Chapter 878 - 450: Slaying the Divine Abomination, Eliminating Hidden Threats
Jade Phoenix Alliance.A specialized organization once composed of 13 Jade Phoenix Mages.
The number thirteen has special significance in the field of mysticism.
Just like the thirteen families of the Lokeshi Empire’s bloodline.
Now, the Jade Phoenix Alliance exists in name only.
The escape of the Cosmic Serpent caused immeasurable loss to the Jade Phoenix Alliance’s demi-plane.
The Council of Sages is still in mourning.
Because Grand Speaker Tom suddenly went missing, it’s recently been confirmed he’s deceased, causing chaos over there.
Many in the Council of Sages didn’t realize Grand Speaker Tom was a Jade Phoenix Mage.
With magic far surpassing ordinary mages, no one considered that the old mage was practically half a melee professional.
Now, the Grand Speaker rests in the Jade Phoenix Alliance.
If it weren’t for his strong resistance against the Cosmic Serpent, keeping half its body trapped in the demi-plane, Louis and the others wouldn’t have been able to stop the fully escaped Cosmic Serpent.
Now, with the Cosmic Serpent’s death, the remaining segment of serpent’s body has become a latent bomb.
Let’s be frank—are there Jade Phoenix Mages who want to take this valuable Divine Realm resource?
Yes.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a Divine Realm resource?
But would they dare take it?
They don’t even dare inform the forces behind them.
The battle with the Cosmic Serpent has taught everyone that without a Divine Realm existence leading, it’s best not to covet this thing.
Dare to covet, dare to die.
Even if you successfully take these resources, you will surely be forced to return them under after accountability.
After all, strictly speaking, this doesn’t count as a trophy for the Jade Phoenix Mages’ supporter nations.
It’s the trophy of Louis and other strong individuals.
Moreover, this divine carcass is mutating rapidly.
If they transport the divine carcass away under the guise of protection, what awaits them may not be good.
As proven, they guessed correctly.
Not long after the Cosmic Serpent’s death, that half corpse began to undergo mutation.
It seems to be growing flesh.
This is not a good sign.
Because it means the divine carcass is rapidly transforming from a mere body into a new life.
And they will witness firsthand the transformation from divine carcass to Divine Abomination.
No one wants to see the Cosmic Serpent’s corpse turn into a Divine Abomination.
It was already a monster beyond comprehensible scope; becoming a Divine Abomination could lead to unknown occurrences.
So they immediately chose to seek help.
In fact, they sent requests for help to multiple forces simultaneously.
Not out of dirty intentions, but mainly fearing Ense’s side might not make it in time, leading to a major mistake.
No one expected all forces, upon hearing the prince himself would be coming, to frankly state they need not come.
Quickly bring out the Prince of the Empire.jpg
With him present, why would they come only to be embarrassed?
That’s how all forces expressed their thoughts.
So when Louis and the Little Swan arrived on site, they found representatives from various forces already waiting there.
Louis looked at the Little Swan:
"Didn’t you say they wouldn’t come?"
Olivia also hesitated:
"Maybe they came to greet you."
After all, opportunities to reasonably interact with Louis are rare, and coming under the guise of assisting the Jade Phoenix Alliance, there’s no harm in meeting the Prince of the Empire.
It proved she guessed right.
These force representatives promptly clarified they have no ulterior motives regarding the Cosmic Serpent.
They mainly came to assist in operations, prevent accidents, and evacuate crowds.
Some even candidly stated they don’t intend to partake in the division of the Cosmic Serpent’s—oops, allocation.
It just shows that even the aging Little Swan doesn’t clearly grasp the shamelessness of high-level forces.
She spent years primarily seeking problem-solving methods outside.
During her early years, she lacked interactions with officials, nobles, and other forces.
Fortunately, everyone knows Louis’s purpose in heading to the Jade Phoenix Alliance and dares not delay further.
On their way to the demi-plane, the Little Swan complained:
"Who could have thought they’d utter assistance for defense just to meet?"
Louis shrugged and said:
"There’s no way around it, that’s how strength works—limited below, praised above.
Let’s not talk about this.
Are you taking me directly? Any objections from other Jade Phoenix Mages?"
"What objections could they have? With the Cosmic Serpent dealt with, the Jade Phoenix Alliance barely exists, they’re lucky if they don’t worry we’ll seize their legacy."
Louis thought for a moment and felt the Little Swan made sense.
The existence of the Jade Phoenix Alliance was to contain the Cosmic Serpent.
Indeed, Jade Phoenix Mages existed because the Star Will required a profession to target the Cosmic Serpent.
This profession, with no cost and perfect post-death resurrection, is clearly the handiwork of the Star Will.
Louis suspected that years ago, due to the immense power of the Cosmic Serpent, the Star Will had to let many professionals switch to being Jade Phoenix Mages to injure and seal it.
After the Cosmic Serpent was sealed, fewer Jade Phoenix Mages were needed for guarding the seal.
