Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 394 Setting Off! "The Sun of Antarctica"?
Countless desert demons of various forms witnessed His Majesty Azir using his supreme divine power to forge this "Divine Path" spanning the ocean, and their inner fanaticism and loyalty were ignited to the extreme.

Whether it's a low-level swarm of sandworms, a massive sandstone behemoth, or a high-level demon that has developed sentience.

At this moment, they all felt a resonance deep within their blood with the sun disk and with the ascended emperor.

"For Shurima!"

"For His Majesty Azir!"

A thunderous battle cry erupted, its sound almost shattering the clouds.

"Go to war!!!"

These two simple words contain an unquestionable determination and a will to sweep across the world.

Once the order was given, the silence was replaced by a more violent outburst.

The emperors at the forefront of the legion were the first to step onto the passageway flowing with golden light.

The body of the Flowing Sand Emperor merged into the surface of the passage, as if becoming part of the divine path, leading the Flowing Sand Legion forward like a golden tide.

The Sand Eater Karim let out a low growl, flapped his wings and took flight, his massive shadow sweeping across the passage, followed closely by his Desert Predators, their killing intent palpable.

……

Each emperor and his endless army exuded overwhelming power, marching along the golden passage toward the frozen Antarctic continent!

Golden rays of light, carrying the fury of the desert, begin to cross the vast blue waters of the Indian Ocean, a spectacle of unparalleled grandeur.

Meanwhile, in Antarctica, the heart of extreme cold.

Known as the "Ice Emperor" Ernos, the Antarctic emperor, stands atop a towering ice crystal throne tens of thousands of meters high.

Its form is not fixed; sometimes it resembles a giant made of blue ice, and sometimes it disperses into a cloud of aurora mist filled with the aura of absolute zero.

Its eyes pierced through the distance of space, clearly seeing the golden passage that stretched from the southernmost tip of Africa, radiating a heat and life force that it utterly loathed.

Despite the pain and anger it felt at the loss of two powerful allies, "Lord of Eternal Silence" and "King of Frostbones," in the recent battle in the Indian Ocean.

But at this moment, Ernos felt not much panic, but rather a chilling sense of being provoked.

"Hmph, arrogant!" The deep voice echoed across the vast ice plains, like glaciers grinding against the seabed.

"How dare you set foot in the eternally frozen divine kingdom!"

Every gust of cold wind here is a sharp blade, and every inch of ice is a trap.

Your pathetic warmth will only dissipate even faster in this ultimate cold!
Come, the more the better! I'll use your bones and souls to reinforce my glacial throne!
It acknowledged Azir's immense power, and that the portal of light created out of thin air was indeed a miracle, but this did not change its opinion that the other party's decision was foolish.

In its view, Azir's move was tantamount to walking into a trap.

"Azir... how dare you underestimate my Arctic Abyss!" Ernos's thoughts were filled with murderous intent.

"I will make you pay an eternal price for this arrogance!"

It is not blind confidence.

The horrors of Antarctica are far more complex than they appear on the surface.

Although Ernos is currently the strongest being active on the glacier, ruling over the vast ice sheet region, it knows all too well that beneath the ice sheets that are several kilometers thick, in those bottomless abysses that connect to the underground sea, lie many ancient and terrifying beings.

Some are ancient ice-core beasts that existed even earlier than it, some are ancient species that have mutated due to extreme cold, and there may even be "Lords of the Ice Age" who have survived from the Ice Age to the present day.

Their strength was something even Ernos feared.

It was only because these powerful beings fell into a deep slumber that he earned the title of the strongest emperor in Antarctica!

However, if a large-scale invasion by a foreign enemy were to awaken these dormant ancient wills, the consequences would be devastating.

“There’s no need for me to personally intervene,” Ernos coldly calculated. “As long as they dare to venture inland and attempt to cross the ‘Silent Icefield’ or the ‘Howling Ice Gorge’.”

Naturally, ancient beings that have been dormant will be awakened by this immense life energy and heat.

Then... Hmph.

It had even foreseen the scene where the desert demons would gradually lose their vitality under the extreme cold, be hunted by the native demons lurking under the ice, and eventually turn into ice sculptures.

It intends to wait for the enemy to tire itself out, take advantage of Antarctica's unique environment to weaken the enemy, and even use someone else to do its dirty work.

However, just as the Antarctic emperor Ernos was calmly making his plans, a sudden change occurred!
The Antarctic sky, perpetually shrouded in greyish-white clouds and biting snow, suddenly cracked with a sound.

A massive spatial rift, its edges shimmering with golden flames, tore open the sky without warning!
The crack widened rapidly, as if the sky had opened a scorching eye.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, vast pressure, like a sea of ​​stars, poured down from the crack, instantly enveloping the entire Antarctic ice sheet!

The howling wind seemed to be choked, and the snow crystals flying all over the sky froze and vaporized under this pressure!
Then, to the utter horror of Ernos and countless Antarctic demons, the Sun Disc, symbolizing the supreme authority and power of Shurima, slowly descended from the spatial rift!
The light from the disc completely overwhelmed the faint sunlight of Antarctica at that moment, making every corner of this white continent as bright as day, and leaving no shadows behind!

Under the direct sunlight, the ice began to make a faint "crackling" sound, and there were signs that the surface was melting!

Beneath the dazzling sun disk, Azir, clad in golden divine armor, floated majestically like a god-king descended to earth.

His gaze was calm and indifferent, piercing through the distance of space and landing directly on Ernos on the distant ice crystal throne.

There was no probing, no caution in that gaze, only an absolute authority that looked down upon and judged everything.

Slightly behind and to the side of Azir, the Silverwing Queen stood silently by.

Her silver wings reflected the light of the sun's disc, making them exceptionally dazzling.

She remained silent, yet exuded a powerful, emperor-level aura, like an emperor's maid.

At this moment, Azir not only dispatched the expeditionary force.

He himself, carrying the core of the empire's power, directly reigned over this frozen land!

At that moment, he was the only "sun" rising in the Antarctic sky!
For the first time, the eternally unchanging frigid Antarctic continent felt threatened with being driven away.

Emperor Ernos of the Ice Age had never expected that Azir would be so bold as to venture so far into this territory alone.

"Azir, you're asking for it!"

Azir replied, "You are not worthy!"
