Deep in the moon's incomplete magic ring, inside the chaotic energy that looks like a nebula and dust, there is a temple made of pure white spiritual essence.
The so-called spiritual essence is a relatively stable soul power that has precipitated from chaotic energy. There are many types of it.
Ectoplasm is somewhat similar to the external elements. It can form various complex existences and will also be affected by the distortion of time and space, but the restrictions it faces are far smaller than those of the elements.
In fact, almost all existence in the void is made up of spiritual substances.
Including void life.
Look at the temple again.
Its appearance is very simple, similar to the long house with a sloping roof in the mortal world, but the sloping roof is extended on all four sides and supported by thick columns.
At the main entrance of the temple is a tall and long staircase with a row of exquisite sword-holding sculptures standing on both sides of the staircase.
The sculpture seems motionless, but it exudes a fascinating aura of power, as if it can come alive at any time.
At this moment, at the entrance of the temple, on the platform at the top of the steps, stood a tall man with a gaunt face and wearing a simple dark blue robe. He was none other than Dritan, the Lord of Truth.
On the ground in front of him, there were three short, ugly monsters with distorted faces.
If you just look at the three weirdos, you can see that they are quite big and strong, but compared with the tall Druitan, who has a large number of power runes looming around his body, they suddenly become three insignificant little ghosts.
Druitan put one hand on his waist and held a dark green branch in the other, nodding at the head of a 'little devil' on the far left that was covered in black smoke.
A ray of emerald green light penetrated into the little ghost's head, and the little ghost trembled, not daring to resist.
"Plague Messenger Dorot, I order you to go to the Glorious Empire on earth and spread the plague everywhere in the mortal world, so that the mortals of the Glorious Empire will die in agony and wailing."
"Yes, the great Lord of Truth."
The little ghost emitting black smoke knocked his head hard on the ground, and then turned into a ball of extremely dense black light. It quickly left the temple and rushed towards the distant plane world.
Because of this action, the imp revealed his true power, which was a legendary 3 void demon.
In the mortal world of the past, such a demon could easily plunge a country into chaos.
But now times have changed.
Dritan didn't ask this guy to cause much actual damage to the Glorious Empire, he just hoped that he could spread more plagues in the mortal world to make the situation more chaotic so that it would be easier for him to do things.
Of course, a single Legend 3 demon is not enough, as once caught, it can be easily killed by today's Mortal Empire.
Then, Druitan pointed the dark green branch at the second imp, who was taller and stronger, and whose strength reached Legend 4.
"Famine Messenger Asarai, I order you to go to the Glorious Empire on earth and kill the crops and weeds growing in its fields and the trees on its hills. In short, all plants must wither."
This legendary demon Asarai was the nightmare of the ancient times on the plane of Dritan. Later, he lost interest in the mortal world and lived in the Moon Circle.
Life was going well until he met Dritan and became his prisoner.
In fact, this was the case for all three demons present.
Asarai hadn't paid attention to the situation in the mortal world for a long time, so he didn't quite understand Druitan's orders.
"Master, using the Withering Technique on a large area requires a lot of energy. Why not just use it on the crops? Why waste energy on trees and weeds?"
Druitan wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he was too lazy to say more because these demons were just consumables.
"Do as I say, Asarai!"
"Yes, Master."
Asarai complied respectfully, then transformed into a ball of deep purple light and left the temple.
Finally, there is a demon with the strongest power, reaching Legend 5. The human form it transforms into is a small giant with curly horns on his head, dim red eyes, and a lion's tail.
"Sagakar the Doombearer, I order you to go to Metasilin, the capital of the Glorious Empire, to find those lone mortals and let them die miserably in doom."
"Remember, we don't care about the number of deaths, but we must make sure they are tragic and let as many mortals as possible see this scene, so that they will feel fear and despair."
"Yes, Master."
The power of a Legend 5 demon has already taken shape, and the size of its soul has reached more than 500 times that of a mortal legendary powerhouse of the same level.
The surface of its body was also wrapped in a layer of dim red flame composed of countless soul runes, which looked quite terrifying.
In the mortal world of the past, such a powerful demon could easily cause a horrific catastrophe. If its brain was good enough, it could even easily destroy a plane world that was not guarded by a legendary wizard.
But times have changed.
Druitan watched the great demon go away, and silently said in his heart: "I hope you can live longer."
Although this demon is the most powerful, the place he goes to is also the most dangerous.
He was not at all sure how long the other person could live.
After standing in front of the temple for a long time, Druitan turned around and returned to the temple hall.
The hall was very empty, except for a tree emitting emerald green light at the very top.
The tree is rather small in size and has a very primitive shape. It has no leaves, but on its branches hang two strange fruits, each as big as an adult's head, with runes surrounding them.
Druitan walked to the tree, raised his hand and carefully picked a fruit, put it to his mouth, but did not eat it. Instead, he whispered some vague mantras.
The recitation lasted for a very long time, about half an hour.
At the same time, the strange fruit was constantly changing, and eventually it turned into a person exactly like Dritan.
At first glance, it is difficult to tell the real from the fake; even the aura of power is exactly the same.
The only difference is the expressions of the two people. One is as dull and rigid as a sculpture, while the other is alive.
When this Dritan appeared, the real Dritan sat on the floor of the hall, feeling a little proud.
"This soul fruit is really a good thing, but it's a pity that there are only two."
He didn't make these himself, but Adela helped him make them. There are only two of them, and they will be gone once they are used up.
He immediately closed his eyes.
After a while, Dritan's face showed an expression like that of a living person, and the rune light surrounding his body became lively, becoming exactly the same as the real Dritan.
Afterwards, this 'Dretan' strode out of the temple, transformed into a ball of dark blue light, and quickly rushed towards the azure and dark blue magic circle in front of him.
Medasilin.
The wedding date is getting closer and closer. As the bride and the host, Queen Zhuoya naturally has to take charge of the security of the wedding.
The most important opponent is Dritan. In order to guard against his assassination, the soul fog covering Metasilin has become three times thicker.
After entering the fog, the void vision of any legendary strongman will become invalid, and all soul-related detection techniques will also fail.
Then there is the security of the mortal world.
The huge capital city was divided into a large number of areas with streets as dividing lines, and each area was directly under the charge of a corresponding shadow guard officer.
All areas are patrolled 24 hours a day and use the latest lightning communicators for real-time communication.
Whenever any unusual situation occurred in the capital, even if it was just a minor incident like a drunk causing trouble or a shrew swearing in the street, the security team would arrive within three minutes at the longest.
If the security team can't solve the problem, then they will send the city garrison. If they still can't solve the problem, they will immediately upgrade to elite shadow guards.
Strive to nip all destabilizing factors in the bud.
Tourists from other places are also subject to severe restrictions.
It's better not to come.
If they insist on coming, they will be subject to a strict identity check and all their ancestors' bed-wetting history will be investigated.
As for tourists from other dimensions, they are completely prohibited.
The entire Metasilin, as well as the area within a hundred kilometers around the capital, have been set up with phase confinement arrays, and any phase transmission is strictly prohibited.
Of course, due to the lack of magical power, the confinement array is unable to confine high-level phase teleportation.
For example, the infinite phase transfer technique within the plane that Rosen currently masters can be basically ignored.
These security tasks were very tedious. After being busy for more than a month, Zhuoya felt annoyed and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"It sounds nice to say that we should take care of the self-esteem of the people, but in the end I am doing all the work and I am so carefree."
I have never heard of a woman marrying a husband and taking care of the entire wedding by herself, decorating the wedding room by herself, and even completing the wedding at her own home.
She couldn't help but contact her fiancé who was hanging around in Mehtasilin.
"Rosen, I'm tired and annoyed, I want to go out and play too!"
Rosen immediately responded: "Ahaha~~ Honey, you lasted a lot longer than I expected."
Zhuoya just vented her anger verbally, and then she immediately regained her senses.
"Forget it, I just said it casually, someone has to do the work."
"That's right. Someone has to do the work. Let my puppet do it."
The first half of the sentence was said by Rosen, but the second half was replaced by a female voice exactly like Zhuoya's, and came from the small compartment of the study.
"What's going on?"
"One benefit of having a strong soul is that your thinking speed is very fast and you can do many things at once."
"I have been watching you for so many days, and I have a rough idea of your style of handling government affairs. As long as nothing serious happens, my puppet can handle it completely, and no one will notice anything unusual."
"Oh~~ I feel a little envious after hearing this."
What Zhuoya envied was certainly not the puppet, but the benefits brought by the huge soul.
Rosen could naturally understand.
"If you want, I can make you a similar magic weapon, but it won't be as effective as mine."
"Because this is a soul magic weapon, it needs to be matched with the soul at a very deep level. But you know, it is difficult for a person to understand another person's soul."
Zhuo Yake didn’t have the obsessive-compulsive disorder of pursuing perfection, so she immediately said, “It’s better than nothing.”
She immediately began to look forward to it: "How long will it take to get better?"
"About three months. This thing is difficult to make."
"How many times bigger can that make the soul?"
"I guess it's about one to two thousand times. If it's bigger, you have to deeply match the soul, otherwise you won't be able to control it."
"After all, this thing is essentially a magical weapon."
The crown made for Zhuoya cannot be called the Supreme Crown, it should be called the "Glorious Crown" or the "Queen's Crown".
Zhuoya was already satisfied: "Then I will start counting the days and wait."
Since there are puppets to help handle government affairs, Zhuo Ya is happy to have some free time.
After confirming that the puppet did have sufficient capabilities, she put on ordinary casual clothes, sneaked out of the palace, and followed Rosen around the capital.
While walking on the street, Zhuoya stretched hard and looked excited.
"Ah~~~ This is the first time in my life that I can go shopping without any worries."
Rosen smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I just found a relatively powerful void demon in the city. Should we go and play with it?"
"Ah~~~ Stronger, how strong?"
"It's the great demon of Legend 5."
Zhuo Ya suddenly felt guilty: "Will this work?"
The legendary level of the void demon is different from that of mortals.
Maybe Legend 5 is not high, but it can’t withstand the opponent’s huge size.
Although Zhuoya's soul is now legendary 9.5, she feels that she can only protect herself when facing such a big demon.
She knew that Rosen could definitely deal with it, but the demon was in the void, and Rosen was a mortal after all. Although his soul was elevated by magic weapons, his soul could not leave the magic circle, and his movements were definitely not as flexible as those of the void demon.
Therefore, she felt that driving it away or even killing it should not be a problem, but 'tease it for fun' seemed too casual and could easily lead to accidents.
Rosen was now extremely perceptive and knew what Zhuoya was thinking as soon as he heard her words.
He smiled and comforted: "Of course I can do it."
Zhuoya was still worried: "Will Dritan notice that?"
I was worried that I would alarm Druitan and scare him away.
Rosen laughed again: "The soul fog in the capital is so heavy that he can't see anything. How can he detect it with his asshole?"
Zhuoya thought about it and couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh, honey, you are so rude."
"Why don't you try saying a few swear words, such as the most commonly used swear word in the Glorious Empire, 'Limoreita'."
The meaning of this word is probably similar to 'fuck your eighteen generations of ancestors' on Earth.
It's very rude, and usually if one person utters a curse, the other person will either fight back on the spot or defend the chastity of their ancestors with their fists.
Just listening to it, Zhuoya felt very embarrassed. Her cheeks turned red and she shook her head repeatedly: "I won't tell you."
Then another worry came to mind: "The soul fog is so thick, how can I find this void demon? I must not let him escape."
If this demon gets away, some citizens will definitely suffer as a result.
Rosen was prepared.
He took out a hat and handed it to Zhuoya: "Put it on."
"What?"
"The hat of insight is used to penetrate the fog of the soul."
Zhuo Ya put on the hat as she was told and found it quite nice looking. It was also similar in style to the hat on Rosen's head and they made a perfect match. She fell in love with the hat at once.
But I still couldn't hide the surprise in my heart.
"Ah? Soul fog can still be penetrated?"
Rosen patted the hat on his head and gave a half-seriously half-fictional explanation.
"The method to generate soul fog is to release soul fluctuations of multiple frequencies and then allow them to continue to spread in space."
"Then, as long as we find these soul fluctuations of specific frequencies and use some mathematical methods to eliminate them, we will be able to see the existence behind the fog."
Seeing that Zhuoya was still full of curiosity, Rosen immediately made a patch.
"The principle is simple, but the implementation is extremely difficult. It requires an extremely huge soul."
In fact, this is Lai Fu’s ability, which requires extremely huge computing power as support.
Therefore, only Rosen can see through the fog.
"Strictly speaking, I am sharing my vision with you through the Hat of Insight. Do you see it?"
Zhuo Ya nodded: "I see it, it's pretty clear, I can probably feel the area within a 2-kilometer radius, but it's worse than when there was no fog."
"The fog must still be having an effect. Do you see that void demon now?"
When everyone is blind and can only see 50 meters around, a radius of 2 kilometers is more than enough, but Lai Fu's limit can reach about 10 kilometers.
"I see it. It's in the void in the alley ahead, less than 500 meters away from us."
"Well, this is really a big demon. It's really huge."
The first time Zhuoya faced the Void Demon, she felt both excited and scared.
His body subconsciously trembled slightly, and one hand couldn't help but tightly grasp the corner of Rosen's clothes.
Her cautious nature made her worry again.
"Honey, will it alarm him if we just stare at him like this?"
She knew that demons were extremely sensitive, and it would be terrifying if this big guy charged towards them!
Rosen felt that Zhuoya at this moment was like a little girl watching a horror movie for the first time, which was very interesting.
He didn't have the habit of teasing little girls, so he immediately grabbed Zhuoya's hand and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Of course not."
"The soul fog completely obscured its perception. It couldn't see us at all. We are very safe."
Zhuoya was immediately relieved and at the same time felt that this matter was particularly interesting.
"Come on, let's go play with it."
"Okay~"
Zhuoya was no longer worried and followed Rosen with great interest.
