One after the other, the two flew toward the depths of the Divine Kingdom, searching for a suitable place to set up.

As he traveled, Zorn mulled things over.

’Heroic Spirits are quite difficult to kill. Wizards who specialize in the Undead or Evil Spirits are the ones who can deal with them effectively.’

’But no matter what, Heroic Spirits whose source lies within the Tree of the Divine Kingdom’s Magic Ring have to be killed hundreds of times before there’s any hope of completely eliminating them.’

’However, these Heroic Spirits are intelligent. The moment they sense their source has been weakened, they won’t come out so easily. They’ll wait until they’ve recovered to a certain degree before rejoining the war.’

’That’s why wars between Divine Kingdoms involving Heroic Spirits often last for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.’

’A war of Heroic Spirits in a Divine Kingdom is a tough fight.’

’But this difficulty only applies to fighting outside the Divine Kingdom.’

’If I use my special methods to fight my way directly into their Evil God World, or even their Divine Kingdom, then it’s a completely different story.’

’Under the pervasive radiation of my Evil God Calamity, those Heroic Spirits will just be trapped in an endless cycle of Death and Resurrection until they’re completely annihilated.’

’After all, following the few world-destruction events I caused, the Death Black Mist accumulated by my Evil God Calamity is far greater than before.’

As they continued forward, Zorn turned to the Female Sword God, Abigail, and spoke.

"Abigail, Lord Ossirion said our little team has another member, a unique being with astonishing destructive power. It seems he hasn’t arrived yet?"

"You mean Sigmund, right?"

Abigail raised an eyebrow.

"I heard he’s training under Lord Ancient God. He should be here in a few months at the latest."

"I see."

Zorn nodded slightly.

Before long, the two found a well-positioned nexus.

Zorn placed his Steam Magical Castle there.

He then activated a portion of the Divine Kingdom’s power to create a cycle with the outside world.

This would help the shattered Divine Kingdom absorb Energy.

Nearby, Abigail cast a projection of her Tree of the Magic Ring, allowing it to slowly take root in this Divine Kingdom.

Rooting her Magic Ring’s projection in the Divine Kingdom would not only promote the growth of her Tree of the Magic Ring but also help the Divine Kingdom absorb more Energy.

Furthermore, as a Middle Rank God, she could use a portion of her converted Divine Power to nourish the Divine Kingdom.

After setting up their respective bases, the two gathered together again.

"I can travel along many different pathways and networks."

Abigail spoke concisely, getting straight to the point.

"I can even use these unique methods connected to me to traverse World barriers, and even Divine Kingdom barriers."

"But this requires the extended pathways to be sufficiently stable."

"Otherwise, it’s difficult for me to pass through."

She paused here.

"First, let’s see how effective that method of yours for infiltrating Worlds is."

"Okay."

Zorn nodded.

From within his Steam Magical Castle, he immediately began to radiate his Cosmic Time Magic Net.

It was woven from the foundational material of flowing time, its blueprint drawn from the vast Star Realm Cosmic.

Zorn swiftly spread out his Cosmic Time Magic Net.

After sensing it for a moment, Abigail looked at Zorn with slight astonishment.

She could feel the vast, hidden network that Zorn had unfurled.

But when she tried to attune to it, she found that the cosmic network seemed to reject her.

It wouldn’t even allow her to enter.

This was a phenomenon that only occurred when facing extremely powerful beings.

’I never thought Zorn Corick’s methods would be this incredible.’

Her brow furrowed slightly. After a moment of thought, she finally said,

"This cosmic network of yours is quite amazing. I can’t enter it on my own."

Hearing this, Zorn smiled faintly.

’My Cosmic Time Magic Net was born from the Cosmic Demon Pool as its foundation. It’s not something others can just enter as they please.’

Immediately, Zorn drew out a wisp of time and anchored it to the Female Sword God, Abigail.

"That should do it!"

Zorn said.

Sensing that wisp of time, Abigail closed her eyes and focused on the feeling.

A vast network—heavy, immense, and endless, as stable and serene as the cosmos itself—slowly spread through her Perception.

Just by immersing herself in it, she could feel her spirit become calm and serene.

’This cosmic network... it’s incredible!’

Abigail’s spirit trembled slightly.

’I’ve encountered many powerful mimetic networks before.’

’I’ve even entered the divine kingdom mimetic network of an Upper Rank God...’

’But even that Upper Rank God’s network wasn’t as serene or as perfectly attuned to the cosmos as Zorn’s cosmic network.’

’Also...’

She focused her senses.

’Zorn’s Magic Ring power is already at the level of a Middle Rank God, and he’s approaching the Upper Rank.’

’And I’ve only just reached the Middle Rank God level myself, with just over 200 rings.’

When she looked at Zorn again, her expression was completely different.

The foundation of this Evil Spirit Wizard was perhaps even more terrifying than she had imagined.

Attuned to the Cosmic Magic Net, she began to travel rapidly.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Her figure continuously darted through the Cosmic Magic Net, moving with complete freedom.

One moment she was more than ten kilometers away, and the next she was right beside Zorn.

Then, she reappeared hundreds of kilometers away.

She could reach any location almost instantaneously.

’A Mimetic Cosmic Divine Body... this version of the Female Sword God seems exceptionally powerful.’

Zorn thought to himself.

When Zorn’s pathways of time connected with Abigail,

Zorn sensed many things.

Although Zorn could have probed more deeply for more information about her, there was no need.

Before long, the Female Sword God felt Zorn’s Cosmic Magic Net pass through the barrier of the Black Star Divine Kingdom.

She immediately traversed it as well.

If she were following other networks, passing through a Divine Kingdom’s barrier would usually come with a heavy sense of obstruction.

If the network wasn’t stable enough, she might even slam directly into the Divine Kingdom’s barrier.

This time, however, she felt no obstruction at all and passed through the Divine Kingdom’s barrier as if it were nothing.

It was as if the Divine Kingdom Crystal Wall was simply not there.

"This..."

Although this Divine Kingdom Crystal Wall was mottled and shattered, it was still the Crystal Wall of a Middle Rank God’s Divine Kingdom.

Now outside, Abigail looked back at the towering Divine Kingdom Crystal Wall, her expression grave and complex.

Zorn’s Cosmic Magic Net seemed to have reached a depth she couldn’t possibly fathom.

Abigail took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

’Fortunately, he’s on our side.’

Then, Abigail turned her gaze to the outside, to the trillions of Blood Crow Heroic Spirits that formed a massive, dark cloud.

Her killing intent naturally surged.

"Kill!"

She unleashed her Extraordinary Swordsmanship, transforming into a sky full of resplendent Secret Curse Sword Auras that slashed toward the Blood Crow Heroic Spirits.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Empowered by her potent Magic Ring, the Secret Curse Sword Auras were driven by her Divine Power.

Every strike contained immense might.

Each wisp of Secret Technique Sword Qi could precisely slay hundreds, even thousands, of Blood Crow Heroic Spirits.

But the sheer number of Blood Crow Heroic Spirits was simply too great.

The more she killed, the more of them there seemed to be.

Before long, Abigail was surrounded by countless layers of Blood Crow Heroic Spirits.

But as a powerful being who had dared to hunt down Lower Rank Gods when she was only at the Holy Crown Level, she naturally wouldn’t retreat in the face of this ocean-like tide of Blood Crow Heroic Spirits.

Unleashing powerful Sword Technique Secret Spells one after another, she became completely immersed in the slaughter of battle.

Judging by her state, it was obvious that Abigail was enjoying this fight.

Meanwhile, back in the Divine Kingdom, Zorn sat quietly cross-legged atop the steam of his Steam Magical Castle.

’I’m also gaining some benefits from her fighting through my Cosmic Magic Net. It’s not much, but the advantage is that it’s continuous.’

With that thought, Zorn calmed his mind. While keeping an eye on the battle outside, he began to digest a large amount of Time Essence.

This war between Divine Kingdoms would be long and protracted.

He needed to raise his Level first.
