Chapter 219: God Consort, The Empress Killer

Unlike the high centralization of power in Leta, the Heavenly Kingdoms were isolated islands of power scattered in the sky. Rayne had to spend a lot of effort to completely control these islands in just half a month or so.

It could be done, but it was not worth it.

The combat strength of these High Elf Heavenly Kingdoms was weak. It would be a loss to expend effort ruling them.

What Rayne wanted to do was to use the authority of the God Consort to make them acknowledge the war alliance between the Heavenly Kingdoms and Haines. Thereafter, Rayne wanted them to obey his orders as much as possible in the war.

In reality, the true reason why Rayne visited the Heavenly Kingdoms was not because of these High Elves.

It was for the fortifications placed in the Heavenly Kingdoms.

After reaching a consensus with the king of the Heavenly Kingdom, Rayne and the God Consort obtained permission to come to the hinterland of the Heavenly Kingdoms, Carrick Fergus. Here, they saw the most important machine in the entire Heavenly Kingdom.

There was a super-large cosmic formation that connected all the Heavenly Kingdoms from the ground of the Heavenly Kingdom.

The locals usually called it the Cosmic Foundation Disk.

This was the source of power for the Heavenly Kingdoms to rise into the skies. It was precisely with this set of equipment that the High Elves could receive the power of the cosmos from the outer world and learn cosmic magic, summon Star Goddess Remnant Radiance, capture the Starfall beings and fight against the invasion of Far Silence.

The main structure of the Cosmic Foundation Disk was underground. There was only a tower made of brilliant gold materials on the ground as a receiving and occurrence device.

But now the tower was completely destroyed.

Two years ago, this Brilliant Gold Tower suffered a huge fire. However, due to the lies of some people, the local king of the Heavenly Kingdom still did not know that their defensive structures against the invasion of Far Silence had completely lost their effectiveness.

Without a doubt, this was naturally a scheme of the Far Silence followers.

The scientific name of the Brilliant Gold Tower was the Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instrument.

The existence of the Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instrument was the reason why the Heavenly Kingdoms could become the first line of defense against the invasion of Far Silence in the mortal world.

The so-called Heavenly Curtain was naturally not a protective shield that enveloped the entire planet. Such a project was way too massive and could not be completed.

However, back then, when the High Elves were investigating the power of the cosmos and actively searching for Starfalls in the outer world, they invented an efficient method to capture Starfalls.

First, they used astrology to determine the descent trajectory of the extraterrestrial visitors.

Thereafter, they would activate the Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instrument to attract the falling object to the Heavenly Kingdoms.

Through precise location tracking and a powerful capture method, the Heavenly Kingdoms could stop all invasions from outside the planet.

This mature and efficient technology and the Cosmic Foundation Disk that was the source of the technology had been confirmed before the High Elves ascended into the skies.

It was difficult not to suspect that this so-called Cosmic Foundation Disk was not an original creation of the High Elves at all. Instead, it was a backup plan set up by Order before she ascended to the God Realm to guard against Far Silence.

In fact, it was probably intentional for her to force the High Elves into the skies.

After all, for the balance of the mortal world, Order needed to counterbalance all threatening divinity beings.

Far Silence from the skies was also one of the targets she had to balance and suppress.

The countermeasures she chose were the High Elves and their Heavenly Kingdoms.

In any case...

As long as these Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instruments were activated to ensure that Far Silence's anchor points would not enter the mortal world during the final battle, everything would be fine.

Right now, Rayne needed to repair the Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instruments that were destroyed by the followers of Far Silence.

Originally, building a Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instrument was a huge project.

However, as long as Rayne was around, it would not be a problem.

At the end of the day, these were merely low-level infrastructure. The difficulty of creating them was much lower than something like the God Regulating Mechanism.

He could use the Starburst Sword to strengthen himself, obtain materials and cast some random structural spells to build it.

There was no difficulty in the work, it was merely tedious.

Just like that

Accompanied by the God Consort, Rayne visited the Heavenly Kingdoms and repaired the towers of brilliant gold, gradually restoring the function of the Heavenly Kingdoms as the front line of Far Silence.

In reality, apart from fighting against Far Silence, these Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instruments had another function.

These towers of brilliant gold would be used as signal receivers for the Cosmic Foundation Disk and gather the power of the gods of the cosmos efficiently.

This was also the origin of the strongest cosmic magic of the High ElvesStar Goddess Remnant Radiance.

As more and more Heavenly Curtain Star Convergence Instruments were used continuously, with the collaboration of the various Star Instruments, the mortal world received the energy of the Star Goddess from the distant cosmos.

Finally, when the fifth Brilliant Gold Tower was repaired, the tiny tattoo on Rayne's wrist reacted and shone with a dazzling light.

Swoosh!

The tattoo expanded.

Like a WiFi signal, another bar was added.

The God Consort looked at Rayne's wrist curiously. There was something she had wanted to ask for a long time. "Darling, what is this?"

"This? This is how I communicate with a best friend. As the signal strengthens, it will show up on the tattoo as well."

As a Star Elf, the God Consort had already vaguely guessed the truth of the tattoo. She asked weakly, "What will happen if this signal is full?"

Actually, this signal would never ever be full.

However, if it was truly full

Rayne smiled. "The entire planet will be doomed then~"

Rayne and the God Consort had already visited seven Heavenly Kingdoms.

He repaired five Brilliant Gold Towers and obtained the temporary loyalty of the seven kings of the Heavenly Kingdoms.

Seeing that it was getting late, Rayne felt that it was time for today's work to come to an end.

"Time to call it a day!"

After finishing their work, before returning to Dawn, Rayne and the God Consort arrived at the edge of the local Heavenly Kingdom.

They sat on a field and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance.

The God Consort leaned on the shoulder of her beloved God King and looked at the Mayflies wandering in the sea of clouds, smelling the intoxicating fragrance of her lover. Everything was so beautiful that the God Consort felt as though she was in a dream.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of warmth

Time passed peacefully.

"Darling."

The God Consort said softly, "After we defeat Far Silence, let me stay by your side in the future as your weapon and fight alongside you, alright?"

Rayne hugged the God Consort gently and asked with a smile, "But didn't you say that the Starburst can't be used for work other than fighting Far Silence?"

The God Consort closed her eyes as though she was talking in her sleep and said softly, "That's only a rule targeted at the God King."

Rayne asked, "Aren't I the God King?"

"You're my husband, darling"

The God Consort said affectionately, "I love you and you're everything to me. For you, I can violate any rule as long as you're happy."

She then asked softly, "Say... Where are you planning on going after the war?"

Rayne said, "In the north of my country, there's a country called Eternal Night that has been very restless recently. Someone who can manage things is needed, so I'll be making a trip there."

"What kind of country is Eternal Night?"

"It's an ordinary country. The land is not big and the population is small. However, the economy is developed and they are good in fighting. It's just that their ruling class likes to eat raw meat and drink human blood and can't see the light of day."

"When the time comes, shall I go with you?"

"Yes, sure."

"When the war is over."

"Yes, when the war is over."

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

However, from their smiles, both parties could sense the bitterness in each other's eyes.

Today, Rayne shattered the sacrificial altar of the Sages and claimed that the latter were bewitching people on behalf of Far Silence.

Although this made the God Consort fall in love with Rayne and choose to stand by his side firmly, the God Consort knew very well that what her seniors said was true.

At this point, the God Consort already knew her background.

She was a Far Silence, a sugar-coated cannonball created by someone to disguise as a Star Elf to corrupt and bewitch the strongest hero in the mortal world

In fact, in the worst case scenario, the God Consort might even be an anchor point.

In that case, for the God Consort

Would she still exist when the war was over?

No

She shouldn't think about those things now

The God Consort burrowed into her lover's embrace again.

Right now, she only wanted to enjoy the present and the time with her lover.

"Right, darling."

Lying in Rayne's arms, the God Consort asked gently, "Can you tell me about you and Miss Thea?"

Rayne nodded. He did not hide it from his lover. The God Consort had the right to know this.

"Thea Haines, she's my wife on another world line. She's an original goddess and can travel through various parallel worlds through the possession of corpses. In her world, I was assassinated 17 days after I married her. Ever since then, she has been living in pain. She inherited my dying wish as a motivation to survive and managed Haines in my place. Thereafter, she worked hard and fought continuously until she died."

Rayne revealed a pained expression.

"She loved me too much. She spent her entire life reminiscing about her dead lover and finally obtained this opportunity to reunite with him Even now, I haven't thought of how to tell her what happened on this world line and that she's no longer my only one."

The God Consort asked gently, "How about not telling her then? In any case, it won't affect our love."

Rayne asked, "You don't mind?"

The God Consort asked, "Didn't you still love me when I had a husband, Your Highness Rayne?"

Rayne shook his head with a bitter smile. "Thea is not the same as the God King. I can't lie to her after all."

The God Consort thought for a moment and smiled. "In that case, I have a very good plan for how to confess to her."

Rayne asked, "What do you mean?"

The God Consort's expression turned ambiguously flirtatious. "We'll just have to... do something that can't be reversed."

"?!"

Rayne understood what the God Consort meant and could not help but not know whether to laugh or cry. "Wait, must we really go to that extent?"

"Hehehe, Your Highness Rayne, at this point, you have no choice but to agree."

The God Consort grabbed Rayne's wrist and smiled slyly. "Do you remember how you threatened me back then? Now, it's my turn."

With that said, the God Consort whispered into Rayne's ear. As she let out an uncontrollable breath, she said the line she had wanted to say for a long time.

"Your Highness Rayne, you don't want Miss Thea to know about your affairs either, right?"

Rayne asked with a bitter smile, "What do you want me to do then?"

The God Consort licked her lips with a greedy expression.

She waved the black scale in her hands.

"Come home with me obediently."

"And then"

"Take away my first time."
