Chapter 493: Part 1

Chapter 495: Investigation: Part 1

“Argus! How dare you betray me!”

On the sea surging with Black Tide, the mist of the Black Tide had covered the entire blue sea. The air distorted all of a sudden. A group of white and red figures shot out from the distorted area of air, fighting as they flew in midair. Pale-blue rings of light broke out in the air as if beautiful fireworks at night.

“I’m not your subordinate from the very beginning, Barbabia!”

A man, draped in blue and black armor, was waving a halberd. He single-handedly warded off several opponents in the white camp, which released streaks of blue laser light that looked like some kind of magic.

“Since you say so, we have come to the road of no return. Let us finish it here once and for all!” the armored man said.

At first, he was still worried that the battle would cause turbulence in his world. But this world is strange to him. He did not have to scruple anymore. It was just about time to square it off.

“See?” He broke the weapon of one of them at the speed of lightning, smashing it into dust and light.

“This world is going to end, and the same is going to happen to our world,” he looked up at the gray sky and sighed.

“Shut up! Life and death never have a clear boundary. Destruction and revival have never existed in isolation. I might be a little hesitant in our homeworld. But since we are here, I’m going to kill you even if it means the destruction of this small world!”

Among the figures in white, a man with braided hair slowly put up his hand to motion the other to step back. All men in white stopped attacking and dispersed as if a group of well-trained soldiers.

While the fight was ongoing, the appearance of these men were not apparent. But when the men in white stopped, they obviously were mechanized puppets, with stitching visible at the joints. As if it was done on purpose, all the joints on their bodies had a gap to differentiate the mechanized puppets from the living.

At the beginning of the battle, it was only the man in white, Barbabia, and the blue and black armored man fighting.

“Let me see what you’ve got, then!” The blue and black armored man cocked an eyebrow. The halberd turned semi transparent in his hand as plumes of black gaseous substance rose and circled him as if a living thing.

“Argus, repent in hell!” The man in white, Barbabia raised his right hand in the air.

“Listen to the sound of everything! Endless Convergence!”

Sound waves in the surroundings were attracted and converging in his hand to form a transparent vortex that spun at high speed.

“Annihilation Wave!”

Horrible sound waves burst from Barbabia, the man in white, like ripples in the water but at the speed of a storm. Sound waves hit the blue-black armored man, almost knocking the weapon off his hand. He shivered and then sputtered a mouthful of blood, flying backward before falling into the sea.

The endless sound waves, coming from Barbabia, continued spreading into all directions. Like pollution, it had no signs of diminishing. It absorbed the other sound waves in the environment to strengthen itself. With the two as the center of the battlefield, sound waves caused the sea to surge with rings of ripple on the surface. The ripples built up and formed into waves.

Ignoring the principle of wave phase cancelation, the sound wave absorbed sounds of every frequency and amplitude, turning them into its own strength before sending it out into all directions.

“Stop running!”

Barbabia looked in the direction where Argus had gone. Instead of giving chase in that direction, he turned around and flew in the opposite way. Soon, he saw Argus, still in his blue-black armor, right up ahead.

“Don’t be naïve! I have seen through your Ghostwalk! You’re not going to get away, Argus!”

Argus fled and Barbabia gave chase. Soon, they reached the airspace above a defensive city filled with survivors. The seaside defensive city had just reduced its area of defense, barely stabilizing the situation. But they would never have foreseen what was going to happen.

Two streaks of light came from above and crashed into the city center. Buildings began to collapse amid waves of explosions. Their impregnable defense system was useless against the two men.

“Bloodgorge!”

Argus lifted his halberd with a beam of red light burst from its tip. The light shot into the sky and split into countless beams before coming back down to the ground, killing many people who was still struck dumb and wondering what happened. Ten thousand people died instantly, with all their blood extracted, following the beams to flow up into the halberd.

“Bloodshadow Halberd, kill!”

Argus wielded his weapon and charged at Barbabia.

In the Sanctum HQ.

Lin Sheng sat in the main seat, his pale gold eyes gazing through his helmet at his subordinates sitting below him.

“I’ve started upgrading the sacred crystal font here. Please recruit more people. The more, the better.

The holy power is the power to bring people together, the power of the soul. It is a pure and flawless circle of life. When more people are coming together, the Sanctum will become stronger.”

“We got it. But, Lord, why don’t we join the two sanctums together? If moving a large number of people at the same time is a concern, we can do it gradually. When everyone gathers in one place, the level of holy power produced will be even higher. So too the force of deterrence and protection. The Steel Lord suggested.

“With too many people gathering in one place, it will not work well for us to absorb people who are suffering in different locations,” Lin Sheng said. “We are not only wanting to keep the two sanctums separate but also sending out people to set up more branches to gather more holy power.”

“In that case, in terms of manpower, I’m afraid…” The Night Lord frowned.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Lin Sheng softly tweaked the armrest and sent a signal into the void. Immediately, a portal in the shape of a triangle, shimmering in red light, slit open slowly in the center of the sanctum hall. Coming out from within the tall body of the Giant King. On seeing Lin Sheng, he went down on his knees and said his greeting.

“His Majesty, King of the Holy Spirit. Your most loyal man, Khur Warspear, at your service!” After saying his greeting, Lin Sheng motioned him to stand aside to the right, directly opposite the Night Lord and all.

Following immediately came Sin Dragon Matriarch out of the portal. The battle wound was still on her face, seemingly not in the happiest mood, bowing to Lin Sheng with respect before standing at the right.

Next came the Fairy Empress. Just regaining her arm, the Fairy Empress was summoned here to take charge of a city that would possibly be built soon.

As the last of the three of them emerged, the portal automatically closed.

“Please introduce yourself. You all will be working together as a company. I need you all to work together as one in our next grand plan,” Lin Sheng said.
