Chapter 674: The Birth of a New God, Congratulations from All Nations

The task of the three was to take away the "distortion object: Bottomless House" while also scheming to eliminate the sealing team members sent by the Euro-Asian Alliance.

Due to the presence of the battleship, there were at least two ace Mages among the sealing team members, making it worth their wait.

The scene also featured an A-level Mage and four B-level Mages, which justified their plan.

There are no more than twenty A-level Mages in the Euro-Asian Alliance, and losing even one would be a huge disaster.

If they hadn’t been fully prepared to directly launch national-level magic, dealing with Mages of this caliber would indeed be very difficult.

After successfully dealing with Gunter, the three momentarily relaxed, turning their attention to the drowning boy.

If they were not mistaken, it was this boy who suddenly devoured the distortion object and withstood the lightning, protecting Gunter as he made his way to the battleship.

Undoubtedly, he was a kid with special abilities, but the question was…

Could there be a trap?

If he could devour the distortion object, he might also devour them. Would it be better to let him die?

This hesitation lasted for a brief moment until Noah was suddenly pulled up, kneeling on the water surface, and then they sprang into action.

“There’s a problem! Shoot!”

Padilla shouted suddenly, as a fierce wind stirred from the sky, enveloping the three of them and lifting them away from the scene.

Hilo, wielding his exaggerated weapon like a cannon, aimed it at Noah on the ground, lightning gathering as a blue beam shot out explosively.

To be precise, only attacks shot from the "thunder god" had the power to annihilate everything. Normally, using this level of magic would require an extended period of preparation, making it impossible to condense it for combat purposes.

But with a specially designed magic armament that had been iterated a thousand times, this kind of attack had become routine and could be completed in a second.

Although it was a single-target attack, its nature of penetrating everything and causing massive explosions meant it was still a weapon of mass destruction.

“Cough, cough…”

The white-haired boy got to his feet, staggering as he wiped the stains from his mouth without raising his head, letting the lightning strike him directly.

Then, the thunder god’s cannon strike capable of penetrating all matter and magic was silently devoured and vanished from the boy’s surface.

Why was Noah the protagonist of this era?

Because his ability combined with the distortion object "Bottomless House" transformed into an absolute defense that could absorb attacks infinitely at no cost.

As long as he felt danger and was willing to fight, there was no attack he could not absorb.

However, this triggering was quite subjective. Under normal circumstances, even when he was captured and tortured by the Alliance, his power did not activate—he was controlled by a psychic Mage.

It was only when the Alliance sent a psychic Mage that he transformed into a powerful being, breaking through a large military base to return home.

Now, in order to survive, he agreed to a contract, completely handing over control of his body to Yun Ye, allowing the return of the Dragon King ahead of schedule.

Yun Ye raised his hand, and the unique power of this body was activated, spreading a white barrier that charged toward Hilo and the others.

In this process, wherever the barrier passed, winds and lightning were all devoured, and Abu’s physical attack using fire meteor was rendered completely ineffective.

Their faces changed dramatically as they tried to evade, but the speed of the storm carrying them was far inferior to the expansion of the barrier, and they were still covered.

In that moment, all magical power was directly extracted by the barrier, and the three fell straight from the sky.

Yun Ye raised his hand, and Gunter’s handgun flew from the seabed, aimed at the three.

“Bang!”

The over-compressed magic was already unraveled by Yun Ye, as air and matter were compressed and then shot out, crushing everything along the way with its weight and force.

The three renowned Mages were horrified, but without any magic power, they had no ability to resist. Hilo had to unleash his killer move—a distortion object named “No Travel!”

It was a special mark that Hilo slapped onto his left teammate.

Swish!

“The Heavenly Wind” vanished, transported away through space.

“Boom!”

The over-compression was alarmingly close. Hilo intended to save Abu, but his body was suddenly pulled away, missing the chance to reach him.

He immediately understood; Abu was doomed. Right now, he had no magic power and couldn’t move in mid-air, so he could only advance by himself.

“I will remember today’s grudge!”

Swish!

Hilo vanished into thin air in response to Abu’s fierce gaze.

“Hi!!!Lo!!!”

Bang!

Abu was crushed down to a single point, dying completely.

Yun Ye set down his gun and didn’t mind Hilo’s escape. Killing one ace Mage was enough for Noah at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Ye clearly felt the world tilt further in Noah’s favor, as vast amounts of fortune and possibility descended upon him.

With such abundant possibilities, whatever Noah did would unfold toward the optimal resolution, achieving the successful and happy ending he desired.

However, now, all of this became resources for him to restore his power and a stepping stone to adapt to the laws of this world.

Crash—

Heavy rain poured down—

“Wait patiently for the storm.”

Yun Ye walked in the rain, leaving the area and not concerning himself with the submarine below.

Inside the Alliance submarine, many military personnel were drenched in cold sweat. It was only after Yun Ye completely disappeared that they released a sigh of relief and ordered the submarine to leave quickly.

…

At the boundary of the Euro-Asian Alliance, the Young God Snow Mountain.

The transcendent magical organization “Snow Palace” is located here.

Having always existed as a place for “country-level” magic users, Snow Palace has been a sacred ground for Mages since ancient times, possessing a status beyond the mundane.

Mages practice spiritual powers as their profession, and Snow Palace itself has no desire for expansion; the snowy mountain environment only benefits their training.

As for various resources, they can be self-sufficient through magic.

Having existed in this manner for two thousand years, Snow Palace has developed a nearly coercive inertia.

Unless enemies strike them directly, Snow Palace will not interfere with the outside world to any extent.

This strict restraint, along with the deterrence against country-level Mages, forced many surrounding nations to abandon their covetousness for this land, making Young God Snow Mountain the exclusive territory of Snow Palace.

In ancient times, country-level Mages were like god-kings, so the ruler of Snow Palace has always been called the Young God of Snow, possessing countless followers and maintaining immense influence even in modern times.

Deep within Snow Palace, a white-haired young girl suddenly opened her eyes, seeing a world completely different from ordinary people; there were no landscapes or humans, only symbols.

She was the current Young God of Snow, and as her magical skill increased, her appearance continuously regressed until it remained at the age of seven.

She gazed into the distance, seemingly watching a grand beam of light descend, as a certain young man, bathed in divinity and heavenly music, walked step by step toward the Euro-Asian continent.

“A new god-king has been born, and… is he already in an awakened state? Notify all nations to welcome the new god, and do not be negligent.”

“Yes, Your Goddess.”

A snow-clad priestess reverently replied and slowly exited the palace.

In a brief moment, all countries on the Euro-Asian continent received news of the new god’s birth. Upon reading the information, they immediately confirmed this was unequivocally a country-level Mage, of which there were only three throughout the entire continent. No matter what, they had to hold a grand welcome, treating him as the guardian god of Euro-Asia.

The three from Hilo merely took advantage by using “country-level magic” rather than being actual country-level Mages themselves, which indicated there were significant limitations involved, such as the possibility of separating the trio.

However, true country-level Mages clearly did not possess such weaknesses; even simply using body-enhancing magic could easily suppress an army. Once they unleashed their most powerful magic, the terrifying consequences could flatten an entire nation.

Because of this, even without knowing what had occurred, various nations arranged the most magnificent delegations to head to the relevant coasts, directly dispatching aircraft carriers to welcome the new god.

Ultimately, this was the era of Mages; even aircraft carriers and nuclear bombs were relatively powerless against magic.

For example, if a country-level Mage specializing in spatial magic existed, they could directly target and transport objects to any point globally…

If a nuclear bomb were transported, a nation’s capital would instantly fall to nothingness. Similarly, defending against a nuclear bomb would also be effortless, as long as the military scanned its flight coordinates, they could activate magic from afar.

This was the intimidation of country-level Mages; even in modern times, they were practically gods, each capable of dictating the fate of a nation and even the fate of the entire world.

This new god was no exception.

With the power to nullify all attacks and consume everything, regardless of whether it was magic, in terms of actual performance, it truly reached the level of a god.

Establishing a good relationship with such a figure was essential, whether he came from enemy nations or allies, as his power ensured that he had transcended the confines of nationhood; viewing him merely as an enemy or citizen would certainly result in chaos and even enormous crises.

After all, no matter how subjective his will may be, his power was genuine; once it went out of control, it could easily destroy a nation, and by then, it would be too late for anything to be said.

So…

“Respected new god, I am Alania, a priestess of Snow Palace. I have come as an envoy to serve the new god at the request of the governments and the Young God.”

As Yun Ye boarded the aircraft carrier, a beautiful woman with long white hair stepped in front of him, bowing respectfully and behaving gracefully.

The priestesses of Snow Palace have served deities since ancient times, serving as a bridge between gods and humans, and were also known as sacrifices in ancient times.

Due to the Young God’s unique status, the priestesses of Snow Palace have always been women, and as they practiced the magic of Snow Palace, their hair turned white, marking Snow Palace as the boundary of “witches.”

To the east lay countries that worshipped male witches, while to the west were nations that hunted female witches, a division that had still not ceased in modern times.

Due to ongoing battles among various countries for the right to monitor S-level Mages, many meaningless wars ensued. Eventually, after discussions, they each took a step back and granted this right to the eternally neutral Snow Palace.

Thus, the farcical “harem lord” competition from the past came to a close; all new S-level Mages would only have one Snow Palace priestess as a servant to prevent them from going off track.

Yun Ye had no interest in any of this, so he directly handed the control over to Noah, leaving behind a phrase: “You handle it yourself; I will return when something interesting happens.”

“Hey, hey, hey! I still don’t know who you are!” Noah exclaimed in a fluster, continuously asking questions.

He found himself unable to speak or even show any unusual movements, as though the one who signed the contract had imposed constraints to prevent him from exposing himself.

His questions went unanswered.

Yun Ye was not in good condition; while crossing the ocean, they encountered a distortion object, which he quickly devoured and suppressed, further depleting his strength.

Now, Yun Ye had no thoughts of wasting energy and was entirely focused on recovering his spirit within himself.

He knew the future, patiently awaiting the storm, merely observing how events unfolded.

“My name is Noah, um, hello… But new god, what does serving mean?”

Seeing he received no reply, Noah scratched his head, deciding to respond to the person before him, as it wouldn’t be good to keep someone waiting too long.

“Lord Noah, it’s normal not to know. The military of Greater Asia restricts your freedom and hasn’t informed you of much about the outside world. Please follow me; you must be hungry, and we can chat while we eat.”

Alania raised her arm, guiding Noah forward.

Along the way, not a single soldier or high-ranking government official was seen, completely creating a relaxed atmosphere. This was a plan developed after they learned about Noah; both serious soldiers and slippery politicians could potentially displease the new god.

In the end, the dining area was chosen to be slightly better than the room on the Ya Guang battleship, appearing to be a step-by-step improvement.

Despite their attentiveness, Noah felt quite surprised but was able to adapt quickly, sitting down to eat and chat with the white-haired priestess, creating a harmonious environment and gaining a general understanding of the situation.

“I’m a newly born god? To be called a ‘god’ is such a grand existence? Ah, this is too exaggerated!”

Noah exclaimed in astonishment.

The confined management indeed left him missing a lot of common knowledge; for instance, while the woman before him was beautiful, he had no thoughts of that sort, a result of complete educational isolation.

Yet gods are unquestionably unavoidable in human history, especially for someone from the European continent, who would necessarily know various myths and the singular god.

He understood the definition of a god well; even though the gods in history had all fallen short, a god had to be compared to a singular god, thus appearing grand.

It was surprising that the governments of various countries regarded him as a god, sending an exceptionally excellent girl to serve him, to protect him in danger, to correct him when he went astray, and to guide him when he was confused, showing remarkable importance.

To discover that the existence of the contract he signed turned out to be a god? — He finally understood the kind of miracle he had encountered.

An existence that effortlessly helped him escape peril, completely crushing the enemy’s schemes, was indeed an entity that could be called a god!

He could not help but clasp his hands together in prayer, thankful for his fortune.

“……”

Alania was extremely surprised; she informed Noah that being a ‘god’ and an ‘S-level’ Mage carried significant weight to change his perspective and recognize his position. How could this new god instead begin to pray? Could it be that he believed in some imaginary deity?

This was not acceptable; a god should fully embody their own will and not be devoted to others.

Such a god was truly dangerous beyond measure!

—In the following weeks, congratulations poured in from all nations, or rather, every sovereign state in the world extended their greetings.

Congratulations on the birth of a new country-level Mage, congratulations on the birth of a new god; this was humanity’s fortune, as they could suppress the highest-level distortion objects.
