On the "gate", there were pairs of evil eyes that were yellow and bloodshot. They were dense and did not blink at all. Despite the "marvelous domain", the sorcerers, Knight, and ordinary people who looked up from the ground felt that their minds were in a mess. They almost couldn't control the madness and the rising desire for slaughter.
Although the left arm of Maltimus' true demigod body did not recover as quickly as before and was still incomplete, the chaotic and bloody "gate" took shape rather slowly. Of course, the so-called slowness was only equal to the speed when Viken melted the primeval hell and Mountain Paradise earlier. In fact, it only took several seconds.
During those few seconds, the projections of the two universes, which were respectively the blue planet and the foggy planet, crossed the midline slowly but firmly. Their edges overlapped but did not disturb each other at all. Even the two asteroids that seemed to be crashing into each other passed through each other and flew away. They seemed to be right next to each other, but they were so far away that they could not be touched or approached. Even if they passed through each other, they would not know each other's existence!
As the edges of the two "cosmoses" began to overlap, the soul of "Lucien" that carried the features of Lucien and the soul that looked like Lucien and was not Lucien leaned closer and closer to each other, miraculously beginning to meld!
If they were two independent people who embraced each other's cosmos back to back just now, they were conjoined twins who shared their backs right now!
There was no dazzling light, no intense noises, and no other unimaginable anomalies. The two "Lucien" began to meld bit by bit in a weird way, as if the feeling that they did not belong to this world and were higher than this world grew clearer and clearer every time they were melted.
For some reason, the lost souls and the primeval devils inside the primeval hell began to tremble. Even though they did not have concrete bodies and were made of the light of negative feelings, all the intelligent lives who witnessed the scene were still trembling.
Gold, green, black, red, and all the other colors began to vibrate silently. The lost souls began to disintegrate, and so did the primeval devils, releasing the overwhelming attraction force that only the negative feelings and the primeval devils could sense.
Aglaea, the elven queen, was drawing the Bow of Nature's Punishment when her body suddenly became blurry. A shadow inside was twisting, as if it were trying to crawl out and melt into the primeval hell with the invisible attraction force.
As a result, Aglaea had to stop shooting and melted half of her body into the shadow of the elven tree behind her, binding the shadow with its roots.
On the thirty-fourth floor of the Allyn magic tower in the City in the Sky …
Although Brook was stronger than "Melmax" at this moment, and he had the help of "Hand of Annihilation" and "Prophet" Bergner, in order to protect the magic tower and Allyn from being destroyed and the arcanists from being affected, he had to devote most of his strength and attention to resolving the aftermath and controlling the situation. For a moment, the three legendary sorcerers were locked in a fierce battle with "Devil" Melmax. Brook's library was razed to the ground, and most of the rooms on this floor of the magic tower were destroyed.
Had it not been for the dark and deep magnetic field that twisted the environment and the cage made of silver, terrifying electric snakes, the battle of top legends would've destroyed the magic tower and half of Allyn.
However, no matter how difficult it was for Brook to hold on, he was not anxious at all, because he knew very well that Melmax's projection could not last long. All he needed to do was to avoid the chaos that he caused. The real key was still the battle of demigods and top legends in the sky.
Suddenly, Melmax, who had illuminated the space mist with the power of dawn, was frozen where he was. Shadows and negative light in different colors spurted out of his body and flew to the sky toward the primeval hell. Under the changes of the primeval hell caused by Lucien, he could barely resist the attraction force that came from his natural instincts without the help of his original body or the longsword of the Holy Avenger.
Although Brook, Oliver, and Bergner were too occupied to know what was going on in the sky, Melmax's changes could not be hidden from them. Seizing the opportunity, the Kingdom of Electromagnetism that Brook's projection arrived in constricted abruptly and bound Melmax inside. Oliver and Bergner, on the other hand, both cast legendary spells and pushed Melmax into the Kingdom of Electromagnetism.
Zi, zi, zi. Melmax passed through the electric curtain and entered the Kingdom of Electromagnetism. Brook was immediately relieved. He had nothing to worry about in there. After all, the students and servants who should've retreated had already evacuated from the Kingdom of Electromagnetism. In the demiplane, he was as strong as a demigod.
"I'll take care of him. You control the defense of Allyn," Brook said through the telepathic bond and entered the Kingdom of Electromagnetism.
Although the control hubs on this floor were all damaged, they were only part of it. There were still other control hubs in the libraries of Fernando, Hellen, Hathaway, and other grand arcanists on the thirty-third floor.
Oliver did not waste time. With the help of Prospell, he entered Fernando's library that was not closed and controlled the defense of Allyn.
It was not until this moment that they finally had the time to look at the sky and observe the battle carefully, ready to join it at any moment.
"Lucien is trying to break into the demigod level …" Oliver frowned and said, "But it's completely different from Mr. President's. It's not a demiplane versus the cognitive world plus the starry sky of destiny, but 'real starry sky' versus' real starry sky '."
The primeval devils might've thought that it was a different cognitive world, but the legendary sorcerers such as Oliver keenly sensed the fundamental difference between the two attempts to break into the demigod level. During Lucien's breakthrough, the Atomic Universe was only a medium and a primer. It was not an important part of the process itself.
Bergner asked in confusion, "Based on the observer effect? Is the feedback of the real world perhaps a kind of observer effect? "
"Perhaps …" Oliver said hesitantly, "In any case, if he succeeds in his advancement, Viken won't be able to make the breakthrough however tough he is."
… …
In the Nekso Palace in Renstadt …
A silver sword with a hideous gap in the void cut through the heavy defense around Atlant and hit him. However, he put on a weird smile, and his body collapsed abruptly like a broken mirror, as if a rock had been thrown into the water where he was reflected.
Another illusion? Natasha, who was holding the Sword of Truth with both hands, slightly changed her expression and dodged to one side. However, at this moment, an ancient voice echoed at the perfect moment.
"Vision Deprivation!"
Natasha's body bent like a bow as if she had been hit by a giant hammer. Blood flowed out of the corner of her eyes. She finally regained control of her body, but her silver-purple eyes lost their luster. It seemed that she would not be able to see anything in front of her for a short period of time.
Atlant, who had been transformed into the state of primeval devils, truly showed how unpredictable he was. Since the beginning of the battle, Natasha's Sword of Truth had hit him seventeen times, but ten of them were illusions, and seven of them were the deaths of a certain noble or Knight outside instead of him!
Even with the help of Morris' defense circle, Natasha could not tell whether the Atlant before her was real or not. Therefore, while she attacked with full strength, she was deprived of her senses bit by bit by Atlant's' Perception Deprivation '. She lost her sense of hearing, touch, smell, and vision one after another.
Closing her eyes, Natasha sensed the surroundings with her willpower and intuition. Suddenly, she slashed her sword again, and the silver sword was cold and indifferent.
After the sound of the void being torn apart echoed, Atlant's body was revealed and hit by the sword.
However, the body was still broken like a mirror, and it did not feel real at all.
"Perception Deprivation!" Atlant's voice came from all directions, and Natasha became dim all of a sudden, as if she were the only one standing where she was in the whole world.
Seeing that, Atlant's shadows with his eyes closed appeared around her. He smiled and said, "As I said, you can't stop me. I'll trade your life for the people inside the Allyn magic tower to activate the teleportation magic circles."
Faced with such a powerful legendary Knight, Atlant's' Perception Deprivation 'could not directly deprive her of her senses and intuition. He could only do it step by step.
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when he suddenly opened his eyes, and a silver sword was reflected in them.
Crack. All the illusions were broken, and a shadow made of colorful, twisted light popped up, crumbling under the hideous illusionary gaps.
"How … How did you find me?" Atlant struggled before he died, with intense disbelief in his voice. Even Natasha could not find him when she had all the senses, willpower, and intuition. How could she do it right now?
Clang. A uniquely-shaped 'silver' necklace appeared in Natasha's hands, emitting the crisp sound of metal collisions.
Although Atlant did not recognize the item, he could tell what it was for. It could at least help Natasha resist a few attacks of illusion, but just now …
"You …" His body was on the verge of destruction.
Natasha seemed to have heard his question. Her lackluster eyes gradually recovered, and she chuckled.
"I did it on purpose."
"This is a legendary item that Lucien specially crafted with the materials in the treasury of the Kingdom of Holm, but it could not help me find you. So, I intentionally let you deprive me of my senses and intuition, because my eyes, ears, and intuition can deceive me, too … Only by eliminating their interference and sensing with my 'mind' can I really 'see' this world and you who are hiding in darkness."
"Yes, I've been practicing meditation since a long time ago. Or rather, I've been practicing in silence without the senses and intuition."
She changed Lucien's quote so that Atlant would understand what was going on.
At this moment, the enormous attraction force from the primeval hell came over, and the light of negative feelings flew out of Atlant's body, making his eyes clear again. He coughed and said regretfully, "Why … Why didn't you do it earlier? That way, I wouldn't have been controlled by Viken."
Natasha stepped forward, her boots echoing on the ground. She said solemnly, "Although I don't want to say that to a dying man, I can't help but say that instead of complaining that the change of the primeval hell is too late, you might as well blame yourself for making the decision earlier and for not choosing your path after Mr. President became a demigod."
Atlant heaved a long sigh, and his body completely collapsed.
Under the Sword of Truth, it was impossible for him to be resurrected.
Natasha raised her head and observed the changes in the sky with her half-recovered eyesight. She said to herself with a smile, "Why didn't you do it earlier? That way, I wouldn't have had to take such risks …"
As a matter of fact, she could've hidden in the Atomic Universe with the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit and the rest of them. Atlant couldn't have broken in at all, but at such a moment, she felt that she had to stay with her subjects.
… …
The chaotic and evil gate opened with a bang, and a meatball with countless eyes and limbs of different races rolled out. The feeling of blood, slaughter, and madness completely spread out.
At this moment, the "blast" of the two "Lucien" came to an end. Their "bodies" below their heads had been completely melted, and only their faces were still facing their respective cosmos.
The two 'Luciens' suddenly put on a painful expression. They raised their heads again and began the final fusion. The two cosmos with the blue planet and the foggy planet no longer overlapped and did not interfere with each other as before. Weird squeaking noises were echoing between them as they rubbed each other!
BOOM!
The volcanoes in hell erupted at the same time. Every devil could feel the void around them trembling, shaking, and creaking. It was as if the entire world was about to shatter, as if another huge universe was crashing into them from a place they couldn't see!
No!
The illusionary feeling gave them real feelings. All the devils screamed and cried from the bottom of their hearts. For a moment, the whole hell was filled with screams and cries. Even the few dukes of hell couldn't help but tremble, not knowing where their fear came from.
In Allyn and Renstadt, Heidi, Annick, Ali and the rest of them also "heard" the noises of the void around them, as if something on the other side was crushing it and making it about to fall apart under the enormous pressure.
What was going on?
Shock, panic, fear, delight, and all the other feelings burst out at the same time!
Some were scared, some were trembling, some were kneeling, and some were excited!
