Chapter 1180: Chapter 91: Combat eting_2
Gongsun Ce wrote on the whiteboard [Battle Results]: “Grey’s divine ascension ritual is based on the so-called ‘Civilization Frontline’. By building a passage to connect the Country with the northern continent, she extends the Civilization Frontline with the symbol ‘The United Kingdoms as One’. She then uses her popular support in both nations and Ariel’s song to suppress a large number of humans, linking herself with ‘civilization’ through their psychology of worship. Once this skill is completely achieved, she can beco the totem of the Country.”
Kardesia raised her hand: “What difference does it make to beco a totem?”
“The power soars, and the entire land will beco her shield.” Zhenfan explained from experience, “The injuries of a totemized individual will be reflected on the totem’s ‘territory’, and Grey’s death would lead to the extinction of Albion Island. I believe this skill references the Wind Angel experint of the Wood chanism State; it’s more streamlined in its chanism but shares the sa core idea.”
Kardesia gasped: “Gosh, she’s so vicious…”
The underworld leader selectively ignored the noise, and John got straight to the point: “How significant is the increase in combat strength from this skill?”
Gongsun Ce scratched his head: “Let put it this way: before her ascension, Grey was not lacking in ans, but with guidance from experts, I managed to defeat her with a blitzkrieg. But after her ascension, not only did she beco stronger, but she could also use sothing called the ‘Fake Unlimited Machine’. That aura reminded of a… fully unleashed Red Mage.”
During the Battle of Cangdu, the Red Mage had already been significantly weakened. She was sealed in Fallen Heaven by the Huojin Realm, and she split a significant portion of her power to suppress the Final Sword. Even so, it took all the city’s strongn to barely manage her defeat. No one really knew what the full strength of the Red Mage entailed; they only knew that no one wanted to fight her at full power.
“It seems Gaius’s plan is to replicate Grey’s ritual,” Shiyu Lianyi remarked, “He treated Grey as an experintal subject for totemization because he wasn’t sure if such a wild idea would succeed.”
Shiyu Ling chid in: “His presidential ambition is likely connected to this plan, as symbols of ‘National Leader=National Symbol’ are a straightforward Symbolic Skill. Gaius claims this thod can repair the real world…”
“In my battle against Grey, I didn’t feel anything like that. I can only assu it’s an effect related to the Civilization Frontline,” Gongsun Ce shook his head.
“In the end, what exactly is this Civilization Frontline?” Qin Qianbai voiced the question on everyone’s mind, “The first ti we ca across this term was in the Charming Mist State. Xu Ying said it was a battle to assimilate the opposing concepts of civilization and nature, but no one understands its actual operating mode.”
Gongsun Ce pondered for a mont before deciding to briefly explain the intelligence gathered so far.
“In reality, the Saint left ‘writings’ on each totem…”
He started from the earliest Xuan Ci State and talked all the way to the Cold Steel State of not long ago, then speculated: “I believe these ‘suggestions’ are like ‘supports’ or ‘anchors’ for the Civilization Frontline. The Saint completes the ‘battlefield’ of each state by setting a skill on each totem. The 51 battlefields converge into a ‘frontline’ that unites the entire union, turning civilization itself into a massive skill.”
The evidence lay in his teachings to the local inhabitants to live in a confrontational manner. As long as people persist with the mindset of battling nature, they can harness the features of the local giant dragon topography and convert natural power to their use. With the powers of the Mystical realm suppressed, the Dragon of Yao change would not descend, and long-term peace could be ensured for the union.”
Anyone with a slight understanding of the Impermanence Skill was utterly astonished. Typical skill ranges cover at most a single city, and skills covering an entire state are comndable feats. But if Gongsun Ce’s hypothesis is accurate, the Civilization Frontline devised by the Saint enveloped the entire northern continent for a millennium. The construction of such a grand skill is miraculous, but what’s even more bewildering is that it’s continued to operate for a thousand years!
This is no longer just a skill; it’s a legacy substantial enough to establish a nation. Jago stood up in shock, his voice trembling with urgency: “Mr. Gongsun, how have you waited this long to divulge this matter? Please ensure the records are handed over to the Church for review; these are invaluable true traces of the Saint!”
Gongsun Ce awkwardly smiled to himself, thinking, if he revealed all those idle words of the Saint, many priests in the Church might waver in their faith. The Dawn Knight promptly helped him out by saying: “Please understand, Ce kept it concealed to prevent intelligence from leaking and also because he hasn’t confird this hypothesis himself. We only grasped Gaius’s genuine intentions upon Grey’s demise.”
Gongsun Ce nodded: “Grey’s success was due to her being the Queen, but the union’s vastness isn’t like just one Albion Island. Fully activating the skill won’t be that simple. If Gaius wants to use the Civilization Frontline, he should try to seize as many totems—essentially the frontline’s ‘anchors’—as possible.”
“A guerrilla war across the entire union…” John pondered, “Both sides lack high-level combat forces. Acting alone makes one easy prey. Limited incursions in areas where borders are shared, seeking opportunities for decisive strikes should be pursued.”
“I agree with your judgnt. Gaius’s side would likely employ the sa tactics, so for now, we should find a strategically suitable place to settle and prioritize defense.” Gongsun Ce spread out a map and pointed to a fiery red region in the southeast of the union, “The next stop is the Fire Wind State for now.”
“That’s my ho!” Kardesia cheered.
“Not just your ho, but the headquarters of the Church’s forces,” Gongsun Ce gave a sidelong glance, “Everyone pack up your belongings; we leave in the next few days. Any questions?”
A hesitant hand was raised among the participants; Yun Yinglang wore an expression that seed pent up for a long ti.
“Uh, the enemy is the Vice President of the union, right? Can’t we just head to teor City and finish him off directly?”
Gongsun Ce sighed deeply and replaced it with a gentle smile.
“Let tell you about the current enemy high-level lineup. The Rainbow Winged Lord hasn’t made his stance clear yet, so let’s put him aside for now. Only those confird against us include the final-stage Martial Arts champion, the empowered Jinglian, the Heavenly Return Skill with strong Hidden Law Master who also has invisibility, and the Creation Realm peak Situ Yi. In the worst case, we must consider the Dragon of Yao change or even that Xu Ying… do you think we’d win if we charged in?”
Yun Yinglang’s face turned pale: “We seem to have no chance at all…”
“I can assure you; if these individuals were united, we’d have been annihilated by now.” Gongsun Ce stated, “That’s their disadvantage and our advantage. We may not be a solid unit, but at least well-acquainted, and we have support from Cangdu behind us. So before we prepare, don’t think about starting a fight. Believe ; I want to rush in more than anyone else. Any other questions?”
“What about Seviss?” Qiluo inquired softly, “I see no one discussing the angel on the internet… Isn’t that suspicious?”
Nobody stirred; even those from Cangdu couldn’t make sense of the situation, let alone Gongsun Ce and his group, who had been active in the northern continent for long.
On the night Seviss summoned the angel, the spectacle was colossal, visible to everyone in the city. Yet, peculiarly, over a day has passed since, and not a word has been uttered among the public. Even the Church mbers insist that no such event occurred. The matter seed forgotten by all, like a collective illusion only experienced by them. Only the unconscious Ranger verified the reality of the mory.
“We’ll discuss this matter separately a little later…” Gongsun Ce pondered for a mont before getting up first, “I’ll go check on Seviss’s condition soon. Sister Zhenfan, please conduct a physical examination for her. eting adjourned.”
