Chapter 135 - 135 Next Step

135 Next Step

William looked at the illusory scene that connected the dark clouds, the storm, and the sea, as well as the people who were truly affected by this fantasy scene, and sighed silently.

The Moon Realm originated from compressed desires and emotions. Therefore, although they were invisible when they fell into Currere, they could still injure mortals.

This was just like how desire and emotions could still devour mortals despite not having a physical body.

After expelling the storm near the temporary settlement, Blake said, “Black Crow Gaze is much stronger than the previous Finality scene. A Dawn Fortress alone can’t withstand its scale.”

William looked at the sea hanging above the mountains and said with a headache, “This is a Moon Realm domain that almost became a Void Sovereign Kingdom after all. Even when the ancient rune system in the Dawn Fortress is complete, it might not even be able to accommodate 10% of Black Crow Gaze’s strength.”

The defunct rune system in the Dawn Fortress might only accommodate 10-20% of Black Crow Gaze, and the remaining portion would show the phenomenon of plane fusion. The overflowing Moon Realm domain turned most of the southern part of the Grief Mountains into an ocean that had a storm wreaking havoc.

Although this was essentially an illusion and didn’t affect the local soil and climate, nor did it turn the mountains here into a seabed, with even the vegetation in the mountains not being destroyed, to intellectual creatures who could sense the concept of despair, this land was a real sea of storms. If anyone lost their footing and fell in, they would drown in the howling storm.

Just like the storm in which William shattered the waves, although the ground and other inanimate objects weren’t drenched, the onlookers below were drenched.

William looked at the shocking waves that surged one after another in the terrifying storm in the distance and asked worriedly, “Blake, with your authority as a Moon Realm Overlord, can you completely calm the storm in the Sea of Despair?”

However, Blake shook his head and said, “This sea and storm are products of realization based on the concept of despair. I can only choose to increase the scale or size of the storm and control its path, but I can’t stop the storm across the entire sea.”

William sighed and said, “Then, let’s keep the storm as far away from all the peripheral areas as possible.”

“I’ve already done so,” Blake nodded and replied.

As a domain that reflected the Moon Realm’s fear of the world’s end, the Finality scene wasn’t a large-scale Moon Realm domain. The apocalypse vaguely described in myths and legends or prophetic stories was naturally much more terrifying than the plague and war many people had truly experienced. Therefore, the echoes they produced in the Moon Realm were greatly different.

Previously, the entire Finality scene was controlled by the Dawn Fortress, so it wouldn’t actively affect Currere. Now that it had been changed to Black Crow Gaze, the Moon Realm domain that symbolized the concept of despair made the Dawn Fortress akin to an underage horse having to pull a few large trucks filled with goods. It was completely powerless.

“We have to expand Dawn Fortress’s rune system and seal the entire Black Crow Gaze in the darkness of the fortress like the Finality scene.”

William said as he landed in the temporary settlement.

Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for an illusory sea to float above the entire Grief Mountains. It was a huge latent danger to the surrounding towns and villages, and even the entire eastern part of the Blackwater Swamp.

The Moon Realm was unpredictable. Perhaps something major would happen in Currere one day, causing a storm to take shape in the Moon Realm that resulted in Black Crow Gaze going berserk.

“That’s not enough. We might have to build a city with the Dawn Fortress as the core to expand the rune system,” Blake, who was doing his best to suppress the restless storm in Black Crow Gaze, replied.

A little power overflowing from the entire Moon Realm domain could produce waves dozens of meters tall. Even after leaving Black Crow Gaze’s range, they would quickly be eliminated by the laws of Currere. However, before that, it wouldn’t be a problem to drown one or two villages.

William and Blake landed on the ground under everyone’s respectful gazes. The former quickly spotted the person-in-charge, Sigmonds, from the crowd.

“How did it go?”

He was naturally referring to the transferring of people, key equipment, and precious materials.

Sigmonds bowed and replied, “All the construction workers have been evacuated safely, and all the hunters and woodcutters close to the mountain range have been forcibly evacuated. As for the equipment and materials, the enchantment tables, refinement equipment, and the precious metals in stock have been transferred out, but there’s nothing we can do about the large equipment… But Presiding Judge, what’s going on with this sea?”

Sigmonds originally wanted to report in detail about the matter, but halfway through, he looked at the sea behind the Presiding Judge and couldn’t help but ask this question.

“A sea that should have existed in people’s consciousness has encountered some small problems, resulting in its appearance in Currere.”

William replied succinctly and added, “We’ll return this place to normal as soon as possible, but don’t try to approach the area before that.”

With that said, William turned his gaze to Blake and asked, “You mean to build a city that transcends the Moon Realm and Currere with Black Crow Gaze as the foundation?”

“To be precise, a fortress city as a bridgehead used to resist and counterattack the Moon Realm,” Blake replied with a nod.

Transforming the entire Black Crow Gaze into a fortress city to deal with the Moon Realm was an excellent plan.

Back then, the Doomsday Watchers relied on the Twilight Fortress to block the Moon Realm rifts through the connection of coordinates. They turned the sports battles that originally bloomed everywhere on the continent into defensive battles that relied on the fortress’s fortifications. The Moon Realm was kept out of Currere, greatly reducing the damage a Moon Realm invasion caused to it.

And now, Black Crow Gaze, which was larger than the Finality scene, undoubtedly had better initial conditions and allowed the construction of more fortifications. Moreover, as the overlord of Black Crow Gaze, Blake could fully utilize the geographical advantage of the Moon Realm. Ignoring everything else, just the crows and storms could greatly reduce the number of invaders.

However…

“But the resources and manpower I have now are hardly sufficient to renovate Dawn Fortress,” William said helplessly.

Then, he continued, “Moreover, let’s not talk about the most basic Demon Sealing circuits for the time being. The core circuits related to anchoring were set up by Sibylla back then. Do you think…”

As William spoke, he looked at the enchanters he had brought from the Viper Lighthouse.

“Do you think anyone else can take on this heavy responsibility?”

Blake shook his head with a sad expression and said, “Sibylla went to the Cold Plains back then. The last time I heard from her was that she planned on going to the Dragon Bone Islands to search for a revelation. There was no news of her after that.”

William nodded. Although she had the Eyes of God, Sibylla was still a mortal. Without considering an extremely special situation like Blake, she could not live till this era.

“In short, if we want to resolve this situation…”

As William spoke, he made the magical medium in his hand light up with a sparkling green light and began to treat the festering wound on his shoulder.

He didn’t care about it previously, but the wound caused by the Lady of Starvation’s main body had already begun to grow bright and festering fungi.

“We need a large number of outstanding enchantment craftsmen, alchemists, architects, and many other talents. Moreover, they need to be readily available. We don’t have the time to nurture them from scratch.”

The outstanding standard William mentioned was only for talents in magic. They had to reach the Legendary domain at the very least.

“Other than the Astral Council, I can’t replace an organization with such talents for the time being, but the problem is…”

William’s words brought the members of the Enchantment Association who had been maintaining shocked expressions back to their senses. They nervously listened to the rest of the other party’s words.

William ignored their reaction and continued, “The problem is that the Astral Council is the organization I urgently want to destroy. Let’s not talk about the people who are implicated when the time comes, but all of the brass will have to undergo judgment.”

Just the 24 Astral Lighthouses and the Void Sovereigns’ Calendar of Disasters should have sent every one of them to the guillotine.

The enchanters of the Viper Lighthouse didn’t even dare to breathe.

However, this created a contradiction.

Those who met William’s standards were undoubtedly the brass and quasi-high-ranking members of the Astral Council.

Blake pondered for a moment and said, “Presiding Judge, if you need a large number of outstanding magic chanters, I have a suggestion… No, even without this matter, I would suggest that you make a trip there first.”

“Where?” William asked.

“Ava State: the city-state alliance of the Seven High Elves, and the location of the earliest magical parish—Tacma Church.”

“Moreover, Remides Shadowmoon is still alive, but her current situation isn’t very optimistic.”
