The First Magic World War

Charles let out a hiss, awakening from the blood feast meditation technique.

His entire body was drenched in sweat, soaking all his clothes. Had he made even the slightest mistake just now, he might have fallen.

Charles knew the five divine creatures aboard the Holy Light Divine State Title were sufficiently sinister and had always been on guard, yet he still hadn't anticipated nearly falling into their trap.

He had freed himself from the contamination of the Evil God's power, and by this time, the great battle was drawing to a close. The Holy Light Divine State Title and the Emilia Vessel were now vying for the last remnants of Agmillar's Labyrinth!

Charles breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard a voice behind him say, "Charles! You've also reaped a considerable harvest, haven't you?"

Recognizing the voice as that of his teacher, Juno Arthur, Charles replied, "What did you manage to seize, teacher?"

With a slight smile, Juno swallowed and refined a clump of flesh in his hand and said, "Neither of us got the biggest share!"

"I can sense that Agmillar is battling with three Evil Gods. Right until the last moment, He couldn't escape the clutches of those three Evil Gods. We obliterated His very being, yet at that same instant, He was divided up by those three Evil Gods."

"Now there are only thirty-five Great Evil Gods in the New Continent."

"The Labyrinth Evil God Agmillar has fallen forever."

"The crisis you feared, the descent of Agmillar, will never happen again."

Charles also closed his eyes, his entire body relaxing.

With a smile that wasn't quite a smile, Juno said, "However, because we all took part in divvying up Agmillar, we've all been branded by those three Evil Gods..."

Startled, Charles asked, "What does that mean?"

Juno shook his head and replied, "I'm not too sure either. I've tried but couldn't remove the brands of those three Evil Gods. You haven't reached the Sacred level yet and probably can't even sense it."

"However, there's a small piece of good news. The Holy Light Divine State Title and the Emilia Vessel weren't branded. They directly devoured the brands of those three Evil Gods."

Charles was at a loss for words!

The palace transformed by the Holy Light Divine State Title resonated with a thunderous noise, as all the buildings reappeared, along with the five figures on the platform, all restored to their positions. The sight of the graceful figure leading Amon made Charles's first instinct—hurry and leave!

Before departing, he glanced at the Emilia Vessel!

It was reassembling itself, still unrecognizable in form.

Charles had just appeared in the real world when he saw Juno emerge from the void. With a snap of his fingers, Juno collected Isemeren back into the Mirror World. At this time, the Holy Light Divine State Title had fully regained its original appearance, yet now it appeared even more majestic. The entire ship was enveloped in a five-colored radiance, imparting a sense of the divine, dignified, and immaculate among other mysterious feelings.

Of course, Charles knew this Legendary Warship had nothing to do with being divine, dignified, or immaculate.

He gazed out at the sea, Agmillar had vanished completely, and on the surface lay a mass as large as a mountain. It looked as though a city and a ship as vast as the city itself had been kneaded together to form a huge pile!

Charles shook his head and said to Juno, "Once Emilia recovers, we will set sail for home!"

Juno gave a slight smile and responded, "So, you're leaving that ghost fleet in the New Continent?"

After some thought, Charles replied, "I have no use for them; let them stay in the New Continent to guard Missouri and Black Gorge."

The ghost fleet that Charles had captured was already on its way back, and he had no desire to recall the fleet he had dispatched to the New Continent.

Charles took out his journal and flipped to the section on Agmillar's Labyrinth. A thought emerged in his mind: "Charles Meklen has successfully challenged the Labyrinth Evil God, Agmillar! Considering Agmillar has fallen, Charles Meklen, as the prime candidate of the Labyrinth Evil God, will temporarily assume the Divine Office of the God of the Labyrinth and gain control of six hundred and eighty-five labyrinths in the Agres Sea and one thousand five hundred labyrinth cities in the New Continent."

Suddenly, an extraordinary formation of runes coalesced within Charles's body.

It was thousands of times more complex than any runes Charles knew of. From this single rune, thousands of filaments extended out, linking to several hundred islands in the Agres Sea and every corner of the New Continent.

Charles stood stunned for a long moment before he realized he had received the largest and sweetest fruit of this deicidal venture!

On this journey, Charles could imagine that for a mere mortal with the Hetero Muscle Scripture, challenging a being like Agmillar was something an ordinary Transcendent would deem impossible! It was only because of Juno, the Holy Light Divine State Title, the birth of his daughter Emilia, and the once-in-an-epoch war against the Great Evil God, which entangled Agmillar, that he managed an opportunity to "steal the base."

Not one of these elements could be missing!

All enemies in the battle against Agmillar, including the three Evil Gods, Juno, the five Divine Creatures aboard the Holy Light Divine State Title, and Emilia herself, lacked the status of deity challengers. Hence, they could divide Agmillar's divine body, Energy, and essence, but they failed to seize the position of the Evil God.

Possibly as the first mortal in the recorded history of this Era to challenge an Evil God and succeed, Charles Meklen had received a reward that originally should have been impossible to obtain.

Charles took some time to become familiar with the rune of the Labyrinth Evil God's authority; he promptly disqualified all potential and reserve Evil Gods, severing their connection to the position.

Agmillar, in a bid to secure an endless supply of sustenance, had bestowed upon these people the labyrinth's Evil Force. It's unknown how much effort it took to spread his faith throughout the New Continent, letting these individuals struggle to obtain a city, mazify it, and then be coerced onto the path of challenging the Labyrinth Evil God. Whenever these individuals fell on their journey, their mazified cities would fall under Agmillar's control.

Countless preselected and reserve Evil Gods—all they had struggled for—eventually benefited the Labyrinth Evil God.

This was Agmillar's method of increasing his power.

This was the nature of an Evil God!

Charles didn't want to be an Evil God!

Nor did he wish for the challenge; he canceled these people's qualifications, and everyone who had been touched by Agmillar Evil God's Power was spared from the imminent descent of an Evil God. With just a light choice, all of Agmillar's efforts vanished into nothingness.

This choice likewise severed the path to increase power through the harvest of Evil God candidates in the future, but Charles harbored not an ounce of regret.

It took Emilia a full thirteen days to digest the Labyrinth Fragments of Agmillar that she had ingested.

When the Emilia Vessel reemerged on the vast ocean, even Charles couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What a beautiful ship."

Suddenly, three sinister and strange runes illuminated on his back, and a silver serpent's tail emerged from the void, encircling these three runes...
