Chapter 489: Chapter 218: External Situation, Collision of Planes (Part 2)

"But... the casualties now are already severe enough."

Firina appeared a bit surprised.

"Ms. Kalanis, considering the casualties, this is not the same as the power you control..."

Kalanis’ eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

"Power is what I control; it does not control me."

Even if wielding the authority of a tyrant, so what?

How could it shake her will!

Firina was stunned. The simple words made her feel as if thunder was roaring in her ears.

After pondering for a long time, she deeply bowed to Kalanis.

"I have learned."

After standing up, she spoke softly.

"In recent days, we’ve discovered some clues about the beastmen initiating a war, but we can’t be certain yet."

"If we don’t uncover the true intentions of the beastmen, the price we might pay later could be ten or a hundred times more severe than now."

"Not only could Lorand City fall, but the entire Northern Province might not be preserved, and it might even decay to affect the entire Griffin Kingdom in the end."

"Kind-hearted people are not fit to command an army. If you can’t bear the sacrifices before you, you won’t be able to taste the final fruits of victory."

"In war, the losers will lose everything."

Kalanis was silent for a moment.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"There is, but not yet... If we need you, Ms. Kalanis, please don’t hold back."

"Of course."

Lorand City holds all her memories, and within the city are many companions from the Dragon Breath Mercenary Corps.

She certainly couldn’t just watch the beastmen breach the city!

After Firina left, Kalanis’ gaze became profound.

This Eldest Princess of Lorand City gave her an indescribable sense of mystery.

Even if she had control over authority, she couldn’t discern the source of Firina’s power.

Regaining her composure, she exhaled deeply.

Originally, after taking control of the Faceless Hermitage, she planned to use it as a leverage to completely control Lorand City’s Underworld to conveniently support Weilu City in the future.

Unexpectedly, the war broke out, and it was so prolonged and fierce.

Talking about these things now is meaningless. If they lose the war, the whole city will disappear.

In her thoughts, she turned to a certain direction, her eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"This war isn’t just yours... it’s mine too."

"Tyrant Monarch, I have sensed your presence... when will you appear in the Main Plane?"

Facing a Divine Spirit head-on... it’s indeed something to look forward to.

——

In an unknown plane within the Bottomless Abyss.

The Tyrant Monarch was looking up at the void, his eyes penetrating countless planes, landing above Lorand City.

His authority, his Divine Format, lies in this city!!

He was already prepared, just waiting for the right moment to reclaim his power.

"Your Supreme Majesty, the Divine Abomination imprisoned in the Main Plane has awoken and is currently summoning its former subordinates..."

"The Abyss is becoming even more chaotic under its influence."

"Should we take this opportunity to retrieve Your Excellency’s lost power?"

A twisted black mist behind him emitted a chilling voice.

The Tyrant Monarch did not turn around, his eyes still fixated on the void.

"Soon, very soon! I can sense it, her mastery over the power is becoming more proficient, and the heart of the Main Plane is likely to be drawn to her."

"When the heart emerges, we will act!"

He had long planned to snatch back his power, but during preparations, he discovered the Divine Abomination imprisoned in the Main Plane was stirring.

Those terrifying beings that even the Creator God couldn’t kill would certainly disrupt the entire world.

The Abyss would not be spared either.

As a Divine Spirit who had witnessed the Divine Abomination, he knew better than anyone the horror of those creatures.

It was foreseeable that a cataclysm would ensue from the revival of the Divine Abomination.

At that time, the Gods may fall again on a large scale.

His current power was still too weak; only by regaining full authority could he hope to survive and ascend in the coming chaos.

As long as that human retrieves his lost heart... it would mark the start of his return to peak power!!

——

The turmoil outside did not disturb Lear.

After leading the army away from the wild wolfman’s thicket and exploring for about an hour, the swarm brought back information—a battle was happening ahead between two forces.

The numbers reached four to five thousand!

He was immediately intrigued, speeding up the army’s advance, and twenty minutes later, he saw the chaotic battlefield.

Five to six hundred meters away stood a dense forest of stone pillars, resembling bamboo shoots.

The massive stones inside stood over ten meters high, with a four to five meter gap between them, sprawling across the land, stretching four to five kilometers.

At this moment, outside the stone forest, a group of distinct evil creatures was fiercely attacking the boulders.

They were monsters with a massive eye on top, and octopus-like tentacles for their lower bodies.

They lacked mouths, noses, or eyes, possessing only a large eyeball.

Suspended half a meter above the ground,

they looked extremely bizarre.

Evil Eyes!

One of the signature creatures of the Underworld.

The massive eyeball of the Evil God glowed with a faint blood-red light, then suddenly concentrated into a ray, shooting towards the monoliths.

Crack~

Large areas of rock shattered, and some, incapable of withstanding the ray, collapsed.

More than four battalions of Evil Eyes initiated a Gatling-style barrage.

The boulders in front couldn’t withstand it, continuously destroyed, collapsing and stirring up clouds of dust.

The target of the Evil Eyes was not the boulders, but the stone men within. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

These unique creatures were entirely made of rock, standing over four meters tall, resembling movable blocks of stone.
