Chapter 479: Chapter 278: Divine Abomination
"The various Wizard Influences held talks and decided to divide the head of the Highly Poisonous King equally."
The day after arriving at the mountain forest, Cyril brought Sunan the news.
"Divide equally, huh..."
Sunan’s eyes flickered slightly.
This result was not unexpected.
The body of a Divine Spirit is fundamentally different from ordinary creatures, lacking any concept of vital points or crucial organs.
The head, throat, and heart are no different from other body parts.
A head is no more precious than four limb fragments of the same size.
So it is not surprising to equally share the Highly Poisonous King’s head.
Presumably, because there are too many participating Wizard Influences, none has the confidence to monopolize it, leading to the equal division agreement.
"How many unaccounted Divine Corpse fragments are likely remaining?" Sunan asked again, "I assume you’ve tallied the numbers of Divine Corpse fragments, right?"
Cyril looked at Sunan with surprise, unable to help but remark, "Sometimes I really suspect you are a seasoned wizard alive for five or six thousand years, having such a profound understanding of the conduct of various Wizard Influences."
"Indeed, we exchanged information; only the head remains to be acquired. Once obtained, the completion of the Highly Poisonous King’s Divine Corpse will be fully assembled."
Lize suddenly asked with curiosity, "Which Wizard Influence has collected the most Divine Corpse fragments?"
Cyril spread his hands and said, "The Star Spirit Bell Tower, their efficiency in matters related to Divine Spirits is always phenomenally high."
After some casual chat, Cyril brought the topic back on track.
"Tomorrow, all the Wizard Influences will dispatch some of their forces to cooperate in resolving the divine creatures in the mountain forest."
"Lord Ronin has instructed that this battle doesn’t require the participation of affiliated organizations. You can prepare for withdrawal. Once we acquire the head of the Highly Poisonous King and secure our share, this struggle will conclude. At that point, you may leave the Earth Crystal Plane."
After delivering the message, Cyril didn’t linger, and hurriedly returned to the Wisdom Code base to prepare for the upcoming battle.
"It’s finally coming to an end." Lize exhaled lightly.
This was her first time commanding a planar war and the only commander with more power was Sunan, so the pressure she bore was immense.
Although the struggle lasted just over six months, it felt like an exceedingly long time to her.
"Ending, huh..."
Sunan’s eyes flickered slightly.
He was now increasingly convinced that the trigger for the Wizard civil war was likely the Highly Poisonous King’s head.
This operation might not go as smoothly as Cyril and the others imagined.
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing Sunan deep in thought, Lize queried in confusion.
Sunan shook his head and said, "Have all forces board the Wizard Tower, Stellar Fortress, and Magic Ship, ready to withdraw at any moment."
After more than half a year of combat, the Star Alliance’s Golem Legion had suffered significant losses, greatly reducing in number, but had gained twelve Wizard Towers ’contributed’ by the Black Rope Tower. Now, even without the Magic Cube, the Star Alliance’s Wizard Towers and warfare creations are more than sufficient to transport all forces.
Giving Sunan a puzzled glance, Lize didn’t say much, nodded in agreement, and turned around to carry out the orders.
...
The next day, at noon.
A group of Wizards gathered at the mountain forest entrance.
Taking into account the divine creatures they would face, the minimum Wizards dispatched by various Wizard Influences were level two.
At the forefront stood about a dozen True Spirit Descendants, primarily the leaders of various Wizard Influences.
The Spiritual Power of over a hundred elite Wizards wove together, forming a powerful Spiritual Force Field that enveloped the mountain forest, creating a pervasive sense of oppression even from a distance.
Sunan gazed from afar, watching as over a hundred Wizards flew into the mountain forest under the leadership of the True Spirit Descendants.
Soon, violent Energy Particle fluctuations erupted within the mountain forest.
According to Cyril, there were over sixty divine creatures wandering in the mountain forest, representing the largest scale encountered so far.
Among them were many at level two, and even two or three at level three.
Yet, in the face of an overwhelmingly strong lineup of top-tier Wizard Influences, the divine creatures were still not a match.
Sunan could clearly sense the rapid decline of divine energy fluctuations within the forest.
Approximately half an hour later, the Energy Particle fluctuations in the forest completely ceased, signaling the end of the battle.
All that remained was to enter the cave and secure the head of the Highly Poisonous King, marking the operation as a complete success.
"Next, let’s see what secrets lie hidden in the cave."
A ghostly light flickered in Sunan’s eyes and then vanished.
...
At the same time, the alliance of Wizard Influences had already reached the cave entrance.
As the dense divine energy emanated from the cave, a faint trace of joy simultaneously appeared in the eyes of the True Spirit Descendants led by Ronin and Bo Wen.
Ronin and Bo Wen exchanged glances and stepped into the cave together.
Both were outstanding figures among the young generation of True Spirit Descendants, naturally considered the leaders of their respective factions in this operation.
To prevent any manipulation by the other party, this final step had to be undertaken together.
The other Wizards waited outside.
The cave wasn’t large, only two to three hundred square meters, with uneven walls filled with sharp protrusions and the ground bearing many wild animal footprints, evidently left by the divine creatures from outside.
As soon as they entered the cave, Ronin and Bobben’s gaze was immediately drawn to something on the ground deep within the cave.
