Chapter 1089 Opens! The Gate of the Void
Beyond the crystal wall system of the Aegira world, the ineffable, colossal existence—the void—is no longer a distant threat, but has transformed into a gaping maw of abyss that devours everything.
Its immeasurable, writhing dark form has already clung tightly to the world's shimmering barrier.
Countless vanguards, composed of pure void energy and resembling tentacles or pipes, like greedy roots, densely pierced and took root within the world's barrier.
It frantically absorbs the world's primal energy, emitting a silent shriek.
Finally, the sharpest and deepest "kiss" of that gigantic maw slowly and irresistibly touched the weakest edge of the barrier of the Aegira world.
The moment of contact was not a deafening roar, but a chilling, silent "pollution".
The pure barrier of the world, like clear water stained with ink, was instantly stained with a filthy, ominous deep purple.
The contaminated area fluctuated and twisted violently, then emitted a mournful cry that echoed throughout the entire crystal system, like shattering glass—a huge, ferocious crack suddenly burst open, like a wound torn open by an invisible giant claw!
……
At the top of the watchtower, a young elven ranger sentinel was routinely scanning the snow-covered, desolate wasteland with his Eagle Eye spell.
Suddenly, he felt the sky... darken.
It wasn't a cloud cover, but a deeper, more sinister change.
He looked up abruptly, his pupils instantly shrinking to pinpoints!
The originally gray-white sky was now as if it had been splashed with deadly purple ink, spreading and spreading at an alarming speed.
Countless spiderweb-like, glowing purple veins, accompanied by a teeth-grinding "crack" sound, spread and intertwined wildly in the purple-tinged sky, as if the entire dome was collapsing into countless fragments.
"The sky...the sky has cracked open!"
He screamed, a tremendous fear gripping his throat, but in an instant, the training ingrained in his bones jolted him awake.
He practically tumbled and crawled toward the huge bronze alarm bell at the top of the tower, and with all his might, he frantically swung the hammer.
"Thump—! Thump—! Thump—!!!"
The shrill, urgent, and extremely penetrating alarm sounded like the lament of a dying world, instantly shattering the tranquility of Frostridge Watchtower and traveling at the speed of light along the defensive line of the Wailing Wall that stretched for thousands of miles.
Almost at the same moment, all the soldiers patrolling and guarding the city walls were stunned by the apocalyptic scene overhead—the sky shattered and purple light spread.
"By Mother of the World..." A human veteran's spear clattered to the ground, his face ashen.
"The end of the world...it really has come!"
A dwarf warrior gripped his battle axe tightly, his voice trembling, but his eyes were fixed on the shattered sky.
Despite years of preparation and countless rehearsals, when the apocalyptic scene was actually presented before their eyes, a chilling feeling that penetrated to the bone and a momentary panic inevitably spread through the soldiers' hearts.
"quiet!!"
A thunderous roar echoed across the defensive lines, the voices of the commanders of each defense zone, imbued with fighting spirit or magic, forcefully suppressing the soldiers' commotion.
"Take up your weapons! Look at your feet! This is our home! Our world!!"
A lion-man general raised his sword, pointing it at the surging, invisible threat.
"So what if the end of the world comes? Let these damned Void bastards see that the creatures of Aegir will never be slaughtered!"
The roar was like thunder, awakening the courage in the soldiers' blood.
The brief panic was quickly replaced by an iron will.
All soldiers, whether human, orc, elf, or dwarf, instantly entered a state of maximum combat readiness.
The visor fell, weapons were drawn, bows and crossbows were cocked, mages took their positions, and alchemical turrets were charged...
Countless figures moved and deployed at high speed on the wide city wall according to the plan that had been practiced countless times. A chilling killing intent instantly replaced the panic and solidified in the biting cold wind.
Behind the defensive line, the sky was fluctuating violently.
Several figures exuding powerful pressure appeared instantly.
They were the core members of the Night's Watch.
Cana, God Popote, Archon Alyris, Abyss General Lelia, Apis.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lelia and Apis flashed like two shooting stars, crashing into the core command node and weakest point of the Frostspine Watchtower. Their powerful strength would directly merge into the flesh and blood of the defense line.
Alyris hovered in the air, her gaze briefly meeting Kana's.
Kana's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he nodded slightly.
Apis transformed into a crimson blood shadow, instantly merging into the intricate energy nodes and soldier formations of the defense line below.
Her very existence is an invisible barrier and a source of strength.
As the governor, she should have been overseeing the overall situation from the rear, but at this moment, the world's first wound was being torn open, and she had to stand with the soldiers on the front lines.
In the end, only Kana and Poppot remained suspended high in the sky, like unchanging stars, silently watching the beginning of the apocalypse.
As native deities, their power is the cornerstone of protecting the world, but it is also a double-edged sword. If they directly intervene in the war of the material world with all their might, it is very likely to provoke the will of the void, bringing about a more terrifying and irresistible backlash, pushing the apocalypse directly into an irreversible abyss.
Their battlefield, in a higher dimension, lies in maintaining world rules, expanding divine sanctuaries, and providing strategic-level support.
At this moment, they are the anchor of strength for the soldiers on the front lines, the embodiment of "God is with us".
Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the northwest, towards the "Silent Bay," the outermost edge of the Taril continent—the point where the first major rift was predicted to erupt in the Kana prophecy.
On the horizon of the silent bay, a thin line, more profound than the night, appeared out of nowhere, stretching straight down from the highest point of the sky.
The moment the line appeared, glaring purple cracks spread across its entire body like a virus.
Immediately afterwards, this contaminated "thin line" suddenly collapsed and expanded.
Space collapsed inward like fragile glass, forming a black hole that kept spinning and devouring light. Then, the black hole itself could not withstand the enormous pressure and exploded.
A door, a terrifying "Void Gate" thousands of meters high, connecting to endless nothingness and flowing with foul purple light, officially opened above the silent bay.
Like a chain reaction, at the very moment the main gate opened, countless large and small purple cracks, like ugly scars, burst open densely across the sky, ice plains, and even the distant sea of the Taliel continent.
Every crack is an outlet from which destruction surges forth!
"Roar--!!!"
Accompanied by countless inhuman roars filled with greed and destructive instincts, purple tides gushed forth from every fissure.
Leading the charge were endless, distorted, four-legged crawling creatures covered in purple crystals, which instantly blanketed the ice like a swarm of hungry insects. The first to collide with this purple frenzy were not the Alliance's ironclad defenses, but the already ferocious and bloodthirsty primal beasts of the ice plains—Frost-Armored Crocodile Bears, Giant Rock Golems, Frost Mammoths…
Driven even more mad by the apocalyptic atmosphere, these colossal beasts roared as they charged toward the void creatures. With their ferocious power and resilient bodies, they tore through the purple waves, creating bloody clearings. Their giant claws slammed, their fangs bit, and the sound of crystals shattering filled the air.
However, the bravery of an individual appears so insignificant in the face of an endless swarm of insects.
The number of void creatures was simply too great. They disregarded casualties and charged forward relentlessly, like viscous purple asphalt, quickly engulfing the giant beasts that were struggling to resist.
The ferocious roar was quickly drowned out, torn apart, and swallowed up...
The purple tide surged almost without pause, crushing over the remains of the behemoth, carrying a chilling will to destroy all life, and rushed toward the brightly lit Sighing Barrier defense line in the distance, which radiated intense fluctuations of life and order.
Ahead, as far as the eye could see, the ice field had been completely stained a writhing, filthy, dark purple. The true apocalyptic scene had arrived.
"Target has entered the pre-set kill zone!!"
On the defensive line, the voices of commanders at all levels resounded across the battlefield through loudspeaker arrays.
"All ranged units—ready!!"
The first to unleash their power were the floating mage towers behind the defensive line.
The layers of defensive arrays surrounding the tower shone with blinding light, and the giant energy focusing device at the top of the tower emitted a deep and terrifying hum.
A massive amount of magic was being frantically extracted, even causing a brief vacuum distortion in the air around the tower.
A blinding orb of light, varying in color, coalesced at the top of the tower, containing destructive power.
"Fire—!!"
The moment the order was given, the first wave of attacks arrived!
Breath of Frost!
Several floating towers fired out huge, ice-blue energy balls.
They sliced through the air, precisely striking the most densely packed leading edge of the purple wave.
The moment it landed, it didn't explode, but rather froze completely.
The terrifying cold energy was released instantly, and the ice layer of the earth emitted a deafening cracking sound. Countless thick, sharp, giant ice spikes that shimmered with a cold blue light burst out of the ice like a forest, covering an area of several square kilometers.
Thousands upon thousands of void crawlers were instantly pierced, pinned, and frozen by ice spikes.
Immediately afterwards, these ice spikes seemed to be injected with unstable energy and exploded with a roar.
The chain of ice explosions froze and shattered monsters in a wider area, filling the air with deadly, soul-freezing ice crystals and mist.
The subsequent waves were visibly slowed and stiffened.
The earth is enraged!
Almost simultaneously with the ice explosion, another batch of floating towers released an earthy yellow halo.
The terrifying earthquake spell spread along the ice field, and the area shrouded in cold mist and covered with broken ice instantly resembled a boiling sea.
The solid ice layer cracked, arched, and collapsed like a biscuit, forming bottomless ravines and rolling "earth waves".
Those void creatures, frozen and sluggish, either fell directly into the cracks and were crushed into dust, or lost their balance in the violent earthquake, colliding and trampling each other, causing chaos in their formation.
Thunder and storm.
A third wave of attacks followed.
Thick, dark clouds were instantly summoned by magic, shrouding the battlefield.
Cold raindrops mixed with tiny ice crystals fell.
Immediately afterwards, ten thousand thick, dazzling silver snakes tore through the dark clouds and violently slashed into the chaotic purple waves below.
Lightning was perfectly conducted in the damp, metallic-skinned environment, and bolts of electricity leaped and exploded wildly among the monsters.
Frozen and then struck by lightning, a large number of low-level void creatures were instantly reduced to ashes.
The elemental inferno formed by the three-layered attack, with ice, earth, and lightning having just ravaged the city walls, was just beginning to roar with firepower.
The mages unleashed a barrage of fire.
In the middle of the city wall, a huge array of mages from various races simultaneously waved their staffs.
Fireball, Wind Blade, Arcane Missiles, Acid Arrow, Holy Strike...
Multicolored magical light poured down like a torrential rain, falling into the monster horde, which was weakened by the elemental environment, and creating a series of death flowers of elemental explosion.
Alchemy cannons roared.
The alchemical turrets, shimmering with runes, spewed out beams of scorching energy, explosive projectiles, and corrosive acid, carving scorched tracks of death across the icy plains.
Archers and soldiers equipped with Night's Watch standard alchemical firearms pulled the triggers, unleashing a dense barrage of arrows and deadly bullets, precisely targeting and eliminating the small and medium-sized monsters that had slipped through the elemental storm.
The Sighing Barrier, painstakingly built by the World Alliance, demonstrated a stunningly powerful coordinated defense during the first wave of the Void invasion.
The surging purple tide was as if it had crashed into an invisible dam, and was forcibly stopped on the ice field, which was still quite a distance from the city wall. The broken ice, scorched earth and monster remains piled up like mountains, but not a single monster was allowed to actually get close to the city wall.
However, before the joy of victory could even rise, an invisible, sharp buzzing sound, sharp enough to pierce the soul, swept across the entire battlefield without warning!
"Whoosh—buzz—!!!"
Every soldier, regardless of race or rank, felt as if their head had been struck by an invisible hammer, their mind going blank for a moment, with only the maddening, nauseating buzzing in their ears.
The intense psychological impact was accompanied by an indescribable sense of fear, like a cold, venomous snake burrowing into the depths of one's heart.
Although the Night's Watch had provided advance training in mental protection techniques and simple devices, most soldiers managed to recover within a second or two. However, the oppressive feeling stemming from the disparity in their life levels made everyone feel suffocated.
They couldn't help but look towards the largest void gate, suspended above the silent bay.
A massive, despair-inducing shadow was slowly emerging from the purplish-black vortex within the door.
That was a... whale?
Or perhaps it was something that once belonged to a whale.
Its body is nearly a thousand meters long and as tall as a mountain, covered with constantly writhing and growing dark purple tumors and hideous purple energy crystals.
Countless tentacles of varying lengths, covered with suckers and mouthparts, spread out from all parts of its body, dancing in the air like seaweed.
It has no eyes, only a huge mouth that takes up most of its head and is covered with spiraling teeth, which is now opening and closing, emitting that maddening buzzing sound.
It is not physical flesh and blood, but rather a polymer of some kind of energy and twisted matter, exuding a nauseating abyssal aura.
