The Wind Elemental Lord, transformed into the Wind of Extinction, witnessed the fall of his two companions. He felt no anger, no sorrow, but simply howled away in silence, stirring up a hurricane that permeated the entire dimension.

The Lord of Wind transformed into the purest "flow," a flow that transcends the speed of light, transcends thought, and transcends causality. He sacrificed himself to bypass all enemies, directly traversing Space-Time, heading towards the Immortal Continent, wanting to tear Immortal Continent apart and let these invaders taste the pain of their home being Destruction.

He traversed the Weave, bypassed Angley's Divine Kingdom projection, and was about to touch the edge of the Immortal Continent...

Then the Wind of Extinction collided with the gaze cast by the Magic Pioneer, Dale.

The Magic Pioneer didn't even turn his head, only glancing at it out of the corner of his eye.

In that instant, the concept of the "flow" of the Wind of Extinction was frozen.

He wasn't frozen into an ice block, but rather frozen in the state of "flow." He wanted to move forward, but couldn't; he wanted to move backward, but couldn't; he wanted to disperse, but still couldn't. He was forcibly nailed to the Eternity moment of "flowing" by the Magic Pioneer.

Dale spoke softly, "The wind, cease its flow, return to its very essence of stillness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the Wind Elemental Lord, the Wind of Extinction, began to disintegrate—not shatter, but like mist meeting sunlight, silently, slowly, and irreversibly dissipating.

His final proof of existence was a faint sigh that echoed in the Void for three breaths before fading into complete silence.

In the blink of an eye, only the Earth Elemental Lord remained of the four Elemental Lord.

He gazed at the dust that his three comrades had turned into after the moon's demise. He did not charge, nor roar, but stood silently before the King of Elements, like an insurmountable mountain. His body was formed from the first rock at the birth of the dimension, and he had experienced the birth and Destruction of the universe, and witnessed the formation and collapse of the laws. Before, he did not believe that any power could truly destroy him.

But now that he has witnessed the terrifying power of the Eternal, he no longer has that thought. Nevertheless, the Earth Elemental Lord, who is ready to die for his cause, remains steadfast in his belief that no one can surpass him and kill his king before he dies.

"Mystra, you go and deal with him." A hint of admiration flashed in the Magic Pioneer's eyes as he looked at the Earth Elemental Lord. He had always had a good impression of people with such firm beliefs, but of course, this did not stop the Magic Pioneer from being ruthless.

The Goddess of the Weave nodded, then her form completely merged into the Weave, covering the sky and the earth. Threads of Magical Energy wrapped around it, the dark purple threads cutting into its rocky body. The Spine of Antiquity behind the Earth Elemental Lord trembled, and the threads snapped.

Among the four Elemental Lord, the Earth Elemental Lord is the strongest and the most difficult to deal with. So the God of Wisdom, Angley, also made his move. He lowered a geometric cage, and pieces of the law continent pressed down on the Earth Elemental Lord.

This Earth Elemental Lord, who transformed the earth into his own Sturdiness and Immortal body, caused the Spine of Antiquity to straighten, shattering the continent.

The voice of Mystra, the Goddess of the Weave, chanting magical mysteries resounded throughout the Elemental Dimension.

"Mountains and rivers are gone, the earth has crumbled, sand has settled, and all things have withered."

The voice contained profound power, manipulating the rules of the universe and merging with the Weave. As if words were law, cracks began to appear on the surface of the earth elemental monarch's body.

It wasn't the cracks caused by external forces, but rather the concept of "time" being reintroduced into his body. For the first time, he felt "aging," felt "vulnerability," and felt the fear that "he would eventually return to dust."

The cracks grew deeper and denser, spreading from the epidermis to the muscle, from the muscle to the bone, and from the bone to the core.

The Earth Elemental Lord let out a mournful cry that shook the entire dimension, like a mountain collapsing, like the earth splitting open, like the whole world crumbling.

Then—it shattered gently.

It didn't collapse; it shattered into the finest dust.

Countless specks of dust drifted through the Void, like hazy clouds, each grain reflecting the final, Eternity resentment of the Spine of Antiquity.

Thus, all four Elemental Lord perished under the siege of the powerful forces of the Adrian Federation, leaving only the King of Elements, the Lord of the Boundless, as the sole remaining force of resistance in the entire Elemental Dimension.

The remaining elemental life forms either perish, submit and become the spellcaster's pet spirits, or are captured on a large scale, thrown into cages, and become future spellcasting materials.

The King of Elements witnessed the fall of four Elemental Lord and the tragic end of countless elemental beings. His face appeared expressionless, but his eyes twitched violently, filled with Endless hatred. His negative emotions transformed into a dark, blazing sun, rising slowly from behind him.

A massive, dark purple plane, shaped like an intestine, appeared, cracking open with a huge fissure that emitted a strong suction force, seemingly trying to swallow it whole.

That was the Bottomless Abyss. The Abyss Will instinctively wanted to recruit this King of Elements, to drag him into the Abyss and make him one of the most powerful demons.

Despite the overwhelming negativity, the King of Elements remained steadfast in his beliefs; as a Good and Lawful King of Elements, he would never fall into the Abyss, even in death.

"You will suffer the curse of the elements, and your end will be no good." The voice of the King of Elements slowly faded, filled with certainty, as if he could see that scene in the future.

Then he gripped the Sword of Dimension in his hand, the last of the common petroleum Elemental Dimension, which could be evolved from the power he could command. The seven-colored light on the sword became even more intense because of his sorrow.

With one step, the Chaos Continent crumbled beneath his feet; with the second step, the spatial rift broke behind him; with the third step, he stood before the Magic Pioneer, Dale, the Sword of Dimension slashing down upon him.

This sword strike did not sever Dale, but rather the very concept of "Dale's existence."

The Magic Pioneer raised his hand, pinching the sword blade between two fingers.

His fingers were swirling with the Eternity Law of the elements, blocking out all concepts that could be harmful to him.

The moment the sword touched the finger, the surrounding Void evaporated simultaneously. It wasn't burning, it wasn't an explosion; the concept of "space" was directly erased, revealing a deeper layer of chaos beneath.

"Your Sword of Dimension cannot stop my magic," Dale said softly, his gaze level with the King of Elements before him, showing neither contempt nor mockery, only indifference.

"Your magic, even in my dimension, must abide by my laws!" the King of Elements roared, clenching his left fist and unleashing a powerful punch.

This punch is not energy, but a manifestation of the fundamental law of the dimension of "Elemental Cycle"—fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, light and darkness transform into each other, and the Void encompasses all. All attacks will be digested, absorbed, and transformed into energy to sustain the king's existence by this cycle.

Dale was blasted back three steps, but after three steps, he stood still.

The shattered Space-Time beneath their feet has reformed, becoming even more resilient.

"Elemental Cycle?" the Magic Pioneer murmured. "Then I'll prevent them from cycling."

His right hand clenched suddenly, and the sword he was holding snapped in two.

At the same time, the cycle of laws within the King of Elements suddenly stalled—after fire gave birth to earth, earth refused to give birth to metal; metal could not give birth to water, so water began to flow backward; light and darkness began to negate each other, and the Void began to devour everything.

"You... you changed the start and end points of the cycle?!" the King of Elements roared.

"I've altered the cycle itself," the Magic Pioneer said. "Now, your power is draining you."

The King of Elements looked down and saw his body Dissolution —not destroyed by external forces, but consumed by the backlash of his own out-of-control power. Flames burned through his chest, water washed away his spine, storms tore his limbs apart, and the earth collapsed beneath his feet.

But he did not fall.

He raised his head, his eyes burning with a final madness. "Then let's die together!"

He detonated his Heart of Elements.

It is like the Heart of the Abyss, a supreme entity born from the entire Elemental Dimension, similar to the Primal Divine Soul of the Eternity level, but even more wondrous. Mastering the Heart of Elements allows one to master the complete Eternity level power.

The Heart of Elements can be considered the core of the entire dimension.

The moment it exploded, the Chaos Continent completely evaporated, the remains of the four planes turned into nothingness, the space within tens of millions of miles was torn into fragments, the flow of time was broken into billions of pieces, and the threads of cause and effect became a tangled mess that could not be untangled.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the seven elemental laws went completely out of control, transforming into Iridescent Light of light that Destruction everything and spread in all directions. Wherever the Iridescent Light passed, all existence—matter, energy, space, time, and concepts—was erased, returning to the most primordial nothingness.

The Divine Kingdom of Angley, the God of Wisdom, was swept away, and trillions of geometric shapes collapsed simultaneously. His consciousness was forced to shrink to the core, using his last strength to protect the original core.

Mystra's Weave was torn open with countless tears, and dark purple threads drifted in the Void. She let out a painful scream, and her body was almost torn to pieces.

The Magic Pioneer was equally moved by the King of Elements's final counterattack. He stood at the center of the explosion, facing the Iridescent Light that could devour everything.

The robes were torn to shreds, revealing flowing silver runes on the body; the hair burned in the light, each strand crumbling; the skin cracked, and what gushed from the cracks was not blood, but pure white light of law.

But the Magic Pioneer did not retreat.

He knew that behind him were the powerful forces and troops of the Adrian Federation, and as their leader, he could not back down.

The Magic Pioneer simply raised his right hand, fingers spread, towards the Iridescent Light.

"In the name of the Eternity Elemental Law," he said, his voice drowning out the roar of the explosion, "I define—here, ' Destruction ' is transformed into 'creation'."

The Iridescent Light struck his palm.

Then, it stopped.

It doesn't disappear, it doesn't rebound, but rather it stays in place, like a frozen waterfall, like a painting frozen in time.

The Magic Pioneer's hands trembled, his arms cracked, and his body crumbled, but he did not let go, did not retreat, and did not allow the light to pass him even an inch.

"Turn." He gritted his teeth and spat out the word.

The Iridescent Light began to change.

The colors gradually softened from a Destruction rainbow to a gentler, warmer, and more orderly palette. It stopped devouring everything and began to create—creating new spaces, new times, new laws, and new possibilities.

It transformed from a "rainbow of Destruction" into a "rainbow of creation."

The rainbow of creation swept across the Void, new spaces were forming, new time was flowing, and new laws were being established.

But the King of Elements is nowhere to be seen.

His Heart of Elements has burned out, his consciousness has dissipated, and his existence has vanished into nothingness.

His final gaze fell upon the Magic Pioneer, Dale.

What kind of gaze was that?

Hatred? Resentment? Despair? All of these, and none of them entirely. It was the final, indescribably complex gaze of an ancient will that had existed for billions of years before its demise.

Eventually, that gaze faded away.

Alexstrasza, the King of Elements and the Lord of the Boundless, has fallen.

All the powerful figures from the Adrian Federation breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle is over.

The Void was filled with the remnants of the great war—shattered fragments of laws, the burning remains of monarchs, broken causal lines, and frozen streams of time.

The Magic Pioneer stood in the center of the ruins, covered in blood—not red blood, but silvery-white "blood of the Eternal" flowing with fragments of laws. His body was slowly recovering, but the wounds were too deep, and recovery would take time.

The God of Wisdom, Angley, reopened his Divine Kingdom, this time much smaller and dimmer. His voice rang out. "The dimensional core is now without a master."

Mystra's Weave was also being rewoven, the cracks gradually healing, and the dark purple light returning. She gasped, "It's ready to cover."

Dale nodded.

Mystra took a deep breath—if she could breathe—and then her body began to expand fully.

The Weave regenerates from its shattered state, its threads spreading like vines, each thread seeking a new node. They pierce the newly born space, entwine the newly born time, bind to the newly born laws, and encompass the possibilities of new life.

In the blink of an eye, the Weave covered hundreds of light-years.

In the span of ten breaths, it covered millions of light-years.

And the speed is getting faster and faster.

Ultimately, it completely covered the entire broken Elemental Dimension.

As the last inch of the Elemental Dimension was covered by the Weave, Mystra let out a satisfied sigh. Her true form was now as large as this dimension, with her threads flowing through every inch of space and her imprint shimmering on every law.

"It's done," she said. "The Elemental Dimension is now part of the Weave."

The Magic Pioneer looked around.

The former Elemental Dimension —the four planes, the Chaos Continent, and the Endless Elemental Sea —no longer exist. In their place lies a completely new dimension, covered by the Weave and deeply integrated with the Federation.

Countless points of light float in the Void; these are the seeds of surviving elemental life. Nourished by the Weave, they will regrow, become citizens of the Federation, learn the Federation's magic, and believe in the Federation's Truth.

And those who refused to submit, those who attempted to rebel, those who perished—they no longer exist.

The Magic Pioneer turned around, took a step, and returned to the Immortal Continent.

He still had a lot to do afterward, including cleaning up the mess and refining and purifying the Elemental Dimension a second time. Taking an entire Elemental Dimension into his possession was no easy task. More importantly, he needed to draw power from it to strengthen himself, all of which would take time.

Angley and Mystra followed behind.

The Void returned to calm.

Only the dark purple light of the Weave flows ceaselessly in this realm that once belonged to the King of Elements.

The light covered everything, ruled everything, and erased all traces of its existence.

Only the wind occasionally stirs up a faint sigh—the souls of those from past dimensions, gazing one last time at their vanished home in the Eternity night.

Then, even the sighs were swallowed up by the Weave.

The Elemental Dimension seems to have become a thing of the past.

A huge area has been added to the territory of the Adrian Federation.

But that's all.

At the same time, the battle that took place in the Elemental Dimension ended, marking the end of this Elemental War that erupted around the Elemental Dimension and spread throughout the entire Astral Realm.
