Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1044 - 477: Collapse of the Earth Veins (2)

The power of the Elemental Rainbow Core reacted subtly with the Chaos Divine Fire within David, causing an imbalance in his divine fire state.

The originally stable Pseudo-God Tier began to show cracks, with an unsettling force stirring within him, as if it could erupt at any moment.

Faced with this sudden change, David demonstrated his decisiveness and wisdom as a leader.

He knew deeply that if Annie were left to be eroded by the "Curse Whisper," not only would she fall into a state of irredeemable disaster, but the entire team would also face an unprecedented crisis.

Therefore, he used Annie’s Spirit Contract Ability, attempting to transfer part of the curse to the Earth Veins creatures to lighten Annie’s burden.

The Spirit Contract is a mysterious and powerful ability that allows Annie to form a deep connection with Earth Veins creatures, even controlling them to a certain extent.

By guiding Annie’s thoughts, David led part of the curse’s power into nearby Earth Veins creatures.

After these creatures bore the curse, they grew frenzied and restless, but Annie’s consciousness gradually regained clarity.

However, this action also exposed the fragility of the team’s Faith Network.

David knew well that their strength largely depended on their trust in each other and their faith.

Yet the transferring of the curse made them realize that once faith wavers, the whole network could collapse.

David began to reflect on whether they were overly reliant on external forces and contracts, neglecting internal growth and cultivation.

He realized that true strength doesn’t merely come from divine blessings and contractual bonds, but from inner determination and self-transcendence.

Under David’s guidance, team members began to re-examine their faith and strength.

They no longer solely relied on contracts and divine protection but began to strive to explore their own potential and improve their self-cultivation.

After this trial, Annie gained a deeper understanding and control of the Earth Veins’ power;

The Artifact Spirit also grew through this incident, learning how to wield the power of the Elemental Rainbow Core more skillfully;

Liya became even more determined in her pursuit of knowledge and exploration of truth;

Cynthia began to try controlling and guiding the Plague Power to prevent it from going out of control again;

And David gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between faith and strength, beginning to repair the cracks in his Pseudo-God Tier and seeking new ways to enhance his power.

The forests of the Elf Race, lush and mysterious, with sunlight streaming through dense canopies, casting mottled shadows.

David and his group walked on the soft grass, filled with longing for the Life Mother Tree Juice.

However, upon reaching the territory of the Elf Race, they were met with cold rejection.

Cynthia walked at the front, her eyes pleading, but the faint plague aura around her acted like an invisible wall, isolating her from the goodwill of the Elf Race.

"We need the Life Mother Tree Juice to reconcile the conflict between the Elemental Rainbow Core and the Desolate Divinity, which concerns the safety of countless lives." Although her voice was gentle, it couldn’t hide her urgency.

The elders of the Elf Race looked at each other, their eyes filled with wariness and disdain.

"The aura of the plague is taboo for our Elf Race. We cannot trust an existence that may bring disaster." The elders’ tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

At this moment, a traitorous elf approached stealthily, a cunning gleam in his eyes.

Seizing a moment when no one was looking, he mixed a bottle of contaminated Life Mother Tree Juice into the impending ceremony.

David and the others, unaware of this conspiracy, awaited the ceremony’s commencement with eager anticipation.

However, after Annie drank that bottle of juice, her body suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and then she lost control.

Her figure swelled rapidly, scales covering her entire body, her eyes flashing with desolation and destruction, transforming into a terrifying "Desolate Giant Statue."

She began to indiscriminately attack everything around her, with the forest of the Elf Race trembling under her trampling.

Seeing this, David’s expression changed dramatically, and he quickly unfolded his Divine Domain in an attempt to suppress Annie’s rampage.

But this move unexpectedly exposed his pseudo-god identity, with a powerful divine power surge instantly sweeping across the Wizarding World, causing tremendous upheaval.

In the chaos, Liya tightly held onto the Silver Moon Pendant, her gaze unusually firm.

The pendant emitted a soft glow in her hand, a map of the "Four Elements Divine Format" slowly emerging.

She carefully interpreted the information on the map, and suddenly had a calculation in mind.

"We need to gather the Wind, Earth Element Divine Formats, to complete the Elemental Rainbow Core and end this crisis." Although her voice was light, it resonated like thunder in everyone’s hearts.

David furrowed his brow tightly, looking at the rampaging Annie and the panic-stricken Elf Race, filled with an unprecedented sense of urgency.

He knew that time was urgent, and they had to act quickly, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Cynthia held her magic staff tightly, with a gaze filled with both remorse and determination.

"I will find a way to control the Plague Power and no longer let it become our burden." Although her voice was low, it revealed an undeniable firmness.Liya quickly organized her thoughts, preparing to formulate a detailed plan. "We split up; David and I will search for the Wind Element Divine Format, while Cynthia and Reina will search for the Earth Element Divine Format.

Annie... will temporarily be left in the care of the Artifact Spirit, hoping it can stabilize her mood and assist her." Her arrangement was methodical, demonstrating her calmness and decisiveness as a sage.

In the forest of the Elf Race, which had become chaotic due to Annie’s rampage, team members each embarked on new journeys.

Their expressions were solemn and determined, filled with uncertainty about the future and a yearning for victory.

This crisis silently became an opportunity for their growth and transformation.

On the edge of the Elf Race’s forest, a small border village lay quietly amidst lush greenery.

The villagers had lived for generations by farming, leading peaceful and simple lives.

However, a sudden change shattered the tranquility here.

Annie’s rampage triggered intense vibrations in the Earth Veins, making the entire Earth seem to tremble.

Yet, within what appeared to be a disastrous quake, a streak of apocalyptic miracle unexpectedly emerged.

The fields, once fragmented due to collapse, began miraculously self-repairing with the surge of Earth Veins.

Cracks gradually closed, shattered soil reunited, forming lush patches of fertile land.

Even more astonishing was the appearance of a pack of Earth Dragon Beasts at the village’s edge, seemingly out of nowhere.

Their enormous bodies moved slowly across the ground, filling in each collapsed area with their hard scales and strong limbs.

The villagers watched this scene in shock, their eyes filled with incredulous light.

"Look, the Earth Mother is protecting us!"

An elderly villager, with trembling hands, pointed at the Earth Dragon Beast Pack, his voice quivering with excitement, "She has sent her envoys to save our homeland!"

As the Earth Dragon Beast Pack continued their work, the village’s fields quickly restored to their original state, even becoming more fertile than before.

The villagers emerged from their homes, kneeling on the ground, earnestly praying to the sky, thanking what they called the "Earth Mother Incarnation" — Annie.

David stood on a distant highland, silently observing it all.

His heart was filled with complex emotions.

On one hand, he felt gratified by the initial manifestation of the Faith Network; on the other, he deeply understood the immense crisis hidden behind this fleeting manifestation.

The Eternal Night Council wouldn’t stand idly by, surely finding ways to destroy it all.

Sure enough, as David anticipated, the Eternal Night Council soon took action.

They spread a rumor, claiming that "pseudo-gods are disasters," attempting to undermine the villagers’ faith in Annie.

Rumors spread like wildfire, quickly spreading across the entire Wizarding World.
