Chapter 1207: Huan Tiansi: Dead Look

Aiwass stared at the second sun hanging in the crimson sky in silence.

He was not burned by it because he had strong enough resistance.

At this moment, flames had begun to burn in the streets - the cotton and linen on the ground had begun to burn, and the silk clothes on some rich free people began to blacken and smoke; the water in the canals trembled slightly and began to shake like an earthquake; the air began to distort and blur, like the wind heated above the barbecue grill.

People exclaimed, screamed, and ran in increasing panic.

Their skin was burned by the heat and blisters appeared... You know, the Parthians are more heat-resistant than people from other places, but even they can't withstand this kind of heat.

It was a huge fireball as big as the sun hanging in the sky.

It was a scene like the end of the world.

If I had to describe it, I could only use the metaphor of "divine wrath"—

The vortex of flames formed around the fireball, pulling the clouds apart like shredded marshmallows, indicating that it was at an incredible height.

And to be so huge and clear at such a height, the diameter of the fireball must be more than a kilometer; similarly, if the heat can reach such a level at such a height, the temperature of its core must be unimaginable.

"...Is this really something a fifth-level transcendent can do?"

Adil murmured softly, "Is this the inheritance of knowledge? The sun's glow... is truly magnificent."

He obviously knew who did it, and even had a clear grasp of Hassan the Flame Fist's power level.

If a fireball of this magnitude falls directly downwards... the entire city will be engulfed in flames.

No mortal could survive that level of heat, not even a corpse would remain.

Under this terrifying heat, people will die the moment they come into contact with it, and will be cremated directly after death.

In an instant, "heaven" can turn into "purgatory" -

"A spell of this scale should probably be performed in a Mage Tower."

Aiwass said: "This is already a strategic spell."

——He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Hassan the Flame Fist developed the Tiansi fragments to such an advanced level?

Even if the power stored in the Tiansi fragment is indeed enough to support him to complete a spell of this scale... but without the assistance of the Mage Tower, can he, a young mage who has only studied magic for a little over ten years, really do such an outrageous thing?

There is no doubt that this spell is designed to massacre the city.

According to the Red Hand's theory, the civilians and slaves living in the oasis are all assets of the Good Lord. They cannot survive without the Good Lord, and the Good Lord's strength and power all come from them. Therefore, killing the civilians is equivalent to a heavy blow to the Good Lord.

This theory sounds outrageous and extreme, even missing the point - but if you know that they are a group of avengers with only one page left in their household registration book, tragic life stories, and deep blood feuds, then all this seems reasonable.

They have such tragic life experiences that they can't help but feel jealousy and hatred towards those who live safely in the city-state... This is also human nature.

For them, perhaps they are not just going to destroy the good Lord...

And now, this image of "destruction" has become a reality, hanging high in the air.

"Ugh—"

The shark next to Aiwass was already breathing heavily.

Her pupils and part of her hair had turned blood red, clearly completely stressed. With just one command, she could instantly switch into combat mode, immediately launching a frantic attack on the enemy.

As a water-attributed creature of the Path of Love, Shark is clearly incompatible with this scorching artificial "sun" - she is particularly not used to this kind of heat.

If she had not transformed into a human form with stronger heat dissipation capabilities, her scales would probably have started to dehydrate and turn white by now.

"A bunch of hysterical, unscrupulous lunatics!"

Adil, who always seemed calm, steady, and holy, now showed obvious disgust on his face: "May God punish them! I will now walk the earth on God's behalf!"

After saying that, he picked up the amber egg on the table, nodded to Aiwass, and walked out quickly.

Aiwass followed immediately.

He had to see how the other party planned to defend against this move... If he couldn't defend it, Aiwass had to quickly find a way to rescue some people first.

But theoretically, Adil should be able to deal with the Flame Fist—even though the Flame Fist has the Celestial Master fragment, has a priority equivalent to the sixth energy level, and now that the Flame Celestial Master has arrived, it just so happens that it has the home advantage...

But Adil himself is a genuine sixth-level extraordinary person.

Coupled with the power of "Taboo" and "Dusk" provided by the Amber Egg, it is at least on par with the Flame Fist.

Furthermore, while Flame Fist had the advantage of going first, Adil had the advantage of numbers—casters could unleash a spell matrix beyond their own capabilities through resonance and joint casting. This was the principle of the Mage Tower, and ritualists were quite adept at it.

Aiwass had also seen the Noble Red ritualists use this method in Avalon.

The ritualists at that time were only at the second or third energy level... Even led by a fourth-level person, they could cause considerable trouble to Aiwass.

And now there are more than a dozen or even dozens of high-quality spellcasters in Paradise City.

As the second-largest city-state in the ancient Parthian Empire, it boasted over a hundred Transcendents of the Fourth Energy Level. Now, with the surge of Transcendents, and the revitalized path to Transcendents following the death of the Fallen Angels, several had even ascended to the Fifth Energy Level, and those Transcendents who were below the Fourth Energy Level had also ascended to the Fourth Energy Level.

Adil strode out, his eyes gradually igniting with a dim yellow glow. The amber egg in his hand also shone with a dim yellow light, illuminating the surroundings like gold.

He held the amber egg in his hand like a glowing lantern.

Dozens of priests had now rushed over from all over the temple - among them were humans, trolls, and snakemen. The common point was that they all carried rings of different materials and had black ring patterns painted on their chests or abdomens.

Although they used the dusk power of Yuan Tiansi, their faith was in Huan Tiansi. This was, to be honest, a bit ironic... After all, Yuan Tiansi was also a form of Huan Tiansi.

——Huan Tiansi looks dead.

"Recite the Holy Word!"

Adil shouted loudly: "I am your totem, your father, your god!"

As he chanted, the "lantern" in his hand swung more and more violently.

A dim yellow glow, almost golden, began to spread outward, isolating the heat from the barrier. The nearly boiling heat almost melted away, and a pleasant coolness accompanied by a damp, fishy smell spread through the air.

People realized that this place was safe, so they ran towards Adil like crazy.

It's like a spell of preservation... As the end point of everything, the Dusk Path naturally possesses the power to isolate everything.

"You are our totem, our father, our god."

The priests praised in unison.

And in the next moment, something strange happened——

“All those who do not worship God are maggots!

"Kneel, cheekless mortals! I command you to offer flesh and blood to the Weeping One.

"Write this blood pact to me: for the sleepless beast is the true form of the Holy Grail!"

As the priests shouted in unison, a disgusting distortion and distortion appeared in the air.

The world seemed to turn upside down in an instant, the wind turned into water, and the earth turned into sky.

Those who were running towards them in terror were crushed by the invisible wave without even a cry of surprise.

Like cakes crumbling under a giant hammer, their bodies melted and shattered with ease, their flesh and blood swirling together, forming abstract, translucent tentacles of blood.

Like a sea anemone, it unfolded in the air and turned into a shield.

"--What are you doing!"

Aiwass was caught off guard by this development.

Adil's eyes were full of calmness, even a little helpless and confused.

"It is better to injure a finger than to break an arm; it is better to drown one man than to let a hundred perish in thirst. I am their master, and I must keep them alive—I have that obligation. It is like protecting my own body."

Adil said seriously: "How do you know they are unwilling to sacrifice?"

That is not the moral concept of "necessary evil" or "premature death".

Instead, he completely treated those people as his own fingers and arms.

As he said, these slaves were his property and he could not allow them to be killed by the Red Hand.

And similarly... in order to rescue more slaves, it is reasonable to sacrifice some of them.

At this moment, the "sun" in the sky suddenly began to shrink.

The originally huge crimson fireball began to gradually dim and shrink... but that was not a sign of fading away.

Because shortly after it shrank, it suddenly expanded rapidly and shook out countless fireballs!
