"What did you say?"

At this moment, the courtyard-turned-wasteland churned withtorrential waves of prismatic magical energy.

These abyss-deep vortexes spiraled relentlessly toward Viktor at the formation's epicenter.

Acataclysmic magical tempesterupted throughout the dimensional space.

Layer upon layer of multicolored magic circles interwove in complex patterns,voraciously devouringthe frenzied power.

Intricate celestial geometries crossed and entangled overhead, warping the very fabric of reality they touched.

Beneath this cascading magical maelstrom, Vega's voice carried from Viktor's shoulder, tinged with bewilderment.

"A shared stone consciousness?"

Viktor swept one hand through the air,etching primordial runesonto the continuously expanding magical wheel arrays.

His other hand gripped the golden bird-headed staff, weavingdevastating enhancement circlesthrough the atmosphere.

[Greater Magic Amplification]

[Greater Casting Acceleration]

[Greater Mana Transmutation]

With each enhancement spell's release, the formation arrays surrounding Viktor blazed withincreasingly brilliant radiance.

These overlapping magical constructs towered likefloating citadels in the heavens, their razor-sharp spires piercing the earth-brown sky.

The colossal fortress pressed against the cloud layer, threatening toshatter the entire firmament.

Brilliant polychromatic light merged intoblinding cascades, countless intricate arrays flowing like liquid starlight.

The massive citadel surging into the clouds seemed topulse with living consciousness, constantly rotating and metamorphosing.

The formation fortress's surface bore thick layers ofinterlocking mystical patterns.

Like bundled chains of celestial steel binding countless arrays together,writhing and undulatingthrough mid-air.

Upon Viktor's form, his windcoat blazed with prismatic magical flames,billowing against the chaotic windsthat rose.

Those terrifying fires—transformed intofive primordial beasts—graduallydevoured the sky itself.

"Ulano, the Earth Calamity, represents the mostunique catastrophe."

"Because it dwells beneath the surface and cannot freely relocate, it possesses abilitiesno other calamity commands."

"Wherever solid ground exists, it can manifest withinany soil across that territory."

Even within mountain ranges, the Earth Calamity might emerge.

Precisely due to this characteristic, every inch of earth potentiallyharbored the Earth Calamity's influence.

Viktor's eyes flickered with analytical brilliance, though his voice remained steady as he explained to Vega.

The tangible manifestation of the Earth Calamity'sapocalyptic powerconsisted of those rock and earth titans erupting throughout the royal capital.

However, what proved most ironic?

That was—

"Regardless of how many rock titans it summons, the Earth Calamity possessesonly one controlling consciousness."

Having but a single brain meant that when Ulano distributed fragments of its essence throughout the royal capital.

Ulanomust transfer its core consciousnessto other earth giants' forms to manipulate their actions.

Consequently, after Ulano manifested on the surface, it could onlyremain oblivious to surrounding threats.

Because only one brain consciousness could control physical forms, rendering itincapable of processing multiple bodies simultaneously.

This explained why even the mightiest Earth Calamity, Ulano, remained vulnerable tostraightforward player strategies.

Simply stated—this represented itscritical weakness.

Tactical Diversion.

Deploy one team to assault Ulano's earth giants,forcing Ulano to transfer consciousnessfor defensive counterattacks.

Meanwhile, the primary strike force wouldconsolidate power, preparing coordinated assaults against Ulano's true form.

Naturally, when Ulano abandoned its main body, it wouldn't remaincompletely defenseless.

As demonstrated now.

As Viktor's magical citadel accumulatedever-greater mass and potency.

Sensing imminent danger, Ulanofinally responded.

It would preserve minimal consciousness fragments forself-preservation.

Upon detecting threats ofcatastrophic magnitude, Ulano wouldinstantly recall its consciousnessat maximum priority.

Exactly as Ulano was executing now.

Chaotic titan arms concealed beneath the earthburst through the surface.

Earth-brown towering monoliths accompanied by clusters ofochre vine tendrilshammered the ground, raisingdevastatingly dense dust storms.

Mysterious compound eyes hidden within the swirling debrispulsed with eldritch light, its incomprehensibly massive formcontinuously ascending, striving to breach the surface.

The extended rock titan hands separated intothree colossal pillar-fingers, bracing against the earth, preparing toheave itself outward.

Yet halfway through its emergence, the enormously massive stone body seemed tostagger slightly forward.

Space struck by theapocalyptic giantimmediately generated howling winds, dust-laden tsunamissurging into the clouds.

This clearly indicatedincoming damage.

The instant its form lurched forward, Ulano's seeminglyinfinite health barabove suddenlydropped by a significant margin.

Though only decreasing by 5%, when Viktor witnessed this development, his lipscurved into a knowing smile.

"It appears someone has alreadyclaimed first blood."

This represented Ulano'ssecond critical mechanism.

All earth giants constitutedextensions of Ulano itself—thus when earth giants suffered destruction,Ulano sustained proportional damage.

This formed thetactical diversion strategy's core essence.

Exploiting Ulano's single-consciousness limitation throughrelentless positional warfare.

By launchingdevastating, high-priority threats, forcing Ulano's brain consciousness tofrantically shuttle between earth giants.

Rendering these titanshelplessly vulnerableunder unconscious control.

Therefore, as Ulano enduredcrippling damage, coordinated strikes against its true form wereprimed for execution.

"Unfortunately, though you'vefinally comprehended the situation—it's far too late."

Viktor slowly raised his head, those eyesblazing with prismatic radianceandsaturated with magical powerlocking onto Ulano's sixflickering pupils.

Ulano'stremendously colossal handsconcealed beneath dust storms fixed theiramber luminescenceupon Viktor'smulticolored flame-wreathed form.

But in that instant, Viktor's eyesflowing with cascading magical energysuddenlyerupted with blinding intensity,tremendous power surging exponentially.

The magical citadel composed oftens of thousands of formation arraysexpandedbeyond all comprehension, threatening torupture the entire sky.

"[Kong Ji Hun]"

"[Sha Tuo Qiu]"

"[Fu Qian Bai Mi]"

"[Zuo Lu]"

"[Zhen Yu]"

"[Wan Cai Qing Kong]"

"[Bu Luo He]"

"[Qiang Ni]"

"[Fan Zhuan Zhen Kong]"

"[Lun Hui Mei Gui]"

Accompanying Viktor'sethereal incantations, wave upon wave ofdevastating magic continuously accumulated.

Each mystical phrase's completion caused theten-tiered citadelbehind him—blazing with stellar radiance—to growexponentially more brilliant.

Finally, its luminescence seemed tocompletely illuminate the heavens, the original earth-brownutterly banished.

Within Ulano's perception, this long-prepared fortress had achievedabsolute incandescence.

Chaotic ethereal lightpierced the firmament,reaching the distant cosmos.

"Then let us commence witha modest appetizer."

In that pivotal moment, Viktorcasually snapped his fingers.

RESONANCE—

Light seemed toexplode exponentially, eruptinglayer by layerfrom the citadel's core...

...

Within the central plaza before the imperial palace, Cocotte seated upon her cloud seemed todetect something, slowly raising her head.

"That... whatin the heavensis...?"

The atmosphere churned withsurging magical energy, compelling even Aubrey to raise his gaze towardthe source of that blazing radiance.

Throughout the square, every residentlifted their eyes skyward.

They stared in awe at that phenomenonshattering through cloud cover,radiating apocalyptic luminescence.

Lightsaturated the entire royal capital—even Vladimir standing in the streets,shouldering his massive war-axe,bearing battle wounds, slowly raised his head.

He observed the rock giant before him that hadsuddenly become motionless, seeminglysensing some cosmic anomaly.

Couldn't help butslowly crane his neck, gazing towardthat distant source of blinding radiance.

"What theabsolute hell...?"

Vladimir squinted against thesearing brilliancethatstabbed his eyes painfully, thechaotic magical energyleaving himcompletely stupefied.

"What kind ofgodlike monstrosityis that?"

...

In the northern district, Claudia stood atop asilent rock titan.

At this moment, she tooturned her attentiontoward the sky above the royal capital's central ward.

Beneath theshroud of intense radiance, she slowlyremoved her mask, revealinghalf her visage.

Hercrimson pupilsstared at thatdaylight-bright illumination,trembling uncontrollably.

"Divine power..."

...

While three factions remainedthunderstruck, only Gwen continued riding herfrost warhorse.

Accompanied by thesubtle percussionof herglacial steel armor,blazing light illuminatedthe dark path ahead.

Shesuddenly yanked the reins—the frost horserearing its forelegs,releasing a piercing whinny, halting in place.

Thealabaster tailswayed in the wind,scattering tiny ice crystals.

As her mount stopped,atmospheric magical energy began spiraling.

Through her helmet'snarrow visor, Gwen'sgolden-radiant eyesgazed towardthe towering sky behind her.

In that moment, she witnessed it.

Anincomprehensibly massive tree of celestial lighterupted from the stellar fortress,penetrating deep intothe earth-brown heavy clouds.

Beneathlayers of concentrated power, thoseflowing prismatic branchesspread acrossthe entire firmament, as thoughtearing dimensional riftsthrough thedeep sandy ocean.

Complex interlocking texturesintertwined with one another, forming thegiant tree's colossal trunk,piercing throughthe heavy and deathly cloud cover.

Ancient,incomprehensible runeshung likeluminous leavesupon the branches,continuously radiating terrifying magical energy.

Variousfantastical magical phantasmsundulated through the atmosphere.

Lions bearinggoat skulls, whales withwing-like appendages, andnine-headed primordial dragonsprostrating around the trunk.

Headsswaying hypnotically, bodiescoiling serpentinely—as thoughperforming a mystical and otherworldly dancebeneath thetowering clouds.

Lighterupted instantaneously, threatening tocompletely penetrate reality itself.

In that cataclysmic instant, themagical tempestthat arosenearly engulfed the entire royal capital.

Flowingfluorescent patternsresembledhurricane vortexes,drawing everything within a thousand-mile radiusinto their embrace.

Gwen'sflowing tressesstreaming from beneath her helmetinstantly rosewith theswirling storm.

Like abrilliant galaxy scattered across the heavens,flickering with dazzling starlight.

Hersilver snow-wolf armorwasilluminated by the passing radiance,reflecting prismatic shadows.

Intricatemagical constellationsseemed todecorate the silver platingwithmulticolored souls.

Thesnow-blanketed earthalso raisedrolling avalanches of crystalline flakes.

Transparentice crystalsgeneratedchaotic atmospheric waves,overwhelming the dull brown sky.
