NOVPUB"Even the elemental crystals also lost their magical power, huh.... The world will fall into a world without magic, but that’s not the end of humanity. Our technology doesn’t just rely on elemental crystals as our only power source." The Human Emperor stated it with a cold expression.
"My Majesty, what if it was the God who came to punish humanity?" One of the advisors asked, full of worry.
"The God died long ago. With the destruction of the witches, humanity is the God. We’re the rulers of this world. She is deactivating the world’s magical dragon veins. We have super-class anti-magic weaponry and machines. Not even the God of Magic can survive our bombardment."
The Human Emperor stood up before his generals. "Relay my order! Send the Doomsday Army and destroy the remaining witches. Don’t leave a single one behind, including this mysterious SSS Rank witch!"
"Yes!" The generals saluted and then left the room immediately.
The world’s most powerful troops would be dispatched for the second time a few days after the operation to capture the 1st generation witches.
The elite of the elites with the most advanced weapons of destruction, the force capable of killing one of the 1st generation witches on the battlefield and capturing many powerful witches, was dispatched to the location where all the magic energy in the entire world gathered.
At the same time, the Human Emperor broadcasted his declaration to all mankind to calm the panic and commotion with reassurance... that God had long been dead and the witches would be eradicated that very day.

"The God abandoned this world long ago and left the witches to limit us. Now is the time for us to take over this world from the long-dead God!"
Elysia frowned when she heard that bold statement with her divine ability.
She and her Goddess sisters would take another two hours before this world would be cleansed of magic. However, humanity sent dangerous troops to attack her group with weapons of mass destruction.
"Our location is so far from the Imperial Capital City. They are expected to arrive in an hour or so. Their reinforcements will arrive in two hours to ensure we are completely destroyed." Rhea grasped Elysia’s hand tighter.
"It’s okay. I know what’s happening around us, and the world’s core is watching us." Elysia closed her eyes again.
"It’s still so astonishing because this world still tolerates arrogant humans for so long without giving any tribulation. If it was Gaia, she would have sent a plague or natural disaster so those humans could realize they are not rulers, but only residents." Elena rolled her eyes and nudged Fortuna several times.
"..." Fortuna furrowed her eyebrows, but she silently agreed with that.
"This world will probably do something similar when humans go too far with nature. After magic no longer exists in this world, of course. This world is also subject to restrictions from the mentioned Creator God. With the absence of magic, it will be free from restrictions." Lifa waved her hand, not worried about what would happen to this world’s humanity because she knew the world’s core had planned many things for them.

About an hour later, the remaining witches and wizards fell from the sky. They found a grand dome magic formation waiting for them below.
After falling from the waterfall, they stabilized and landed perfectly in the air.
"Welcome, everyone." Alicia greeted her fellow witches.
"Lady Alicia, you are still alive! Also, everyone... you have all been killed by those humans, but how? Does revival magic really exist?" One of the witches approached with great joy.
"It’s possible because our Creator God has returned to answer our prayers. He, I mean she revived us." Alicia answered while looking at the magical dome.
"Our Creator God!?"
"Shh, lower your voice. Our God is removing magic from this world. We will be taken away to another world, the better world."
"Then, what about those humans? We need to punish them because our God is already here."
"She has a different arrangement. The humanity will be abandoned and left to their devices."
"Then, what about our dead sisters and comrades, Lady Alicia!? One of the seven 1st generation witches, Lady Ruri, was already reduced to dust that day. Why don’t we just wipe out humanity!? With our God here. That’s for sure!"
"Sshhh... Our God shall send our long-dead comrades to the afterlife for their peaceful rest. They will pass through samsara and shall be blessed with a new life. Our duty to guide and save humanity is over. We are freed from this world. In the other world where our God will take us is a beautiful world where miracles reside."
Alicia answered all the complaints and anxieties from every witch’s heart. She had reassured the senior ones, but the newly arrived ones were still covered in great resentment.
"..." One of the wizards fell silent, clenching his fists.
He lost his master several years ago. Humans killed her sadistically. It was still vivid, and he wished to eradicate humanity. When their long-awaited prayers were answered and their God returned, they had to let go of their grudge and forget it as if it never happened? Never!
"No one will stop you. You are free to take revenge on those who hurt you, but why do you hate humans despite being one?"
Elysia sent a voice transmission to the witches and wizards.
"!?" The witches and wizards suddenly fell silent. They knelt down reflexively, glancing at the magical dome, or more precisely at the Goddesses within it, with reverence.
"I will liberate the long-dead witches and send their souls to the afterlife soon. You can meet those who have died before you determine the future and destiny you want to take. Will you come with me to the higher plane or stay here as a human without magic? You can live freely in the new world or drown in revenge here. Regardless, humanity will receive their tribulation according to their sins by the world’s will sooner or later."
Elysia made an offer to the witches and wizards.
"..." The witches and wizards, who were still somewhat unconvinced, lowered their heads. Their God had spoken. The humans would be punished, and the long-dead witches would be freed.
They would meet their dead family, but why didn’t their God want to revive the long-dead witches? That question immediately crossed the minds of several people.
*Swoosh!*
Several fighter jets, bombers, and other aircraft quickly approached from the eastern sky.
Elysia looked up at the sky and muttered softly. "They arrived a little later than expected. Zera, please throw them into the sea. Also, secure their aircraft and anti-magic devices."
"Affirmative." Zera replied with a subtle smirk, then vanished into the void.
---
"FJ-01 here. We can see the grand magical dome. The witches are estimated to be around there."
"Central Command to the entire fleet. Bombard the target with all the bombs."
"TB-04 to Central Command. Does that include the Grand Mushroom advanced bombs?"
"We need to ensure the witches are dead."
"Affirmative. Bombard and ensure all witches are destroyed. Activate anti-magic force field now."
"Roger. Bomb Carriers, get into formation."
The pilots communicated as they approached the danger zone where the witches and the mysterious God-tier witch were.
They were ready to wipe this region off the map to ensure no witches survived. Yet, several planes suddenly stopped responding to communication protocols.
"FJ-01 to all Super Bomb Carriers?"
"..."
"We lost contact with them. The aircraft we were escorting disappeared into thin air! *Bzt, bzt bzzt*"
"!!!"
The other pilots were shocked when they realized the planes behind them were disappearing one by one into the thin air.
They tried to maneuver to avoid the invisible ambush, but their surroundings soon became super dark with no light whatsoever. Only the lights in their cockpits were on.
The panicked pilots fired several missiles and bombs, but there were no explosions. Everything was so quiet, and it slowly filled them with fear. However, the scene suddenly changed, and they were thrown high from the sky, falling freely into the vast blue ocean.
"Aaaaa!!!"
Hundreds of elite soldiers fell helplessly and screamed loudly. They didn’t have parachutes or equipment, just their bodies and clothes.
"Pretty decent gifts. I send back my gratitude to you." Zera emerged from the void. She released dozens of large missiles and bombs into the distant sky.
She then vanished from there, back to Elysia’s side.
---
Everyone fell silent in a command room in a particular military base because they lost contact with all the planes. They disappeared in just a matter of seconds.
All the recordings from each plane could not provide any valuable clues as the planes were swallowed by darkness, and signals were lost.
"No witch is capable of such a thing. What actually happened?" The commander frowned.
"Sir, thirty-four foreign projectiles are shooting three times the speed of sound towards us. They will arrive in twenty seconds. We are not fighting the witches but the God. We will be punished for hunting down the God’s apostles." One of the soldiers took off his headset in despair, then clasped his hands in prayer. It was the first time in his life he prayed to God.
"Is that so? They sent back a quarter of our missiles and bombs?" The commander sighed. They had no chance to do anything or run away.
He pressed the emergency button and activated the military base’s force field, hoping the lucky one could survive the super blast.
He then saluted, staring at the rapidly approaching projectile from the satellite footage. "All hail Human Emperor and humanity!"
*Boom!*
Several missiles and bombs blew up the mountain and the military base, destroying anything to dust in a super powerful explosion. Smoke, dust, and fire rose into the sky, forming a giant mushroom.
The other missiles and bombs continued to shoot away. They landed in the surrounding places, giving rise to several giant mushrooms. The super blast wave, intense light, heat, and radiation began to spread, creating a vast, dangerous death zone.
