Chapter 317: Descent (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe!!)

"Protect His Majesty!"

"Quick!"

"Evacuate the crowd!"

The appearance of the mastermind behind the scenes instantly ignited a riot, and constant exclamations erupted throughout the stands.

Above the "Marshal's Podium," the corner of the old butler's mouth, who had successfully ambushed the military Crown by using Pope Feiliete to draw attention, slowly cracked into a smile.

The next moment, the entire podium was submerged in pitch-black, viscous liquid; his body sank into the oil-like substance, and a thorn tree grew continuously, with a blood-red giant figure gradually emerging upon its trunk.

Only this time, the giant's face was no longer blurred, revealing clear features—it was unmistakably the appearance of the old butler from before!

Duke Alge's voice trembled: "That's not right... The kingdom possesses many Elements... Why has it never succeeded in history?"

If this terrifying Ritual could be replicated, it would surely belong to the Sodom Royal Family!

"That is, of course, because... this Ritual Element consists of far more than just the right time, the right place, and the Iron Crown and the Sun King's Spear!"

Duke Alge roared.

It was so dilapidated, with traces of rust on its surface, yet it seemed more dazzling and eye-catching than the crown atop Arthur VI's head.

Arthur VI nodded in acknowledgment; this "Alchemist" from the Sodom Royal Family had actually fused his own body with the entire Gangtiebaolei in the Spirit World, becoming a brand-new form of metallic life.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King, the 'Desire Spirit Sect Leader' himself does not possess the 'Mystery' Element. He uses a Strange Object to drive the 'History Retrospection' Ritual; even if successful, it is difficult to leave a permanent brand on his body... It is more likely a one-time effect! Once the Ritual ends, the power will vanish immediately..."

On the "Marshal's Podium," the pierced "Spirit World Shadow" instantly disintegrated, leaving not a single trace of life behind.

It was the size of an adult's fist, with no whites to its eyes, only a rich, indelible scarlet, within which were countless constantly rotating black dots.

"Angel-level" Relic—Eye of Gumon!

It is the sacred object of the Bulusuxuepai, possessing the Extraordinary Ability of "History Retrospection"!

Successive bombs and countless barrages of steel vanished into the History Mist, and immediately there was no sound, only flakes of rust falling to the ground.

Duke Alge looked at this scene, his brows slightly furrowed: "As long as we kill them all, no matter what schemes the 'Desire Spirit Sect' has, they can only fail, right?"

"Quiet!"

And outside the square, the sound of neat, rhythmic footsteps rang out.

The robot's face seemed to carry a hint of bitterness and awe: "Its most important element—is 'His' tacit approval!"

"This is... the 'History Retrospection' Ritual?"

—Iron Crown!

If the "God of Suffering" could snatch a mere "Gumon" eyeball, it would be even easier for the Sodom Royal Family to find similar Magical Items or cultivate an "Expert of All Histories."

This is a Crown from the Royal Family, an "Alchemist" skilled in protection!

Fluorescent, flickering Talismans appeared on the surfaces of many mechanical puppets, forming a type of defense.

The massive blood-red giant retracted the "Sun King's Spear," and above its head, a small, iron-black crown suddenly emerged.

The believers of the "Desire Spirit Sect" shouted piously.

"No... they are all subjects of the kingdom, and there are many innocents in the square."

Boom!

The puppet legion raised their shoulders; their arms had been modified, some revealing six-barreled rotary muskets, others simply transformed into cannon barrels.

At the same time, among the noble guards and within the Holy Spirit Church Bishop group, many Extraordinaries suddenly attacked their companions.

Scarlet blood instantly splattered across the entire stand.

They were all members of the "Desire Spirit Sect," or evil cultists influenced by the "Blood Covenant Law"—to a certain extent, there was little difference between the two.

"One-time power? History Retrospection Ritual... Iron Crown, Sun King's Spear... Could it be that he... that traitor wants to retrospect..."

"Although I knew long ago there would be a large number of evil cultists, I didn't expect so many..."

Upon hearing this title with its special meaning, Duke Alge's spirit felt as if it had touched a bottomless darkness; it was a bizarre Abyss that no language or tool in the Mortal World could describe!

He trembled all over, suddenly looking up at the firmament.

The stands were in chaos; many celebrities and nobles lost all composure at this moment, staging one farce after another.

Light and Shadow overlapped, revealing countless retreating human figures.

Squads of professional soldiers arrived at a trot, setting up cover and machine guns, sealing off every major thoroughfare.

The stands and the square seemed to have become two different worlds.

—God of Suffering!

"My Lord!"

"'He'?"

In this battle in history, the "Sun King" Arthur obtained the assistance of the "Mother of Night," using the "Sun King's Spear" to Backstab "Dawn," preventing the "Son of Dawn" from being born into the Mortal World!

Thereby completely shattering "Dawn's" plan to interfere with the Mortal World!

He guessed that the "God of Suffering's" Ritual was related to this speech and the large crowd; his palm was raised high, and he was about to bring it down.

The same was true in the square; because there were too many evil cultists, the remaining people were at a loss.

"That is... the great power of the Epoch level, even if only for an instant..."

Arthur VI saw the blood-red giant and the thorns within the History Mist constantly twisting and changing...

They were gradually merging, tracing back toward the front of history.

Clatter!

Under these circumstances, even if he barely pushed the Ritual with the help of the "Eye of Gumon," he did not know what it would turn into in the end.

Arthur VI said with some reluctance.

From the windows of the surrounding buildings, gun barrels also extended.

On the other palm of the blood-red giant, a pale eyeball slowly emerged.

A large number of mechanical puppets walked out from within, protecting King Arthur VI, the Queen, and several high-ranking nobles.

"Uncle!"

Duke Alge spoke the answer that made everyone tremble with a sighing voice: "The Sun King's Oath-Breaking War!?"

Arthur VI and the others had arrived at a steel fortress at some unknown time, standing on the best balcony, overlooking the entire Speech Square.

Only when eroding the viewing platform were they blocked by the 'Shouhulu' emitted by a large number of mechanical puppets.

They were the Royal Family Guard stationed in Plymouth!

Once they hardened their hearts, killing the vast majority of people in the square would only be a matter of time.

In an instant, invisible doors were opened in the void, and a living metal fortress could be seen.

The Royal Family's Occultism education made Arthur...?"

A mechanical robot face emerged from the metal fortress.

At this moment, when it was brought out, it was as if an inexplicable Spirit World Language was being chanted in the void:

"Long history, I shall keep the Secret, until death, so it is today, and so it shall be every day..."

A layer of grayish-white History Mist appeared at some unknown time, shrouding the entire speech platform, and then spread to the entire square.

In the sky, huge airships soared, their ferocious muzzles overlooking the common people.

A pitch-black Night Curtain descended at some unknown time, shrouding the sky over all of Plymouth!

The Deity—'Mother of Night'!

Descend!
