Chapter 1021 – Five Absolutes

The Holy Race’s ten royal powers?

Shi Feng was shocked by the sight of the ten legions approaching the Twilight Fortress.

A gathering of the Holy Race’s ten royal powers!

Never in his previous life had such an event occurred. Until the end of the war between the human race and the Holy Race, only six of the Holy Race’s royal powers had participated. The remaining four royal powers never appeared, as if they didn’t exist.

But now, all ten of the Holy Race’s royal powers had shown up.

The Thunder Empire, Evil Nature, Sovereign Mark, the Sun Dynasty, the Undying Court, Skygazer, Netherlord, the Crimson Dynasty, Celestial Melody, and Holy Shield.

Each of these ten royal powers had mobilized a legion of over a million players—for a total of over ten million Holy Race players. These players were not ordinary experts but Level 240-plus elite experts. Moreover, over 10% of these players were fully equipped with Fragmented Divine Artifacts, and 5% had at least one Divine Artifact.

“Over a million elite experts and tens of thousands of fifth-floor experts equipped with at least one Divine Artifact… Is this the true strength of a royal power?”

“Crap! The commanders and vice commanders of these legions are simply monsters! All of them are equipped with Divine Sets! Does the Holy Race’s Greater God’s Domain have a higher drop rate for Divine Sets?!”

“A total of 106 Divine Set users and 745 experts fully equipped with Divine Artifacts! Did these royal powers mobilize everything in their treasuries?”

The hearts of the players in the Twilight Fortress skipped a beat as they stared at the approaching Holy Race army. They couldn’t fathom how they were supposed to defend the Twilight Fortress against such an army.

The human race’s various powers had assembled over three million Level 240-plus experts in the Twilight Fortress to deal with the Holy Race’s and the Crystallian race’s impending siege. The various pseudo-apex and apex powers had even mobilized most of their elite experts. Nonetheless, they had assembled only a little over 70,000 players fully equipped with Fragmented Divine Artifacts and about 10,000 fifth-floor experts with one or more Divine Artifacts. As for experts fully equipped with Divine Artifacts, they numbered 200.

As for Divine Set users…there were only 17 such players in the Twilight Fortress, a pitiful number compared to how many the Holy Race’s royal powers had mobilized.

Seeing this situation, the experts of the human race’s various powers had only one question.

Could they even win?

Although they had the defender’s advantage in this siege, the fortress’s defensive magic array merely weakened the Basic Attributes of enemies within its range by 10%. The huge disparity in numbers was more than enough to offset this 10% suppression.

As the players in the Twilight Fortress discussed their chances, five young men and women separated from the Holy Race army and hovered proudly above the Twilight Fortress. Despite their young age, the appearance of these five youths sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the fortress. Many were even in fear and trembling.

“The Five Absolute Chosen Ones!”

“Is this the strength of the Five Absolute Chosen Ones?”

The players in the fortress despaired when they saw the five youths from the Holy Race.

As expected of the Holy Race’s strongest chosen ones. In addition to reaching the sixth-floor standard, they all have reached the Tier 7 combatant standard, Shi Feng thought, marveling at the five youths in the sky.

Shi Feng recognized three of these five youths: a tall young man with four arms, a three-eyed young woman wielding a crimson flag, and a three-eyed young man.

The tall young man with four arms was Garuda, the Divine Fist. He was Level 242 and equipped with the Thunder Empire’s prided Lightning Beast Set, one of the Holy Race’s Nine Great Divine Sets. Moreover, unlike Soul Hunter’s Blood Drinker Set, his Lightning Beast Set already had its full potential unlocked. Even though he was merely hovering in place, a Law Projection comprising lightning and light formed naturally around him.

The three-eyed young woman wielding a crimson flag was Daystar, the Arbiter of Death. She was at an even higher level than Garuda, having reached Level 244. She was equipped with the Death Wanderer Set, also one of the Holy Race’s Nine Great Divine Sets. Departed souls wandered around her at all times, making her look like the queen of the dead.

The three-eyed young man was Fist Emperor. Although he was only Level 243, he was equipped with the Skyquake Set, another of the Nine Great Divine Sets. With the Skyquake Set, he exuded an indescribable sense of power. The space around him repeatedly cracked and mended itself, evidently having trouble withstanding this power.

As for the remaining two youths, one was a six-eyed, four-armed young man, while the other was a tall four-armed young woman. Although Shi Feng did not recognize either, he was familiar with the Wrath Set—again one of the Nine Great Divine Sets—the six-eyed young man wore.

As for the four-armed young woman, she was Level 245 and wielded two sabers. Unlike her peers, she did not equip one of the Nine Great Divine Sets. Even so, space-time fissures surrounded her constantly, so the Divine Set she wore was unlikely to be inferior to the Nine Great Divine Sets.

…

Above the Twilight Fortress…

“What a bunch of killjoys! Why did you all show up? How is the other side supposed to resist?” Tyrant Claw, the six-eyed, four-armed young man equipped with the Wrath Set, sighed and shook his head after glancing at the four youths beside him.

“You are free to step aside if you don’t want to fight,” Fist Emperor said, glancing at Tyrant Claw. Then, he glared at Shi Feng, who stood inside the Twilight Fortress, and continued coldly, “I came here for only one purpose this time! Black Flame’s life is mine to claim! You all can do whatever you want with the others!”

“There are hardly any noteworthy experts here. I heard that Black Flame is quite strong. If we let you have this prey, the others might not be enough to make up for our loss,” Morning Echo, the tall, four-armed young woman, said playfully.

“Morning Echo! Don’t push your luck!” Fist Emperor scoffed, glancing at Morning Echo. “According to the latest reports, the Star Maiden will show up. If you can kill her, that side might decide to promote you to an elite member. Leave the Star Maiden to me if you don’t want this opportunity.”

“What are you getting all worked up for? I was only joking. I can’t be bothered to fight a person who’s not even a top 20 Eternal Chosen One,” Morning Echo said, grinning at Fist Emperor’s reaction. “Then, that settles it. You’ll get Black Flame, but you’re not allowed to touch the Star Maiden.”

“Rest assured, I won’t stoop so low as to compete with you all,” Fist Emperor pridefully said when he saw all four of his peers looking at him for confirmation.

When Fist Emperor finished speaking, a massive space-time rift suddenly opened above the Twilight Fortress, covering the entire fortress. When everyone turned toward the rift, they saw a lithe figure gracefully emerging from its depths. The mana within tens of thousands of yards thickened with each step this lithe figure took. By the time this lithe figure exited the rift, only mana remained within tens of thousands of yards around her. No other forms of energy existed inside or around the Twilight Fortress, as if a tsunami of pristine mana had swept through it.

Silence enveloped the Twilight Fortress and its surroundings following the arrival of this lithe figure. Even the Holy Race’s Five Absolute Chosen Ones stared at her with eyes full of vigilance and fighting spirit.

She’s Elise?

The lithe figure had emerged from the space-time rift with a black book in her arms. When Shi Feng saw this lithe figure, his mind froze momentarily.
