Chapter 4474: The Seven Human Evils Manifest! The Transmigrators' Shock and Dread

"It doesn't seem like soul power... but it also doesn't seem like some kind of soul tool was used, similar to the last Otherworld Invasion?"

Thoughts flickered through Elder Mu's mind, but he soon saw Altria's gaze land on Huo Yuhao beside him.

And at this moment, Huo Yuhao's expression was extremely conflicted — seeming delighted, yet also somewhat hesitant and indecisive.

"So that's how it is!"

Elder Mu suddenly understood something. Without further hesitation, he raised his hand, his voice calm and steady. "Everyone, this one is our guest. Please do not be too discourteous."

Elder Mu's prestige within the Sea God Pavilion was far, far too high.

The instant he spoke, the entire scene fell silent at once.

Even those elders whose soul power had been building up, ready to erupt at any moment, hesitated for a moment before slowly drawing back the energy from their bodies.

"A wise choice!"

Merlin spoke with a smile, but as his gaze swept over everyone present, a flicker of doubt and deliberation passed through it.

Because he had suddenly realized that the strength of the people here was extremely formidable.

There were quite a few who could match top-tier Round Table Knights.

Especially... Merlin's gaze grew somewhat solemn as he stared at Elder Mu.

He felt that within this frail, aged elder, the energy burned like a sun, while deep within his body, divinity was faintly gathering.

"Is he about to become a god?"

Merlin murmured to himself, "This world truly makes me look forward to it more and more."

"Miss Altria."

Huo Yuhao rose, shame on his face. "I'm sorry. Earlier I kept thinking about how to leave the Sea God Pavilion.

But the moment I made up my mind, you all arrived."

"That's perfectly normal!"

Altria's attitude was completely composed.

Then, with a whoosh, the ahoge on top of her head stood straight up. She abruptly turned her head and saw the void beside her twisting continuously.

Before the many elders of the Sea God Pavilion could once again be on guard, Su Han and his group's figures emerged in turn.

"It's been some time since we last met."

Su Han swept his gaze across the entire scene, then spoke with a smile.

"...... So it is you!"

Elder Mu's eyes lit up at once. Then his gaze swept over Hourai Mountain Kaguya and Niang Shanshan, his movements pausing for a beat, a trace of puzzlement entering his voice. "Um... may I ask, where are the Ancestors, my lord?"

"They didn't come this time."

Su Han said casually, and at the same time opened the Guild livestream.

"Ah lala, so it appeared on the Martial Soul Continent side?"

Hourai Mountain Kaguya opened her folding fan, half-covering her face, her voice oddly wistful. "What a pity — I've already seen the Martial Soul Continent side several times..."

"Personally, I'd much rather see the world on King Arthur's side."

"Indeed!"

Niang Shanshan, for once, voiced her agreement.

The corner of her mouth curved into an arc, and she regarded Merlin with a rather playful look, causing Merlin's expression to stiffen.

"Heroic King... Miss!"

Merlin gulped. "To actually be able to meet you in this world — this truly is... a most unexpected thing."

"If you want to catch up, you can do so anytime! For now, let's settle the matter of the transmigrators first."

Su Han spoke up. His Observation Haki had sensed something very interesting.

"Have the enemies already arrived?"

Se's expression immediately grew serious. He asked in a low voice, "May I ask, where are the enemies now?"

"The Sun Moon Continent."

Su Han was brief and to the point.

The void before him suddenly collapsed, opening a spatial rift. He stepped into it.

Hourai Mountain Kaguya, Altria, and the others exchanged glances, then entered in turn.

"So this isn't the battlefield either!"

Merlin's expression turned strange.

He cast a glance at the impassive Elder Mu, shook his head, and likewise stepped into it.

...... On the other side of the spatial rift were sheer cliffs and precipices.

One could see the distant sky where wind and clouds were shifting, and a kind of black substance was endlessly spreading out from the void.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek rang out abruptly.

Those black substances at this moment began to evolve into different creatures, and a suppressive aura began to gather.

"...... Caenis Parug!"

Merlin's voice rang out with a hint of astonishment. He stared into the distance, his expression growing solemn. "No! The nature of the power is the same, but their outward manifestation — even their personalities — are entirely different."

"And... there are other Human Evils! No, it's more like... all seven Human Evils have appeared."

Merlin possessed no human emotions; every external emotional display he showed was simulated by himself.

Whatever emotion he felt he should display at any given moment, that was the emotion he displayed.

But now, Merlin's face was expressionless.

He did not reveal the slightest fluctuation of emotion, only stared fixedly into the distance.

As a Grand Knight candidate possessing Clairvoyance, a great magician who could rank among the greats in human history... Merlin knew all too well just how serious the situation was now.

Even so, he no longer bothered to use mental effort to disguise himself, focusing all his attention on the battlefield.

"Interesting!"

Niang Shanshan swept her gaze over the Human Evils a few times, then suddenly laughed, "Hourai Mountain, will you deal with the Human Evils, or should I deal with that Reincarnator!"

"Is there any difference in that wording?"

Hourai Mountain Kaguya glanced at Niang Shanshan with a slightly speechless look, but she didn't get angry, "Since you spoke first, let's split up and take down the enemies according to that arrangement."

In the next instant, time stopped.

Hourai Mountain Kaguya's figure vanished in an instant, and the seven Human Evils condensed into shape on the sea suddenly crumbled apart at that moment.

A shrill wail rang out, and vast swathes of shattered flesh rapidly converged.

Tiamat's figure reappeared.

But this time, Tiamat emerged far faster than before; the sea was swiftly transformed, and a colossal power capable of annihilating the world gathered, turning the sky utterly pitch-black.

"Boring."

Another cold voice sounded, and flesh and blood coalesced as Gaiya's figure emerged.

He hung high above the heavens, wearing ten rings on his hands; with a mere flick of his fingers, beam after beam of light flashed forth.

These beams were blindingly bright.

Simultaneously, each beam possessed the terrifying power to pierce through a planet and shatter all things—but now, the number of these beams was too countless to determine.

Gaiya lightly pointed a finger, and the terrifying, dazzling radiance beside him all surged toward Hōrai-san Kaguya.

Hōrai-san Kaguya hung high above the heavens; with a gentle sweep of her folding fan through the void, those... utterly terrifying energy beams naturally began to weaken, as if having crossed infinite distances and endured countless eons.
