Chapter 92: World Overlap (Comic Plot)...
Libertas heard the almost hysterical screams of Vining coming from beside her.
"Impossible! How could this be!"
"This is a god who controls money and the power of transactions!"
Libertas: ?!
She gasped.
Due to the immense pressure from Yan Ju, the deity revealed its full form from the altar, its towering shadow and unknown roars filling the space.
Libertas felt an indescribable fear gripping her, a dull ache in her chest, and blood involuntarily trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her head throbbed, her consciousness began to blur, as if she were about to be completely overwhelmed by this force at any moment.
In the next scene, the image gradually becomes blurry and dark.
Suddenly, a distant but clear shout rang out: "Get out!"
The shouts turned into wails, and the image, after a period of dizziness, became clear again.
Libertas struggled to lift his head and saw a scene he would likely never forget.
The colossal shadow shattered in mid-air, as if torn apart instantly by an invisible force, transforming into countless points of light that scattered in all directions. These points of light, like fluttering fireflies, carried ancient and mysterious runes, dissipating into the void.
Amidst the starlight and flames, Yanju's expression was cold, his eyes like obsidian.
His loose black hair and the dark green uniform jacket of the Bureau of Extremities fluttered in the wind.
She is human, not a god.
However, humans can also annihilate gods.
【Wow! I've realized I still know nothing about Director Yan's abilities】
That altar summoned a god, right?
[After all, gods who control money and transactions are probably no match for the limits of human strength... wait, what kind of god is this? He's way too fragile!]
Hello everyone, I'm Director Yan's dog.
I've discovered that as long as Director Yan is in charge of the Bureau of Dissent, it's already invincible.
Intrigue and trickery are useless against absolute power.
In the aftershocks of the god's dissipation, Yan Ju slowly descended from the sky, still surrounded by that oppressive aura.
Her expression was serious, as if she was thinking about something, when she suddenly turned her head.
“God said, protect us,” Yanju whispered.
Libertas felt a gentle force enveloping her, soothing her pain and rapidly healing her bleeding wounds.
In the air, the dissipating shockwave seemed to have struck something transparent, producing a faint cracking sound.
Libertas suddenly looked up.
The dissipating shockwave seemed to have struck a transparent barrier, causing fine cracks to appear on the barrier and spread rapidly.
The next moment, as the invisible barrier shattered completely, an unknown city appeared from the void, pressing down on Emerald City as if it had appeared out of thin air.
The edge of that city met the Emerald City, instantly swallowing a portion of it. Libertas watched helplessly as the buildings and creatures at the base of the Emerald City vanished in an instant under that unknown force, as if they had never existed.
She stood at this dividing point, surrounded by complete silence.
On the left is dusk and Emerald City, on the right is an unknown city and night.
This city... seems familiar... wait, isn't this Cloud City??
[Did this old thief just copy and paste Cloud City directly from the tourist guide without any changes?]
So what just shattered was the world barrier.
[Yanju: Why is this world barrier as fragile as a god?]
[Actually, what I really wanted to say was, could this comic really be a documentary? I'm from Yuncheng, and last week on the local news, a lot of people were saying they saw dusk in the middle of the night...]
The person upstairs is really empathizing!
In the comic, the scene was completely silent.
The afterglow of dusk and the shadows of night intertwined at Yanju's feet. She stood on that boundary line, her gaze indifferent.
The moment the world barrier shattered, Wei Ning became excited again and quickly gathered her forces to confront Yan Ju.
“Director Yan,” Wei Ning said, standing in front of the merchant group with a hint of smugness, “please make way.”
She paused, pointed to the merchant group behind her, and added, "Our actions will not affect the interests of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs. The Bureau of Foreign Affairs is still the Bureau of Foreign Affairs; we are simply preparing for normal business expansion."
Libertas: ?
She silently took two steps back, feeling that her mission might be complete.
Merchant groups from the underworld can legally enter the surface world to conduct transactions, but that is on the premise that they go through the normal channels of the Interdimensional Management Bureau and complete all the necessary documents and procedures.
Wei Ning, this is an illegal smuggling ring.
She wouldn't expect Director Yan to be as tolerant of them, would she?
Moreover, based on Libertas's understanding of Director Yan from the past few times, Director Yan is decisive and efficient in his actions, regardless of whether someone is a junior or has any background.
Wei Ning and the Mithril Merchant Guild are in big trouble.
What was that saying again? Wei Ning is really daring.
I understand, it means "If there's a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws."
She must not have thought things through carefully before she decided to trample on the law; the person opposite her was Director Yan.
[This is hilarious! Libertas silently took a few steps back, was he worried about getting their blood splattered on him?]
[Libertas: I don't really understand you smuggling gangs, but I think you're finished.]
Sure enough, after a few words of negotiation, Wei Ning was probably blinded by her impending success. Her voice gradually became aggressive, and she even directly threatened Director Yan with the two cities.
The next second, dusk brightened up again.
Libertas looked up, then held his breath.
The sun, which was about to sink below the horizon, suddenly reversed its trajectory and rose again from the darkness. The dazzling sunlight instantly illuminated the night, dispelling all shadows. Then, as if controlled by some unseen force, the sun rapidly plummeted again, hurtling directly towards the area where twilight and night intertwined.
Libertas's gaze followed the brilliant and intense light. The photos he had seen in the news and secret reports were far less shocking than the scene he was witnessing in person.
This is real, the sun falling.
I think Director Yan seems to be in a bad mood right now.
[Last time, I saw the setting sun from Yanju's perspective; this time, seeing it from Libertas's perspective, I realized it's real!! The shock is beyond imagination.]
Humans are so insignificant.
Libertas finally understood why no one from the Sky City Bureau of Alien Affairs had been able to leave the bureau's territory before.
Under the oppressive heat of the scorching sun, she had almost no strength to escape and could only watch helplessly as the sun set.
Just as the sun was about to blaze up the tower of the central cathedral in the Emerald City, a bright halo suddenly appeared in Libertas's field of vision.
"God said, 'Protect us.'"
Unlike the intense heat of the sun, it carried a touch of coolness.
As soon as the words were spoken, the world seemed to freeze for a moment.
The blazing sun's intense rays were contained by an invisible barrier, unable to advance even an inch. The once overwhelming, inescapable flames were now gently blocked by this barrier. The barrier acted as a shield, protecting the entire city while simultaneously keeping the oppressive sun at bay.
It also covers the boundary.
Libertas felt a lightness in his body; the crushing heaviness that had almost overwhelmed him vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable sense of security.
She blinked.
Then they discovered that the city that had just covered half of Emerald City had disappeared again within the light curtain.
All that remains is the empty, seemingly erased half of the original Emerald City site.
