A battlefield near the capital of Lundberg.

Led by a flame javelin, a group of condensed red fireballs passed over a place full of corpses, weapons, blood and smoke, and landed on an area with simple fortifications, creating a series of explosions.

Watching the smoke rising and the flames spreading, Anderson brushed off the dust on his hands, turned his head and smiled at his assistant beside him:

"I don't know how long I can hold on...Do you have anything you want to leave behind? I can help write a suicide note."

As he wished, he saw the angry eyes of the "soldiers" around him. Their thoughts were so consistent.

However, the "soldiers" did not take action. Their eyes gradually calmed down and moved to other places.

"You didn't even respond to my provocation." Anderson raised his eyebrows and said, "This shows that you are planning a conspiracy."

Without waiting for the adjutant and the "soldiers" to respond, the hunter smiled and continued:

"You are planning to surrender, right? Do you want to protect your family and friends?"

Seeing a stream of eyes looking over, Anderson sighed and shook his head:

"You haven't been Beyonders for long. It's only when war breaks out that you can harvest the main ingredients for potions from the enemies, and become Hunters, Provocateurs, and Arsonists one after another. But you are still too immature when it comes to conspiracy.

"I'm curious, why don't you try to convince me to surrender? I don't think I'm usually very resolute, and I'm not a believer in the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'."

At this point, Anderson looked at his adjutant thoughtfully:

"Were the top brass on the other side completely enraged by me and ordered not to accept my surrender?"

The adjutant was silent for a few seconds and said:

"You already know everything, why are you still asking?"

All of a sudden, the nearby soldiers raised their right hands and pointed their palms at Anderson, showing a tacit understanding.

"If I don't ask, how can I be sure that everyone thinks the same way?" Anderson smiled without any panic.

He touched his stomach with his left hand and put his right palm into his pocket, searching for something.

At this moment, the sun in the sky suddenly expanded and became extremely huge. The scorching golden sunlight made it impossible for Anderson and others to open their eyes and think about anything else.

Then, an illusory tower appeared. Each floor of the tower was made up of thick books. On each book, there was a brass eye. The higher you went, the darker it was, and the more filled with madness, destruction, ominousness, and disaster.

The tower stretched into the sky, as if enclosing the entire world, including the huge sun.

…………

Backlund, in the luxurious villa of the Audra family.

All the vampires in this metropolis gathered here to prepare for the upcoming war.

Emlyn White, who had become an earl, stood by the window with his hands in his pockets, bathing in the light of dusk and night, watching his fellow tribesmen discussing current affairs with a little anxiety.

Suddenly, he was inspired and looked out the window.

In the garden, the withered yellow weeds turned green again and grew rapidly. Before long, they were as tall as a person.

Elsewhere in the city, some roadside trees that had not been affected by the previous bombing were madly absorbing nutrients from an unknown source. They grew taller and taller, and soon reached a height of several dozen meters, with thick branches and umbrella-like leaves.

These huge trees were connected to each other, half covering the sky of Backlund.

Many of the buildings have been crushed or entangled by branches and vines, and appear to have been abandoned for dozens or even hundreds of years.

In just seven or eight seconds, many places in Backlund turned into primeval forests.

…………

After passing through the open door and entering the darkness inside the Giant King's residence, Klein immediately noticed the "Silver Knight" secret doll in front of him, the "Star Staff" in his right hand, and the "Creeping Hunger" in his left palm.

There have been no abnormal changes in them for the time being, and the corresponding "Spirit Line" has shown no signs of corruption.

After confirming the situation in this regard, Klein turned his gaze to his surroundings and examined the environment.

This place was submerged in a darkness as thick as a substance. Nothing could be seen beyond five meters. The ground was made of gray-white bricks that looked like solid dusk, revealing nothing special about the extraordinary level.

After thinking for a while, Klein, with a smile on his face, reached his hand into the void, grabbed it, and tried to summon an angel from it.

The next second, he burst into laughter because he had lost the clear connection between himself and the mist of history.

This is why the historical pore image he summoned earlier lost contact after entering this area.

As he laughed, Klein suddenly turned around and walked towards the place he had come in from before.

"Sir, Mr. Sparrow, what are you going to do?" Derrick, who was also examining the restrictions on himself, asked in surprise.

Klein replied with a smile on his face:

"Now isn't the right time to explore here. I plan to come in later."

"You plan to summon a Sequence 4 historical projection and try to see if corruption and betrayal will occur after bringing it in?" Colin Iliad said thoughtfully.

Klein spread out his left palm and said:

"No one has stipulated that once you come in, you can't go out, and once you go out, you can't come back in."

Although Mr. World's words seemed a bit strange in this scenario, Derrick still felt that it made sense, because that was what the City of Silver did when it explored the surrounding areas. By going "in" and "out" again and again, and through repeated attempts, they gradually accumulated intelligence and details and eventually solved the problem.

Luo Weiya did not say anything, nor did she object. In her opinion, it was undoubtedly a good thing to make more preparations.

In the exploration of the future of Silver City, we must never be impatient.

After walking back a few steps, Klein suddenly stopped and laughed:

"It seems that the owner here doesn't want us to leave."

The tiny glimmer of light representing the gate had been swallowed up by the deep darkness and disappeared.

Colin Iliad looked around and said:

“We can only move forward.”

Seeing the Chief and Mr. World turn around at the same time, Derrick took a breath and raised his left hand, letting it emit circles of golden light, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

One by one, the huge pillars, so big that you can't see the tops and so big that five or six people can't hug them together, are partially revealed, partially outlined, and partially hidden deep inside, barely visible.

Derrick retracted his gaze and prepared to move forward with Mr. World and the Chief.

At this moment, he failed to see another familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Derrick's pupils suddenly dilated, and then, not too quickly, he turned his head to look for Elder Lovia who had just stood beside him.

This demigod who believed in the "True Creator" disappeared! He disappeared without a sound or a trace!

Klein and Colin Iliad noticed Derrick's abnormality and turned their eyes to that place at the same time. They found that Lovia, who was wearing a black robe with purple patterns, disappeared without any movement, as if she had evaporated into thin air.

Even with the "Fortune Teller's" spiritual intuition and the "Demon Hunter's" ability to detect the environment, at a distance of just a few meters, they were unable to detect when and how Lovia disappeared.

The arc of Klein's mouth became a little bigger. Without hesitation, he changed his mind and let his spirit enter the gray fog and merge with the crimson phantom at the position of "The Fool".

Next, he turned his gaze to the crimson star that symbolized the "sun," hoping to find clues through "true vision."

However, everything was still obscured by the deep darkness, and nothing was revealed, just as Klein had predicted before entering the Giant King's Palace.

Without giving it any more thought, Klein immediately returned to the real world.

In that three or two seconds, only Derrick and the "Silver Knight" secret doll were left by his side.

The Chief of Silver City wearing silver armor is also missing!

"What happened just now?" Klein asked with a warm smile.

Derrick looked at him in astonishment, confusion, and panic:

"Didn't you see it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow beneath Derrick suddenly came to life, rapidly extending upwards, enveloping him and the sunlight he was emitting.

When the shadow completely covered Derrick, it merged with the surrounding darkness and could no longer be distinguished from it.

Klein originally raised the black cane, intending to stop the mutation from happening, but in the end, he did nothing and just watched with a smile on his face.

After a few seconds, he noticed that his body was getting darker and lighter in the deep darkness, as if it was melting into the environment.

Klein also did not try to save himself. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he looked at it with his head shaking slightly.

After his figure completely disappeared, his sight changed instantly:

The darkness disappeared, and the gray-white bricks, the surrounding walls and the huge pillars were clearly visible, covered with a layer of shadow that was neither thick nor thin;

Outside the window, there was no sun, no moon, and no stars, but a faint light was sprinkled in, making the entire palace look gloomy, dim, and deserted;

In the deepest part of the palace, there stood a very light shadow, like a curtain;

Lovia, Colin Iliad, and Derrick, who had been missing before, stood not far away, observing the environment carefully, as if they had come to another world.

"Unfortunately, my secret doll can't come in." Klein raised the "Star Staff" in his hand and said to Derrick and others with a smile.

His nonchalant attitude and the Chief's calm demeanor quickly calmed Derrick down and he was no longer so frightened and panicked.

Colin Iliad nodded slightly and was about to express his guess when he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned to look towards the deepest part of the palace.

Klein, Derrick, and Lovia performed similar actions at slightly different times.

In the deepest part of the palace, the faint shadow disintegrated and disappeared, revealing the steps belonging to the giant and the iron-black throne at the top of the steps.

Sitting on the throne was a man with shoulder-length black hair that was slightly curled. His eyes were covered with shadows, and his specific features were extremely blurry, making it difficult to see clearly. Layers of phantom black wings hung down from his back, covering most of his body. His robe was dark black in color, wrapped with silver silk threads, engraved with complex patterns, and hung with gorgeous accessories.

At this time, the man rested his left elbow on the armrest, with his palm supporting the side of his face, and seemed to be sleeping.
