Chapter 1649 Kama Taj Before the Coronation Ceremony

There are thousands of magic sects on the earth, and only a few people at the least. During the siege of the Eternal City, there was no shortage of sects that were found to have been registered in Kama Taj, but now have become declining because of the loss of heirs. Many of these schools have lost contact with Karma Taj in the past few hundred years. If it were not for the purpose of integrating the magic schools on the earth, reestablishing the authority of Karma Taj, and avoiding psychic accidents, those schools that are almost extinct may It will continue to be silent until it becomes a dead skeleton that no one cares about in forests, deserts, and mountain caves, until those who are destined to dig out the treasures and wisdom of the school.

The fate of those people is likely to be tragic, and no incident involving psychic powers is without danger.

The magic schools on earth that were born from their respective civilizations can all be traced back to the exploration of nature and outer dimensions by ancient wizards and shamans. The knowledge passed down has also exceeded the taboos set by Kama Taj to a certain extent. This is why the emperor Reasons for the rush to consolidate all schools of magic on Earth. After losing the Supreme Mage, spellcasters such as some poor people who had to cross the line because of their predicament, madmen who were suppressed by the Supreme Mage for a long time and unable to explore will no longer have any scruples. The Emperor can only use bolters, chainswords and The most cruel punishment to reaffirm the authority of the new order. Regardless of how gentle the Supreme Mage was towards those schools of magic when he was alive, in the era when a large number of psykers were active thousands of years ago, the authority of Kama Taj was also established by the Supreme Mage with the blood of his enemies.

As a former Kama Taj mystic, Victor von Doom is facing hostility from high-level mystics such as Master Wu Guiyue and the recently released Master Mordo. Although there were no casualties in Karma Taj's pursuit of Victor von Doom, he was still one of the few betrayers who was able to escape from Karma Taj, leaving the secrets of the secret hunting operation that had been constructed in the first place. The mages were extremely embarrassed. Now the regent was standing next to Master Hamil, having a brief exchange with the mature and prudent mystic. He did not pay any attention to the Wand of All Laws beside him, which exuded the radiance of rose-red spiritual energy and looked like it was made of white ceramics.

Modu didn't speak anymore, he remained silent.

It was as if the moment he was defeated by the emperor, he lost all authority and vitality.

He learned from the emperor and Master Hamil that the orders he received at that time did not come from the Supreme Mage, but from the demon possessing the Supreme Mage. In other words, he became the devil's accomplice and even almost prevented the emperor from entering the main body. Palace, but his delaying time is equivalent to stepping on the accelerator on the road to the death of the Supreme Mage. Even though others explained that the influence he caused did not affect the outcome of the Supreme Mage, this statement that hurt his self-esteem was more bitter than ridicule in his ears.

"You are still not going to tell Modu the truth?" Master Hamil asked in a low voice, "He is trustworthy, Victor."

"I did not lower his rating because of past grudges, Master Hamil." Victor von Doom had already taken off his helmet. "Mordo's ability is trustworthy, but he failed to get a passing score in the psychological evaluation." . We will not allow any instability to enter the execution level of the core program, and psychological evaluation is one of the most important evaluation criteria, and you should understand it."

"I can only make suggestions, Victor. This world belongs to you, not us old guys."

“Everything we do is in service of the vision of the Supreme Master and Karma Taj.”

"Now he is the Supreme Mage." Master Hamil reminded, "You should change the way you speak."

"I think he should have his own idea, and he will hand over the management of Kama Taj to the right people." Victor von Doom laughed, with a cheerful and gentle smile. "This is the starting point and gear of all his great plans. It is a symbol of integrating all resources and power and shaking his fist towards the enemies of mankind. Kama Taj is very important, and Master Hamil will always be there for the foreseeable future of the human race. maintain an important position.”

"You don't have to comfort me, Victor, I don't think Kama Taj's future is that important. I know why the Supreme Mage didn't want to kill you when you betrayed, because you have always insisted on Kama Taj's future. philosophy, however I suspect that your encounter with him was part of His Holiness’ plan.”

Master Hamil raised his head and looked at the tall figure standing at the top of the stairs.

Pure spiritual energy of gold and white overflowed from the air around him. There was also a blond woman standing by his side who was much taller than the others and who was not burned by the Emperor's psychic radiance like the others. As an arcane mage with a library of knowledge, Master Hamil knew that the Emperor's psychic properties were extremely special.

"Like the previous Supreme Mage, he will never reveal all his plans to others. He is the only one who can know all the Supreme Master's plans. Is he willing to be honest with you, Victor?"

"No, I understand the need for secrecy. A secret is a weapon and a friend. This is what an agent I know said." Victor von Doom shook his head. "He has a reason to keep secrets. And I trust him with all my heart. He's proven that he can live up to that ideal, and that's why I trust him."

Wizard Hamil shrugged.

"Now I have reason to believe that this is the Master Supreme's plan."

The coronation ceremony was prepared in an orderly manner, and the sisterhood became the only member of the organization outside the Guards that could take on the security and material preparation inside the coronation ceremony. The mystics of Kama Taj saw transport planes landing one after another at the expanded airport, and supplies, including weapons, were transported out by bipedal engineering transport mechas and forklifts and delivered to the square. The engineering equipment began to operate, and the engineering team pried open the stone slabs on the square to lay lines. A large amount of gravel and soil were transported away, and were broken, ground, and fired into usable building materials by relevant engineering equipment. The project did not only take place in the courtyard of Kama Taj. A large number of lighting facilities, automatic turrets, mid-stage and terminal air defense systems were placed near Kama Taj's headquarters within ten hours, and mobile air defense missiles were installed in the valleys on both sides. , to avoid any possible blow to this place. After all, the location of Kama Taj is extremely special, and a slight mistake may trigger a large-scale war.

Victor von Doom believes that these political factors are definitely not in the emperor's considerations for the coronation ceremony, because the flight radius of those anti-aircraft missiles can span from here to the Pacific Ocean. Even if a conflict does break out, the emperor can make Kama All countries surrounding Taj remain calm and plan to reassert Kamal Taj's ownership of this land in advance. The price is to abandon the Europa continent conquest strategy and other interlocking plans, and seize the Himalayas, which is now more symbolic than Productive areas, tearing up a large number of trade contracts between Eurasia. However, such a price is still bearable at present, but Victor von Doom feels a little uncomfortable, because it will cause many plans to have to be changed, and it will not be able to meet the original expectations, causing a lot of economic losses.

The emperor nevertheless assured him that Constantinople and the Anatolian plateau would be reconquered as planned.

Victor von Doom stayed briefly at Karma Taj. The mystics who had participated in the Battle of Attilan also temporarily fell asleep due to exhaustion. However, the emperor did not go to rest. He kept standing on the highest courtyard steps and looked down. With Karma Taj. Sleep had lost its meaning to him, and he stood here unleashing his psychic powers - only certain powerful psykers knew that the Emperor had been fighting ghosts from other dimensions this night. When night falls, there is no need for the newly installed lighting facilities to be activated, and the spiritual brilliance of the emperor illuminates this place without any shadows. It is not until the sun creeps out from the other side of the ridge that this night filled with weird chills and noises ends. .

"Do you know that not many people were able to sleep peacefully last night? The noise from those construction vehicles was unbearable." Victor von Doom narrowed his eyes and stretched. A night without official documents, dinners and meetings was a rare leisure time for him. After a night of work, the appearance of many courtyards has changed. Bullet holes have been repaired and blood stains have been cleaned. If you don’t look at the various air defense facilities erected on the peaks around Kama Taj, it seems to have become a peaceful place again. . The towering snow peaks reflected the sunshine, and the sky was clear, as if yesterday's haze had dissipated. Not many people know that this is the emperor's effort last night. The Praetorian Guards stood silently behind the emperor, their armor covered with a thin layer of dust - Karma Taj's protective spell had taken effect, and there was no way the dust could get through the barrier - when the icy breeze blew. , the gray-white ashes floated from their bodies, making the golden armor shine again.

"How many demons have you killed?" Victor von Doom asked. "What's going on with Dormammu?"

"Nothing, Victor." The Emperor shook his head. Although he had not slept all night, He did not show any fatigue, as if this was just a day of working on official documents overnight as usual, rather than a soul entering the etheric plane to start a mass murderous war. "I'd like to know the progress of last night's work."

"Still not. Illegal psykers can't be traced so easily."

"Then the coronation ceremony must be held, and the relevant official documents must be sent to the Nine Realms again." The emperor finally left the position where he had stood all night, and the Imperial Guard followed closely behind him and entered the courtyard that once belonged to the Supreme Mage. Athena was also awake, but she chose to stay on the stone seat belonging to the Supreme Mage in the courtyard instead of standing outside the door. The holy sword was reinserted into the scabbard, and the dazzling spiritual light gradually disappeared, as if the emperor had turned into an ordinary person wearing casual clothes again. Athena just raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor who entered the courtyard, and then closed her eyes again and remained silent. Victor von Doom didn't understand what happened last night, so that Athena would suddenly lose all enthusiasm.

"Now help me organize the relics, Victor. There will be no funeral for the Supreme Mage. We have no time. We will invite guests to attend, but I don't think other countries except Asgard will send envoys here."

"As it stands, your coronation ceremony will be extremely crude."
