Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

The border defenses of the Holy Alliance, Sky Island, Free Federation, Savage Beast Territory, and even the Abyss and Obsidian Empire—none of these major powers escaped unscathed; all were submerged by the sea.

The Lord of the Tides did not deliberately choose his opponents, seemingly wanting to be at odds with the entire world and flaunt his unshakeable strength. This approach undoubtedly angered everyone.

The tides come and go without a trace, while the dragons provide airspace suppression, making most lords no match for them.

What's most infuriating is that neither the dragons nor the sea creatures continued their pursuit, nor did they choose to occupy the territory. Instead, they left behind only desolate wastelands and homeless civilians, causing trouble for each other and forcing the lord into a passive position.

On the battlefields of different dimensions, there were victories and defeats, but the endless stream of mutated dragons was despairing, and the situation was not out of control despite the death of the Dark Curtain Dragon King.

This outcome was unexpected by Bailu and Heiman. The mutated dragons created through the bloodline of the Agate Dragon Mother were completely free from the control of the Cataclysmic Dragon Riders and were only subject to the orders of the new Dragon Mother. It was clear that Orotenbe had planned this from the beginning.

Due to the infighting between the Cataclysmic Dragoons and the Iron Dragoons, Pompey and Caliban were repeatedly defeated by the Savage Beast Lords in the battle for the High Plane, gradually losing power in front of the Obsidian Emperor, and were powerless to help.

The combined power of the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan is beyond doubt. The participation of the Free People in the war means that the last peaceful paradise on earth will no longer exist. The Star Alliance School regretfully announced an indefinite suspension of classes the day after the Battle of Freedom.

At the same time, all factions began to plot how to dominate the next era and seek powerful allies for the birth of a new era.

The Temple of War was destroyed overnight, and the Temple of Love and Wisdom took its place. The tide of dragons brought new and terrifying enemies, and the world was in turmoil. The quietly rising Throne of Chaos became a powerful divine kingdom that could not be ignored in the eyes of the world. Its neutral stance made it the best ally in everyone's mind.

The Chaos Knight, whose true form was revealed, was also a worthy focus. The dragon-slaying girl, favored by the Destroyer of All Realms, transformed into the spokesperson of the Void and displayed power no less than that of the demigod Dragon Mother in the Battle of Freedom, slaying the Sapphire Dragon King on the spot.

However, after her stunning appearance at the All-Star Gala, the Little Witch mysteriously disappeared, giving no one a chance to extend an olive branch. Neither Invincible nor Nolan has appeared in the public eye since.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl, who was at the center of public opinion, had returned to the Federal Galaxy Capital and was quietly waiting by the headmaster's bedside.

The sun shone brightly outside the window, casting its light on Vivian's face through the stained glass of the Sanctuary of Stars. Her pale, pretty face appeared serene and peaceful, her breathing even, as if she were asleep, though she had been unconscious for a long time.

Nolan frowned. Vivian's physical wounds appeared to have healed, but she had not yet woken up. Perhaps the celestial phenomena had caused a powerful impact on her soul. How could the broken circuits be repaired?

"Dean... are you alright?"

The Archer Star Envoy, dressed in divine robes, hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

As the older sister, Alicia wants to find out exactly when Nolan became "invincible," but now is not the right time to be honest.

The wounded who returned from Trapped Island have been basically taken care of, and the various campuses of Star Alliance School have been closed one after another. The students have either been repatriated or joined the Wings of Freedom Legion.

The Winged Lion Commander rushed to the battlefield as soon as he was able to get out of bed, wanting only to vent his anger on the shameless enemy. Reinhardt's indignant call received the support of most councilors and generals, and Rodriguez and other Rhine students followed him.

The principals of St. Lenza and Denton were also seriously injured and remained at the medical station. Only Vivian is still in critical condition.

The simultaneous infusion of the twelve constellations granted Vivian power beyond the limits of mortals, but the price was also terrible. Priests from the Temple of Light and the Temple of Love and Wisdom came to investigate, but they were powerless to help.

722. The Prohibitions of the Gods

“It’s no use. This is divine punishment, the consequence of disobeying the gods’ prohibitions. Vivian already knew this.”

Aries' eyes reddened slightly, and he sighed softly.

The Virgo star who made this cruel decision had no face to show. The situation was critical, and only Vivian could bear this power. Although she saved her body, it was difficult to awaken her soul.

What is the prohibition of the gods?

Olivia asked in a low voice that she and Mist Princess had fled Rhine City ahead of time, taking Ekaterina and the two demon girls with them, and had arranged to meet Nolan in the Milky Way.

No one expected that Invincible and Nolan were actually the same person, which is why Reinhardt and the others were saved.

For this, the Free Federation expressed its sincere gratitude to the Throne of Chaos and stated that all cities of freedom will forever remain open to the followers of Chaos.

The girls looked at each other, all puzzled, their questions unanswered, as if they had just learned something new in class.

At this moment, the room was quiet and deserted. Ekaterina and Mist Princess's awkward identities made it inconvenient for them to appear in front of the free people. Joanna and Meru were also under the close watch of Fenrir and Saya. There were already enough troubles at hand.

The two slaves chased after Batian and Perish, but failed to find any of the rampaging war machines. Nolan also returned empty-handed and had to return to the galaxy to start a new plan.

Finally, the absent-minded silver-haired witch slowly spoke, seemingly recalling the ancient era when chaos reigned.

"The final chapter of any divine canon records that after the end of the divine war and the defeat of the demon gods, the Heavenly Father wanted to quell the conflicts among the realms, and knowing that the desires of mortals were endless, he closed the path to ascension to the highest divine court, and did not allow anyone to overstep the divine realm."

In other words, no new god has been crowned in the mortal world for over a thousand years.

Messiah blinked and tugged at his wife's sleeve. "What... does that mean?"

The Aries Star Envoy looked at Nolan's slender back with a complex expression and said in a low voice, "In other words, the appearance of a demigod is an incredible thing."

"......"

The girls looked surprised, and they could see the astonishment in each other's eyes. The realm of the Apostles, which was beyond the ordinary, was full of unknowns for the students.

Batian and Perish were both ancient survivors imprisoned in the Father's cage, but Vivian was made of flesh and blood. Although it was only a brief transgression, her soul could not bear the price of disobeying the prohibition.

That's why the terrifying power wielded by Iyef and the Lord of the Tides is so astonishing, and the same goes for the girl in front of us; they have both defied the gods' prohibitions.

The Aries Star Envoy sighed softly and said, "The same goes for those two mysterious guests who suddenly appeared and then suddenly left. They possess unparalleled power, and mortals can never disobey the Father's will. We do not yet know the specific reasons why so many demigods have reappeared in the world. The Sanctuary is waiting for the stars to descend and reveal their secrets."

You mean...?

Alicia raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding what was going on.

Mortals can never disobey the Heavenly Father, so what about the gods?

There must be some unspeakable conspiracy behind the Dragon Tide, and it is definitely not as simple as the revenge that Orotanbe mentioned. The gods that the Valley of the Spectrum and the Throne of the Sea are condoning their violence!

This makes sense; the Chaos Knights are the wrath unleashed by the Destroyer of All Realms, and the Chaos Godhood helped Nolan transcend the boundaries of mortals and defy the prohibitions of the gods.

"Or perhaps, the great catastrophe described in the war of gods is about to descend again? The stars have not responded for a long time, and I dare not speculate. If Vivian were still here, Libra Star Envoy has always been the transcendent being closest to the stars among us."

Everyone's expressions darkened; such a tone seemed to imply that the headmaster had already...

Messiah shook her little head. The key now is not to fight the dragons, but to save the headmaster.

"Isn't there any other way? Principal Skuld's curse was broken, so there must be a way, right?"

No one spoke, not even the beautiful goddess king, for that was a prohibition by the gods; the two situations were completely different.

To erase the traces of the gods' prohibition means to confront the divine authority of the Father head-on. While the power of destruction can obliterate everything, it has nothing to do with healing and will devour Vivian's body and soul as well.

Nolan gently squeezed Vivian's hand; the touch was slightly cool. His crimson eyes were filled with uncertain emotions, a mixture of conflict and complexity.

Of course, there are ways. The most direct one is to forcibly seize a divine essence and bestow it upon Vivian, helping her instantly transcend her mortal circumstances and return to the world with an immortal divine body.

But isn't that more like something a real, flesh-and-blood human being would do?

Mortals have their own destinies, which bystanders can do nothing about, but the God-King can change them at will. That is where the girl's power lies, but it is completely unnecessary.

Because she is a goddess.

Perentine's warning reminded Nolan that they could be con artists, monsters, or executioners, but they could never be human, lest divinity be tainted by worldly concerns...

Nolan remained silent, her cold, pretty face seemingly showing no interest in anything, and got up to leave.

Messiah paused for a moment, "What do you want to do?"

"I need to...find an answer."

"But nowhere is safe right now, where do you want to go?"

Alicia chased after her, but failed to catch her sister's hand. The silver phantom raised her hand, slashed open the spatial barrier, and disappeared into the void, ignoring the girls' attempts to stop her.

"Don't worry, I just need to calm down, I'll be back soon."

Before leaving, Nolan turned back and forced a smile, still without making a decision. His stubborn expression clearly showed that he did not intend to let anyone follow him.

The rift slowly closed, blocking everyone's view, as if to suggest that the distance between them had never been shortened despite spending so much time together.

The girls still couldn't get used to the image of Invincible and Nolan becoming one, even her closest roommate and sister, and didn't know how to face a real witch.

Olivia and Kiri exchanged a glance, bowed politely, and left the room.

The two wealthy women have been delayed for too long by a series of unexpected events, and it's time for them to consider their future. This information is particularly important for Dream Salon's next investment.

Messiah bit her lip, her eyes flashing. Alicia also gripped her divine robes tightly, her resolve hardening. There was no point in standing still; they could no longer rely on others.

More importantly... they will catch up with that figure!

The rebuilt Galactic Capital was bathed in light after the war. The White Tower City, with its fortified defenses and magic crystal barriers, looked even more magnificent than before, although everyone in the City of Freedom seemed somewhat gloomy because of the Star Festival.

The girl who had vanished into the void emerged from the dark alley a second later, a silver shadow moving like a ghost across the street, talking to itself.

"Where should we look? With her restless nature, she definitely wouldn't just sit there watching. She must be in the Holy Alliance."

Nolan curled his lip and sneered, putting aside the bet for the first time and walking down to the mortal realm in his entirety.

Coincidentally, Orotanbe had once boasted that he would punish all demi-humans who stole the fruits of divine war. The attack of the Pandan Valley seemed to be unpredictable, but the next major strategic move must be related to the descendants of the human queen.

723. Dragon Slayer Warriors Mobilization Rally

Galaxy was once the pride of the Federation, the most prosperous free city under the entire starry sky, a trade center, and a holy place for free people to pilgrimage to the Time Dragon.

Today, this city of white towers is shrouded in a somber atmosphere. The former liveliness is gone, and all foreigners entering and leaving the city are subject to strict surveillance.

The dragon tide acted as a fuse, igniting all destabilizing factors and tearing away the false mask of peace worn by all forces. This chaotic storm has now engulfed the entire world.

Currently, the galaxy is the highest strategic base of the Free Federation, mobilizing major legions to resist the dragons and fight back against the abyss with a neutral and lawful alignment.

Wormholes kept appearing in the azure sky, and warships bearing the Wings of Liberty banner frequently entered and exited, heading towards new battlefields.

Such a large-scale interdimensional war is a huge loss for the Federation, but there are always some things in this world that are absolutely intolerable. The fall of Rhine City has crossed the bottom line for all free citizens.

Since the celebration of Freedom Day a year ago was extinguished by the tide of dragons, the Star Festival has become an unforgettable humiliation for the Federation. The Free Federation's counterattack has been particularly strong, with continuous victories and triumphant advances in both the Abyss Battlefield and the Dragon Slaying Expedition.

It is true that the combined forces of the Splendid Valley and the Sea Throne are exceptionally powerful, but it is still somewhat difficult to face so many enemies simultaneously while on guard. However, in every battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the biggest sacrifice is always made by the mutated dragon beasts, without ever harming the vital organs of the dragons and sea creatures.

Moreover, the plans to besiege the Valley of Splendor have repeatedly failed, and a magnificent egg-shaped crystal wall has been built outside the plane, thick and solid, which even legion-level magic crystal firepower cannot penetrate.

Legion warships cannot linger in the void for too long. Neither Skyfall Island nor the Free Federation can truly probe the dragons' dwelling place. The dragons' unique understanding of magic is comparable only to that of the High Elves. Unable to conquer it by force, the Wings of Freedom can only turn to other realms to aid their allies.

This war has only just begun, and no one knows how long it will last...

Today, the Milky Way was quite different from usual. The streets were deserted, but the central square not far away was bustling with people and filled with lively activity. The faint sound of beautiful music could be heard, making it seem like one of the most lively days since the start of the war.

At the same time, an unexpected figure appeared in the portal of the city hall. The woman, dressed in the Crimson Lotus military uniform, had fiery red hair, was radiant, and had an indescribable charm between her brows.

The surprise is that the Holy Alliance is no longer among the allies recognized by the Sanctuary of the Stars, and the situation on the front lines is tense. Why would a human officer visit the galaxy?

The fragile agreement from a thousand years ago has long since vanished. In the repeated defeats against the Abyss, the human race has lost the trust of the free people. The Free Federation, Sky Island, and the Temple of Light maintain friendly alliances and have formed an extremely powerful dragon-slaying expeditionary force, while the weak Holy Alliance is not among them.

The fully armed Silverwing Guards glanced at the legendary beautiful Empress a few more times, then raised their hands to signal the Crimson Lotus Guards to retreat. Armed forces were not allowed to enter the road ahead, and the Crimson Lotus Duke needed to go to the Freedom Wings Council alone.

The captain of the personal guard flew into a rage and roared, "Insolent wretch! Standing before you is the great descendant of the human queen, the Queen of the Crimson Lotus Dynasty, Empress Heroise the Great!"
