Chapter 1017: Chapter 662 Descent Ceremony (Extra Chapter for Alliance Hierarch "Not that I don’t want love, but no one wants me")

When Polaris awoke from his bewildered consciousness, he found himself in a dim and spacious hall.

His hands and feet were restrained by specially made cold shackles, and a data cable was inserted into the interface behind his ear. It felt as if all his strength had been drained, and his Supernatural Power was no longer usable.

Beside him were Su Keying, Wei Yin, Pumpkin, and Sunny Xiaoyu, all similarly confined on a forty-five-degree inclined metal bed.

Their eyes gradually cleared, and then they all showed expressions of shock, anger, and panic.

"Where are we, Big Brother Bei?"

Pumpkin furrowed her eyebrows slightly and whispered.

Polaris strained to turn his neck, enduring the pain at the data interface, and looked around.

In the dim hall, hundreds of metal beds were arranged. At the center was a massive cylindrical glass tank filled with a thick, transparent yellow-brown liquid, with a mass of Azure Fire constantly burning and dancing within.

The head of each metal bed had a complex mechanical structure from which data cables extended, all converging into that giant glass tank, as if to power the flame.

Further away, at the end of the hall, was a high platform with over a hundred giant screens hanging on it, along with holographic projections made of azure light.

Dozens of figures were bustling on the high platform, seemingly studying something.

"This should be the warehouse area we were in before, the giant building in the middle, where all the supernatural players have been captured and brought here..."

Polaris said in a deep voice.

"What does the Federation want to do?!"

"Why capture us..."

Pumpkin, Su Keying, and the others spoke anxiously.

Just then, a burst of cheering came down from the platform.

Polaris looked over and saw those figures excitedly gesturing at the screens.

On the screen was a vast, boundless Earth and several rocket launch centers.

A gigantic rocket ship full of technological flair was slowly ascending, spewing several thick beams of azure light.

Seeing the fleeting Federation emblem on the ship, along with the flame pattern representing the Azure Holy Church, Polaris was instantly speechless with shock.

"The ’Ark’ launched?! How can this be..."

The "Ark" developed by the Federation Research Center under the guidance of the Azure Holy Church was no secret to the Federation’s citizens.

For hundreds of years, this plan had been steadily progressing.

The Holy Church claimed it was creating a spaceship to carry the seed of humanity away from the Azure Star System, to the Divine Kingdom of "the Great Shelter Master", seeking refuge to avoid an impending apocalypse on Azure Star.

But with Azure Star’s level of technology, despite being very advanced, it could at most support manned activity within the star system, and leaving the system was entirely impossible.

Conservative estimates suggested that it would take at least a few thousand more years of development before a rocket ship could travel beyond the solar wind to the unknown Starry Sky.

The image of the Ark ascending was deeply etched in Polaris’s eyes.

This fact came so abruptly that he was left speechless with shock.

The supernatural players confined on the metal beds also witnessed this scene and began to stir.

For they could easily connect the dots, thinking that the continuous extraction of their Supernatural Power by the Holy Fire in the hall’s center might be related to the "Ark".

"Fucking Federation! Damn Consortiums!!"

"Let me go! You’re treating me like scrap?!"

"Ah ah ah!"

Rage and panic boiled over in the hall.

Yet the figures on the platform were indifferent, fully focused on watching the screen.

Only to see the "Ark" reaching high altitude, about to exit the atmosphere, its image still captured by unknown means.

The scene switched.

It entered the interior of the ship.

A middle-aged man in an azure spacesuit faced the camera, his face showing an excited smile and anticipation.

"This is the ’Ark’ cockpit, Seek Fire Project leader, Lu Haiyun."

"This is the Holy Fire transmission platform on Azure Star, Bishop Lu, how is the situation?"

A lady on the platform asked.

"Everything is smooth. Archbishop Xu Shouyi is in hibernation, and if any accidents occur, his presence will ensure nothing major goes wrong."

The middle-aged astronaut laughed.

"The power of the Holy Fire is far stronger than we imagined. As long as the power supply continues, we’ll soon be able to leave Azure Star and enter space... At that time, the entire ’Ark’ will accelerate beyond light speed, completing the anticipated flicker jump and breaking free from the star system’s constraints."

"Transmission platform received instructions, please rest assured, Bishop Lu."

The woman on the platform responded.

She then turned and whispered to the person beside her.

Polaris saw Luo Shan walking to the platform’s edge with his hands behind his back, manipulating some levers on the console and making several adjustments.

Only to hear a piercing scream.

"Ah!!!"

Not far from Polaris, on a metal bed, a restrained man suddenly arched his body like a great bow, his skin writhing, muscles twitching, violently white-eyed, screaming endlessly.

The data interface behind his ear even splattered blood, as indescribable invisible power surged through the data lines into the central cylindrical glass tank, causing the Azure Fire inside to flare up slightly.

The man’s tragic state did not last long, and soon he collapsed with a thud, motionless, his limbs twisted, his face contorted in agony.

"He’s dead!!"

"Drained of life and Supernatural Power to supply the ’Holy Fire’!"

"Fuck! I don’t want to die!!"

The hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

A mix of noisy curses and agonized shouts filled the air.

Polaris’s pupils also contracted sharply.

For the sake of achieving their doctrine, the Federation and the Holy Church committed such horrendous acts, forcibly capturing supernatural players to extract their life and power to fuel the Holy Fire!

"Ah!!"

"Ah ah!!!"

The cries of agony rose again, as Agent Luo Shan on the platform continued manipulating the metal bed levers expressionlessly, activating the highest level of "extraction".

Gradually, the curses in the hall turned into wails and pleas.

These captured people, though bestowed with Supernatural Power, were ultimately once ordinary individuals and could not remain calm in the face of true life and death.

"Big Brother Bei! What do we do?!"

Pumpkin looked at the struggling, screaming men and women on the metal beds, trembling with fear.

And those subjected to "extraction" seemed to be proceeding in bed order, soon it would be their turn!

Polaris’s face was grim, but his eyes flashed with helplessness.

Unable to use his Supernatural Power, it was impossible to save himself.

After thinking hard for a moment, Polaris sighed heavily.

He closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Keying, Wei Yin, Pumpkin, and Sunny Xiaoyu looked equally despairing.

Even Big Brother Bei has given up...

All they could do now was await death!

However, Polaris was silently praying in his heart, praying to the Sun Continent, so far away that he didn’t know where, and praying to his teacher, Jack Spett...

"Teacher, Subei beseeches you to descend, beseeches you to save us poor souls, punish the Azure Federation and the Holy Church."

Boom!!

A cluster of pale flames suddenly ignited on the rooftop of the Gleaming Eagle Building.

Mysterious and dazzling flames illuminated the surroundings.

"We did it! We succeeded!!"

Dongyang was filled with excitement, clenching his fists.

Beside him were Doghead Gold, Forget No Taboo, and Chenxi, among others, the ladies did not heed Polaris’s words but came here to assist Dongyang in completing the summoning ritual.

After overcoming several hurdles, they finally found the remaining ritual materials and, guided by Dongyang, bypassed security and surveillance to reach the rooftop.

Fortunately, the ceremony proceeded smoothly!

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing excitement in each other’s faces.

Rumble——

However, a loud sound came from the sky.

Dongyang and the others looked up, only to find that the sky was covered with clouds at some point, lightning and thunderclaps filled the air.

In the distant, a rocket soared skyward, flashing out of sight.

"Is that... a rocket?"

Doghead Gold questioned.

Dongyang cursed softly:

"How could it rain?! If the ritual is interrupted, it’s over!"

Just as predicted, with everyone’s horrified expressions, torrential rain poured down, the sound of raindrops hitting the rooftop splashed out a hazy mist, obscuring the view.

Yet, the pale flames remained unaffected!

Still burning brightly!

Dongyang and the others were initially startled, then exhaled in relief.

"Phew... scared me to death!"

Doghead Gold patted his chest while drenched in rain.

Within the pale flames, the Albino Brocade Snake was not burned to death; instead, it curled up tamely, comfortably flicking its tongue.

Soon, at a visibly growing pace, the Albino Brocade Snake’s body slowly sprouted brilliant crystalline substances...

"It’s Jack’s kind of strength!"

"That’s right! The ritual really works!!"

Dongyang and the others exclaimed.

Sun Continent, inside the Forget No Taboo tavern within the rift of The Otherworld.

Chen Lun was conversing with Conrad and three True Gods when his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Jing Yao noticed his unusual behavior but did not inquire.

Chen Lun lowered his gaze, involuntarily taking a deep breath.

The Polaris Squad succeeded...

He just felt the prayers and calls emanating from far beyond the starry sky!

*

*

Dongyang and the others looked more and more aghast.

For the pale flames were gradually extinguishing, and the Albino Brocade Snake had completely transformed into a Crystallization Snake, its body swelling as if something inside was ready to burst out...

Bam!!

Crystalline dust exploded, the snake shattered completely.

The dazzling dust cloud, defying the laws of physics, drifted around in the rainstorm, under the gloomy sky, a lightning bolt streaked across—

An indescribable mysterious power spread.

A figure gradually materialized from the dust cloud.

Dongyang and the others held their breath, staring intently at the silhouette.

Tap, tap...

The silhouette moved, stepping slowly through the rain toward the group.

Wearing a black, tailored suit, holding a smooth and warm ivory white carved cane, beneath the black top hat was a face too perfect to be real, with deep dark eyes that carried a smile.

"It’s an honor to arrive in your homeland..."

He breathed in the refreshing rain.

In his heart, he added nostalgically:

"Of course, this is my homeland too, finally returned..."

Dongyang, Doghead Gold, and Chenxi breathed deeply, staring blankly at the figure in disbelief.

Jack, he had truly descended into reality...

Boom!!

The Great Gate to the rooftop blasted open with enormous force!

A squad of heavily armed Federation personnel rushed in, surrounding everyone.

In the sky, three helicopters arrived, shining down harsh lights.

"You are surrounded! Immediately cease resistance, put your hands on your head, and kneel right where you are! Otherwise, we will take forced measures!"

The cold mechanical warning echoed from the loudspeaker.

Click, click!

Dozens of Federation personnel raised their rifles, aiming the dark muzzles at the group.

On the three helicopters, several heavy six-barreled machine guns aimed at the rooftop, ready to unleash a storm of seven thousand rounds per minute.

Dongyang and the others felt tense, but their gaze from the corner of their eyes reassured them upon seeing the sleek black figure...

Only to see the black-hatted Gentleman slowly raise a hand.

"Warning! Do not act rashly!"

"Warning again!"

The Gentleman remained indifferent until he pointed his palm at the armed personnel.

"Warning ineffective! Open fire immediately!!"

Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam!!!
