Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

711. The Lord of the Tides Arrives

The others finally regained control of their bodies and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the academy headmaster's powerful figure, their morale soared, and they rallied to form a defensive line.

"Wings of Freedom, charge with me!"

The lords and clan chiefs led their legions into battle, and the Star Warriors and students of the Union School, led by Rodriguez, were not to be outdone. They had no intention of running away and all took up arms to follow their mentors, resisting the dragons in the sky and the monsters and sea creatures brought by the tides, and protecting the common home of the free people.

Nolan sighed. This was the last thing she wanted to see: the silly angel leading a bunch of silly students charging forward like that.

They had no idea what they were facing, or what they would have to pay...

The Dark-Clad Dragon King, trapped in the encirclement, sensed something was wrong, took a few steps back, and felt a chill run down his spine.

Behind them, the Chaos Knight was carrying that strange greatsword and walking step by step. In front of them was Michelle holding a golden spear, her expression cold.

"Where do you want to go?"

The enraged winged lion leader roared beside him, his ferocity fully revealed, and he refused to fall despite his heavy injuries.

"This is really troubling."

Orotanbe struck the ground with his staff, and specks of ice rose from beneath his feet. The gem field, which had not yet been fully formed, was shattered by the invincible leaping strike.

Michelle followed up with the Spear of Condemnation, which pierced the Dragon King's robe with a dazzling scorching light. The tip of the spear grazed the scales covering the body, creating intense sparks. A line of blood extended from the lower abdomen to the cheek, leaving a hideous wound.

"enough!"

Orotanbe screamed in pain. The scales he shed contained powerful spirits, unleashing a dozen or so ice explosions that sent the three men flying. Blood dripped down his face as he roared, his twisted face twisting as he said, "You insignificant creatures, you should be proud to be stepping stones for the great dragon race, yet you dare to defy the Dragon King!?"

Reinhardt staggered backward, already at his last gasp, his consciousness fading, his vision going black, his tall body about to fall when a pair of steady, strong arms caught him.

"Principal, you can't fall yet. The students and soldiers on the front lines need you more."

The silver-haired girl's voice wasn't loud, but her sincere warmth emanated from her slender arms, which softened Reinhardt's expression.

Nolan was right. There was no time to be stubborn. The old man straightened up, calmed down, and looked at the pretty girl with a complicated expression.

"I'm truly ashamed. I have to admit that if it weren't for the Chaos Throne, Rhine City would have already fallen. Perhaps Principal Zhang's choice was right. Miss Invincible, I'll leave this place to you."

The Lord of Rhine rushed to the city wall to oversee the battle. Despite the assistance of the Twelve Star Chart, the situation in the Mirror Hall remained unclear.

At this moment, all the civilians in the city were being escorted by guards to the underground of the fortress, trembling as they listened to the rumbling and shaking above. The sturdy armory had become a temporary refuge, or perhaps a desperate coffin about to be filled with water.

Nolan frowned, watching Vivian's retreating figure with some worry. She was still on guard against another terrible threat lurking in the waters of Neptune.

Chaos should have been her destiny, but why does the sudden surge of dragons cause such unease?

Centrifugal Entropy watched coldly, enjoying its leisure, while Desolate Entropy rubbed its hands together, itching to get involved but forced to keep watch over the Demon Overlord. Was Xi Weng really planning to AFK for the entire game?

"Come with me quickly, they have no chance of winning!"

A water sphere slowly floated to Nolan's side, accompanied by the urgent call of the young heiress.

Princess Xiaowu reached out her hand to the girl she favored most, "King." Her current position was extremely awkward. She could only watch helplessly as her people invaded the Free Federation without being able to stop the catastrophe, and she hadn't even received a whisper of it. She was considered to have failed in her duty.

The fact that the rulers of the Valley of the Spectrum and the Throne of the Sea had kept this a secret from almost everyone demonstrates the powerful determination behind this conspiracy. At least the Swordfish Princess still had the ability to lead them away safely.

"I know."

Nolan's tone was calm. Death doesn't lie. Since Roland is here, the Federation is doomed to defeat.

"Then why bother...?"

Olivia held Joanna and Meiru's hands, extremely nervous. Fortunately, the two demon girls were well-behaved and did not cause any trouble.

Dream Salon is merely a venture capitalist who is adept at navigating complex relationships; he must not get too close to any power struggles, and it is even more inconvenient for him to appear on the battlefield.

In the interdimensional war, the power of an individual is far too insignificant, even for a sage. The first Star Lord to fall in battle has already appeared, crushed and devoured by a swarm of dragon beasts.

Is the enemy facing Rhine City a million, or ten million?

No one knows that Neptune's army is endless, bringing a continuous stream of waves from the wormhole into the Sky Pit Island until only water remains on this plane.

The girl suddenly turned around, her delicate face showing no fear, only a nervously sweet smile.

Regardless of justice or faith, Nolan simply enjoys the unknown and chaos. Chaos is her only order, and the more the Father and the Night Mother try to stop her, the more she wants to disrupt things!

Classic rebellion—that's probably why the beautiful goddess king was so easily fooled by Asteria.

Nolan handed over the equally awkward Ekaterina to Mist Princess. Dragon Princess shook her head and struggled, but couldn't go against her wife's insistence, because the scene that was about to unfold might not be very pleasant.

Winning or losing doesn't matter, whether it's a human or a dragon that dies doesn't matter either, what matters is getting revenge!

The One-Horned Knight Commander-in-Chief was exceptionally brave, the Chaos Knight's giant blade was terrifying, and the Dark-Curved Dragon King was forced to retreat in defeat, without even having time to chant.

With a flash of blue light, Orotenbe was forced to reveal its magnificent true form. The sapphire dragon flapped its wings and took flight, fleeing in terror. In mid-air, a golden spear pierced its wing, and its dragon blood stained the entire sky red.

Orotanbe landed heavily, shouting frantically, "No Sea King, no Source Water God, this is not what you promised!"

"Orotanbe, you sinner, I have received your last words!"

Michel spun around, heading straight for the dragon's head, his spear pressed against Orotenbe's throat.

The light of the law causes the elements to flow through every vein of her soul, to strengthen the truth and vow to execute all the Father's enemies!

Boom!

A fountain suddenly burst forth from the ocean tide, sending powerful waves of water soaring into the sky.

From the depths of the vortex, a gigantic arm, shaped from pure water, emerged. The azure hand seized the lightning serpent that was traversing the currents and slaughtering the sea creatures, and choked Hilde's massive body, hurling it toward the giant bride.

Caught off guard, Jing Shuang fell into the water with a "bang," covering most of the East District. The tide was no deeper than a pond to her, barely reaching her high chest. But then her limbs were bound by the giant waves, and she was entangled with the most annoying guy in the world.

Seawater swept into Rhine City along the broken city walls, allowing the valiant sea creature soldiers to cross the defenses. The city wall defenders were caught in a dilemma, and Reinhardt immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the high ground of the fortress.

712. The terrifying aspects of the ocean

The dragons unleashed elemental breaths from the sky to suppress the enemy, while the sea creatures launched surprise attacks from the undercurrents to reap the rewards. The fearless, mutated dragon beasts continued to climb the city walls, wearing down the elite Winged Lion Legion at a cost several times greater than their own strength. They were no match for them.

Our only hope now rests on our allies on Skyfall Island. We must hold out until Unicorn Knight arrives in time!

Amidst the raging waves, some ferocious deep-sea beast seemed to lurk. After casually dispatching the two entropy demons, a water-shaped elemental figure wearing a crown rose from the vortex, drawing dozens of torrents that surged into the starry sky!

The spherical water prison rotated and cut, obscuring the sky and attempting to prevent the Star Apostles from drawing star power from it, while also separating Vivian and the Twelve-Sided Star Chart from Rhine City.

"Roar!"

Iyef broke free from Vivian, her massive head turning icy cold as she unleashed a suffocating purple flame at the Mirror Hall, showing no mercy whatsoever.

The purple dragon breath was like a corrosive dark cloud, baking the heavens and earth, tearing and twisting the spatial barrier along with it. Once caught in it, one would be instantly pulverized.

"stop!"

Distracted by panic, Vivian disregarded the domineering laws of the Source Water Prison and forcibly broke through, sustaining numerous injuries.

Michelle's expression changed drastically. No longer caring about slaying the evil dragon, she spread her eight wings and sped away, only managing to grab Alicia and the two little girls beside her and escape from the venue.

The audience and students inside and outside the school building had been evacuated, fleeing far away from the place of trouble, and only a handful of people remained in the venue.

Only one silver-haired girl remained motionless. Not long ago, she was competing with Rodriguez for the championship on stage, but now she stood there in a daze, staring coldly at the starry sky, as if questioning or provoking.

The dragon flames were scorching hot, burning one's heart and lungs, as if even the soul would be burned to ashes, but the girl seemed oblivious, making the hearts of those watching almost leap out of their throats.

The Virgo and Aries Star Envoys, having lost their mark, were willing but unable to do so. However, Invincible's eyes flashed, and instead of retreating, he advanced, appearing in front of Nolan with his purple-bladed greatsword. His tall figure blocked the oncoming dragon breath of destruction.

boom!

Crystal flames soared into the sky, engulfing the Mirror Hall in the Flame of Truth and instantly leveling it to the ground, leaving not a trace of debris. The Rhine Holy Martial Academy was missing a piece out of thin air.

The empty ruins of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Arena are now just a cluster of purple crystals, with faint spatial rifts leading to the earth's core, a bottomless abyss.

"No!"

Rodriguez stopped in shock, only to see a mass of molten metal, the twisted armor no longer recognizable as human.

The Chaos Knight's aura vanished, its annihilation flames dimmed and extinguished. It failed to protect anyone and perished in the dragon flames itself.

This scene left Saint Lenza and Ceylon's mentors stunned. Skuld shook his head in a daze, Lynn collapsed to the ground, and Serani's heart trembled.

Yero and the other students who fought to the end had broken down in despair. Their already exhausted bodies were now wounded, and their trembling lips could not speak. Even the invincible teacher could not survive the mouth of the Mother of Dragons.

Have the gods truly abandoned the Free Federation?

"Stars, follow me into battle!"

Vivian's face grew paler and paler. Enraged, she retaliated by unleashing a forbidden spell that landed on the sea. Planets descended, sweeping through the enemy ranks like a storm, each falling meteorite causing a spray of blood.

Byron opened his mouth, but had no time to worry. He looked up and stared in awe at the source water god rising from the vortex.

With a single move, it restrained the Guardians of the Stars. That water-shaped behemoth could only be the master of Neptune, the Lord of the Tides!

"Too late!"

Orotenbe, dragging his tattered wings, cursed under his breath, nearly dying at the hands of Michelle, and fled in disarray to Daenerys Targaryen for protection.

A deafening roar echoed from the churning waves, followed by wild laughter: "What do you know? The true overlords always make their appearance last. These landlubbers have no idea how terrifying the ocean can be!"

As they spoke, dozens of thick water columns emerged from the water like sea serpents, smashing through the fragile city walls. Countless swordfish guards and seahorse cavalry surfaced, roaring in victory, and completely surrounded the city of Rhine.

The hybrids hiding in their fortresses were like turtles, with no chance of winning from the start, merely wasting each other's time and energy.

Mirror Frost was dizzy from being hit by the Thunder Serpent. She shook her head and used her superhuman strength to break free from the flexible shackles formed by the seawater. Just as she was about to get up, a Megalodon bit her arm hard.

The giant's body was comparable to the most solid barrier, its ancient bloodline was in no way inferior to that of the dragon race, and it was impossible for it to be harmed by ordinary forces. However, the world's largest and most beautiful wedding dress could not help but suffer.

"Go away!"

Denessa cursed Hilder, enraged by the damage to her beloved clothes. The brand on her chest merged into her pale skin, blooming into ice flowers that spread with the annihilating flames, freezing the ants beneath her feet into ice shards and dust.

Razer screamed in pain and was also accidentally injured by the frost. It leaped up and released ferocious lightning, but it was unable to get past the waterspout and approach the Lord of the Tides.

Messiah's screams and Zenora's wailing were drowned out by the chaotic carnage. Anger transformed into world-destroying notes that spread throughout the entire sea, bewildering the battlefield. The eclipse wheel of light hovering in the sky evaporated all the alien races that dared to invade the Elf Queen.

Even so, it could not reverse the Rhine's decline. The mutated dragon beasts continued to emerge, their corpses piled up like mountains to build city walls, and the swimming fish warriors waited for their chance to strike, surrounding and killing every soldier who fell into the water, gradually eroding the Wings of Freedom's defenses.

Unbeknownst to them, the power of the ocean had already filled the entire plane, and neither the Entropy Demons nor the Rhine Guards could withstand the attack for long, to no avail.

More giant sea monsters are approaching the crumbling city in the vortex, entangled with the World Serpent and the Giant Bride, the Dragon Mother of the Variegated Valley reigns supreme in the sky, and the Lord of the Tides has personally arrived on the battlefield. Neither the sky nor the sea has any room for counterattack, and defeat is just a thought away.

Vivian abandoned Iev and eagerly plunged into the void of the campus, waving her starlight to dispel the crystalline flames on the metal slag, but she could no longer feel that familiar, violent fluctuation.
