Overlooking the bustling Upper City of Exile, Li Nuo aimed at the "Half-Body Demon Shadow with Two Blades", "Shadow Fireball with a diameter of at least 300 meters", "Shadow Hydra" and the magical barrier protecting the top floor of the Upper City, and launched the Deconstruction Technique.
The half-body demon shadow suspended in the air and wielding a huge twin swords towards the upper city was summoned with the Holy Throne-level "Summoning Magic".
Its summoner was Soler, the lord of the Exiled City.
The "Shadow Fireball" and "Shadow Hydra" are controlled by the two vice-lords of Exiled City.
These three things are a mess, and the latter two besiege the half-body demon, and the half-body demon shadow is one against two, and it does not fall behind at all.
Downtown was initially smashed by falling rocks and houses on the streets, but as the battle intensified, the battle between the three sides soon spread from the air to the ground.
The cauldron of the lower city was shattered by the tyrannical shadow energy, and the buildings and walls of the city collapsed one after another.
The city lord named Soler didn't know what was going on, and he didn't care about the life or death of the lower city.
No matter where the shadow hydra swam, the half-body shadow could be slashed.
Between the strokes of the hand, shadow energy burst out from the edge of the knife, and the twin knives easily split through the house that was used as cover by the shadow hydra.
The deputy city lord who controlled the Shadow Fireball held the opportunity for the Half-Body Demon to be attracted by the Shadow Hydra, and launched a series of Shadow Meteors towards the Half-Shadow Shadow.
"Boom, boom—"
"Beep-beep-"
Explosions roared, the ground shook, and there was a scratching cosmic noise.
Li Nuo only used the "Spiritual Vision" to observe from a distance, and he felt the anxiety of the battle situation, and it was hard to imagine how fierce the energy surge in the exiled city would be.
"Interesting. The city lord and the two deputy city lords made a commotion. ”
Li Nuo rubbed his chin, stared at the magical vision and fell into thought:
"The three of them fought so fiercely that most of the city was destroyed, except for the topmost building in the upper city. The thing called the Dark Dead Juggernaut Barrier protects the top layer, and that place is the source of the cosmic noise..."
Li Nuo touched his brain and clicked on the spell panel of the "Dark Death Juggernaut Barrier".
Name: Dark Dominator Barrier
Genre: Shadow Magic Barrier, Wild Magic
[Level] is predicted to be level 115
【Effect】
Protects the target, immunity to all debuffs below level 115, and negates damage taken with Shadow Energy at a ratio of 1:1150.
[Note 1]
This magical barrier was erected by a shadow wizard with the strength of the super-saint position.
Until its energy source is destroyed or depleted, it will remain there forever until it is shut down from within.
[Note 2]
This magical barrier is summoned by the magic of the Shadow Night.
When the Shadow Energy supply is increased, it negates damage at a higher rate and is immune to higher levels of debuffs.
【Weaknesses】
(omitted for the time being)
…
Wild magic!
Shadow Wild Magic!
And it's a barrier-type spell that specializes in protection!
Li Nuo's breath stagnated.
It was the first time he had seen wild magic at work.
It's no wonder that the magic barrier can withstand the aftermath of the battle of the three Holy Rank Battle Wizards, and it is extraordinary in itself.
"Beep-beep-bee
The noise in his ears suddenly became loud, and Li Nuo came back to his senses.
"It's not a good time to think deeply. Cosmic noise is often caused by rituals to communicate with the alien sky. And the ritual of communicating with the alien sky will most likely lead to the pollution of the realm. So, I had to move to a place where I couldn't hear the cosmic noise. ”
Li Nuo temporarily suppressed the idea of exploring the cause of the civil war of the city lord.
Wherever cosmic noise can be heard, it is within the confines of the polluted realm.
Li Nuo did not know the origin of the imminent contamination area.
He can only concentrate on stability and implement the strategic shift as soon as possible.
Leno closed his magical vision of Exiled City.
He activated the "tracking markers" placed all over the stalagmite woodland, and threw out the "Psychic Vision" one by one.
It's a bit bad.
To the east of his current prescription position, about 40 kilometers away, there was a "tracking marker".
The mark is 70 kilometers from the city of exile.
Even from such a distance, Li Nuo still heard cosmic noise from there.
Thankfully, the cosmic noise heard by the marker was very slight.
It is estimated that if you go more than ten kilometers to the east, you will be able to completely avoid the cosmic noise.
Li Nuo ended his "Psychic Vision" and said to Noreen with "Telepathy":
"Command the mechs to take away the key materials of the magic barrier, and then recall all the mechs, and we're going to get out of here."
"Yes, sir." Noreen immediately carried out Li'Not's order.
The mechanical spirits crouching outside the temporary base took action and rushed towards the magic array that had built a magic barrier.
Li Nuo transmitted the knowledge of the magic array to Nolin, instructed the other party to close the magic array, and detain the magic materials and shadow gems on the magic array.
While the two were engaged in a nervous retreat, they chatted about "cosmic noise".
While deconstructing the storage cells on the "Synth DKP-15", Li Nuo gained knowledge related to "cosmic noise".
Within the Metal Creation Group, "cosmic noise" is recognized as a "cosmic microwave background radiation".
The term "cosmic microwave background radiation" is often associated with "ancient".
The Metal Creation Group believes that the "cosmic microwave background radiation" was caused by the first Big Bang in the universe.
The "radiation" left over from that big bang still reverberates in the universe today.
If you "record" this "radiation" with the right instrument and convert it into audio, you can hear the cosmic sound of "beep-beep".
But the question is, what does cosmic noise have to do with "alien air pollution" and "pollution field"?
Why does the ritual of communicating with the alien sky broadcast cosmic noise?
On this issue, Li Nuo and Noreen discussed a speculation:
The ritual of communicating with the alien sky itself is not aimed at spreading cosmic noise.
However, cosmic noise is the equivalent of "unavoidable background sounds" in rituals.
As the ritual's controller increases the ritual's energy intensity and strengthens its connection with the alien sky, the cosmic noise as a "background sound" is inevitably strengthened.
Alien Sky Pollution In order to open up the realm of pollution in the inner starry sky, it must be at the peak of the energy intensity of the ritual.
As a result, the intensity of the cosmic noise rises in tandem with the energy intensity of the ritual.
It is difficult to verify the authenticity of this hypothesis.
Because there is no way to completely isolate cosmic noise.
It is like an invisible and insubstantial ghost, which exists in any device, creature, or object.
It's like a wizard like Li Nuo, who is theoretically surrounded by cosmic noises all the time.
It is only because the sound exists in the form of "microwave radiation" that cannot be directly heard that he will be undetectable in most cases.
Only when approaching such a thing as "the ritual of communicating with the alien sky" can normal people hear the cosmic noise.
After some academic discussion, Li Nuo and Noreen temporarily accepted this speculation.
The two of them sloppily packed up their mechanical and magical materials and began to leave the turbulent city of exile.
Leno had considered asking Dinas to come over and take him away.
But after a few minutes of deliberation, he rejected the idea.
Didn't Professor Erica say that?
In the past six months, no extraterrestrial sky pollution has been observed in the Qunwu Mausoleum.
Li Nuo was eager to see if the cosmic noise that appeared in Exile City this time could attract the Pollution Realm.
If given the opportunity, Li Nuo also wants to deconstruct the field of pollution, to figure out its origin and originators.
With this somewhat risky thought, Li Nuo withdrew from a distance of hundreds of kilometers in one go.
To the east of the city of exile is the stalagmite woodland.
Further east of the stalagmite glades are the Misty Swamps.
The Misty Swamp is the territory of the red-eyed elves.
Red-eyed goblins are evil flesh creatures that are generally no more than 1.5 meters tall, with a slender, low-hanging nose, a towering forehead, horns on their heads, and no clothes.
They are a gutt-eater and love to make taxidermy specimens of prey with decay inside.
They are very good at fermenting mushrooms, carrion, fat, and other things into hollowed-out prey objects.
The primitiveness and gore of the red-eyed goblins will be revealed when there is no prey.
They kill each other, using the bodies of their own kind as containers to make fermented products.
This ferocious habit caused a lingering smell of rot to appear in the poisonous fog of the Evil Fog Swamp.
Li Nuo is not afraid of red-eyed goblins.
He had Norlin mobilize 50 capacitive automatons to bombard ugly goblins with red eyes.
After nearly ten minutes of continuous bombardment, the red-eyed goblins within 10 kilometers of the foothold were cleared.
Probably as Li Nuo built a new temporary base, the melee in the exiled city came to an end.
Li Nuo didn't look at the specific battle process carefully.
By the time he had taken the time to observe the Exiled City, the upper and lower cities were close to total destruction.
The Lord of Soler summoned another Twin Blade Shadow.
With his two demon shadows, he forcibly suppressed his two deputy city lords.
The two deputy city lords were taken out of the city by the Demon Shadow and chopped into pieces with two knives.
After the death of the deputy city lord, it was transformed into a shadow fragment and transferred to the hidden magic array that was pre-arranged outside the city.
They wanted to be reborn through the magic circle they had secretly planted, but they couldn't get what they wanted.
The Lord of Soler has set up some kind of large magic circle in the lower city.
After this magic circle is activated, all the shadow fragments in the city have nowhere to escape.
The shadow fragments of the two deputy city lords became turtles in the urn, and were sealed by the city lord of Soler with the Shadow Orb.
When Li Nuo activated the "Spiritual Vision", he happened to see the scene of the Lord of Soler City holding a magic orb and flying to the top of the upper city.
Without hesitation, Leno seized this fleeting opportunity and launched a deconstruction technique against the Lord of Sole.
Within 0.1 seconds of receiving the completion of the deconstruction, Leno turned off his magical vision, which did not alert the Lord of Soler.

【…】
A large section of system text refreshed in his mind, and Li Nuo put aside the information on the panel and directly clicked on the memory fragment of "Soler".
[Memory fragment 1: "The Process of Soler's Suppression of the Two Deputy City Lords", 100% completeness]
You don't need to watch this clip, Li Nuo already knows the result.
[Memory fragment 2: "Soler's Order to the Exiled City Alert Regiment during the Battle", 100% completeness]
Li Nuo clicked on it and looked at it briefly.
Soler's order is nothing more than going out of the city to capture the fugitive dark laborers and find the "Thunderbolt Wizard".
This was expected by Li Nuo.
[Memory fragment 3: "Soler in the Magic Hall, the process of socializing with the soul shaper", completeness 40%]
Well!
That's it!
Li Nuo's eyes lit up, and he clicked on "Memory Fragment 3" to check it.
"Spirit creatures cannot reproduce...
"In order to solve this problem, the Dark Dead Magic Nation has chosen to secretly cooperate with the Soul Shaping Society...
"The Soul Shaping Society suggests asking for help from the forces of the alien sky...
"At the suggestion of the Soul Shaping Society, the Dark Dead Magic Nation has begun to build the Exile City to prepare for the ritual of communicating with the forces of the alien sky."
Li Nuo's eyes flickered, and he figured out the general course of events.
But there is one place that Li Nuo doesn't quite understand.
Why did the Soul Shaping Society believe that the forces of the alien sky could help the magical realm of the Dark Dead and solve the problem of "spirit creatures cannot reproduce"?
What justification did the Soul Shaping Society use to convince the Magical Realm of the Dark Dead to perform the ritual?
Li Nuo sank his mind and carefully examined the rest of his memories.
10 minutes later, Li Nuo suddenly clapped his hands and suddenly realized!
So that's it!
Isn't the soul-shaping method of the Soul Shaping Society very similar to the "Soul Reager" who disappeared many years ago?
Yes, that's right, there's a very secret connection between the two.
It was through remote communication with the alien forces that the Soul Shaping Society obtained the inheritance of the "Soul Reager".
"Soul Extraction", "Soul Molding", "Soul Shaping Tattoo" and other soul shaping magics were all obtained by the Soul Shaping Society during the ceremony of communicating with the forces of the alien sky many years ago.
It is by relying on this period of power that the Soul Shaping Society has gained the trust of the Dark Dead Magic Realm.
This time, the ceremony organized in the upper part of the Exiled City points to the alien forces of the Soul Shaping Society to obtain knowledge of the Soul Snatching Magic.
But who exactly this alien sky force is, the city lord of Soler does not know.
The professor of the Soul Shaping Society, who was in charge of docking with him, did not reveal half of it to him.
"Interesting, interesting... An alien force who has mastered the knowledge of Soul Reaver magic has helped the Soul Sculpting Society obtain the inheritance of the "Soul Reager", and now it is going to help the Dark Dead magic nation solve the problem of reproduction...
"There's a price to be paid for acquiring magical knowledge, right?
"What price did the Soul Shaping Society pay to that alien force to obtain the knowledge of Soul Snatching magic?"
Li Nuo has a feeling that "the Dark Dead Magic Nation was deceived by the Soul Shaping Society into a thief ship"...
At this moment, three different voices sounded in Li Nuo's head.
"Jarvis! There is an alien sky gap in the sky above the Thousand Peaks! "This is Selena alerting Lenovo.
"Lee, beware of alien sky pollution! I've just received an urgent notification from Professor Lamp! She said that there was alien sky pollution in the Thousand Peaks Territory, and reminded all the reborn witches and contractors in the Thousand Peaks Territory to pay attention to their own safety! Do you need me to teleport over and bring you back? The protective magic circle of Prasbourg has been activated! ”
It was a heartfelt message from Dinas.
"Meow~"
The snow-winged cat barked in Li Nuo's ear, took the initiative to teleport over, and put down an urgent letter in his hand.
Li Nuo opened the envelope and saw that it was from Professor Erica.
Professor Erica said that the Mausoleum of the Stars had detected movements in the skies over the Thousand Peaks.
An alien gap is rapidly forming.
From the time of receiving the letter, at most another half an hour or so, the gap in the alien sky will be completely opened.
At that time, the mountains and hills with the center of the Thousand Peaks as the center, a radius of nearly 100 kilometers, will be covered by polluted areas.
Professor Erica specially told his silent enforcers that if they didn't have the strength of the seventh ring or above, they must not join in the fun.
A polluted area like this, with a radiation diameter of 200 kilometers, is likely to evolve into an extraordinary phenomenon at the national level.
This is no joke.
However, in this letter, Professor Erica also mentioned something that is not quite sure.
The Tomb of the Witches said that it had detected signs of the opening of the gap in the alien sky, but the wizard forces on the ground of the Thousand Peaks Territory had not found any abnormalities.
In all likelihood, this is a polluted area that falls underground, not on the surface.
When Li Nuo read this paragraph, he thought about it for a moment and wrote a reply.
He told Professor Erica about the Pollution Realm appearing in the Shadows, and asked him to keep it a secret for himself.
He treats Erica as his own, and this is how he tells the other party the truth.
At the same time, he didn't want others to know that he had been to the Dark Zone, so he asked the other party to keep it a secret.
Erica tasted what Lino meant from the letter.
After she wrote a reply reminding Li Nuo to pay attention to safety, she didn't ask more.
After communicating with Selena, Dinas, and Erica, Li Nuo immediately began to wait for the moment when the pollution field was opened.
The time was spent in Noreen mobilizing the Robot to patrol the perimeter.
One letter after another conveying the progress of the opening of the gap in the alien sky came to Li Nuo's hands.
After the Witch Tomb and the Wizard Forward Meeting, it was agreed not to reverse the opening of the breach.
They decided to let the gap open, to see if the polluted area could evolve into a national phenomenon, and then to discuss whether to clear the area and close the gap.
It's a way to get everything on par with the "extraordinary", and it embodies the wizard's desire to pursue "great and extraordinary power".
"Sir, the Reconnaissance Machine's Listening Array has heard a sound that is inaudible to the human ear."
Noreen said "telepathically":
"I'm sure it's not cosmic noise, it's just there."
"Oh?"
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.
He fumbled in his magic pocket, took out an alchemy prop inscribed with "Radio" and put it to his ear.
The "Radio" picked up the voice mentioned by Noreen, and the alchemy prop played it:
"Huh~~~~~ ha~~~~~~ huh~~~~~~"
It seems to be the wind.
Li Nuo frowned.
The sound is very similar to the movement of "blowing into the microphone", which is as noisy and noisy.
"Huh~~ha-huhu~~ha-"
The voice has changed.
It became noisy, like a lot of people shouting frantically in the middle of a cave.
Ethereal, reverberatory, wave after wave.
"Whew-hahahaha~~~Whew-ha~~~~"
The voice became frenzied, revealing a sense of madness, as if hundreds or thousands of people were drunk, running wildly through the tunnels, laughing wildly and shouting loudly.
Madness... Tunnel...
Li Nuo's eyes widened, bursting out with an unbelievable light!
"Boom..."
A dull sound of shaking came from the direction of Exile City.
The ground shook violently, and the thick fog of the Fog Swamp rolled like a raging sea.
At this moment, even without the help of alchemy props, Li Nuo could hear the crazy shouts.
"Huh~~Wowha-Huh-Haha-Hee-hee-hee-hee~~~Haha~~~"
"Sir, look to the west of us, the scene has changed drastically!"
Li Nuo looked at the sound, and his pupils contracted slowly.
An indescribably polluted area is rapidly replacing stalagmite woodlands to the west.
It looked like a very large ball of yarn, with various tubular gray lines coiled together.
As the body expands, the gray tubular thing expands and contracts into something similar to gray blood vessels, and dense sores appear on the surface.
The sores open and close as the gray blood vessels wistle, creating a chaotic sound that numbs the scalp.
Every sore is a source of sound.
Each time they opened, they emitted a loud and inexplicable noise.
Like a starry dot moving dense sores, weaving a vast and boundless sound wave, constantly invading Li Nuo's brain.
The gray blood vessels, which are extraordinarily thick, no less than 30 meters in diameter, are large enough to accommodate human entry and exit, much like a tubular passage entwined together.
The gray vessel's interior was gray, and its surface was oily and slippery, as if it were covered with mucus.
"System, launch harmless deconstruction!"
Li Nuo silently said in his heart.
After a brief trance, Li Nuo revealed a small part of the truth.
【System Information:】
[You consume 100 million energy points to launch harmless deconstruction.] 】

(The deconstruction is not complete enough, and you don't get more information.) )
…
"The hustle and bustle tunnel... It's really a hustle and bustle tunnel..."
Linuo's heart was pounding.
Of the five sub-planes he mentions about the Assassination Angel, the first is the sub-plane called "The Noise Tunnel". (End of chapter)
