Chapter 2471 Spirit of Disorder <TOC> Chapter 2473 Aoowed

At this moment, not far from the Mist Zone, the Moonlight Toucan was slowly moving forward.
On the deck of the Moonlight Toucan, a black bear skin high-back captain’s chair, completely out of sync with the surrounding rugged aesthetic, was placed there.
And Sanders, in a black gentleman’s suit, sat on the captain’s chair, his right foot crossed over his left knee, revealing shiny leather shoes.
“The crew member who just moved the chair over, is he blind and mindless? Didn’t he see that I, an old man, was here and yet he moved the chair for you, a young and strong man, to sit first?” Canter stood opposite Sanders, visibly infuriated, his two long beards blown upwards.
“People moving chairs over is also out of kindness. There’s always a first come, first served, isn’t there? Aren’t they continuing to move more now?” said Nisi. “However, I still don’t understand, why don’t you stay in the comfortable cabin and come to the deck to catch the cool breeze?”
“None of your business.” Canter glanced at Nisi dismissively and continued to approach Sanders: “Even if there’s a first come, first served for chairs, it should have been my turn. The youth nowadays, they no longer respect the elderly.”
Sanders looked at Canter indifferently: “A trivial matter, also worth talking about for so long. It seems, your injury must have healed?”
Canter really wanted to get a chair, he could easily conjure up an even more luxurious one with his hand, so in Sanders’ view, if they could talk about this topic, it must be out of boredom.
Canter: “Other things aside, my heart injury hasn’t healed yet.”
“Heart injury?” Sanders raised an eyebrow: “What, did Kimberly come to you?”
Canter’s expression instantly stiffened: “Why bring her up? The heart injury I’m talking about is because of Angel.”
Perhaps not wanting Sanders to continue on the topic of Kimberly, Canter quickly said: “I agreed to come here to help Nisi because I wanted to meet Angel and ask him for a favor. But now, Angel is…sigh, the situation there changes in the blink of an eye, who knows if we can still meet Angel, my heart is hurting.”
“Are you cursing Angel?” Nisi looked eager for drama and turned to Sanders: “He’s cursing your disciple like this, aren’t you going to say something?”
Sanders couldn’t be bothered to respond, but the thought of Angel made him sigh inwardly.
However, since it’s the path Angel chose, he could only respect his decision.
Sanders shook his head, not wanting to listen to the squabbles between Nisi and Canter anymore, preparing to close his eyes and rest.
But just then, a familiar fluctuation suddenly came from a distant place.
Sanders abruptly opened his eyes and stood up suddenly.
Looking back, that direction was…the direction of the Mist Zone!
“This power, it seems to be the attraction!” At this moment, Nisi and Canter also came to their senses, their faces bearing an expression of surprise and doubt.
Moved by a thought, Canter quickly took out a night crystal from his pocket and threw it forcefully into the sky. The crystal shattered in the sky, merging the night with the horizon. In an instant, Canter’s thoughts traveled with the night to the distant horizon.
Seconds later, Canter regained his composure, looking somewhat pale, but he quickly said, “The attraction is getting stronger, and its radiating range is expanding rapidly, already reaching the limit of my detection. I estimate that the surrounding continents are now enveloped by this attraction.”
As he spoke, the attraction intensified further.
Sailors on the deck began to wander aimlessly, uniformly moving towards the direction of the Mist Zone.
With a gentle swipe, Nisi created an air barrier that protected the Moonlight Toucan, preventing these ordinary people from falling into the sea.
“Defensive spells also cannot resist the attraction,” Nisi said. “What exactly is happening now?”
“It seems that the Mysterious Fruit is about to go out of control,” Sanders whispered.
“This is still about to go out of control? It should already be out of control, right?” Nisi questioned.
“If it were already out of control, the attraction wouldn’t gradually increase; it would be so strong that you couldn’t resist,” Sanders said. “However, looking at the current situation, the fruit in the center of the Mist Zone is not far from going out of control.”
After Sanders finished speaking, he looked at Canter and Nisi: “The attraction continues to climb, and we are relatively close to the Mist Zone. We must leave this vicinity immediately.”
That is to say, it was necessary to open a planar passage.
Canter and Nisi understood the urgency of the situation. They had experienced the terror of the attraction. Although they could bear it now, the attraction was increasing too quickly. Without Angel’s green rune domain, they simply couldn’t withstand it. Therefore, leaving was the only choice at the moment.
“I’ll take care of the people on the Moonlight Toucan,” Sanders said, then looked at Canter and Nisi: “Canter, pay attention to the stability of the surrounding space. Nisi, you open the planar passage. Set the void anchor nearby…”
“Why is it always me who has to open the planar passage?” Nisi expressed his unwillingness, as the materials for the planar passage were exorbitantly expensive, and he was poor.
However, unwilling as he might be, Nisi still prepared the materials for the planar passage according to Sanders’ division of labor.
Sanders then flew into the air and stretched out a hand like that of a giant, grabbing the Moonlight Toucan.
It seemed as if the Moonlight Toucan was about to be crushed. But in the next second, the giant hand disappeared, and the Moonlight Toucan vanished along with it.
From the ship to the people on it, everyone was stored by Sanders in the Gravity Garden.
Sanders had not wanted to use the Gravity Garden initially because each entry and exit from the Gravity Garden consumed a bit of the gravity lines. Although it was not much, it was still a consumption. Moreover, the consumption and replenishment were not proportional. Therefore, unless necessary, Sanders rarely brought a large number of people into the Gravity Garden. But now, there was no other option but to make do in an emergency.
After Sanders settled the Moonlight Toucan in the Gravity Garden, on the other side, with the cooperation of Canter and Nisi, the planar passage was also opened.
Canter and Nisi took the lead and entered.
Sanders also flew over, but he didn’t enter the planar passage right away. Instead, he looked back from a distance towards the direction of the Mist Belt.
Even though it was invisible to the naked eye, he knew that the surrounding attraction was invisibly increasing.
Sanders had never seen a disorderly object, but according to what he had learned about them from various sources, once it truly went out of control, this attraction could cover more than half of the Wizarding World, or even more. If no one stopped it, it would be a Catastrophe.
“Angel… was your choice correct?” Sanders whispered softly to himself.
After speaking, Sanders didn’t hesitate any longer, turned around, and entered the planar passage.
The next second, the spatial rift closed, as if nothing had happened.
…
What was happening outside was unknown to Angel at this time.
He, along with others, was looking with astonishment at the blood-red soul in the distance.
The soul of Number 03 had completely turned blood-red, and as the blood-red soul took shape, a terrifying power swept across the entire sea zone.
Including several people in the Domain of Distortion, they were also impacted by this power, leaving their minds blank for two seconds.
When they somewhat regained their senses, Gruz De Weld frowned slightly: “I feel the energy of the Levitating Wall rapidly depleting.”
Everyone looked up at the blood-red soul, and the two bubbles representing the Levitating Wall were indeed shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Shiuro~ does this mean that the attraction has become even more terrifying?”
The Enforcer: “Isn’t that a matter of course?”
As soon as the blood-red soul formed, disorder approached, and both attraction and pull powers became even more dreadful. This was a normal situation.
However, Gruz De Weld looked deeply at the Enforcer: “Indeed, it’s a matter of course, but, does the Enforcer not feel any pressure at all?”
“Pressure?” The Enforcer was startled for a moment, then immediately realized, covered his mouth and coughed twice, his face turning pale: “Hehe, indeed, I have been seen through by the Lord of the City, pretending like this indeed puts a lot of pressure on me.”
Gruz De Weld: “…Do you think your acting is very convincing? Even in terms of acting, you’re not as good as the dog pretending to drown.”
The Enforcer also gave up: “What I said is true, believe it or not.”
Magnificus De Pawel listened in confusion to the dialogue between the Enforcer and Gruz De Weld, completely befuddled by their cryptic exchange: “What are you talking about? What pressure? Shiuro?”
Gruz De Weld stated indifferently, “The rapid depletion of the air shields indicates that after the blood-red soul takes shape, its attraction power increases significantly, to the extent that it can influence legendary energies. However, don’t you find it strange that we feel nothing of this sort in this Domain of Distortion?”
Magnificus De Pawel then realized, indeed, not only did it not feel an increase in attraction, but it also felt even less than before.
“Has the Enforcer’s Domain of Distortion become this powerful? Shiuro?” Magnificus De Pawel looked at the Enforcer with curious eyes.
The Enforcer’s expression remained unchanged: “Just a trivial trick, really.”
Gruz De Weld scoffed, “Is it really you who isolated the attraction power?”
The Enforcer: “Of course.”
Gruz De Weld naturally didn’t believe this. Previously, he hadn’t paid much attention, but now that such a terrifying attraction power could be neutralized by the Domain of Distortion, something seemed off. This raised his suspicions.
If not the Enforcer, then there was only one conclusion.
——This domain permeated with abundant green runes.
When he was still in Magnificus De Pawel’s mental space, he noticed the green rune domain released by Angel, which had never been withdrawn and even overlapped with the Domain of Distortion.
Thus, if not the Domain of Distortion, it could only be the green rune domain.
Gruz De Weld turned to look at Angel: “Did you do this? Your domain that comes from… where?”
Initially positioning himself as just another spectator, Angel suddenly found himself back in the spotlight.
Angel responded blankly, “What do you mean, lord? My green rune domain, blocking the attraction? How could that be? I don’t have such power to stop such a strong power.”
After Angel’s words, Gruz De Weld became confused.
At his level, telling whether someone was lying or telling the truth was glaringly obvious, and Angel was not lying.
Could it be that he was wrong?
Was it really the Enforcer’s doing?
Or was it not the Enforcer’s Domain of Distortion but some other unseen Mysterious Object used by the Enforcer?
Gruz De Weld didn’t speak further. Since his judgment was off, he let it be. This matter wasn’t the focus right now anyway. As long as they were still under protection, they might as well consider it the shelter of the Domain of Distortion.
When Gruz De Weld gave up on exploring, he failed to see the spotted puppy, feigning drowning, sneak a glance at Angel before quickly averting its gaze and continuing to paddle with all four legs.
…
Although the Levitating Wall was affected, it hadn’t burst directly. To obtain firsthand information, Gruz De Weld began to make amends.
He started to replenish energy to the Levitating Wall to counteract the drain from the attraction power.
This method of releasing magic from afar and replenishing energy was unheard of to Angel. This might also be the capability of a legendary wizard.
Regardless, since Gruz De Weld was unwilling to give up on firsthand information, he had to engage in a tug-of-war with the attraction power.
Initially, the tug-of-war didn’t significantly affect Gruz De Weld, even though this was just a split consciousness. The legendary magic power he possessed was vast like the abyss, sufficient for the consumption.
But in less than twenty seconds, everything changed.
The blood-red soul began to fade. Or rather, the soul started to dissolve.
The hands of the blood-red soul seemed to melt, turning into specks of red light, pouring into the Mysterious Fruit at the chest.
As the red light was infused, the attraction power escalated to a new level.
Previously, to maintain the Levitating Wall, Gruz De Weld only needed to continuously release a trickle-like legendary magic power. But now, just the melting of the blood-red soul’s hands increased the attraction power drastically to a point where a surging river was needed to maintain it.
And this was clearly not the end.
After the hands, there were the feet, the skull, and the torso.
This blood-red soul would eventually dissolve completely, merging into the chest’s metallic mesh-structured Mysterious Fruit.
At this moment, everyone had an epiphany. The current situation was simply procedural.
The Spirit of Disorder merging into the Mysterious Object was inevitably leading to the birth of the Disorderly Object.
While the mood of others remains unspoken, Gruz De Weld’s spirits are decidedly low. Given the current rate of improvement, even with his vast reserves of legendary magical power, it’s doubtful he can sustain the expenditure required to maintain the Levitating Wall.
Gruz De Weld begins to waver, contemplating whether to give up.
Soon, the blood-red soul’s feet also vanish.
A substantial flow of legendary magical power ebbs away, causing Gruz De Weld’s complexion to turn pale instantly, and sweat begins to bead on his forehead.
Clearly, the pressure Gruz De Weld is under has reached its limit.
Magnificus De Pawel begins to persuade, suggesting Gruz De Weld abandon the experiment and leave for the better.
At this moment, Angel turns to look at Woof Woof.
First, he glances at Gruz De Weld with his eyes, then looks at Woof Woof.
Woof Woof, this time, understands Angel’s intent: Gruz De Weld is currently in a state of exhaustion, making now the optimal moment to act.
Woof Woof had also noticed Gruz De Weld’s condition and feels this is an excellent opportunity. However, as a weak Void Traveler, it’s hardly a match; if action is to be taken, it requires the intervention of a powerhouse.
But… the powerhouse is still drowning.
As Gruz De Weld seems about to give up the drawn-out battle, Woof Woof grows anxious. It can’t help but use the void network to ask the spotted puppy if now is the time to act.
The spotted puppy, who had been pretending to drown with its eyes closed, finally opens its eyes at Woof Woof’s whisper.
