Chapter 712: Dark Moon Dragon
East of Putte, Tivian.
Above Tivian, a dark red storm began to blow continuously in the space, sweeping around, and the entire sky was gradually shrouded in a deep scarlet shadow, making people feel extremely depressed.
The phantom of the dream world that was originally suspended above Tivian was now becoming extremely distorted and unstable. It was visible to the naked eye that the forest scenery in the phantom was also changing rapidly. Dark red thorns broke out of the soil in the dream world one after another, extending upwards to entangle the giant trees one after another, as if they were parasitic plants that were about to strangle the giant trees one after another.
In the center of the phantom of the dream world, the originally pure dream cocoon was now covered with hideous dark red lines. The greedy and ugly spider bit its venomous fangs on it, as if it was sucking the nutrients from it.
"How... could this happen... The Queen of Pain... is beginning to devour the divinity of the Holy Cocoon... She wants to take the throne of the Lord of Dreams for herself. We must stop her immediately, otherwise this world..."
Beside Dorothy, the floating black cat was in extreme pain and struggle, looking at the giant dragon beside him and telling his warning. At this moment, he was gradually unable to speak normally.
However, facing the warning from the black cat beside her, Dorothy, who was still maintaining her transformation into a dragon, did not do anything immediately. Facing the Spider Queen sucking on the holy cocoon, she did not immediately fly to the Dream World to try to stop it. At this moment, she seemed to be still waiting for something.
In silence and reticence, Dorothy turned her head and looked at two places. One was the main venue on the Plaza of Nations not far away in East Divian, and the other was far away in the main continent. That place was facing the center of the main continent, which was the direction of Mount Saint.
…
Time went forward a little, and when the fog that enveloped the entire Tivian was about to dissipate, Gregor, who had been rushing to the main venue of the eastern opening ceremony, finally got rid of the confusion of not being able to find a direction, and tried his best to go to the direction guided by the "bachelor" in his mind to provide support.
Finally, at the critical moment, Gregor, dressed in a Security Bureau uniform, arrived at the scheduled scene. After seeing the girl who always seemed familiar running towards the Crystal Palace in a hurry, he acted decisively and intercepted the enemy who was about to attack the girl, who was originally the person he was supposed to protect.
Isabelle, the most famous princess of the Putt Kingdom at that time. Although Gregor had received information that the princess might be a threat on the day the war started, he was still very surprised until the moment he actually fought with her.
This surprise was not only reflected in the fact that Isabel was indeed a pawn of the evil god, but also in the strength that Isabel possessed. In the past, Gregor had heard that Princess Isabel was an extraordinary person but her rank was not high, only at the level of an apprentice. But now that they were fighting, Gregor found that the other party was far from being as simple as an apprentice... and even far from being as simple as an ordinary extraordinary person!
Manipulating wind blades for long-range shooting, transforming into bats to escape sneak attacks, creating phantom bodies to confuse enemies... These various extraordinary abilities seem to belong to different branches. At this moment, they are miraculously combined together at the same time and appear on the same extraordinary person. Moreover, they seem to be very close to the level of chalk. This kind of enemy is the first time Gregor has encountered it.
With a cruel and unusually indifferent expression, Isabel continued to attack Gregor, using all kinds of swift and deadly moves at once. Gregor was completely suppressed from the beginning of the battle and could hardly fight back.
Now, Greg is also a white vampire with the ability to transform into a bat, and can barely tangle with this outrageous enemy for a while, but this entanglement can't last long. During a process of escaping by transforming into a bat, Greg was seized by Isabel and almost killed half of the bats in one go, and he was almost killed. At this time, Dorothy had someone use the Moon Corona to start a ritual in the chapel of the Twilight Pious Shadow, which amplified the influence of Mirror Moon and greatly reduced the control of the Spider Queen in Tivian.
The Moon Crowning Ceremony naturally affected Isabel as well, but unlike the other Pute royals who were influenced by the Spider Queen in Tivian, Isabel did not immediately get rid of the Spider Queen's influence after the Moon Crowning Ceremony. Instead, she would occasionally experience symptoms that seemed like headaches during the battle, as if she was struggling with some kind of will.
It seems that for Isabel, the Spider Queen's influence on her is much greater than that on some other royal family members, so much so that after the Moon Crown Ceremony, Mirror Moon's influence on Tivian still cannot completely get rid of the Spider Queen...
However, although the Moon Crown Ritual did not successfully help Isabelle escape the Spider Queen's control, it did seriously affect Isabelle's offensive movements, making the release of her various abilities extremely sluggish. This also greatly eased Gregor's offensive pressure, allowing him to take a breather after half of his bats were destroyed and damaged.
After the Moon Crown Ceremony, Gregor was finally able to hold Isabel back with some difficulty, but this situation did not last long, and the worst situation occurred again.
After the incident somewhere in that distant and secret world, the Spider Queen's influence on Tivian's world once again skyrocketed, so that not only did Isabel immediately return to normal, but Gregor also had problems.
When the sky was being stained by dark red, millions of lives in the city of Tivi began to praise the name of the evil god in unison in a dream. The pain that was like a split head also burst out from Gregor's head. Countless fine whispers sounded in his ears for a while, and he felt that his spirit was being pierced by thousands of sharp needles. The pollution from the source of blood darkness seemed to have been extended to the lower end of the branch like this under the power increase of the Spider Queen this time...
“This is… ahhhhhh!!!”
Holding his head, Gregor almost instantly lost his fighting ability and fell to the ground, screaming in extreme pain. On the other side, Isabel almost immediately recovered her original state of being completely controlled by the Spider Queen. When her expression completely returned to its cold state in her trance, she stared at Gregor with fierce eyes filled with murderous intent.
Facing Gregor who had no ability to resist, Isabel tightly grasped the palace sword in her hand, pushed the fallen Gregor to the ground and rushed over at high speed, ready to give him the final blow.
But at this moment, another existence entered the battlefield. When Isabel was quickly pushing Gregor to launch an attack, countless soul fires suddenly lit up in the air. As the temperature around them dropped, countless soul fires appeared, following some kind of guidance, and quickly rushed towards Isabel and drilled into Isabel's body.
Nefernis, wearing a veil, a red dress and gold jewelry, was slowly descending from the sky. After completing the observation mission assigned by Dorothy, she immediately rushed to other places for support. The battlefield here was the place where manpower was most needed!
Motivating countless souls summoned from the front to guard Gregor, after Isabel took the initiative to approach, Nephonice attached them all to Isabel's body. With the support of countless souls, Isabel's movements were slightly delayed, but then she turned around and slashed her hand with a sword, attacking the souls in her body in the same way she attacked herself, causing them to leave her body one after another while screaming.
Seeing that Isabel was rapidly forcing out the souls in her body and was about to completely recover and move freely, Nephnesse's expression became serious, and she waved her hand. Then, at the moment when Isabel forced out all the dependent souls, Nephnesse guided another soul directly into Isabel's body. However, this time, Isabel was unable to force it out immediately.
Isabel stood there with her eyes wide open and trembling slightly. Using this slow movement, Isabel further used the spiritual rapier in her hand to pierce her arm, trying to force out the soul attached to her body. Although the soul seemed extremely unstable under Isabel's coercion and was at risk of collapse at any time, it was still struggling to hold on.
"Wake up... child... Despenser... you should not continue to be manipulated by the evil god like this..."
Inside Isabel's body, the soul that was dependent on her was speaking old words. This was the voice of Charles IV. What Nephnis had just guided out was the soul of Charles IV, who had just died!
"Get lost! Useless old thing..." Isabel gritted her teeth and uttered a few words in an evil and low voice. At this moment, with the support of the Spider Queen, Isabel was trying her best to expel the soul of the king she once loved. The soul of Charles IV could not last long under such expulsion.
At this moment, Neveu made a new move. Facing Isabel who was about to completely break free from her control, Neveu took out a wine glass decorated with a skull from her body with a very serious look, held it in front of her and let it go, and the wine glass floated safely in front of her. This was the "Silence" blessed object, the national treasure of Adus.
"Please, both of you!"
Looking at the Dark Light floating in front of her, Neveu murmured seriously. As soon as she finished speaking, two translucent figures slowly appeared behind her. One was a general wearing armor in the style of Northern Wu. The other was an old man wearing a colorful robe in the style of the New World and a feather crown.
These two people are Rahman, the former deceased soul of Adus, and Uta, a shaman of the Tupa tribe in the New World, who is a living soul that has left the body.
After the two souls appeared behind Nef, they immediately rushed behind Nef, and began to overlap and rely on Nef. Opposite to each other, the Hades Lamp in front of Nef began to emit a strange glow, and began to spin rapidly with a slight tremor. At this moment, dense patterns similar to the pattern of a magic circle appeared on Nef.
At this moment, Nefernis, with the help of the Lamp of Hell and the ritual of Rahman, the original owner of the Lamp of Hell, began to overload her own abilities. At the cost of severely damaging the Lamp of Hell, Nefernis was able to break through the limitations of her realm in a very short time and approach the realm of the red world.
"Two souls rely on each other... and merge together..."
As the Lamp of Hell spun faster and faster, Neveu's eyes, which looked serious, could not help but emit a strange light. With the help of a temporary breakthrough, Neveu began to rely on two different souls in her body at the same time. The abilities given to her by the two souls were also beginning to be integrated by her at this moment.
Suddenly, Neveu took a big step forward and suddenly stopped in front of Isabel who was about to break free completely. She put her hand on Isabel's shoulder and made contact with her. Then, Neveu spoke again in a deep voice.
"Bloodline spiritual communication...calling back the first soul!"
“Uh uh…”
Suddenly, under Isabel's feet, a huge and complicated "silent" magic circle appeared out of thin air, and a powerful spirituality burst out from it. A pale light exploded from the top of the magic circle, and combined with the extremely low temperature, it illuminated the surrounding scene with an eerie look.
Under Isabel's astonished gaze, in the magic circle, one after another, shadows slowly emerged and hovered around. These shadows had different faces, but they were all wearing similar luxurious clothes and robes, and wearing red crowns. Some of them were wearing simple armor. After being called out, they first looked around blankly, and after seeing Tivi's abnormal sky, they couldn't help but show a solemn expression in unison.
These shadows are the kings of the Hyacinth Dynasty of Putt and the secret-keeping kings of the Despenser royal family! Neveu combined the blood power from Rahman and the psychic power from Uta, and combined them to greatly strengthen the blood medium's blood psychic power. Through Isabel, she summoned all the past kings of Putt!
In the legends among the tribes of the New World, the Great Soul is the place where all souls are born and ultimately return. After anyone experiences various deaths in the mortal world, their soul will descend to the netherworld and accompany the Great Soul for return. Once reaching the Great Soul, the dead soul will rest here and be stripped of all memories. After returning to purity, they will have the opportunity to return to the world again and be reborn anew.
Therefore, in this reincarnation system, theoretically, people who have died long enough cannot be communicated with by spirits, because they may have been reincarnated into the human world again, although their souls cannot communicate with spirits. However, their "memories" can.
All the undead will have all their memories erased in the Great Soul, but these memories will not disappear, but will be recorded and stored in the Great Soul. Extremely powerful spiritualism can channel these memories from the Great Soul in the form of "spirits". These are the so-called memory shadows, which are almost the same as human undead and can serve as a special existence that can serve as a portrait of a person's past. Now, these ordinary kings who are channeled by Neveu are all memory shadows.
Of course, in order for Neveu to successfully communicate with enough former Ptolemy kings, Dorothy also asked Anna, who had just woken up, to give Neveu the identity of Ptolemy's historical secretary as the Protector of the Realm, so that she would have an identity as an interface to connect to the legal system of Ptolemy. Dorothy also relied on the power of the legal system to strengthen Neveu and increase her influence.
Although the source of Putian's legal theory seems to be polluted now, legal theory is ultimately an "enlightened" field, and this kind of pollution cannot spread and expand as quickly as the pollution of branch abilities themselves. As long as there is no "enlightenment" god, there will be no problems in the overall field of legal theory.
"Great ancient kings of Putin, you have seen it now, right? Your great enemy has stretched his claws to the throne of the wind, and the evil god is gnawing at this country. Now please fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to you by history, use the bodies of your descendants as a support, and complete the ceremony!"
Facing the Ptolemy kings floating slightly above the magic circle, Neveu spoke to them with a very serious look. The leading king, who was wearing armor, spoke in a questioning tone after taking a look around.
"From the current situation, the secret-keeping ritual has failed, and the enemy has obtained the secret that He wanted. In this case, is there any meaning to the ritual?"
"Yes, King Baldek, please believe me, even if the secret has been known, the ceremony still has meaning. Please share this body and begin the ceremony! The temple is over there!"
With a solemn look, Neveu looked at Baldekker in front of him and said, "The legitimate successor," after hearing Neveu's confident answer, Baldekker could not help but be silent for a while, then slowly floated himself up, holding Isabel on him, and the spirits of other former kings also followed Baldekker's action, and quickly leaned on Isabel one after another.
Finally, with the joint support of the former secret-keeping kings, Isabel was finally and slowly freed from the influence of the Spider Queen again.
Then, with the support of the kings and ancestors, Isabel fell into a brief silence. After the silence ended, she slowly raised her head and looked at the Crystal Palace not far away. Her eyes were mysterious, deep and complex, and the sound she made seemed to be a harmony of many different voices.
"Following the teachings of our ancestors..."
…
In the center of the main continent, on the top of Mount Shenglin, is the Holy Spirit Chapel.
While Tivian Neveu was in contact with Isabel and was summoning the spirits of the bloodline, in the magnificent chapel, there were only two Radiant Saints left on Mount Saintly Coming. Amanda and Kramar were still in the chapel, observing the situation in Tivian from afar.
With the help of the floor screen in the Holy Visitation Chapel that can display situations in distant locations, Amanda and Kramer are paying attention to Tivian's current situation. Seeing the dark red color covering the sky above Tivian, and feeling the extremely abnormal evil aura that is spreading around with Tivian as the center, Amanda and Kramer both revealed a hint of seriousness in their expressions.
At this moment, they could already see very clearly that Tivian's situation had not improved, and seemed to be getting worse.
"How come there is such a serious divine abnormality... Why is this happening? Don't the Holy War Center have a place to stay? What on earth has happened!?"
Looking at the bird's-eye view of Tivian on the screen in front of him and reading the extremely abnormal readings detected, Kramar frowned and said, while Amanda, who was standing on the other side, also looked at the scene in front of her with a serious expression.
"The Holy War Lords...maybe they encountered some kind of accident in the world, the kind that even affected communications...In short, it seems that they will not be able to catch up with Divian in time.
"Now that such a powerful divine anomaly has appeared in Divian, I'm afraid there is an outbreak of rut, which is much more serious than we predicted before..."
Looking at the scene on the screen below, Amanda spoke slowly and seriously, her eyes filled with solemnity at the moment. At this moment, she had realized that the severity of Tivian's condition was far beyond their previous expectations.
"We must send more people to Tivian immediately! Immediately! We can't leave the world at this moment!" Kramar continued, while Amanda on the other side retorted.
"Given Tivian's current situation, it is clear that there is interference from a higher-level divine being. Sending anyone below the gold rank now will be useless and will only lead to their deaths!"
"If you don't send anyone, do you mean to hand over Putin to the evil god? Who can take responsibility if the Holy See comes in the future?" Kramar retorted. Because the church has a strict rule that at least two cardinals must be left guarding Mount Saint at all times, the two of them cannot move now. If they don't even send combat forces below the gold level, it means that they have tacitly approved the evil god's actions and handed Putin over.
Under the premise that there is still a possibility that the Pope will come, Kramarque dare not give up Putin without doing anything. At least he must show his effort, send some people or even sacrifice some people to express that he has tried his best. There is no way to excuse Putin and thus reduce his responsibility.
On the other hand, Amanda's idea was much more direct. Now that Tivian was in such a situation with abnormal divine interference, sending people below the gold level would be simply suicide. In a situation where they were bound to lose, there was no need to send extra people to increase casualties.
In this way, Kramar and Amanda started a new round of disputes over whether to continue to send people to Tivian. At this moment, in another corner of the church, behind Amanda, the nun who had been kneeling on the ground with her eyes closed in a prayer posture seemed to sense something and suddenly opened her eyes.
Vanya hurriedly stood up from the ground, ran to the center of the chapel, and then interrupted the argument between Amanda and Kramer.
"Hoo... Your Excellency Amanda, Your Excellency Kramar! Please stop arguing! Please listen to me, I have a way to solve the current crisis in Putin!" Facing the two cardinals in front of her, Vanya spoke loudly with a slight breath. After hearing Vanya's voice, Amanda and Kramar paused, and then they all looked at Vanya who suddenly came up again.
"You heretic nun! Why are you still here! Get down! It's not time to hold you accountable!" Kramar said sternly to Vanya. On the other side, Amanda raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke bluntly.
"Vanya...tell me what you have to say?"
After hearing Amanda's words, Vanya ignored Kramar and spoke seriously again.
"Please... hand over the holy staff to me now. I will use it to resolve Putin's current crisis!" Vanya said solemnly, while turning her gaze to the other side. The luxurious and exquisite wooden scepter was still suspended in the air. After hearing Vanya's words, the two cardinals immediately showed different reactions. Kramar's anger was directly revealed on his face, and Amanda frowned slightly.
"You... want the Holy Staff?! Humph! Wishful thinking... As long as I'm here, you, a heretic, won't even think of touching the Holy Staff! Don't even think of using this opportunity to play any tricks. I will add a charge of coveting the holy object to your trial later!
"I don't believe your lies!" With obvious anger, Kramer pointed at Vanya with a very determined look. His firm attitude seemed to leave no room for compromise or negotiation.
Seeing Kramar's firm refusal, Vanya's face darkened. Then she turned her head and looked at Amanda on the other side, waiting for her reply.
At this time, Amanda frowned, and her expression did not seem to support Vanya...
"Sister Vanya... you must know that the Holy Staff is the most precious treasure left by the Holy See. It is extremely valuable. Not only you, but even us cardinals cannot use it easily..."
Amanda said this slowly. Hearing the obvious refusal implied in her words, Vanya's expression became even gloomier.
