"Who I am doesn't matter, does it? Rorl... What matters is the reputation of the Star of Magic. All the honor and status you've enjoyed, they've been bestowed upon you by ," declared Augus, beguilingly.
"rely a change in titles. You can still serve as an assistant, or perhaps, 'bishop' suits better..." Augus suggested, undeterred, as he continued to inhabit this body. He found it easy to navigate and handle matters efficiently during this ti. He didn't mind the extra effort in words.
But Rorl gaped, utterly shocked, murmuring incessantly to himself, "This can't be..."
Rorl couldn't accept that everything he knew was false. The Star of Magic, the knowledgeable ntor Augus, was rely an illusion...
Observing Rorl's stunned expression, Augus shook his head. It seed he had overestimated the other's willpower and capacity for acceptance.
"Restraint!" Augus pointed towards Rorl. Considering that after turning Greenrill into a divine kingdom, he could forcibly convert the other into his follower, he didn't intend to kill him.
Having done all this, Augus then glanced around the control room, where a transparent crystal lay atop an alchemical apparatus in the center.
He didn't approach directly; this was the final trap.
Augus opened his mouth, articulating a convoluted incantation.
The elents in the void seed to respond to a summoning, transforming into the purest form of magical energy that surged into the transparent crystal, illuminating it with a cerulean light.
The crystal shattered with a resounding crack, revealing the condensed "Magic Core" insidethe very object he sought.
Crafted by the "Magical Artificer" Victorio, it held vast magical power capable of sustaining the entire city of wizards.
If not for harnessing a portion of Faiz's power and mories in the Realm of Doom and manipulating the Council's defenses using the guise of the Apocalypse Sect, he wouldn't have qualified to reach here.
After all, he still lacked the power to contend with the alliance of several archmages.
Thankfully, everything unfolded as he had anticipated...
"Realm of Doom - The Godly Kingdom arrives!" Augus reached out, seizing the Magic Core. Empowered by the imnse magical energy stored within, his strength surged rapidly.
Eerie spirits with grotesque visages materialized within the spacious control room.
Whether individuals transford years ago by the soul-devouring magic or the wizards devoutly worshipping elental spirits, upon death, their souls would be harvested, becoming a part of his power, augnting his spiritual prowess.
With both rging, he could now unleash this legendary divine magic!
This ti, the blood-red space almost solidified, intertwining with reality and swiftly expanding into the distance, soon shrouding the entire Crown Tower...
Blissfully imrsed in his joy, Augus failed to notice the subtle changes in his appearance, gradually drawing closer to that idol of the malevolent deity...
In his mind, a chorus of voices echoed.
"Great Elental Spirit, grant us salvation..."
"Kill them, exterminate them all..."
"Your loyal servants beseech your rcy, punish those who defy the gods."
"The Apocalypse is false, elental spirits are nonexistent..."
Augus's countenance darkened instantly. Amidst the cacophony of pleas, he surmised that there was trouble brewing in the estate.
Unexpectedly, Kashimo, equipped with an instrunt capable of harnessing so divine kingdom power, couldn't handle such a minor issue.
At least, it bought him so ti; the Godly Kingdom had descended!
...
"What in the world is happening?"
Just as Raphael and the others stepped into the Crown Tower, a streak of crimson light rushed toward them, engulfing the entire tower in a bloody hue.
"Perhaps it's best if we leave," Yulande spat. His encounter within the Realm of Doom had left him jittery.
"It's too late! It's not just this tower that's affected..." Lynn shook her head, peering through the wide-open window at the rapidly spreading crimson glow outside.
Clearly different from earlier events, they weren't simply drawn into a confined space. It remained uncertain if his realm of magic could manifest itself in the real world in such a way.
"Whoever's responsible, once we take them down, it'll all end!"
The one speaking was a polymorphist wizard, also one of the leaders in the assault on the Apocalypse Sect. But compared to Lynn and the others, they had only apprehended so scattered sect mbers fleeing in all directions.
"You still enjoy spouting unrealistic nonsense, Sanchez."
Within the Crown Tower, a disinterested voice chid in. Subsequently, a figure bathed in radiant light erged from the void, addressing the assembled people. "Welco to my Godly Kingdom..."
"Augus?!" Despite the slight alteration in appearance, Sanchez recognized him instantly, his surprise palpable.
Not having seen him at the estate, Sanchez had harbored so ill predictions, but the revelation that the entire Apocalypse Sect was Augus's creation was beyond belief.
"Have you lost your mind, Augus?!" Raphael, equally incredulous, exclaid.
As the Star of Magic, the most prodigious wizard in all of Greenrill, Augus possessed all glory and a promising future. Even Harof, upon departing Greenrill, explicitly designated Augus as the acting Speaker. It was evident; his ascension to becoming the sixth legendary Speaker was rely a matter of ti.
No one would have ever thought such a person capable of betraying the Council...
Yulande and Philip, among others, even questioned if they were hallucinating.
"I think I'm quite well, Raphael!" Augus wore a smile on his face, as courteous as ever. "Better than ever."
"What exactly do you want?!" Raphael demanded in a low voice.
"As you see, I am preparing to turn Greenrill into a Godly Kingdom, and I shall ascend to the divine throne, becoming the second to transcend the limits of a wizard!" Augus relished this mont of glory. As the Godly Kingdom expanded, so did his power, rapidly escalating.
"Raphael, Sanchez, if you're wise... I might consider accepting your faith and grant you positions as cardinals!"
