Chapter 1073 943: Empire Strife · Declaration

Aiven sat by the recliner, rubbing the lotion rich with Extraordinary Spiritual Light into his palms.

He activated his golden-green Divine Power capable of nurturing all things, melting it gently, and the faint fragrance even made the wisteria overhead sway, sprouting more flower clusters.

A formula meticulously prepared by Aiven and Angie, both Demigods, including rose hip, shea butter essential oil, lavender...

A total of more than ten raw materials, each one carefully cultivated by Fairies in the Central Courtyard, equivalent to priceless Extraordinary Tier 4 treasures.

Gently applying along the perfect leg texture of the Star Moon Goddess, softly smoothing over the thighs, calves, instep, with her bright silver toes glistening like moonlight.

The lotion slowly spread across her glowing white skin, fresh from soaking in the Essence of Life.

Before long, Olivia began to sweat slightly around her nose and gasped lightly, evidently the lotion's effects were impressive.

Listening to his wife, whose face glowed with maternal radiance, muttering to herself, Aiven continued to seriously massage her, shrugging his shoulders:

"The matter of two Truth Embodiments having offspring is something without a ready record, besides myths.

Theoretically, each Truth Embodiment is a mysterious source on the Extraordinary Path.

From the origin, they are completely different species from humans, and if the paths conflict, it should be entirely impossible for their Extraordinary Traits to blend.

Perhaps, the chance of Truth Embodiments reproducing with mortals might be greater than our situation. Maybe we're the first example in this era."

Aiven's Truth Embodiment: Crown of Miracles' core authority is Creation, and one of the core authorities of the Divine Position: God of All Things Fertile is All Things Coexist.

Olivia's Truth Embodiment: Rose Mother's core authority is The Fifth Element, and one of the core authorities of the Divine Position: Star Moon Goddess is Enlightenment.

After Olivia achieved Tier 5 ascension, their authorities experienced a series of subtle chemical reactions, finally successfully "resulting" on a certain shy night, leading to a pregnancy for the past three years.

On the surface, it seemed recently evident, with a few added charming elements to the girl's delicate curves, akin to a matron's allure.

But in Aiven's perception of authority, the baby inside Olivia's belly, though as undefined as the Invisible Son, physically had already fully developed.

Moreover, it reached the Tier 2 Peak in just three short years.

Currently, its power level continues to escalate, predicting its future upper limit, it's not entirely impossible even to be born as a Divine Creature level.

Anyway, this is genuinely a Divine Descendant, and it wouldn't be surprising even carrying inherited memories from Aiven.

It's just...

Would there be a day when a muscular little King Kong standing eight feet tall and wide, yet having a cute baby face, suddenly appears and cuff his fists, saying in a booming voice: "Daddy, the child is here."

Just imagining that scene... Aiven couldn't help feeling a bit stomach-churned.

However, concerning the Extraordinary Traits containing Divinity, possibly splitting off from himself in the future, Aiven wasn't worried at all.

The three Truth Embodiments have spent over a decade clearing all "World Tumors" within the Broken Star Sea.

Now, starting with the earliest Central Courtyard, the entire Wizard Secret Realm has grown five new tree crowns and five small worlds.

Namely: Central Courtyard, Jotunheim, Vanaheim, Svefnfheim, Niflheim, each larger than the other.

Aiven's Wizard Secret Realm is already a vast world of three hundred thousand square kilometers, an Unbreakable Void Divine Kingdom.

Incidentally, his Divinity within also soared to eight points, comparable to the "Relic Guardian" on the moon.

Even without possessing the Key of Origin, still unable to defeat a True God's angel incarnation, yet among the demigod level, there are only a few he needs to heed.

Just then.

Swish—!

A graceful figure clad in a black long dress with long hair draped over her shoulders, suddenly materialized from void beside the duo, lifting her dress hem lightly spinning onto the small stool on the other side of the recliner.

Looking no older than Olivia, the Nymph skillfully caught her daughter's small hand, expertly applying lotion for her.

At this moment, the emerald-like eyes of the mother-in-law shimmered with golden halo divine light.

Evidently, after so many years, she successfully seized Divinity from the Source of Nightmare, and if it continues down this path, further Divine Position acquisition is imminent.

Currently, individuals from the Tulip line in the Material World above Divine Creatures include:

God of All Things Fertile Aiven, Truth Embodiment: Clock Tower Milan, Star Moon Goddess Olivia, Goddess of Harvest Angie, Dragon King: Goddess of Wind and Rain Anita;

Saint Angel Belenus, Victory Angel Adraste, Black Sea Goddess Hipponeo, God of Steam and Mechanics Watt, Truth Embodiment: Demon Pillar Solomon;

Ocean Goddess Thetis, Sky Goddess Kurutena, King of Sea Monsters Kraken, School of Truth Gate Kingfisher, Dream Reporting God Nymph, Rose Crown Liweina.

A total of sixteen, counting Demigods alone, there are twelve.

Plus, the "Jet Black Dragon" Nidhogg, who cannot leave the Netherworld, appearing considerably formidable, at least not far beyond the members of the Evil God Group on the surface.

"Mom, today's Dream Reporting God work ends so early? The financial crisis at the Golden Palm was just two months ago, there must be plenty of grievances left unprocessed, right?"

However, seeing mother lightly shaking her head, her first words made Aiven and Olivia's bodies suddenly tense.

"Although the official announcement should soon be released, I believe you both wouldn't mind knowing the news earlier.

I've long discovered in the Dream Realm, that the Golden Palm Federation was completely enveloped in an atmosphere of rusty red fervor.

And just now, the Dream Reporting Divine Authority informed me that the Sak Empire's two generations of Emperors, along with the Crown Prince, the first-in-line successor.

Are wailing with boundless resentment in the world's crevices, yearning for someone to avenge them.

In other words, the direct members of the Sak Imperial Family... have all died out."

Aiven silently finished up his work, lightly sighed:

"It finally came, the entire alliance mobilizes, prepare for war."

...

Subsequently, the development of events did not exceed their expectations.

Initially, the Sak Empire was, outside of Monarch's Shield and the International Democratic Alliance, the strongest third-party force sought by both sides.

Yet once the direct line of the Sak Imperial Family died out and all ostensibly "evidence" pointed towards the Hilus Empire and Monarch's Shield, the situation spiraled out of control.

Although there were two Tier 4 Titled Knights within the Sak Empire, neither was from the Sak Royal Family, under stringent contract constraints, they lacked decision-making authority over royal succession.

At this moment.

A branch of the royal family, long stripped of the "Sak" surname and inheritance rights, saw an opportunity, leading with a rallying cry: "Revenge! Revenge!"

Indeed, there is nothing more politically correct than avenging the Royal Family at this point.

As for the Empire's populace, it's impossible to delve into the truth behind the assassination, stirred by certain provocateurs, equally roused.

However, in Monarch's Shield's perspective, it's hard to believe these emergent parties don't have external support.

Sea Origin Calendar Year 220, September 23, the assassination incident occurred;

On October 3, the Sak Empire established a temporary supreme decision-making body comprised of the Prime Minister, administrative heads, and royal branch members.

On the same day, they formally issued a diplomatic correspondence to the still-ignorant Hilus Empire, demanding Hilus surrender the masterminds.

And only three days later, on October 6, being a nation with excessive Martial Virtue, the Sak Empire formally declared war against the Hilus Empire.

Receiving the news in White Swan Castle, Aiven's gaze deepened, recalling words once spoken by the "Jet Black Dragon":

Seeking more springs, besides World Consciousness actively opening permissions.

Only widespread Death!

The return of countless intelligent creatures' souls to the Spiritual Light cycle would result in more spring water, enhanced even better by Extraordinary or divine beings.

"Heh, war..."
