The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

By this time, Daniel had already led the Avars and demons to escape to the sea by boat.

Although they had only just set sail due to the short notice, Daniel's determination to escape still urged him to have his men speed up the ship's navigation.

Daniel's men were speechless at his escape attempt. They only boarded the ship under Daniel's pressure. In particular, when they saw the Demon God awaken, many demons secretly disembarked, wanting to return to the mainland.

But then, the white pillar of light appeared, a pillar of light that seemed to be about to destroy everything.

Daniel stared blankly at the white beam of light; destruction was imminent.

Fortunately, even though Daniel looked back at the white pillar of light, he wasn't instantly turned into a pillar of salt. Daniel frantically directed the people still on the ship, and the people on the ship and the demons weren't blind either. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the oars below were almost turned into propellers.

Escape—that was the only thought on everyone's mind. This was no longer a war they could participate in; it was a war of annihilation.

Inside the tower, everyone stared blankly at the white beam of light. Myron was one of the people who had access to the core plan. Most of the people, most of the craftsmen who repaired the Babel Tower carriages, didn't really know what they were doing, nor did they know what would happen after the black and white room was launched.

But they've seen it now.

At this moment, the goddess's oracle appeared in everyone's minds: this was merely the divine power that had destroyed the evil false god, and everyone should not panic.

Meanwhile, the soldiers and officers within Cape County, after receiving orders, began to spread the word that the gods were eliminating false gods and that the people should not panic.

In fact, these officials and soldiers didn't know much about what had happened, but most people in Cape knew that their governor had gone to the tower. This was what happened after the governor arrived at the tower. Out of trust in Lind, things were relatively calm in Cape, although most people were still very agitated.

After all, this was a genuine miracle; to witness the gods display their divine power and destroy the false gods in one's lifetime.

The Northern Church, in particular, would have already begun its missionary work by now, had it not been for deliberate suppression from above.

If this is the case within Cape, people in other places have already begun to kneel and pray, including those professionals who came to provide support but have now withdrawn from the battlefield. If it weren't for the gods giving divine pronouncements to believers or instructing the church to maintain order, some people would actually go to the place where the white light is located for pilgrimage.

"It's not over yet."

Lilith, who was directly connected to the 550C, said, "The next wave is coming soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, several beams of light descended from the sky. These beams were not as exaggerated as the previous one; instead, they pierced directly through the areas that had been eroded by the black mist.

It seems that because the core of the black mist was directly destroyed by these pillars of light, the black mist across the entire continent, including the eastern region, is rapidly dissipating.

A beam of light also landed around the tower, and everyone clearly felt the ground tremble slightly. The heat wave from the beam even directly burned the demons who remained on the ground, but fortunately, Anastasia's vines blocked the heat wave outside the tower.

Even from the aftershocks, Anastasia could feel her vines being constantly burned and pierced.

"no no!"

Looking at the black mist around him, which had lost its "divine power" and was gradually dissipating with the wind, Antipas screamed hysterically.

The demons had clearly won, they were about to rule the world, but in an instant, everything vanished, disappearing like a dream or a bubble.

Only then did Antipas finally remember the black and white room that humans and the tower had painstakingly launched.

"Why? Why did this happen!" Antipa's voice was filled with undisguised hoarseness and despair.

At this moment, the Sauron dragon herd seemed to have broken free of control, wildly shaking its bodies, whether it was trying to shake off the dragons on its back or these dragons had completely fallen into madness.

Watching the demons fall from the dragon's back, Antipa had lost all will to command. He didn't even resist the dragon that was flying beneath him, letting it throw him off. In the air, Antipa saw a pillar of light pierce through the dragon and pour down on him.

Margaret was leading the dragons of Mu Continent to watch the scene around the tower from afar. Countless small pillars of light covered the area around the tower like a canopy, almost annihilating all the dragons and demons.

Of course, these small beams of light soon stopped falling, but there probably weren't many demons and Sauron dragons left.

Margaret shook her head; the consequences of these Sauron dragons would likely be even more devastating than the last war.

Looking at her dumbfounded brother beside her, Margaret said, "Don't worry, we're law-abiding citizens, these attacks won't happen to us."

At the same time, Margaret instructed the dragon beside her, "By the way, have someone prepare to make up for the taxes we evaded."

......

"It's over now, it's our turn to clean up the mess."

Inside the tower, Lilith, who had been communicating with her brother through 550C, said this.

Anastasia let out a long sigh and touched the vines that were continuously wrapping around the tower, while Lena asked with concern, "What about Lind? When will Lind be back?"

"It may take a little more time."

Lilith rubbed her head: "My brother said he has some things to take care of in the sky, but he'll be back as soon as possible."

At this moment, everyone finally came to their senses from the quickly concluded final battle. Anastasia immediately said, "Let's clear the area around the tower first. Gather all the dragons and demons together, whether they are dead or alive."

Lena looked at the sky and nodded, saying, "Alright, we, the Knights of Lars, will help you. After all, there might still be dragons alive."

The aftermath and reconstruction of a major war are often more troublesome than the war itself. Lind, who was still on the space station at the moment, could already imagine a lot of work waiting for him when he returned. But for now, it was all worth it.

"Are you already planning to return and ascend the throne so soon?"

The sound of 550C rang out inappropriately in the space station.

"I told you not to read my mind without permission."

Linde, whose little scheme had been exposed, didn't feel embarrassed at all; he just sighed slightly.

Linde had considered other forms of government, but he couldn't take too big a step. Although Linde, who had dragged Cape North into the industrial age in one fell swoop, might not be qualified to say that, it was precisely because of this staggered development that Linde needed to keep these resources firmly in his hands.

Humans are strong, but they can also be very fragile. Holding such dangerous power, without guidance, humanity could very well destroy itself, just like the old empire that suddenly acquired the technology provided by the 550C.

Moreover, even if Linde doesn't intend to take any action after returning, his subordinates will probably feel it's cold and find a coat for him to wear.

"I'm sorry, but on this space station, you have to undergo a mental check every so often."

550C continued, "The issues on the ground are resolved, but citizens, the issues in the sky are not yet over."
