Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 262 Stars Weep: The Final Lament of Newt City

The energy storm continues to rage wildly over Newt Harbor.

The four pillars of light on Mount Fashen burned brightly briefly after the sacrifice of two elders of forbidden spells, before being suppressed once again by the ruler of the Atlantic Ocean.

The four phantoms of the heroic spirits struggled to survive the wounds caused by the touch of the starry sea, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Bald Eagle Emperor, doing their utmost to resist the destructive ripples brought by each slight tremor of the Atlantic Dominator.

Each clash exacerbated the already dilapidated ruins of the city below.

In this suffocating stalemate.

A cold, poisonous needle pierced people's eyes.

The distant skyline, in the direction of Washington, D.C.

That once-shining aura, representing the heart of the United States, a radiant glow that never went out even in the darkness, a glow created by the "Star Ring Barrier" shield and the city lights... has gone out.

Moreover, it wasn't that they dimmed one by one; rather, they were brutally shoved into the cold, dark depths of the sea by an invisible, gigantic hand that covered the entire city!
The signal from the magical beacon representing the headquarters of the National Mage Order has disappeared.

The locating light beams symbolizing the Capitol Hill dome have been turned off.

Only at the mouth of the Potomac River remained, the two terrifying figures exuding an aura of destruction—the Abyss Executioner Emperor and the Azure Scale Mermaid Emperor—appeared and disappeared atop the gradually subsiding giant waves, like statues of death standing atop a tomb.

“Washington…the lights of Washington…have gone out…” A member of the Washington Mage Corps who was operating a magic turret clearly saw this scene.

He seemed to have lost his spine; his eyes were vacant, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a sound.

It wasn't fear, but the deathly silence of a home lost...

"No—! My home! My children are still there!" A high-level mage from Washington let out a beast-like wail, trying to break away from the battle, but was held down by his comrades, tears streaming down his face.

"Marshal Sterling! Washington... Washington is gone!" The adjutant cried, his voice trembling.

Field Marshal Sterling, the supreme commander of the American military mages, suddenly swayed.

An unprecedented surge of rage and boundless sorrow swept over him, causing this powerful forbidden spell user to feel a suffocating dizziness.

They rushed to Newt's aid to protect the gateway to America, but little did they know... their own homeland would fall first.

But the enemy before them gave them no time to mourn.

At the core of the "Star Sea," the alien species—the Spirit Sea Rose Emperor—still exudes a despair-inducing pressure.

As the ruler of the Atlantic, she had been absorbing Soraka's starlight energy constantly during this period, and her strength had increased significantly compared to before.

At this moment, the heroic spirits of Mount Fashen were completely suppressed.

Another Lincoln Heroic Spirit was originally dealing with the Zhenhai Spirit Beast Emperor, but faced with the pressure from "Star Sea," he also returned to provide assistance.

Only when the four heroic spirits joined forces with the Bald Eagle Emperor were they barely able to withstand the onslaught of the Atlantic Dominator.

However, the situation on the main battlefield was made even worse!

Lincoln's spirit, with its unique field of order, had been restraining and weakening the world-destroying sea wall erected by the Sea-Suppressing Beast Emperor, relieving immense pressure on the people. His withdrawal now was like removing the last pillar supporting a crumbling building!
Freed from the constraints of the opponent's order field, the Zhenhai Spirit Beast Emperor let out a roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

Its long-accumulated world-destroying sea wall, now unimpeded, accelerated with terrifying power!
Even more deadly, the Silverwing Ant Queen was also assisting, and spatial power was frantically gathering on her sharp forelimbs!

"Spatial Vortex - All Things Return to Nothingness!" Three enormous spatial vortexes instantly opened up in front of her.

It is not for defense, but to guide and accelerate the surging, world-destroying sea wall!
Boom boom boom——!!!!

The World Destroying Sea Wall, amplified by the spatial vortex and its increased speed and destructive power, crashed into the already crumbling frontal defense line, which had lost the protection of Lincoln's heroic spirit!

Despite the desperate resistance of several forbidden spellcasters, lightning, ice, and holy light barriers intertwined to form a final defensive network.

But under the dual impact of the emperor's might—

Click!

boom--! ! !
The defenses have completely collapsed!
The world-destroying seawater, carrying the sea-suppressing spirit beast, mixed with the chaotic energy flow brought about by the silver-winged ant queen tearing through space, roared and broke through the last dam, pouring into the inner city of Newt City, which had just been purified and driven away by the sea monsters by the combined power of the heroic spirits of the God of Magic Mountain and the goddess statue, and was not yet fully repaired!
"Hold on! Block the breach!" The commanders' shouts were drowned out by the chaos.

"Water! Seawater is rushing in!" Desperate cries echoed through the streets.

"The siren! The siren has come in with the water!"

This time, no miracle occurred.

Without the purifying light of the heroic spirits of Mount Fashen and the protective force field of the goddess statue, the fragile defenses of the inner city were no match for the tsunami driven by the power of an emperor.

The seawater spread wildly and devoured every street and every ruin!
Countless abyssal executioners, vortex sirens, and skeletal sea soldiers...

Following the surging seawater, it rushed into every corner of the city!
Wielding sharp claws and bone blades, they frantically destroyed the remaining buildings, searching for and slaughtering any surviving life!
Humanity's defenses were completely breached, divided, and submerged!
The high-ranking mage group suffered heavy casualties and their formation collapsed under the combined attack of the torrent and the sirens.

The high-level mage was exhausted and unable to attend to everything.

Ordinary low-level mages were harvested like weeds!

Screams, explosions, and the roars of sirens... intertwined to create a desperate elegy for Newt City.

The United States' most elite magical forces are withering away at an alarming rate amidst this desperate situation, beset by internal and external troubles and hunted by emperors!
However, what followed was the final straw that broke the camel's back, completely extinguishing all the hopes of the mages present...

hum!
The vast "sea of ​​stars" hanging upside down above Newt City experienced another violent pulsation in its core area without warning!
This pulse was not a prelude to an attack, but rather carried a strange, life-like rhythm.

Suddenly, within the "sea of ​​stars," countless points of starlight began to shed tiny, pale golden rays of light!

As if summoned by some force, these light particles fluttered down, their sheer number and density creating a beautiful and dreamlike "meteor shower" that covered the entire battlefield!
This "meteor shower" did not bring destruction, quite the opposite!

He brought with him a vast breath of life—

"Roar..." The Devouring World Demon Eel Emperor let out a comfortable low groan.

The charred flesh at the site, which had been torn apart by Marshal Sterling's Thunder Spear and burned by the life force of two other forbidden spellcasters, rapidly melted and fell off!
Fresh, dark metallic-looking bone armor is growing and covering the body at a visible rate!
Its injuries were healed by the sudden "meteor shower".
