Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 455 The Saintess Opens the Gates of the Abyss
All those involved in the construction were ordered to slowly evacuate the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

Under Melina's command, the Knights of the Law were divided into ten regiments and dispersed around the edge of the Golden Apple Stone Forest to monitor its condition from various angles and prevent any potential problems.

Melina, as the leader of the group, did not leave and remained inside the deep-sea fortress, watching Celia complete the final activation work.

Besides her, there were also Blake and Shuen.

The Deep Sea Alliance was destroyed, Melina's job was to clean up the mess, and Black's job was to be in charge of the Holy Magic Academy. Now that the most dangerous trial of the Holy Magic Academy had been passed, the other trials of conquering the ruins were much less dangerous, and since there was no variable like the Saintess Squad, there was no need for him to keep an eye on it.

He then had some free time.

Needless to say, Shuen has been dedicated to studying the pollution and chaotic magic of the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

Now, Celia has arrived, bringing with her a solution to the pollution problem.

He felt that all his research over the past few decades had been focused on dogs.

Therefore, he looked at Celia's back with mixed feelings, a sense of relief mixed with confusion about what to do next.

Now that the pollution at Golden Apple Stone Forest has been resolved, is it still necessary to stay here?

After completing the final preparations, Celia approached the three bishops and said, "Everything is ready, Your Excellencies. Please take me away now."

Shuen asked, "Celia, what's your solution to the pollution? Can you tell me now?"

Celia said, "The essence of the pollution comes from the demonic energy of the abyss. These all escaped from the abyss during the Age of Calamity. What I did was very simple: I summoned a gate to the abyss and sent this demonic pollution back."

Xiu En exclaimed in shock, "You...you want to open the Gate of the Abyss? No, how do you know how to open the Gate of the Abyss?"

Blake laughed and said, "You don't know this, do you? A few months ago, when Celia went to the Northern Alliance to participate in the Sorcerer League, she encountered sabotage from the Arctic Blood Alliance in conjunction with many heretics. The Arctic Blood Alliance summoned the Abyss Gate, and at that time, the Abyss Gate was closed in advance thanks to Celia's research."

Melina nodded in agreement: "Yes, if Celia can close it, she can naturally open it as well."

“However…” Melina asked seriously, “I remember that summoning the Abyss Gate would cause monsters from the Abyss to come out. How do you solve this problem?”

Celia smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I thought of this problem a long time ago. It is precisely to solve this problem that we need so many high-grade magic crystals and one pure magic crystal. However, we don't need any magic crystals to summon the Abyss Gate."

Melina nodded, choosing to believe Celia, as did the others.

This magic circle wasn't set up using Celia's wallet, of course.

The heavy pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest has always been one of the most troublesome problems for the City of Leites and the Empire of Ishtar.

Otherwise, a bishop wouldn't have been stationed there for so long, staying for decades and rising from the fourth rank to the sixth rank.

They couldn't help but believe in the authority that Celia had accumulated over time regarding the direction of magic arrays.

Blake had other concerns, such as the magic array. He consulted Celia about rebuilding the magic array for the Holy Magic Academy and offered his unconditional support.

As the magic circle gradually circulated, the pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest directly transformed into raw materials for the summoning magic circle, slowly condensing into the shape of the Abyss Gate in the air.

At the same time, the magic array, which cost a lot of magic crystals to set up, was also activated by the pollution and slowly connected with the underground Golden Apple Stone Forest magic array.

As she was led away from the Golden Apple Stone Forest, Celia silently calculated the cost of the magic circle.

Besides the cost of high-grade materials used to arrange the magic array patterns, the magic crystals alone cost nearly five thousand gold coins!
Two thousand were pure magic crystals, and the remaining three thousand were all spent on high-grade magic crystals.

If you include the cost of setting up the magic array, you'll have ten thousand gold coins.

Such a massive consumption of resources and the cost of mobilizing personnel can only be afforded by the Holy Court; the city of Leites probably cannot.

Of course, the city of Leites, which will ultimately benefit, will bear a portion of the cost, while the other portion will be borne by the royal family of Ishtar.

"Ten thousand gold coins, if I were to save them, I don't know how long it would take..."

Celia exclaimed.

Ross chuckled, "Ten thousand gold coins is nothing. For a sixth-tier mage, it's just the price of selling a few spatial rings. The higher your tier, the more resources and gold coins you can control. Once you reach sixth tier... no, even fifth tier, you'll realize that ten thousand gold coins is a lot." Celia: "..."

The final turn was so sudden that Celia almost strained her back.

As they left, the entire Golden Apple Stone Forest slowly began to tremble.

There are many ways to open the Abyss Gate: sacrificing people, sacrificing souls, consuming magic power, or consuming demonic energy for corruption.

It's very simple to open; just give it a trigger, and the Abyss Gate will expand on its own.

But the magic array that Ross set up, which looks like the Gate to the Abyss, should actually be called the Reverse Gate to the Abyss.

The Gate of the Abyss releases pollution; it absorbs pollution.

At the same time, it is also necessary to connect the magic array of the entire Golden Apple Stone Forest to dig out the deep pollution and pour it back in.

It's very difficult; even ordinary gods couldn't solve it.

Fortunately, Rose used to be good at everything and knew everything.

The value of this bucket number is off the charts!
At the edge of the Golden Apple Stone Forest, as the Knights of Law retreated, the mercenaries who received the news rushed over immediately. They sensed that the pollution in the Golden Apple Stone Forest was raging, and they nervously and expectantly activated the recording function on their bracelets, preparing to record the whole process.

Dornier was one of them.

He chose a location closest to the center—the Golden Apple Stone Forest is not a circle.

The weather was beautiful today, with clear blue skies. If it weren't for the haze, the stone pillars of the Golden Apple Stone Forest would be an excellent tourist attraction.

"The pollution in the entire Golden Apple Stone Forest has rioted. Anyone still inside now would probably be strangled instantly," Big Polo sighed beside him.

Dornier wholeheartedly agreed, "But no one should go in at this time; if they do, they deserve to die..."

"Look, what's that?!" a mercenary exclaimed excitedly.

Donier quickly looked over.

In the far distance, in the central region, a dark spot is forming and slowly expanding.

It's only 40 kilometers from the center, but it's still quite far.

Fortunately, Donier had prepared a magical device that could observe from extremely long distances.

He took it out directly and activated it with magic. Soon, a scene that was taking place in the center of the Golden Apple Stone Forest was projected into the air.

The black dot turned out to be a black vortex.

Seeing this, the surrounding mercenaries gathered around to watch.

Someone frowned: "This looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Another person exclaimed, "Isn't this what appeared in the Sorcerer's League? I think it's called the Abyss Gate?"

What is the Gate to the Abyss?

"It's the gate that can summon abyssal monsters. You know the abyss, right?"

"do not know."

"What a coincidence, I didn't know either."

"?"
