Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 343 Kindred and Daibei's Cooperation, The Path of Death & Void Symbiosis
The ruins of the holy city and the Parthenon, like frightened birds, fled in disarray to the southern tip of the distant African continent.

They left war-torn Europe far behind.

By this time, the vast European continent had undergone a complete transformation.

The will of the Void Queen Bervise has enveloped every corner of this land.

Her rule was not achieved through the direct occupation of every inch of land, but rather through the absolute barrier that stretched across the border between Europe and Asia, and the Void Swarm network that spread throughout the world, constantly devouring and assimilating all living beings and energy, thus completing her control over Europe.

Rek'Sai, the Void Burrowing Queen, had already completed her hunt.

The once mighty Ice Emperor, a worm that reigned supreme, ultimately could not escape the fate of being torn apart and devoured by her in her underground lair.

Its imperial essence, containing the power of extreme ice and decay, became another rich resource on Rek'Sai's path of evolution. The vast ice plains and frozen lands that it once ruled are now filled with Rek'Sai's winding tunnels and roaring kin, completely transformed into the base of the Void Burrowers.

Cho'Gath, the Void Terror, led an endless array of Void creatures to systematically "cleanse" the remaining demon tribes on the European continent.

Whether it's an ancient tree spirit hiding in a dark forest, a thunderous eagle entrenched deep in the mountains, or a multi-headed sea monster lurking beneath the swamp.

Faced with Kog'Maw's absolute power, they all ultimately vanished into nothingness, becoming a tiny line on its shell or another insignificant increase in its size.

Vel'Koz, the Eye of the Void, plays a supporting and crucial role.

However, the one who reaped the greatest rewards in this Void Cataclysm that swept across Europe was not these Void giants, but the one who controlled the Endgame—Kindred.

Within his invisible death realm, too many powerful souls have already been imprisoned or harvested.

Icelandic icebirds;
Ice Empress, who was recently killed by Rek'Sai;
The many forbidden spellcasters who fell in the Holy City;
And... those two archangels who died in despair or were devoured—Raguel and Uriel.

In the Death Realm, Raguel and Uriel's souls still struggle violently, expressing their resentment and anger, refusing to accept this eternal silence.

Uriel, in particular, became extremely unstable after his soul was tainted by the tyranny of the Void due to Kog'Maw's devouring.

The wolf spirits, with their relentless, ferocious biting and pursuit, constantly eroded their will to resist, tearing apart the savagery remaining in the void and the inherent pride of the angels bit by bit.

Under this endless "education," the light of the souls of the two archangels gradually dimmed and became tamed.

……

The Holy City and the Parthenon—two pillars that once symbolized the glory and order of European magical civilization—have successively "fled".

For the human settlements and small nations still scattered across the European continent, struggling to survive, this is nothing short of the Day of Judgment.

The last glimmer of hope for an organized fight against the Void invasion was completely extinguished.

They had lost all hope of resisting the void and only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

And just as this despair was spreading.

Kindred, who wields the power of the endgame, and Bervis, the Queen of the Void, two beings representing different ultimate fears, have achieved a highly efficient collaboration.

Thus, the creatures of the European continent witnessed a true new scene:

The Void Terror Cho'Gath relentlessly conquers everywhere, crushing all obstacles with its unstoppable devouring power;
Rek'Sai, the Void Burrowing Queen, rampaged through the earth, dragging forests and their inhabitants into the abyss. Their frenzied actions drove countless lives—from the struggling human mages to the equally panicked demon tribes of the European continent—into a truly desperate situation, with no way to retreat!

Just as these dying people are losing consciousness and teetering on the edge of life and death, a figure that sends chills down their spines will always vaguely appear in their vision.

At this moment, Kindred will not immediately harvest souls.

Instead, he would offer the deceased two choices in a whisper that resonated directly in their soul:

The first choice is to "accept fate," let go of all obsessions and resistance, and follow his guidance into the Death Realm.

The second option is to "Merge Void Worms".

They were promised that if they were willing to open their bodies and minds to the void and accept the symbiosis of the void worms, the strange creation from another world would immediately begin to repair their damaged bodies and allow them to continue to "live".

However, this would mean that they would become a node in the Void Network, a path leading to an unknown and alienated Void symbiosis.

Some individuals who considered themselves to be of high moral character and firm in their beliefs during their lifetime may have scorned and disdained beings from the void.

However, when they truly found themselves on the edge of life and death, feeling the pain of life rapidly slipping away and the immense fear of complete annihilation, a significant portion of their will... wavered.

The natural fear of death, the instinctive desire for the continuation of life, and even some fantasies began to erode their former "nobility" and "principles".

Is it better to maintain the "purity" of the soul and face annihilation, or to embrace alienation in exchange for a chance to survive?

In this desperate "apocalypse," every life on the brink of despair is forced to confront this soul-searching question.

The influence of Kindred, the Grim Reaper, coupled with the deliberate "guidance" from the Void creatures who were among the first to leave the Alps!
This led many on the continent, whether human mages or other demons, to choose the path of coexistence in the void.

They discovered that after fusing with the Void Worm, their own power even increased, and they also gained control over certain Void abilities.

These people then crossed the dividing line and spread into the Asian region.

Empress Pierre de Luís's ambitions were certainly not limited to the European continent; she wanted to prepare for her future entry into Asia.

Today, only a few iconic powerful nations remain among the human nations of Europe, while the demonic region is reduced to a single area in the northern part of the East European Plain, near the Arctic Ocean.

The rest were occupied by the void.

The top floor of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Asia.

Inside the magnificent circular council chamber.

Representatives of the Asian Magic Association and leaders of prominent families gathered here, the air thick with a sense of solemnity and unease.

A magical projection hovered in the center of the round table, clearly showing the terrifying scene of the European continent being gradually devoured by strange purplish-black void energy, as well as the large number of refugees crossing the border and pouring into Asia.

A middle-aged man in a traditional robe with a solemn expression broke the silence, pointing his finger heavily at the boundary between Europe and Asia on the projection.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is extremely urgent. In the past week, at least tens of thousands of 'refugees' from Europe have flooded into our country and the surrounding region."

“They are not ordinary migrants; many of them have considerable magical abilities.”
