Chapter 397: Shiva and Kali
A Heaven-grade potency possessed the power to destroy a city. Although it was true that this depended on the defenses, as long as there was no defensive mechanism or power capable of threatening it, a Heaven-grade power was more than enough to cause dread among humans.
On the other hand, a God grade power possessed the might to defy humanity. Even the Human Emperor had to be cautious and careful with such beings since he himself was within such a power level. In short, a God-grade power possessed enough power to threaten the existence and prosperity of all humans.
As for Saint-grade powers... Such beings possessed the might to annihilate all of humanity completely. While it was true that the major cities had their own defensive barriers and attack arrays, an existence of such a level only needed time before wiping out everything.
On the Adastreia Continent, there were few Saint grade beings, but only one was all that was needed for humans to fall into chaos.
These beings did not attack humanity for different reasons; some were simply uninterested, others were simply too lazy and comfortable in their own territories, while others might even become a little curious about humans.
However, the truth was that the main reason why none of these beings attacked mankind was because of the existence of two terrifying beings.
The first of these beings was Goddess Mei Hen.
Although Goddess Mei Hen had disappeared for many years, her past power and prestige had not been forgotten by any of these ancient Saint grade powers. Even among the same level powers, there were differences; and the Goddess Mei Hen was undoubtedly one of the most powerful among the ranks.
The other was the Light Saint Dragon.
The Light Saint Dragon was undoubtedly among the most powerful of all the Saint grade powers. In fact, from a certain point of view, it could be considered that its terror and dominance were even superior to that of the Goddess Protector of mankind.
After all, dragons were dominant and terrifying beings from birth and as they evolved and advanced through the ranks of power, their robust and powerful bodies only became infinitely more frightening.
However, the Light Saint Dragon owed no debt to the human race. Therefore, King Hu Yi did not dare to gamble the safety of mankind.
"King..." Uncle Fu looked at King Hu Yi with a complex gaze.
The body of the man who appeared to be middle-aged shivered slightly and his teeth were clenched tightly to force himself to remain calm. However, regardless of the pain or fear he might feel, King Hu Yi did not take a step back and advanced boldly.
"Uncle Fu... I entrust my son to you." After saying this, King Hu Yi turned around and silently departed.
Soon, alone, he arrived at a place deep in the palace where an army of twenty thousand armed men waited in an orderly fashion.
Each of these twenty thousand men wore deep golden heavy armor and different weapons. Some had swords, some had spears, some carried gate-shaped shields measuring about two meters, some carried bows, etc.
Seeing the king approaching with a serious expression, none of the standing men hesitated and all of them stood looking at him with fervor.
This was the first time in over two hundred years that all the Golden Army was fully assembled and all of them knew what the king's call meant.
War!
Although many were curious to know what kind of enemy required the gathering of them all, no one said anything and simply remained silent with their backs as straight as a spear.
The king looked at these men with a touch of regret and a touch of pride.
Each of these soldiers were all above level 80, the highest level among them being level 99. It was extremely difficult for the humans of the Adastreia Continent to reach such heights, after all, they were not like the players who came from another world and who could revive infinitely no matter how many times they died... One death was all they needed to suffer for it to be over for them.
Under such conditions, climbing and leveling up was simply too difficult and only one in ten thousand people could accomplish such a feat.
All these men were the strongest elites of mankind. However, no matter how strong they were, King Hu Yi knew that this time probably none of them would be able to return back home.
Because the enemy they faced was one that could not be won against no matter how elite they were.
Each one of them had their own family, their own life... How could King Hu Yi not feel pain knowing that his order was sending to their deaths these brave men who were the hope of mankind?
However, as King of the North, he had no choice.
Eternal Wind City was under his ruling jurisdiction and the humans residing there and in the surrounding area numbered several million... King Hu Yi could not allow so many innocent lives to be sacrificed just like that.
Sometimes, being a king was too hard.. Sometimes, King Hu Yi wished he wasn't the mighty King of the North.
Because that way he wouldn't have to give such a painful order.
"Depart!"
A deep light illuminated the room and an array shone under everyone's feet.
King Hu Yi's body glowed for an instant and the next moment there was a gray-colored leather armor. However, the most striking thing was the bow in his hands.
The bow was deep green in color and its string was golden in color. Countless red colored runes surrounded its body like pulsating veins, giving it an extremely strange and eye-catching appearance but surprisingly it didn't look bad at all. However, the most striking thing about this bow was its size.
The bow was almost as tall as King Hu Yi, reaching an astonishing height of 5'7"!
The eyes of all the soldiers lit up with fervor at the sight of this weapon and their confidence increased greatly.
Soon, the array around them shone even more brightly, its light covering the entire room.
When the bright light disappeared, the army of twenty thousand men and the king could no longer be seen anywhere.
Before leaving, King Hu Yi had also given a series of orders to the high command of Eminentis City to move the citizens to the southern gate, away from the northern part of the city as it was the closest area in case the enemy attacked this city later.
At the same time, countless magic arrays with all kinds of elemental spells silently lit up the moment to attack.
* * *
Eternal Wind City.
On the outskirts of the city, Xie Feng had no idea that the disaster was getting closer and closer and at this moment he was casually chatting with little Shui Wuhen.
The girl's mother, Yue Qingyu, had returned to the city to pack some important belongings for the mother-daughter duo. At the same time, the kind housewife had wanted to say goodbye to some people who had treated her family well.
On the other hand, Shui Wuhen, who was not particularly close to anyone, decided to stick close to Xie Feng like a piece of chewing gum.
As the two chatted, with Xie Feng telling the girl stories, kidding around and sharing some jokes making her laugh merrily, he quickly noticed the group of Xie Yao and the rest of the girls leaving the north gate of the city and approaching in his direction.
However, just as he stood up and was about to approach, he noticed that, apart from Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Yao Mei, there were two other people with them.
One of these people was a beautiful warrior. Her silver-colored armor hugged her seductive body tightly and the curve of her waist was especially eye-catching along with her generous bust. As this woman was not wearing a mask at the moment, Xie Feng recognized her quickly.
She was Yin Yue.
However, the problem was the other person.
This second person had silver hair like moonlight, her pure white robe clung softly to her perfect body and instead of making her look seductive it gave her an extremely soft and pure appearance but without losing charm in any way.
As for her face... Xie Feng had never seen such a beautiful woman in his entire life. Even the two most beautiful women he had seen so far, Mu Wuying and Shen Xinya, suffered greatly in comparison.
Her eyes the same color as her hair, her white skin was so perfect that it seemed to shine and reflect the sun's rays, giving her a sacred and majestic appearance that no man would think of desecrating even in his inner thoughts.
The difference was simply too great to describe. If Shen Xinya and Mu Wuying were two of the most beautiful women in humanity, then the woman in front of him was a goddess of the heavens; no paragon and no scale to compare.
However... Xie Feng remembered seeing that same hair color and robe once about a month ago.
Wasn't that Kali?
During the battle against the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon, Xie Feng had fought alongside Kali and Yao Mei to stop the beast and it was only thanks to the two of them that he managed to charge an attack strong enough to kill it.
At first, when Xie Feng couldn't see Shen Xinya together with the other girls, he felt confused. But a wild idea flashed in his mind and he couldn't help but be stupefied at the realization.
