93: The Fallen! The Chosen!

“Later… hehe~”

Chrono's lips curved into a bitter smile.

“Later, he alone destroyed the entire world. Our beautiful world, our home, can never be returned to. It was utterly annihilated!”

“Only then, did the people of that time realize who the true devil was!”

“Finally, the remaining people formed an alliance, prayed to the gods, and sacrificed everything that could be sacrificed. Only then was that demon cast into the hell dimension and completely sealed…”

Sigh~

Chrono's expression was sorrowful, clearly not wanting to bring up that painful past.

“That was a complete tragedy, and our most painful lesson.”

It was like this?

Mitsui Satoshi's eyes were filled with shock, completely terrified.

“History, can it be so similar?”

“Demon Lord, a fellow who suddenly appeared. His combat power is simply inconceivable. Once he finds a way to cross realms and brings him back to reality, then we…”

Just now, the scene of Demon Lord slaughtering everyone once again appeared in Mitsui Satoshi's mind.

But the location had changed.

It wasn't in Star Moon Palace, but at the foot of Mount Fuji, outside the Imperial Palace!

That scene… so real.

That scenario… so tragic!

No~

Mitsui Satoshi roared from the bottom of his heart.

Just then.

Chrono suddenly became serious, a profound magical light shining in his eyes, and he loudly declared:

“Mitsui Satoshi!”

“Look into my eyes and answer me!”

“Are you willing for such a tragedy to repeat itself?”

Mitsui Satoshi's mind was greatly shaken, and his eyes showed a bloody rage: “No! Absolutely not!”

The magical light in Chrono's eyes instantly turned into endless darkness, but his voice became low, saying: “Then are you willing to sacrifice everything to prevent this tragedy from happening?”

“I am willing!”

Mitsui Satoshi had no hesitation, only anger and determination in his eyes.

“Even if it costs me my life! I must stop that demon! Absolutely, I must kill him~! Kurushii Dairo~!”

Very good.

Chrono showed a satisfied smile.

Immediately after.

The magic circle beneath his feet activated.

Streaks of dark aura condensed and manifested, subtly seeping into Mitsui Satoshi's body.

“Feel the pain, endure the pain!”

“As you are now, you do not yet have the strength to challenge that demon. This is the price you must pay.”

Mitsui Satoshi's eyes were resolute as he roared within the magic circle.

“I can do it, absolutely!”

A moment later.

The magic ended.

Mitsui Satoshi almost fainted to the ground, with only a trace of consciousness remaining.

Chrono showed an appreciative expression.

“Very good.”

“Now, you are barely qualified to shoulder the fate of your world.”

Mitsui Satoshi stood up, surprised, saying:

“10,000 attribute points?”

“Too strong!”

“I feel full of magic now, I can definitely kill him! Now!”

No~

Chrono shook his head and said: “That demon's strength is not something you can deal with right now, and the key to victory or defeat is not here…”

Mitsui Satoshi understood instantly.

“Teacher, are you saying… reality?!”

“But we currently, we currently have no way to cross realms… Could it be you?”

Chrono nodded slightly.

“After learning this history, I was determined to become a spatial mage and have been researching in this area. Now… I have prepared everything I need, the rest is up to you.”

Me?

Mitsui Satoshi, in his confusion, was about to ask a question when his head suddenly throbbed, and a vast amount of knowledge immediately appeared within it. It was about magic, formations, and also faith…

“Why faith?”

“The magic of a magic circle comes from materials. If there are no magic-related materials, you can draw countless formations but still not connect two worlds.” Chrono patiently explained.

“Only faith is a special power that exists in any world.”

“Only faith can support the activation of the magic circle, traversing chaotic time and space to reach eternal.”

“So, as long as the magic circle is activated, the two worlds can officially establish a connection. After that, transmitting anything will be much simpler.”

So that's how it is.

Mitsui Satoshi understood, and immediately knelt to the ground, sincerely saying:

“Teacher, thank you for everything you have done for me.”

“No, I just don't want to see tragedy replayed.” Chrono waved his hand: “Go, child, your homeland, your people, are still in ignorance. Do not resent them, but save them!”

“Yes, I understand!” Mitsui Satoshi thanked him again.

Then.

He immediately went offline.

And rushed directly to the Mitsui Family Group's CEO office.

“Father, I found a way to cross realms!”

What?

Mitsui Takeo suddenly stood up, shocked, then confused.

“Satoshi, are you crazy?”

“Just now weren't you annihilated by Demon Lord's group? How are you running here now…”

Mitsui Satoshi quickly explained everything clearly, even drawing that incredibly complex magic circle on the spot.

“Do you think I could casually learn something like this?”

Hmm…

Mitsui Takeo nodded silently.

His son's talent for learning was indeed average, and he had no artistic sense whatsoever. Even if he studied for a hundred years, it would be impossible for him to draw such a fantastical work that transcended art.

Hahahahaha~!

Mitsui Takeo believed it, and he laughed, his eyes gleaming.

“It seems this time it's not just the nation's destiny, but also the destiny of my Mitsui Family!”

“As long as we can be the first to successfully cross realms, then even wanting to revive the glory of the Edo period wouldn't be impossible!”

.......

At the same time.

West Continent.

Sacred Light Kingdom.

Ex was in the guild mansion, constantly watching the footage sent by his subordinates.

It was Demon Lord in Star Moon Palace, seated on the Crystal Throne, performing a solo massacre.

Players, as weak as chickens.

Kingdom ministers, utterly defenseless.

Magic Association, with a slight bit of resistance, but it was useless, only delaying their death for a while, nothing more.

“Is he really that strong?”

Ex hadn't cared before.

But now.

This scale of massacre video had exceeded his imagination.

Knock knock~

Winnice knocked and entered: “Boss, the Chief Archmage of the Magic Association, Ark White, wishes to discuss something with you.”

Magic Association?

Hiss!

Ex glanced at the video, seemingly understanding something:

“Quick, invite him in!”

Ark White wore a sacred white mage robe, his face calm and gentle, like the most devout priest.

At the same time.

As the Chief Archmage of both the Magic and Holy Temple professions, he constantly emanated a sacred radiance, making it impossible to look directly at him.

Ex smiled and stepped forward.

“I have prayed at the Sacred Light Kingdom many times, but have never been able to see you.”

“As a child under the sacred radiance, how I wish to receive your teachings~”

Sacred Radiance above!

Ark White formed a glowing emblem over his chest in prayer.

Ex also knelt on one knee, listening intently.

Only then did Ark White speak:

“The Lord is omnipotent.”

“The Lord cares for the world.”

“The Lord will never forget any sincere child.”

“The Lord has seen the threat to this world.”

“The Lord has heard your repentance and prayers.”

Ex's heart trembled.

“You mean…”

Ark White reached out and touched Ex's forehead.

Buzz!

In an instant.

Golden radiance fell from the sky, pouring into Ex's body.

“Child, now is the time to show your loyalty.”

“Go and spread the Lord's radiance to every corner of this world!”

All?

Ex looked at the 10,000 attribute points that had appeared out of thin air on his panel, completely shocked.

“Your meaning, I'm afraid, does not refer only to the Sacred Light Kingdom, or the West Continent, does it?”

Ark White smiled slightly, and said kindly:

“The Lord can hear your prayers and calls in any world.”

“Child, the cross-realm power you prayed for will also descend with the Lord's will!”

Thump!

Ex's heart was stirred by a surging tide.

He had never prayed for such a thing.

Could it be that he had accidentally blurted it out in a dream sometimes?

But that wasn't important.

The key was.

The Lord is omnipotent!

The Lord can cross realms!

“I, Ex, pledge everything to my Lord! The Lord's will shall be done!”
