Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Chapter 256: Chapter256:Elemental Tides

Once again, the Holy City!

From the records related to the Snow Fox Territory, Enzo learned about this news, and his curiosity about the existence of the Holy City grew. It seemed that everything happening in the world could not escape the gaze of the Holy City.

What kind of city was that?

Who were the ones managing it?

With these increasing questions in his heart, Enzo decided not to linger in the Snow Fox Territory any longer. He found Andrew, and the two set off together. However, after leaving the Snow Fox Territory, Andrew opened a spatial portal to the Crimson Star Tribe, where he needed to continue discussing the detailed cooperation plans with Ward.

As for Enzo, he headed to the Holy City.

According to the descriptions in the Snow Fox Territory, the Holy City was located in the extreme northern part of the continent. Reaching it required crossing an extremely long distance.

However, having mastered teleportation, this distance was nothing to Enzo.

In just a day, Enzo arrived near the Holy City.

But as he got closer, he sensed something was different.

Even among the small tribes near the Holy City, there were Level 5 or Level 6 supernatural beings present, and they were not exceptions. Almost every small tribe had such individuals.

In addition, there were numerous other cities in the vicinity.

Compared to the region where the Holy City was located, places like the Dark Night Forest and the Snow Fox Territory seemed remote and dilapidated. It was as if all the world's strongest individuals were gathered here.

At that moment, while walking through one of the cities, Enzo overheard some unexpected news. A few people were gathered, discussing matters related to the supernatural trial space.

"Have you heard? Something big has happened at Steles Amusement Park!" one person said mysteriously.

Another person, impatient, urged, "What is it? Hurry up and tell me!"

The first person chuckled and lowered his voice, saying, "I heard that someone in Steles Amusement Park has comprehended a golden inheritance spell, and the beam of light was incredibly dazzling."

"So what?" someone scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Someone has comprehended that before."

"It's different this time! This isn't just one golden inheritance. Dozens of golden inheritances appeared at the same time. Apparently, the entire trial space was in an uproar."

"Is that true?"

"Do I look like I'm lying...?"

Enzo, who overheard their conversation, was equally shocked. He had also comprehended a golden inheritance at Steles Amusement Park—the spell of teleportation.

Now, there were reports of someone comprehending dozens at once.

Such talent was simply unfathomable.

However, Enzo didn't dwell on it for too long. He hadn't forgotten his main objective. After briefly observing the city he was in, he made his way toward the Holy City.

Before long, Enzo arrived at the entrance of the Holy City.

Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by two guards clad in silver metal armor, brandishing sharp spears, blocking his path. They spoke, "Honored guest, the esteemed administrator is waiting for you in the Great Hall of the Holy City."

"Wait for me?" Enzo's expression changed slightly.

This was his first time coming to the Holy City, and the mysterious administrators inside had somehow known about him.

This stirred up some unsettling thoughts in Enzo's mind.

However, since he was already there, and they had personally sent someone to welcome him, plus he originally intended to seek out the administrators of the Holy City to learn more about the world, he decided to proceed.

So, Enzo spoke to the guard, "Lead the way."

Guided by the guard, Enzo walked down an extremely wide, stone-paved street, witnessing the luxury and grandeur of the Holy City. Yet, what puzzled him was that the people living in the Holy City appeared very silent and intensely focused on themselves. No one was talking, and no one paid attention to him or the guard.

Noticing Enzo's confusion, one of the guards explained, "These people are wandering in the realm of deities."

Enzo asked, "What does that mean?"

The guard's explanation was perplexing.

However, he didn't elaborate further, instead pointing toward a luxurious palace ahead. "Honored guest, we have arrived. The esteemed administrator is inside."

Enzo looked up, and before him was the grand entrance of the palace.

Carved above the main door was a peculiar creature. It had a serpent-like body with five pairs of wings protruding from its back. Its head had twisted horns and a long beard, giving it an air of mystery and majesty.

Yet, this sight filled Enzo with a sense of familiarity.

Enzo was sure that he had never seen such a powerful creature before.

But since he was there, perhaps he could ask the administrators about it.

So, Enzo walked straight in.

Inside the palace was a grand hall with a long table. Several people were already seated on either side of the table. When they saw Enzo arrive, the eldest among them stood up and said, "You've finally come. We've been waiting for you for quite some time."

"Why are you waiting for me?"

Enzo asked directly.

The elder replied honestly, "This is the will of the deity. I cannot say why. However, your questions will be answered because you will soon face the deity directly."

In the next moment, Enzo's expression changed drastically.

Everything around him vanished in an instant, and his surroundings transformed into the vast, ethereal Starry Sky. Before him lay a gigantic creature, identical to the statue he had seen above the palace entrance, emanating the aura of a deity.

There truly was a deity within the Holy City!

"You have come!"

A deep voice resonated, coming from the enormous creature, yet it carried a hint of feminine softness.

Enzo looked up at the colossal being.

At that moment, the gigantic creature slowly rose, its planet-like body completely blocking Enzo's view. It then gradually shrank and shifted in shape.

Before Enzo once again stood a stunning girl clad in silver armor, her back adorned with three pairs of snow-white wings. However, the aura she emanated was even more terrifying than that of the massive creature before.

The girl spoke, "You may call me Master, or Artemis. The Disaster World you inhabit is my true form, and all of you are my creations."

Upon hearing this, Enzo suddenly understood.

The Artemis before him was none other than the world consciousness of the Disaster World, or perhaps the original Protoss.

However, from the words of the administrators of the Holy City, it seemed that Artemis had been specifically waiting for him, which puzzled Enzo.

Despite his confusion, he felt a sense of reassurance.

As the consciousness of a planet, she was the natural master of that world and, barring exceptional circumstances, would not harm the beings residing there. Moreover, Enzo felt no intent to kill from Artemis.

So, he boldly asked, "Artemis, what do you want from me? Also, if you wanted to find me, you could do so at any time, right? Why meet me here in the Holy City?"

Enzo quickly fired off his questions.

Artemis was not angered. Instead, she calmly replied, "I came to you seeking your help."

"Help?" Enzo was taken aback.

At that moment, Artemis pressed her palm against Enzo's forehead. Instantly, Enzo felt a cool sensation along with a wave of pain as his consciousness connected with hers, allowing him to perceive Artemis's state.

Artemis's true form was the Disaster World.

In that instant, Enzo sensed the terrifying elemental fluctuations hidden beneath the Disaster World. It was a horrifying energy capable of annihilating everything, filled with an aura of decay and corruption. Just a moment of this perception left Enzo feeling a sense of dread.

He asked Artemis, "What is that?"

With a calm tone, Artemis replied, "This is the truth of the world. I can no longer suppress the terrifying Elemental Tides. When they erupt, it will mark the end of the world. Therefore, I need someone to help me—at the very least, an immortal deity who has the power to stop the Elemental Tides from erupting."

"Before this, I sought two individuals."

"One was Rexfit, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong path when he ascended to godhood. The other is Maude. He went to the Starry Sky. Although I can vaguely sense his presence and know he is still alive, he must be trapped somewhere and unable to leave."

"Now, you have arrived."

"You are the only one who can help me."

After hearing this, Enzo fell into silence.

He asked seriously, "How much longer can you hold on?"

Artemis thought for a moment before answering, "I'm not sure. If I release some accumulated energy in advance, I might be able to hold on a little longer."

Enzo nodded and asked, "So, this is the true source of the disaster?"

"Yes." Artemis admitted, then continued. "However, despite the great trouble that the Elemental Tides bring, it also signifies an opportunity. If you can successfully help me resolve the Elemental Tides, you will be able to use their baptism to enhance your affinity with various elements, making you even stronger."

Enzo did not lose his focus because of these words.

He now clearly understood why the disaster was occurring, yet he felt no joy. Instead, he found himself even more conflicted. Regardless of his internal turmoil, he knew he had to help.

Elemental Tides were a rare occurrence following the birth of a planet. For an unformed planet, it was a blessing that would enrich the elemental energies within it.

However, for a formed planet, it was a disaster.

When the Elemental Tides erupted, the overwhelming elemental energy would sweep through every corner of the planet, annihilating all life. This was a complete and utter apocalypse.

That was the situation at hand.
