Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

However, none of the envoys received any reply.

Either they couldn't find them, or they did but got no response, and were directly driven out.

Some even began to wonder if this race truly enjoyed the protection of Divine Spirits, able to remain unscathed in this Divine Punishment.

Yet, Wizard Shen Yu knew very well.

This was impossible.

As long as the Senya people remained human, looking at other worlds, the apocalypse of every world's humans was always destruction in nature.

There was no possibility of remaining unscathed.

But Wizard Shen Yu shared the same curiosity about the Senya people.

After all, the Forest Goddess's favor for the Senya people was plain for all to see.

Lifespan, beauty, strength—everything.

Yet at this moment, when facing King Senya, Wizard Shen Yu immediately noticed, he too bore a curse!

Furthermore, there were other effects present on all Divine Mages and Divine Warriors— the waning of Divine Power.

The mere pallor of their faces was a typical symptom.

Many kings had also realized this, and the voices of discussion grew louder.

However, King Senya acted as if he hadn't heard such discussions at all.

Facing Wizard Shen Yu's gaze, he bowed in respect, showing the most basic courtesy and attitude, then silently led a few Senya people behind him to take their seats.

Only now did some notice that following behind King Senya was an extraordinarily beautiful young girl.

So beautiful as to defy reason, without a single flaw; that kind of pure aura made even the gathered kings express their astonishment.

However, after the astonishment, everyone came to a realization.

In such a gathering, bringing along such a beautiful girl—the purpose was self-evident.

Many among them had done the same.

Immediately, the previously subsiding discussion turned into low chuckles, some even openly scoffing.

Some made no attempt to hide it at all.

The Senya had been too arrogant before; more than one country resented them.

And now it seemed, so-called darlings of the gods were really no different from the rest of them.

The girl, now surrounded by mocking, jeering looks and words, flushed red, kept her head bowed tightly—further proof to all.

Even King Senya did not look pleased at this moment.

"Enough."

Wizard Shen Yu spoke up at this moment, and immediately silenced all voices in the hall.

Everyone displayed respectful expressions, bowing their heads to listen to Shen Yu on the high seat.

"We have some other special guests who have also arrived." Wizard Shen Yu looked toward the main gate of the palace.

The others did the same.

They saw more than a dozen mages radiating powerful Magic Power, divided into three groups, entering in sequence from the great doors.

Each group, upon entering, performed the mage's salute to Wizard Shen Yu.

The kings' expressions became much more serious.

For they realized, all these mages were tremendously powerful, yet not a single one was familiar.

"Welcome, all those who have traveled here from other planes," Wizard Shen Yu provided the answer, "Please take your seats."

Other planes!

The kings took a short breath; glancing at one another, each could see the shock in the other's eyes.

They were not ignorant of the existence of other planes, but as far as they knew, even the Magic Empire barely maintained tenuous contact with other planes, let alone actually encountering mages from them!

This meant the Magic Empire truly possessed the ability to traverse between different planes?

This was divine authority!

Moreover, every mage among them was so strong that a few gave an impression not much weaker than the late Magic Emperor Acosta.

But the etiquette they showed this new Magic Emperor was clearly that of lower-ranked mages to an upper-ranked mage; indeed, such seriousness was usually reserved for disciples greeting their teacher!

This scene, and that brief reply, had already revealed so much.

Even King Senya could not hide his shock.

Uncontrollably, he lowered his gaze even further.

Everyone realized one thing: this Magic Emperor was perhaps far more powerful than they'd initially anticipated.

"Julia Mage." Wizard Shen Yu first looked toward Julia Mage whom he had met before. "In your plane, how are things currently? Has the Divine Punishment Curse also appeared?"

"This is precisely what I wished to report to you, Your Majesty." After the curse on Julia Mage was lifted, her respect for Wizard Shen Yu was extreme. She stood up, saluted Shen Yu, and then said, "After you helped us eradicate the Divine Punishment Plague, with your aid, we unified the forces of the entire plane. At the same time, the god's fanatics were not resigned to our survival; they wandered everywhere. Upon receiving your message, we immediately carried out examinations and, indeed, the Divine Punishment Curse is spreading as well."

At once, the hall echoed with sharp intakes of breath.

First came the Plague Divine Punishment, and now the Curse Divine Punishment.

This situation was identical to their own world!

The proclamation and actions of apocalypse by the gods were clearly not limited to one single plane.

But to all planes!

The gods—just what are they doing, and why do they wish to destroy everyone in all planes?!
