Chapter 2470 The Final Sacrifice <TOC> Chapter 2472 Catastrophe
Translator: SumTLMan
The transformation of Number 03 was witnessed by everyone.
Physical destruction, consciousness dissolution, and now it’s the soul’s turn.
However, the transformation of her soul exceeded everyone’s expectations. Instead of shattering immediately, her soul merged with the Mysterious Fruit.
In the eyes of the onlookers——
The Mysterious Fruit, enveloped in a blood-red mist, suddenly fell from the “branch”, landing perfectly on the top of Number 03’s soul. It didn’t bounce off, but instead burrowed into her soul, eventually resting in her chest, transforming into a glowing red orb.
The metal structure behind the red glow was clearly visible.
It was like an artificial heart installed inside the soul.
As the Mysterious Fruit settled into Number 03’s soul, her previously somewhat lucid gaze began to fade into a blank whiteness, her consciousness completely stripped away.
With the disappearance of spiritual light, the Mysterious Fruit started to emit a faint red mist from her chest, spreading throughout her soul body.
In no time, the red mist had enveloped her chest and abdomen.
Then, it spread upwards along her neck, coloring her skull, facial features, and the hair simulated by her soul power, in red.
At first glance, she resembled a blood demon from the Abyss.
The red mist continued to spread, seemingly intent on permeating her entire soul body with its essence.
“Shiuro, Lord of the City, what is happening?” Magnificus De Pawel looked at the increasingly “red” soul body in the distance, puzzled, “Why did her soul not shatter but merged instead?”
The Lord of the City, transformed into a young Pyro, didn’t answer Magnificus De Pawel’s question but quietly observed the changes from afar, squinting his eyes. From his fleeting glance, it was apparent he had thought of something.
Seeing that he couldn’t get an answer from the lord, Magnificus De Pawel turned to the Enforcer.
The Enforcer pondered for a moment and shook his head, “I’m not sure, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
The birth of a disorderly object, not just the Enforcer, but few in the Orderly Guild have witnessed. Moreover, even if someone had, it’s unlikely they could discern anything since each disorderly object is unique, manifesting through the sacrifice of life forms, energy, and matter in disorder for the first time.
The Enforcer added, “However, I feel that her soul body, with the spread of the red mist, seems to faintly resonate with the Mysterious Fruit.”
That is to say, her soul was now emitting a strong mysterious power like the Mysterious Fruit, generating an ‘attraction’ and ‘pulling’ effect.
As if she, too, had become a disorderly object.
Or in other words, she has already become a part of the disorderly object.
While the Enforcer spoke, Angel, standing behind him, gazed at the continuously transforming soul, with an image surfacing in his mind——
It was a dark spirit, three meters tall with huge bull horns atop its head, a figure both graceful and fiery, with raven-black wings on its back and wielding a black trident.
This dark spirit appeared in the final stages when Angel inadvertently triggered the mysterious alchemy within Black Castle.
The spirit emanated a strong aura of the mysterious.
At that time, Angel did not understand what this dark spirit was, but he somehow knew that if this spirit were to merge into the revolver he was crafting, then the revolver would undoubtedly become a Mysterious Object. This dark spirit was the key to his entry into the mysterious realm.
However, the end result was that the dark spirit only partially merged into the revolver, becoming what is now known as the Prelude of Reincarnation. The other half was taken by Isabelle, stabilizing her soul avatar.
Regardless of the past outcomes, the reason Angel’s mind conjured up the image of that strange spirit was because he faintly felt that Number 03, in the distance, seemed to be undergoing the same process.
However, the strange spirit from before could be called the Mysterious Spirit.
And Number 03, at this moment, perhaps should be referred to as——the Spirit of Disorder.
According to past experiences, once the Spirit of Disorder takes form and then merges into that Mysterious Fruit, that might be the moment when the disorderly object is born.
At that time, the scene there would undoubtedly be filled with an explosion of information so beautiful. However, Angel, having previously exhausted himself observing the mysterious structures, found the disorderly information to be even more chaotic, making it virtually impossible for him to conceptualize, forcing him to regretfully give up.
In Angel’s distant thoughts, Number 03’s hands were already enveloped in a blood-red mist.
Now, only her legs, remaining below the waist, retained a semi-transparent soul state.
Even so, Number 03’s soul was already emitting an unprecedentedly vast and mysterious aura. Even if not within the mist, in far more distant seas, one could still feel the burst of this mysterious aura.
At this point, even without Angel’s explanation, the others understood that the moment the red mist enveloped Number 03’s entire soul body was the time of the end.
“When she completely turns into a blood-red soul, the disorderly object will be born,” said the Enforcer, his voice soft yet with a determined tone.
“The legs have already begun, it seems, it won’t be long now. Shiuro~”
Gruz De Weld didn’t speak, only his gaze quietly fell on the two air shields above Number 03’s soul body. The moment the blood-red soul was born, he would be the first to break the barrier of the air shield and get firsthand information about this disorderly object.
Everyone watched Number 03’s soul, silently waiting for the final moment to arrive.
And while they were not paying attention, Angel quietly shifted his gaze towards the Void Traveler Woof Woof and the spotted puppy within it.
He first gave Woof Woof a look, meaning to ask if it was prepared for anything.
However, Woof Woof, not being Toby, had no rapport with Angel. It had no idea what Angel wanted to say, simply shuddered slightly to acknowledge its presence.
Angel: …So your shudder, is that a polite way of acknowledging you saw my look?
Unable to rely on Woof Woof, Angel then turned to the spotted puppy.
The spotted puppy was a headache for him. However, it must be said that the spotted puppy seemed to understand him quite well. For instance, at the banquet in the Doreen Flower Garden, when Angel was pondering how to resist the terrifying aura of those Nightmare Plane creatures, the spotted puppy created a barrier around him and Angel, allowing Angel to maintain a cool demeanor at the banquet.
Anyway, at that banquet, Angel felt a tacit understanding with the spotted puppy.
After mentally preparing himself, Angel gave the spotted puppy a “you and I are of one mind” look.
However, the spotted puppy’s response was… a series of bubbles burbled out, followed by an eye roll, and then it pretended to drown.
Angel took a deep breath to suppress the frustration in his heart.
Turning back to look at the Enforcer and others, he saw their attention was entirely on the distant Number 03. Angel thought for a moment, then grabbed Haralenne hanging by his ear, and without waiting for a response, forcefully pressed it to his forehead.
Haralenne may not be very smart, but when it made contact with Angel’s forehead, it understood his intentions and quietly extended a tendril into Angel’s forehead.
The void network, connection successful!
This meant that Angel could now communicate with Woof Woof and the spotted puppy directly.
Actually, Woof Woof could talk, but this was obviously not the time for it to do so. If it didn’t speak, it was just a somewhat chubby Void Traveler; once it spoke, it would certainly attract the attention of Gruz De Weld, complicating matters.
Therefore, Angel chose the void network. Although this action was risky, he had no choice; he needed to know their plan.
“Woof Woof, what stage is your plan at now, and what are you going to do next?”
Woof Woof: “Plan? What plan?”
Angel: “…Aren’t you going to capture someone to threaten them?”
Woof Woof: “Oh, that’s up to the lord.”
The “lord” in Woof Woof’s mouth was the spotted puppy, currently performing a drowning act inside its body.
Angel also speculated that the spotted puppy might be very powerful, but could it be powerful enough to forcibly capture a split consciousness of Gruz De Weld?
Previously, Angel had only heard of the legendary wizards’ strength but had not personally experienced it. The recent use of the Levitating Wall by Gruz De Weld had left a profound impression on Angel. It was a power that could not be described in words, termed “might.” Faced with such might, Angel could hardly imagine what the tiny spotted puppy could do against it.
Or, suggest a temporary change of plans, Magnificus De Pawel is also a good threat target?
Since Gruz De Weld is so fond of Magnificus De Pawel, perhaps capturing it could also achieve Woof Woof’s goal?
Angel tries to suggest.
And the response given by Woof Woof was, “I don’t know, maybe I’ll have the lord talk to you.”
After saying that, Woof Woof switched to the conversation channel between Angel and the spotted puppy.
Angel once again expressed his point of view.
Angel: “Should we…”
Spotted puppy: “…glug glug glug…”
Angel: “Actually, I think…”
Spotted puppy: “…Woof Woof, glug… Woof Woof…”
Angel clenched his fist. Could this conversation go on?
Angel already felt very tired, just leave them be. Whether it’s Woof Woof or the spotted puppy, neither was trouble-free. He might have been injected with chicken blood to abandon the earnest persuasion of his mentor Sanders and return to the center of the Mist Zone without looking back.
Well, this time was a mistake.
Angel didn’t want to deal with these two little guys anymore, he pulled Haralenne from between his eyebrows and put it into his spatial bracelet. He didn’t want to see any Void Traveler now.
Angel silently glanced at the Pyro Gruz De Weld, recalling what he had said before, could those words deduce his personality? After all, once the spotted puppy and Woof Woof left, he still had to make a living under this lord.
Perhaps, he not only had to make a living for himself but also had to fight for the rights of the spotted puppy and Woof Woof.
So tiring.
…
While Angel was performing a solo drama in his heart, the soul of Number 03 was finally completely dyed by the blood-red mist.
At this moment, a terrifying power instantly swept across the entire sea zone.
Time seemed to stop under the influence of this power.
This power was spreading rapidly, its spreading speed had already exceeded the limits of what the wizards of the Southern Region could understand. Because, in an instant, this power had crossed countless kilometers…
Thousands of kilometers away from the Mist Zone, on a continent, the Magic Eaves Corridor. At this moment, almost everyone in the dozens of duchies of the Magic Eaves Corridor was stunned for a moment, they heard a kind of inexplicable call, as if calling them to a certain place. Although they didn’t know where it was, they put down what they were doing, walked out of their houses, onto the streets, and walked in a certain direction like zombies enchanted, towards somewhere.
On the Continent of Feran, at a branch of the White Shell Shipping Company, Bismarck, who sat in surveillance here, had grown quite bored. He missed his days in Sky Mechanical City dearly, even longing for the teachings filled with “care” from Mentor Sabo.
Every day, he would sit by the window of the high tower, watching ships come and go in the harbor, and the crowds moving about like ants. He felt like a god, overlooking all beings. This was his only pleasure in this place.
However, today, he noticed something odd; everyone in the harbor suddenly stopped.
Some were still carrying goods, nearly crushed to death by the cargo.
Others were holding up scaffolding, helping those above to transport goods, but due to their pause, those at the top fell. One died from the fall, another was crushed to death.
Of course, such misfortunes were in the minority. After pausing for a few seconds, most people looked up towards a certain direction with an obsessed expression and began walking step by step forward.
Their direction, however, was towards the harbor!
Bismarck saw people jumping into the harbor one after another, as if unafraid of death, with an expression of bliss.
“What’s happening?” Bismarck watched in horror.
But in the next second, Bismarck’s own gaze changed; he seemed to smell a pleasant scent or hear a friend’s call… He also silently turned his head and walked towards a certain direction.
There, in Bismarck’s eyes, was the haven of the heart.
This scene was not only happening in the Magic Eaves Corridor and the Continent of Feran but also in many other places, including the Spirit Illusion Continent, Hero Island, and the Damascus Archipelago… Any creature existing around the Devil’s Sea was affected by this invisible power.
Even along the coast of the Vast Continent, similar situations were occurring.
Everyone seemed to have become zealots, marching step by step towards the sanctuaries in their hearts.
Such scenes naturally caught the attention of the Wizarding World.
A portion of the high-ranking wizards, through the Pursuit of Light Chairman of the City of Truth, had learned part of the news. They were also warning other wizards to stay away from the Devil’s Sea.
However, with the existing channels of information dissemination in the Wizarding World and the speed of communication, only a very small portion of people could be influenced.
And there were many more extraordinary beings, unaware of what was happening.
These uninformed transcendents began to approach the coasts near the Vast Continent, flying towards that seemingly calm but genuinely treacherous sea.”
