Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 421 Chaos and Dusk

A deep space, shrouded by an endless and looming dark vortex.

The black floating islands hovered, layer upon layer, extending upwards, like a huge mountain range.

There are huge black chains connecting the islands, crisscrossing each other, but it does not give people a sense of disorder.

And on the island, golden palaces stand tall.

These palaces not only vary in size, but also in architectural styles.

Some are like golden churches in the sanctuary of dawn, full of a heavy feeling.

Some are like ordinary huts in the city-state, and some are built on trees.

There are also some that are as terrifyingly tall as the Mysterious Tower, towering into the sky.

Among them, on the topmost black island, there is a golden palace that looks like a church in the sanctuary of dawn, with forty-eight huge golden pillars supporting the triangular dome.

Going deeper inside, the crystal floor is bright, reflecting the three golden thrones on the tall and long steps.

Miriam, dressed in a golden robe and a golden mask, looked like a golden sculpture and held a golden scepter.

The eyes beneath the mask were like a whirlpool, seeing through layers of space.

"Christian..."

"How dare you use the final arrangement in the deep sea!"

The voice was slow and firm, and the tone was very stern, penetrating through layers of space.

And Audrina, who was beside her, looked at her with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

After a long while, a voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Christian said lazily:

"Mister Miriam~Are you blaming me?"

Miriam snorted coldly, but did not give a direct answer. Instead, she asked, "Christan, tell me your plan!"

"plan?"

Christian laughed and said, "As you can see, I caused a doomsday catastrophe in the deep sea."

"you!?"

Audrina quickly interrupted Miriam and said, "Christian, now is not the time to dwell on the past."

"You have to tell us the specific plan so that we can cooperate with you and complete this catastrophe."

"Especially since you have already deployed the deep sea deployment in advance, you can't waste this opportunity."

“That makes sense.” Christian’s smile faded and he snorted, “Miriam, I have no intention of arguing with you.”

"The reason why I used the deep sea layout is naturally because of my plan!"

"What is your plan? Don't you want to announce the name of Chaos in the deep sea and tell the Orthodox Church, the Wizarding School, and the evil gods who betrayed Chaos that Chaos will come?"

Miriam said with a hint of anger: "Do you know that it will take another two hundred years for those arrangements to mature?"

"Especially those 'Chaos Soul Seeds'. It's far from the time for them to appear."

"Of course I know this," Christian's tone also turned cold, "Miriam, are you sure you want to lecture me like this now?"

"enough!"

Audrina couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Miriam, Christian, that's enough!"

"I believe you know the current situation better than anyone else. If Christian's plan fails, not only will it waste several epochs of preparation, but it will also provoke a counterattack from the Orthodox Church and wizards."

"If we continue to argue, I'm afraid the three of us will all suffer the punishment of 'chaos'!"

Miriam narrowed her eyes, looked at Audrina with a little surprise, and then fell silent.

Christian seemed to be frightened by Audrina's sudden outburst, and said in a more gentle tone:

"I think you don't know the current situation of 'Chaos Island'."

Miriam and Audrina looked at each other, their eyes slightly solemn.

"Are you saying that you caused this doomsday catastrophe and that person from 'Chaos Island'?"

"That's true. The reason why we are launching this 'Deep Sea Doomsday' now is because of that adult's idea." Christian said coldly:

"It has reached its limit of patience and can't wait to leave the cage, so it orders me to activate 'Doomsday Catastrophe' now."

"My original plan was very simple. I just controlled the 'Isle of Chaos' and converted the people of the Red Moon Church. Finally, I tried to use the sacrifice of the Dusk Cult to lure Vaklav and others into that space."

"Unfortunately, before I could implement this plan, that adult had already contacted me..."

“Since it’s the order of that master…” Miriam paused and asked, “Christan, did it tell you how to remove the seal?”

"No. It just said it was going to cause a 'deep sea doomsday' and let more people die at sea."

Christian replied, "In addition, we must pay attention to the movements of the wizard school. It seems that the master wants to take action against the wizards as soon as the blockade is lifted."

"Who exactly is the wizard?" Miriam pondered.

"It's what you think."

Christian laughed a few times and said, "I think it still hates the wizard named Lister, right?"

"After all, it had just come into this world at that time, and was sealed in the deep sea by Wizard Lister. I'm afraid anyone else would be angry."

"Vaklav Samuel Capo? He is more difficult to deal with than the chief wizards of other schools!"

Audrina was a little surprised, but also felt it made sense.

Miriam's eyes wandered around the empty hall, and finally landed on the void in front of her. She asked in a low and authoritative voice:
"Now that 'Deep Sea Doomsday' has begun, Christian, how should your plan proceed next?"

At this time, Christian's figure condensed in the void, and there seemed to be a smile hidden in his cold eyes.

"First, I need to ensure that the 'Isle of Chaos' will not be noticed by those wizards. Especially since I will be dealing with the reinforcements coming from the Red Moon Church next."

“At the same time, I will send some people to various areas of the deep sea to provoke fights between several forces and let them kill each other.”

"Especially the Immortal Society and the Dusk Sect, the Glory Society and the Cordo Gazette Alliance, the Dawn and the Storm, and so on."

"As long as these forces are in chaos, they will no longer be able to resolve the impact of 'Deep Sea Doomsday'."

"Secondly, for the wizards..."

Christian paused, as if looking for the right words, "We can't take direct action, but we can achieve our goal through their enemies. Let their enemies become our pawns."

Miriam hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Are you going to use those secret existences?"

"That's right." There was a hint of sinisterness in Christian's voice. "They crave power and crave to overthrow the existing order. We only need to give them a little temptation to make them our hounds."

"However, wizards are not easy to deal with, especially Vaklav." Miriam's eyes revealed a trace of worry, "His intuition and power have always been something we are wary of."

Christian snorted contemptuously: "Although he is powerful, he is just a solitary wizard. As long as we plan properly, he will not be able to prevent the chaos of the entire deep sea and the four continents." "Christian, being overconfident is stupid." Miriam responded coldly, "We must consider that if we fail, not only will our plans be lost, but we will also be held accountable by that adult!"

Christian was silent. He knew that Miriam had a point.

Although they argued frequently, they had the same goal for "Chaos Coming".

"So, what do you suggest, Miriam?" Christian asked.

"I will personally go to the Cordo Sea to learn about the arrangements of the Twilight Cult." Miriam stood up, with a hint of unquestionable determination in her voice, "As for you, continue with your plan and ensure the fire of chaos!"

Christian nodded. He knew that Miriam was assigning tasks, but he did not object this time.

"So, what are you going to do with the Twilight Cult? Especially those two... um, 'Real' and 'Killing' kingdoms?" Kristan asked another question.

"I will arrange that matter on the way to the Cordo Sea." Miriam said lightly: "I already have some ideas."

"To be more specific, I'll let Audrina cooperate with me."

"I have no objection." Audrina nodded.

Christian did not ask any further questions. He knew that Miriam's ideas and methods were much better than his, so there was no need to intervene.

After the three people finished their conversation, Christian's figure disappeared into the void again.

"I'm leaving, Audrina."

After saying this, Miriam turned and stepped into a dark portal.

The hall returned to silence again, leaving only Audrina sitting alone on the golden throne, overlooking the entire Black Islands.

"I hope it can be successful this time."

"Countless years of waiting have already made me tired..."

……

……

In the strange space surrounded by the "Clothes of the World", there is a void space shrouded in endless darkness.

The boundary between black and white no longer exists, and a tall figure descends from the sky. It is the "Lord of Truth and Killing" McAllister.

"My people!"

McAllister's voice echoed in the "real" country, as if it came from all directions and was everywhere.

His figure sat on the central altar, his tall and majestic body wearing a golden robe embroidered with complex runes, and faintly revealing strange rays of light.

Believers in the “real” kingdom knelt and worshiped, their figures appearing submissive in the glow of black and white.

These people are the elites of the Twilight Sect in the real country, the so-called gravediggers and selectors of the founders.

"We are about to usher in our final glorious moment." McAllister said solemnly:
"I need the strong among you to occupy a path to that world for us."

His eyes swept over everyone present, finally stopping on a man in a black robe with a stern face.

This man's name is Silas, and he is one of the most outstanding founders of the "real" country.

"Silas, you will lead our vanguard to sneak into that world and cooperate with the other founders to pave the way for the sacrificial ceremony." McAllister ordered.

Silas knelt on one knee and bowed his head and responded: "As you command, great Lord. I will fulfill my mission."

McAllister nodded with satisfaction.

"This time I will let dusk cover that world."

"By then, there will be no dawn, no night, only the glory of dusk!"

"Glory!" Silas patted his chest and growled.

"glory!"

"glory!"

All the believers dressed in golden strips of cloth shouted in unison, and their voices shook the entire real kingdom.

And in the middle, there is a square formation of ten thousand people.

They were not wrapped in cloth or wearing yellow robes representing dusk, but instead were dressed in black robes.

The leader was Claire holding the scepter.

She looked silently at the crowd not far away, pursing her lips slightly.

Is this day finally coming?
"Claire!" McAllister's voice rang out again.

Claire took a deep breath, stepped out of the square formation of 10,000 people, and looked at McAllister who was sitting high on the altar.

Her eyes regained their firmness, and her black robe fluttered in the wind, like a mysterious messenger in the night.

"Great McAllister, your brilliance will illuminate every corner of the dusk." Claire's voice was calm, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes.

McAllister turned his gaze towards her, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Claire, you are one of the people I trust the most. Tell me, what do you think of the upcoming war?"

Claire lowered her head slightly, her mind racing, and spoke after a moment:
"I think we should be more careful to avoid being discovered by those wizards before the ceremony begins."

"You said before that there is a catastrophe in the deep sea. If that's the case, why not hide your coming under the guise of curiosity?"

"Are you worried about changes?" McAllister's voice was slightly puzzled.

"Yes, the wizards are not simple characters, especially the chief wizard of Vaklav. I believe he must be watching in secret, waiting for an opportunity."

Claire raised her head and looked at him: "As long as we can avoid the initial confrontation, I believe that with you in that world, no one will be our opponent!"

McAllister nodded slightly, seeming satisfied with Claire's answer, "So what are your plans?"

Claire took a step forward and moved closer. "I think in addition to Silas and the others occupying the passage, we should also prepare some people to enter that world in advance."

"These people don't need to act together with the founders of the dusk. Their goal is to disrupt the sight of wizards and the Orthodox Church, or to further intensify the influence of the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' so that those people will have no time to take care of other things!"

Having said that, Claire paused and looked straight at McAllister, feeling somewhat uneasy in her heart.

She hoped that this person was her, but she didn't want McAllister to really be what she wanted.

The first one, she wanted to go to that world in advance to warn some people.

The latter represented that McAllister had never trusted her.

In fact, Claire never thought that McAllister would trust her.

Just as she didn't trust the other person!
"This plan...is good!"

McAllister smiled, his eyes reflecting Claire's figure, and said with a smile:
"Then you will lead the warriors of the night, how about that?"
