Chapter 1748 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1748: 476 Eternal Disappearance and God of Truth_3 The only reason the giant beasts coveted the material world was their inability to generate such heat. So, they could only lethally harvest the creatures of the material world for sustenance, over and over again. Because they had to harvest repeatedly, disasters like the advent of the void weren’t going to end all at once. Instead, they would occur again and again, until they extracted the very last drop of heat… It would only be after the entire universe succumbed to desolation that they would finally rest, content! No wonder Yurkus was delighted. Matthew had saved the world, effectively completing a cycle; the terror brought upon by the disaster and the joy of survival caused the material world to burst forth with even greater heat. This is exactly what the creatures of the void coveted! Understanding the cruel truth behind all this, Matthew wasn’t discouraged. On the contrary, he was ignited with a fierce fighting spirit. Isabelle suddenly said from beside him, “You’re right.” “If I have the chance, I’ll try to break that mirror.” “After going to the Original World, I’ll find a way to send something to you.” Matthew was somewhat surprised, “How will I find the thing you’ve sent?” Isabelle lifted her proud chin, “What I send will find you.” As the two conversed, the surrounding mist quickly dissipated, revealing a dense array of rift cracks in this space— The Evil Art Masters might have been banished, but the ether’s backflow and the material layer’s tearing hadn’t left for a moment. If not addressed in time, Canning City and the surrounding areas would face a terror of tearing comparable to the Heavenly Family Palace’s fall half a year ago! At that time, Secondary Planes filled the gaps, acting as a buffer against the destruction of the material layer. Now, there were not many Secondary Planes left to mend these numerous holes! “I’ll do it,” Isabelle said indifferently. In the next moment, she soared over a hundred meters into the air. Her figure emitted a pale, shining halo. Under its glow, her girlish appearance underwent a shocking transformation— From an innocent and charming little girl, into a horrifying, diminutive, decayed skeleton! “That is…” “Liches!” “Divine Liches, no less!” Matthew was only surprised for a moment before coming to a realization. No wonder Isabelle always seemed so aloof; she had long since transformed herself into a Divine Lich! “Perhaps, this is also key to controlling the Chaos Mystery Lock…” Matthew realized. Next came a part he couldn’t quite understand— He could only see that behind Isabelle, the space started fracturing like a spiderweb. Countless green chains extended from the Divine Lich’s body, forcibly locking the entire material layer near Canning City in place! For a moment, space itself seemed to freeze! “Is that… the Chaos Mystery Lock?” Matthew recognized the glowing object within the Divine Lich. “Yes.” “Chaos and order are two sides of the same coin; it’s perfectly normal to use the Chaos Mystery Lock to suppress the collapse of the material layer.” A familiar female voice echoed in Matthew’s ear. Matthew turned around, and there stood Soria, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time! Not only Soria, in the northern sky, a figure was rapidly approaching. Although Matthew couldn’t make out the person’s face, the overwhelmingly powerful aura revealed the newcomer’s identity. Holy Mage Link. “You’ve come…” Matthew hesitantly asked. “Of course, we’ve come to help,” Soria said with a gentle smile. Under Matthew’s silent gaze, both Soria and Link actually helped to stabilize the material layer around Canning. When the three great Heavenly Mages lent a hand, the collapse of the material layer came to an immediate halt. Matthew quickly understood the ins and outs— Soria and Link were only interested in the Golden Ring, which had merely been banished. They still had the opportunity to compete for it, only postponed by a hundred years. If that was the case, there were no longer any underlying conflicts between them and Isabelle or Matthew. Both were Alliance Wizards, protectors of this Earth Society. Helping, in circumstances that didn’t affect their own interests, was perfectly reasonable. However, Matthew felt, their actions were more to curry favor with Isabelle. For Soria and Link, Isabelle’s departure was splendid news, but during this time before her leave, they had to guard against this most powerful woman of the Alliance going rogue. Given such circumstances, offering a convenient favor was only to be expected. However, stabilizing the material layer only resolved one of the two major crises facing Order City. Soon, even from the outskirts of the city, Matthew felt the Ether Storm brewing in the sky. It was a sign of the Chaotic Ether further flooding from the ether plane into the material world! “Such a massive amount of ether is simply too much to control.” “Us powerful spellcasters risk igniting the source of ether backflow by getting too close, potentially causing an even greater disaster…” Link gazed towards Order City with a very serious expression. Soria, on the other hand, said with a beaming smile,
