Chapter 2015: Sudden Situation, Spear of World-Shocking Power

The confrontation before the venue did not last long; at the reminder of Prince Baside, the representatives of various countries entered the venue one after another, but this did not mean the confrontation had ceased—on the contrary, what followed would be even more intense!

However, Xia Duo did not pay much attention to what followed; for him, regardless of the outcome, as long as there was a recognized result that allowed the Northland to return to order, that would suffice.

In a block near Hengchun Square, Xia Duo found Buluode; this fellow had come along with the representatives of the various countries, only to act on his own after entering the Floating City.

When Xia Duo found him, this fellow was attempting to link to the Mythallar; seeing Xia Duo approach, Buluode decisively abandoned the attempt and asked Xia Duo directly:

"How come the Mythallar here is not quite the same as the one on the Elf side! It feels a bit familiar!"

"Just a few minor tricks, not worth mentioning!"

Saying this, Xia Duo opened up 8th-circle Spellcasting Permission Level for Buluode; general visitors usually only had up to 2nd-circle, though of course, those representatives of various countries just now, while also visitors, were somewhat special, so Xia Duo had opened them up to 5th-circle.

As for Buluode, he was even more special; after all, they were fellow disciples, so Xia Duo not only opened up a higher Spellcasting Permission Level for him but also provided him with a Mythallar interface.

And this was equivalent to indirectly stating his own attitude—I will not directly reveal the details of the Mythallar, but I do not object to you exploring it yourself.

However, Buluode's interest at this moment was clearly not on the Mythallar; after trying it out a few times, he pulled Xia Duo along, saying he wanted to see the effects of the War Spell.

"I heard you have already used those few spells on the battlefield; how were the effects?"

"Didn't Teacher tell you?"

"Teacher certainly did, but he described it so exaggeratedly, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't believe it!"

Buluode's childish behavior truly amused Xia Duo, though he had not intended to demonstrate it on the spot; yet, just as he was preparing to find an excuse to refuse, the 【Wide-Area Detection】 sent back feedback—

An abnormal teleportation signal had appeared near Adofeier Fortress!

By now, the representatives of various countries had already arrived at the Floating City negotiation venue, and when the representatives of various countries had come over earlier, they had taken the Portal at Adofeier Fortress, not some channel outside the fortress.

Now, this teleportation signal was somewhat suspicious.

Xia Duo really could not think of who else would want to teleport outside Adofeier Fortress under these circumstances; could it be the Demon Descendants trying to stir up trouble again!

He signaled for Buluode to wait a moment, then decisively activated the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】; no matter who was coming, he would control them first, and if it really were the Demon Descendants, it would, to a certain extent, prove that he was currently walking on the right path.

And the scene that followed exceeded Xia Duo's expectations somewhat—

The other party finished teleporting but took no action, or rather, had already begun to act; in the 【Wide-Area Detection】, an extremely intense fluctuation of the Magic Net suddenly erupted in the target area, and a beam of nearly pure black light burst forth from the target area before the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 had completed the spatial separation, shooting straight toward the Floating City.

An enemy—this was Xia Duo's first reaction, but he had not expected the enemy's attack to be so decisive; had it been even a little slower, once the spatial separation was complete, it would not have caused any impact on the Floating City.

But now, that beam of nearly pure black light was like a spear of world-shocking power, striking the Floating City—the first barrier formed through spatial topology transformation—before Xia Duo could react.

In that instant, Xia Duo felt the surrounding Magic Net begin to boil, and the light that had existed in the space seemed to be swallowed up by some mysterious power in a flash.

The next moment, Xia Duo saw the dome—the dome of the Public Zone of the Floating City, not the Adofeier Fortress that appeared to be overhead but was actually below.

The Floating City's spatial transformation had been dispelled!

The image presented to the outside world had turned back into a giant azure sphere; at this moment, this giant sphere was shrouded in darkness, and the surrounding ocean of boiling Magic Net String was no longer an aid to the Floating City, but had become a hindrance.

At this moment, Xia Duo's consciousness was exceptionally calm; he first switched the main systems of the Floating City to the Redundant System to alleviate the immense pressure the Adaptive Mythallar was enduring, while simultaneously driving the Floating City to move upward, away from this ocean of boiling Magic Net String.

On the other side, he did not forget the culprit behind this sudden incident; the War Spell itself could be counted as part of the Redundant System, and the Spell Source Point was located within the Floating City, so the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 was not affected at this moment.

Under Xia Duo's control, the spatial separation of the area where the enemy below was located was quickly completed; the next moment, the area was likewise shrouded in darkness.

But unlike the alien energy emitted by the opponent that could interfere with the Magic Net, 【Annihilation Light】 was the deepest level of disintegration and annihilation of matter; the greater the power, the more concentrated the effect, and the less light dissipated in the peripheral areas.

At this time, Xia Duo was shocked that someone would dare to attack the Floating City, and his angry retaliation was naturally merciless; he used 【Fixed-Point Full Power】 to erase that area, including the space itself.

When the darkness vanished, even though the area had a hollow region similar to a 【Crimson Plane】 Liexi, with misty seven-colored light radiating from within, occasionally accompanied by wisps of lightning flashing across.

But the Main Plane was different from the dying 【Crimson Plane】; that hollow region began to shrink at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

By the time Xia Duo still felt a bit unsatisfied, it had completely healed, leaving only a layer of dense Gemstone film in the peripheral area.

After all, concentrated power was only an ideal situation; in reality, there were still size gradients, and once the power was small to a certain degree, it could no longer completely annihilate energy.

As for failing to capture the suspected Demon Descendant enemy, Xia Duo felt it was a pity, but he did not regret the decision just now; in that situation, he indeed had a chance to capture the opponent, but the opponent was not unprepared, but rather had been plotting and preparing for a long time.

If he did not destroy them immediately, there was no guarantee they wouldn't stir up more trouble.

The current Floating City was not at full strength or full capacity; if it were accidentally damaged, it would inevitably stir up the ulterior motives of the representatives of the various countries present, and that would not be good.

……

This sudden attack came quickly and was dealt with quickly; it was not until Xia Duo had begun to re-transform the Floating City's space that Buluode asked, somewhat belatedly:

"What was the situation just now?"

"Nothing, just a few blind thieves; they have already been dealt with."

Xia Duo spoke lightly, but in his heart, he felt some lingering fear; if the Floating City had not undergone spatial transformation in advance, adding a layer of spatial barrier, with the intensity of that attack just now, it would likely not have been something he could ignore just by switching to a Redundant System and moving his position.

It would inevitably have tested the quality of the Protection System, and if it couldn't hold, the fun today would have been huge; the representatives of the various countries would likely have demanded a "joint development" of the Floating City at the first opportunity.

Of course, the reason would not be so blunt, but would instead use high-sounding excuses like "helping with maintenance."

"Are you really okay? Do you want to contact Teacher to come over?" Buluode asked worriedly.

Although he was a bit slow to react, the commotion just now was not small at all, and he was not a fool, so it was naturally impossible for him to be truly unaware.

"Rest assured, it's fine. However, it would be good to inform Teacher; there is no need for him to come over, as it is likely difficult for him to get away on his side."

"Alright then, you must tell me if there is a situation."

Xia Duo nodded, considering it dealt with, but there was not only Buluode on the Floating City, but also the representatives of various countries; so, how should he explain it to them?
