Hackzord ultimately chose to cooperate.
Even though it wasn't difficult to conclude that this was the most logical course of action as long as one thought about it rationally, when they saw the Senior Demon Lord being convinced by a young witch and retracting his opinion, they still felt their chests swell and they couldn't help but raise their heads slightly.
Sky Lord's only request was to confirm that the situation was as Anna had described, which she had agreed to.
Under the layers of surveillance of the God's Punishment Witches, Hackzord and Serakkas saw Roland lying on the bed. The pillar of light around him was still as majestic as before, nearly covering half the floating island.
"If it were half a year earlier, I would definitely be very happy to see this scene." Hackzord kept the five-colored magic stone and sighed. "Have you attempted to connect to the Dream World?"
"Of course, but it didn't work." Phyllis answered him. "Our souls are no longer accepted by that world, and our companions who entered ahead of us have fallen into a deep slumber. This makes it impossible for us to transmit any information to His Majesty. The connection between the two worlds has been severed. "
"On the bright side, he has at least two witches accompanying him." Hackzord shrugged his shoulders and said to Anna, "The Western Front Project has been going on for nearly a hundred years. In order to transport the Red Mist, which is also known as the Red Mist, from the Blackstone region to the human territories, it not only includes a Birth Tower, but also a passageway hidden in the mountains. And the exit of this passageway is just a mountain away from Everwinter's northern territory. Therefore, sending your reinforcements to the Bottomless Land doesn't require me to repeatedly travel. If you are willing to take the risk, I can help you open this Distortion Door. "
"That's good." Anna nodded and said, "I believe that with Silent Disaster escorting us along the way, your people wouldn't mind us using this shortcut."
It was undoubtedly a bold suggestion to have a Grand Lord suppress the other devils who were ready to make trouble. The others could not help but break out into a cold sweat, but Hackzord chuckled.
"Interesting young lady. I don't have any objections as long as it agrees. "
Serakkas took off her ferocious black helmet, revealing a head full of long hair that didn't match her appearance. Her extremely feminine face left those who had never seen her true appearance astonished. It sized up Anna for a moment before saying, "I have a condition. When you bring Roland deep into the Bottomless Land, I want to enter as well. "
"Is it because of the Nightmare Lord?" Anna asked bluntly.
Serakkas did not reply.
"I promise you," she finally said solemnly.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Silent Disaster wore her helmet again and walked out of the bedroom.
It was evident that it had no intention of interfering with the concrete plans to be discussed later.
Hackzord seemed to be used to his style of doing things. "Let's change the venue to discuss how to head to the Fog Island occupied by the Sky-sea Realm."
…
Not long after arriving at the base, Roland and Valkries were invited into a large hall by the receptionist.
There were already quite a number of peers in the hall, but most of them were gathered at the back. As for him, he was directly led to the front row. The person sitting beside him was rather familiar. It was the celebrity martial artist genius, Fei Yuhan.
After learning that he was unable to leave the Dream World, Roland was much calmer than he expected. Or rather, he was mentally prepared for the fact that the Oracle would not let the matter rest.
If he were in Neverwinter, he might have some worries, but now that the greatest threat to humanity, the Demon King's City, had been destroyed, and the floating island controlled by Eleanor was isolated from the outside world. Even if he were to remain unconscious, it would not affect the situation too much. All he needed to do was to seize the time and get rid of the Oracle that was causing trouble in the dark.
The three of them exchanged simple greetings. Although they only exchanged a few words, Roland could sense that Valkries treated Fei Yuhan much better than he did.
When did a senior lord and a celebrity martial artist become so close?
He had clearly been providing Peninsula Coffee all this while.
A few minutes later, Defender Rock walked into the hall.
"Everyone, we have a problem." His opening words immediately caused everyone to quieten down.
Following that, Rock pressed the control pen in his hand, and several photos were projected onto the wall behind him.
Upon seeing the contents of the photos, everyone simultaneously inhaled a breath of cold air.
Several bright red holes appeared on the streets of the city. They were of varying sizes, with the large ones nearly splitting a building in half, and the small ones nearly covering a car. Martial artists were no strangers to such things. It was this phenomenon known as "Erosion" that had destroyed Prism City.
Evidently, the residents within the range of the holes were beyond saving, but this was far from the worst case scenario.
Many Fallen Evils could be seen in the photos. They gathered around the holes, as though they wanted to throw themselves into the scarlet nothingness.
"Sacrifice," Fei Yuhan said softly.
"I guess so." Roland nodded. This was not the first time he had seen such a scene. During the joint annihilation mission, the enemy had used a large number of cores to trigger the Erosion and summon pure magic monsters. Now, they had merely skipped the middle step.
Now that the city they were in was still peaceful, it was obvious where the problem lay.
"These are all photos sent back from the surroundings of Sky City. It is currently in an extremely chaotic state," Rock said in a deep voice. Rock said in a low voice, "No one knows where they came from, and no one knows what the situation is like in the headquarters. There are cars and people fleeing everywhere. Even the martial artists who sent back these photos are probably dead." He paused. "This is a war started by the Fallen Evils. We have to act immediately and support Sky City!"
At this point, the Defender specially glanced at Roland.
"Considering that time is tight, the specific arrangements for the mission will be given to everyone when we arrive at the destination. In thirty minutes, the transport plane will arrive at the Association's encampment. At that time, everyone must set off immediately without delay. This mission has nothing to do with any faction, and it is also the best opportunity to prove your abilities. "
After the meeting ended in a hurry, the other party left him alone. "Mr. Roland … we are still one step too late."
Ever since he had demonstrated how to absorb the core power, the higher-ups of the Prism City had considered handing over the cores stored in the other branches to him as well. In fact, many branches had done so, but Sky City, as the center of the Association, had never given them a definite answer. Unexpectedly, the news they received this time was a nightmare.
Roland pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "Perhaps we were late from the beginning."
Rock was stunned for a moment before he understood what Roland was referring to. His expression changed drastically. "How is that possible? Not only are there several Defenders in Sky City, but the President also spoke to me on the phone not long ago. "
"Apart from that, I can't think of any reason why so many Fallen Evils would suddenly appear. Only Sky City can provide so many Force of Nature cores," Roland replied. "The sudden appearance of the red light from the top of Sky City, the enemies swarming into the streets, and the sudden opening of the Erosion. This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Now that I think about it, it's not hard to realize that they haven't made any new movements since the fall of Prism City. This itself is illogical. "
"…" Rock was speechless for a moment.
"So the President who spoke to you on the phone is either a dead person …" Roland said word by word. "Or the Oracle itself."
