Chapter 249 Are you ready to fall, Singer of Silence?
[Twelve Rings Spell. Nine Rings Tower's Ascension Spell]

[Introduction: When you understand the nature of a god, you can use this spell to pull him down from the throne and replace him.]

Deya looked at the prompts on the panel in front of him.

This is the only twelve-ring spell in the world. It truly has the power to make even gods fall and allow a mortal to become a god.

However, this spell also has great flaws. For example, just understanding the nature of a god is too demanding for any mortal or wizard.

If one wants to thoroughly study the essence of a god, it may require an individual or an organization to conduct tireless research for thousands or even millions of years.

"If the gods could fall so easily, then there would be no point in them being so high and mighty."

Deya chuckled.

Although he had perfected and researched this unique magic under the inheritance of the mages of the Nine Rings Tower,

But even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it is not certain whether a wizard who can use this spell will appear.

But no matter what, Deya has pointed out a new path for all mortals and all mages, a path to a higher realm.

At least he told all the people in the Nine Rings that the road ahead was not impossible, it was just more difficult.

"It just so happens that I, who possess half of the divine essence of the Silent Chanter, am the one who knows that god best. This spell was tailor-made for me. After all, it was created by me."

Deya had been in a time loop before, and he had no idea what was happening in the outside world or how much time had passed.

When he finally figured out the spell and left the time loop, the first thing he did was look outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Fortunately, the sky outside was still clear blue with floating clouds.

This means that the Nine Rings Tower has not yet started the escape plan and has not headed to the gap between planes. He is still in his former material world.

From this point alone, we can analyze that no matter what the situation outside is, at least it is not time to despair, and the timing for him to complete his research is just right.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Deya looked at the history of time.

He found that he was studying spells faster than he had imagined. Of course, this might also be because Lamia was trying too hard and shortening the time in the outside world as much as possible.

There are still two full months left to meet the three years that Deya requested.

Deya calmed himself down. He immediately lifted the sealed protection of the black tower and left the research institute on the top of the tower.

He also used this method to tell the other tower masters of the Nine Rings Tower that he had completed his research on magic.

As soon as he walked out of the laboratory, Deya saw a petite girl wearing a Gothic long skirt and with an elegant figure floating in the air in front of the door.

That was none other than Patricia, the Eternal Lady.

Apart from her, no one else came to greet her.

"Long time no see, Patricia. In my subjective consciousness, I have spent a full 70 years. During these 70 years, apart from basic rest, I devoted myself to studying magic.

This was my first time experiencing this, and it made me very happy, but also mentally exhausted.”

Deya said with a smile and greeted Patricia at the door.

Patricia curled her lips slightly and said, "It's only 70 years. It's too short. You will experience more years in the future. You have to learn to get used to it first."

Deya laughed and said, "Patricia, you're right. I should get used to it."

Patricia asked with some anticipation: "Did the spell research succeed?"

"Of course, if I don't succeed, there's no way I can end the cycle of time."

Deya nodded gently, looked around and asked, "...Where are Lamia and the others? Are they fighting those bugs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Adolf's excited voice came from the void: "I can tell you these things in detail, Deya, how is the situation, have you succeeded in researching that spell?"

A teleportation portal appeared in front of Deya, and only the tower masters could use the teleportation spell inside the Nine Rings Tower.

Inside the door, an old man wearing a purple wizard robe and with white hair and beard almost jumped out, from which one could see his inner emotions at the moment.

Deya bowed to Adolf and said, "Master Adolf, things are going smoothly. I have already researched the spell and named it "The Divine Ascension Spell of the Nine-Ring Tower."

"Okay, okay, okay. 'The Divine Art of the Nine-Ring Tower'? Yeah, that's a good name."

Master Adolf stroked his white beard with his hand, his expression surprised and his voice trembling.

"When I have some free time, I will make this spell into a spell book for later generations to learn."

This kind of twelve-ring spell, even if just for observation, probably requires an eighth-ring or above to be qualified.

Although Adolf was eager to study the spell model right now, it was not because he had high expectations of becoming a god. It was just that facing the only spell in the world, which wizard would not want to observe it?

However, Adolf also knew that it would take a lot of time to make a spell of this level into a spell book. He suppressed his inner excitement and said, "There is no rush for this matter. What preparations does this spell require? The Nine Rings Tower will prepare everything you need!"

To witness the birth of a god with one's own eyes, to see a mortal become a god, this has been the greatest desire of the Nine Rings Tower for thousands of years.

Now that his generation finally has the chance to see it, how can Adolf not be excited.

Deya smiled and said, "Master Adolf, this spell does not require any external preparation, it only requires the caster's own mental preparation.

After all, this involves the gods, and it cannot be influenced by external things."

Master Adolf slapped his head and shook his head, saying, "I was too impatient. If matters involving the gods could be influenced by external objects, then the gods wouldn't be so high above everything. Deya, how long do you need to prepare?"

Deya asked, "Is it because the battle situation outside is too critical and I need to use my magic quickly?"

"That's not the case. It's not that dangerous outside yet. You don't have to listen to my nonsense. I'm just a little impatient. You should make all preparations before casting your spell.

This is your only chance, so don't be too hasty and cause problems."

Upon hearing this, Deya complained in his heart, "Aren't you the one who is too impatient, Master Adolf?"

He paused for a moment and then said, "Studying this spell takes a lot of energy. I need to rest for a few days. After about three days, I will be able to cast this spell with full power."

"Don't you need to rest more?"

At this time, Master Adolf was no longer in a hurry. He said with concern.

"No need. Three days is enough. I just perfected this spell. I am most confident now. If I don't use it while I am in my current state of mind, the longer I put it off, the worse it will be."

Deya shook his head.

“Well, this is a spell that you perfected. I don’t know the specifics, so just follow your own pace.

You don't have to worry about what's happening outside. Although the empire has lost nearly half of its territory and suffered heavy casualties among the people, the empire's last line of defense is very solid, and it is impossible for that swarm of insects to break through the defense line in a short period of time.

The Mother of All Living Things has not yet shown any signs of awakening, so we have plenty of time to prepare and don't need to be too rigid."

Master Adolf also knew that Deya wanted to know the situation outside, so he introduced the basic situation to him in detail.

He started by talking about the biological habits of the insects, and also explained clearly the respective countermeasures of both sides in the past three years.

At the beginning, due to the lack of understanding of the habits of the Zerg, the defense line built by the Empire was completely useless, which caused the Empire to suffer considerable losses in the beginning.

However, with a gradual understanding of the Zerg and after surviving the first wave of attacks, the Empire quickly stabilized the situation and fought against the Zerg throughout the north.

It was not until the eight-ring and nine-ring Zerg Lords were hatched in the place where the Mother of All Beings was that the empire faced even greater pressure.

But after losing part of the territory, their eight-ring and nine-ring warriors were able to temporarily withstand the pressure and did not let the insect swarms invade again.

As the territory shrank, the areas that needed to be defended became fewer, and the range of activities of the eight-ring and nine-ring strong men was quite large. It was precisely because of this that the empire was able to withstand the pressure.

However, Master Adolf did not specify how many people died as a result, but it is likely to be a considerable number, probably tens of millions.

Faced with the catastrophe of all mankind, such sacrifices were already within the empire's initial expectations.

Lamia, Sally and others were also fighting on the front line at this time, trying to buy as much time as possible.

Although Ignis persuaded most of the dragons to join the war, the Mother of All Living Things also had the help of evil dragons, and no one could break the balance between the two sides in this regard for the time being.

Master Adolf finally said with emotion: "Even if there were no evil dragons, the dragons would be powerless against the insect swarms all over the mountains and the insect lords among them.

Don’t be fooled by the tense situation now. If the war continues, the Empire will surely be defeated. The human spirit cannot withstand decades of overwhelming pressure.

The empire has also prepared an escape plan to the demiplane. If things really become hopeless, the imperial family will take the tens of millions of people in the capital and flee to the demiplane.

But no one knows whether the Mother of All Living Things will find the location of the demiplane. This is just a gamble."

He stared at Deya and said solemnly: "All the hope now is actually waiting for you."

Deya did not feel any pressure. He just nodded and said, "I will not let everyone down."

Deya didn't talk much with Master Adolf. He already knew the general situation, and now he didn't have the ability to break the impasse.

Only by casting that spell and ascending to the throne to become a true god can the deadlock be truly broken!

……

Three days later, at the top of the Black Tower of the Nine Rings Tower, Deya did not inform anyone. He stood on the platform of the tower, letting the strong wind blow on his face. He stared at the boundless sky, as if he was looking at the 'God of Death' of the divine world from across the air.

"Are you ready to fall? Singer of Silence!"
