Where countless human settlents serve as boundaries, the starlight grows denser in areas with more nurous and bustling Professionals.
At this mont, looking at the land covered in starlight, Anvis suddenly had a feeling. It was as if he stood before a trendously vast chessboard where everything underfoot and in his sight was but a diminutive piece that could be effortlessly controlled.
It was also as if facing an enormously grand stage, where everything else rely played supporting roles or walk-ons, there solely to highlight his own radiance.
Of course, this feeling arrived swiftly and disappeared just as quickly.
Thinking of his current strength, and then of the enemy he faced, his heart imdiately filled with modesty and restraint.
Even if this world truly was a chessboard for so entity, then he, trapped beneath the Sky Peak Barrier, was at best just one of the pieces on the board, not even the lynchpin of the mont.
Shaking his head, Anvis turned to look into the distance.
In the far-off horizon, at the sa height as him, a dozen bright stars, like the Silver Moon, surrounded the central sun-like main star, seemingly engaging in so kind of Secret Magic Ceremony.
At the sa ti, in Anvis’s observation, many Ninth Rank were already rushing there, ready to nip it in the bud.
Judging from their number, it’s likely not just the Ninth Rank strength of the many Prophets of the Federation; the two other great Empires of the continent had also noticed the drastic changes in the Net of Destiny and started to secretly send Ninth Rank teams into the Federation, prepared to opportunistically intervene.
At the mont, that mysterious Prophet’s degree of interference with the Net of Destiny had already broken through sixty.
"Is the most crucial battle finally about to begin?"
Anvis gazed at the distant horizon, where by now it was not only illuminated by the starlight seen from Fate’s perspective, but truly ablaze with light.
"...It really is quite the grand show, Councilman Far."
The terrifying magical radiance that shot to the sky, along with the massive Magic Fluctuation, could still be felt by Anvis, even from a great distance, as the aftermath of that powerful magic.
However, even as the scale of the battle has grown so imnse, those stars in Anvis’s line of sight still shone as brightly as ever.
Clearly, for this night’s event, the Council’s side had made ample preparations.
Thus, in this epic drama staged across the entire Federation, the legendary frightening Resistance Organization ’Truth Circle’ naturally could not be absent.
With a thought from him, a figure wearing a pale mask and cloaked in a black hooded cloak suddenly appeared at his side.
An incredibly vivid Ninth Rank Rule aura exuded from the figure’s body.
This was not his usual Flesh Clone, but a special clone modified using the Ninth Rank Limit corpse he was temporarily keeping for Landon.
Although the Dark Crow before had consud most of its Rule Power, the remaining part was enough to prove his ’Ninth Rank Limit’ Identity.
After ntally linking with the clone, it vanished in an instant, heading towards that direction now illuminated by magical radiance.
anwhile, his original body began to remotely connect all the Rune Arrays previously arranged in the Magic Crystal Mine, ready to activate them at any mont.
He had actually been prepared for today’s scene well in advance.
Elsewhere, at the location where many Stars of Destiny were converging, the battle on the Prophet’s side had already entered a stalemate at the mont.
The vast Defensive Magic Array flickered with brilliance in the sky, with a spherical light barrier surrounded by luminescent blue Runes, now shining almost blindingly white like an unscalable barrier against all external attacks.
It was a colossal Defense Magic Array constructed by the joint hands of nurous Ninth Rank and Ninth Rank Limit, possessing an extrely strong magic deflection and absorption effect, and sheerly unbreakable by these disparate Ninth Rank.
The Prophet’s side had even employed ultimate weapons beyond Ninth Rank, but under the empowernt of the entire chanical network at this mont, even those Limit-breaking weapons were ineffective against that barrier.
At the core of the Array, nurous Ninth Rank of the Council were following the instructions of the Councilman, communicating with the chanical network through the crown-shaped headband.
Transforming oneself into a vessel, one gathers as much of the enormous spiritual power from the assembly network as possible.
Originally, they didn’t have much of an idea about the assembly network. But when they truly felt the trendous strength gathered by the network, the confidence of the nurous Ninth Rank beings imdiately soared.
"...What wonderful strength! In such a state, I even have the confidence to clash with a true Ninth Rank Limit!"
Feeling all external attacks render ineffective, a Ninth Rank being, looking sowhat like a Sub-dragon, exclaid excitedly.
The sensation of power, swelling and full to the point of almost overflowing within one’s body, was undeniably real. Even just a small portion of the leaking power was enough to maintain an Array that could stop attacks exceeding the limit.
"Ninth-Rank Limit? Those are opponents we of the present need not consider any longer."
Upon hearing his words, at the core of the gigantic Array surrounded by eight platinum inscribed spires, the Councilman leading the Superposition Secret Technique Ceremony shook his head.
"Pay them no mind; just as ants cannot stop a river, the strength we now possess has completely surpassed that of this era.
It’s a collective consciousness ford by the unified willpower of nearly a hundred million Network Connectors across half the Federation. If considered as a single entity, its strength has already far surpassed the Ninth Rank.
Were we to gather its full strength into a single magic spell, only then would we truly have hope to break through this invisible do that bounds us."
"Of course, this strength can only be used once tonight, and our enemies will never allow the assembly network to persist."
Hearing the Councilman’s words, the eyes of many Ninth Rank beings flickered.
Although reluctant to let go, from a rational standpoint, this might not be a bad thing for them.
Being able to use it just once signifies that after tonight, regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, everyone will still return to the original starting line.
Otherwise, they would only have to fight over the ownership of the assembly network’s control.
Glancing at the Ninth Rank beings who had once again fallen silent, the Councilman turned his head to look into the distance on one side.
In that direction, the Sky City of the Magic Council was faintly visible through the clouds, reflecting a soft silver moonlight.
With less than half an hour remaining for the unprecedented superposition magic to be fully completed.
And the mont the magic is completed will be when the Grey Mist breaks through the limitations of a Ninth Rank Prophet.
Stargazer... what will you do now?
....
Elsewhere, within Sky City, Mystic Seeker Orvani likewise sensed sothing.
Since Stargazer Brents began his retreat to recuperate, he and Veronica have been alternating the duty of overseeing Sky City.
Now, even though he is not a Prophet, as a Ninth Rank Limit, he too could vaguely sense the significant disruption occurring within the Net of Destiny.
Simultaneously, the Star of Destiny left to him by the Stargazer was also growing hot to the touch.
Thinking of what Orvani told him, that this star contained the power of three Prophecy Skills, Orvani tried to activate it. With a flicker of light, invisible ripples of destiny spread out like water waves from the Net of Destiny.
And so, the operation of the Array on the Councilman’s side encountered a slight issue.
A Rune suddenly collapsed, which in turn triggered an entire chain reaction.
Even as the Councilman imdiately intervened, stabilizing the Array structure that was losing control, the process that had been set up for nearly half an hour almost went to waste, greatly slowing down the progress.
Therefore, Orvani activated the Star of Destiny two more tis.
