I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 577

Chapter 577: This Is the Power and Authority of God!

In the foreign land, the Broken City—Arcana.

After the fall of the Moon Goddess Diana, this once flourishing sacred place of worship had become a den of undead and demons, with the stench of rotting corpses mixed with the smell of blood nearly making one nauseous.

However, everything changed dramatically the moment the 'master' of the divine realm returned. This dark, chaotic, dying world was also greeted with new life! The divine light once again enveloped the land, dispersing the heavy deathly aura.

The undead that had occupied this place were mostly dissolved into pure energy by the divine light, used to nourish this barren land.

However, Aila had no intention of completely exterminating them. She was very aware that the foreign land was not safe at the moment, even though she had severed the spatial channel to the main world and what the wizards called the Eternal Star, it was not a hundred percent safe.

Most importantly, Aila obtained shocking information from the memories of a few high-level undead: the Death Lord had fallen!

This news completely exceeded Aila's expectations. According to her earlier assumptions, even though the Death Lord had left the divine realm and had his connection to both realms severed by her, weakening his power, dealing with those wizards should have been easy.

What she did was merely to slightly delay the Death Lord's pace, so that when he angrily returned, she would have already completely controlled the divine realm, ready for a life-and-death battle with him.

However, the development of events was vastly different from her previous predictions. The Death Lord, trapped in the Eternal Star, had actually fallen! Those wizards had actually killed... a god!

Aila could hardly believe the intelligence she got from the undead's memories. After ascending to divinity herself, the power to control an entire world could only be described as terrifying.

A legend was no different from an ant in front of her, even that power strong enough to move mountains and boil seas, the "Skyfall," could not pose any threat to her now. If she wished, she could even use spatial conversion to return the attack exactly as it came!

But at the same level of divinity, the more powerful Death Lord had fallen on the Eternal Star.

Memories could be woven and altered, but the collapse of the undead legion could not be faked. Another important evidence was that she faced no obstacles while searching these undead memories, meaning they indeed lost the protection of a god.

This caused Aila to feel a strong unease.

Whether the Death Lord was careless for a moment and met his downfall, or fell into some kind of trap, at least one fact could be confirmed: the wizards had the power to kill a god.

Considering this, Aila abandoned the idea of slaughtering all the undead in the divine realm, because she now needed an army capable of warfare, and directly incorporated the remaining five million undead legion...

This was not an impossible task. The lower-level undead lacked intelligence and were just a group of killing machines, so controlling a few high-level undead was enough to command the entire undead legion.

But this was still not enough. Aila was very aware that a divine battle was the key to victory.

While reviving the Moon God's realm, she had consumed too much power and urgently needed to replenish her energy reserves...

The quickest way naturally was to gather followers.

With one step, Aila had already reached the Broken City—Arcana. As she spoke, her cold voice echoed throughout the foreign land.

"Come here, people of God! All suffering has ended, I will build heaven on earth, dispel all disasters, and bestow eternal light, water, and food to the most devout followers..."

"My name is Aila, the Moon God, the creator of all things, eternal, and supreme!"

As her words fell, divine power enveloped the entire city like ripples.

Towering statues of the gods suddenly rose from the ground, their expressions either compassionate, solemn, or merciful... What was common was that they all radiated a strong brilliance.

The ruined holy city suddenly shook violently. It seemed as if time had reversed, the ruined walls visibly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, the remnants buried in the ground reassembled, and the dried-up lakes were refilled with sweet rain...

Nearby remaining Morko people, halflings, and some orcs and fairies felt the call of the god, leaving the dark caves they had long been apart from, and gathered in the Broken City, Arcana, astonished at the miraculous scene before them!

In just a few hours, this long-abandoned, ravaged sacred place of worship was restored to its original state!

After seventy years, having endured countless pain and hardship, they finally awaited the return of their god!

Excited cheers and emotional shouts resounded continuously in the Broken City. There were even many remaining priests of the Moon God covering their faces and crying,

 tears brimming in their eyes as they looked up at the dreamlike, majestic buildings, frantically kissing the ground beneath their feet!

At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled only with fervor for their god, spontaneously kneeling and praying devoutly, seeking the protection of their god, even though the newly erected statues and the original ones in the holy city had great differences, no one cared anymore.

They only knew that their suffering had finally ended, and they would all usher in a new life!

"Is this all the people left?" Aila, hovering in the sky, looked at the tens of thousands of Moon God followers gathered in Arcana, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Even if only a small part of the followers could make it here, it was still too few. Scanning the entire plane, Aila found that the remaining population was less than a million, and even if they all became her most devout followers, it would be difficult to replenish the lost power in the short term.

However, disappointing as it may be, every bit of faith was very important at this moment. Aila once again performed the "Bread Conjuring Spell," and the elements in the void began to surge wildly, and in just a moment, large quantities of soft bread bricks fell from the sky.

The hungry followers ate this god-given food, and the faith in their hearts was further reinforced.

In fact, the rain of bread did not only appear above the Broken City, but wherever intelligent life existed, the grace of god would be bestowed!

This is the power and authority of God!

Invisible golden threads emerged from the minds of the followers, stretching all the way to an unknown region...

This is the link of faith!

Performing two massive miracles in succession was also a significant burden for Aila, who was already lacking in divine power, but what concerned her most was not the consumption of energy, but that her godhood had shown some abnormalities, sensing a call.

It was a strange feeling, as if a part of her body was separated and eagerly wanted to gather together.

Could it be the Moon God Diana?!

Aila immediately thought of this possibility, as only the original owner of the godhood could have such an impact.

When she merged with the godhood inside the Eternal Star, she had sensed the revival of Diana, which was also the most important reason she was forced to flee to the foreign land. Otherwise, the wizards' spell "Skyfall" alone would not have made her flee in such a disarray!

Could it be that the Moon God had not truly died, and that she, in alliance with those wizards, had defeated the Death Lord...

Aila thought more and more that this matched the facts. However, she was not afraid in her heart. She had now ascended to divinity, had taken several months to completely control the divine realm, and even if the Moon God herself came, she could not easily take it away.

It was a perfect opportunity to resolve this threat, and only by regaining control of the Eternal Star could she have the capability to face threats from the main world!

"Then... let's battle!" Aila slowly opened her eyes, a star-like dazzling light shining in her pupils.

There was hardly any slackness. As the followers below completed their first worship, consolidating their faith, Aila announced the news of the divine battle.

Those from another world, skilled in deceit, disguise, and concealment, capable of controlling powerful killing machines, were the culprits of their seventy years of suffering!

And now these demons would once again invade this plane, destroying the heaven that was about to be built, plunging this world back into darkness and chaos!

"Kill them." A high priest with red eyes shouted hoarsely, they would not give up the light they had just seen.

"Kill all those damn demons!" "Shameless plunderers!"

More and more followers gritted their teeth in agreement, finding a reason to vent the humiliations and hardships of these decades!

Being able to survive in the dangerous foreign land until now, each one was a warrior with a strong will, what they lacked was only greater power!

Aila could naturally satisfy this point, and immediately bestowed the divine system, transforming every young and strong follower gathered in the Broken City—Arcana, according to their level of faith into priests, bishops, and cardinals.

She also put in great effort and forcibly instilled seven pseudo-legendary high priests!

As a price, Aila had completely drained the remaining potential of the foreign land, a gamble that if she could not successfully take the Eternal Star, this broken divine realm would completely collapse within decades!

However, if this battle went smoothly, then what was lost could be exchanged for even more returns!

Feeling the increasingly devout faith in the hearts of these followers before her, Aila's heart gained a bit more confidence!

This was her kingdom of god, the land, mountains, and rivers, all elements were under her control!

Not to mention the godhood being taken, the divine realm being seized by the Moon God Diana, even if the Death Lord at his peak came, she might still have a chance to fight within this kingdom of god!
