Chapter 148: The Devils' Plans (Second Month)
Brooke's spiritual force field covered the entire study, manipulating the center of the magic array, commanding the tower spirit, and the presiding officer was holding the Alinge Mystery Lock, controlling the overall situation of the entire "Sky City", and it was difficult to devote too much attention to the archmage for a while, and he spoke through the study: "What is the abnormal situation?"
Will you be able to detect the anomaly of the "Sky Castle" if you control the Mystery Lock?
The archmage said in a hurried tone, "Several members of the Supreme Council should have returned, but they didn't!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the study in a panic, but Brooke was distracted and did not remove the defensive magic array, but asked directly, "Who are they?"
"Yes......" The archmage masked a word and suddenly lunged forward, his entire body blurred and twisted, as if a stream of light of different colors was entwined.
Ziziz, in the strange voice, this devilish phantom passed through the first layer of magic array, but it quickly returned to solidification, and was between the two layers of magic array.
Then, it kept shuttling through the magic circle, rushing towards Brooke in the center.
Whenever the effect of the magic array appears, it turns from real to virtual, and it seems to be in another world, permeating the space, and smoothly passing through the past, but its state does not seem to last, and it will soon collapse again, so it cannot directly penetrate the layers of magic array, and must rely on the accurate sensing of the operation of the magic array to find the gap between the "ebb and flow" of its own body.
Brooke then realized that this ancient devil "infected" was not an ordinary situation, but had been possessed by a powerful "ancient devil"-type person. Possessed with the help of a special seed that had been planted in his heart a long time ago.
He stared at the "Ancient Devil" with two electric flashes of lightning, trying to discern who the main body was.
The face of this "devil" is constantly changing, sometimes young, sometimes old, sometimes handsome, sometimes ugly, which is dazzling.
But Brooke recognized one of the faces and said with a slight shock, "Melmos?"
The only peak epic knight today!
"Melmos" laughed wildly: "Melmos is dead, and standing here is one of the incarnations of the true god Viken!"
Brooke sighed, as if he understood something: "You are the strongest I have ever seen. The faith is the most devout. The knight, who knows himself best, would never have imagined that you would choose the path of the ancient devil, and you would use a primitive method that does not have a container to share the emotional impact of the face. ”
Not every member of the Cardinal Order can find a legendary-level pseudo-god, demon king, etc. to use as their container, after all, there are only so many powerhouses at this level. So. Many people finally chose the "Thanos version" with very big hidden dangers. And Melmos, who is determined and consciously able to overcome negative emotions, is the first to complete it, and after it is completed. It really didn't have much impact, at least before the impact on the gods, I didn't see any hidden dangers.
It's a pity that after he was used and assimilated by Wiken this time, the negative emotions in his heart completely exploded.
Under Viken's manipulation, the "ancient devils" transformed by the twelve cardinals were possessed by different characters with the help of the "seeds of depravity" planted before, trying to stir up chaos and create more negative emotions for Viken to absorb.
Of course, this kind of "Fallen Seed" that can avoid the "Alinge Puzzle" or the Lentat Divine Array is extremely demanding, and the target must wholeheartedly let go of his body and mind, let the "devil" project into his body, and have more than a critical amount of negative emotions in the first place.
And even more difficult and hidden than this is another projection, that is, the projection of Viken controlling the legendary powerhouses such as Saints Mary and Philip. In this case, only by selecting some highly religious clergy, when "helping" them to break through to the legend and resonate with the "Heavenly Mountain", with the help of the cover of the gift of the "God of Truth", can the projection succeed quietly, and the target person is unaware of it, and it is not until the critical moment that the body and mind are mastered.
"This is my devotion to the Lord, and you unfaithful magicians will never understand. Melmoth's expression of hatred and anguish suddenly became serious, and then the sun slowly rose behind him, staining the sky red and illuminating the darkness, clear but not dazzling.
In this case, it can still use its own "Dawn" bloodline!
It seems that his understanding of the strength of the bloodline is beyond all the legendary powerhouses, and he has grasped a trace of the essence of it, no wonder he is the only peak knight today.
Brooke sighed lightly again, and ordered Taling Prospel to seal the top three floors, and the current erupted around his body, the magnetic field appeared, and the darkness distorted, as if the "electromagnetic kingdom" had descended.
He tried to drag "Melmoth" into his half-plane battle so as not to affect the other magicians of Aringerne.
However, "Melmos" is here to create chaos and more negative emotions, how can he give up this opportunity, although the body and soul of the archmage can only exert a short period of legendary peak strength, but it is enough to resist the powerful suction from the electromagnetic realm at the beginning.
"He's George, a student of Atlante, what about Atlante?" Brooke suddenly thought of this as they fought.
............
Lentat City, Nexus Palace.
A silver-gray sword light flashed, and a knight dressed in sturdy and exquisite full-body armor was stunned to see his body split in two, and his face still had the distorted expression of jealousy and hatred that he had before.
Bang bang, his two bodies were divided into countless pieces of flesh and bones by the illusory and hideous small gaps, and fell to the ground like raindrops
Seeing this scene, seeing the tall and tall back standing in front of her, seeing her long purple hair and silver-gray armor on her shawl, the nobles who hid in the Nexer Palace let out a long breath, and their bodies still trembled uncontrollably, it was terrible, it was terrible! A heavenly knight actually became a devil and killed many nobles, if it weren't for Her Majesty the Queen who arrived in time, I am afraid that he and others would have been tortured and killed by him!
Winston, another epic knight of the Kingdom of Holm, is guarding the territory of the alien dimension, so all their hopes are pinned on Her Majesty Queen Natasha.
"Rest assured. The Magic Council has a good study of the ancient devils, and there are not many powerful knights who have been projected, otherwise they can't hide it from us, and other low-level knights and ordinary people, the negative emotions can be so strong that the initial infection of the ancient devils must be rare, I have ordered the 'Sword of Truth' Knights and the Knights of the Cathar to start taking action, and with the cooperation of the police, eliminate the 'infected', and Rentath will soon return to stability. Natasha made her voice unusually calm.
She knew very well that the scale and damage caused by the "infected" were limited, and it would not take long for them to calm down, and it would be the god-like and legendary peak battle that was unfolding in the sky at this time that really decided everyone's fate.
Her Majesty's tone was unhurried. Calm and firm attitude. The tall and straight back calmed the trembling hearts of the nobles, and all kinds of negative emotions began to dissipate.
At this time, John escorted Joel, Elisa, Archduke Vaorit, and others out of the secret rooms of the palace. Behind his back was a thick-barreled spear with a silver-gray metallic sheen. It is covered with dense symbols of electricity and magnetism - this is the "Gauss rifle" that Lucien himself made for him. One shot is equal to a Celestial Knight's blow, and with John's current strength and equipment that is close to breaking through, he can barely use three shots.
"Go to the 'atomic universe'. Natasha said unabashedly in front of her father, Joel, and John in front of many nobles. Their safety is absolutely guaranteed there.
John nodded, and walked into the light-flowing portal on Natasha's left hand with a complicated expression, with Archduke Vaorit and the others with complicated expressions.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the nobles suddenly became vivid, filled with strong expectations and hopes, if they also entered the "atomic universe", wouldn't they be able to avoid the chaos outside, and avoid the attack that would come from somewhere.
"Your Majesty, will you be able to enter the atomic universe as well? Our stay here will only cause you chaos and distract you from protection. An earl took the lead.
"Yes, hide in the 'Atomic Universe' and be safe!"
"Your Majesty, we are all your loyal subjects, please protect us. ”
One by one, the nobles echoed excitedly, and for a while, it seemed that this idea was expected by everyone and the hearts of the "people" were desired.
Natasha turned sideways slightly, blocked in front of the "portal", looked around at the nobles, and said majestically: "You just hide here, you don't have to go to the 'atomic universe'." ”
"For what, Your Majesty, aren't we your people?"
"Your Majesty, will you break the contract between the king and the nobles, and no longer fulfill your duty to protect us?"
"You don't deserve to be a queen like this!"
Doubts and condemnations came from the mouths of the nobles, and the near-death situation just now made them accumulate too much fear, and after being rejected by Natasha, they exploded all at once.
"My father, Aunt Camille, Uncle Joel of Lucian, Aunt Elisa, and others have been under the protection of me and Lucian for a long time, and I can definitely believe that they have not been infected by the ancient devil and have not been possessed by projections, and you, I can't be sure, so, for the safety of the 'atomic universe'......" Natasha did not shout, but calmly and calmly seemed to order the dishes to be prepared tonight, "Whoever comes near the portal, die." ”
"Leave her alone, rush over and enter the 'Atomic Universe', she won't dare to kill us! unless she doesn't want to continue to be the queen!" shouted in the crowd, a nobleman shouted loudly, and immediately received an enthusiastic response, and the nobles who were frightened by the death scene just now crowded towards the "portal".
An indifferent and ruthless silver-gray sword light swept through, and the nobles at the front saw each other's upper bodies separated from their lower bodies, and blood sprayed the faces of the crowd behind them.
"She, she really dares to kill us......" One nobleman was stunned, froze in place, and no longer dared to move forward.
Natasha's silver-purple eyes were indifferent and emotionless: "I said that anyone who approaches the portal will die. ”
The sword of truth pointed diagonally at the ground, and the nobles suddenly subconsciously took a few steps back.
At this time, an old voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "When did you find me?"
The nobles were frightened and dodged away, revealing the old man hiding there at some point, his face constantly changing, from a familiar earl to an old man with vicissitudes of life, the only thing in common was that "they" all closed their eyes.
"Atlant, it's you ......" Natasha raised the sword of truth and laughed in a low voice, "The whole thing does have some loopholes, such as the nobles' emotions are too exaggerated, and the heavenly knights just now focused on torture and killing, so they got here, of course, this can be explained by negative emotions and the influence of ancient devils, but for me, it makes no difference, because, even if it is not driven by you, even if it is a normal event, I will kill anyone who dares to approach the portal." ”
"At this time, the safety of the 'atomic universe' must be guaranteed, after all, Lucian's resurrection methods are in the Tower of Babel, and I can't afford to be careless. ”
Suddenly, the portal lights up and John walks out.
"You?" asked Natasha, confused.
John said solemnly: "I am your knight, the captain of the 'Sword of Truth' Knights, and at this time, I will be with my teammates to protect the peace of Holm." ”
Natasha was silent for a moment and nodded, "Go ahead." ”
Atlante quietly watched John leave, watched the nobles escape from the palace, and said with a wry smile: "A real knight...... I also want to be like him, but I only learned today that after transforming into the ancient devil state, he will actually be controlled by Viken. ”
"Although you have the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Truth, my current strength is also a true Legendary Third Order, and you can't stop me from destroying all of Lucian's resurrection arrangements. ”
After Lucien left, the portal to the "atomic universe" in the Alinge Magic Tower was half-closed, and it could only be entered with the consent of the people inside, so this "gate" of the Palace of Nexer became the target of Atlant.
Natasha listened quietly, and suddenly her backhand was a sword.
The silver-gray light flickered, and the luster of the portal began to dim, and it collapsed with a thud.
Looking at Atlante's stunned and disbelieving expression, Natasha showed a happy smile, as beautiful as the rising sun:
"Now, I can't get in. (To be continued......)
