Chapter 1064: Chapter 400: The King of the Earth

Hearing this, the Fox looked at the Old Dog with more respect in his eyes.

“This is really unexpected…”

Aleister exclaimed, “After arriving in Star Antimony, the most dignified person I encountered is actually a jester.”

“Hehe…”

However, Old Dog Laro just gave a carefree laugh: “With a King who trusts me, I am a jester. Otherwise, I am just a clown who loves to talk crazy… a sad madman. Clowns are neither loved nor lovable.”

As they were speaking, a noisy commotion came from ahead.

Aleister leaped forward a few steps and then jumped back onto the white horse.

“You’re back.”

The white horse said solemnly, “Let us fight side by side again, partner.”

Its tone became firm again, free from the previous hesitation and conflict, clearly having resolved the issues on its mind.

“So you have become strong again, Your Highness?”

Aleister quipped.

“Because we have already come this far, we have no room to retreat.”

The white horse’s voice rang clear as a youth: “If we retreat, it’s an end of crushing bones. For the survival of our race–help me once more, will you? My Wisdom…”

“Alright, brave white horse.”

Aleister sighed, looking ahead at the heavily armored carnivorous creatures’ legion: “Really, I never thought I would end up fighting with this kind of animal…”

Compared to the motley army of small animals behind him, just a distant look at the legion composed of armored brown bears, wolves, hyenas, and eagles felt terrifying.

And what are those behind him?

Little rabbits, Little Deer, little sheep, little kangaroos, Little Cat, little dogs…

–How are we supposed to fight this?

Unless a powerful Thunder Roar is summoned right here to let these small animals operate mechas, Aleister really couldn’t see any possibility of winning.

Although among these small animals there are also many carnivores, such as foxes and cats and dogs, these obviously aren’t the type of animals that can survive on grass alone.

…Do I need to step in? Well, that’s not impossible, but it feels like this isn’t exactly the correct path to victory…

Aleister thought so, releasing the Night Fiend. The crow flapped its wings, following right beside them.

Meanwhile, from another angle they couldn’t see.

The spiritual body form of Aiwass sighed in relief.

He had just had a long talk with the white horse, and it took quite an effort to calm it down.

He turned back and looked at Aleister who had transformed into a fox, and couldn’t help but stroke her. However, Aiwass’s hand just passed through Aleister’s body, and she did not feel his presence at all.

“She is your friend?”

Old Mage leaned on his Magic Wand, strolling over from afar: “She doesn’t seem very smart, unaware of her own situation.”

He had just finished talking to the Golden Lion.

After that, he immediately rushed over to see what Aiwass was up to.

The white horse looked back at the Old Mage, who slightly shook his head to indicate him not to talk.

“I wish you victory, Your Highness.”

Aiwass paid no attention to the Old Mage, but gently spoke to the white horse: “I will pray for you that you triumph.”

The white horse nodded slightly, briefly responding: “We will win.”

But atop the white horse, Aleister only heard the white horse’s voice.

Her face instantly soured: “You’re doing this…”

Why is someone setting up flags on the battlefield.

Immediately after, the white horse quickened its pace for a few steps.

Its speed increased, and suddenly it unfurled a pair of Pure White wings and soared high into the air!

“O Thunder!”

The clear voice of the white horse resounded in the air, and numerous eagles and hawks swooped to follow.

Yet its prayer had already echoed through the sky: “Shatter my foes–”

The next moment, furious lightning fell from the sky.

Dense and web-like, the storm of thunderclouds fell from the dark clouds, baptizing amidst the herd of beasts.

One by one, formidable beasts howled as they were struck down.

Aleister hunched her body low, clung tightly to the back of the white horse, and stared in awe.

—-You really grew taller!

No, does Arthur have this move??

And the massive Crimson Bear roared and leapt over from the other side—-

When it landed, the whole earth trembled with a thunderous rumble!

The ground cracked open, countless fissures instantly spread, and small animals fell into them.

Immediately after, one by one, the small animals unfurled wings as pure white as angels and barely flew out from the fissures.

But within those gaping fissures in the earth, sharp rock spikes suddenly thrust upwards, striking and injuring them in swathes!

The earth shook violently, constantly changing shape at a high frequency. It wasn’t just a simple earthquake — the ground looked like the frequency waves of a music player during a song. The small animals were continuously thrown into the air, only to be struck back up by new rock spikes as they fell.

—-Ah? Does Supreme Heaven have this move? No, Arthur wasn’t supposed to face Supreme Heaven at first, what about the Giant King and “Wounded Branch”?

As someone who had “personally experienced” the battle of punishing the heavens, Aleister felt a moment of confusion.

But if you say, this is that time with the Eternal Self Enchanting Beast Master, that doesn’t seem quite right either… Eternal Self didn’t physically fight the Beast Master.

Fortunately, Aleister’s understanding of mystical knowledge was deep enough.

It seems there was only one incident that fits these conditions…

It was a story told by the Lord of Scalefeather to Aleister.

“Heaven Devouring Titan Nibiru…”

Aleister murmured softly.

It was the most glorious achievement of the Winged Celestial Marshal when he was still a mortal.

“…at that time, there was a towering giant beast on the earth, who particularly preyed on the Winged Ones.”

The voice of the Lord of Scalefeather echoed in Aleister’s ears:

[It grew stronger as it ate the creatures of strength; it grew wiser as it ate the creatures of wisdom. It swallowed longevity-filled Demon Trees, consumed millions of scale bearers, and thus obtained a tough shell and sturdy bones]

[It believed itself to be “The King of the Earth,” with its only flaw being its lack of wings. Hence it was bound by the earth, unable to dominate the skies]

[So it devoured a large number of the winged race, hoping to grow wings. Its body grew larger, yet it never sprouted wings]

Aleister suddenly turned back, looking at those small animals that had grown angelic wings.

That is…

—-Winged Ones?

Aleister’s eyes widened as he whispered.

“…What is she thinking?”

The Old Mage in his spiritual state commented, “Isn’t this supposed to be the event of the Elves’ rebellion against the Beast Master? The greatest kingdom of humans, Helasal Empire, was born from this.

“I remember, that was called…[Demon Beast War]right. Those races not created by the Beast Master, united to fight against the hundred kinds of demon beast army. That white horse should be Eternal Self, and the horse is also associated with the sun and moon. According to the outcome of that war, it was mankind that ultimately flourished… which symbolizes the ‘lion’ at the dawn of the Helasal Empire.”

“That may not be the case.”

But Aiwass just slightly closed his eyes: “This scene, also has another interpretation…”

Aleister was still trying to recall the words of the Lord of Scalefeather:

“—-Ultimately, it was the Winged Celestial Marshal, still a mortal at the time, who killed that giant beast when he was on the brink of death. He didn’t have the powerful Strength nor the peak abilities he later possessed. So he relied on traps, schemes, poison, and Curse to complete ‘the hunt’…”

It was a transcendent act of overcoming the strong with the weak.

Why are there no “humans” in this world?

That’s right, it’s because humans have not yet been born—-

This was an era when even the Lord of Scalefeather didn’t exist, when Supreme Heaven and Great Sage were still mortals, when the Hunting King still remained, when The King of the Earth roamed the earth, preying on mortals…

—-This indeed is the battle of punishing the heavens.

But this is the “first chapter” of the battle!

Looking at that white horse spreading its wings in the sky, summoning lightning, Aleister seemed to see a brave warrior with white wings on his back. And its opponent, the crimson-colored Ursa Major, looked so fierce and terrifying…

That is the story of the pure white horse, representing the oppressed races, leading thousands to battle against Ursa Major!

Then, the identity of that golden lion… goes without saying.

The lion that disintegrated from within by a mole.

That symbolizes, the Hunting King “plundered of scales and feathers” by Lord of Scalefeather!

“—-So, this too is a cycle of Destiny?”

And if to satisfy the conditions of this story…

Aleister suddenly realized what he needed to do.

“Vinesse, Curse that Ursa Major!”
