimension.
"We must find another way to find clues about this Sage Clan." Hermione said after thinking for a moment, "I will use all my power and intelligence network in Abyssal Plane to see if I can dig out something."
"You can actually ask Queen Starborn directly." Amelia suddenly interjected, "The history of their clan is extremely ancient, and they did not originally belong to this Cosmic Faith Plane. There may be something recorded in their ancient books."
"This is an extremely wise suggestion." Ian's eyes lit up, "Let's eat first."
The family sat around the dining table for dinner, but the depressing and heavy atmosphere made everyone feel bored. As soon as the dinner ended, Ian immediately sent someone to invite Queen Starborn to come for a secret talk.
He did not receive her in the solemn throne room, but set the location in a pavilion in the royal garden, and had exquisite refreshments prepared.
"My condolences, Your Majesty." The Queen bowed gracefully, her temperament still as noble and elegant as ever.
"Thank you." Ian just nodded slightly. If it were normal times, he would definitely praise the queen's beauty and say a few flirtatious words, but he really is not in the mood now.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Queen Katula was extremely keenly aware of the oppressive aura of His Majesty the Emperor like a volcano about to erupt, so she asked straight to the point.
"Have you heard of 'Sage Clan'?"
"Sage Clan? This name... I seem to have seen it in some extremely ancient books." She frowned slightly and searched quickly in the vast memory bank, "I remembered it. My grandmother once told me some ancient secrets about those extremely ancient and powerful races at the beginning of the universe. She did mention this name."
"Tell me everything you know about them."
"I don't know much, I only know that it is a legendary race with an almost pathological thirst for 'knowledge'. However, in the extremely distant ancient times, they seemed to have had an extremely tragic conflict of laws with Magekind, who was at its peak at the time. Since then, they have completely gone into seclusion, and have never appeared publicly in the universe again during the long years when Magekind ruled the star sea."
"That's all there is to it."
"That's enough." Ian's tight nerves relaxed a little, and then he changed the topic and began to ask about the queen's life in the Empire and Starborn's integration. After all, as the only Eighth Tier bit Arcanist in the Empire besides him, he must give the queen enough respect and win over.
This queen was originally a Eighth Tier spellcaster with extremely terrifying strength, and after fully transforming into Arcane Rune System from the Empire, her combat power experienced an extremely exaggerated surge. Therefore, Ian secretly gave Starborn many extremely generous privileges.
The next day, Luna woke up from her slumber. After learning about the appalling disaster that occurred last night and the subsequent series of crises, she immediately threw herself into the extremely heavy deduction of Prophecy without any complaints. On the day after the seven days of national mourning, she finally completed the ultimate locking of the coordinates of Guznader Divine Kingdom.
Subsequently, Arcane Empire's terrifying state propaganda machine began to operate at full power! On the entire Milky Way Galaxy network, more than 90% of the news pages were occupied by a very inflammatory headline - "Blood debt must be paid with blood! The ultimate battle of revenge against Necromancer Emperor Guznader!"
Three days later, after completely igniting the revenge anger of tens of billions of citizens across the Empire, Ian personally took charge of Netheril Floating City, directly tore apart the crystal wall system of the real universe, and brazenly broke into the [Outer Realm] known as the "Realm of God"!
This is an ultimate dimension filled with extreme darkness. Countless light points exuding the brilliance of various laws are scattered like stars in the endless Void. Every light point is inhabited by a superior god [Divine Kingdom]!
According to the iron law at the bottom of the universe, True God and their Divine Kingdom can never descend to the mortal Material Plane. Therefore, these gods can only interfere with the lower realm through various extremely limited means such as sending down oracles, projecting clones or sending saints to descend.
Under normal circumstances, the upper limit of the strength that a god can exert in the mortal plane, as well as the strength of the clones they can bring down, directly determine the status and dominance of this god in Material Plane.
Ian stood on the command tower of Floating City, looking down coldly at this mysterious Outer Realm. He knew very well that this space, which was completely independent from the material universe, was one of the core guarantees for the gods to rule the world for generations; it was also the true source of their so-called "immortality"!
"In this universe, there has been no real 'fall of gods' for too long. Today, let Arcane Empire break this ridiculous iron law."
Of course the gods will be killed. But this usually only happens in an extremely brutal cross-dimensional god battle, because at that point, even True God has to bite the bullet and let the main body join the battle.
Moreover, top high-level civilizations like Wizarding World have long developed God-Slaying Technology that can forcibly drag these Divine Kingdom out of the Outer Realm extremely roughly and blast them to pieces!
However, even if such extreme means are used, according to the strict definition of the law, it cannot be regarded as truly "killing" these gods. Because as long as there are enough fanatical believers in the mortal world praying day and night, these gods can rely on the anchor of faith to Resurrection from nothingness!
Therefore, for these gods, the so-called [death] is nothing more than falling into an extremely long sleep. As long as the believers have accumulated enough Faith Power, they can once again condense the Self consciousness, the body of a god, and even a complete soul!
Of course, it is extremely difficult for a fallen god to re-Resurrection - especially because the other gods are definitely like sharks smelling blood, rushing to carve up the fallen Godhead in order to plunder a brand new [Authority]!
"The whole army attacks."
Under the precise navigation of Morgana, Netheril Floating City locked the coordinates set by Luna Prophecy extremely domineeringly, and advanced at full speed towards Guznader's real Divine Kingdom body hidden in the depths of darkness!
"Warm up the Tenth Tier position [Void Star-Destroyer Cannon]! At the same time, all main and secondary guns fire, give me a hard blast!" Ian stood on the command tower, staring with extremely cold eyes at the strange square Divine Kingdom suspended in the darkness Void, exuding dim golden light, and gave the final command sternly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Facing the terrifying volleys of hundreds of Ninth Tier main guns, an extremely thick and solid law shield was suddenly built around the Divine Kingdom, blocking this wave of devastating light beams. Then, a roar full of extreme humiliation and fury exploded in the endless darkness Void!
"Arcane Emperor!!!" Guznader's voice was filled with endless resentment.
"What? You can't be so naive as to think that since you caused such a big Carnage incident on my territory, the matter will be settled so lightly, right?" Ian's voice echoed in Void through the amplification magic like Bleach's verdict.
"What on earth do you want to do? Do you have to do something absolutely?!" Guznader roared hysterically, "I have paid an immeasurable price for your damn trick! I have lost hundreds of billions. A fanatical believer, my Godhead is almost shattered, and my rank is about to fall back to Ninth Tier! Isn't this enough to repay the lives of your mere three million ants?!"
"Enough?" Ian seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the universe, and let out a blood-curdling cruel sneer, "With a thing like yours, do you deserve to negotiate with me about the price? Let me show mercy and foretell in advance the tragic end you will face next."
"I will completely seal you with my own hands, and then drag you back to the earth like a dead dog! I will use the most vicious confinement magic to force you to kneel forever in front of the monument engraved with the names of three million victims, and bear the spit of tens of billions of people day and night!"
"This extremely humiliating kneeling ceremony will last for five years! Five years later, I will broadcast it simultaneously to the entire universe! I will vivisect you one by one in a completely transparent laboratory! I will treat this as the most vivid public biological lesson, so that all Empire citizens can take a good look., what kind of disgusting thing is the physiological structure in the body of the so-called superior god! Although you are not the first god who is lucky enough to enjoy this kind of treatment, the idiot Demigod who was dissected by me last time was too weak and did not even have a few decent believers, so he is not worthy of being included in the annals of history."
"After squeezing out the last bit of humiliation from you, I will use your soul, your god's body, and the core Divine Power origin in your body, and throw them into the alchemy furnace to make the ultimate Potions! I will devour your Godhead extremely roughly., seize your proud [Death Authority]! I will also tear your broken Divine Kingdom into pieces and put it under the microscope to study it bit by bit until I find out the most fatal loopholes in the underlying laws of the gods!"
"Finally!" Ian's voice suddenly rose, revealing a terrifying murderous intention that made all the gods tremble, "I will hunt down every remaining believer of yours throughout the universe like a virus, until Kill them all! I want the name 'Guznader', together with the Law of Death you represent, to be completely and cleanly erased from the causal line of this universe forever!"
Inside the Divine Kingdom, Guznader collapsed slumped on his bone throne. What is Shocker is that his appearance at this time has undergone earth-shaking changes. He is no longer the eerie skeleton, but has become a handsome man with bright blond hair and deep blue eyes.
However, no matter how his appearance changes, his lifeless pale complexion and body temperature as cold as ten thousand years of ice silently declare his essence as Bleach.
