The First Magic World War

Emilia's tiny frame stood at the bow of the ship, causing saints engaged in high-altitude combat to wonder: what exactly was this little girl?

Although the saints of Charles' side knew she was the child of Omibella and Charles, this concept was just too much like that of the Evil God, and nobody dared to fully believe it.

The saints from the New World Conference had just witnessed Montblanc's "death" and felt the terror emanating from the little girl. Now, a new thought emerged: "Could this little girl be the Evil God?"

"But how could a bona fide Evil God maintain a human form?"

Avesh summoned the Evil God Arunreshanmosu! This addition brought a wholly new twist to the battle, prompting the saints on both sides to withdraw from combat. The saints from Charles' side returned to their own ship, while those from the New World Conference gathered around Avesh and Mocher since their vessel was hardly safe.

Charles didn't return to the Holy Light Divine State Title, continuing to drift alone in the high sky.

He might have been a little afraid of heights, but right then, he was enamored with the feeling of unbridled freedom.

It was like that excitement when you first learn to ride a bike and want to touch the handlebars every day, or when you learn to drive and wish to sleep in the car. Charles, newly advanced to sacred level, was more fascinated by flying freely above ground than the increase in power.

Especially since the Evil God Arunreshanmosu was so huge, almost surpassing a medium-sized city, Charles didn't believe such a massive being could actually take flight.

If it could fly and plummet to the ground, he doubted there would be any city that could withstand such a shattering blow.

As the saints retreated, both fleets tacitly exited the scene, leaving the battleground to two Legendary Warships going head-to-head with the ocean monster Arunreshanmosu, an entity of Evil God stature.

The creature quickly extended a second tentacle, made of sea water, longer and thicker than the first, and struck down once more. Only this time, a hint of dark fluid flowed within, meandering inside the water tendril.

Charles suddenly accelerated in the air, with a Flame Knight Lance materializing in his hands. He thrust fiercely into the giant water tentacle, then circled around it frantically.

Charles had already tested that Blood Rose could slash through the creature's watery body. In his hands was the Flame Knight Lance, its power derived from the Flame Evil God Anululu, and it easily pierced the creature's tentacle.

Charles wielded the Wings of Heaven gunmanship to its fullest, each loop puncturing hundreds of holes. After seventy to eighty rounds, the massive water tentacle was riddled with openings. The divine power sustaining it was severed, and the whole length collapsed.

After being breached by Charles Meklen, the colossal tentacle, purely composed of sea water, turned from illusion to flesh and blood.

Upon seeing this, Emilia's eyes gleamed with excitement. She commanded the Emilia Vessel to ram into it full-force; the front of the Legendary Warship suddenly opened into a massive maw, taking a vicious bite.

Juno followed the Holy Light Divine Kingdom to the seabed but still sensed the battle above. Just as he was about to join the fray, he felt the Holy Light Divine Kingdom becoming difficult to control. The whole ship suddenly transformed into a giant whale and with incredible speed, surged to the surface to bite the other end of the flesh and blood tendril.

One peculiar Legendary Warship and another even stranger one, were like two creatures clamping on a small insect or bird, competing to see who could devour it faster!

Avesh, though witnessing the scene, was completely absorbed in controlling Arunreshanmosu, the Evil God. He dared not relax one bit, not even allowing his emotions to fluctuate too greatly!

Gareth had also once controlled the Flame Evil God, but the end result was his soul being eroded by Anurulu, torn into bits, which Charles opportunely collected as his subordinates.

In the New Continent, these Sacred level figures encountered chances to contact the Evil God thousands of times more than those in the Old Continent. How to borrow the power of the Evil God? It was a secret art in the Old Continent, but in the New Continent, it was common knowledge. Countless secret techniques were created, and most Sacred level figures in the New Continent could borrow some power of the Evil God. Avesh's methods of manipulating the Evil God were far more sophisticated than Gareth's.

Of course, borrowing the power of the Evil God and one's own power were entirely different. It couldn't be easily invoked and was not without consequence. If it wasn't for important battles, most Sacred levels in the New Continent would not use this kind of secret technique to decide the outcome. They would rather each take a step back and seek a non-combative solution.

Mocher whispered, "Can you still hold on?"

Avesh whispered back, "I can sustain it for at most another fifteen minutes! After that, you'll take over the battle."

Mocher said, "I suggest, if we can't finish off Charles Meklen within ten minutes, we should retreat first. We came back to the Old Continent to seek space to survive, not to fight to the death. We've already lost too many people."

"If you and I both exhaust our spirits, they will not leave us any chance to live."

Avesh hummed angrily, but he knew well that once his spirituality was drained, Mocher wouldn't take over the battle; he would leave early. Avesh had no choice but to agree with Mocher's suggestion. If Arunreshanmosu could not secure victory, he had to reserve his strength and lead the members of the New World Conference to withdraw.

Avesh shrieked, and this time Arunreshanmosu extended dozens of tendrils, wildly thrashing around!

Faced with such a berserk attack, Ivonna, King of the Giant Whales, bit through the tentacles and plummeted into the sea.

Emilia glanced at the dozens of tendril that were kilometers long and improbably thick, smashing down towards her. Her little face remained composed at first, then her pert little nose twitched slightly, and she burst into tears, crying out, "Daddy!"

"Daddy, a monster is attacking Emilia!"

She sprang up and flew towards Charles, as the massive Emilia Vessel shifted from solid to ethereal, vanishing above the sea.

Dozens of massive, indomitable tentacles of seawater crashed down, conjuring towering waves. The sea outside Black Phoenix City seemed to undergo a massive tsunami, a rare event that occurs only once in hundreds of years. The entire sea turned into murky waves, raging and spreading. The sea grew turbid, and countless fish, shrimp, and marine creatures perished as a result.

Charles wrapped his arms around Emilia as if he had clinched... Well, "hot potato" no longer sufficed to describe Emilia; it lacked the class!

Charles really felt as if he was embracing a volcano on the brink of eruption, a volcano that, feeling aggrieved, sobbed and repeatedly called out, "Daddy, that monster bullied me, help Emilia beat him."

Charles hesitated, then relented to Earth customs, "Don't be afraid, Emilia! Monsters are bad, we'll beat it."

He worriedly thought to himself, "This thing is so big! How on earth can we beat it?"
