The pure white star fire fell into the eyes of every revolutionary, no matter it was the [Attack King] on the high platform or the countless soldiers heading towards the tower, they were all destined to overturn everything that was corrupt under the shining of the morning star.
"I am the man of destiny... (Kingdom language)." Rosedes stared at Celica's face, his eyes reflecting the light of white flames, "I will turn into a raging fire that burns away all the corruption and oppression in the world... (Kingdom language)"
"No matter when... you are my king." Celica smiled back, "Use the morning star as a target and crush them..."
However, before Celica could finish her words, a strange vision came.
"Zizzi..."
The shock wave that disturbed the air swept across the Aston Plain like a wave. Rosedes turned around instinctively and looked towards the end of the horizon.
When he saw that scene, for the first time, astonishment appeared on his unshakable face.
"In the name of Ursa... (Kingdom language)."
Above the horizon of Aston Plain, the Tower of Babel was surrounded by countless red arcs of electricity, which reflected the raging fire created by the Kamistriker.
At the same time, around the part of the tower that was inserted into the clouds, the dark clouds in the sky kept rolling, slowly isolating a red circle around the tip of the tower. The outline of the dark clouds was coated with a layer of red light, and countless arcs kept gathering at the tip of the Tower of Babel, making an unstable "sizzling" sound.
The red lightning gradually overshadowed the brilliance of the morning star in the sky, illuminating the huge world coalition army. They whispered to each other, and countless officers looked up at the top of the Tower of Babel, their faces gradually turning pale.
Then, everything happened at that moment——
"boom----------"
A huge beam of annihilation instantly burst out with countless red arcs wrapped around it, shooting towards the Dila fleet on the east coast. Even though it was still hundreds of kilometers away from the Federation, the huge explosion sounded along with the tearing of the air and spread to every corner of the Aston Plain.
The World Alliance stared in amazement at the red beam of light that seemed like a divine punishment. The red light on the spire was like a second sun rising on the horizon of the Admir continent, dazzling and terrifying.
After the first beam of red light ended, everything returned to silence. The artillery that had been sent into the sky by the Dila fleet in the previous 48 hours stopped, as if the entire East Coast had been silenced by some force majeure.
"No...it can't be..."
The I-Tran officer at the head of the World Alliance looked up at the clouds torn apart by the red light, and a horrifying fact drilled into his mind like a termite.
The Dila fleet has been destroyed.
However, this is not the end yet.
As the scarlet arc lit up again, the tip of the Tower of Babel flashed a dazzling red light again.
"No...impossible..."
Under the reflection of the red light, the I-Tran officer subconsciously wanted to escape, but when he turned around, he was facing the entire world coalition force.
This is... the most powerful army in the world...
Strange emotional shocks continued to explode in the officer's mind, but he did not have more time to make a decision -
"boom----------"
A huge crimson beam of annihilation burst out from the tip of the tower for the second time. This time, it was directed towards the Aston Plains.
"Bang!!!!"
High up in the palace, Rosedes watched helplessly as the scarlet beam of light tore through the earth and attacked the World Alliance.
Faced with the gigantic beam of annihilation, the army of destiny ultimately failed to maintain its formation, and became a chaotic mess, like ants on a hot pot.
But it was too late to escape now.
"boom--------"
Starting from the I-Tran army at the head of the World Alliance, a huge red beam of light began to engulf the World Alliance mercilessly, melting the earth and the remains of the army into nothingness, and throwing countless fragments into the sky.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Countless screams filled every corner of the Aston Plain, but the beam of light seemed to have life as it slowly moved across the Aston Plain, devouring all creatures in its path and leaving behind a scorched earth burning with molten lava.
All this happened so quickly. In just a few minutes, the huge army on the Aston Plain was reduced by at least half.
“…”
Rosedes opened his mouth wide, and under the illumination of the red light, his body trembled slightly.
After the red light cooled, the Aston Plain was already in ruins, and the World Alliance had become a large number of defeated soldiers.
But this was still just the beginning. Following a few explosions, Rosedes looked up at the sky. Around the morning star shining in the sky, five meteors shining with scarlet red light began to fall towards the Aston Plain, dragging long tails of flames.
"...Run...Celica..." Rosedes still looked up and murmured, "...Take Eshilia...Run..."
"My...my king..." Celica was frightened. She stared at Rosedes' back and trembled continuously.
"Run."
“But…but…”
"Run!!!" Rosides yelled hysterically, "Run north! Run!"
Celica stared at Rosedes's crazy face in a daze. She had never seen the "Attack King" lose control before, and coupled with the huge collapse she just saw, all of this made her at a loss.
After a long while, Celica came back to her senses:
"Well...what about you..."
"My attack is not over yet, (Kingdom language)" Rosedes turned around and looked up at the red meteor in the sky, "Protect Eshilia, my treasure. (Kingdom language)"
The Tower of Babel was cooling down, but countless red electric lights were still lingering around the tower. Facing that doomsday-like scene, Rosedes Ad Persiphons drew the giant sword from his waist and pointed it at the sky.
Before going to fight the [Blade of Babel], Rosedes looked back one last time:
"My love, this is definitely not a farewell."
"..."
The desolate wind of doomsday blew across the Aston Plain, bringing with it bursts of sparks. The light of the Morning Star had long been overshadowed by the huge red factor energy burning at the tip of the Tower of Babel, and the sky was dyed a terrifying scarlet color.
Under the hall, the world coalition forces have either collapsed, gone mad, or have already turned into a pool of dust on the ground, no longer alive.
On the top of the palace, the proud [Attack King] slowly walked down the stairs, staring at the five [Blades of Babel] falling to the ground, the giant sword in his hand reflected the red light.
This was the [College War] decades ago, the war that changed everything.
The Kingdom of Grau Yad was eventually reduced to ruins by the annihilation beams of the Tower of Babel. There was no more arable land on the vast wasteland, and the vast sky was covered by dust.
After the fall of the [World Alliance], all countries signed an agreement with the Federation. From then on, the tone of a unipolar world was laid, and the era of Academi began completely.
For decades, the wild wind blowing from the ruins of the Kingdom of Grau Yad has been constantly fanning the flames of every revolution, constantly reminding people of the tragedy on the Aston Plains, and sinking the world into a deep and dark nightmare cage.
And the morning star that illuminates the future has not been seen for decades.
"We grew up within the range of the Tower of Babel."
Until, 14 years later——
"Well..."
The girl by the window put down the pen in her hand and looked out the window.
In her blood-red eyes, the daytime stars that quietly lit up in the vast sky were reflected.
"...Huh? Stars...?"
Perlis Hafgard looked at the strange stars in great confusion. She had never seen stars in the daytime, let alone such shining stars.
The daytime stars and her blood-red eyes reflected each other, as if they were in some kind of resonance, becoming brighter in broad daylight.
After gazing at the stars for a while, Perlis withdrew her gaze. She did not have any feelings about this strange vision. It would only turn into a few strokes of ink in her diary, and be pressed into the cracks of time along with the heavy pages.
What she didn't know was that when the White Flame Seat lit up again in fourteen years, a road of change slowly unfolded before her, leading straight to an indescribable future.
...END...
1) Bad Idea
950 Ezra
Temple of Embers - Wilkin Oasis
"Rumble"
With a loud bang, the ancient giant door slowly opened its bloody mouth, revealing the darkness inside to the sunlight of Wilkin.
The Embers Palace is located in the center of Wilkin. In this highly modern urban complex, this relic-like palace seems like an alien that doesn't fit in, but it just happens to reveal an eerie and solemn atmosphere.
"call..."
In the shadow cast by the huge palace, Perlis took a deep breath. Facing the bottomless darkness, a resolute light flashed in her blood-red eyes.
Behind her, Carly and Pace looked extremely alert, as if enemies might run out of the door at any time.
"Boom...boom——"
The stone door finally opened completely, and two guards in golden armor came out from the inside. They came forward and looked at Perlis for a while. After confirming her identity, the old guard in the lead saluted her:
"Miss Perlis, please follow me," the old guard said, making way for him and gesturing with his hand, "Prince Aloi has been waiting for a long time."
"..." Looking at the old guard, Perlis just nodded silently and walked towards the palace. Seeing Perlis's determination, Carly and Pess rarely exchanged worried looks, sighed at the same time, and followed her into the palace.
......
one day ago
......
"Wait a little longer, little white flower, it's still—"
"No, Carly! It can't wait any longer!"
The breeze outside the window blew the wind chimes on the roof, making a pleasant "ding-ling-ling" sound, as if trying to create an extremely pleasant atmosphere.
However, this atmosphere did not seem to successfully affect the girl who was pacing under the wind chimes:
"There are only two weeks left in the competition. If we delay any longer, we will definitely not be able to catch up!"
Perlis threw away her usual indifferent look and walked back and forth in her room covered with white flowers in a very anxious manner, as if her feet were on fire.
Whenever she thought of the life of Ivar Sekepas, the murderer of her father, she felt a faint flame burning her heart. The guy called "Scavenger" arrogantly invited her to fight this fateful battle in the "Tower of Babel Competition", but she could only be trapped in Wilkin's mansion, unable to move.
Perlis walked to the bed angrily and glared at the blue-eyed girl who was sitting on the bed beside her.
"You can't keep me locked up here forever!"
"How can I lock you up here?" Carly comforted Perlis, "Your own injuries haven't healed yet, haven't you?"
"Nonsense! My injuries are all healed!" Perlis walked towards Carly angrily, "It's obviously you... Ouch——"
Before she could finish her words, Perlis felt a pain in her ankle. She twisted her foot and fell straight to the ground face down.
“Eh! Ahhh——”
However, the hard ground did not hit her face. She felt as if she had fallen into a ball of cotton, soft.
"Well...."
Feeling the soft touch, Perlis raised her head with difficulty, only to see Carly's face looking down at her.
"Eh?"
"You daredevil, when did you become so impatient?" Carly said gently, stroking Perlis's head. "Don't be so stubborn. How can you participate in the competition when you can't even get out of the garden at the door?"
Listening to what Carly said, Perlis gently shifted her gaze downwards, only to find that she was lying on Carly's body.
"..babble..."
A blush crept up onto Perlis's face. She tried to stand up in panic, but was hugged by Carly.
"Well!"
"Why are you running, you reckless girl?" Carly looked at Pearlis in her arms with a smile, and stroked her head lovingly.
"Enough...enough! Carly!" Perlis rolled over in Carly's embrace, her little face flushed. "I...I'm not your doll! Stop...stop hugging me!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
The laughter floated out of the window and floated towards the brilliant sky of Wilkin, interweaving with the sunlight, weaving a brilliant scene that was no less brilliant than that of spring. Even in winter, this oasis country on the east side of the Admir continent was still sunny and prosperous.
After escaping from the iron fortress on the Wanren Mountain, Perlis has been staying in this mansion for almost half a month. During these days, she has been working hard to rehabilitate her body, just to recover from the scars left on her body by blood and steel.
But it was still somewhat difficult after all. During this long road of rehabilitation, Perlis felt that her body was not working properly everywhere, like a broken motorcycle that had been out of repair for a long time, and it was very awkward to do anything.
This made her more and more anxious, and finally, half a month later, she still seemed unable to fight as calmly as she had in her peak period.
"Ugh...."
Sitting on the bed, Perlis sighed and looked down at her slender and well-proportioned legs, feeling a little melancholy. She has always been proud of her legs, but not just because of their beautiful appearance. Her legs are extremely flexible, which can help her maintain high mobility on the battlefield quickly, allowing her to move calmly between gunfire and rain of bullets, which is the foundation of [Pure White Fireworks].
