Chapter 1 Aftermath

After digesting the benefits of the Mimir Spring, Soren not only gained wisdom, but also clearly found that his thinking had become incredibly meticulous.

Some information that previously required painstaking thought, meticulous analysis, and careful deduction, now hardly needed to be sorted out in his mind. It was as if strands of "thread" consciously strung them together like beads, deducing various reasonable outcomes.

Therefore, no matter how complex the cause-and-effect relationship, as long as there were clues pointing to it, it was certainly taken into consideration. Just like the current ambush by Saint Son Frank.

Although the Dawnbreaker Legion had recently thwarted the plans of those guys from the Celestial Plane, they had exposed too many methods in the battles, and the other side must have grasped a lot of information. For one thing, the enemy must now know that Soren has a God-tier spatial treasure, and also knows that Dawn has a false god who can steal faith, as well as many extremely threatening alchemy techniques...

These things were extremely attractive to those guys in the Celestial Plane.

If Soren himself were a god in the Celestial Plane, he could put aside other things for now, and would never let go of this opportunity to "pick up a bargain."

…

"This guy was severely injured and shouldn't have recovered yet, so he's probably going to use external force."

Listening to Crow Grandfather's warning, Soren immediately had a thought: "Will he summon Titan Heroic Spirits again, or that 'Lord of Grey Mist'..." He now had a thorough understanding of the world, and with the memories he had harvested before, he now had a clear concept of the higher planes like the Celestial Plane.

The descent of a god is not without a price, nor can they use any means at will.

At least, the will of the descending god was greatly restricted by the fragmented laws of this alchemical plane.

Last time, "Frank" summoned the will of a god from the Celestial Plane, but as soon as it came out, it was severely injured by that Transcendent being from the Cyclops clan. Even if he could still fight now, his strength must have been greatly reduced.

Last time, he had Transcendent strength, but now... it was hard to say whether his main body could even exert Ninth-Order combat power. Therefore, if he wanted to find trouble with the Dawnbreaker Legion, he could only resort to external force.

Just as Soren had this thought, a familiar horn sound suddenly rang out in the world again. "Woo... woo... woo..."

Hearing this horn sound that invigorated the soul, he knew that this was the [Gjallarhorn of Doom], the artifact projection again. As soon as the horn sounded, strange phenomena suddenly arose on the sea.

The sea water surged and rolled, gradually condensing into a huge humanoid monster that was getting taller and taller.

The name displayed by the Appraisal was [Titan Sea Giant], an elemental creature formed by the Titan Heroic Spirit manipulating water elements. Soren narrowed his eyes as he looked at it, without any surprise, but rather breathed a sigh of relief, "Only one..."

Last time, "Frank" used the horn to summon the Titan Heroic Spirit legion from the Hell Volcano, in a posture to sweep the plane. As a result, the commotion was so great that it attracted the Dragon Clan, and was beaten back before he could be rampant.

Now this guy has learned his lesson and only summoned one. Naturally, it was also aimed at the Dawnbreaker Legion.

As soon as this water elemental giant, nearly five hundred meters high, appeared, it immediately set off monstrous waves. The majestic power of the water element manipulated the waves to form a huge vortex with a diameter of several kilometers on the sea.

The huge pulling force of the vortex caused the super-giant ship, Eternal Night, to spin in the sea vortex, as if it could capsize at any time, and could not escape at all. The huge pulling force of the vortex caused the super-giant ship, Eternal Night, to spin in the sea vortex, as if it could capsize at any time, and could not escape at all. Although the Dawnbreaker Legion had Tani and his mother, two people who could also control the waves and storms, the sea giant's law control was obviously much higher. The mother and son could not calm the waves even if they joined forces. The Eternal Night was like a wild horse galloping wildly on the sea.

In the communicator, Tani roared hoarsely, "Sailors, control the sails, we... we're riding the waves."

He could only use his superb ship-handling skills to control the ship and prevent it from being swallowed by the sea.

Not only the waves, but also high-level elemental magic was released with every gesture of the sea giant. The sky was full of sea water, like sharp arrows and cannonballs, hitting the ship's hull, making a series of dense explosions.

In the command room, an order was shouted, "Activate the alchemical array to protect the ship!"

On the deck, the Dawnbreaker Legion also launched a counterattack at the first time. The alchemical runes and coating layers on the ship lit up one after another, and hundreds of cannons fired together, the sound of the shelling deafening.

The shells instantly hit the transparent body of the sea giant in the distance and exploded.

The explosion of hundreds of alchemical bombs was extremely loud, enough to flatten mountains.

The upper body of the sea giant was instantly blasted into a cloud of water mist, collapsing into the sea with a crash.

However, before the Dawnbreaker Legion could feel any joy in their hearts, the sea giant, whose body had just been blown off halfway, condensed again, and in a blink of an eye became a perfect sea giant again!

The Titan Heroic Spirit condensed the limbs of water elements, and on the sea, water elements were inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Damage could be replenished immediately. What's more, there was suppression at the law level, which made it impossible for ordinary means to cause any substantial damage to it.

The power of hundreds of cannons was fierce, and the shells were enough to kill a Ninth-Order magic beast at any cost.

But at this moment, it could only slow down the speed of the sea giant approaching the ship, but could not defeat it.

No matter how you looked at it, the situation was very unfavorable for the Dawnbreaker Legion.

What's more, "Frank" chose this timing.

Because at this moment, the high-level combatants in the regiment were still besieging the Hell Black Dragon in the sky and could not spare their hands.

Seeing that the sea giant was controlling the vortex and pulling the Eternal Night closer and closer, at this moment, a calm voice came from the communicator.

It was Mr. Black who issued the order, "Magic Regiments prepare, First Regiment condenses legion art [Elemental Steal], Second Regiment condenses [Absolute Zero] to freeze the sea."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, several sub-regiment leaders responded immediately.

The composure in that tone seemed to reassure everyone.

At the moment when the order was issued, thousands of alchemical arrays lit up on the deck, and a majestic elemental stealing power enveloped the ship.

As soon as that mysterious power appeared, elements were frantically stolen. The rain arrows that had been attacking the ship like cannonballs immediately turned into ordinary raindrops and fell down.

Immediately afterwards, this huge water elemental power that was stolen gathered together, and then was condensed into a chilling white gas by another group of magic-based professionals, and finally gathered on Mr. Black, who was standing in the center of the nine-pointed star formation.

This was a set of combined legion skills.

One side steals elements, and the other side uses elements to condense into cold air.

In an instant, the huge deck was filled with chilling air, as if winter had descended.

The alchemical array shone brightly, and Mr. Black pointed forward, and the sound of ice condensing, "Crack," "Crack," made people's scalps tingle. "Legion Arcana - Absolute Zero."

Looking again, the cold air lingered around his fingers, instantly condensing into an ice spear.

This ice spear had a cold air that seemed to freeze space, and it extended towards the sea giant in the distance at an extremely fast speed.

A bizarre scene was staged.

Wherever the small ice spear passed, the sea water was frozen.

The terrifying cold wave swept away, and the sea giant was forming an elemental shell in its hands. The light blue transparent body suddenly began to turn white, and then became crystal clear.

However, because the main body of the sea giant was condensed from nearly Transcendent elemental power, this cold air did not completely freeze it, but only made its movements slow down.

"Crack", "Crack"...

The sound of ice cracking was everywhere in the air.

It seemed that the two forces were in a stalemate.

With the Titan Sea Giant's actions restricted, it was no longer a threat to the Eternal Night.

…

It was estimated that "Frank" did not expect that the Titan Heroic Spirit, which he had summoned and was considered the top combat power in the alchemical plane, would be restrained by an alchemical adventure group that did not even have a Ninth-Order!

Moreover, he looked at this response with extreme familiarity.

Isn't this the legion art of their Celestial Plane's ten thousand-man magic regiment?

That's right.

This was the Dawnbreaker Legion's ten thousand-man magic regiment!

Having dealt with the Celestial Plane's ten thousand-man magic regiment so many times before, and Soren had stripped so many memories of magic-based legions, how could he not summarize those valuable tactics and experiences and turn them into legion battle formations suitable for alchemists?

Traditional magic-based alchemy can use various battle armors and cursed objects, and its combat power is no weaker than any ten thousand-man magic regiment!

It was just that there were not many traditional magic-based alchemists, and they were used to fighting alone, so there was no perfect legion system.

But now, there was.

Moreover, the Dawnbreaker Legion's combat power was now far from what it used to be. There were more and more high-level mages of Orders 4-6, and they already had the basic conditions to form an advanced legion.

Also, during these days of adventure in the Dragon Kingdom, they had harvested countless ancient equipment, cursed objects, and even alchemy items of the sealed object level. Now the crew members almost all have equipment above gold quality. This could already be regarded as the top legion configuration in the entire alchemical plane, even more luxurious than any ten thousand-man magic regiment that Soren had hunted before!

There were also those magic towers built by those guys in the Celestial Plane in the Moon Strait.

Mages use magic towers to gather magic power and enhance magic power. This point is also applicable to alchemists.

The huge displacement of the Eternal Night itself was suitable for modification and carrying heavy objects. These days, the Dawnbreaker Legion had transformed the ship into a large magic tower, which could be called the mobile fortress of the magic-based legion!

Then there was Mr. Black, a special existence.

The polymath Mr. Black always had the most keen observation of the battle situation, and he could always make the most appropriate judgments at critical moments.

Now that he had drunk from the Spring of Wisdom, his professional abilities had been developed to the extreme.

Meticulous thinking, proficient in tactics, knowledgeable, absolutely rational...

He was also the most suitable person to be the leader of the ten thousand-man magic regiment.

Just like now!

Mr. Black judged at the first time that they could not kill this sea giant, but could only control it.

At present, none of their methods could directly control such a huge elemental monster.

Therefore, facing the sea giant who was almost immortal in the sea, Mr. Black did not choose to directly confront the endless water elements, but chose elemental theft.

Stealing the sea giant's water elemental power, and then condensing his own spells. And the legion spell of [Absolute Zero] was also very special.

In the eyes of alchemists, the temperature of the universe can be as high as hundreds of millions of degrees, but when the temperature drops to one or two hundred degrees, the movement of organisms will gradually stop and become inactive, and even die.

Elements, cells, energy... everything is like this.

The greater the energy consumed by the caster, the lower the temperature reduced by the spell.

[Absolute Zero] had almost no damage to the sea giant, but it could completely solidify the water elements, so that its movement was infinitely slowed down, approaching stillness.

As soon as this legion spell was cast, this peculiar scene appeared on the sea.

The sea water was frozen on a large scale, the Black Dragon pulled the Eternal Night and galloped on the ice, and the closer the sea giant wanted to catch up, the slower its movements became... opening the distance again, chasing again, and slowing down again... the cycle repeated.

As a result, this Titan Heroic Spirit obviously had Ninth-Order or even stronger combat power, but it could not do anything to the Dawnbreaker Legion.

The battle immediately fell into a stalemate, and it seemed that the outcome could not be determined in a short time.

…

In the sky, Soren, who was watching this scene, had no surprise on his face.

From the beginning when this Titan Heroic Spirit appeared, he knew that if there was only one, it would not pose any threat to the Dawnbreaker Legion at all.

Moreover, after they dealt with the Hell Black Dragon, this Titan Heroic Spirit would naturally be nothing to worry about.

It should be the enemy who was anxious.

Obviously, "Frank" also knew this.

Soren muttered in his heart, "This guy doesn't have many tricks to use... If he's still hiding and not showing up, is he going to use the power of the 'Lord of Grey Mist'?"

For a true God-tier, a false god is an excellent tonic. What's more, it was a false god whose consciousness had been severely damaged.

Soren was certain that the injured god's will descending on Frank would definitely not let it go.

Moreover, fighting in a cursed space was much more convenient than fighting outside.

A thought flashed through Soren's mind, and he had already deduced various results.

Since "Frank" dared to attack in person, he must be sure to a certain extent, and the Dawnbreaker Legion would take a great risk if they chose to fight head-on.

But this risk must be faced head-on.

Now that the god's will was severely damaged, it was the best time to deal with Him.

Moreover, "Frank" grew too fast because of his talent. Dealing with him sooner would reduce a great threat.

Thinking of this, Soren continued to burn the soul of this Hell Black Dragon on the dragon's back.

However, what happened next was almost exactly as he had expected.

Seeing that the Titan Heroic Spirit could not do anything to the Dawnbreaker Legion at all, that "Frank" was obviously anxious.

The longer it dragged on, the greater the possibility of Him being exposed.

The most important reason for not showing up for so long was that he had been severely injured last time, and this time he had learned his lesson.

Who knew if there were any other Transcendent beings hiding in this sea area.

At this moment, a warning came from the distant observation post in the communicator, "Everyone be careful, a large amount of black mist is erupting from the Hell Volcano!"

Hearing this, almost everyone in the Dawnbreaker Legion knew what was going to happen.

Because this was not the first time they had experienced such a scene.

The grey mist was the moving cursed space - [Hell Dragon Kingdom].

Seeing this, Soren once again confirmed one thing: "It seems that the god's will doesn't know, or is not sure whether I can freely travel through the cursed space..."

Now what he had to do was to make the best use of the information gap between the two sides and achieve unexpected results.

Therefore, Soren was not in a hurry to act, but was waiting for an opportunity with full confidence.

…

The black mist rolled in, and in a blink of an eye swept across a large area of sea near where the Dawnbreaker Legion was located.

The Eternal Night was caught in the mist before it could escape.

The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, becoming gloomy like hell, and they entered this cursed space again.

However, no one in the Dawnbreaker Legion panicked. Those who should wear gas masks wore gas masks, and those who should fight continued to fight.

The significance of this cursed space was only to control them, and then... it was time for that "Frank" to show up.

Sure enough.

Just after the Dawnbreaker Legion was swept into the cursed space, a golden-haired youth with three eyes suddenly appeared out of thin air in the sky.

He was surrounded by divine light, with the majesty of a superior on his face, as if he were a high-ranking god, looking down coldly at these ant-like humans in front of him, unapproachable.

Soren's warning came from the communicator immediately: "Nine o'clock direction, eight hundred meters above the sea, be careful of the enemy! Don't look directly!"

In fact, he had always known that that guy was hiding there, but he did not have the full confidence to take Him down, so he had waited until now.

"Frank" was not polite.

As soon as he appeared, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the vertical pupil in the center of his eyebrows towards Mr. Black on the Eternal Night.

The beam was extremely fast, instantly piercing the figure who was casting a spell, and it seemed that he wanted to destroy the Dawnbreaker Legion's ten thousand-man magic regiment.

Beheading the leader was the best means.

But how could Mr. Black not notice the appearance of the enemy?

From the beginning, he and Soren had guessed that this guy would appear.

Therefore, the moment the beam pierced the figure, it collapsed, but no blood mist was seen, but a phantom.

A few meters away, Mr. Black teleported to the side, expressionless.

As if he had predicted this attack in advance, he avoided it without any danger.

Mr. Black glanced at the golden-haired youth in the sky again, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

He had already entered the dual-resolve state of [Mind Reading].

…

In the sky, Soren glanced at the decomposed beam of light and felt relieved, "Only less than Ninth-Order level."

It looked powerful, but in fact it mobilized the law level to less than Ninth-Order.

The reason why he could achieve this effect was purely because of his dual-resolve ability of [S-009 - Myriad Manifestations].

As long as this talent can be understood, it can be decomposed.

If a god's will descends on a mortal body, it is indeed an unsolvable existence.

This power can easily kill anyone, including Soren, but it does not mean that he can hit Mr. Black who is now blessed with the "Wisdom" state and dual-resolve [Mind Reading]!

Hit means death, everyone in the Dawnbreaker Legion received a warning.

But that "Frank" would not be interested in some low-level professionals, and the beam of light of Myriad Manifestations was not endless and could be fired.

After firing several beams of light in succession, Mr. Black avoided them perfectly.

This guy then realized that something was wrong with this old man.

However, taking action will inevitably reveal flaws.

Before Frank could think too much, Soren had already discovered something from his attack, and his figure quietly disappeared from the spot.

In his dual-resolve all-knowing eye, this plane no longer had any secrets.

In the few moments when this "Frank" took action, Soren had already seen two special faith fluctuations linked together.

He immediately determined that the god's will descending was now divided into two, one in Frank and the other in the direction of the Hell Volcano.

Without thinking too much, the Hell Volcano must be on the "Lord of Grey Mist".

As Soren, who had fought with false gods many times, how could he not know that there was a necessary condition for the existence of false gods, that is, a spirit object to rely on.

As long as this thing was found, this false god would not be completely killed.

Soren and Pandora had severely injured this Lord of Grey Mist once before, but because they did not find the spirit object, they were not able to completely obliterate it.

Now the opportunity has come.

Soren speculated that the god's will from the Celestial Plane devoured the Lord of Grey Mist's divine power to restore his injuries.

Finding the spirit object will definitely severely damage that god.

The reason why he risked choosing to confront head-on was to wait for this opportunity!
