As the armies gathered from various nations struggled to resist the catastrophic tide of the Abyss on the front lines, another group had already arrived directly above the ruins of the once Spryce City.

“Wow… it actually turned into this kind of appearance, a bit absurd.”

Floating in the airspace above the once-floating island, Violet looked down at the enormous abyss known as the Abyssal Well. Behind her, her angelic and beautiful white wings fluttered gently, surrounded by familiar faces.

The group wasn’t large, consisting of less than ten individuals, including Violet, Xiao Guang, Leila, Rene, and other white-feathered individuals. They were the second wave of reinforcements from the distant Sky Island.

The first wave had naturally been urgently dispatched on the night of the incident and was currently cooperating with local forces and foreign reinforcements in the forbidden zone, struggling to resist the advance of the Abyss.

Unlike the previous large armies, those who came this time were all top-notch experts, strong enough to be called superiors. They not only possessed flexible and agile flying abilities but also surpassed the Royal Feather Guards. They were all at the legendary level.

Yes, legendary-level.

Among them, apart from Violet and others who joined on their own, and the leader Sigrid, there were four other legendary experts, all of whom were the hidden forces deep within the Azure Sky Kingdom.

They were all exclusively white-feathered winged individuals, dressed in white ceremonial robes similar to the Divine Sacrament, yet different, wearing hooded caps, exuding a concentrated aura, almost identical to the style of the High Priest.

The Guardians of the Sky Temple.

If one had to insist, they were somewhat similar to the United Human Kingdom’s 【Sin Wardens】. They were a top-secret force that would never reveal itself unless it was a matter of life and death.

Including Little Ink, along with another Four-Winged individual that Violet hadn’t met, these two legends had followed the Feathered Emperor’s command and urgently rushed to the front line on the night of the incident. As for the other Four-Winged individual, Hilda, she had been missing since the destruction of Spryce Island and was likely to have tragically fallen.

Now, including Sigrid, the last Four-Winged individual, and even the four dormant Temple Guardians, have stepped onto the front lines. Apart from the Feathered Emperor, who has yet to personally lead the troops, the top-level forces of the Azure Sky Kingdom can be said to have fully invested in the war against the Abyss.

In this joint operation, they are the most serious and dedicated side.

It can be said that the Feathered Emperor has truly emptied the treasury this time. If these legends fall in the battlefield against the Abyss, the Azure Sky Kingdom is likely to be weakened for centuries, possibly falling out of the top five world powers.

After all, in this world, the strength of the top-tier individuals is also an important criterion for measuring a country’s power.

Additionally, the reason Violet appeared here was a decision she came to after much contemplation.

To awaken Sethlin, further understand the relationship between the Goddess of Earth and the Abyss, and apply the right remedy, she needed to help Sethlin find more shattered divine fragments.

So, where are the places known to have these things?

That’s right, Abyss Worms.

Although the quality might not be that great, it could be compensated for by quantity.

It was said that on the front lines of the Abyss, at least ten or more Abyss Worms appeared, causing very painful casualties to the blocking forces. These experts were sent by the Feathered Emperor specifically to deal with those legendary-sized monsters.

So, in the end, the Miss Priestess still came to the front lines.

The diplomatic mission led by Felina remained in the Sky City of the Feathered Emperor, even the Holy Knight who found it troublesome to move without wings was left there. Violet had another task to assign to her.

As for the remaining diplomatic missions from other countries and world celebrities, either they directly returned to their countries, or they temporarily stayed and sent out some of their strong individuals to help.

The Judgment Saintess representing the Holy Empire, Edwina’s sister Frederica, has also arrived on the battlefield. She even arrived earlier than Violet and her group. As for the legendary figure from the Austre Empire, it seems that, in order to ensure the safety of a certain red-haired prince, she directly took him back to their homeland.

The legendary-level figures like the Fox Mevis and the half-dragon Rosa Arnold from the Beastman Kingdom did not go to the northern battlefield. Instead, they stayed in the Sky City. It’s unclear whether the Winged People have really discovered anything.

By the way, this half-dragon called Rosa seems to be female, but Violet couldn’t tell for sure.

Returning to the current situation, through the spatial magic assistance set up by the Winged People, the legendary experts only took less than two days to cross the thousands of kilometers from the Sky Island to the border of the Azure Sky Kingdom.

Spryce Island has completely fallen into the Abyss in that disaster, and the destruction of the city followed by the successive disasters completely confirmed the contents of the prophecy. Without a doubt, it was indeed the true Sealed City.

Although the Abyss launched a massive invasion, due to the unique geographical environment of the Azure Sky Kingdom, the southern regions were not heavily invaded by the Abyss. After slaughtering a few surrounding islands, the enemies did not continue to spread outward.

The reason for this has not been definitively determined yet. Perhaps they intend to first gain significant reinforcement by devouring the densely populated, less mobile life forms in the northern inland areas, and then come back to deal with the challenging situation behind them.

As for the current Abyssal Well, it has undergone significant changes compared to when Violet first saw it. The lush vegetation that once covered almost the entire area inside the Abyssal Wall has completely disappeared, leaving only some charred remains, proving their past existence.

Violet is not entirely sure what this signifies, but the reason is quite understandable – it must be the terrifying red light pillar that rose from the Abyssal Well, surpassing any previous occurrences, with destructive heat that annihilated the entire Spryce Island and killed these plants.

That so-called red light pillar, Miss Priestess had personally encountered it during the Battle of Omo Island. From her subjective experience, the main destructive force lies in concentrated heat, massive energy, and an intensely destructive process similar to fission.

In simpler terms, it’s somewhat like those particle beams or solar rays in comics. However, Violet cannot make a definitive conclusion about the specific principles since she hasn’t witnessed the release and the originator of the phenomenon.

As for the intensity, it’s at least above the 8th order. If it’s stronger here, perhaps it has reached the level of the 9th order, which is practically impossible to counter with human power.

Currently, the only thing Violet has seen that might have the power to resist is the protective barrier of the Sky City.

Moreover, the deep and dark abyss at the bottom of the Abyssal Well is no longer silent as it used to be. There is a constant emergence of a grayish airflow that she finds very familiar, flowing out from the depths.

These gray mists are densely spread across the entire sky above the Abyssal Well, turning this extensive airspace into a dead zone where life is extinguished.

Violet had already heard about the situation here from Sigrid before coming. Originally, they planned to bypass this area and go directly to the battlefield. It’s only because Miss Priestess insisted on checking the situation herself and assured them that nothing would happen that they find themselves in this situation now.

Casually stepping half a pace beyond the golden barrier protecting everyone, Violet sweeps her fair and smooth hand through the gray mist.

“Hmph… a death mist domain where life is extinguished.”
