Chapter 704: Chaotic Serpent

“Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness!”

The thin and dense streams of electricity and lasers gathered on Lucien’s right hand unpredictably, enshrouding it in dancing snowflakes and ice, before they were entangled with each other in unique and mysterious ways and eventually triggered a transparent pillar of light that seemed to have been launched out of the deepest part of the dark, cold cosmos!

The power in this ‘Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness’ was so compressed that none of it leaked out, but if one were to perceive it carefully, they would sense the coldness from the bottom of their heart, as if they had witnessed the lifeless end of the universe.

Shock appeared on Mecantron’s face. He had never anticipated that Lucien could perform a legendary spell that was so close to Gonheim’s ‘Doomsday Cold’.

Since he was sustaining ‘Blessed Realm’ and holding ‘Time Plate’ with his extraordinary power, he was hit by Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness without being able to react.

The Chaotic Cosmos was frozen, the holy light of order was frozen, the starry light of angels was frozen, and so were the beautiful hymns.

The ivory color of the Blessed Realm soon faded into blackness which was absorbing all rays and heat. Such a feeling quickly spread out into the Blessed Realm!

The legendary divine power was also frozen lifelessly under the terrifying coldness. An eternal silence where nothing was alive seemed to have been created.

In such a state, the realm was so vulnerable that it could not stop the low temperature caused by electricity and laser from slowing down the vibration of the microscopic particles nearby, which was the nature of ‘temperature’ in the microscopic scale!

The Angel King had never thought that his Blessed Realm would be fundamentally frozen. Therefore, when the dark coldness surged at him unstoppably, he was more or less panicked. Crossing his arms, he unfolded his thirty-six holy wings that were enshrouded in brilliance.

The seven-floored projection of ‘Mountain Paradise’ was even clearer. The most horrifying waves spread out of the highest floor.

“Whoever prays in your name shall not be harmed.”

In front of the unparalleled coldness, Mecantron forgot the outside world and recited the scripture of the Cannon devoutly.

Ha!

All the angels and holy spirits on Mountain Paradise sang the hymn that was similar to this sound, distantly and sacredly. The infinite light on the seventh floor was even brighter, spraying the purest and most flawless brilliance.

Praying inside the brilliance, Mecantron was quickly blurred. The colors and waves which did not belong to this world spread out, turning the space around into a different universe.

The coldness created by Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness could not affect another world. Any spell had its own range of application. No magic could finish enemies in all scenarios, unless it was purely the infinite amalgamation of violence!

Witnessing that, Clement, who was temporarily suppressed by Natasha’s crazy attacks, was covered in cold sweat. Lucien Evans’ creepy spells were each tougher than the last. If the Angel King hadn’t arrived, he wouldn’t even know how he was killed!

The Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness which hit a passing asteroid did not leave a deep impression on him, because plenty of legendary spells could’ve caused a similar effect. However, the terrible coldness created by Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness against the Angel King, a top legend, scared him, who began to consider Lucien as dangerous as a top legend.

“Thankfully, I have the Angel King who has God’s Guard!” He sincerely felt lucky.

However, Lucien was given an opportunity. Mecantron who had performed God’s Guard was as immobile as Natasha when she used the Shield of Truth! God’s Guard even forbade the receiver from launching any attack!

It was a genetic deficiency of such ultimate defense. How could they attack the enemy if the enemy was in a different universe? From that point of view, the Shield of Truth was truly not as good as God of Truth in terms of defense.

Therefore, the moment Lucien saw that the Angel King used God’s Guard, he immediately activated Precise Transfer and reached the Time Plate!

Since Mecantron had curbed the power of the Time Plate by holding it previously, the space-time abnormalities were already gone. That’s why Lucien could blink to it instead of reaching it by flight.

“I have to thank Mecantron for paving the path to the Time Plate for me…” Such an idea somehow occurred to Lucien.

Mage’s Hand was condensed and snatched the Time Plate. Mecantron, who was still resisting Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness, however, put on a smile, as if he was hoping that Lucien would take the Time Plate!

The frigidity that did not belong to the normal world was rejected. As the magic power that sustained it was gone, the cold and dark ‘ocean’ soon vanished, and God’s Guard remained unaffected.

At this moment, Lucien’s Mage’s Hand already picked up the Time Plate, when a streak of mysterious darkness protruded inside the Time Plate like the most vicious serpent!

With the unimaginable power of curse, it spread towards Lucien’s body along Mage’s Hand faster than any creature could possibly react. Since Lucien was right next to it, it lunged on his body easily.

Spell Trigger, Magic Order, Elemental Skin and the other innate spells were activated, but none of them could stop the snake of curse. As if it were invisible, it crawled into Lucien’s body!

“It worked…” Mecantron canceled God’s Guard and prayed. Glowing light was gathered into a holy, intimidating book.

As the book was turned, godly runes flew out and constituted a web that seemed to be from Mountain Paradise, attempting to capture Lucien.

It was Seal of Judgment!

That was the legendary divine power in the Saint Truth which could seal the enemy’s power. Once it worked on the enemy, the enemy’s strength would halt or even decline. Also, it was a permanent effect and could hardly be expelled.

The curse of the snake previously, on the other hand, was from Gonheim. It was the reward from abyss, named ‘Chaotic Serpent’, when he became the Prince of Demons, and it had a similar effect to Seal of Judgment.

After the two effects were combined, the Congress of Magic’s method to lift the curses would be nullified. Lucien could only find a solution on his own. His strength would halt in the next decades even if he had the help of demigods!

For Mecantron and Gonheim, they were glad to see Lucien Evans’ research in the microscopic domain, which would provide theoretical foundations for the way to become demigods. Then, they would be able to make advancements and see the dawn of true gods. They wouldn’t agree to kill Lucien Evans at all.

However, Lucien’s growth also terrified them. They feared that Lucien would have already become a demigod or a true god before they picked up his theory. After all, the sorcerers sometimes had the feedback of the real world when they created groundbreaking theories. Would he allow them to become demigods or true gods? Of course not! He would certainly try to eliminate them!

Both eager and scared, they had made such a plan. Seizing the opportunity that Lucien needed space-time materials, they would curse and seal him so that his strength would halt, and it wouldn’t hinder his arcana studies at all!

In this plan, the elvish queen was merely a pawn who did not know anything. She merely informed Lucien of the locations of the space-time materials that she knew according to the terms of cooperation. She didn’t even know that the Angel King was behind the curtain. Also, in her eyes, nothing was strange about that. Lucien wouldn’t necessarily choose the Time Plate after all.

Then, according to Lucien’s style and personality that the Demogorgon of Darkness knew, they reached the conclusion that Lucien would come to the Chaotic Cosmos. As to when it would be exactly, they could only learn it after he approached the abyss.

When he approached the abyss, Gonheim would immediately inform the Angel King and asked him to send his subordinates to steal the Time Plate.

That was because there was still a critical problem. With Lucien Evans’ cautiousness, he definitely wouldn’t pick up the Time Plate without examining it carefully first. In such a case, the power of the Chaotic Snake would be clearly revealed, and they couldn’t achieve their purpose at all.

Therefore, they had to create an environment where Lucien had to grab the Time Plate immediately and flee, so that he wouldn’t have the time or the opportunity to examine it. For that, they needed a competitor who fought for the Time Plate, as well as the pressure from the Demogorgon of Darkness from the back.

Seeing that nothing happened to Clement when he held the Time Plate, and since the Demogorgon of Darkness was coming ‘furiously’, Lucien Evans certainly wouldn’t check it carefully again if he had a chance to flee with the Time Plate.

Therefore, the plan required a strict order of events, or Lucien Evans’ wariness couldn’t be erased. Also, they needed to consider the possibility that Lucien Evans stalled the enemy and Natasha Violet went to take it.

As it turned out, Lucien’s capabilities were far beyond their expectation, and his preparations were terrifying. Even the firelord and the Demogorgon of Darkness combined didn’t stop him for long, and Natasha and he reached the Chaotic Cosmos before Clement confirmed the ‘safety’ of the Time Plate. Therefore, the Angel King had to expose himself in advance and arrived at the abyss!

Although Clement was too useless to even deal with Natasha, his involvement had completely eased Lucien’s wariness after all! Mecantron thought as such while he watched the web of seal made of the divine runes fell upon Lucien’s head.

“Despite the twists and turns, we have achieved our purpose successfully after all…”

The moment such an idea occurred to Mecantron, Lucien, who was suffering from ‘Chaotic Serpent’ and ‘Seal of Judgment’ suddenly glowed with a green light and was reduced into a bright green puppet that was painted with weird patterns.

It looked at Mecantron with its hollow eyes, and a creepy smile on its face.

“A substitution puppet!”

A substitution puppet created by McLeod, the legendary alchemy master!

“Not good!” Mecantron was immediately shocked after seeing the puppet that was enshrouded in dark air and holy light. The Time Plate, in the meantime, had fallen into the hands of a shadow that was slowly surfacing. He wore a double-breasted suit and had a handsome face where the pupils were deep and dark and the monocle was glimmering. It was exactly Lucien Evans!

“The Chaotic Cosmos is still a cosmos. There’s no need to create a vacuum…” Lucien thought to himself and raised his left hand, aiming at Mecantron who had just cast ‘Seal of Judgment’. Looking at the guy’s shocked face, he chanted the weird and profound voice that sounded from the vibration of particles:

“Positron Cannon!”
