In the sky above Heglais Town, mages showcased their various skills, creating a spectacular sight.
Far in the distance, Luo Wei watched the battle unfold and couldn't help but think that regardless of how well they fought, the mages' battle was far more visually appealing than the earlier brawl between those two giant monstrosities.
The array of magic in the sky was like fireworks during the Lunar New Year, with the visual effects already top-notch. Of course, the mages' moves weren't just for show; among them, the magic of the two elders and Tilis was particularly intense.
Luo Wei observed that Tilis was sparing no expense, utilizing all her magical artifacts. With the support of several magical orbs and the enhancement of various magical items, a terrifying surge of soul energy continuously bombarded Antius, causing the massive body to tremble incessantly.
Those precious magical items, of course, were all gifts from Luo Wei. In the past, Tilis was like this—clad in top-tier gear, stacked with countless buffs, charging solo toward the boss, annihilating any opponent in her path, almost unstoppable...
And every time, Luo Wei would just sit back and watch the show.
Of course, he wasn't entirely idle; his job was to manage the pollution level, preventing the witch from being consumed by darkness. (His role was still quite significant!)
However...
Although Luo Wei was incredibly proud of his meticulously cultivated masterpiece, not everyone around him shared his sentiments...
Ophelia looked up at Tilis's arsenal of spells and clicked her tongue.
"You've given her so many good things, you're quite generous~"
Luo Wei chuckled awkwardly, "Well, look, they're all being put to good use, so it's worth it."
"So, giving them to me wouldn't be worth it, huh?" she retorted.
Luo Wei laughed nervously, not daring to disagree, and silently continued to watch the battle.
Ophelia sighed wistfully, feeling a bit dispirited.
"Indeed, giving them to me wouldn't be of much use. If it weren't for her in this battle, we might have died..."
She understood the situation clearly, though she felt a tinge of resentment.
Ophelia lifted her gaze once more, staring at the radiant figure soaring in the sky. In terms of power, she knew she could never reach such a level in her lifetime...
Sometimes, she truly envied her, with such talent, such strength...
She could freely soar through the heavens, doing whatever she pleased, while Ophelia herself had to scheme for the sake of her current position, and fight tirelessly to maintain it for her ruthless father...
Thinking of her heartless father, her mood became inexplicably agitated, and she couldn't help but wonder if she could still report back to him after all this.
"After the Ancestor is sealed, he'll probably fall back into a deep slumber again..." Ophelia said uncertainly.
"Are you worried about your father?" Luo Wei immediately picked up on her concerns.
Ophelia nodded slightly.
"Don't worry," Luo Wei comforted with a smile, "Just tell him everything. He needs to know that you've done exceptionally well. Your father's primary goal is to calm the chaos caused by the Ancestor's awakening, followed by suppressing the leakage of this information."
Her light-colored eyes shifted towards him.
Luo Wei continued, "Although the process... had a few hiccups, if Tilis succeeds, the outcome will be positive. Believe me, this kind of mission is beyond the capabilities of your two brothers and your sister. You've done an impeccable job~"
"True..." Ophelia did believe in Tilis's ability, but her heart grew even more troubled.
"I really don't want to owe that witch anything! I'd rather owe anyone else than her!"
Luo Wei watched her pout in frustration and shook his head with a smile.
He thought this situation wasn't so bad either...
Among the various conflicts, Ophelia and Tilis were undoubtedly the most prominent. He truly hoped to ease the tension between the two.
Prolonged animosity, with constant fighting and hostility whenever they met, was something he was tired of dealing with...
If Ophelia owed Tilis a favor, perhaps their relationship wouldn't be so adversarial in the future. As for Tilis, she always remained aloof, and it seemed she cared little about these matters...
This way, Luo Wei's plan for a harmonious harem would be a smashing success!
"Luo Wei, what are you grinning about?"
"Uh... nothing." Luo Wei cleared his throat seriously and continued to watch the battle.
After nearly twenty minutes of continuous magical bombardment, even the thick-skinned Antius couldn't endure any longer.
Its massive black body was now covered in grotesque scars, and its flying advantage had been nullified, as the mages were capable of flight as well.
This was no longer the confined underground research facility where the president once battled, but a vast open sky.
Despite Antius's counterattacks that caused more and more mages to fall, the main force had always been Tilis. Unless she was defeated, Antius would eventually be worn down.
Thus, just like the president in the past, its survival instinct kicked in, and it no longer barged headfirst but spread its wings and soared toward the open skies over the vast ocean.
Tilis immediately ceased her spellcasting, and the glow around her magical orbs faded.
This was exactly what she wanted. She aimed to drive Antius toward that island to place a seal upon it.
Under her command, the remaining members of the Magic Cult followed closely, pressuring Antius to fly toward the island.
At this moment, the silent Margery approached.
"Tilis, I really don't understand you..."
"Why?" Tilis glanced at her.
Margery immediately expressed her thoughts, "Why are we helping Vigna seal this monster? If we let it loose to wreak havoc in the empire and create chaos, wouldn't that be more beneficial for our cause?"
"You really are fixated on the revival of the Magic Empire." Tilis gave her a smirk, "With that in mind, why have you always followed me? You should have joined the president's faction instead."
"Impossible!" Margery retorted immediately, "That guy's talent is nothing special compared to yours. Tilis, I sincerely believe that you are the hope of our great cause! Please don't let me down!"
As she spoke, her tone became more intense, and Tilis could see that she was about to repeat the same old grievances for the umpteenth time.
"Enough, I've heard enough!"
Margery's expression faltered. Gazing at Tilis's impatient look, her mood gradually darkened.
"Tilis, could it be that..."
"Margery." Tilis stared at her intently, her voice serious.
"I have always been grateful for your support, but—"
"In this matter, on the future path of the Magic Cult, I have a new vision."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
