Chapter 1498: NO.114: It can be said to be a complete preservation of the scene
NO.114: It can be said to be a complete preservation of the scene.
Although living in the world is a process of unknown habit, one must constantly encounter people and events that overturn past cognitions.
But Moon-chasing Symbol still felt that his recent experience was too bizarre.
Although Dark Lugiel was not his true trump card in hand, it did not prevent him from always holding it and taking pride in it, after all that 86% high compatibility had never met an opponent and had never been shaken.
But now, those words are already in the past.
A few minutes ago, he was still facing his little niece whose compatibility absolutely surpassed his own, his mood complex.
He felt both the displeasure of being surpassed by the challenger and a few points of pleasant surprise at unexpectedly discovering talent.
The words calling for a halt were not an excuse; at that moment he had actually considered the persuasive speech, and would speak it out given the chance.
But obviously, he had no such opportunity.
Not only did he lack that opportunity, but a few words from the other side stabbed him, making his mindset hard to steady.
The 86% high compatibility itself is proof that he too has not been able to move past his past.
Sirius symbolized those few words that placed it alongside family and speed symbolism; by a twist of fate, they dealt a few blows to the mindset of this otherworld uncle, leaving him ultimately with neither opportunity nor inclination to persuade.
Being completely overwhelmed in both strength and technique by a guy who ought to be an amateur, with only his consciousness able to hold its own—this fact was still too stimulating for a self-important, experienced old-timer.
So stimulating that even if he promptly played his true trump card, slapped the opponent, and fled, his mood would still not improve.
He instinctively struck back hard, venting all his pent-up frustration, then grabbed back the little girl who had never been very talkative since childhood, but he was all too aware.
He is here.
Since He is present, one must not act rashly, for the object of the sect's faith is so cruel and terrifying; having succeeded in intervening once before was already an opportunity everyone had prepared for long and finally awaited, and the perfect implementation and execution could be called a miracle that moved the whole team, hard to hope for a repeat, and they could not afford any repercussions from startling the snake.
Based on this, even when Sirius launched relentless attacks in another dimension, he should have withdrawn already.
Since the probing strategy toward that little girl had no room for implementation, he should hurry back to headquarters to continue monitoring His movements—this too rests on rational premises, but reality is……
Bang!
Sharp fragments scattered outward, causing the other cultists present to either withdraw or slide-step, or make tiny evasive motions to avoid them, then continue in silent helplessness as they watch the high priest smash the sixth fragile item.
In their hometown environment where the entire Federation has blockaded and banned monster-related industries, people often have no leeway for picky choices, each using monster cards rather than capsules, USB drives, crystals, or spark dolls as power carriers.
Thus the cult has many members of extreme style and overactive emotions, and naturally relies on an exceptionally strict rank system tied to high-intensity strength to guarantee stable internal operation.
As the Moon-chasing Symbol grew angrier the more he thought about it, when his quality deteriorated, no one dared to stop him.
All they could do was listen to him muttering classics like 'How could this be?', 'How could it be her?', 'What does she rely on?', then each in small groups discuss what the high priest has encountered, before being informed by those responsible for support work.
【It seems he was surpassed by his little niece in this universe.】
【No, no! It's because the high priest completely failed here, while the little niece achieved his goal; the high priest must have had his defenses broken!】
【According to that reasoning, it's more likely because the Lord favors the little niece here rather than him…… Only matters concerning the Lord can make the high priest lose his usual composure.】
【Indeed, he has always considered himself the most devout believer… Speaking of which, I've always been too clear about this; should we really believe in Him?】
【Not necessarily; the high priest still cares quite a bit about the past—isn't Dark Lugiel proof? Although it's unclear what era he actually misses.】
【What? Isn't it because Lugiel is functionally strong? I envy those many abilities! Also why are there disbelievers of the Beast King here? Who brought me here? Is this the cult?】
【There are probably many non-believers too? But I think there's no reason not to believe, after all He was forced by the Federation's scoundrels to the origin of the monster-devouring concept; the more one believes in monsters, the more one believes in Him, and those subtle abilities that accompany one are also related to faith.】
【But that's limited to the original universe, right? We're now in another universe—speaking of which, has this universe's monster-origin concept not yet been altered?】
【This world's Federation is so lax about monster cultural development, of course it couldn't push that concept into formation—wait, what are you trying to do? Put away your bold ideas! He is still here.】
【What about after He leaves? I think this world has great potential—just the easy capsule trade alone puts my mind at ease.】
【@Court, please note the defection rhetoric.】
【?】
【Wait, seems like there's a situation?】
【What's wrong? I'm still out shopping and haven't returned; has the high priest's condition worsened?】
【…He seems to be coming over.】
【?】
【?!】
【!!!】
【Withdraw withdraw withdraw!】
【Quickly notify!】
He has come?!
For the person who smashes things without forgetting to glance twice at the communications channel, information transmission does not need to be spoken; Moon-chasing Symbol immediately turned back and activated his surveillance network.
The authority granted by the Light-chasers Club is exactly the capital that previously allowed him to observe behind the scenes, and now it functions normally to bring him the first report of two black-and-white armored figures rapidly approaching.
This also caused his expression to stiffen.
The reason is as previously mentioned: any organization that cannot afford the consequences of startling the snake naturally lacks preparation to face Him directly.
What to do goes without saying.
Thus, two minutes later, Yuan Weichao, who kicked open the door with one foot, reported, then immediately scanned the surroundings again, for His field of vision had lost the detection of the unit marked as the new universe.
And beside Him, Bi Ze nervously gripped his staff, looking behind, seemingly very worried that the energy shield might shatter.
"Result confirmed, no target found." Yuan Weichao reported, then immediately scanned the surroundings again, for His field of vision had lost detection of the unit marked as the new universe.
"... Is that so?"
Clearly, he watched the new universe disappear before his eyes, yet also saw no King of Beasts that those two had mentioned; he merely gazed at the empty surroundings, then flicked his wrist, bringing about a sudden, brief ground tremor.
Lasting barely a few seconds, it made Bi Ze, who was looking at the shield that ought to have been the corridor and pursuers, blink involuntarily.
Now there is nothing here, just a stretch of woodland.
But when he turned his head, he would again see that spacious reception hall he had not yet had a chance to enter, with all those messy glass and ceramic shards still lying on the floor.
And at the same time, at the edge of the exhibition venue...
The black-clad, black-helmeted people gazed from afar at the huge void in the building at the edge of the exhibition; some were speechless.
It was like a cake with a piece cut out, or as if some huge beast had taken a bite out of it—a gruesome void.
To let Him preserve the intact advice at the scene as much as possible—is that how it's understood?
