Magic, Evil Gods, and the Fourth Calamity

The moment they saw Eileen being knocked away, the rest of the Illuminati almost instinctively stepped between Eileen and the three strange men.

Even though the aura emanating from those three strange men made them tremble, they still stood there firmly, their eyes filled with a resolute determination to die.

The three strange men didn't give chase; they just looked at each other with conflicted expressions and communicated in a language they couldn't understand.

"Damn, why are the NPCs in this game so realistic?! Are there real people controlling them?! I'm finding it hard to attack them!"

"Who knows? Didn't IE say that NPCs are backed by AI that's almost indistinguishable from real people..."

On the other side, Eileen, holding a silver-white longsword, struggled to her feet, seemingly wanting to return to the battlefield as soon as possible, but was stopped by the elderly priest.

"Lady Eileen, we'll hold those three off. Please hurry to the remains of the Gluttonous Dragon to witness the Lord's reappearance!"

As the elderly pastor spoke, he pulled a book with a gold border from his pocket and began to speak in a solemn and firm tone.

Eileen quickly protested, "No, teacher, I can still fight! I'm not seriously injured! Those guys aren't very skilled in combat. As long as I'm careful enough, I can..."

Upon hearing this, the elderly pastor's gaze darkened.

"Lady Irene, please don't forget what you need to do! Please don't forget your mission! Your brother and the kingdom are waiting for you!"

The elderly pastor's words left Eileen momentarily speechless, and she could only stammer, "Then, what about you teachers?"

"This is a necessary sacrifice! Just like you!" the elderly pastor said, walking towards the crowd. He opened the thick book in his hand, and the pages filled with scriptures moved without wind, emitting a gentle light.

"Please remember, you are our last hope!"

"Everyone, listen to my command! Hold off these three monsters and cover Lady Eileen's escape! For the Lord! For the Kingdom!"

"For the Lord! For the Kingdom!"

With everyone united in purpose, a light of faith shines in each person's eyes.

Eileen watched this scene in silence, her grip on her longsword tightening involuntarily. Finally, she flapped her wings of light behind her, turned around, and fled into the depths of the forest.

The three strange men wanted to give chase, but were blocked by a pure white barrier that descended from the sky.

"If you want to leave here, you'll have to step over us first!"

The elderly pastor, dressed in a white robe, had grown taller than before, despite his previously hunched figure.

Eileen ran away quickly; this was the first time she had ever run away in her life.

The place where Eileen and her companions were attacked was not far from the remains of the Gluttonous Dragon.

After a frantic dash, Eileen realized what was happening when she was surrounded by the remains of a giant dragon.

A strange sensation drew her to the chest of the dragon's remains, and led her forward.

Gripping her longsword tightly, she passed through an invisible barrier and entered a shattered world.

It was a bleak and broken world, with a shattered sky overhead and a dilapidated palace full of cracks in the distance.

Is it almost here?

Eileen followed her instincts and walked toward the temple. She could feel the Eternal Sword in her hand cheering and leaping with joy.

She was also very excited, believing that if she could call back the Lord, perhaps everything would still be alright.

She entered the hall and saw the Eternal Spear recorded in the ancient books. She saw the [Gluttonous Dragon], who was sealed by the Eternal Spear and should have died, smile at her.

Yes!

The gluttonous dragon, who should have died, is laughing!

He did not die!

Countless tentacles and flesh grew from the ground, climbing and wrapping around her body. A strange sense of fear rose from the soles of her feet, and an existence more terrifying than death enveloped her.

She wanted to turn around and run away from here. This was only the second time in her life that she had tried to escape, but she couldn't. She couldn't even move her body. Her whole body and even her mind were controlled by something called fear.

"In the end, Brother Hua and his gang suffered because they were civilized people! But I'm different. I'm the kind of person who's so hungry I'd eat a panda."

So, thank you! You went out of your way to bring it to me personally! I feel so bad!

The source of that fear spoke in words Eileen couldn't understand, and with a slight movement of its hand, it snatched the Eternal Sword from her grasp, taking away her last hope!

……

"Heh, I never expected the Throne of Light to fall. No wonder the Spear of Eternity became ownerless!"

Eternal Sword

Rank: Divine Artifact

Forged from a broken and incomplete authority of light.

The Illuminati's sacred relic contains all the power of faith collected by the Illuminati over the past millennium, all directed towards the [Throne of Light]. The Illuminati intends to use this as the key to resurrect the [Throne of Light].

Ai felt the considerable energy within the silver-white longsword and couldn't wait to completely absorb it.

Once he absorbs all the energy inside and converts it into chaos value, he can pull out that damned spear from his chest and become the complete [Gluttonous Dragon].

With that in mind, Ai Yi no longer hesitated and activated the Devouring Authority to begin absorbing the energy within the silver-white longsword.

Since the silver-white longsword is a kind of energy storage device, the feeling of devouring it is much more satisfying than deducting chaos points from the Eternal Spear!

Grab it in one go, and refine it instantly!

Chaos value +56783

……

Name: Edmund Ifre

[Race: Ancient Dragon (Chaos Black Dragon)]

[Level: 150 (Mythical)]

[Status: Dead but not stiff (already dead)]

[Authority/Divine Duty: Flesh and Blood, Twisting, Devouring, Order (1‰), Light (Flawed) (1‰)]

[Titles: Dominator of Flesh and Blood, Usurper of Heaven, Gluttonous Dragon]

[Chaos Divine Power: 0/500 (Resurrection Cost)]

Chaos value: 56854

This is going to be a huge success!

Looking at her 50,000+ Chaos Points, Ai couldn't wait to revive her dragon form.

Chaos value and Chaos divine power can be converted into each other.

One point of Chaos Divine Power is equal to one hundred points of Chaos Value.

Now that he has enough Chaos Points, it's time to let this world remember the fear of being dominated by the [Gluttonous Dragon]!

Chaos value -50000

[Chaos Divine Power +500]

With a thought, the 50,000 Chaos Points instantly solidified, transforming into 500 points of Chaos Divine Power, becoming part of Ai's body rather than free-floating energy.

At this moment, Ai truly understood the difference between Chaos Value and Chaos Divine Power—it was the difference between energy and origin.

Ai dropped the Eternal Sword from her hand and instead hugged the spear stuck in her chest with both hands.

The remaining six thousand or so Chaos Points were used to activate the Twisted Authority. Terrifying twisting power emanated from Ai's hands, frantically eroding the knight's lance that was enveloped in pure white light.

On the panel that Ai Yi opened, his control over the authority of "Light" and "Order" flashed wildly, finally settling at "64%".

This consumed 6000 Chaos Points for Ai, and the "64%" control level was also temporary.

But that's enough for Ai now, because all he needs to do is pull the Eternal Spear from his chest.

Ai grabbed the Eternal Spear with both hands and exerted force, pulling the once immovable spear outward inch by inch.
