Chapter 1899: Chapter 1899: Eons in a Glance
Most people didn’t find anything strange about this feeling. After all, the game built using Divine Metal itself possesses the power to affect the mind. Not to mention such emotions, it can even make one sense so-called auras, murderous intent, and so on.
Even though everyone was lost in indescribable emotions, the world didn’t stop, and the meteor still fell above the city.
However, when the meteor was only a few hundred yards from the city, it seemed as if it was trapped in a swamp or a torrent of the world.
In everyone’s eyes, those meteors that were rapidly falling formed a stark contrast with those that seemed to be trapped in viscous air.
Moreover, as time passed, more and more silver brilliance seemed to almost gather above the city.
The sky suddenly became silent, without the sound of wind slicing through the air.
But above the city, numerous silver meteors hovered, forming a pattern like a constellation, an enigmatic design that none could comprehend but appeared profoundly mysterious.
Everyone was shocked; anyone could imagine the power of this forbidden spell. Just the first meteor that struck outside the city caused such terrifying damage.
Not to mention these, summoned by the collective spellcasting of millions of spellcasters, which would, after the forbidden spell, likely turn the city into a wasteland of ashes.
By then, even if Starfire won and occupied the place, rebuilding the city would demand an unimaginable cost. Even with the victories from the past few days, rebuilding a main city would be nearly impossible.
However, nobody could imagine that such an irresistible spell would be blocked in such an almost fantastical way.
Everyone was filled with doubts, not knowing what tactics Starfire used. Especially the United Army, who had been beaming with excitement, but upon seeing this scene, they all froze in their tracks.
“What is this…”
That was the question on everyone’s mind, but the question carried an incredible bitterness.
However, soon they understood.
The densely clouded sky suddenly revealed a brightness, and the obscured moon emerged from behind the clouds.
A pillar of light shot down from the moon, descending into the Temple of the Moon God within Dire Maul.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
The light pillar quickly vanished, but before anyone could recover from their shock, a massive amount of meteors seemed to be drawn irresistibly, abruptly shattering above the moon goddess statue at the top of the temple.
The entire temple once stood at the moon goddess’s feet, but with the passage of time, both the Temple of the Moon God and the giant-like Moon Goddess Statue had long been in ruins, overrun with vines and moss.
At this moment, the dust and vines were rapidly dissipating.
And the meteors that gathered and shattered transformed into endless points of light.
With the convergence of light dots, a sacred and ethereal Moon Goddess Statue stood, her hands raised high.
Above her hands, a crescent moon hovered, and as the points of light gathered, the crescent gradually turned into a full moon.
The remaining meteors quickly condensed and shrank, becoming stars.
Some people noticed that the starry sky above Starfire was almost identical to the real sky, and the moon, which had become a full moon, also resembled the real moon in the sky, a half crescent.
Then, everything returned to peace, returning to its original state.
But is it really the same now? Even from outside the city, one could see the sacred sight from the center of Dire Maul, shrouded in soft moonlight, like the Moon Goddess Statue standing on a cloud, with the moon cradled in her hands, resembling a lighthouse in the night, engulfing the entire city in thick moonlight.
Everyone was immersed in the magnificent scenery. With the moonlight’s embrace, the once old city seemed revived, all the dust and traces left by time melting away like snow.
And those derelict buildings rapidly restored, the scene changed wildly, the entire city seemingly reversing through time.
As time flowed backward, the city grew younger and younger until everything halted, and a city, breathtakingly beautiful, appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The city transformed into a pure white, but the whiteness was not dazzling and would not cause discomfort.
Elegant and ancient, yet not devoid of natural beauty, the entire city resembled a fantastical garden, so beautiful that people were immersed, forgetting to breathe.
No matter who it was, at this moment, they were immersed in the shock brought by the city.
Especially those who watched this scene live, falling in love with the city in an instant, with the only thought in their minds being, they must enter the game and visit this city.
After a long while, the people of the United Army finally snapped back to reality; they had come to attack this place, unconsciously feeling a sense of guilt.
“What is this? It’s impossible. What kind of spell can break a forbidden spell?” Even the composed Edward couldn’t help but feel at a loss, as what happened was simply beyond belief.
What could intercept a forbidden spell, dissolving it so effortlessly, and even use the silver meteors to restore the ruined city?
Succubus took a deep breath, knowing that the forbidden spell would pose no threat, but she did not expect this to happen.
She knew the budget for restoring this city, as Starfire had prepared about three billion Gold Coins to repair it, but now, that had been saved completely, even if Starfire’s plan to modify some buildings and add functional structures could save at least two billion.
“We didn’t do anything.” The words of Succubus echoed like thunder among the people.
Not to mention the United Army, even the audience didn’t believe it. For something so magical to happen without doing anything was simply…
“Impossible, breaking the forbidden spell is impressive enough, but there’s no need to insult us like this.” The chairman of the Temple of a Thousand Gods wore a gloomy expression, unable to accept the result.
Succubus finally relaxed and said, “I have no reason to deceive you; your failure this time was due to asymmetrical information.”
“What do you mean?” Edward couldn’t help but ask.
“The reason is simple, because there is an agreement among the deities, which is not to use forbidden spells to destroy temples in cities with a temple. If you rely on powerful individuals or an army to occupy the city and destroy the temple, it’s fine. But if you use a spell of above quasi-forbidden level to obliterate the city, then the deities will intervene. I’m sorry, you violated the deities’ taboo, and your audacity to destroy the Temple of the Moon God has been met with the Moon God’s mercy for not punishing you.”
The chairman of the Temple of a Thousand Gods sneered, “I don’t believe it. The big battle a few days ago, neither the God of Ravens nor Prairie Fire had any issues when they used the power of forbidden spells, so why is it that when we use forbidden spells, something happens? Moreover, according to what you said, if every guild builds a Temple of the Moon God, wouldn’t that be extremely safe?”
Succubus mocked, “Has the heavy blow driven you to madness, or are you truly ignorant? Just because you construct a temple doesn’t mean it has an effect. Leave alone the Temple of the Moon God; without permission from any deity, the temples you build will have no power.”…
