Chapter 1316: Chaos and Disaster

Night, Capital, Canal

"Click."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the mechanism returning to its place, on the bench outside the inner canal wharf, the young man who was taking a nap opened his eyes and stared at the huge compass he was holding in his arms.

Unlike other compasses used for surveying directions, this strange dark blue compass has six movable rings, plus the magnetic needle suspended by a thread under the central circular glass cover, divided into seven layers from inside to outside.

And with the click of the mechanism just now, all the rings on this dark blue compass were locked, and the magnetic needle in the center, which had been motionless, began to deflect with the locking of the outer six rings, and finally pointed far away to the direction of the palace.

All six "elements" have been achieved...

After observing the situation of the dark blue compass and looking far away at the palace in the night sky along the direction of the magnetic needle, a satisfied smile couldn't help but appear on the face of the young man in water-blue robes.

Timing, conditions, person;

Goal, ability, me.

Pushing the pointer in the center of the 【Prayer Wheel】 to point to the target requires locking a total of six rings, three inside and three outside.

He has worked hard for this for nearly a hundred years, and finally waited for the opportunity of the Cleaning Bureau to be empty, achieved the conditions necessary to complete the goal, and arranged the "key man" who could not be bypassed, completing the locking of the "external" three rings of the 【Prayer Wheel】.

And among the remaining "internal" three rings, whether it is the goal he is willing to pay everything for, or the ability required to complete this goal, or his own willingness to burn everything to reach the end, he has never lacked.

Up to this point, the six elements required to activate the 【Prayer Wheel】 have all been gathered so far, and this means that what he wants to do will definitely succeed in the end, and no one will be able to stop him anymore!

"Whoosh!"

Seeming to respond to his agitated mood at this moment, a wave of evil waves suddenly surged in the canal in front of the young man. Although there was no wind, it caused the ships in the river to sway left and right.

Because the inner canal section of the capital has always been stable and has almost never had any wind and waves, plus it is night time, the vigilance of the sailors was insufficient, and a large number of swaying ships immediately caused bursts of exclamation.

And just amidst these bursts of exclamation, strands of chaotic and messy strange aura gathered quietly as if out of thin air, and finally condensed in one place under the night sky, quietly falling on the bench beside the Aquarius director.

"Sure enough, this world is still the best!"

Staring at the sailors who were trying their best to stabilize the ships in the canal, the black-robed man wearing a thrush mask couldn't help but close his eyes in intoxication, took a deep breath of the chaotic and dry aura, and then thanked the Aquarius director beside him:

"This time it's really thanks to you, if it weren't for you being powerful enough, I don't know how long I would have to wait to descend into this world in the flesh again."

"You're welcome."

After glancing at the 【Condition】 ring that lit up on the wheel, the Aquarius director couldn't help but smile, then responded warmly:

"I have studied the Watch Iron Wang Gong for decades after all, although I have never been able to climb up to observe it at close range, I have more or less gained some insights, tearing open a few small openings temporarily is not difficult."

"Hey~ Look at you, being humble again, aren't you?"

Although the thrush mask man was full of murderous intent, he seemed to have a "familiar" personality unexpectedly. Facing the Aquarius director's self-humility, he clapped his hands and laughed:

"You have only studied the Watch Iron Wang Gong for a few decades, I have been blocked outside this thing for more than a thousand years. In these thousand years, let alone openings, I haven't even found a seam. Every time I want to come in, I have to peel off a layer of skin. We are far worse than you!"

"Overpraised, I just took advantage of my identity, able to see the relevant records inside the Cleaning Bureau, plus mastered the creation secret technique of the Watch Iron Wang Gong. Otherwise, I would also be at my wit's end." After completing a wave of insincere commercial mutual blowing with the thrush mask man, the Aquarius director let go of his hands holding the 【Prayer Wheel】, sent this strange wheel back into the void, and then greeted:

"Then next, please act according to the agreement."

"Easy to say!"

The thrush mask responded without hesitation, then got up and walked towards the palace. However, when he walked halfway, he seemed to have thought of something, suddenly turned back with a smile, and raised his hand to lift slightly towards the chaotic wharf.

"Squeak——creak——"

Following the movement of the thrush mask man, a rough and ear-piercing sound of steel breaking immediately came from the structure of the wharf.

I don't know what happened, the shipping wharf that looked very sturdy originally seemed to have passed through decades of wind and frost in an instant, decaying into a mess, and the buildings above were twisted, looking like they were about to collapse directly.

And in the direction where the wharf was about to collapse, a group of sailors who were trying their best to turn the winch opened their eyes in horror, looking desperately at the huge shadow that was about to hit them...

"It's better not to do this kind of thing, right?"

Accompanied by a gentle dissuasion, a bright golden small knife quietly swept past, the right hand of the thrush mask man, which was emitting strange black energy, suddenly "retreated" a distance, returning to the position before he raised his hand.

And at the same time, the crumbling steel frame on the wharf, although it broke nearly half of the protective rods due to its own weight, finally stopped before it completely collapsed and didn't really hit them.

"Aquarius?"

Looking at the rotating watch marks on the back of the hand that was cut by a knife, the pleasant smile on the face of the thrush mask man faded slightly, and he questioned with a slightly gloomy expression:

"What do you mean by this?"

"It doesn't mean anything, just don't want to cause extra trouble."

Seeming not to feel the hostility expressed by the thrush mask man at all, the Aquarius director, whose expression was as gentle as before, explained:

"This is the jurisdiction of the Virgo branch after all, suddenly making such a big movement, maybe it will attract..."

"What are you afraid of?"

The thrush mask man sneered upon hearing this, then raised his head slightly and said:

"My 【Disaster】 power will not leave traces, even if the people from the Cleaning Bureau check it afterwards, they will only think that this is a disaster caused by the wharf being in disrepair for a long time.

What's more, the Blood-Haired Girl has already left, the remaining people in the Virgo branch have not crossed the difference between humans and gods, and are not to be feared at all. If it weren't for the timing not being right, I alone could wipe them all out."

"Hmm hmm."

After nodding in response, the Aquarius director smiled and said:

"I don't deny this point, and you, who master both 【Chaos】 and 【Disaster】 powers, are considered strong among the True Gods, and indeed have the ability to kill the Virgo branch. But did you forget one person?"
