Anna now set off a storm of 100 million blades over Tivian. If it was lowered and placed on the ground, it would not take long to destroy the entire Tivian, razing this huge city with a population of millions to the ground and shattering it into powder. The storm that Tivian is experiencing now is just a small aftermath of the storm that Anna really released. Facing the strong winds blown by Anna, even the holy steel ship such as the Twilight Shadow had to lower its altitude to take shelter.

Under the attack of such a fierce wind, Gu Mian used all his strength to repair himself. His body was crushed into powder while regenerating rapidly. As an almost complete apostle, Gu Mian possessed tremendous spiritual power to provide support for the regeneration and repair of his illusory body. He actually maintained his body tenaciously in the storm of sharp blades and continued to fly into the sky.

At this moment, Gu Mian was repairing his body in the destructive wind while continuing his pilgrimage. Although his speed was affected, he was still able to keep moving forward. At this moment, Gu Mian regarded this storm as a difficult test on his pilgrimage.

"No... According to the resonance of the Holy Cocoon, Gu Mian has not been destroyed! Although its speed has slowed down a little, it is still enough to support it to enter the transmission point before his death!

"This storm is very powerful, can it be a little stronger?"

At this time, Dorothy, the giant dragon flying low in the sky above the city of Divian, was still hovering here. Beside her, the black cat who could sense the condition of the holy cocoon spoke frankly with a stern look.

“There’s no way to solve this…”

After Dorothy heard what the Black Cat said, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. She immediately contacted Anna through the information channel. However, the answer Anna gave was not very good.

"No... Teacher... This is already the limit.

"A large-scale attack covering the entire Tivian sky is already the maximum limit. If I want to increase the power of the attack, I must narrow the range of the attack, and this may not necessarily cover the enemy!"

Floating on the sea outside the port, Anna responded to Dorothy with a serious expression. After Dorothy heard Anna's response, she couldn't help but feel even more solemn.

'Only by reducing the attack range can the attack power be increased... If this is the case... there will be no 100% chance of hitting the Gu Mian, which will be very risky.

"So, do you want to make a bet now? Bet on which area the Gumian will be in and concentrate the output there. If you bet right, you may be able to cause more effective damage to the Gumian, but if you bet wrong, it will be the same as letting it die directly..."

Dorothy thought so deeply in her heart, and in just a moment she had the answer.

"No! You can't gamble! If you gamble wrong, it's all over... Now we must find the exact location of Gu Mian and then give it a devastating blow... But... How can we find the location of Gu Mian when we can't use any method to sense it?"

Dorothy was lost in thought as she thought about this in her heart. She was extremely careful and unwilling to throw the dice at her fate. She was now thinking rapidly about how to find a way to perform the Gu-sleeping trick. Under the strong pressure, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Maybe... let's try this..."

Immediately, Dorothy, who had a new idea, began to use her own information channel to contact other people, and this time the person she contacted was Nefernis.

…

"Huh..." Finally done.

In a secluded street house in Tivian, at a ceremony site with countless ghostly green soul fires floating in the air, Neveu, who had just finished what Dorothy had done before, let out a long sigh of relief, then stretched herself and stood up, walked to the window and looked at the scene of howling wind outside the window.

"I have completed my mission... but I don't know what is happening elsewhere. Dorothy said before that she would fight the enemy in her dreams. Has she won now?"

Neveu was thinking this in her heart, and a trace of anxiety rose in her heart. Just when she felt a little anxious, Dorothy's information contact was connected.

"Ah... Miss Dorothy, I've almost finished my work here. How's yours? Ah? Soul, I still have some left, and I haven't sent them all back yet...

"What? A new mission?"

With a hint of confusion, Neveu couldn't help but frowned slightly after listening to Dorothy's words.

…

In the stormy streets of Tivian, Neveu, wearing glasses, a robe and a hood, was flying at high speed. The strong wind whistled and blew her clothes, and the wind and rain hit her glasses. Neveu endured it while flying at high speed in the low sky.

With the help of Anna's wind control from afar, Neveu flew over the city at an extremely high speed. Fortunately, she was an extraordinary person who assisted the "Cup", otherwise such a fast flying speed would be enough to make her faint.

"Okay... we're almost there..."

After flying at high speed, Neveu finally flew to a predetermined location and landed on the roof of a high-rise building. After landing on the roof, Neveu immediately began to work non-stop. She directly released a translucent ghost and controlled it to stay on the roof.

After the ghost stayed there, Nef immediately flew up again, quickly flying towards the next point, the next rooftop, and quickly reached the destination in two seconds. Then, Nef released another ghost here and let it stay here as well.

Just like that, Neveu braved the wind and rain, and flew over the city at high speed. At different points far apart in the city, she placed the ordinary ghosts that Neveu had summoned before. With the help of Anna's wind, Neveu placed many ghosts in a large area in about half a minute.

When the last ghost was settled, Neveu reported to Dorothy.

"Hoo...Hoo...It's so cold...Ms. Dorothy, I'm ready!"

"Very good, let's get started."

After receiving Dorothy's response, Neveu immediately began the planned operation. She closed her eyes, took the treasure from Dorothy in advance, and with the support of the Lamp of the Underworld, she carefully connected all the countless ghosts under her control within dozens of kilometers.

Then, Neveu gave orders to the ghosts, asking them to look up at the sky.

Afterwards, at countless points on the roofs of countless buildings, these pre-placed ghosts looked up at the sky at all times under unified commands. Some ghosts saw nothing due to the wrong angle, while those who could see saw in the sky, the pale white figure looming in the sky amid the howling storm.

Some ghosts saw the figure more clearly, some saw it more blurry, and some saw it very faint, almost invisible. Regardless of whether it was clear, blurry, or faint, the moment these ghosts observed the pale existence, they all fell down, closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep with their dead bodies. Although Neveu had cut off the sensory connection with these ghosts beforehand, the ghosts' perception was not affected at all. At this moment, these sleeping ghosts also cut off the connection with Neveu.

At this moment, Dorothy, who had been keeping an eye on the overall situation, immediately became focused and began to perform rapid calculations in her mind.

What Dorothy is calculating at this moment is time.

Although these ghosts arranged in various directions seem to have fallen asleep in a moment, there are differences in this moment.

Previously, when Dorothy had the spy monks on the Twilight Shadow conduct observation experiments, they all failed. However, it was not without gain, as she found a hint of something.

In those experiments, although directly observing the Gu-sleep and observing the Gu-sleep through obstacles both lead to hypnosis, there is a very small time difference in the speed of hypnosis. In simple terms, the person who directly observed the Gu-sleep fell down immediately, while the person who observed the extremely hazy Gu-sleep through thick fog seemed to pause for less than a second before falling down.

In other words, the more direct the observation of Gu Sleep, the greater the impact of Gu Sleep, and vice versa. And no matter how small the impact is, it will make people fall asleep for a moment. And what Dorothy wants to calculate now is the difference in this moment.

At this time, the sky of Tivian was covered by a storm, which itself obscured Gu Mian's figure, making it extremely hazy. This caused the visual effect of looking at Gu Mian to be different at different distances. The closer you are to Gu Mian, the clearer you can see Gu Mian in the sky. However, the farther you are from Gu Mian, because the storm is not thick enough to block it, the more blurred you can see Gu Mian's figure. Even if you look at the direction where Gu Mian is, you will not be able to see its existence.

These storms created by Anna were just like the fog in the previous Holy Steel Ship experiment. Even if Dorothy did not directly sense the Gusleep, she could use her willpower to observe the time it took for the Gusleep to be hypnotized from a distance and calculate the Gusleep's location.

Just now, Neveu had all her ghosts observe the Gu-sleep, and all the observed ghosts were hypnotized. The hypnotized ghosts would immediately disconnect from Neveu, and at this moment, Dorothy was monitoring Neveu's feelings through the information channel, including her perception of these ghosts.

Among these ghosts, those who are close to the Gusleep are hypnotized quickly and will be disconnected first, while those who are far away are hypnotized slowly and will be disconnected later, while those who have not observed the Gusleep will not be disconnected. Although the time difference between these disconnections, that is, the difference in the speed of the ghosts being hypnotized, is extremely small, ranging from 0.0001 seconds to 0.01 seconds, it is less than a second in the general sense, but it can be accurately recorded by Dorothy and used as a chapter.

After recording, it was very simple to calculate. By comparing the tiny differences in the length of the hypnosis time, Dorothy could determine the distance between the ghosts set at various points and Gumian. Combining the distances between these ghosts that she already knew and Tivian's map, Dorothy could comprehensively calculate how far these ghosts were from Gumian, and calculate Gumian's specific location in Tivian's sky at that moment.

The next thing to do is to send this specific coordinate location to Anna who is ready to go.

On the sea outside the port of Tivian, at this moment, a huge tornado was swirling in the storm, constantly rolling up huge waves and overturning ships. As it absorbed sea water, it became more and more powerful and terrifying.

㱗Inside the tornado, inside the raging blast wall, Anna, who was holding a flag high, immediately shouted loudly after receiving the information coming from afar.

"Wind! Charge with me!!"

At the command, Anna flew up, and the tornado around her rushed towards the sky like a dragon, piercing the sky above the city.

At this moment, the strong wind that was sweeping across the entire Tivian suddenly slowed down, and the rainstorm seemed to become smaller all of a sudden. The body of Gu Mian in the sky suddenly became clear and bright. After seeing this, Gu Mian, who had been struggling to advance in the storm blade, immediately accelerated his flight and flew towards the psychedelic woods high in the sky.

This is the last section of distance. In less than five seconds, Gu Mian will rush into the woods and enter the area allowed for dream teleportation. He will start the teleportation and directly arrive at the dream cocoon.

"boom!"

At this moment, in the eastern sky, a thick and huge tornado was flying across at a speed far exceeding Gu Mian's incredible speed, like a dragon leaping out of the sea, roaring and attacking Gu Mian's huge body.

By the time the devout and excited Gu Mian reacted, the Storm Dragon had already rushed in front of him. Inside the Storm Dragon's head was Anna, who was holding a spear, closing her eyes, blocking all her senses, and charging towards her predetermined position.

"What……"

In great astonishment, Gu Mian stretched out his hands and tentacles to stop it, and before he could react, he stretched out his hands and tentacles to stop it. However, the moment his arms and tentacles touched the Storm Dragon, they were crushed to pieces. Then the Storm Dragon continued to move forward and hit Gu Mian's body directly.

In an instant, the huge, fat, bloated and deformed body seemed to be sucked into a meat grinder. Amidst the extreme wails, it was chopped into illusory fragments that floated down from the sky.

…

On the windless field covered with wind-eroded rocks, the eight-eyed witch stood on the cracked earth, gazing with a smile at the silent and broken knight on the throne in front of her. She seemed to recall and trace something, then continued to walk slowly forward.

Step by step, the witch slowly approached the throne, as if it was a trophy that she was determined to obtain. However, facing the witch's approach, the figure on the throne did not react at all, but just sat there silently.

"files!"

Suddenly, a loud metallic sound was heard all around, and in front of the witch, a metal iron fence wall that seemed to be made of copper suddenly pierced out of the ground, blocking the witch from the throne. The iron fence wall also rose up from the other three sides of the throne, and suddenly placed the entire throne in a brass cage to protect it. After seeing this, the witch frowned slightly and stopped.

However, even if the witch stopped her steps, the crisp sound of metal hitting each other continued to echo in the entire space. The sound of metal gradually became rhythmic, and more and more similar sounds gradually became interspersed in it. It felt like being inside a busy factory.

“Ah…it’s you…”

Looking at the cage in front of her, the witch couldn't help but speak in understanding, and the metal sounds around her had gradually turned into the sound of machinery running and steam roaring, and the temperature of the entire space began to rise rapidly.

Amidst the roar, the ground began to crack, and huge metal pillars hundreds of meters high continued to rise from it, with profound and mysterious symbols engraved on them. From the cracked ground, high-temperature steam continued to spew out and evaporate.

Above the space, the originally thick black clouds were gradually dispersing under the drive of some force, and then countless huge gears with diameters of hundreds or thousands of meters appeared above the black clouds. These incredibly large gears were suspended above the ceiling of the space, meshing with each other and rotating, assisted by equally incredibly large chains or connecting rods, forming a whole, covering the entire sky.

The mechanical sky pressed the earth with an immense pressure, and the noisy roar of the machines filled the entire space, turning the entire world into an endless factory. In the center of the mechanical sky, facing the broken throne, a huge, glass-like "eye" was formed among the countless gears rotating in the mechanical sky. This "eye" constantly flashed an unsettling red light, as if to warn the existence approaching the throne below, disdaining all the insignificance.

The witch paused for a moment after looking around at the sudden changes in her surroundings. Then she looked at that eye and spoke with a smile.

"Who was there at that time? It turns out it was you... So, you are the final backup that Serene invited? It seems that once the secret becomes invalid, a certain mechanism will be triggered, and you will obtain the corresponding information here to carry out the final measure...

"Even now, you are still so concerned about Hyperion's affairs... Even if it is just his inheritance... I thought you were the smartest one among the 'Stones', but I didn't expect that you are just like your other kind, so ignorant of the times and stubborn... I advise you to go against the 'trend', but there will be no good results."

Looking at the warning red eye in the sky, the witch said this, but after her words fell, the mechanical sky did not give any response, and continued to give warning pressure, with no intention of retreating at all.

Looking at the situation in front of her, the witch breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to speak with some helplessness.

"It seems like you are not going to give in? Well, I knew this would be the result. I foresaw your appearance, so I am not unprepared.

"First, put the things away. I don't intend to fight you here, but I won't let go of what I have, so..."

Looking at the mechanical sky above, there was a hint of deeper meaning in the witch's smile.

"So, let's have a deal... You, who are trying to keep the 'Shangjin Realm' from completely falling, can't refuse a deal, no matter how much you favor Hyperion and his successors... At a time like this, you must remain neutral...

"If... I can give you something valuable enough, then you must sell me the thing in the cage..."

As she spoke, the witch slowly lowered her head, stared at the broken knight in the cage with her eight pupils, and said with a smile.
