Free Web NovelAs the interior of the God Kingdom became turbulent, the intense erosion of the night spread, and the wind and sand around Sanlongsha, which had originally weakened, began to blow again, even showing signs of intensifying.
A strong wind, blowing from ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) an unknown source, with a speed exceeding ten grades, raged between the desolate Gobi Desert and the undulating hills. It was as if there were hallucinations, and the sound of clashing weapons and bloody battles could vaguely be heard in the wind.
Gravel and crushed stones were carried by the strong wind, forming "smoke" columns connecting heaven and earth, filling the night diluted by the vast wilderness. The hills and platforms lying on the ground were like huge corpses, their death gruesome and tragic.
Under the shroud of wind and sand, the huge city gate in the distance, exuding a chilling aura, became as ethereal as a dream scene.
Shocking cracks rose from the southern city wall of the city gate, spreading along its curved outline, spewing crimson light, flickering on and off, as if lightning flashed across the sky above the city gate.
"Is that the legendary Yumen Pass? It's truly magnificent!" Someone exclaimed as they gazed at the majestic pass standing in the distant land.
The speaker was a very young girl. Although she covered most of her face with a white veil, the eyes that were exposed had the unique clarity and gentleness of a young girl, as if she were a harmless little lamb.
She was dressed in a classic red and white Miko attire, complemented by a gorgeous pure gold hair ornament that tied up her long black hair, giving her a solemn demeanor. On her ears, hidden beneath her sideburns, were various skull-shaped earrings of different colors, adding a touch of rebellion to her solemnity.
"However, the scale of ancient city gates shouldn't be this large. This must be the power of the God Kingdom, right?"
"That's right, Miss," the old man beside the girl replied. "It is said that the ruins in the scenic area, more than a hundred kilometers away, are where the Yumen Pass was originally located."
He was dressed in black, as short as a child, with numerous black curse tattoos on his old face, looking more like a urban legend than a human.
"And from the day of its closure, the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate transformed into endless yellow sand, flowing everywhere across the vast land with the pulse of the earth..."
The old man was halfway through his sentence when the girl understood. She had heard countless times about the operation of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate and interjected, "Is this why the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate can resist the invasion of urban legend into Z Country? Like a giant beast wandering the wilderness, hunting and devouring urban legend..."
"Yes, Miss," the old man nodded.
While the Fujiwara no Shoguuji of Kasuga Grand Shrine and her servant were conversing, a young man on a nearby hill sighed.
"They all say that the night's erosion not only harms the human body but also, when it reaches a certain intensity, destroys the natural environment and causes drastic climate changes. I never thought I'd have the chance to witness it firsthand."
The young man was short and thin, with a pale face full of fatigue. He looked sickly. If not for his typical East Slavic features and a bearskin felt hat, it would be difficult to associate him with a member of the White God Group.
"Doji Ten, have you ever seen the environment change due to the night's erosion before?"
Beside the young man was a dark-skinned, tall and burly man, like an elephant. A long, colorful silk ribbon passed through his legs and was tucked into his back, loosely covering his lower body, exposing his rippling muscles.
In stark contrast to his burly physique was his childlike, tender face. The combination of the two created an indescribable sense of incongruity.
"I have," Doji Ten nodded, speaking in a muffled voice. "In the Pashupatinath Temple, which was eroded by the Code F Monster, although Yadu Senior sacrificed himself to prevent the spread of the Code F Monster's authority, the area within ten kilometers around the temple is still lifeless..."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Winter coughed violently, increasingly so, as if his lungs were about to come out, until he fumbled to take out a handful of pills from his pocket, put them in his mouth, and swallowed them. Only then did the coughing gradually stop.
"Doesn't that mean India has an additional large forbidden zone? Counting it this way, India already has thirty-seven large forbidden zones, right? The situation you Aptya face is much more severe than ours in the White God Group! No wonder you invited such a Calamity-level expert here."
"It seems Aptya is determined to destroy the Yumen Pass?"
Winter's speculation was not entirely without reason.
After all, the White God Group and Kasuga Grand Shrine, the two major Spiritual Energy organizations, can only be considered secondary victims of the Miracle Order's Spiritual Energy attacks. Aptya and Assassins are the primary victims.
And Assassins, from a certain perspective, are like the Miracle Order, both are "terrorists." However, the former targets illegal Psychic and urban legend by any means necessary, while the latter, when they go crazy, will do anything.
It's like the difference between lawful evil and chaotic neutral.
When two groups of "terrorists" collide, they naturally fight back and forth.
Aptya's situation is much more difficult than Assassins'. They already had difficulty operating due to the chaotic Spiritual Energy forces in India, and with the addition of a group of madmen like the Miracle Order, they are even more troubled.
Furthermore, also due to the chaotic Spiritual Energy forces in India, the efficiency of resolving urban legend incidents within Aptya's jurisdiction is ridiculously low. In the past two years, the number of urban legend and the scope of their spread have surged, almost to the point of helplessness.
Therefore, from any perspective, Aptya is the biggest beneficiary of destroying the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, where a large number of Miracle Order members are gathered.
"..."
Doji Ten coldly glanced at Winter, saying nothing, seemingly acquiescing to his statement.
----
Around Sanlongsha.
Using the cover of wind, sand, and undulating hills, a Nameless Book in black quietly observed the personnel from various Spiritual Energy organizations one by one. After multiple attempts to find the Nameless Assassin Group of Assassins without success, she returned to a cave in a hill and hid herself.
The situation of the major Spiritual Energy organizations was almost exactly as she had conjectured when reviewing the intelligence documents: the Fujiwara no Shoguuji of Kasuga Grand Shrine and Winter of the White God Group led several A-level Spirit Ability User subordinates, the Calamity-level Doji Ten acted alone, and the Nameless Assassin Group was nowhere to be seen.
It was normal for the Nameless Assassin Group to be unseen. This did not mean that they had not yet arrived around Sanlongsha; geographically, they might have even arrived earlier than the other three major Spiritual Energy organizations.
However, upon becoming members of Assassins, they underwent some unknown ritual that erased their names, Spiritual Energy fluctuations, and everything else that might enhance their presence. Generally speaking, as long as they did not attack and deliberately hid themselves, even a Calamity-level would find it difficult to detect their presence.
After a habitual observation and analysis, Nameless Book channeled Spiritual Energy into her palm, causing the thick Nameless Book to condense again. She gently opened it and wrote the two characters "Lord Bing" on a blank page.
The smooth pen tip left black ink marks on the slightly yellowed paper, and then the ink gradually dried, faded, and finally disappeared.
After repeating this several times, Nameless Book gently shook her head and then re-inked her pen to write the three characters "Lord Huaiyuan."
A few seconds later, seeing the handwriting on the page completely disappear again, Nameless Book, who was usually very patient, couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
"Oh..."
She had already rushed here from the Si Ye Hui Headquarters, and was less than five kilometers from the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate that had descended near Sanlongsha. If she still couldn't contact Lord Bing and Lord Huaiyuan, then there would truly be nothing she could do.
This clone of hers couldn't exert her full strength, and her authority wasn't suited for combat. While suppressing Winter and Fujiwara no Shoguuji by Spiritual Energy level was easy, the one from India was determined to cause trouble, and she couldn't stop him at all.
It should be known that Doji Ten's Spirit Mark authority largely originated from the mythical urban legend, Kumara, the god of war in Indian mythology. His frontal combat power was among the top tier of all Calamity-level Psychic.
"..."
If it were Lord Huaiyuan, that muscular fellow, perhaps he could suppress him, but me...
A "broken" book, directly contending with a god of war, it would be lucky not to be torn to shreds. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Nameless Book thought mockingly, and once again picked up her pen, writing the three characters "Lord Huaiyuan" on the blank page.
This time, after waiting for a few seconds, just as the ink on the page was about to disappear, a line of crooked small characters suddenly appeared after Lord Huaiyuan's name.
Lord Huaiyuan: Nameless Book? Is that you? You're finally here. I'm trapped, save me quickly!
Nameless Book: How did you get trapped? What about the energy bar I left you? Did you forget what I told you before I left?
Lord Huaiyuan: I lost it...
What a disgraceful fellow! Nameless Book raised her hand to her forehead.
Just then, her gaze, through the gaps between her fingers, caught a line of neat, printed small characters that abruptly appeared on her page.
Void: Energy bar? I think I know where it is. freewebnσvel.cѳm
The way those characters appeared was just like when you're privately chatting one-on-one with a friend, and a message from a third person inexplicably appears, carrying a hint of horror and strangeness.
Looking at the characters that appeared on the page, Nameless Book slightly furrowed her brows, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
In fact, this ability, similar to sending messages for communication, was something she had recently developed based on her original abilities by observing the operation of the Monster Story Chat Group. Before this, if she wanted to contact Lord Huaiyuan like this, she would have to do so through methods similar to letter transmission.
The entire process was like someone who originally possessed a special ability suddenly discovering their extraordinary talent one day, and after a little practice, achieving results beyond ordinary people.
But what she didn't expect was that developing this ability had left a hidden danger...
This situation was similar to the mutual borrowing of abilities between a subordinate and a master, but there was no subordinate relationship between her and Void. The appearance of this situation meant that she and Void had the possibility of authority fusion.
If given enough time, they might even become the same urban legend.
Even putting that aside, this Nameless Book, in a sense, could be considered a part of her body...
If it were you, and someone, without your notice, left something inside your body, could you tolerate it?
This is definitely a huge hidden danger!
Perhaps, I really should find an opportunity to eliminate that guy, unless... it willingly becomes my subordinate. No, no, this won't do!
A dignified Night Watch Guardian taking a urban legend as a subordinate? Who knows what gossip that would cause if it got out! Nameless Book shook her head at this thought.
