Chapter 7080: Transaction
East of Tivian, over the vast waters of the East Prit Sea, the huge storm that had originally stretched for thousands of kilometers was now shrinking rapidly, with the original eye center shrinking. The increasingly concentrated and fierce storm stirred up an even more turbulent tide, and the violent storm and waves roared and roared in an increasingly narrow space, as if it was a doomsday scene.
"What... is this?" Harold, who was suspended in the sky above the clouds, couldn't help but say, with eight spikes appearing on the edges of his pupils as he looked at the storm below. Beside him, Spring, who had the same eyes, responded.
"I don't know...but the range of this wind is getting smaller and smaller now. It looks like it will disappear soon. This is our chance."
Spring said this, and then he and Harold beside him continued to watch the range of the storm shrinking smaller and smaller, until it finally shrank to a completely non-existent size.
At this moment, Harold and Spring's expressions suddenly became serious. Together, they stirred up the storms around them and swooped down from the sky, rushing straight to the original center of the storm. While charging, they began to condense powerful wind blades, preparing to fight again with the petite knight they had fought before.
In their opinion, the originally terrifying and huge self-storm had become smaller and smaller and even disappeared directly. This most likely meant that the ability of that knight had reached its limit at this moment and he could not sustain such a huge storm. Now the opponent should be in a weak period with his strength exhausted, which was their opportunity.
With this idea in mind, Harold and Spring dived down at high speed in the powerful gale, wanting to make a final break with the enemy they had been entangled with before. After the dive lasted for a while, they finally saw the enemy.
The terrifying and violent storm has completely dissipated at this moment. Between the quiet sea and sky, a petite knight is floating there silently.
The exquisite and luxurious skirt-like armor almost covered the whole body, and the helmet with flying wings covered the face. Exquisite patterns were engraved on every detail of the armor. There was a pattern of whistling wind embroidered on the dark cloak. On the spear held tightly in his hand, the national emblem of Pritt fluttered in the breeze.
Floating silently on the sea after the violent storm, the petite knight stood motionless as if she was feeling something, until she sensed the dangerous movement from the sky, then she raised her head silently and looked at the oncoming enemy wind through her helmet.
Then, the knight moved the hand holding the spear and flag, and stomped it in the air in a floating posture. Immediately, the air around him was violently shaken, and a spherical shock wave immediately exploded around the knight's body, spreading rapidly in all directions. An extremely violent shock wave erupted from the knight indiscriminately in all directions, and the air was visibly distorted and expanded rapidly outward.
"boom!!!"
Amidst the loud roar that was half a beat slower, the sea surface that had been gradually calming down beneath the knight was shaken into a huge hemispherical shape by the impact from above. Above the knight, Harold and Spring, who were attacking from the sky, saw the impact that was like a high wall and covered the sky without any room to dodge. Their first reaction was to stop their bodies immediately and shoot the air cannons and wind blades that had been condensed in advance at their sides in one breath, colliding with the impact wall that was more exaggerated than the size of a mountain.
However, what Harold and Spring did not expect was that their wind blades and air cannons dissipated in an instant after hitting the huge impact wall, and they hardly weakened the impact wall effectively. In this way, Harold and Spring were hit directly by the impact wall that had expanded in front of them with incredible expressions.
How is it possible! Such a ridiculous scale and scope of the move, how could it have such strength! Spring and Harold thought in their hearts with such surprise. They were surprised to find that the move they concentrated their strength on could not compete with the impact of the large-scale and all-round cover move on some areas.
When the knight's impact wall hit the invisible wind shield around Harold and Spring fiercely, the wind shield could not withstand the impact and shattered violently. Harold and Spring themselves were hit by the impact and were blown away for a long distance. They spit out blood one after another, and their bodies were covered with cracks from the cracks of the rock flesh.
Seeing Harold and Spring being knocked away, the petite knight did not say anything, but waved his hand lightly. All of a sudden, a huge and extremely strong wind column blew down from the sky, and directly hit Harold and Spring who were originally adjusting themselves in the distance. Under the pressure of the huge airflow, the two of them had almost no room for resistance and were pressed down by the airflow and blasted into the sea. While splashing huge waves, they were pressed into the depths of the sea, into the dark deep sea.
When the waves dispersed, the sea and sky returned to peace again. After being hit directly into the deep sea, Harold and Spring were unable to recover immediately. After initially dealing with the obstacles, the knight turned his gaze to the west, to the invisible direction on the other side of the sea.
Finally, amid a burst of strong wind and the shaking of the sea, Anna suddenly took off, broke the sound barrier in an instant, and flew away in the direction of Tivian.
At this moment, Anna, who had received more power from Dorothy and was conferred the title of Protector of the Country, and received more legal support from Pritt, absorbed the power of the entire hurricane. Her strength had made an extremely terrifying leap. The power Anna now possessed was enough to profoundly affect the battle currently taking place in Tivian.
…
Eastern coast of Plitvice, Tivian.
In the huge city that is trapped in sleep, a battle far beyond the common sense of ordinary mortals is going on continuously. Millions of people are facing the danger of destroying everything in their peaceful dreams.
The illusory dream forest in the sky still exists. In the depths of the dreamy giant tree forest, the holy cocoon of purity, which seems to be the center of all dreams, is entangled there, attracting the most loyal believers to make a pilgrimage.
With its huge insect wings spread out and its deformed and twisted ugly body dragged behind it, Gu Mian, who was infinitely close to being a complete apostle, was now flying towards the Dream Heart at the top of the sky. Like a moth that flew into a flame, it was flying forward steadily and firmly, unwaveringly, at the cost of burning its own life.
Its pilgrimage is unwavering, and as it continues to rise, it will completely break away from reality again, return to the dream, return to the center of its faith, and under the cover of divine power, no force can stop it.
At this moment, in this huge Tivian, not all people have fallen into a deep sleep. In addition to those extraordinary people who are active on various battlefields in Tivian, fighting between Dorothy and the Eight Peaks of Black Dream, there are also some other people who are staying out of the matter and are closely and continuously observing the movements on the battlefield.
In the northern suburbs of Tivian, at the east gate of the Royal Holy Crown University, in the beautiful and livable Green Shade Town, the gate of No. 37.
At the door of this seemingly ordinary residence, a girl wearing a loose home nightgown, barefoot slippers, with messy short gray hair and glasses was standing here, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, looking at the sky of Tivian at the moment, looking at the psychedelic sky above, looking at the holy cocoon deep in the dream of the sky, and couldn't help but frowning slightly.
"Wow... spectacular..."
With her usual lazy look, Beverly stretched out her hand and scratched her head. A trace of sadness emerged between her brows. She drank the coffee in her hand, then leisurely walked back to her home, put the coffee cup on the coffee table, rubbed her shoulders, making a clicking sound, and squinted her eyes.
“This is really… troublesome…”
…
“This is… really… troublesome…”
On another side, in the low sky somewhere over the city of Tivian, the giant dragon Dorothy was riding was spreading its wings and gliding continuously in the air, its thoughts revealing an incomparable solemnity.
After Gumia entered the Apostle's body, Dorothy had been trying to stop it, but it was useless. Now Gumia relied on the divinity of the moth and was very difficult to interfere with.
Under the influence of the Moth's divinity, Dorothy is now unable to look directly at Gumian, otherwise she will be deeply hypnotized and enter into an eternal sleep and unable to wake up.
Hypnosis has always been Gu Mian's forte, but compared to the previous hypnosis that relied on waves and scale powder, the current Gu Mian seems to be able to directly rely on visual links and hypnotize people directly through visual signals, making it impossible for people to cope with and defend against it. Now Dorothy can't even raise her head to look at Gu Mian, let alone stop it.
Fortunately, Dorothy can now test other detection methods to conduct tests.
…
In a forest on the eastern outskirts of Tivian, at this moment, there is an old man who looks extremely weak and is wearing the uniform of the Pratt Army sitting on a tree here. His expression is full of confusion and bewilderment, as if he has a little idea of what is happening.
"You mean... I was just corrupted by the power of the evil god? So I flew to the capital uncontrollably to cause destruction, and you came here to stop me on the king's orders, right?"
With a puzzled tone, Pritt's Field Marshal, Kent couldn't help but speak as he looked at the enchanting and beautiful woman in front of him, and the other party answered with a smile.
"Dang, the entire Pritt is in crisis now. I have been entrusted by your king to help you deal with the difficult incidents at hand. This is your king's medal. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this."
As she spoke, Adele took out an exquisite royal medal and asked Kent to come in to show it. After looking at it, the weak Kent hesitated for a while, and then nodded in a trance, as if he believed what Adele said.
After the ceremony based on the Crown of the Moon was held on the Twilight Shadow, the influence of Mirror Moon in the Tivian region could not help but increase greatly, and the influence that originally belonged to the Spider Queen was suppressed to a certain extent. Not only King Charles IV, but also Field Marshal Kent, who had broken into the city of Tivian and was originally under the control of the invaders, temporarily returned to normal and ended the battle with Adele.
Holding the medal sent from Charles IV, Adele took advantage of the moment when Kent had just woken up, was weak and somewhat confused, and used her ability slightly to make the other party easily believe her words. Seeing that Kent did not doubt her at this moment, Adele continued to speak.
"Your Excellency Marshal, Tivi is in danger now. We need your strength to fight against the evil god together."
Adele said this to Kent solemnly. After listening to what Adele said, Kent paused slightly, and then he couldn't help but respond.
"Okay, I believe what you said and I will help you, but I'm a little weak now and can't exert my full strength."
"It's okay. I don't need you to fight now." Adele responded while looking at Kent in front of her. Then she pointed her finger at the sky and continued speaking.
"There is some kind of huge life form flying in the sky above Plit right now. I want you to use your ability to detect its voice and confirm its location. Its wings are very large and the noise it makes is also very loud. With your power, it should be easy to hear its voice.
"Pay attention, you can only rely on listening, you must not look at it, now do not look at the sky."
With a serious look on her face, Adele looked at Kent in front of her and asked him to say "yes". After listening to Adele's words, Kent thought about it for a while and nodded.
"A giant creature flying over Tivian? Well, I'll try to listen..."
As he spoke, Kent slowly closed his eyes, using his ability to sense the wind to listen to the unusual movements above Tivian.
However, just as the listening had just begun, a shocking situation occurred. While listening, Kent began to stagger and fall down, and instantly fell to the ground unconscious, lying motionless for several days.
Adele couldn't help but frown at the scene in front of her. Then, after a slight sigh, she immediately used the information channel to communicate with the distant place and report the situation here.
…
"Hearing is also unable to sense the Gumian..."
Flying low in the sky, Dorothy, who was transformed into a giant dragon, murmured in a dull voice, her expression becoming more and more serious.
Just now, Dorothy instructed many spy monks on the Twilight Shadow to use a series of instruments and facilities on the Holy Steel ship to conduct all kinds of detection on Gu Mian except direct vision, including radar scanning of "lights", mirror refraction observation, indirect observation by puppets, spiritual detection, observation using spiritual resistance glasses, release of fog to blur observation, etc.
However, none of these observation methods worked, as they were all affected by the divinity of the moth on Gu Mian's body.
All detectors, including the "light" radar, will go into hibernation and shut down after detecting the Gumian, and cannot be turned on again. Other spies who use any other indirect observation methods, whether they are looking through a mirror, through protective glasses, through fog, or by manipulating a meat puppet to let the puppet see, will be hypnotized and fall asleep immediately, with the speed difference being less than a second. People who watch from the puppet's perspective, not only the puppet, but also the operator who is linked to the puppet's vision will be affected.
No matter what method is used, whether direct or indirect, no matter what preventive measures are used, as long as one attempts to observe the current Gumian, they will be immediately hypnotized. Even machines and instruments that do not have spirits seem to be implanted with the corresponding concept and forced to shut down and hibernate themselves. This is just like the Spider Queen's divinity can force the concept of pain into non-living units, and the Moth's divinity seems to be able to do something similar.
After all observation attempts by the Twilight Devoted Shadow ended in failure, Dorothy now heard bad news from Adele. After listening to the Gu Sleep, the Storm Beyonder who had arrived at the destination also fell into a deep sleep, with no room for resistance at all.
"The divinity that Gu Mian possesses now is probably able to target any form of perception. As long as we sense it, we will probably be affected by the divinity and hypnotized!"
Floating on the edge of Dorothy's dragon's head, the black cat spoke anxiously after listening to Dorothy's words, and his words were also the summary of Dorothy's heart at the moment.
Any perception, not just vision. Dorothy is now unable to use any means of perception to sense the existence of Gumia, whether it is conventional senses such as vision, smell, hearing, and touch, or various extraordinary detections. All perceptions will become channels affected by the divinity of the moth, causing the perceiver to fall into a deep eternal sleep.
"What an unreasonable deity... Now, I can only rely on her..."
Dorothy thought so in her heart, then raised her head and looked towards the east where there was no Gumian. At this moment, she saw that the sky full of dark clouds was pressing down on the city with overwhelming force.
At the port in East City District, waves roared and hit the dock, shaking the ships moored at the dock. The howling wind blew from the sea, making the Pritt flag in the port area flutter. The originally clear sky over Tivian was now covered with dark clouds.
The wind, a violent storm carrying dense clouds blew from the sea, howling across the city of Tivian. In this strong wind that affected the entire city, all the flags were blown up, the trees began to sway in the wind, and a large number of World Expo souvenirs scattered on the ground in the city were blown high into the sky.
In a short period of time, the gale that swept across the city became more and more intense, and the whistling sound of the strong wind gradually covered up all other sounds. In this gale, the leaves on the trees began to be blown off, the roofs of the shops began to be overturned, the mud and gravel were blown into the sky, and some glass was blown into the small objects in the sky and shattered, mixed with a large amount of water vapor blowing in from the sea, carrying countless scattered small objects throughout the city of Prit. The entire eastern region of Prit began to rain in the raging gale, and a powerful storm enveloped the entire Tivian, and the visibility in the city began to drop sharply.
The hurricane made landfall, a phenomenon that should occur in areas with lower latitudes, but now it appeared on the streets of Tivian. The whole city was covered by strong winds and heavy rains, as if the whole city was facing a disaster. However, little did people know that the ground and low altitude of the city were only the edge of the disaster, and the real disaster was above the sky of the city.
As the howling gale and heavy rain swept across the entire Tivian, above Tivian, an extremely strong gale that was even more violent than the storm on the ground was blowing mercilessly, and a storm of destruction was coming from the sea, destroying everything in the sky.
If the wind on the ground is still a normal storm in the self-world, then the extreme wind with a speed of several kilometers above the city is not what should exist in the self-world. When the storm hits from the sea, the wind speed in Tivian's city and the wind speed in the sky are completely different. Although the wind in the city is not strong, it is still within the normal range. The wind speed in the sky is dozens of times that of the ground wind speed.
At this moment, the sky and the ground of Tivian have completely separated into two worlds. The earth-shaking roar and whistle of the high-altitude storm instantly overwhelmed the movement of the ground storm. Looking up at the sky from the ground, it was like seeing a "conveyor belt" that was moving at high speed in the sky of Tivian, extremely wide, occupying the entire sky. This "conveyor belt" suppressed the Mercedes-Benz that was constantly speeding over the entire city, making it impossible for people to catch up. Combined with the roar, it felt extremely oppressive, as if the sky of Tivian at this moment was like another world, or... a huge "creature" that was suppressing Tivian.
Gu Mian, who was originally flying in the sky of Tivian and was on his pilgrimage, was suddenly hit by such a strong wind. For a moment, the body of the apostle was unstable and was forced to deviate from the original route and was blown far away, unable to resist the attack of the exaggerated storm.
Seeing this, Gu Mian screamed silently, and then let its half-illusory and half-real body lean even more towards the illusory direction, allowing itself to ignore the storm more and continue its pilgrimage. It quickly stabilized its body, and in this strong wind, and these extremely abnormal stratified gales, there was not only the wind itself waiting for it.
Wind blades, dense wind blades, small and dense wind blades are densely hidden in the blowing gale. Millions of wind blades are sweeping together with the upper gale, cutting and destroying everything in the way. Under these hundreds of millions of spiritual wind blades, everything will be destroyed.
“——!!!”
In the silent tragedy, countless sharp cracks appeared on Gu Mian's huge body. Thousands of sharp blades slashed at Gu Mian from one side at the same time. Under the cutting of the extremely dense blades, the flesh on one side of Gu Mian's body burst open instantly, as if it was being minced in a meat grinder. The illusory body tissue was beaten into fine powder by the dense blades and then blown away by the wind.
At this moment, on the coast of Tivian, above the howling sea, a petite knight in armor, holding a flag, pointed in the direction of Tivian. With her storm army, the Protector of Pritt, Anna Field, finally arrived in Tivian, and immediately began to issue all storm orders to clear out the enemies in the kingdom!
Now the storm sweeping across Tivian was the work of Anna. Now she commanded the fierce and surging storm army to sweep across the sky above Tivian, attacking all enemies in the sky above the royal city. The weapons of her wind soldiers were ruthlessly cutting every inch of space above Tivian, leaving no corner untouched.
Since it is impossible to locate where Gumian is in the Tivian sky, the entire Tivian and the sky should be designated as the attack range, and indiscriminate and ruthless attacks should be given. In this way, even if the enemy cannot be sensed, it can still be hit. This is the strategy Dorothy gave to Anna.
