Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

Judging from what just happened, the Curse God's power is really nothing special among the divine spirits—at best, just average.

But even this average divine spirit could bring about the destruction of over twenty billion people.

If we assume an average population of 1.5 billion per plane, that's more than ten planes!

And in reality, the number of planes affected by the curse will be even greater.

After all, curses are like plagues; you can only curb their spread to some degree by blocking transmission.

It's estimated that in the future, the number of planes that will be subjected to the Curse Divine Punishment will exceed twenty.

The means of an ordinary divine spirit are enough to render the mortals of over twenty planes utterly helpless.

And among those, there will surely be some mages of considerable power.

To mortals, the divine spirits truly are overwhelming.

"This disparity in power won't last forever." Wizard Shen Yu wasn't discouraged—instead, he was quickly contemplating the next steps. "Magic is a very powerful path, but for now, the top priority is still to establish contact with as many other planes as possible."

"That's right." Shen Yu nodded as well. "Population is Gray Mist."

Of the four planes at present, the interstellar civilization plane has the largest population, so it's also the easiest to generate Gray Mist.

With each day of launching the counterattack, vast amounts of Gray Mist are being harvested.

Every time they reduce the enemy's forces, they are able to save a portion of humanity.

On the Mother Star side, while the population isn't large, it's beset by densely packed crises—and these different crises can repeatedly yield Gray Mist, with no small gains.

It now seems that the potential of the Magic World might not be much less than that of the interstellar civilization!

The key is not letting too many people die.

"However, excessively interfering with other planes and gathering up their populations might further provoke the gods, forcing them to take even more radical actions." Shen Yu reminded again.

From the current situation, the gods are indeed deeply committed to world destruction.

Even when facing powerful beings beyond their understanding, they haven't given up their plan to wipe out the worlds.

There must be some factor behind this that we still don't understand.

However, it's highly likely that they'll leave Wizard Shen Yu and the mortals of this plane for last.

Undoubtedly, Wizard Shen Yu's forceful intervention in other planes will only introduce further variables.

"I'm not afraid." Wizard Shen Yu was no less determined, and this victory had only given him more confidence. "When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a way. Even if human civilization is destroyed in the end, getting more Gray Mist is still worth it—and besides, the resources on those other planes are just as crucial."

Shen Yu nodded.

Practicing magic isn't something that can be done without resources.

Especially forging Magic Guides and building fixed magic arrays—these require resources only found in this world.

And these things can help every world immensely.

Shen Yu needs to build a super-large Energy Trait Conversion Magic Array, to consistently transform the mutational energy released by the parasites into something that benefits life.

Otherwise, even if they wipe out all the sea monsters, the stray mutational energy could still render the entire planet uninhabitable.

Meanwhile, interstellar world Shen Yu needs to manufacture weapons—Magic Guides that project the 'Holy Great Sun' spell—to intimidate the Void Spirits on a large scale.

Even Martial Artist Shen Yu needs Energy Conversion Magic Arrays, to save on Gray Mist and accelerate the transformation of Earth Evil Power.

All things considered, Wizard Shen Yu accelerating the exploration of other planes is absolutely necessary.

"If you need anything, just tell us directly." Leaving those words behind, Shen Yu returned to his own world.

Wizard Shen Yu looked back at the great hall.

The crowd above the hall, even now, all looked dazed.

As if waking from a dream.

What had just happened was simply too overwhelming for them.

First, the divine spirit had suddenly appeared, and then, their Magic Emperor had actually killed a god directly!

Afterward came the gaze of the gods, and behind the Magic Emperor lurked an even more terrifying existence!

So now, even after the mysterious Gray Mist Space vanished and the gods retreated as well, they remained limp on the floor, as if all strength had left them.

Even those bravest among them—the kings—were no different.

But in the next moment, Aivlette, appearing in the great hall, drew all eyes to herself.

The first thing Aivlette did upon returning—completely disregarding etiquette and others' feelings—was to throw herself fiercely into Wizard Shen Yu's embrace.

Only she knew just how turbulent her emotions had been just now.

"Alright." Wizard Shen Yu gently comforted her. "Very few mortals ever get to go there, and besides, you're the number one hero today—a divine spirit fell because of you."

That's right; the others were slowly coming back to their senses.

But that much is clear!

From what that supreme being within Gray Mist said, this Supreme Divine Court of All Heavens won't lend them direct aid.

Because this is the Magic Emperor's trial.

The divine spirit who fell had chased after Aivlette and thus entered—and perished there.

This was clearly a sting operation. People began to realize why the Magic Emperor hadn't closed the Gray Mist channel—basically, it was to lure in the Curse God!

But so what?

The mighty power to slay a god in an instant—is there anything more real than that!
