The howling snowstorm obscured the sun, and the giant serpent touching the sky appeared out of nowhere at the center of the Capital, capturing everyone's gaze.

Those immense Emerald Green Snake Eyes, like emerald stars intermittently revealed among the clouds, held neither malice nor mercy, merely existing there, calmly surveying the All Living Beings below.

The Capital, previously enveloped in the noise of war, seemed to have been paused at this moment. All sounds quieted down, save for the everlasting howl of the snowstorm.

The hearts of the strong felt as if doused with cold water, their once active thoughts seemingly frozen; those ordinary citizens fortunate enough to witness this scene found their minds completely blank.

Without a doubt, the invasion of the Black Gate and the Winged People caused significant destruction to the Capital, bringing deep catastrophe and suffering to the citizens.

However, this was still a war among humankind.

This malicious ritual built upon conspiracy, deceit, and betrayal was akin to a poison dagger stabbing into the heart from behind, deadly and evil as it was, fearsome as it might be—

It was far less shocking than the immense serpent before them.

It was the embodiment of Nature, or the manifestation of disaster.

No more the slaughter among humans, but destruction descending as an equal.

Even if both bring death, perishing from a Stealth Attack of a Sharp Blade and being buried in a ferocious Avalanche are entirely different concepts.

"...Now the Nature has changed." Someone's face was grim, issuing a command with urgency: "Get ready."

Indeed, the Nature has changed.

Now, their main task has shifted from fighting enemies to—resisting a Catastrophe.

Powerful Magic Power rose from one corner of the Capital, swiftly converging into a complex and massive Array. The radiance of Magic Power tearing through Space gradually coalesced into a sharp Light Spear.

The length of this Light Spear was comparable to a street, its spearhead as large as a house, the blazing light distorting the surrounding scenery as it scorched the Space, a piercing tremor resounded across the sky.

In the next instant, the massive Light Spear was launched, slicing through the air, piercing the roaring snowstorm, and splitting, heading straight for the towering snow-capped peak.

[Hero activates skill: Holy Mountain: Due to the effect of Holy Word Puppet Rhyme, the Hero gains a minimum Armor of 659*1.1+608/2=1029 points]

[The Hero's Armor exceeds the maximum of the ritual strike, the Hero did not receive any damage]

The Hero calmly watched the small light needle approaching closer, a ripple stirred in the tranquil Emerald Eyes as still as a lake.

Then, the Snow Mountain Serpent spanning the heavens and the earth began to move.

A thunderous quake spread across the land, the ground shook violently, and buildings collapsed one after another.

Whether ancient relics from the Ancient Royal City or the present-day Capital's buildings, these structures, having endured countless ravages of war yet retained their basic appearance, crumbled, destroyed in the destructive quake, mingling into indistinguishable rubble.

This tremor not only fractured the earth but shook the entire world, the snowstorm roared like thunder, and the invisible shockwave crushed all that dared to desecrate the Holy Mountain into dust.

The menacing Light Spear, amidst the violent snowstorm and oppressive shockwave, started diminishing at a visible speed. The sharp radiance had not yet broken through the blizzard enveloping the snow-capped peak when it was depleted along the way, extinguishing silently in mid-air.

The ripples in the Snake Eyes settled again, returning to peace.

The giant serpent moved straight toward its target, the massive shadow it cast covered the entire battlefield, rendering everything unstable.

The cold wind howled, snowflakes danced, and the Capital stepped into harsh winter in the instant the Big Snake appeared.

Nevertheless, some corners of the city remained eerily calm.

The center point guarded by countless Space Rifts, the ritual site where the Key of Transformation was located, was one of them.

[Hair Color]

d24+d100=d24(21)+d100(11)

[Eye Color]

In stark contrast to the violent snowstorm and severe tremors outside, the interior of the ritual site had not a single breeze, but the rapidly dropping temperature testified that its downfall wouldn't be far off.

Watching the approaching Big Snake, the awe-inspiring scene, at the center of the massive Array Patterns, a man in a black robe pulled back his hood, revealing a handsome youth.

His soft hair, deep purple near black, fell on either side of his shoulders, and his eyes shone with a clear orange-red.
