Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Ritual is Complete, Super Memory C-Level (Huge Chapter, Asking for Monthly Tickets)

"What is that?"

Ji Po, who was at the periphery of the vehicles, raised his head to look at the pattern in the sky.

It was a crimson crown, drawn from countless complex patterns.

A deadly oppression emanated from the pattern, inciting an almost irresistible fear in everyone’s hearts to prostrate before it.

It seemed as though the ruler inside the pattern was a natural born leader, the sovereign of the land, the leader of life, the ’King’ of this earth.

The Array then rippled like water, slowly turning into a huge phantom.

It was a colossal vertical eye, and around it were similarly shaped, smaller ’eyes’ lying horizontally. These smaller eyes were linked together, forming a massive ’star ring’ that spun rapidly around the central colossal vertical eye.

All these eyes were filled with bright red blood vessels, the whites of the eyes turning yellow, and the deepest part being a brown-red color like the abyss itself.

They rotated, their ’gaze’ fixed upon different people.

Twisted whispers echoed in everyone’s ears, a language no one could understand, but the meaning behind the whispers was clear to all.

Submit!

Submit!

Submit to the great King!

Bang—

At the head of the Velora, a C-level dressed in World Tree attire slowly knelt down, trembling as he lay prostrate on the ground.

Wu Lan watched the gigantic phantom in the sky. At first, she found the phantom terribly twisted and horrifying, but gradually the whispers in her ears grew louder and louder.

She suddenly felt the phantom was so beautiful, filled with authority and power, that she couldn’t help but want to bow down and listen to its commands.

It seemed that being commanded by it was the happiest thing in the world.

"Close your eyes! Don’t look at it!"

Just as she was about to fall to her knees, Yang De’s voice suddenly reached her ears.

Yang De had already appeared beside her, grasping her wrist.

The moment the monstrous phantom appeared, a strong electromagnetic disturbance pierced through all communication devices.

Who is this···

Wu Lan couldn’t recognize the familiar voice, her mind deep in turmoil, feeling as if she should heed the instructions of the grand presence in the sky, to prostrate before it and become its loyal servant.

Hum—

But in the final moment of her descent, a sound like a great bell rang out deep in her mind, awakening her from her sinking thoughts.

Her blurred vision cleared once more, and she turned her head to look at the person pulling her, "Old Yang?"

"You’re awake?!"

Yang De was somewhat surprised, then he immediately said, "Don’t look up, your spiritual power is too weak, retreat to the edge."

"I don’t know," Wu Lan was somewhat dazed, "it seems like someone pulled me back at the crucial moment."

Then she looked at Yang De, "What exactly is that?"

"If I’m not mistaken," Yang De took a deep breath, "an A-level."

"A-level?"

Wu Lan paused briefly.

She had imagined countless times what an A-level Transcendent might look like, but had never conceived of the scene before her eyes.

This was no longer a ’Transcendent’ but was purely a monster as if stepped right out of mythology.

"You head to the southern primeval forest first and meet Ji Po. You remember the evacuation plan we went over before, right? Enact the plan and retreat, don’t hesitate," Yang De said without giving her time to be startled, immediately telling her what to do.

At that moment, everyone’s attention was captivated by the phantom in the sky, making it the best opportunity for them to leave.

"Okay."

Wu Lan knew this was not a time for reflection or contemplation, yet her thoughts immediately went to the youth among the crowd, "What about He Ao?"

"I’ll go find him, you leave right away," Yang De said and then ran deeper into the train.

At this moment, his heart was filled with intense unease; He Ao was close to the Velora, and the Velora was the epicenter of the entire outbreak.

The two C-levels from World Tree who were at the head of the vehicle were already showing signs of losing control, and the situation of the C-levels around the entire Vinora was not optimistic.

Yang De did not know whether this young man could withstand the most intense mental shock at the core.

His heart was in suspense.

—

Meanwhile, He Ao, leaning against the interior of the carriage, retracted his "gaze" that had been fixed on Wu Lan.

After the pseudo-super-level advancement, the field of vision he could see had become extremely wide.

Wu Lan was the closest to the Velora among Yang De’s group of three, but her mental strength was the weakest, so she was quickly contaminated by that "Angel" in the sky.

However, He Ao had noticed this early on, and while she was not completely drawn into the rhythm of contamination, he quickly used Mental Disturbance to disturb those strange spirits, pulling her back from the brink of madness.

Even in the face of a severe shortage of sacrifices, the power displayed by the Angel in the sky was abnormally strong.

The gap between C-level and B-level was already huge, and it now seemed that the gap from B-level to A-level was even more terrifying.

The C-levels approaching the Velora, the World Tree, and the Moonlight were more or less disturbed by the Angel’s projection in the sky, and among the five who were still alive, the two closest to the carriage head were already prostrate on the ground.

But even so, the remaining three were still struggling to hold on to the net that imprisoned the Velora, controlling the movement of the Velora.

Liu Zhengyun’s party of three also stopped in the distance, looking at the sky with some shock.

"Is that an A-level from the relics?"

Sloane and Rudel had cornered Liu Zhengyun against a cliffside dead end and briefly halted their assault, Sloane’s face somber, "Is it trying to descend into the main world?"

Rudel also looked up at the Angel overhead, his gaze somber.

Now there wasn’t a single A-level existence in the whole main world, and the result of this A-level’s advent would be catastrophic.

"Rudel, no matter how we fight to the death, we’re all human beings. Compared to the monsters in the relics, our own strength is negligible," Liu Zhengyun quickly said.

Before, Rudel had helped Moonlight attack him because the Research Institute was currently the strongest, and they wanted to weaken the Research Institute’s power. However, the World Tree, Research Institute, and Moonlight were all organizations on the side of order, with the ultimate goal of maintaining order within a certain area.

If an A-level descended into the main world, it would be a devastating blow to world order.

Moreover, Westlank was not only close to Central Earth but also to the Western Lands, occupying a buffer zone between the two. If an A-level descended in Westlank, it would be a major shock to both Central Earth and the Western Lands.

On the other hand, the Tia Empire, not directly connected to the continental plates and situated in the ocean, would suffer fewer repercussions.

At this moment, the Research Institute had, in fact, a common interest with the World Tree.

Rudel remained silent, his lack of response being the greatest response. Liu Zhengyun pressed further, "It’s obvious this A-level is using that carriage as a medium to descend. If we join forces and destroy that carriage, we might be able to prevent this disaster."

Rudel still said nothing; he neither agreed nor refused.

"Your homeland is the Ruola Republic, right? The borders of the Ruola Republic are less than five hundred kilometers from Westlank. Your friends, descendants, and relatives, they must still be living in the Ruola Republic, aren’t they?" Liu Zhengyun advanced step by step.

Rudel didn’t speak, but hesitation was evident in his eyes.

"Rudel, if we let this guy live and return, will the Research Institute give up pursuing today’s matters? You have to be thorough in your actions; indecision leads only to a dead end," said Sloane, tightening his grip on the Bone-cleaving Knife as he saw his teammate wavering. "We’ll finish him off with all our might, and then I’ll join you in destroying that carriage."

The Phantom Shadow’s murmurs in the sky, although they had taken control of one or two C-levels, still had little effect on B-levels.

It was clear there was still some time before the A-level’s Advent, enough time to kill Liu Zhengyun.

Upon hearing this, Rudel, though still hesitant, quickly swung his Magic Wand; he couldn’t completely trust Liu Zhengyun.

But the short conversation had given Liu Zhengyun a brief respite, and he abruptly utilized his Magic Wand, charging with the two men toward the location of the Velora.

He had to find a way to destroy the carriage or stop the Advent; otherwise, the impact of this A-level’s Advent on Central Earth would be too great.

—

Seeing Liu Zhengyun rushing over here, He Ao breathed a sigh of relief; the situation was indeed developing as he had anticipated.

Next would be the final ’performance.’

The clone inside the carriage clutched the red bead in his hand, submerging his Divine Sense into it, activating the Array within, then tossed the bead out, landing it precisely at the core of a peculiar pattern within the carriage head.

Following that, a series of crimson lines burst forth from the bead, forming a massive Array.

At the same time, the blood-red bead began to slowly sink, merging into the floor of the carriage head.

And the Array spreading out from the bead was also slowly falling, bit by bit aligning with the existing patterns of the carriage head.

Soon after, these patterns began to combine with the original patterns and then gradually replaced them.

There was no sound in this process, and the Ritual Array of the carriage head did not react at all.

In a very short time, the patterns from the bead had replaced the original patterns.

Faintly, He Ao felt he had formed some connection with the carriage, and immediately after, this connection rapidly strengthened. Every space, every detail of the carriage, appeared in his perception.

Indeed, as he had expected.

This Array was the Control Array of the carriage.

The Angel in the sky used this kind of Array to control the carriage, and the person who instigated Jin Ya to come here had a similar Array engraved inside the bead, waiting for Jin Ya to enter the carriage head. Then the ’scapegoat’ would take over and become the master of the carriage.

Only, the bead ultimately ended up in the hands of He Ao.

Initially, He Ao hadn’t quite understood the meaning of the Array inside the bead until he saw a similar Array in the carriage head.

The person behind Jin Ya’s entrance clearly wasn’t on the same side as the angels in the sky, or else Jin Ya wouldn’t have been killed so easily.

If they weren’t on the same side, then why would that person carve an array that was almost identical?

Unless that array served some special purpose.

From the start, He Ao had deduced that the angels conducting the ceremony didn’t trust this vehicle, and since they didn’t, there must be a way to control it.

What is at the core of control rights?

It’s not about the degree of control, nor about the command; it’s about direction.

To ensure that the controlled object can be directed towards the master and can be controlled by the master.

A prop doesn’t have to be particularly useful, but it’s essential to ascertain who the master is.

The entire Ritual Array had only two places that clearly indicated a target.

One was at the core of the Descending part, pointing to the descender, symbolized by the pattern of the angel; the other was this pattern, similar to the red bead’s array, also depicting that angel.

The red bead came from the Secret Art Mage Jin Ya, a B-level subordinate hidden within Daybreak. To be precise, this red bead originated from the hidden B-level individual, called "Boss."

The "Boss" held the central processor from the relic within the high tower, which likely stored much secret knowledge unknown to the vast majority in the Main World today.

Putting oneself in the "Boss’s" shoes, sending Jin Ya into the Velora would either be a test to toughen up a subordinate, or more likely, it was for controlling this vehicle.

The Velora exhibited tremendous uncontrollability, as both Liu Zhengyun and Sloane tried to forcefully subdue it before finding a way to slowly gain control.

And the "Boss," situated between several major forces and unable to reveal themselves, would definitely need to resort to more cunning methods that played to their strengths.

For instance, by acquiring control over the vehicle through some secret knowledge unknown to everyone else.

Thus, what Jin Ya brought onto the vehicle was something that could control it.

Despite the Main World’s general ignorance of secret knowledge, the "Boss" still took extra precautions with that nearly indecipherable red bead.

Considering the similarity of the red bead’s array with the vehicle’s internal array, He Ao boldly inferred that this was the array controlling the vehicle.

The facts also proved his deduction to be correct.

There was an element of luck, but it was also Super Memory and Divine Sense, coupled with his knowledge of mysticism, that enabled him to decipher the array inside the red bead and at the vehicle’s head, which allowed him a chance of correct conjecture and the ability to turn these guesses into a strategy.

Without any one of these elements, it would have been a complex and layered deadlock.

At that moment, He Ao became the master of the Velora, and the sensation of being locked onto by an enormous web was transmitted to his mind.

Hiss —

The phantom in the sky seemed to sense that its prop had been taken, emitting a tremendous howl.

The translucent Phantom Shadow quickly solidified as it seemed determined to descend by force.

All eyes were drawn to the phantom in the sky, and the three B-levels engaged in battle also looked up.

In that instant, everyone’s original rhythm was disrupted once more.

At this moment, among the five C-levels around the Velora, three had been controlled by the angel phantom in the sky and now suddenly stood up, fiercely charging towards the direction of He Ao at the vehicle’s head.

Meanwhile, Yang De’s shadow also flickered in the near distance.

He Ao first destroyed all the arrays of the Descending Ceremony, cutting off the spatial coordinates for the angel’s advent, and then he opened the car door.

Then his real body outside raised the Miracle Wand in his hand.

Mountain Collapse Tsunami!

The fierce gale ripped through the narrow mountain pass in an instant, making a long and intense wail.

It was as though the mountains themselves were mourning in sorrow.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, and the tempest whipped up the sandy soil from the ground.

"What’s this, a sandstorm?"

Ji Po watched the spectacle of changing skies and voiced his concern.

Sand and wind momentarily blocked everyone’s sight, and dark clouds covered the daylight.

He Ao used two dark tentacles from inside the vehicle to push Lin Chichi and Luo Luo out of the car door.

In that moment, Lin Chichi opened her eyes, "Brother Hao Yi!"

"Don’t look up, we’ll meet again if it’s destined."

He Ao’s clone wore a faint smile.

His real body outside caught the two and exchanged a glance with the clone inside the vehicle.

The sandstorm seemed to freeze before them.

The next second, the car door closed, cutting off their sight of each other.

"You are..."

Luo Luo felt she had entered someone’s embrace.

"Deputy Director of the Overseas Department, close your eyes and ask nothing."

He Ao’s words stopped Lin Chichi from saying anything, as he tucked both under his arms and charged out of the sandstorm.

At this moment, Liu Zhengyun and the other two had their vision obscured by the sandstorm as well.

But at the very first moment the sandstorm appeared, Liu Zhengyun retreated and seized the opportunity to break free.

"Liu Zhengyun, you can’t escape!"

For a B-level, this degree of sandstorm was almost negligible, and Sloane immediately gave chase.

However, in an instant, the ground beneath his feet violently shook, releasing an immense force, as if a brute with monstrous strength punched him fiercely through the earth.

The subterranean assault caught him off guard, and the tremendous force that entered his body caused him, already heavily injured from the intense battle, to cough up a mouthful of blood.

Right after, howling winds abruptly rose beside him, forming two enormous vortices reaching from Heaven to earth, pulling him in opposite directions.

His movements were restricted in an instant, and after these two heavy hits, the blood-stained Bone-cleaving Knife in his hand was almost dropped.

Rudel immediately came to his aid, but his body was also affected by the wind, delayed by a fraction of a second.

However, in that fraction of a second, a hand reached out of the ferocious wind and grabbed the blade of the crimson Bone-cleaving Knife.

Blood, glowing with a yellow brilliance, dripped from the fingers into the wind.

The hand firmly grasped the blade, then pulled it outwards, wrenching the sharp Bone-cleaving Knife from Sloane’s grasp.

Liu Zhengyun stood within the roaring tornado, his scholarly face showing a hint of a mild smile.

The Bone-cleaving Knife spun a flower in his hand.

A hand covered in blood gripped the hilt.

"No!"

Sloane looked on in horror at the man before him, wanting to retaliate, but his body was restrained by the wind.

Liu Zhengyun did not hesitate to thrust the Bone-cleaving Knife into his heart, "Old friend, do you believe in Hell? I’ve been researching it lately, perhaps you could help me check it out."

The sharp blade shimmered with a strangely captivating brilliance, frenziedly absorbing the blood within Sloane’s body.

Then Liu Zhengyun turned his gaze to Rudel, who was hurrying over.

Rudel glanced at Sloane, whose body was gradually desiccating, and without turning his head back, he ran into the sandstorm.

The once-howling tornadoes dispersed in opposite directions.

Liu Zhengyun, covered in blood, looked forward; through the hazy sandstorm, the front window of the Vinora had become transparent.

Through the clear window, he saw the man standing at the control panel.

He Ao nodded to him with a smile, and then at that moment, the space around the Velora split open.

The once-massive white spiderweb had lost control: Sloane dead, Rudel fled, and Liu Zhengyun severely injured.

In the sky, the Angels, bereft of spatial coordinates, let out intense screams, but being low on energy, they could no longer forcibly sustain their Advent.

Their terrifyingly huge figures rapidly dimmed.

The three C-level Monsters they controlled on the ground were also torn apart by the earth and violent winds.

The slender Vinora entered the transparent, dark ’tunnel.’

At this moment, He Ao felt something rapidly merging with his body in his mind.

It was the power of Super Memory.

His ritual was about to be completed, and the abilities of a C-level Super Memory were slowly becoming available to him.

Just then, a semi-transparent Phantom Shadow burst from the sandstorm and instantly attached itself to the Velora.

The entire Velora began to shake violently.

The Control Array that He Ao had modified, emitted beams of peculiar light, and an embedded hidden pattern within the Array surfaced.

This was a contingency left behind, whose master had been lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity.

And now, the moment had come.

The Vinora would soon be his!

Everyone would become his stepping stone, including the youngster who had suddenly emerged.

The train trembled violently as the Velora was about to enter the tunnel.

However, just as the person was about to succeed, he suddenly had a thought and stopped all actions, relinquishing the success that was within his grasp.

The transparent shadow quickly gathered and formed a frail figure shrouded in a black robe.

He had failed.

And he had actively chosen to fail.
