The Krait entered its abdomen and Number 3 suddenly stiffened. The raging flames burning around its body seemed to grow fiercer. Amidst the flames, the remnants of the demonic body were burned to nothingness in an instant. The remaining parts carried the momentum of the impact and collided with the black plate. The flames exploded before it could even get close. The entire Human-Faced Arachnid was turned into flying ash. The bits and pieces of ash fell onto the plate.
Flying ash and smoke? Ouyang Chen and Childe did not think so.
It was just as they expected. As the flying ash fell onto the plate, the turbid mist of chaos element, which had been exhausted and dissipated, began to bubble up. It churned and rolled, quickly forming a scale.
Suddenly, a long leg pierced out from within this turbid mist. With a few fiddles, the Human-Faced Arachnid's ugly body propped itself up from within. Its eyes were bewildered with six colors and its eight legs were divided. The flames on its body dissipated and it returned to its peak state. The only difference was that its body was much smaller.
It was originally on the same level as the projection of the Scales of Truth. Now it had shrunk by several times. It was about the same size as the Krait it had just swallowed.
"Replacing the Krait, reducing the link, and reintegrating the chaos element... Unexpected, but reasonable. This is indeed An Weng's style."
Ouyang Chen sighed. The chaos element, which had been utterly defeated, was clearly more efficient under the control of the Human-Faced Arachnid. It was even able to absorb nutrients from the Dark Shadow Domain, allowing it to continue to develop and grow stronger.
This process of 'swallowing and replacing' seemed logical, but it had to be known that the image of the Krait had a rich inner meaning. It represented an extremely mature system of the Order of Justice and was the best choice for controlling the element of chaos.
The Human-Faced Arachnid's level of power might be above An Weng's, but connecting it with the existing system of the Order of Justice was always a problem.
Only an old powerhouse like An Weng could debug a feasible plan to replace the Krait in the shortest amount of time possible and successfully implement it.
The most exquisite link was not the rebirth of the Human-Faced Arachnid, but the union with the projection of the Scales of Truth. The miniature figure was no longer Number 3's original body. It was its reflection in the Scales of Truth's system.
The real Number 3 had already merged with the projection of the Scales of Truth. It was difficult to distinguish the real Number 3 from the real Scales of Truth.
But that was a problem on a different level.
Ouyang Chen did not stop his advance. As he continued to approach the giant shadow pillar, he analyzed and illuminated the relevant areas, allowing the others to see the situation inside.
There were not many people who still had the leisure to pay attention to this side, and Zheng Xiao was probably one of them. This First Priest had always been calm. However, in the face of the continuous and drastic changes in the situation, his brain was often shut down. It was only when 03 devoured the Krait that he truly woke up.
Zheng Xiao clutched his chest. The Krait had just been swallowed, and the related Qi activity had been transferred and reconnected. It had almost paralyzed his heart, and now it was beating wildly in compensation. He was already considered lucky. The priests and knights around him had all fallen to the ground. No matter how the building beneath them shook, they could not feel anything. He did not know how many of them would wake up.
He raised his head in a daze and looked into the depths of the shadow. Under the dual illumination of Ouyang Chen and the projection of the Scales of Truth, the shadow there was peeling off layer by layer. A portion of it was directly evaporated, while another portion was dissolved into the turbid fog of chaotic elements.
It was certain that the projection of the Scales of Truth was using the dark shadow domain to rapidly increase the amount of chaotic elements on the secular side. This action was fruitful... One could see it from the current situation of the scales.
The projection of the Scales of Truth shifted once more into an unbalanced state. But this time, the black plate was the one that continued to sink. This indicated that the weight of the two sides had begun to invert.
Zheng Xiao vaguely remembered that the appearance of this phenomenon was actually a preset condition when An Weng spread out the Evolution Field. An Weng had once told him that there might be a demon mentioned in the holy scripture that would take their place and contend against the nearly undefeatable Fairchild.
Now, the demon had truly come. Moreover, the demon's strength might far surpass that of the Ears of Truth.
"Beneath the thick layer of clouds is an island covered in boiling magma. The demon carries chains on its back as it travels through the clouds..."
Was this An Weng's verification?
Right now, he could not see the island or the chains, but there were layers of clouds and demons. Half of the holy scripture's account had been verified. In that case, he could say with a bit of caution that the Gate of Truth really did exist. Was it really in Xia City?
Zheng Xiao's face twitched slightly. If tonight was just a verification, then their mission would have been perfectly completed. They could retreat with success.
But the current An Weng was probably thinking differently!
"The body transforms into a sacrificial vessel, stealing the sky and swapping the sun. According to the ritual of the church, An Weng, you're thinking of... "
Zheng Xiao had just sorted out an idea. The white plate that was constantly rising upward was constructed by the Evolution Field. After the projection of the Scales of Truth, an image appeared for the first time. The weaker side no longer had the qualifications to remain anonymous.
The first thing that appeared was the structure of a kite shield. A mercury-like glow flowed on its surface. This was the reflection of the Shield of Truth. It undoubtedly represented Fairchild.
Zheng Xiao cast his gaze toward Building A, but he could not see anything due to the dark clouds and turbid mist. He did not know what kind of mood Fairchild was in right now.
But then, an unexpected change occurred.
The projection of the kite shield had just appeared when another light and shadow appeared. This one was much more concise. It was the composition of a tetrahedron with an inscribed sphere and an outer-scribed sphere. Zheng Xiao had seen it not too long ago.
"The Format Pyramid!"
Zheng Xiao's brain nearly crashed once more. That Luo Nan... When did he go up?
The Scales of Truth could not just go up on a whim. The operating steps inside were very complex. They required an extremely tight foundation and connection of energy.
Only An Weng could carry out such operations. Considering the time conditions, this meant that when Number 3 flew through the air and encountered dangerous situations, she had been 'dealing' with Luo Nan?
No matter how much weight Luo Nan occupied, the side of the white plate that carried him and Fairchild clearly could not compare to the other side, which was filled with chaotic and disorderly elements.
Right now, the weights in An Weng's hands were not too few. They were too many. He could easily deploy them. As long as he could bear the pressure of the demon behind the shadows, as long as he could endlessly obtain weights from the shadows, it would be very difficult to break this advantage.
For this reason, An Weng added the final stroke to his own plan.
On top of the black plate, the Human-Faced Arachnid suddenly opened its mouth and inhaled. It swallowed a portion of the turbid mist surrounding it into its stomach. It was unknown how the Human-Faced Arachnid operated, but the constantly tilting scales actually began to return to normal.
As it swayed, the black and white plates rose and fell. The Human-Faced Arachnid also swallowed clouds of mist. Clearly, it was switching weights and searching for a point of balance.
With enough weights, this was far too easy!
The black and white plates appeared on a horizontal line once more, fulfilling the requirements of the Order's holy object. It was like a fully matured seed that was buried in the void.
