Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3183: 657: Monument of Heroes

Hera declared: "I have returned. Let your Grand Council Chairman continue advancing in the Abyss. I will handle matters here; with me present, Nora shall be safe."

The assembled crowd seemed to snap out of a daze.

Regardless of anything else, with Hera joining the fray, Nora's forces could hold out significantly longer, sufficiently enduring until the Emperor successfully broke through the Abyss and returned to his devoted Nora.

"Fallen Star Lord, what are you doing! Our true enemy is Nora!"

The Lord of Chaotic Star, completely disregarding the wound inflicted by Hera, propelled himself forward.

He was met by the Fallen Star Lord's supreme offensive. This forced the Lord of Chaotic Star into a violent retreat, utterly bewildered and not understanding the unfolding situation.

How did the Fallen Star Lord reappear from his supposed lost state and undergo such a drastic change?

Helos found himself in a desperate struggle.

While contending with the Nora Battle Group, he simultaneously endured the furious assault from the Fallen Star Lord.

He questioned aloud: "What is happening within your Abyss? Don't tell me you've secretly switched your allegiance to Nora!"

Helos was a picture of both anger and deep annoyance.

The astral world had never truly placed its full trust in the Abyss.

Now, the Fallen Star Lord's inexplicable attack on them raised immediate suspicion.

He couldn't help but suspect that the Abyss, perhaps sensing an unfavorable turn of events, had already defected to Nora's side.

The Lord of Chaotic Star angrily retorted: "The Fallen Star Lord is under Hera's control! Considering the Abyss's nature, would Nora ever truly ally with us?"

To earn the astral world's trust, this explanation was the only viable option.

Helos temporarily set aside his suspicions.

Although the words were blunt, the logic held: Nora might align with other major powers, but they would never ally with the Abyss. The astral world, lacking alternatives, had reluctantly allied with the Abyss.

Nora had already established itself as the paramount power in the universe.

There was no strategic advantage for them to risk betrayal by seeking an alliance with the Abyss.

The Fallen Star Lord's bearing and expression betrayed no discernible emotion.

It truly appeared as though he was being controlled.

He and Hera had not been lost at all.

Instead, they had been concealed through some clandestine, special method.

Awaiting the opportune moment to launch a decisive strike against both the astral world and the Abyss.

In truth, the Nora Council was also unaware of these intricate circumstances.

When Sauron had set his final gambit in motion, he deliberately withholding the plan from the council to shield its execution from being compromised by personal factors like character, morality, or loyalty.

This precaution ensured that even if someone were to betray them,

they wouldn't be able to reveal his grand design to the enemy.

Apart from Sauron himself, no one else possessed knowledge of his complete scheme.

Even Levi, his designated successor, was privy to only a fragment of the plan.

Such foresight demonstrated the ancestor of wizards' meticulous consideration.

The Frost Witch announced: "Everyone, lend your full cooperation to Lady Hela!"

The Spiritual Venerable erupted in laughter: "Hahahaha, let's annihilate them all!"

This sudden, unexpected turn of events dramatically bolstered Nora's fighting spirit. Hera and the Fallen Star Lord were tasked with directly engaging and containing the Lord of Chaotic Star and Helos.

The Lord of Chaotic Star's elemental resistances proved largely ineffective against Hera.

With Hera firmly established in the Supreme Realm, her might surpassed that of this newly-ascended Supreme. Each of her strikes inflicted grievous wounds upon his Vajra Demon Body.

The Cosmic Celestial found himself locked in a direct confrontation, steadfastly holding his ground against Helos.

After all, the Fallen Star Lord's power was demonstrably inferior to this Supreme God.

The Dark Ancient Tower and Dreams of Revolving cleverly exploited every opening that presented itself.

The Nora Battle Group, leveraging these two potent artifacts, relentlessly harrassed the Supremes, steadily accumulating damage.

Consequently, Nora decisively maintained the upper hand against the two opposing Supremes.

The tide of battle swiftly turned, and if they could just stabilize the current situation, eradicating the two Supremes within several centuries would be a certainty, paving the way for a sweeping victory upon the Chaos Emperor's return!

...

On the 603rd layer of the Abyss.

The Infinite Land slowly rotated, and any flying demons lacking sentience that blundered into it were promptly annihilated, their essence decomposing into Chaotic Power before evolving into the fundamental elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.

[Spiritual Force: 185,000/200,000]

"My spiritual force is also approaching its zenith. At this rate, by the time I emerge from the Abyss, I will have already taken one step into the Supreme realm."

Levi concluded his meditative trance.

"It appears Hera and the Fallen Star Lord weren't actually lost. All of this likely ties back to Sauron, the first wizard to ascend to the Supreme level.

Furthermore, having mastered the [Wisdom Tablet], he is undoubtedly the most formidable researcher. Sauron probably unearthed the fundamental principles behind becoming 'lost' long ago, but has simply not disclosed his findings.

As for the Fallen Star Lord, he is likely Sauron's trump card strategically placed within the astral world, perhaps a duplicate entity. It's just that the astral world's duplicate has yet to reveal itself."

With Nora's situation secured, he continued his own cultivation journey deep within the Abyss.

The 603rd layer, known as the domain of the [Sky Demon Emperor Tuck], currently stands empty as its ruler is engaged in a war within the astral realm. Consequently, no level-10 demons were encountered on the journey through this layer.

However, within a poisonous swamp, an [Ancient Black Demon Dragon] was successfully subdued.

Without delay, the Shadow Army promptly transferred this creature into the Eternal Star Abyss.

Furthermore, the prevalence of swamps in this region has led to the proliferation of miasma, fostering an abundance of poisonous insects. Levi identified over a hundred species of Zergs, previously thought extinct outside, which had evolved into numerous new forms after adapting to the demonic aura.

These discoveries were precisely what the School of Insects required.

Levi's spirits soared.

"With this haul, the biological resources within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland can expand manifold," he mused inwardly.

Levi cast a contented gaze upon the world contained within his wizard tower.

In the void, neatly arranged starlight cages housed the precious creatures Levi had gathered, notably including thirteen members of the pure-blooded Dragon Clan.

"Squeak squeak squeak."

A Flying Golden-furred Rat landed on Levi's shoulder, its demeanor anxious.

"You've discovered a relic?"

This question piqued Levi's interest. Despite the Abyss being saturated with demonic aura, it was not entirely barren. In its process of consuming other realms, remnants of civilizations and treasures were often preserved.

To date, Levi had already acquired 11 Divine Artifacts. These had been reforged and integrated into his six great divine weapons and the very fabric of his wizard tower.
