Brook's spiritual power covered the entire library. He controlled the pivot of the magic circle, commanded the tower spirit, controlled the defense of Allyn, and controlled the overall situation of the City in the Sky. He could not spare too much attention to the archmage. He asked from the other side of the library, "What's the anomaly?"
How could he not notice the anomaly of the City in the Sky when he controlled the defense?
The archmage said in a hurry, "A few members of the Highest Council should've returned, but they haven't!"
While talking, he walked into the library in a hurry. However, Brook was too distracted to remove the defense magic circles. He simply asked, "Who are they?"
"Yes …" The archmage mumbled a word and suddenly lunged forward. His whole body became fuzzy and twisted, as if he were made of light in different colors.
Zi, zi, zi. In weird noises, the devil-like shadow passed through the first magic circle, but it soon became solid again between the two magic circles.
Then, it moved through the magic circles nonstop and lunged at Brook at the center.
Every time the effect of the magic circle appeared, it would turn from real to illusory, as if it were in another world. It would permeate the space and pass through smoothly. However, it seemed that it could not last long in such a state and would soon collapse again. Therefore, it could not pass through the layers of magic circles directly. It had to rely on the precise perception of the operation of the magic circles to find the gap between the ebb and flow of the magic circles.
It was not until then that Brook realized that the "infected" of the primeval devil was not a regular person. He had been possessed by a powerful primeval devil with the special seed that was planted in his heart a long time ago.
He stared at the "primeval devil" with lightning flashing in his eyes, trying to figure out who the original person was.
The face of the "devil" was changing nonstop. It was now young, now old, now handsome, now hideous, now dazzling.
However, Brook recognized one of the faces. He asked in shock, "Melmax?"
The only top epic Knight today!
"Melmax" laughed crazily. "Melmax is already dead. The one standing here is one of the clones of Viken, the true god!"
Brook sighed, as if he had understood something. "You are the most determined, devout, and self-aware Knight that I've ever seen. I didn't know that you would choose the path of the primeval devils, too. Also, you used the primitive way without a container to share the negative feelings."
Not every member of the Grand Cardinals could find a legendary false god or a Demon Lord as their container. After all, there were only so many experts of that level. Therefore, many of them eventually chose "Thanos' version", which had a lot of hidden problems. Melmax, who was determined and believed that he could overcome the negative feelings, was the first to complete it. Also, after he completed it, there was not much influence at all. At the very least, there were no hidden problems before he became a demigod.
Unfortunately, after being used and assimilated by Viken this time, the negative emotions in his heart had completely exploded.
Under Viken's manipulation, the "primeval devils" that the twelve Grand Cardinals turned into possessed different people with the "Seeds of Corruption" that they planted before, trying to raise chaos and create more negative feelings for Viken to absorb.
Of course, such "Seeds of Corruption" that could avoid the defense of Allyn or the blockage of Renstadt's divine power circle had a high requirement. The target had to open their body and mind wholeheartedly so that the devil could be projected into their body. Also, they had to have negative feelings that exceeded the threshold in the first place.
What was even more difficult and inconspicuous was another kind of projection, which was the projections that Viken controlled of the legendary experts such as Saint Maria and Philip. Under such circumstances, only certain clerics who were highly pious could be successfully projected without a sound under the cover of the grace of the God of Truth when they were "helped" to break into the legendary level and resonate with "Mountain Paradise". The target would not be aware of anything until their body and mind were controlled at the critical moment.
"This is my dedication to the Lord. You untrustworthy sorcerers will never understand." "Devil" Melmax's face of hatred and pain suddenly became solemn. Then, a sun slowly rose behind him, dyeing the sky and illuminating the darkness. It was clear but not dazzling.
Under such circumstances, he was still able to use his blood power of "Dawn"!
It seemed that his understanding of blood power exceeded all the legendary experts and grasped the essence of it. No wonder he was the only top Knight today.
Brook sighed again and ordered Prospell to seal the top three floors. Electric currents burst out around him, and a magnetic field appeared. The darkness was distorted. It was the arrival of the Kingdom of Electromagnetism.
He was trying to drag "Melmax" into his demiplane to fight, in case the other sorcerers in Allyn were affected.
However, "Melmax" was here to create chaos and more negative feelings. How could he give up the opportunity? Although the body and soul of an archmage could only carry out the strength of a top legend for a short time, it was enough to resist the powerful attraction from the Kingdom of Electromagnetism at the beginning.
"He's George, Atlant's student. Where's Atlant?" Brook suddenly thought of that during the battle.
… …
In the Nekso Palace in the city of Renstadt …
A silver sword flashed, and a Knight in a solid, delicate armor saw that his body had been cut into two halves, with the twisted expression of jealousy and hatred still lingering on his face.
Crack, crack, crack. The two halves of his body were dissected into countless pieces of meat and broken bones by the illusionary and hideous gaps, falling to the ground like raindrops.
Seeing that, seeing the tall and straight back before them, and seeing her long purple hair and silver armor, the nobles who were hiding in the Nekso Palace heaved a long sigh of relief, but their bodies were still shivering beyond their control. It was too horrible! A heavenly Knight had turned into a devil and killed so many nobles. If the queen hadn't arrived in time, they probably would've been killed by him!
Winston, another legendary Knight in the Kingdom of Holm, was watching over the territory of the alternate dimension. Therefore, they placed all their hopes on Queen Natasha.
"Rest assured. The Congress of Magic has a good study on the primeval devils. Few of the powerful Knights have been projected, or they wouldn't have been able to fool us. As for the low-rank knights and ordinary people, few of them have enough negative feelings to satisfy the primeval devils' preliminary infection. I've asked the Knight Legion of the Sword of Truth and the Apologetic Knight Legion to take action and eliminate the 'infected' with the cooperation of the police. Renstadt will be peaceful again very soon." Natasha made her clear and calm voice sound.
She knew very well that the scale of the chaos and damage caused by the 'infected' were limited, and it wouldn't take long before everything was settled. What really decided everybody's fate was the battle of demigods and top legends in the sky.
Her Majesty's unhurried tone, steady and firm attitude, and straight back calmed the nobles' trembling hearts, and all kinds of negative emotions began to dissipate.
At this moment, John walked out of a secret room in the palace with Chorre, Alisa, the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit and the rest of them. On his back, he carried a thick spear that emitted silver metal colors and was full of dense symbols that represented electricity and magnetism. It was the 'Gauss Rifle' that Lucien made for him in person. One shot equaled one attack of a heavenly Knight. With John's strength and the enhancement of his equipment, he could use three shots.
"Let's go to the Atomic Universe." Natasha said to her father, Chorre, and John in front of all the nobles without any hesitation. Their safety could be guaranteed there.
John nodded and led the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit and the rest of them into the shining portal on Natasha's left.
Seeing that, the nobles suddenly became vivid, brimming with intense expectation and hope. If they entered the Atomic Universe too, wouldn't they be able to avoid the chaos outside and the attacks that might come from nowhere?
"Your Majesty, can you let us enter the Atomic Universe too? We will only be a nuisance to you if we stay here and distract you from protecting us. "A Count took the lead and said.
"Yes! We will be safe if we hide in the Atomic Universe! "
"Your Majesty, we are all your loyal subjects. Please protect us."
The nobles echoed excitedly. For a moment, it seemed that this idea was supported by everyone and the "people".
Natasha leaned to one side and stood before the portal. Looking around at the nobles, she said solemnly, "You can hide here. There is no need to go to the Atomic Universe."
"Why? Your Majesty, are we not your subjects? "
"Your Majesty, are you going to abandon the contract between the king and the nobles? Are you no longer fulfilling your obligation to protect us? "
"You don't deserve to be the queen!"
Suspicion and condemnation burst out of the nobles' mouths. The near-death experience just now had accumulated too much fear for them. After being rejected by Natasha, they burst out immediately.
"My father, Aunt Camille, Lucien's Uncle Chorre, Aunt Alisa, and the rest of them have been under the protection of Lucien and me for a long time. I'm certain that they are not corrupted by primeval devils or possessed by projections, but I can't be sure about you. So, for the safety of the Atomic Universe …" Natasha did not roar but spoke calmly, as if she were ordering the dishes that should be prepared tonight. "Whoever approaches the portal will die."
"Leave her alone. Let's go to the Atomic Universe. She won't dare to kill us! Unless she doesn't want to be the queen anymore! " In the crowd, a noble shouted. His voice was immediately echoed enthusiastically. The nobles who had been scared out of their wits by the death just now all crowded to the portal.
A cold and ruthless sword flashed, and the few nobles at the front saw that their upper bodies were separated from their lower bodies. Their blood sprayed all over the crowd behind them.
"She … She really dares to kill us …" Stunned, the nobles stood where they were, not having the courage to move forward anymore.
Natasha's silver eyes were indifferent and emotionless. "As I said, whoever approaches the portal will die."
The Sword of Truth pointed at the ground, and the nobles suddenly stepped back subconsciously.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly echoed in the crowd. "When did you discover me?"
The nobles were so scared that they stepped aside, revealing the old man who had been hiding at the center. His face kept changing, from a Count that everybody was familiar with to a weathered old man. The only thing they had in common was that "they" both had their eyes closed.
"Atlant, it's you …" Natasha raised the Sword of Truth and chuckled in a low voice. "There are indeed loopholes in the whole thing. For example, the nobles' emotions are too exaggerated, and the heavenly Knight was too focused on torturing just now, which led them to this place. Of course, it can all be explained by negative feelings and primeval devils, but it makes no difference to me, because even without your order, I would've killed anyone who dared approach the portal even if it was a normal thing."
"At such a moment, the safety of the Atomic Universe has to be ensured. After all, Lucien's resurrection methods are all in Babel. I can't be careless at all."
Suddenly, the portal glittered, and John walked out.
"You?" Natasha asked in confusion.
John said solemnly, "I'm your Knight and the captain of the Sword of Truth's Knight Legion. At such a moment, I have to stay with my teammates and protect the peace of Holm together."
After a brief silence, Natasha nodded her head. "You can go now."
Atlant watched John leave and the nobles escape from the palace in silence. He said with a bitter smile, "A real Knight … I want to be like him, but I didn't know until today that I would be controlled by Viken after I transformed into the state of primeval devils."
"Although you have the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Truth, I'm a real level-three legendary now. You can't stop me from destroying all of Lucien's resurrection arrangements."
After Lucien left, the portal to the Atomic Universe in the Allyn magic tower was half-closed. Only with the permission of the people inside could it be entered. Therefore, the gate of the Nekso Palace became Atlant's target.
Natasha listened quietly, then suddenly turned around and slashed with her sword.
The silver-gray light flashed, and the teleportation gate began to dim. Then, it collapsed with a bang.
Looking at Atlant's shock and disbelief, Natasha put on a delightful smile that was as beautiful as the rising sun.
"Now, I can't get in either."
