Chapter 2149: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (81)
"Boom, boom?!" Unable to believe his ears, Palamides didn't even think that he was communicating with Vivien with telepathy, and read it out with his mouth.
"Ahem...... En de le soli oyr ... Then he immediately continued to recite the incantations with the other Twilight cultists as if nothing had happened, as if what he had just said was just a slip of his tongue. It's a bit clumsy, but it's a cover-up.
In fact, the surrounding Twilight cultists didn't notice Palamides' abnormality at all, and the group of cultists were still busy preparing for the ritual, where did they have time to take care of a cultist who had recited the wrong incantation.
"That's right, it's an explosion, you calm down and pretend to be okay and listen to me. Vivien continued, "You're going to follow that group in circles like this now, and keep moving out to see. If the movement is not too big, it should not be noticed. "
"But what about King Arthur?" said Palamides, who had been talking to Vivien in another voice.
"I tried to get in touch with them, Arthur has Merlin on his side, and they can think of a way to protect themselves. Vivien said, "But first I have to prepare a powerful protective spell that will protect both of us." "
"If that thing explodes...... Palamides couldn't help but glance at the fake exploration ship. He remembered Vivien saying that the ship was buried*, and that if it exploded*, the entire undersea base would be razed to the ground. Palamides didn't understand the actual power of *, and Vivien may have misestimated the size of the base. But in any case, with that kind of powerful * exploding at such close range, it was not easy for Palamides to protect themselves.
What the hell are those cult lunatics thinking? Do they want to blow themselves up and die together in this ritual?
No, it's not that simple. Maybe this group of Twilight cultists already knew about Palamides' infiltration this time, and they also knew that this fake exploration ship was hidden*, so they wanted to kill Palamides and them by detonating this*?!
It's useless to guess this now, it's more practical to find a way to get out first. Palamides tried to calm down. As the ritual progressed, the fake exploration ship equipped with high energy* was getting closer and closer to the tipping point of its explosion, and a big explosion could happen at any moment, burying everything around it in light and heat. Thankfully, the so-called ritual was just a group of cultists walking around the ship chanting incantations and walking in circles, and Palamides disguised himself as a member of the group of twilight cultists, but as he walked, he drifted off the center and went around the outermost circle of the crowd.
He knew that it wouldn't be of much use to close the distance like this, and that an explosion would still involve him, after all, it was not an ordinary small-scale explosion. But he was also sure that Vivien should have found him in the crowd. His wife didn't know where she was hiding at the moment to prepare her protective spell, he only hoped that the protective spell Vivien had prepared was really strong enough to withstand that level of explosion.
And...... Wouldn't it be terrible if they were just stockpiling from the explosion and buried alive by the rubble that collapsed the base?
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!" The ceremony seemed to be almost underway, and the cardinal suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Coming, coming!------, coming
It was a madman's repetitive shout, which couldn't have been more in line with the nature of their cultists.
The stolen fake exploration ship began to glow. If it weren't for the fact that so much light was seeping through its cracks, Palamides wouldn't even know that the hull of the original ship had been cracked in so many places------ the black, oily husk didn't look like it was cracked at all, but a strange shine made it disgustingly ugly.
Just like the violet light that seeped out of the floor, the same violet-blue light seeped out of the cracks in the hull, and the light was very uniform. The light grew brighter and more dangerous, and the ship's cracks continued, adding cracks where there were no cracks, just as cracks would grow and multiply! And Palamides also clearly felt that the size of the fake explorer had doubled!
Is that thing really going to explode? Why are the people around him so calm? Even the mad cardinal standing on top of that huge* didn't flinch or hesitate for more than half a minute because of the change in the ship. That's madness...... No, the eyes of the enlightened. These people have come to their senses from the beginning and want to die?!
"The charity of the enemy, the sacrifice of the believer. Millions of equivalents, thousands of liters of blood. "All of this is a condition for the Dawn Watcher to come. Come, O Leader of the Gods, our Creator, and lead us once more towards Annihilation!"
After the long sentence that seemed to be a mantra was read, the boat under the cardinal's feet swelled to an alarming point. Purple-blue light poured out of it frantically, and it exploded!
"Palami, stand still and don't move!" Vivien said with a telepathic technique, the situation was urgent, and she didn't even have time to explain anything more to the leopard warriors!
As soon as the big cat stopped, a golden light passed by him. At the same time, that purple-blue light also spread to a distance of less than ten yards in front of him, swallowing everything there! Palamides could clearly see that the Dusk Cultists who were still walking around the ship were wiped out the moment they were touched by the purple-blue light, even if it was just touching a corner of their clothes! It was no longer an ordinary explosion, it felt like some kind of high-energy space, and the moment it touched other substances, it would all disassemble those substances and tear them into that space!
The light of the explosion spread extremely fast, and in an instant, it had reached Palamides. Vivien told the big cat to stand still, but out of fear, Palamides almost wanted to turn and flee. However, as a good fighter, his sanity still overcame his fear, and he knew that the explosion would come so fast that even with his feet would not be able to run away, so it was better to trust his wife and just stand and not move. Maybe Vivien really has a way to stop this horrific explosion?
No, he could only trust Vivien. He couldn't escape anyway. Even if you believe your wife's words and end up being implicated in the explosion and die, it's better than not believing your wife's words and running away and dying with regret!
Sou------
The purple-blue light that was about to devour Palamides was blocked by some invisible force field. Palamides swallowed a mouthful of saliva and realized that Vivien was actually standing behind him. A golden light swept by just now, and it should have been the succubus positioning according to the position of Palamides, and laying some kind of defensive enchantment while rushing over.
"What's going to happen next?" asked Palamides, looking at everything around him, uneasy. Except for the small area where the two of them were standing, everything around them had been swallowed up by that ominous purple-blue light.
"Anti-...... The shield can last for about one hundred and eighty seconds," Vivien was using all her magic power to maintain the shield, and it seemed that she was struggling to do so, and she spoke with a low voice: "I can only hope that the explosion will be over before the effect of this shield has passed." "
"Then what the hell are you worried about, there is no explosion in this world that lasts for more than three minutes...... Palamides asked uneasily, "Uh...... It shouldn't be possible, right?"
Vivien didn't answer, the one hidden in the fake exploration ship was her work, and it was probably a work that cost no expense. That thing was originally designed to completely destroy the base of the Dusk Cultists, but what kind of method was used to achieve "total destruction" is another matter.
"[Dimensional Splinter Bomb]. Vivien sighed under a low voice, "It has the advantage of being small in size, and it doesn't have the mirror structure that is common *without* and neither photons*, so it's almost impossible for the enemy to spot." Once detonated, the initial result is not a blast, but a subspace turbulence. This anomalous subspace will involve everything around it, decomposing it, and using the energy obtained from the decomposition of matter as a detonation on a larger scale. "
"Oh my God. What the hell you've developed. Palamides complained.
"We were completely put on the ground by the enemy. I thought they were attacking my institute to get the real [Explorer]. Unexpectedly, this group of lunatics was fighting the idea of [Dimensional Splinter Bomb] from the beginning, and stole it. I thought I could use this * body to annihilate this group of cultists, but I didn't expect that the stupidest thing would be me, and I happily gave the [Dimensional Splinter Bomb] to the enemy to help them complete their ritual. "
"Tsk. The leopard warrior snorted and didn't answer.
"What kind of ritual is that?" he asked.
"God knows. Vivien was a little angry, "But it is not difficult to imagine what it will summon to use so many people for a ritual to perform blood sacrifices, and it also needs such a huge amount of energy as the [Dimensional Splitting Bomb]------
Whoosh------! while the two were talking, the purple-blue light that had already enveloped everything in it suddenly disappeared!
No, it's not gone, it's [sucked up]! The subspace turbulence that was supposed to be swallowed up by everything in the base as it expanded from the center of the explosion was sucked clean before it could be transformed into a huge explosion!
Even the original floor has only been eroded, and the ceiling and the distant wall are almost intact. Whether it was the counterfeit Explorer or the hundreds of lives that had just been there, they all disappeared without a trace, swallowed up by the turbulence of subspace and transformed into pure energy!
"Be careful! it's coming!" Vivien exclaimed.
------That's right, [it's] coming.
Still in the middle of this huge hall, in an area illuminated by the purple light that shone through the cracked floor, something was slowly pouring out of a black, skull-sized sphere!
