Atop the Mage Tower.
Looking at the brilliant magic barriers rising outside, Hikari sighed: "This world is more interesting than I imagined!"
Shion smiled: "Of course, magic here is very interesting! By the way, you browsed through so many magic books just now; do you also want to cultivate magic?"
Hikari shook her head: "No, I just recorded this knowledge with 'Yachihoko'."
To let Shion become a Supreme Mage faster, the other five Supreme Mages of the Six Rings World opened their libraries to her. So although Hikari only recorded the magic books in Shion's Mage Tower, the recorded magic had reached more than 80% of the Six Rings World.
Shion asked: "Why record these? Did Shinji order it?"
Hikari nodded slightly: "En, Shinji is worried that this knowledge will be lost!"
"Sigh!"
Shion sighed softly.
Although she usually acted like an unruly young lady, she was actually very sensitive. So she understood the situation of the Six Rings World and the danger of this battle.
Hikari looked around at this time: "With so many magic circles activated, the war should start soon, right?"
Shion nodded: "Everything is ready, just waiting for Shinji to release the Propagation Hegemon's body!"
Through the magic barrier of the Supreme Mages, she perceived that within just a few hours, the entire Six Rings World had completed its final armament.
The positions centered on the six Mage Towers gathered almost ninety percent of the magicians in the Six Rings World. And the eight 'Lampbearers' also used various instruments to reinforce the Six Rings World. All war preparations were complete, just waiting for Shinji to act.
On the cliff top.
"Mage corps deployment complete..."
"Magic barrier activation rate 90%... 93%... 98%... 100%..."
"Gravitational reinforcement device activated..."
"Continental shelf plate reinforcement pillar deployment rate 82%... 88%... 92%... 100%..."
"Magic barrier has activated maximum magic output... sustainable time 7 hours 12 minutes..."
The technological sphere 'Madoka' circled around Shinji, broadcasting the preparation status of various places.
Actually, with Shinji's current perception, even without 'Madoka's' real-time report, he could roughly figure out the war preparation situation of the Six Rings World. But obviously, 'Madoka' was more convenient.
Glancing at 'Madoka', Shinji's gaze sharpened: "Notify everyone, the war has begun!"
"Yes!"
'Madoka' immediately conveyed Shinji's order to everyone.
Shinji waved his hand: "Go evacuate!"
'Madoka' flashed its signal lights: "I have uploaded a backup. Even if the body is damaged, the data can be recovered, so please let me stay by your side!"
"It can't be recovered. Go evacuate!"
Shinji chuckled lightly, then ignored 'Madoka'.
A Hegemon-level great war transcended common sense. Just like Shinji's previous battle with the Bewitching Hegemon, by the end, time and space fell completely into chaos. Under such circumstances, once affected, let alone uploading data, even rewinding time might not necessarily save it.
'Madoka' seemed to 'think' for a moment, then evacuated rapidly.
At this time, Shinji cast his gaze on the 'Chibaku Tensei' in the sky and muttered to himself: "Let's begin!"
After saying that, his right hand grasped at the void in the sky.
Rumble...
In an instant, the 'Chibaku Tensei' suspended above the atmosphere collapsed instantly, falling towards the ground like a meteor!
Under the friction of the atmosphere, these falling meteorites all turned into dazzling fireballs, illuminating the sky of the entire Six Rings World.
This terrifying scene was seen by both the Supreme Mages on the Mage Towers and the 'Lampbearers' in their respective defense zones!
"War has broken out!"
Instantly, a thought flashed through all their minds.
The largest piece among the meteorites, under the traction of Shinji's 'Bansho Ten'in', fell towards the area where Shinji was located. Because inside this largest meteorite, that part of the Propagation Hegemon's remnant body was still imprisoned.
Boom!
After the meteorite landed, the Propagation Hegemon's remnant body quickly broke free from the ruins, turning into a giant black snake, overturning mountains and seas amidst the peaks. The surrounding peaks were as fragile as tofu in front of this giant black snake, shattering at a touch.
Standing on the cliff top, Shinji silently watched the escaped Propagation Hegemon's remnant body thrashing amidst the mountains.
Currently, this part of the Propagation Hegemon's body was in the same predicament as the Six Rings World. If the main body of the Propagation Hegemon didn't come to retrieve this part of the body, then the ultimate fate of this part would likely be swallowed by the Plague Hegemon along with the Six Rings World.
So Shinji was betting, betting that the Propagation Hegemon, sensing part of its body breaking free, would risk coming back to retrieve this part.
Rumble...
The giant black snake was still wreaking havoc in the mountains, seemingly venting its anger from being sealed. However, after a while, it discovered Shinji on the distant cliff.
But contrary to Shinji's expectation, the giant black snake didn't pounce on him immediately but moved away from him rapidly, appearing even somewhat panicked.
Shinji whispered: "As expected of a Hegemon, very keen judgment!"
In terms of current power comparison, the Propagation Hegemon's remnant body trapped in the Six Rings World was obviously not a match for Shinji, a 'Kekkei Shinra' (Bloodline of All Creation). Back when Shinji was still at the 'Kekkei Mora' (Bloodline Encompassing) level, he could seal it, let alone now.
Shinji thought for a moment, then rose into the air, deciding to take action.
He knew the Plague Hegemon's infiltration into the Six Rings World was severe, so the Plague Hegemon must know what was happening inside the Six Rings World. Since the escape of the Propagation Hegemon's remnant body failed to provoke the Plague Hegemon to act, he could only raise the stakes, posturing to annihilate the Propagation Hegemon's remnant body, forcing the Plague Hegemon to act!
Having made up his mind, Shinji instantly activated 'Kamimusubi', initiated the second stage, and entered 'Divine Sovereign Mode'. The 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' in his hand flashed out, stabbing towards the fleeing giant black snake with one sword strike.
Swish...
In the next instant, the golden sword in Shinji's hand pierced the giant black snake, pinning it to the spot.
The giant black snake writhed and struggled frantically on the ground, attempting to break free from the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' in Shinji's hand. However, all its struggles were futile. Not only did it fail to break free, but it also sprayed its blood all around.
Rumble...
Just then, a soul-shaking thunderclap rang out from the firmament!
Shinji looked up, the corners of his mouth curling up: "You guy finally couldn't hold back!"
Undoubtedly, as Shinji laid a deadly hand on the Propagation Hegemon's remnant body, the Plague Hegemon entrenched outside the spatial barrier could no longer rest easy. Because the Propagation Hegemon's remnant body contained a massive amount of the Propagation Hegemon's information. The benefit of swallowing this remnant body was no less than swallowing a world. Therefore, both this part of the remnant body and the Six Rings World were things the Plague Hegemon was determined to win...
