Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 218 The World Magic Organizations Unite to Exterminate the Silverwing Ant Queen?
At this moment, the commander of the military magistrates, Ito Musashi, climbed alone to the top of a communications tower, the highest point above the command post that was not yet completely submerged.

The wind whipped his military uniform as he looked down at the sinking city below.
The dazzling lights had long since been extinguished, with only scattered magical glows and burning flames flickering on the dark green water.

The once orderly and bustling streets have been transformed into deadly waterways that devour lives.
Desperate cries and the roar of the tide became the main theme.

The sea spirit pillars continue to devour the water, and the water level continues to rise wildly.

The Silverwing Ant Queen hovered high in the sky, her cold compound eyes overlooking the grand funeral that she and the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast had planned.

She had no interest in those who were trying to find a boat to escape.

She simply watched Ito Musashi quietly.
-
The entire country of Sakura was submerged by sea monsters, and very few people managed to escape.

This news caused a global uproar, and people felt a deep sense of crisis.

The culprit behind this disaster, the Silverwing Ant Queen Emperor, has been thrust into the spotlight.

His numerous crimes were mentioned one by one by the monks:

The Holy City's proud angel of patrol, as powerful as Sariel, fell at her hands!

The massive demon war in Lop Nur, China, was also instigated by her behind the scenes!
Now, she is personally manipulating the Siren Legion, dragging the entire Sakura Kingdom into the abyss!
Slaughtering angels, stirring up the interior, and submerging island nations... These three earth-shattering events span across continents and oceans, with seemingly unrelated goals and vastly different methods.

This powerful space-elemental emperor of the Shurima Empire is shrouded in mystery; what exactly is she plotting?
What purpose lies hidden behind these seemingly chaotic and destructive storms?

Was this her personal intention, or was it arranged by Azir, the desert emperor behind her?
But regardless of who was behind it, the shockwaves from the destruction of the Sakura Kingdom are far beyond what the word "sensational" can describe.

A nation, a country with hundreds of millions of lives, was overwhelmed and completely swallowed up by a horde of demons!

This blatant display of violence shattered all sense of security for human survival, bringing a profound sense of fear.

What's most suffocating is the power this mysterious emperor wields—the space element!

This means that her threat is far-reaching, unhindered by mountains, rivers, lakes, or seas, and ignores any geographical barriers.

Her attacks could theoretically strike suddenly from any corner of the world, with bizarre methods and unpredictable trajectories.

Faced with such a demonic emperor who has been making frequent moves recently, any region could become the next Cherry Blossom Country.

In most places, however, there are simply no decent countermeasures available!

Once she selects her target and descends, the outcome is almost predictable: widespread devastation and countless deaths.

Subsequently, the world's top magic associations held a unified meeting.

The core institutions of the five continental magic associations—the Dubai Mage Tower in Asia, the St. Paul's Cathedral in Europe, the Temple of Liberty in the Americas, the Cape of Good Hope Magic Castle in Africa, and the St. Caesar's Altar in Oceania—all had their highest decision-makers or representatives gathered together via remote magical projection.

Moreover, the Holy City, representing the highest authority of human magic, the Parthenon, which holds the power of life and healing, and the Hunter Alliance, which gathers the world's top demon hunters, all sent their core leaders to join this emergency joint meeting.

"Gentlemen, the Swift Angels of the Holy City have all perished at her hands. How should we respond?" "Passive defense is tantamount to waiting for death! We must take the initiative! Find her before she destroys her next target!"

"Find her? Easier said than done! The Space Empress is as elusive as a ghost. A hasty search would only send our elite troops to be slaughtered. We need a plan, a plan that can force her out of the shadows and limit her spatial abilities!"

The Holy City's envoy's voice was cold and judgmental: "The blood feud of Sariel remains unavenged, and now an entire kingdom has been added to the list of victims! If this villain is not eliminated, where is the Holy City's dignity? Where is the order of the human world? Parthenon, what is your opinion?" His sharp gaze fell on the figure representing the Temple of Life.

The representative of the Parthenon, the Temple Mother, said, “Life is not to be desecrated. Such a large-scale massacre has crossed the line for our gods. We do not advocate war, but the Parthenon will provide necessary protection and support. However… members of the Hunter's Alliance, you are experts in tracking and hunting, do you have any leads?”

In the Hunter Alliance, an old man with a weathered face and hawk-like eyes slowly spoke, his voice hoarse but carrying an undeniable weight: "Space jumps are not entirely without trace, but they are extremely difficult to detect and are fleeting."

"It requires a huge energy node for location and trapping, a top-level space mage to interfere with her abilities... and even more importantly, it needs a 'bait' that will force her to reveal herself."

He looked around the room. "The most important thing is that we don't know her specific purpose. How can we lure her here?"

There was a long silence.

Finally, the holy city broke its silence:
"I propose that we integrate all resources and utilize every feasible means to lock down the Silverwing Ant Queen! We must join forces and find a suitable opportunity—"

"—Defeat her!" an elder interjected, his tone resolute.

"Slay this scoundrel!" roared the representative of the Temple of Liberty.

"End the source of fear!" The Cape Wizard nodded.

The Holy City Messenger, the Priestess of Parthenon, the Grand Master of the Hunter's Alliance, and the representative of the Holy Altar of Oceania all nodded slowly and firmly.

An invisible, chilling atmosphere gathered and simmered in the meeting space.

Final resolution: The global alliance of the highest magical powers will spare no effort to find and create the "opportunity" that can drive the Silverwing Ant Queen Emperor into a corner, and launch an unprecedented war against the emperor!
During the subsequent meeting, a senior mage in charge of intelligence gathering summoned a magical light screen:

"The first appearance of the Silverwing Queen can be traced back to the depths of the yellow sands of the Shurima Empire."

"She did not appear as an independent entity, but as a powerful force of the Shurima Empire, suppressing Pharaoh Khufu's undead empire with overwhelming force! That appearance was the first demonstration of her terrifying power that surpasses that of the ancient undead."

"It appeared for the second time in the heart of China—Lop Nur."

The sorcerer's finger traced across the map. "She instigated yet another war between demons, turning that sea of ​​death into a purgatory."

"Its purpose was probably to help the Shurima Empire expand its territory, and the resulting panic still affects the Chinese Magic Association today."

"She made her third appearance during the undead crisis in the ancient capital of China, where she finally plundered a crucial spatial treasure! However, she did not harm anyone."

"She appeared for the fourth time in Tsurugi Castle in the Sakura Kingdom! There she committed a blasphemous act—she killed Lady Sariel, the Holy City's angel of the night, with absolute power!"

When Sariel's name was mentioned, the Holy City's messenger clenched his fists silently.
