Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 727 - 626: Dividing the River for Governance

The magnificent blue-golden sun quietly rose into the high sky.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield below was already clearly visible.

Besides the crowd of Spiritual Demons that had been indiscriminately wiped out by [Solar Flame], two Senior Wizards of the "Poison Plague School" were also blown apart directly by a group of Tier 4 Supernaturals who were now freed.

Angie even used [Witchcraft: Cleaning] for lab sterilization to kill the activity of every fungal cell in the remains of the "Mushroom People." Even if they had left some tissue elsewhere, it was completely impossible for them to grow to their current state again.

Taking a step back, we can just wait for the teacher to return and directly supply him with a [Bloodline Curse].

At this moment, the girl, including all the soldiers, officers, and three Alchemists with their upper bodies still intact and safe from harm, were looking up at the sky, where tonight's final battle was already taking place.

Even if Aiven was nearly taken away in one blow by the "Wild Bull God," not a single person believed Aiven could lose, especially with that "Sun," clearly an ally, whose details were temporarily unknown.

This was a series of victories led by Aiven, gradually building them an unending confidence.

And indeed, so was the case.

Gulp!

Seeing Aiven's face, the "Wild Bull God" Bello swallowed uneasily, locked by the combined force of Sword Qi and killing intent, involuntarily recalling the fear governed by that great explosion from the past.

Even across several kilometers, he could feel its earth-shattering power, watching helplessly as the entire island vanished into ashes.

Simply an unprecedented nightmare within hundreds of years of memory!

At this point, even with the strongest trump card [Divine Name Chant], it couldn't remotely harm that massive entity behind him whose true form couldn't be seen clearly.

He didn't even fully understand how they had appeared.

Though it hadn't been even a year, this human was completely different compared to when he was being hunted jointly by himself, the Giant Falcon God, and the Sea Serpent God—there was a real risk of falling if he wasn't careful.

Bello didn't even have the thoughts of testing further, with only one idea in his mind.

And that was... escape!

Whoosh——

Unhesitatingly, before the last word of Aiven's sentence was finished, the brilliant red divine light rose from the "Wild Bull God" and enveloped him, breaking through the air swiftly towards the north.

However.

His speed was fast, but the speed of the activated Sword Qi elf in Aiven's hand was even faster.

Swoosh——

A blinding white light like a soaring White Dragon shot out, arriving first, gently encircling the body of the "Wild Bull God."

At the same moment, accompanied by the sound of countless birds flapping in the northern sky, an urgent female voice arrived belatedly:

"Stop!"

However, the "Wild Bull God," easily sliced into two by Sword Qi and falling to the ground, was not dead, just like the Alchemists possessing [Prosthetic Bodies].

Crackle, crackle...

His body rapidly disintegrated into a pile of rubble, then rolled back together, forming a completely intact human-like but slightly smaller granite "Wild Bull God."

Leaving only a small pile of debris in place, still retaining sharp Sword Qi.

[Divine Skill: Earth Elementalization]

"Lady, save me!"

But before the "Wild Bull God", having seen hope, could shout for help and continue escaping towards reinforcements.

Boom!

From the dazzling great sun in the high sky emerged a "Sunspot", transforming into a golden Celestial Horse wrapped within a gigantic blue-white ball of fire, descending from the sky with the heavy pressure of a comet fall, completely covering the granite "Wild Bull God."

[Ability: Celestial Horse Fall]

And after elementalization, this Totem God's Life Force was indeed resilient.

Squelch... squelch...

Under the heavy pressure that seemed real, Bello bent deeply in the flames, struggling step by step to escape this fiery hell.

But his body in over 1500 degrees of flame was beginning to rapidly soften, with eyes like two charred coals staring at a large group of reinforcements already in sight.

Driven by infinite desire for survival, he slowly extended his right hand already in a molten state.

Uncertain whether he wanted them to pull him up.

However.

Whack!

A golden hoof larger than a round table suddenly descended from the sky, stomping him soft and squishy into sludge. The sandy riverbed began bubbling and boiling, merging completely with the "Wild Bull God."

Clearing off the last trace of his presence in the world.

[Legendary Battleship: Emerald Coronet] has only one long-range attack method similar to common warships, which is [Celestial Horse Fall], capable of crushing everything with irresistible power and high temperature.

The cost is that each separation of a Celestial Horse decreases the flight speed of [Sun Chariot Celestial Patrol] by a quarter, and all four separated will cause direct fall.

When forced to return to sea surface navigation, merely unfurling a single Solar Sail yields a meager regular speed of 18 knots.

Only by using the associated ability [Star Track], can the speed reach 30 knots like [White Shark Patrol], limitation: can be used indefinitely under sunshine or starlight, ineffective in cloudy and rainy weather.

In terms of attack capability, besides considering its robust Legendary Battleship Skill, it resembles more a Holy Knight disguised as a warship.

Beyond the [Devotion Aura] and [Solar Flame], there is lastly a [Combat Holy Seal].

Effect: Grants a specified person the strength blessing of War God Bellenus, with increasing power amplification the longer they withstand in combat. However, must endure the will impact of War God Worshiper (innumerable fanatical warriors) at all times, something only steadfast warriors can bear.

The entire warship had not used any man-made cannons or ammunition, as any explosives in such an environment were extremely dangerous.

However, both Aiven and Anita felt that concentrating their advantages wasn't a bad thing. The era-defining air supremacy alone was worth the price.

The benefits they scraped together with their skills, even if it exceeded the expectations of Saint Angel Bellenus, couldn't be contested. Achieving this level of accomplishment on a warship carefully constructed for his "divine position" might even invoke a sense of pride.

Hmm, perhaps...

After dealing with the final enemy, Aiven looked north and signaled to Anita on the warship.

"It seems our new neighbors have arrived."

Then he descended to the ground.

Soon.

Flap flap flap—

A huge flock of crows swooped in, covering the sky.

Caw caw caw...

Magic spiritual light continuously blossomed, and these giant crows transformed in front of Aiven into shaman wizards draped in feathered ceremonial robes. Surprisingly, although most were Atrean people, a significant number were white-skinned Nimansite people.

Clearly, the high-rank totem god who established the "Mourning Church," known for adeptly learning foreign cultures and adapting to external changes, was not merely putting on a show.

Seeing the opposing formation, without Aiven's command, Robert and William had already directed the soldiers to swiftly reload ammunition and reform ranks behind Aiven.

These elite soldiers, forged in the crucible of blood and fire, exuded a momentum even stronger than the opponents!

A gap opened in the scattered formation of shaman wizards, and a tall beauty gracefully walked out.

Her long black hair was coiled high at the back, her face adorned with blue lipstick and purple eyeshadow, her slender figure wrapped in a black Nimansite style evening gown, holding a matching lace parasol.

From appearance, attire to demeanor, she seemed every bit a charming Nimansite noblewoman.

However.

Looking at her newly subordinated but already dead men, now mixed with shards of glass beyond recognition, the "Lady Crow" Yehe Er exuded a cold aura, revealing that her mood was anything but pleasant.

Yet, just as her subordinates anticipated the goddess's retaliation against this man in vengeance for the "Wild Bull God" Bellow.

"Lady Crow," staring into Aiven's eyes and above his head, exhaled deeply and slowly opened her mouth to speak in the common Tulip language, saying something surprising to both parties:

"Great Wizard, why don't we keep to ourselves and govern separately along the Niagara River?"

With some of her top combat forces easily killed before her eyes, Yehe Er couldn't possibly not be infuriated nor disinclined to assert the dignity of her god.

The reason she ultimately said this was because, in a fleeting moment.

From this man who once counterattacked "Death God" Wuhao, nearly obliterating a high-rank totem god with one strike, she saw things she couldn't ignore.

If the blessing from the divine creature "King of Sea Monsters" was implicit, then the overt, bold presence of Saint Angel Bellenus's [Divine Shelter] was overt to the point of... overbearing!

Ordinary extraordinaries, even with spiritual vision or various detection magic, would not notice a thing.

But to a high-rank totem god one step away from demigod status, a golden-winged "Black Iron Cross Badge" blatantly broadcasted a signal around—this little brother is under my protection!

That was a warning from a powerful demigod.

If that were all, there would be no need for excessive caution, as long as no direct action was taken against him personally.

But a high-ranked wizard with a [True Name] possessed enough power for her to take seriously. Especially as Wuhao sank into silence, the increasingly strong [Death] authority unmistakably indicated the direct involvement of this man in the downfall of a Tier 4 Transcendent.

Additionally...

With a glance at the golden and azure sun, Yehe Er, who wasn't closed off to external information, had already discerned its essence.

'This should be the national treasure from a civilized nation on the Source Continent, with each warship rivaling a Tier 4 Transcendent's Legendary Battleship, correct?'

Though this world had no saying about "sons of wealthy families not sitting under the eaves," the logic was essentially the same.

In this world, strength is the most respected!

Hence, she acknowledged Aiven's qualification to share the land, and she wouldn't intervene in any coastal regions from here to the south.

After a brief surprise, Aiven nodded in agreement to the proposal:

"Agreed."

While he no longer lacked resistance in front of a high-rank totem god, this was an existence nearing demigod status among Tier 4 extraordinaries, and he had no interest in fighting to the death with her.

Both are individuals with family and obligations, so mutually restraining each other and coexisting peacefully became the most suitable choice.

Furthermore.

Culture, system, technology, and similar things are like genetics. Blind isolationism and exclusionism is like inbreeding, leading to deformity and early death. If nothing unexpected happens, this rule-breaking "Lady Crow" is undeniably formidable in the future.

"Then, Lady Yehe Er, let us seal the pact."

With the unexpectedly smooth negotiation complete, the tense atmosphere between the two sides immediately relaxed.

Much later.

The two parties, having reached an agreement and reestablished territorial boundaries, withdrew.

A huge fierce tiger slowly emerged from the dense forest on the side, being "Fierce Tiger Spirit" Uwakala worshipped by the nearby Iroquois people.

On its majestic tiger face was a hint of worry:

"I thought that by driving a portion of evil spirits here, just making the living conditions thoroughly worsen, these Tulip people would retract their influence, but I didn't expect to drive away the hungry wolves only to encounter a giant dragon!

These fellows are allies of the Huron, mortal enemies of the Iroquois..."

Among the tripartite forces, the Iroquois have seemingly become the weakest party.
