Chapter 280 Aftershocks
And as the Grandmaster of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light Johan d'Orleáns breathed for the last time and the Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath Menuhyutt Faulhaber said his goodbye, another part of the plan started instantly.
When the soul of the Johan d'Orleáns departed to the Divine Kingdom of his God, Menuhyutt Faulhaber took out several objects from his Dimensional Storage, which were actually flags...
Naturally, they were not ordinary flags but rather Ritualistic Runic Flags that were used in sacrificial ceremonies, especially in the ceremony that the Hall Master was going to execute right now.
With the entire Middle World, all the souls, anguish, hatred and negative emotions as the fuel and the Divine Grimoire of 'Him' as the main object of the ritual.
Menuhyutt Faulhaber waved his hands as several flags that he brought with him disappeared into the corners of the world and started creating something that was reminiscent of the spell array.
Within several seconds, an enormous symbol of the Outer Court formed in the skies of the Middle World and shined with ominous aura and colors.
This spell array was catching all the souls and everything that was remaining in the entire World and sacrificing it to the Outer Court.
The aim of the Hall Master Menuhyutt Faulhaber was to carry out a sacrificial ceremony to sacrifice the Divine Grimoire of 'Him' to the Outer Court.
The Divine Grimoire that belonged to 'Him' contained part of 'His' Essence. Usually, all Divine Grimoires belonging to the Gods contained part of their very own Essence which then allowed their bearers to cast the Divine Magic straight away from the Divine Grimoire.
This presented something very attractive for the Outer Gods, who could devour the Essence to free themselves from the partial restrains of not intervening with the Material Plane directly.
As they operated on a different set of rules, while the strongest of the Outer Gods were not restrained by this, some of the Outer Gods were and for them, the Essence of one of 'Them' would break the restrain and allow them to spread their corruption in the Material Plane on a grander scale.
Around ten hours later, the spell formation was still activated and refining all souls, negative emotions and everything in the Middle World or at least what has remained from the Middle World.
Every bit of refined energy was gathering in the center of the Spell Array, gathering around the Divine Grimoire that was being slowly corrupted by the power and might of the Outer Gods and Eldritch Abominations.
"Hmm... they sent here someone this fast."
He opened his eyes slightly as his sight penetrated deep out of the Middle World as he saw a fleet of several tens of voidships that were bearing the flag of the Avalon Kingdom.
The voidships of the Avalon Kingdom were not the best and their level of technology was probably enough to deal with only some Intermediate Legendary Level Professionals, but the number was rather too high.
The Avalon Kingdom was producing their voidships on their own because no other faction would sell them theirs. Most of the factions actually produced their own, or they were buying theirs from the Scientia Hierarchy.
Hall Master Menuhyutt Faulhaber even saw a few voidships bearing the sigil of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light; probably one of the Order Commanders came to the place personally.
"It would be a shame if all ships were destroyed..."
He muttered slightly as his eyes shined with purple light and in a split of a moment, several stars exploded near the voidships of the Avalon Kingdom, obliterating more than fifty of the vessels in one go.
This was a trap prepared by the Hall Master before he even went to the Middle World. He then disappeared from the Middle World and appeared right in the Void, floating in front of the Middle World and observing the remnants of the fleet.
Waving his sword, he controlled the remnant energy from the explosions, conjuring an enormous wave of pure destructive energy that smashed apart the remaining voidships of the Avalon Kingdom.
'This should take a good number of their strength for some time... it seems that this journey was far more profitable than anticipated. Destruction of one of the Avalon's Fleets.'
Hall Master Menuhyutt Faulhaber thought as he watched the ships being destroyed to smitterness. At the same time, the souls of the killed Avalonian personnel were being caught by the Spell Array in the Middle World.
Naturally, the fleets had no chance against someone strong as Menuhyutt Faulhaber, so after destroying the entire fleets belonging to the Alvalon Kingdom, he returned his attention to the happenings in the Middle World.
He could see that the ritual ceremony was almost already finished.
As he sacrificed the Divine Grimoire to the Outer Gods, the sole thing that remained within the entire Middle World was only one purple crystal.
It was hovering high in the skies of the Middle World like it was observing the destroyed and desolate Middle World.
"So it worked..."
Hall Master Menuhyutt Faulhaber stated emotionlessly as he stared at the purple crystal that was hovering in the air. For now, he didn't dare to approach the thing, as he just kept on observing the crystal.
"Azamuth Crystal... so perfect... so beautiful and so powerful..."
After making sure that the Azamuth Crystal was in a stable condition, he started laying down some runes and isolating the Azamuth Crystal in a sealing formation before he would store it in dimensional storage.
The Azamuth Crystal was very volatile and if handled incorrectly, it could easily explode and take with it not only this Middle World but also several others that were located in the vicinity...
The procedure of sealing the Azamuth Crystal took several minutes and that was only because the Hall Master was very proficient in sealing magic and runes, aside from his overwhelming power.
As he sealed the Azamuth Crystal, he stored it in a specifically prepared container, which was then stored in dimensional storage.
"Plan Faith is done... now the Plan Promised Land could begin..."
He grinned viciously as he then disappeared from the Middle World because soon enough, it would be swarming with countless powerhouses and there was probably of 'Him' sending down some Holy Level Legendary Angels to check on the situation personally.
