The box was covered with runes, and it was very difficult for the four professionals to carry it.
Chong Wengu carefully opened the box.
Inside was a golden pendulum clock. The clock was covered with intricate runes, but at this moment there was no energy fluctuation, and it looked quite ordinary.
But the moment I saw the pendulum clock.
Chong Wengu's expression was extremely solemn, but his eyes were burning with passion.
He reached out his trembling hand and stroked the cold bell with utter fascination.
They didn't want to miss a single corner or detail.
Observe carefully.
After a long while, Kenji Sato whispered a reminder.
"Lord Gu Mao, everything is ready. Should we... begin?"
Chong Wengu snapped out of his daze and took a deep breath.
He nodded, took the golden pendulum of life out of the box, and held it high above his head.
"Buzz—"
With a soft chime, golden light suddenly burst forth from inside the pendulum, instantly engulfing Chongwen Gumao.
Kenji Sato was blinded by the bright light and instinctively took a few steps back, shielding his eyes with his arm.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him stunned him.
The half-meter-tall golden clock detached from Chong Wengu's hand, hovered in mid-air, and rapidly grew larger in the golden light.
One meter, five meters, ten meters...
Eventually, it transformed into a colossal creature thirty meters tall, emanating a terrifying pressure.
The pendulum of life rose above Fuji Castle and hovered motionless. Dazzling golden light poured down, illuminating the entire dark city as if it were daytime.
The protesting crowd below the city was taken aback.
They all looked up at the source of the sound.
What is that?
"What's that in the sky... what's that in the sky?"
"What are the Kujo family up to now? What are they trying to do?!"
Before the angry curses could spread, they were completely swallowed up by a distant buzzing sound.
"Buzz—"
The giant pendulum clock hanging in the sky suddenly burst forth with boundless golden light.
The light was so dazzling that it was as if millions of suns exploded at the same time.
The whole world turned pure gold at that moment.
"Ah! My eyes!"
"I can't see anything! I can't see anything at all!"
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
In the square, tens of thousands of civilians cried out in anguish at the same time.
They instinctively closed their eyes and covered them tightly with their hands, but the all-pervasive golden light seemed to penetrate everything and continued to burn their retinas.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from between his fingers.
Before they could even recover from the pain of blindness...
An indescribable, almost tangible, terrifying pressure descended from the sky!
The oppressive force was as heavy as a mountain and as vast as the sky.
"Thump!"
In the square, a man closest to the center suddenly collapsed to his knees.
The knees slammed against the hard ground with a dull thud.
This seems to be a signal.
"Splash! Splash! Splash!"
Thousands upon thousands of people could not stand up at that moment.
They were either kneeling on both knees or on all fours, like a group of sinners being judged by the gods, humbly crawling on the ground, their bodies trembling violently uncontrollably.
"My...my body!"
"I can't stand... I can't stand up!"
Panic spread through the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying feeling swept over everyone.
asphyxia.
It was as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats tightly, instantly sucking all the air out of their lungs.
"Well......"
"Breathe... I can't breathe..."
Countless people groaned in pain, their mouths agape as they desperately tried to inhale air, but all they could breathe in was despair.
Their faces were flushed red from lack of oxygen, their eyes bulged and bloodshot.
Vitality is being forcibly stripped from them at a visible speed.
"Dad...I feel so bad..."
The man's daughter, nestled in his arms, let out a weak cry, her little face turning purple.
The man's heart was breaking. He wanted to offer words of comfort, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He could feel his life slipping away rapidly, and his consciousness began to blur.
...
Meanwhile, on a highway dozens of miles from Fuji Castle.
The black sedan was speeding along.
Sudden!
Polina, Karen, and Kujo Kazuya, who were inside the car, all shuddered simultaneously.
Their faces all showed the same shock and horror.
The three of them turned their gazes toward Fuji Castle without prior arrangement.
In the distant sky, a dense, almost impenetrable golden light shot into the heavens, dyeing the night sky gold.
Polina's alluring eyes narrowed sharply, and her red lips parted slightly.
"It's the breath of life's pendulum!"
Just as the God of Change said, the pendulum of life is indeed here.
Karen's charred face was first filled with shock, which was then replaced by an extreme frenzy.
"Found it!"
"We've finally found it!"
This was the closest they had ever come to the pendulum of death since infiltrating the land of cherry blossoms!
They finally found the location of the pendulum of life!
Zhou Huai's information insects were constantly observing every move in the city.
His consciousness resided within Caesar, quietly watching the images transmitted back by the information worm.
In the image, a huge golden pendulum clock hangs in the sky, radiating dazzling light.
Below it lies a city like purgatory, where countless civilians struggle in despair, their life force constantly being drained away.
Clearly, this is preparation for the resurrection of the ancestor of the Kujo family, Kujo Kagemasa.
"The car is going too slowly."
Zhou Huai quickly said
"We'll fly directly from here."
"We need to be fast."
"We must seize the pendulum of life before Kujo Kage is resurrected."
"If we wait for Kujo Kage to successfully revive, it won't be easy for us to snatch the Pendulum of Life from the two high-level SS-rank professionals."
Polina and Karen nodded at the same time.
They naturally understand this principle.
"squeak--"
Kujo Kazuya slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a steady stop on the side of the road.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Polina and Karen eagerly pushed open the car door.
Behind Polina, dense shadow energy surged forth, transforming into a pair of enormous and magnificent black wings.
With a gentle flap of her wings, she soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of black light. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Karen then took out an antique-looking golden scarab badge from his pocket. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
He tossed the badge into the air, and it rapidly enlarged in mid-air. Countless golden grains of sand poured out of the badge, converging into a pair of enormous wings made of quicksand that attached themselves to his back.
"Buzz!"
With a flap of the Wings of Quicksand, Karen followed closely behind, flying rapidly towards Fuji Castle.
Kujou Kazuya stared blankly at the two streaks of light disappearing into the night sky, then looked at the still motionless figure in the back row, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Caesar ignored him.
He simply sat there quietly, raising his hand.
"Buzz—"
Countless tiny beetles appeared out of thin air, gathering at his feet like a black tide.
They stacked and combined rapidly, forming a black throne with a metallic texture in just one second.
The throne, supporting Caesar's body, slowly rose into the air.
The next second.
"boom!"
A piercing sonic boom.
The black throne accelerated instantly, moving at a terrifying speed far exceeding that of Polina and Karen, transforming into a streak of black lightning that tore through the night sky and roared toward the city shrouded in golden light.
