Chapter 1416: Stop

“Headmaster Abel, what are you going to do with us!” Wizard Brennan gazed around at the nine God Rank Summons, trying to keep his voice level.

The nine could easily take down every single wizard around, so the Legendary and Half-god wizards did not move a single bit.

“What am I going to do with you? Just stay for a bit, we are going to watch a good show!” Abel smiled back at him.

An irritated look emerged on Wizard Brennan’s face as he replied, “Headmaster Abel, I still have things to take care of in the Wizard Union. I’ll be on my way!”

As the Vice President of the Wizard Union, he knew Abel was trying to use them as bargaining chips, so the God Rank wizards wouldn’t start a God Rank war for what he was about to do.

“Wizard Brennan, just give me some face!” Abel continued to smile, but he strengthened his tone.

He has waited all day with the dwarves with his nine God Rank Summons, just for this moment.

With so many wizards in his hands, the God Rank wizards would think again if they wanted to make a move themselves!

As he spoke, his nine God Rank Summons let out some energy.

“If you command, then we’ll stay!” Wizard Brennan could only agree helplessly.

“Good, please take a rest in the Golden Castle. I’ve already got some good wine ready!” Abel smiled and bowed to him politely.

Indeed, there was a party set up on the Golden Castle’s balcony. The puppets there bowed respectfully to the guests.

The Half-god wizards exchanged gazes and flew towards the Golden Castle. They had no choice anymore.

Abel took a sip of juice and sighed, “Everyone, I’m sorry for the hassle, but you can only leave after the show is over!”

He did not care how those wizards looked at him. Instead he nodded to the Mountain God.

A blinding beam shot out of the Mountain God and covered the Furnace Fort.

“The great Mountain God!” a dwarf gasped. The Mountain God had deliberately hidden himself among the energy of the other God Rank summons, so the dwarves had not noticed him.

But now he had fully unleashed his energy. The two million dwarves worshiping him could clearly sense his power.

Ever since the dwarves had heard the news that King Dunba was killed because the Wizard Union was going after the Mountain God’s followers, a rebound effect was created. The number of Mountain God followers immediately jumped to almost three million.

The Mountain God was a pureblooded dwarf god, and every dwarf had learned about him since they were young. His appearance was making every dwarf below go crazy.

——

As Abel sat on the Golden Castle, he sensed the dwarves’ Faith strengthening.

“Where there are dwarves, there will be my followers. I will protect the dwarves, fight for the dwarves, and the dwarves and I will exist for all eternity!” The Mountain God’s voice covered the Furnace Fort like the waves of the ocean.

The Mountain God had learned a lot from Doff, so he no longer acted like a new soul when doing big things like this.

Dwarves began to get on their knees and chanted, “Great Mountain God, we will forever pledge loyalty to you as our only god!”

Ever since the Mountain God had vanished, his stories were recorded in the dwarves’ texts.

Before the Era of Gods had ended, the Mountain God had fought for the dwarves against the Wizard Union despite the cost.

Although he lost, everything he had done still showed that he truly wanted the best for the dwarves, so it only made sense that the dwarves were also passionate about him.

Intense Faith rose up from the Furnace Fort and was only strengthened by the special environment around.

—

Up on the Golden Castle’s balcony, the wizards were not looking good as they watched what was happening.

They knew very well how ironic the situation was. They had wanted to stop the dwarves from worshiping the Mountain God, yet the opposite had happened.

Wizard Brennan gazed at Abel in surprise, knowing what was going to happen next.

Large amounts of Faith gathered to the Mountain God and turned into a golden orb around him.

With a wave, five hundred holy crystals appeared and they morphed into five hundred huge crystal facets. Next, those crystal facets connected with each other and formed a giant crystal ball in the sky.

At the same time, an intense energy engulfed the area around them. Abel sighed, it was impossible to create a Divine Realm in silence, and all the powerful beings would be able to sense it.

Soon, patterns began to emerge on the crystal sphere…

——–

Wizard Smith was sitting in his office when he suddenly yelled in fury, “Who dares?”

Five other God Rank wizards quickly appeared in his office for the same reason.

All the other wizards were on the front lines, and those five God Rank wizards had only remained in the Wizard Union Headquarters just in case something went wrong withthe dwarves.

“It’s coming from the dwarves’ direction. Could it be the Mountain God?” Wizard Mosley asked suspiciously.

They didn’t know that the Mountain God’s former Kingdom had been swallowed up by Doff, so they were a little confused.

“Not good, Brennan and the wizards might be in trouble!” Wizard Hawthorn gasped. Although they had brought many wizards with them, facing a god was still a challenge.

“They should be fine. With eleven Half-gods, they would be able to save themselves even if they couldn’t take down the Mountain God!” Wizard Smith speculated somberly. After all, there was only so much a single god could do!

Wizards could all move in a flash, so the Half-gods should be able to escape and alert the Wizard Union Headquarters.

“Let’s go have a look and destroy whoever that god is. A kingdom cannot move, so he will be at a huge disadvantage!” Wizard Hawthorn proposed with a smirk.

“Then let’s go!” The five God Rank wizards did not hesitate and flew up with a flash.

Headmaster Eugene also sensed the energy, and the first person he thought about was Abel. He did not hesitate, either, and flew towards the dragon’s Teleportation Circle.

—

Meanwhile, sparkling golden lights beamed out above the Furnace Fort, using this opportunity to strengthen the dwarves’ Faith.

Soon, another round of passionate Faith gushed out and sped up the process.

Faith normally wasn’t the problem when it came to a god forming a Divine Kingdom, but obtaining five hundred holy crystals was just too hard.

This was why there were many gods like Thief God Milton who only had a Divine Body. Although they could still form holy crystals through Faith, the time it took was hard to imagine.

Of course, gods could also do missions and risk their lives for some holy crystals, which were the most valuable currency back then.

Abel was lucky that he had received a large amount of holy crystals from the Holy Kingdom, and the Dark World was also supplying him with a healthy amount.

Don’t think the Thief God Milton was having a breeze killing in the Holy Kingdom! Every time he encountered a powerful enemy, he would need to use a holy crystal to escape.

This was the case for Doff’s avatar as well. Strengthening his defense in battle through holy crystals was a common move.

That wasn’t even including the four new gods Abel had obtained. If Abel had not had so many holy crystals accumulated, he would have gone broke long ago.

“Master, 5 God Rank wizards are approaching!” Doff’s avatar reported through their soul chain.

“Unleash your energy and scare them away!” Abel frowned and connected to the other eight God Rank Summons.

—

Wizard Smith paused in mid air. “Damn it, where did all the God Ranks come from?”

He could faintly see the Furnace Fort, but he did not dare to get any closer.

Wizard Hawthorn also paused and grunted, “No need to explain, Headmaster Abel is there!”

God Ranks were no common beings. The only one capable of controlling so many was Abel!

Although they didn’t know how Abel had gained even more God Ranks, it made sense that the Ice God, the God of Black Fog, and the Goddess of the Hunt had also been resurrected after considering the Mountain God’s situation.

Four newly-resurrected gods plus Abel’s original five God Ranks, that was exactly nine God Ranks.

Actually, Wizard Smith did not know Thief God Milton was fighting in the Holy Kingdom again, so he mistook the fourth God Rank for him.

“Headmaster Abel, I am Smith. We need to talk!” Wizard Smith projected his voice out ahead of them.

Soon a being appeared a thousand meters away from them. It was Doff’s avatar.

“Master said to please wait. He and the other wizards from the Wizard Union are enjoying a show. After the show ends, they can all go!” Doff’s avatar declared in a powerful divine voice.

“The dwarves are a part of the Wizard Union, and he is forming a faithful ground in our territory! Does he want a war?” Wizard Smith demanded grimly.

“Master said he will talk to you afterwards!” Doff’s avatar repeated blankly.

Wizard Smith was furious. This avatar of Doff was basically trying to provoke them, knowing fully well that there were seven other God Ranks ready to fight behind him. If all the God Rank wizards were here, there was no way he would dare to speak so disrespectfully!

The other four God Rank wizards could only stand there awkwardly in the sky.

“You guys are quick!” Headmaster Eugene also appeared. Although his dragon form was fast as well, it was still leagues behind a wizard’s ability to flash-move.

“Headmaster Eugene, the dragons must give us an explanation!” Wizard Smith yelled as soon as he saw Headmaster Eugene.

“Explain what, I just came here! You should be the one explaining to me what is happening!” Headmaster Eugene smiled, but he knew Abel was doing something after seeing Doff was blocking the way.
