Before they could regain their composure, Alan struck again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred man instinctively tried to retreat, only to find a wall of earth-element magic materializing behind him, blocking his escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred man's eyes widened in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gathered the rushing magical energy within him to shield his neck, forming a protective barrier like a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a flash, Alan's sword ignited in flames, instantly evaporating the water element shield, and, in a single stroke, severed the man's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed from the gaping wound on his neck, showering the small room in a grim, bloody rain. The remaining two brothers were struck with terror; without a second thought, they bolted like cats whose tails had been stepped on, fleeing in a blind panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan moved to pursue them, but their earlier setup, the Hidden Wolf Formation, suddenly exploded, unleashing waves of magical energy that shook the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan had no choice but to shield Isabella in his arms. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small room was left in ruins from the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brass lamps fell from the ceiling, and planks and metal sheets from the walls scattered across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the tremors subsided, Alan carefully lifted Isabella and stepped outside, intent on chasing down the fleeing brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But outside the door stood a squad of patrolling guards, led by a woman wearing a half-mask. Though young, the woman's lower face, framed by fair skin and graceful contours, hinted at an extraordinary beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her attire, Alan grew more cautious—she was from the Church of Steam and Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Church of Steam and Magic not only controlled Railway City but also held influence over several guilds and industries throughout the Plantagenet Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fighting is strictly forbidden in Railway City,\" she announced coldly. \"Seize them both and flog them to death as a warning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beauty belied her icy tone, devoid of any warmth. The guards moved to encircle Alan and Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sister and I were only defending ourselves—they attacked us first!\" Alan said, his brow furrowing as he looked at the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the woman showed no reaction to his words. Alan, sensing no other option, released a powerful wave of mind power that expanded outward from him, forcing the approaching guards to stumble back as if struck by a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were a magus, could you perhaps show leniency?\" Alan asked seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the mask paused, then shook her head slightly. \"Magus are indeed rare, but it is not enough compared to the rules of the Church.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alan let out a wave of tangible soul energy toward her. \"If a magus is insufficient, then what of the standing of a grand magus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Alan hadn't reached the level of a grand magus in elemental control, his mastery of the Infernal Visualization Technique, coupled with the Soul Grindstone, had elevated his soul to the grand magus level—a tangible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile of interest appeared at the corner of the masked woman's mouth. \"If it's a grand magus in person, then courtesy is certainly due.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I am curious, to which family do you belong, and who is your mentor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan squinted, shaking his head. \"Just an unknown mage. Does the Church only recognize background, not strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman hesitated before replying slowly, \"Not at all. It's simply that your soul foundation is remarkably solid, which is rare for someone without formal training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magi were scarce, and grand magi even more so. Most mages of such skill had prestigious backgrounds or mentors; without guidance, breaking through alone was nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's youth made his achievement particularly impressive, suggesting either an extraordinary teacher or an uncanny talent and perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that Alan did not want to pursue the topic, she refrained from probing further. Respecting a grand magus was essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring me the two who just fled and flog them to death as a warning,\" she ordered coldly, directing her gaze at the guards. They nodded and swiftly pursued the brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Alan, the masked woman said, \"This room has been destroyed. If you and your sister don't mind, you may move to one of the deluxe rooms above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deluxe room! Reserved only for the elite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" Alan replied, careful to maintain his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman nodded and led the way, introducing herself as they walked. \"You may call me Annie. I am the acting captain of the Charlie No.1.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan was a bit taken aback to learn that this woman held such authority on the train—no wonder she could so easily grant them access to a deluxe room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Alan, and this is my sister, Isabella,\" he introduced simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie murmured their names but showed no sign of recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached room 99, the last available deluxe room. Annie briefly explained its amenities before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the room, Alan and Isabella's first impression was one of awe—it was enormous! Almost like a luxurious villa, the room was spacious and bright, filled with fresh flowers and soothing incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Separate chambers with large, soft beds gave it the feel of an opulent hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder it's called a deluxe room,\" Alan remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, everything was at the service of the strong. The strong received all comforts, while the weak were left with little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization deepened Alan's determination to grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't intimidated them by posing as a grand magus, they wouldn't have let him off so easily, much less offered him an upgrade to the deluxe room!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With renewed resolve, Alan headed into one of the rooms and entered his personal hell realm to continue his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his mysterious guide conjured a genuine tier-gold golem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although its speed was restricted, its combat power was formidable, pushing Alan to his limits. Under such pressure, Alan's control over the elements became increasingly refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the stars scattered across the sky, Alan finished his day of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a simple dinner brought by the maids, he decided to take Isabella to the top deck for a stroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the cramped lower and middle levels of the magic train, the top-level deluxe room deck was a vast open space, where one could gaze up at the starry night and enjoy the cool breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deck was filled with elegantly dressed individuals, some exuding an aura of elegance, while others radiated a domineering presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst these elites, Alan and Isabella's simple attire stood out as modest, but they paid no mind, heading to the edge of the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gazed at the magnificent scenery below, stretching a thousand meters down, and the vast starry sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? I haven't seen you around before,\" came a voice from nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plump boy wearing a monocle, his clothes adorned with jewelry, approached them curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Isabella. Who are you?\" Isabella, being naturally curious, responded with equal interest.\u003C\u002Fp>",1259,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","fdc7b8357ce43790b23dc67cad4de17a73fff96c279b94f193557121fbe4190f","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-477","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-475",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
