Soon, the world returned to calm.

But everything had changed.

With Realm Convergence and the fallen divine realm, the world was now vastly larger than before.

The once-separated nine realms had merged into one. Races that had existed only in myth began to appear, proving they were never just legends.

Forest spirits, dwarves, orcs, fairies, seafolk, undead, angels.

One by one, they emerged.

The gods reacted even faster than Caelum had expected. The moment they lost their authorities, they realized a new divine war was inevitable.

They moved immediately.

They gathered their former followers and the races that worshipped them, preparing to reclaim authority. At the same time, they all understood this was also a new opportunity.

Whoever seized enough powerful authorities could rise.

The balance among the gods was about to be reshuffled.

The moment the nine realms and the divine realm fully merged

the divine war began.

The Church worshipped the God of War and naturally belonged to his faction. Upon receiving his command, they mobilized at once. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Their usual rigid doctrine vanished.

They opened their doors to all mages, allowing adventurers to learn advanced magic from the Church.

Using this as leverage, they rapidly recruited and expanded their forces.

They did not hide the truth.

"The war of the gods has begun."

When Derek and Guy heard the news, they were stunned for a moment, then immediately contacted their guild to call in reinforcements.

There was no doubt.

This was a golden opportunity to grow stronger.

With the divine war underway and the Church no longer restricting high level magic, every guild and official organization went into a frenzy.

If someone could obtain even a fraction of divine power, the rewards would be unimaginable.

When the news reached the real world, the reaction was exactly as expected.

All major organizations and guilds poured into the Hero and Magic world, hoping to claim a share of the chaos.

Even if they could not steal divine power, simply learning advanced magic would already be a huge gain.

Opportunities like this were rare.

Of course, this approach made sense.

It was indeed a perfect chance to grow stronger.

But stealing power from the gods was nearly impossible.

In this world, gods were born with Divine Tier power.

No other lifeform could exceed Tier 10 magic.

Even with equipment and items enabling Super Tier and World Tier Magic, the gap between that and Divine Tier was absolute.

In short, targeting the gods was suicide.

Unless one belonged to a god’s faction and received their blessing, granting access to Divine Tier power.

However, it was only nearly impossible.

Millions of years ago, there had been a group of individuals who, without divine blessings, achieved the impossible.

They killed gods through sheer intellect and strength.

A miracle worthy of legend.

Before long, the God of War clashed violently with the God of Sky.

They fought over the two most powerful authorities, war and sky.

The Church followed the God of War’s command and went to war against the angels who served the God of Sky.

Only then did the players truly witness what a divine war meant.

Ash and smoke filled the sky.

The shadow of war covered the entire world.

AXN joined the God of War’s faction to gain access to advanced magic.

During the conflict, a scouting team from AXN was sent out.

Unfortunately, they were discovered by angels.

The moment magic circles formed in the sky, it was already too late.

It was just a single angel, one empowered by the God of Sky.

Yet that was enough to show how terrifying this war was.

Boom!

One strike.

The entire AXN team was wiped out.

The explosion was comparable to a nuclear blast, a massive mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

From a distance, Derek witnessed it with his own eyes.

Instant Super Tier Magic.

And that was only a scouting angel.

In this war, ordinary players were meaningless.

Unless they reached Tier 10 and received divine blessings, they were nothing but cannon fodder.

A Church priest spoke calmly.

"Let’s move. The angels are heading this way."

...

At the same time, the one who had triggered the divine war had already arrived at the angels’ stronghold.

With the God of Sky occupied by the God of War, the opportunity was perfect.

Caelum acted without hesitation.

A massive magic circle spread instantly, covering the entire angel stronghold.

The angels reacted immediately, soaring into the sky in alarm.

"Enemy attack!"

The Archangel’s expression turned grim as he stared at the magic circle.

"This is... Primordial Magic!"

The Church?

No.

Even with the God of War’s blessing, the Church could not instant cast Primordial Magic.

And the God of War would never grant such power.

There was only one possibility.

The Archangel let out a cold snort.

"So a god is trying to take advantage of the chaos."

"Wrong guess."

Caelum revealed himself openly.

Infinite Arsenal unfolded.

Countless high tier magic items hovered around him, ready to strike.

He smiled brightly at the Archangel.

Then attacked without hesitation.

"The gods are busy right now. They don’t have time to worry about you."

In an instant, a storm of Super Tier and World Tier items rained down, bombarding the angel stronghold without mercy.

Seeing that Caelum was just a mortal, the Archangel roared in fury.

"Insolent insect! How dare you challenge the might of the God of Sky! You deserve death!"

The God of Sky?

Caelum did not care.

At least until the Primordial Magic above them faded, the God of Sky would not notice what was happening here.

And that window was more than enough.

He intended to wipe out the entire angel race.

The stronghold’s large defensive magic activated immediately.

But Fatebreaker Wheel reversed.

The defensive magic collapsed instantly.

The Archangel’s pupils shrank.

"What?!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Caelum’s attacks landed in full force.

Countless Super Tier and World Tier spells detonated instantly, their destructive power beyond comprehension.

In a single exchange, nearly seventy percent of the angels were wiped out.

Even the Archangel was injured under the barrage, left in a battered state.
