The tree nest on the spiritual plane collapsed, and the participants who were passively trapped in it returned to the real world.
The natural curtain of night descended once again, like a thick blanket, blocking the field of vision, giving people a sense of self-deception and peace of mind.
The Pope, who was in charge of the situation, left. The observation deck remained silent. Kitano Sukito and Bai Xinyan had their own thoughts, until the swarm of signals and communication devices connected, filling the space with ringing and vibrations.
Kitano Sukito coughed again and raised his wrist. There was a list of communication requests from the Tamagawa family and their surrounding social circles. However, in the past half an hour, the first-class cabin had been an isolated island of information. There was almost no communication going in or out. On the other hand, the other areas of the airship maintained contact with the outside world.
So this was not a signal interruption, but it was a hundred times more terrifying. Because this was due to some kind of tacit understanding, and also due to some kind of silent majesty.
The source was naturally the Amaterasu Cult.
There was no more obvious fact than this: the Amaterasu Cult was the master of Osaka City, the undisputed ruler of traditional political and military forces like the Tamkawa family.
Looking at the source, it was only twenty to thirty years ago. At Kitano Sukito's age, he had witnessed the entire process of the rise of the Amaterasu Cult.
This was the power and effect of a Transcendent.
If that was the case, the other side should be very fast.
Kitano Sukito suddenly shivered.
After stirring up a scene that was almost out of control, the Pope patted his butt and left. The True God probably wouldn't stay either, but the other side of the conflict was clearly still here.
At this time, the intercontinental airship had completely passed through the ruins of the cumulonimbus cloud cluster. It was said that the Cloud Pass was still being rebuilt, and it had been completely left behind. But what was the point of such a small distance for a Transcendent of that level?
Thinking of this, Kitano Sukito did not have the mood to respond to the swarm of communication requests. His muscles tensed up, and he struggled to stand up from the ground. He wanted to respond effectively, but he was at a loss.
"Don't worry, under the mask of rationality, Professor Luo is not the kind of person to vent his anger on others. Speaking of which, we are also victims! "
Although he agreed with this self-assessment … was it really okay to say it so bluntly?
Bai Xinyan's breathless voice didn't comfort him at all. Instead, it made him feel even more uneasy. Right now, he even felt that there was a piercingly cold will being injected into every single water molecule around him. It seemed that the next step would be to penetrate into his flesh and bones, see through everything, and sketch out life and death.
Professor Luo could definitely do it!
Subconsciously, Kitano Sukito put a hand on his chest, hoping to stabilize his abnormal heartbeat. At the same time, a faint light appeared before his eyes. It was Bai Xinyan opening the virtual workspace.
What was shown in the work area was work.
"Tsk tsk, such a thing has just happened, and yet, you're forcing me to sign it without any consolation … How cold-blooded and foolish. It turns out that I'm surrounded by a nest of Giant Lizards with only their cruel nature left! "
"What?"
Actually, Kitano Sukito wasn't sure if Bai Xinyan was talking to him, but it felt better to chat at this time.
While Bai Xinyan was operating in the virtual workspace, she refuted, "It's already like this, and you still want to stir up trouble in Osaka? Of course, I refuse!"
Kitano Sukito opened his mouth. He felt like he was watching a stage play. Bai Xinyan's expression and actions were on point, but there was a strong sense of deliberate intent, as if she was purposely putting on a show for someone to see …
It was really a satirical play that made people unable to laugh!
At this time, Bai Xinyan had finished her work. She turned around and kindly continued to comfort him.
"Mr. Kitano, it's almost over. Look at the two of us. One is a bodyguard, and the other is a kept woman. We both have masters to serve, and from time to time, we have to expand our service scope. Our lives are already so hard, why do we have to think about things outside of our duties? "
What f * cking sugar daddy …
Finally, Kitano Sukito remembered that this was an analogy that Bai Xinyan had used when she was talking to Yukawa Eishuke. In fact, it was still an analogy.
Yes, we just have to be loyal to our duties.
Kitano Sukito bowed to Bai Xinyan, and his gaze landed on the first class cabin behind the observation deck.
Right now, the first class cabin was a mess. A group of bodyguards had survived the disaster, but their soul power had just evaporated. Each of them looked like they were in a daze. Yukawa Eishuke was still lying in the aisle, and the almost forgotten Shanbei Xia Hui was still there. This was a situation that required a lot of effort to clean up …
Then again, compared to other related situations, this might be the easiest to clean up.
Kitano Sukito began to busy himself with the aftermath. During this time, communication requests from the outside world continued to come in. These requests came from all sorts of directions, but their focus areas were highly overlapping. Thus, a series of high-frequency words were formed.
The Amaterasu Order, the Pope, the True God … These words were definitely inescapable, but they would always add some evasive modifiers.
In comparison, another word was much more direct.
Luo Nan, Luo Nan, Luo Nan …
"Buzz buzz buzz … It's weird."
Luo Nan floated under the water of Beishan Lake. A strand of his consciousness was anchored in the clouds a thousand kilometers away.
Doing two things at once was no big deal for him, but there was still some pressure when it came to analyzing and designing the space-time configuration. He needed to be more focused.
At least half of Luo Nan's mind was still focused on the moment when the sunwheel descended and bombarded the pass in the clouds.
He watched as the sunwheel jumped out of nothingness, crushed the obstruction of the space-time structure, and smashed down on his head. It was just like in a war game, when an exploding fireball was about to hit the player, and then the game was over.
Strictly speaking, the game had already been reread once.
Luo Nan's game character, the space-time bubble he controlled, had already collapsed.
It was like this for a moment.
The key to the impact of the Falling Sun Wheel was not the impact. The fatal killing move originated from the instantaneous explosive distortion of the surrounding void environment.
The space-time structure was illusory yet thick, empty yet tenacious. But it could still deform in the end, especially when the power of an Extraordinary detonated the turbulent tsunami of the abyssal region. Then it interfered with the material plane and focused on the instantaneous explosion.
The powerful distortion had already touched upon the plane of laws. It squeezed out all the redundancy in the space-time structure. Luo Nan couldn't even muster the thought of resisting. He could determine that if he forcefully digested the instantaneous explosive power, the space-time bubble would certainly not be able to withstand it. The pressure would inevitably return to his body.
The sandwich domain was fine, but the exoskeleton frame was already damaged. It would most likely not be able to withstand the pressure.
So Luo Nan let it happen.
The space-time bubble collapsed, but the Net's Core, which had been pouring into the void, was still preserved. Luo Nan quickly reconstructed on this foundation.
There was a gap of about two seconds between the collapse and the reappearance.
It was short, but for the True God and the Pope, two seconds was enough to explain the most crucial problem … The space-time bubble was highly suspicious in its nothingness!
"I made a mistake!"
Luo Nan admitted that he had avoided direct damage in that instantaneous collision, but he had also lost his strategic target. He had allowed the True God and the Pope to see part of his bottom line, which would inevitably cause him to be passive.
But who would have thought that the True God and the Pope, two Extraordinaries, would actually join hands to deal with a junior like him? That's right. The attack of the Solar Wheel Descending had the True God providing the output and the Pope controlling it. The two Extraordinaries had synchronously controlled the Propping Mulberry Tree's Great Divine Treasure system, giving Luo Nan a head-on blow.
This blow had shattered Luo Nan's disguise. It had also forced him to reveal the level of his ability. It had made him expose, or at least partially expose, his strategic intent. The following problems would certainly be very thorny.
But then again, the True God and the Pope had exposed a lot of information in that moment.
Especially the Pope's tree nest structure. It used Yukawa Eishuke and the others as fulcrum and fuel. Admittedly, it saved quite a bit of strength, making it possible to strike a thunderous blow from over a thousand kilometers away.
But at the same time, he had also given Luo Nan a chance. This allowed the altar's spiderweb, which had been laid out earlier to probe into the human heart, to seep in. Similarly, Yukawa Eishuke and the others acted as fulcrum, as well as a medium and channel. The subjective perspectives and operations of the True God and the Pope during the pursuit and the Solar Wheel Descending attack were transmitted back one after another.
This was an exquisite operation built upon the level and train of thought of Extraordinaries. It was built upon the foundation of the Propping Mulberry Tree's Great Divine Treasure system. Even if Luo Nan had been in the game, he would not have been able to experience this level of detail by relying solely on Yukawa Eishuke and Kitano Suzuto.
However, Luo Nan had borrowed the altar's spiderweb to integrate various perspectives. He had cleverly increased the precision and sensitivity of these detectors. He had discarded the blurred, distorted, and exaggerated impressions, forming a stream of information that was like a high-definition video. He could even play it frame by frame and study it over and over again.
There was no more beautiful replay than this.
Also, Luo Nan felt that he needed to reevaluate the effects of the Daydream Nightmare incident.
It was precisely this early investment that allowed the breadth and depth of the altar's spiderweb to grow explosively.
If it weren't for the need of today's actual combat, Luo Nan would not have known that ninety-nine percent of the passengers on the intercontinental airship had already been pulled into their homes by the spiderweb. It was just a matter of how deep the spiderweb was.
Just how many of them would be needed in the entire world to analyze the situation on the airship?
As the spiderweb was spread out, the Wraith Sign clearly became more and more accustomed to this world. In the past, the Human-Faced Arachnid was fine when it was in the abyss region of the Polar Domain. But once it sunk into the material plane and probed into the sea of consciousness, it was absolutely impossible to hide from Extraordinaries.
Some keen psychic ability users were able to sense it.
But now, the altar's spiderweb was universally connected. It had practically become a part of the hearts of the entire world. Its concealment ability had become inconceivable.
Who didn't have a dark corner where the web had gathered dust?
It was just a bit noisy ….
