Chapter 1378: Final Countdown

“Hurry up and get out of here!”

Upon seeing Rhode, no one jumped forward to welcome him. On the contrary, along with Marlene’s order, the people who were still on the city wall retreated quickly. They weren’t fools. They knew that this wasn’t the time for a love affair. Rhode had a hard time slaughtering his way out, and if they were to waste time here, his efforts would be for naught.

Thus after seeing that Rhode was safe and sound, everyone activated their teleportation ritual. In a series of magical brilliance that flashed by their vision, the people on the city wall vanished entirely, leaving behind only Lillian and Christie who were holding onto their spot.

It was so close yet so far. Even though at first glance, it seemed like Rhode had broken out of danger and returned, Christie knew clearly that it was just an illusion caused by his enormous size as the Void Dragon. Currently, Rhode had just found a path that led to the land of Order in the Dragon Soul Continent, but wasn’t able to return yet.

Of course, the others were also aware of that. But they knew they couldn’t be of much help, so they were relieved to have Lillian watching over Christie instead. Although Lillian was still young, she was a Light Dragon, after all. Hence, she would be able to respond in case of an emergency. But others didn’t possess her abilities. If an accident were to happen, it would only add to the chaos. At such a critical moment, not being a hindrance was the biggest help they could offer.

And now, Rhode was also doing his best to get out of trouble. As Marlene and the rest expected had earlier, there were too many Chaos creatures, and once again, Rhode had a taste of what ‘a tiger was no match for a pack of wolves’ meant.

In terms of absolute strength, although the Chaos creatures were no match for him, the human wave attack overwhelmed him and made him feel mountainous pressure. At first, he used his dragon’s breath to clear the way, but found that it was time-consuming and exhausting. Hence, he simply rushed forward with his head lowered. Since he had the Chaos Eye serving as a beacon and marker, he didn’t need to worry about heading the wrong way.

But this way, the rest with him had a bitter time. Not only were the three deity wardens exhausted, but Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were also worn out. What’s more, their strength wasn’t infinite, and although they withstood the onslaught of Chaos, they also reached the point of collapse.

Christie’s support could be said to be a timely help for everyone. With Lillian’s support, Christie’s power was maximized. And for the first time, Order overwhelmed Chaos and forcefully opened a path across Chaos for Rhode. Judging from this point, Christie’s ability of ‘creating reality and destiny’ wasn’t inferior to that of the Void Dragon’s.

However, she had too much to do and a weak constitution. Not only that, but also as the head of the seven deity wardens, the other Christie had to remain in the Seven Fantasy Boundaries to ensure that the connection between the four main elemental planes and the main plane wasn’t disrupted. Thus, it was only at that moment and in the face of the dangerous situation that Christie finally took action.

Meanwhile, Rhode was no fool either. Upon witnessing the path of Order that Christie opened up for him, he pulled himself together and flew toward the direction of the Dragon Soul Continent. Although the Chaos creatures were still shrieking and pouncing to stop him, they were unsuccessful. The empty air seemed to have transformed into the toughest barrier, blocking the way of the Chaos creatures.

Christie was giving her best, so Rhode wouldn’t let her down. He spread his wings and pushed his speed to the limit. The whistling winds struck his body like knives, but at that moment, he was unconcerned about such a trivial matter. To him, nothing was more important than making it out alive!

Christie helped Rhode solve the biggest problem and the latter didn’t hold her back. In a few moments, he emerged from Chaos and returned to the Void Territory. At that moment, Christie couldn’t hold on any longer. Even though she inherited both Rhode’s and his younger sister’s power, her constitution was still too weak. Even with the help of the other Christie, it still wasn’t easy for her to keep going.

Earlier, she gnashed her teeth and held on, but after seeing Rhode flee safely from the Chaos creatures, she felt relieved. She plopped to the ground and along with that, the golden feather pen in her hand dissipated instantly. The power of Chaos that regained control of itself erupted all of a sudden. The patterns on the pure white scroll shattered, turning into spots of light dust that scattered in the air.

“Christie, let’s go!”

At that moment, Lillian withdrew her power hastily and looked at the Chaos fog in the distance. After breaking free from Christie’s control and Lillian’s power as the Light Dragon, Chaos bellowed like a pouring torrent. It pursued Rhode closely with a frantic screech as if a shadow of the Void Dragon that couldn’t be shaken off.

Looking at this scene, Lillian was stunned. She held Christie’s hand hurriedly and a dazzling bright light erupted from her petite body instantly. Seconds later, the Light Dragon emanating a blinding radiance appeared out of nowhere, spreading her wings and flying high in the sky. Christie, on the other hand, sat quietly atop the Light Dragon, looking at Rhode behind her with a pale face.

“Lillian, you girls leave this place with Canary and the others. I’ll deal with the rest!”

At that moment, Rhode spotted the large Light Dragon and gave his orders without hesitation. And upon hearing his commands, Lillian nodded and left quickly. She was, after all, a Light Dragon, and her exertion of power in the Void Territory wasn’t as great as Rhode’s. Previously, Rhode was cut off from Order because he was within the range of the Chaos fog, causing him to lose his position and influence. But now, after returning to his own territory, the Void Territory, he instantly became the master instead!

“Got it, Big Brother Rhode!”

Lillian knew what was at stake. She was less nervous after Rhode returned to her side. When she heard his order, she responded hurriedly. She looked forward, and her golden eyes emanated a hazy glow. Soon after, the golden hazy light coalesced on Rhode’s back. A dazzling mass of light sliced through the air and flew to Lillian’s side in seconds. It was only then that the group led by Canary and Mini Bubble Gum emerged from the light. Without any hesitation, Lillian grabbed the crowd, turned around, and flew toward the back.

And after witnessing Lillian’s departure, Rhode turned around and stared at the Chaos fog in front of him. Then, he spread his enormous wings…

Countless, flickering bright lights flowed down the edges of his wings like rivers of stars, spreading out in all directions. In an instant, the stars in the night sky seemed to shine like diamonds. And soon, a thunderous roar reverberated throughout the clouds.

It has started!

Upon hearing the thunderclap, the young lady raised her head. And for the first time, an excited expression appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. She watched as the dark towers towering into the clouds, located in all directions of Grandia, gradually changed colors. The stars in the sky flickered and the pitch-black towers trembled. Soon after, pure white pillars of light erupted and burst into the sky.

At the next moment, the stars in the sky linked up. A pure white barrier that enfolded the heavens merged into one with the passage that erupted from the Door of Akasha. Soon after, a gap appeared in it. And upon seeing the gap, Rhode’s younger sister’s eyes glinted with excitement. It was exactly what she wished for; the only hope of leaving this Chaos-infested place! A marker from another world!

It has begun!

Upon sensing the constant, fluctuating signals generated from the beacon towers, Rhode couldn’t help but feel tense. He widened his eyes and at that moment, his vision was completely free from his body, gradually pulling outward like a lens. Soon, he saw the Void Territory, Land of Atonement, Munn Kingdom, Country of Light, Country of Law, Country of Darkness… followed by the entirety of the Dragon Soul Continent.

The surging power of Order roared like powered engines, each doing their job, spreading and resonating the waves of Order through the beacon towers, forming a perfect and flawless barrier that separated the boundaries of Order and Chaos. The earth trembled and rose upward, reaching toward heaven and transforming into a solid, tangible barrier.

Immediately afterward, Rhode sensed a wave of power erupted from the central point, instantly enveloping the entirety of the Dragon Soul Continent.

At the next moment, heaven and earth changed abruptly.

Space ruptured, and the exploding brilliance of the plane of existences shrouded the whole of the Dragon Soul Continent. The crumbling and shattered earth and space fell mercilessly from the solid world, scattering and being engulfed by the cracks in the void. The Chaos fog shrieked and faded into the void storm as if it were swept into a whirlwind.

In the mere blink of an eye, one-fifth of the vast Dragon Soul Continent cracked and split apart, disappearing in an instant. The Plane Destruction Bombs tore through the barriers of space and time cruelly, bringing everything into nothingness.

“I hope our sacrifice is worth it this time.”

Looking at the disintegrated earth, a few glints flashed in Rhode’s eyes. But soon, he raised his head once again and looked into the sky.

He saw the void growing inexorably larger, as if it were a ring that fell onto the land from the sky and was about to envelop the entire continent within it.
