Chapter 254: A World Collapsing Unnoticed!

"Bubble World" Themis.

This was the world where the Giant God first "descended," and also the place where he grew and spent his "childhood."

Although, his childhood was a bit short.

In this world, there were many "Sacred Grounds," including the earliest "divine grace mounds," the City of Dimensions where the Giant God first settled, several ancient battlefields from the "God’s War," and the "World Tree," standing tall and elegant above the "Themis Sea," reaching into the clouds.

Most headquarters of the Purification Agency and various war organizations had migrated to Valaharl, but they still kept their offices on the islands that grew from the "Holy Tree."

The shipyards and armories that once spread across the area still existed, but their scale hadn’t grown larger.

However, all these "Sacred Grounds" shared one thing—they sat within the "ocean sphere."

The Purity Officers mostly worked in cities near the ocean sphere; inland, old nobles and old Order God followers, who hadn’t joined chaos but weren’t good people, still held power.

Sulya’s plan was simple—since she couldn’t punish those old nobles and followers who backed the Giant God during the "Time of the End" but had bad morals, she let them rot away on their own, bleeding themselves dry.

She didn’t bother with their scheming.

The Giant God’s Great Expedition had to go on; there was no time for this mess.

But lately, Sulya saw this wasn’t working.

Because Themis was truly in trouble!

The pain from the soul’s core, faint and only felt by the strong, pushed her to act.

So…

"Really, everyone’s busy with the Great Expedition."

"But why was I called back?"

"Tap… tap… tap…"

The sound of powered high heels echoed on the damp, smooth stone slabs.

Normally, wearing high heels on such slick ground meant falling, but powered high heels weren’t ordinary. Their special build and magic helped the wearer stay steady anywhere.

They worked like the "magic iron boots" on the Chosen Warrior’s armor.

"Honestly."

"Why not just blast the old era’s dust with the magic gun, like Albert Drake said?"

"The dead were innocent of chaos but guilty of other things; the survivors were demons!"

Before, she could send Holy Light from the Sun to remove chaos followers and hidden demons one by one. But over time, chaotic demons weren’t dumb; they "made" spells and gear to keep disguises under the "Holy Light."

Using those disguises needed great power; only someone like a Demon Prince or higher could manage it.

This caused big problems for the Judgment Knights and Purity Officers.

The Purification Agency had to cut down, and the rules for Purity Officers got stricter.

These elites had to be strong, with top logic, reasoning, and observation skills; but strength standards eased a bit.

The Ashen Knights, already close to the Purification Agency, teamed up more with the Purity Officers.

When needed, the Purity Officers could call the Ashen Knights to join them.

However, for this tall and graceful Purity Officer, the Ashen Knights were not necessary.

Because her name was Sylvia, one of the first "Giant God Chosen Ones," who had personally entered the sacred Divine Body of the Giant God and bathed in divine grace!

Any one of these "Chosen Ones" was a terrifying force that could stand alone as an army.

Even the Demon Prince and Demon Lord faced defeat against these "Chosen Ones."

Compared to other Purity Officers, Sylvia could "overcome tricks with raw strength."

"So, let’s finish up quickly."

"Then head back to the Tritium World to spend time with Miss Zizi…"

Suddenly, Sylvia stopped talking.

"Tap… tap…"

The sound of high heels striking the stone slab echoed as she stepped back twice.

"What’s going on?"

"Where is this… murderous aura coming from?"

"It shouldn’t be here…"

This was a famous large city inland.

As for its name…

Sylvia had no interest in knowing.

A "dying" city didn’t need a name remembered.

Since the Giant God defeated chaos, inland towns had grown desolate and decayed.

Though nobles still held power tightly, they couldn’t keep citizens and farmers tied to the land under pressure from the Giant God forces.

So, people and workers flowed out to coastal and ocean-floor city-states.

Farmlands were abandoned in patches, workshops stood empty, and stores closed one by one.

Even with their power, old nobles often felt lost—with folks gone, who could they rule over?

In the end, not just daily goods but crops, even basic grains, had to be bought at high cost from coastal areas.

Inland cities with dying industries could only eat through their reserves, shrinking bit by bit.

In another generation, the old nobles might vanish completely!

This was the First Living Saint Sulya’s way to handle them.

"But would the old nobles really sit and wait to die?"

"No…"

"Maybe the First Living Saint waited for them to crack under this ‘blunt knife cutting meat’ plan, building anger until it exploded?"

"Then, she could sweep the trash away with perfect justification!"

"But why did I run into them when they blew up!"

While Sylvia grumbled about her bad luck, a great sword of Holy Light from the Sun formed in her hand.

She cautiously looked around.

Although the surroundings seemed normal, Sylvia’s sharp intuition told her that something was wrong!

This city was strange!

"What kind of strangeness was this? I’ll see for myself!"

"Come on! Eye of Insight!"

"Under the shining Holy Light from the Sun, chaos cannot hide!"

"Buzz—!"

The power of the Holy Light from the Sun surged through her veins, rising up to her left eye.

On the retina, the power gradually gathered into a translucent crystal!

This "divine technique" could only be used by those who had reached the level of the original "Chosen Ones". Through it, whether it was the Demon Lord or an etheric worm, any disguise below the level of a chaos councilor would be exposed!

However…

The scene in Sylvia’s eyes still showed no change.

Yet this lack of change did not reassure the experienced Purity Officer.

Instead, she took a deep breath and stepped back two paces.

"No…"

"How could this be!?"

"How could a chaos deity of councilor level…

have gotten here… have penetrated this place?"

"The Crystal Walls…"

Just as she thought this…

"Hahahaha…"

A deep laughter echoed from beneath her feet.

Then, the entire earth began to shake!

The images in her eyes gradually twisted until they transformed into a hellish scene!

This wasn’t just a desolate ancient city!

It was a terrifying hell entirely made up of flesh lumps and tentacles!

And above in the sky…

"Boom—!"

"Swish—!"

The Crystal Walls above the city had already collapsed!

Blocking the way was a gray-white net-like structure!

The chaos deity that had long been lurking here revealed the truth to Sylvia.

"Insignificant humans!"

"You can be so perceptive."

"Showing you the truth here is a reward for your sharp senses!"

"As for the Crystal Walls…"

"Hehe, perhaps for some deities, it’s an insurmountable barrier."

"But for Lord Agareth, silently breaking through the Crystal Walls and sealing the Will of the World is not a difficult task!"

"Now, everything is ready!"

"Let me show you the power of the second Time of the End!"

"Then, the first wave…"

"Wave of Destruction!"
