Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 438 Mount Fashen - The Demise of the National Soul
As top forbidden spellcasters like Margaret left the main battlefield one after another.

The human-controlled areas of the Americas were being invaded and compressed at an alarming rate by demons on both the eastern and western fronts.

Cities are falling one after another, survivor strongholds are being destroyed one after another, and humanity's living space is shrinking at an unprecedented rate.

However, those forbidden spellcasters can leave.

However, Mount Fashan, as a symbol of the United States, cannot be easily moved.

Inside Mount Fashen, the spirits of the four founding fathers of the United States—George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Thomas Jefferson—stand solemnly.

In their lifetimes, they were all powerful and influential forbidden spellcasters who created and protected this country with their exceptional talents and unwavering will.

Now existing as heroic spirits, their power remains immense, but they must rely on the God of Magic Mountain to sustain their existence and cannot roam freely as they did in life.

At this moment, due to the contraction of the defensive line, the area where they were located was not far from the Atlantic sirens.

The distant sea exploded, and a terrifying figure as large as a mountain broke through the waves—it was the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor!
Its eyes were fixed on Mount Fashen, and its overwhelming imperial pressure was as real as a physical force, with waves sweeping over it.

The spirit of Washington, holding a longsword, stepped forward. His illusory face revealed no emotion, and he spoke in a deep voice: "There is no turning back today. Let us fight to the death!"

The spirits of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Jefferson surged forward simultaneously, unleashing four powerful soul forces that originated from the same source yet possessed distinct characteristics, merging with the power of Mount Fashen itself!
The powers of the four national spirits merged perfectly under the coordination of Mount Fashen.

Washington's power transformed into a golden pillar of light that stretched across the heavens and earth, actively meeting the towering waves unleashed by the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor!

The radiance released by Lincoln coiled around it, constantly disintegrating the tides;

"boom--!"

A golden beam of light clashed violently with a blue tsunami!
The beam of light remained unmoved, actually splitting the devastating tsunami in two!

The dissipated energy pressed a huge dent into the sea surface below.

The massive body of the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor was shaken backward, a hint of astonishment flashing in its eyes.

With the combined efforts of the four national heroes, this move gave them the upper hand!

However, before they could expand their gains, another change occurred!
The dark sky above was suddenly replaced by a dazzling galaxy!

Endless starlight cascaded down like a waterfall, and the elegant and majestic figure of the Oceanic ruler, the Spirit Sea Rose, quietly emerged amidst the starlight.

Behind her were two "Spirit Sea Roses" whose auras were the same as hers and who also exuded an imperial-level pressure!
The Spirit Sea Rose herself glanced down at the Divine Mountain, which was confronting the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast, and said to the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor, "You continue to advance inward with the tides. They... we will take care of them."

The Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor let out a low roar, nodded, and its massive body circled around the God of Law Mountain, stirring up new waves that surged toward the inland.

The next moment, the gazes of the three Spirit Sea Roses simultaneously locked onto the God of Magic Mountain!
They stood atop the waves, like goddesses emerging from deep-sea myths.

In an instant, the celestial phenomena changed dramatically.

The starlight and ocean psychic energy around them began to converge wildly, countless fluorescent whirlpools rose on the sea surface, and streaks of dazzling light fell from the sky.

Under their guidance, these three forces quickly solidified and intertwined, eventually transforming into three enormous chains that stretched across the sky and the sea!

A deep, azure blue, entwined with the heaviness and confinement of the vast ocean.
One stripe shimmered with a beautiful rose-red hue; the last stripe sparkled with pure silver-white.

The three chains are not simply side by side, but are spiraled and intertwined to form a huge triangular barrier. The immense power contained within completely seals off and solidifies this space!
"Not good!" Jefferson's soul fluctuated violently.

The remaining power of the four national heroes was combined once again without reservation.

An enormous, mountain-shaped phantom rapidly formed in mid-air, carrying an unwavering determination to crush everything, and slammed down upon the three entangling star chains! "Clang! Clang! Clang—!"

The chains collided violently with the mountain's shadow!
The ear-piercing sound of the impact tore through the sky.

Under the crushing weight of the giant mountain, the Star River Chains trembled violently, and tiny cracks appeared on their surface.

However, the three chains shimmered with light, their deep blue, rose red, and silver-white energies resonating and circulating endlessly.

The radiance from the stars and the vast spiritual energy from the ocean continuously replenished the energy consumed, and the cracks were healed in an instant!
On the other hand, the light emanating from Mount Fashen dimmed after being struck.

The figures of the four national heroes also visibly froze, their movements severely restricted by the three star chains, as if they were trapped in an invisible quagmire.

Seeing that the spatial constraints were in place, the three Sea Rose Emperors made a move simultaneously.

They gracefully folded their hands in front of their chests.

The next moment, the three towering, budding giant sea rose phantoms behind them burst into bloom at the same instant!
It was an exquisite beauty that defied description; the petals unfolded layer upon layer, each one flowing with dreamlike colors, as if they had captured all the splendor of the ocean and the starry sky.

However, beneath this ultimate beauty lies an aura of decay!
Centered on the three emperors, the energy spread towards the God of Law Mountain, which was firmly bound by chains.

"Shou!"

Washington's spirit let out its final roar.

The four national heroes burned with all their might, constructing a dazzling and tangible final light shield that enveloped the entire sacred mountain!
"laugh--"

The power of decay touched the light shield, gradually dimming and becoming transparent.

The four figures of national heroes behind the light shield swayed violently, becoming increasingly blurry and transparent.

"Click..."

The crisp sound of shattering tolled the final death knell.

The protective shield, which held the last vestiges of the nation's spirit, finally succumbed to its strain and shattered completely.

The power of decay was no longer hindered and instantly swept across the entire God of Law Mountain and the four already extremely weak national souls!

"Do not--!"

A silent cry filled with endless resentment and sorrow reverberated through the soul.

The figures of the four founding fathers, under the relentless erosion of the decaying aura, quickly became transparent and shattered, eventually turning into countless tiny specks of light and completely dissipating into the world.

Without the spirits of the heroes presiding over it, Mount Fashen began to crumble and darken from top to bottom.

Having lost all its spirituality, it has turned into ordinary earth and stubborn rocks.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the entire Fashen Mountain, a symbol of the country's history and heritage, was completely swallowed up by the subsequent raging tsunami, slowly sinking into the cold seawater, leaving only a lifeless whirlpool.

The United States' last remaining strength was completely lost in this battle.

It has become yet another forgotten legend in the deep sea.
