Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

Today marks the day Vivian Nightfall and Chaos Knight Invincible unite in their bond, fighting side-by-side at their coronation and forging a connection under the stars.

Star-Blessed Federation, no one will die here today! The Free Federation will surely win!

The coronation ceremony had just ended when the demon legion suddenly invaded the galaxy, catching the Federation off guard. The situation was critical and far from optimistic.

This was originally impossible, but no one could care less about that at the moment; protecting the parliamentary headquarters of the Mercury Phalanx and repelling the enemy was more important.

More and more powerful individuals reacted, angrily joining the defensive line of the Third Central Hub. Soldiers of the Wings of Freedom Legion began to gather from the city hall and march forward to defend their homeland.

The catastrophe struck suddenly; the outer city was engulfed in flames and black rain, leaving it in ruins.

Corpses and blood were everywhere. Citizens and travelers who could not escape were slaughtered by demons, and flames soared into the sky, illuminating the Milky Way night sky.

The streets surrounding the Third Central Hub have been sealed off by earth magic. The retreating officers quickly established a battle line on the main road, with silver-armored soldiers lined up with shields, leaving a line in the middle for panicked civilians to pass through and take in the underground shelters of the Mercury Array.

The priests of the Temple of Light were in charge of logistics, chanting in the back courtyard of the Champs-Élysées, setting up energy barriers as tents to help the wounded, and under Lin's command, they created a golden barrier above their heads to temporarily block the black rain for everyone.

However, the massive abyssal magic array in the sky remains a major problem. The escaping evil black water strengthens the demons while weakening other living beings, and needs to be dealt with quickly.

The invaders from the outer city are encircling and advancing, tying down most of the forces, but the internal scourge should not be underestimated.

Foul-smelling mud kept gushing out from the governor's mansion, polluting the earth, seemingly the center of an abyss magic array that enveloped the entire city.

Dozens of powerful demons with immense auras circled around, preventing anyone from getting close, and had already killed many of the messenger soldiers.

The entire city's soldiers and civilians need their lord, the Galactic Governor, more than ever. But what is heartbreaking is that Lord Pei Lun is right there among the demons, laughing maniacally as he enjoys the horrific carnage!

Vivian looked at the countless red dots on the star map at her feet, her expression shifting between light and shadow. She ordered all legions to launch a full-scale attack against the outer forces of the Evil Slayer Army that were attacking from all directions.

To win this invasion and defend the galaxy, we must quickly resolve the wormholes in the outer walls and dismantle the evil core of the inner city.

Both are indispensable!

However, in just ten minutes, the Abyss Evil Army on the city wall had reached tens of thousands. The first to arrive were all elite soldiers, who were determined to protect the space tunnel to the death.

The Abyss Commander, having painstakingly planned this invasion, was no fool; both sides clearly understood where the key to victory lay.

It is believed that the enemy's main force is currently gathering strength in the outer city, waiting for more troops to emerge from the wormhole and crush the Wings of Liberty Legion in one fell swoop.

Vivian let out a long sigh, her eyes clear, and she made a decision.

With a flick of her divine robes, she transformed into a streak of dark blue light and burst out of the sanctuary, leading several priests and powerful federal warriors to the outer city.

There's no time to hesitate...

The Wings of Freedom Legion couldn't help, so the Holy Archmage had to go to the most dangerous part of the battlefield himself, facing the Evil Lord Commander and thousands of troops alone, carrying out an impossible and desperate mission.

The only way to destroy a wormhole is now, even if it's just one, to relieve the pressure on the soldiers while they wait for reinforcements. Any later and there will be no chance at all.

The traitor in the Governor's mansion can only be entrusted to that man; success or failure... hinges on this one move!

At this moment, no one in the city is more regretful or more innocent than the students of St. Lenza.

A group of mischievous kids witnessed a miracle of the stars. The aurora brought by the Eternal Lord crowned the invincible teacher with the title "The End".

The seed of strength has been planted in my heart. It should have been an extremely beautiful scene. This trip was not in vain.

But before they could even marvel and celebrate, disaster struck.

Endless grotesque monsters surged onto the streets from every corner, and deformed demons killed anyone they saw. Their numbers were so vast that no one could stop them.

The silver-haired girl disappeared at that moment; the timing of the beautiful goddess king relieving herself was always so precise.

Zinora was pushed and shoved forward by the crowd, fleeing into the inner city, wanting to go back to find Nolan but unable to break free.

Having finally spotted the shield-bearing soldiers ahead, the little princess was about to go over and apply for federal asylum as the future queen of the royal court to rescue her other companions when she was knocked down by a fat man who was exhausted from running around.

The man screamed and ran around like a madman. Without any spirit protecting him, his face and hands were corroded and rotten by the black rain.

"hiss......"

Zinora clutched her aching shoulder and turned around to find even more people rushing towards her, causing her face to turn pale.

The panicked people ignored everyone else and only wanted to get away from the bloodthirsty monster behind them, frantically trampling on each other and triggering a new wave of chaos.

The princess's face turned pale. She didn't have time to dodge and huddled in the corner, trembling with fear. Suddenly, someone grabbed her and dragged her into the dark alley on the left, saving her from disaster.

"Hey, senior!"

Chinara breathed a sigh of relief, and then, in the moonlight, she could see Mengmeng's fluffy bear ears.

Lily and Mengmeng exchanged a glance, their smiles forced.

In the alley, the two Nightingale ministers were covered in blood, their school uniforms tattered, as if they had arrived here after a fierce battle.

They heard the sanctuary's guidance and fled from the west with the refugees. The silly freshmen from the Firevine Class were also at the back of the alley, and everyone looked grim.

The freshmen were probably seeing so many corpses and blood, as well as terrifying abyssal demons, for the first time.

At that moment, everyone deeply realized the seriousness of truancy and vowed never to violate school rules again.

If they hadn't come to the Milky Way, they would have just sat on the sofa in their dormitory, watching TV, marveling at how the federal capital, which hadn't seen a war in centuries, had fallen to the enemy overnight.

How could I possibly have personally experienced this tragedy!

A graceful demon emerged from the shadows, its small, delicate black wings startling Zinora until she saw the beautiful face of her iron-blooded homeroom teacher.

Where did Nolan go?

Janna wiped the black blood from the corner of her mouth and released dark elements to create a veil to isolate the black water from everyone, seemingly having personally killed many of her own kind.

Chinara shook her head, her heart aching. "She went to the restroom, and soon after, there were people and screams everywhere. We got separated from her. Teacher, let's go back and find her!"

Still in Xicheng?

Everyone sighed inwardly, sensing that the odds were against them.

"It's too late, I must get you to the shelter first."

Janna shook her head, her languid body suddenly unleashing an astonishing surge of energy at this critical moment. Her powerful level sixteen sub-saint soul spirit was incredibly reassuring.

136. A sinner for all time

Looking at the demons battling the Sky Knights in the sky, Mengmeng's voice was hoarse, "So many demons, it's a nightmare. How did they get in?"

"Don't think about these useless things. The most important thing is to survive. Did you hear that voice just now? That was Dean Vivian. You should go to the Third Central Hub for refuge. The Temple of Light and the Wings of Freedom Legion will protect you."

Janna pointed to the golden barrier behind the shieldbearer.

"What about you?"

"I?"

The secretary-general clenched his fist and sneered, "The Galactic Governor has betrayed us. The instructors of the Star Alliance School must immediately support the inner city and find a way to find out the truth and break the magic array."

"Lord Pei Lun? Really?!"

Lily's heart sank.

“That makes sense. Skuld and the others must have been there, and they must have sensed the demon’s actions beforehand, which is why they were detained.”

Mengmeng raised her claw trap high, roared, and declared with high spirits, "Take us with you, teacher! We can help too! If you fail, how can we possibly escape the galaxy alive?"

After hesitating for a moment, Janna was persuaded by the War Bear Girl's words, which were indeed true. So she assigned a few students with decent strength to follow her, while the other freshmen went to the Temporary Rescue Station of the Holy Temple to help.

Unable to go to Nolan alone, and worried about Messiah, Zinora also mustered up her courage and went with her homeroom teacher.

The governor's mansion in the city center has become a swampy mess, completely submerged in a dark magic circle. Skeletons float in the foul-smelling black mud, and any life that dares to overstep its bounds will surely perish.

The academy headmaster led the saints from the hall to the city wall to close the wormhole, while the other instructors surrounded the swamp and went their separate ways.

"Such an evil aura... it's the Black Lich's Heart-Eating Array! How come he's still alive? Could today truly be the end of the Wings of Freedom?"

An elderly scholar with graying hair stroked his beard, his scalp tingling just from looking at the complexity of the abyssal incantation in the sky.

Black Lich!

Just hearing that name sent chills down the spines of many mentors. He was the right-hand man of the Abyss Demon King, and his involvement was indispensable in all his wicked schemes.

"The Heart-Devouring Formation?"

A martial arts instructor tightened his grip on his greatsword, looking on in surprise and uncertainty. "Professor Mona, please tell us how we can break this!"

Professor Mona, with his cloudy eyes, is one of the three tower guardians of the Denton students, a Saint of the [Yin Pool], and a highly respected senior dark magic instructor.

The old professor had seen through all the black lich's tricks, but his face was already pale. He said tremblingly, "It seems that Pei Lun's betrayal didn't happen overnight. He has integrated every holy site in the inner city into the backbone of the great formation, which is simply impossible to break!"

"How could this be? We'll go in right now and slaughter these demons!"

"Yes! Pei Lun must be made to pay the price!"

Many instructors from the Starry Sky Academy were indignant, including several newly-entered Saint Realm experts, most of whom were at least level 15 Soul Spirits, making them a formidable fighting force within the city.

"It's no use. The grand formation is already complete. Our souls will only grow weaker within it. The only way to break it is to completely destroy the five abyssal marks. The Governor's Mansion is just one of them; the others include the Cathedral of Holy Light, the White Emperor's Star Sanctuary, and the Galaxy Ark of the Seven Luminaries Temple..."

The last one is the Mercury Array building where the Wings of Liberty council is located.

Old Mona was unwilling to continue speaking; destroying the five marks was not impossible, it was just that they couldn't do it.

"this......"

The crowd fell silent, realizing the wickedness of the Black Lich and Pei Lun, and the true difficulty in saving the galaxy.

These five marks are all located in the inner city's magic crystal hub.

The Governor's Mansion can be rebuilt after it is destroyed, but what about the Sanctuary of the Stars?

Not to mention the Church of Light and the Altar of the Seven Luminaries Temple, which do not belong to the Federation. Destroying a temple is a serious crime that will be condemned by all believers!

Who would willingly bear the sin of blaspheming the temple and sanctuary?

The fanatics would rather watch the Federation fall in the flames of war than allow them to destroy it.

The arcing meteor streaking across the night sky also received this devastating news. Vivian's pretty face turned pale, and she was torn by inner turmoil.

The way to save their homeland is to destroy the sanctuary of faith. Can they really afford to pay that price?

"Gentlemen, please listen to me. I have complete authority over everything that follows..."

The Holy Archmage's eyes gradually hardened as he prepared to bear all the blame and make a difficult decision.

boom!

A sudden, loud noise erupted from the east, and the sudden change behind it drew the attention of everyone on the Third Central Front.
