394. The Angel Returns
The Metal Ancestral Dragons competed with wizards summoned by the Ministry of Magic for anti-magic materials in the Contaminated Realm, and the scorching battle lasted for more than two months, with no final ending.
The army of more than 10,000 wizards was enough to drag the Metal Progenitor Dragon, the Metal Wizards, the Necromantic Cult, and the Death Steel Legion into the quagmire of fierce warfare.
What's more, the wizard army also has the Unas Ring as a base camp behind it, providing a steady stream of supplies and reserves.
As long as the Unas ring is not chaotic, it is impossible for the wizard army to lose on the front line.
The Metal Ancestral Dragon had hoped that the Pure Light Court would disrupt order within the Unas Ring in the name of pursuing wanted criminals.
Now, its wishful thinking has fallen through the cracks and has been planted on a Pure Light wizard named Jay Spader.
An in-depth investigation into the Pure Light Court lasted for a whole month, and there was still no end in sight.
This completely cut off the metal progenitor's desire to see the Unas Ring in chaos.
Li Nuo, as the initiator, didn't actually think too much, he just didn't want Selena to be targeted by the Pure Light Court.
Now that the momentum of the Metal Ancestral Dragon is waning, and the Ministry of Magic's core representing the "wizard" plane has the upper hand, Li Nuo has slightly reduced the speed of some of the assembly lines for building mechanical spirits, and shifted the materials and energy to building ritual circles.
A month after Jay Spader's arrest, a ritual circle in its full form appeared in Lenovo's sub-plane.
Compared to the previous rituals performed on the sampan, this ceremony occupies more than 2,000 square meters, and the entire ritual circle is extremely complex, covered with intricate non-metallic magic chains, and the overall height is more than 30 meters.
After all, it is a ritual used to welcome the assassination of angels, and the forced standard will definitely not be low, and the floor area and complexity will naturally increase.
Li Nuo stepped into the circle and walked towards the center of the circle. Noreen is outside manipulating the energy pipeline, ready to recharge the circle. Dinas holds the snowwing cat and pulls Nicole, watching the ceremony from a distance.
Speaking of Nicole.
This little girl currently only spends her evenings in the second plane, and the rest of the time she spends her time studying in the wizarding academy in the capital of Unas Ring.
Li Nuo secretly arranged for her to enroll, changed her name, obtained legal status, and studied in a wizarding initiation academy under the name of Hotams.
Hearing that Li Nuo was going to pick up a big sister from the Angel Enterprise Consortium to come to this plane today, Nicole asked for leave and couldn't wait to visit the site, wanting to see the true face of the big sister.
Aha, but she's doomed to disappointment.
The Assassination Angel had no real face, and his form was a purple mist with a humanoid outline.
And the word "big sister" also has to be put with a question mark, the assassination of angels does not have to be female.
Leno didn't bother to correct Nicole's preconceived notions.
He followed the steps explained by the assassination angel, and activated the magic chain in the circle step by step.
When the circle was filled with all kinds of energy light from the inside out, Li Nuo stood in the center of the circle and looked up.
The sky of this plane is made by the Dusk Giant, and it looks like the blue sky and white clouds are quiet.
But at this time, a circular black gap appeared in the blue sky, and with the surge of the magic circle energy, it quickly occupied a small half of the field of vision.
People outside the circle could not see this somewhat frightening black round hole, but they could still feel the restless energy in the air.
Li Nuo stared at the black hole, his eyes were impartial, and he locked on to the star in the center of the black hole.
"Meow~"
The cry of the snowwing cat rang in his ears, and then Dinas's voice:
"Lee, Professor Erica said that the Mausoleum of the Stars has detected that someone has started a ritual of communicating with the alien sky in the sub-plane. A gap in the alien sky appears in the star filter. β
"Well, I know, it's okay." Li Nuo responded calmly.
Communicating with the alien sky in the secondary plane is generally not discovered, and it is the existence of a gap in the outer sky that causes the situation in the secondary plane to be detected by the Mausoleum of the Stars.
It's not a big deal.
Anyway, Li Nuo's sub-plane also belongs to the black household, so it doesn't matter how dark it is.
Noreen sent an alert:
"Sir, there are some letters in the labyrinth space that are signed for the tombs of the witches. The tomb keeper of the Tomb of the Witches warns us that if we don't stop the ritual immediately, we will send a magic golem into the second plane. β
"Oh, ignore them." Li Nuo said calmly:
"Lock up as many as you come, anyway, there are idle rune cages in the labyrinth space."
"Yes, sir."
The black hole in the sky occupied almost the entire field of vision of Li Nuo, and the star in the center became clearer.
When the black hole stops expanding, the image of the star begins to zoom in.
Li Nuo faintly saw the clouds, the sea, and the land on the stars.
Five minutes later, the image of the star was lowered to a width of more than ten centimeters, and more details came into view, which were various space stations around the periphery of the star's suspended celestial body, which were extremely large and the visual image was the size of a grain of rice.
"Let me think about it, what do you say about assassinating angels..."Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Those space stations are the work of the Angel Business Complex, and the stars with their oceans and clouds are a vast testing ground.
The mastermind controller that imprisons the assassination angels, the cultivation tank for the artificial angels, and many high-tech facilities to assist in the creation of angels are all placed on the space station.
How to identify the purpose of the space station is the most important point.
The Assassination Angel once said:
The space station of the Angel Enterprise Consortium has a semi-stationary design.
Different space stations have different appearances and can be connected together like building blocks to meet the needs of daily work.
The space station for cultivating animals and plants is hemispherical, the space station for the production of nutrient solution and other liquids is cylindrical perpendicular to the ground of the stars, and the space station responsible for providing wireless computing power and power for the entire space station group is in the shape of a disk...
Looking at the space stations one by one, Li Nuo finally found his goal, which was a space station with eight faces, similar to crystals, hidden behind many space stations, relatively close to the stars and ground.
Li Nuo said to Noreen outside the circle in his heart:
"I count down tens of seconds. At the end of the countdown, you adjust the energy valve to the maximum. β
"Yes, sir."
β10οΌ9οΌ8οΌ7β¦ 3, 2, 1, adjust the energy valve! β
With Li Nuo's order, hundreds of millions of energies poured into the magic circle.
Li Nuo concentrated his mind and directed his energy to rush towards the space station.
This wave of energy is similar to the EMP in Ground Warfare, disrupting the flow of energy on the target space station, causing the masterbrain controller that seals the Assassination Angel to be paralyzed for a very short time.
Even a paralyzed state of only 0.1 seconds is enough for an existence like the Assassination Angel to find a way to break through the blockade and enter the inner and outer starry sky pipelines provided by the ritual circle.
Almost at the same time that the energy wave was launched, a muffled thunderbolt exploded in this plane, startling everyone.
Before everyone could figure out the situation, the huge ritual circle began to shake violently, and the lines of magic were disturbed by the invisible force, colliding with each other non-stop.
"Keep ramping up your energy input, Noreen!" Li Nuo knew that the Assassination Angel was trying to enter the inner starry sky, and the other party must have enough strength to respond in the inner starry sky in order to successfully drill through the star filter.
Noreen turns the energy valve and adjusts the energy input power from 100% to 150% of the overload.
The ritual circle erupted with the most intense energy light ever recorded, like a small sun falling to the ground, reflecting the artificial sun in the sky.
The invisible coercion fell from the sky like a rain curtain, and Li Nuo, who was in the center of the ceremony, felt it most truly, ancient, vicissitudes, and vast, making people can't help but take a deep breath and beat their hearts faster.
Looking up at the sky now, Norin and the others, who were outside the magic circle, were surprised to find that the blue sky was replaced by a vast and boundless sea of purple mist.
The sea of purple mist was choppy, and the waves were stacked one after another, rapidly shrinking inward.
After another muffled sound, the sea of purple mist shrank from the scene that covered the sky and the sun into a purple figure of the same size as a normal human, slowly descending from the sky and falling towards the ritual circle.
Li Nuo looked at the purple figure that was getting closer and closer, rubbed his fingers, and activated the "Veil of the Otherworld (Imitation)" that he had prepared earlier, and shrouded his body with this mysterious side spell involving the concept of space-time transportation.
After the purple figure saw the "Veil of Separation from the World" on Li Nuo's body, his figure paused slightly, and shot out a light full of scrutiny, scanning Li Nuo several times from top to bottom.
"Welcome, Your Excellency. We meet again. β
Li Nuo bowed slightly to the figure that fell to the ground, and his tone was calm and sincere, as if he was facing an old friend and senior who had been with him for a long time.
The purple figure raised his right arm and pointed his palm at Li Nuo.
The "Veil of Otherworldliness" covering the surface of Li Nuo's body was pulled by the mysterious force, and it was lifted by the purple figure like a cloak and fell into the hands of the purple figure.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the "Veil of Separation from the World" cast by himself could be manipulated by the other party.
It seems that the assassination angel's attainments in the "veil of the world" are far beyond his imagination.
Li Nuo was thinking like this, but he heard the purple figure whisper:
"Leno Jarvis..."
Li Nuo nodded, "It's down." β
The purple figure let go of his palm, and the "Veil of Otherworlds" flew back to Li Nuo.
He said,
"See you again. What is the situation now? β
The tone of the assassination angel became very similar to what he had been before he left the inner starry sky, which made Li Nuo feel a little close.
However, Li Nuo is still a little unsure:
"Your Excellency, how much do you remember about our travels in the inner starry sky?"
The purple figure said:
"All. I already know everything I want to know from your "veil of separation". β
Li Nuo thought about it, didn't dwell on this issue too much, and instead said:
"This is the way it is now. Two months ago, the "Dead Steel" appeared in the Cadiz area. After I entered the "Dead Steel Forest", I stole Tulsali's anti-magic materials as soon as possible. β
Li Nuo snapped his fingers, used his authority as the master of the secondary plane, and shuttled to the warehouse where anti-magic materials were stored with the assassination angel.
Nearly 100,000 tons of anti-demon metal ingots are hoarded here, and taking out one or two tons at will is enough to attract the scramble and tracking of metal wizards.
Li Nuo had an appointment with the assassination angel in advance, and he would not take these anti-demon metal ingots outside to make quick money without permission, and at this time, he invited the assassination angel to come to check, and he was frank and unworried.
The Assassination Angel didn't look much at the situation of the anti-magic metal ingot, but just asked:
"Has Tulsali spotted your tracks? Does it still think that the Shadow Executioner stole its stuff? β
Li Nuo shook his head slightly:
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Even though I was careful enough, I inevitably left some clues. It's about fighting in the polluted realm..."
Li Nuo simply told him about rescuing the three Merst with non-metallic shells.
It's not all bad.
It's true.
It had a wonderful effect that Li Nuo hadn't expected.
Didn't Li Nuo accidentally leave the scraps of non-metallic shells at the scene?
Li Nuo had previously thought that the Metal Ancestral Dragon could use these fragments to find out on his head.
But the truth is completely different from what Li Nuo thought!
As we all know, the Pillar of the Leylines is a wizarding force that specializes in rock and earth magic, and its main magic materials are non-metallic rocks and clods.
After verifying the leyline wizards of Merster and others, the metal progenitor dragon attributed the source and user of the non-metallic cannonball to the leyline pillar!
The old dragon, whose brain had not yet turned, had always believed that it was the super-saint wizard behind the leyline pillars, and rescued the three MΓΌsters and assisted them in taking away the anti-magic materials they had stolen from him.
This matter is not Li Nuo's nonsense, it comes from the newspaper headline of the Unas Ring, and it was said by the Pillar of the Leylines himself in the newspaper.
But no matter how the Pillar of the Leylines declares that he didn't take the anti-magic materials, people who read the newspaper won't believe it, and even think that this is the Pillar of the Leylines changing to advertise freely, hoping that others will secretly contact him to buy anti-magic materials...
When Li Nuo read the news, he smiled a little embarrassedly.
I really didn't expect that after saving Merster, it would be self-defeating and draw Tulsali's attention to the leyline pillar.
Let's first suffer the pillar of the leyline.
Before he assembles an army of tens of millions of non-metallic mechanical spirits, he must not let Tulsali be aware of his existence.
The implication angel was stunned for a while after listening to the causes and consequences of Li Nuo's statement, and finally held back a few words:
"Well, good results. Although there are some flaws, it is generally excellent. β
Leno told the other things again, and the assassination angel listened patiently.
After about half an hour, the Assassination Angel had a very clear understanding of the current situation.
He pondered for a moment and said,
"I'm going to take a trip to the Spin Continent."
"To the Spin Continent?" Li Nuo was a little puzzled:
"What are you going to do there? Is it to meet the White Ancestral Dragon and discuss a joint deal with Thalsali? β
"Yes, there is a plan for that." Assassination Angel Says:
"But there's another thing waiting for me to do. I need to figure out what happened in the inner starry sky, what caused such chaos, and where the star god went. I think the white Ancestral Dragons in the Spin Continent should give me some answers. The last time I entered the inner starry sky, I wasn't strong enough to face the existence of the Spin Continent. This time, I could. (End of chapter)
