Chapter 1072: Move Forward

In the sea area where there was gray-white fog above, below, left, right, front, and back.

"Professor," "Periodic Table," and "Prototype" were either leaning against the ship's railing with blood vessels on their faces bulging and jumping, or covering their ears and squatting down, curled up, or constantly scratching their hair, as if they wanted to lift their skull caps to vent the pressure their brains were bearing.

Seeing their performance, Franca couldn't help but look at Mr. "The Hanged Man":

"Is there any way to alleviate this situation?"

This was a problem that "Audience's" "Pacify" could not solve. After all, it was not mental chaos or emotional explosion, but simply that the brain could not bear being indoctrinated with so much knowledge in a short period of time, and they couldn't even activate the self-protection mechanism to faint directly.

Therefore, Lady "Justice" did not participate in the operation on the *Cherished Revenge* and did not provide corresponding charms. Of course, to carry the power of a demigod, the materials for the charms had more special requirements compared to the past. They couldn't be made just because one wanted to, unless the power level was deliberately suppressed so that the finished charms were only at the Sequence 6 or Sequence 5 level.

Mr. "The Hanged Man" thought for a while and said:

"Knock them out, help them lose consciousness."

This holder of the Great Arcana card added another sentence, not too sure:

"This might be useful."

"Makes sense." Franca turned her gaze back to "Professor" and the others, eager to try.

Just then, the situation of "Professor" and the others eased. The blue blood vessels on their faces no longer bulged, and the hair they had scratched off gradually decreased.

*Phew... * Franca breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

After another ten seconds or so, "Professor," "Periodic Table," and "Prototype" recovered one after another, only some of their faces were still quite pale, and their bodies were still trembling slightly.

"No wonder when you described the dangers we might encounter, you compared it to the forced indoctrination of the 'Hidden Sage.' This is indeed about the same." "Professor" sighed with emotion and said quite puzzledly, "That knowledge really came alive, rushing toward us one after another, as if if we didn't study hard, we would be caught by them and torn into pieces."

This was significantly different from the indoctrination of the "Hidden Sage." Previously, "Professor" and the others had actually had similar experiences, but the amount was very small and did not cause skin-deep pain.

"Prototype" looked at Franca and "The Hanged Man" and asked thoughtfully:

"Who is the Celestial Master?"

Franca gave two dry laughs:

"I'll tell you later."

She turned to "Professor" and the others and smiled:

"Your mission is complete!"

"Really?" "Do we not need to do it again?" "Did the matter succeed?" "Professor" and the others asked separately.

They were clearly relaxed, and their tone had a bit more joy that could not be hidden.

Franca and Mr. "The Hanged Man" looked at each other and said:

"Our part was successful, but there is no result on the other side yet."

"The Hanged Man" nodded in agreement, raised his right hand, and said to the *Cherished Revenge*:

"Return!"

…………

Dark side of "Utopia."

"Hermit" Cattleya had already left the area full of broken stone pillars and left the battle with the "Dragon Scholar" Letitia.

At this time, she was in a pitch-black corridor. Light seeped in at the end of the corridor, leading not to a room, but to a wilderness.

While moving forward, Cattleya couldn't help but look back at where she came from.

She had actually wanted to stay and help the "Mystic Queen" deal with Letitia, but finally decided to leave.

This was firstly because she saw Her Majesty the Queen take out a black crown inlaid with many dark gems, and secondly because she was not yet an angel—the "Ugly Duckling" could only be used one more time—that short ten-plus seconds could not change the situation of the battle, and it might even affect the "Mystic Queen's" performance.

The third was that she had other things to do.

Cattleya turned her gaze back and continued to fly with the wind in the pitch-black corridor where only the front had a little light.

She felt that the filth remaining in "Utopia" was hidden in the darkness on both sides that could not be illuminated, the depravity of those wizards was hidden, the pain of Beyonders of the same sequence always being forcibly indoctrinated with knowledge by the "Hidden Sage" was hidden, and the last scream made by some people before losing control and going crazy was hidden.

Once, she had similar pain and had also hovered on the verge of losing control.

Relying on Mr. "Fool," she initially guaranteed her own safety, and leaving the battle between the "Mystic Queen" and Letitia was to ensure that nothing went wrong on the side of "Chariot" Lu Mian, ensuring that all Beyonders of the "Reader" pathway got rid of this hidden danger and this kind of danger, so they wouldn't have to worry about knowledge indoctrination day and night from now on.

Of course, knowledge would still chase people, just not so frequently and so terrifyingly.

"Hermit" Cattleya flew faster and faster, more and more firmly, because important things were waiting for her ahead.

Finally, she crossed the light at the end of the corridor and arrived at a boundless wilderness.

At this very moment, crimson moonlight shone down from high above, covering the wilderness with a faint blood color, but it did not cause any substantial impact.

Cattleya looked at it and saw Mr. "Chariot" Lu Mian standing beside the collapsed large hole in the depths of the wilderness, and saw Lady "Magician" Fors, who had changed into a purple-black robe.

"Is Toriopo dead?" "Hermit" Cattleya blurted out.

Lady "Magician" smiled slightly:

"A true god took action personally, and there was a restraining 'tool,' how could Toriopo not die?

"I have sealed the Beyonder characteristics. We will distribute them uniformly according to the wishes of Mr. 'Fool' and the others after the operation ends."

As Lady "Magician" spoke, the wilderness trembled gently, and soil, weeds, and stones were constantly peeling off into the void, but the amplitude was not large.

"Utopia" was created by Toriopo. After Toriopo died, it would naturally move toward decay slowly.

"Hermit" nodded gently and walked to the vicinity of Lu Mian under the illumination of the not-too-thick blood-colored moonlight.

She and "Magician" were one on the left and one on the right, one in front and one behind, guarding against the arrival of accidents.

…………

The blood-colored full moon hung high in the sky, making the sun lose its color, making all the continents, oceans, and islands seem to be covered with a crimson and evil veil.

In Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, the "City of Generosity," at an outdoor seat of a café.

Mr. "Star" Leonard held a cup of Fermo coffee with milk and sugar, sipping it gently while looking at the pedestrians hurrying home.

Most people in this world knew that the "Blood Moon" would bring misfortune and symbolized bad things!

"Old man, Sio and his brothers are really able to hold their breath. They haven't moved at all, and those angels who secretly work for the 'Great Mother' haven't moved either." Mr. "Star" put down the bone china coffee cup and muttered to himself in a low voice.

An old voice immediately rang in his ears:

"If they really went to save the 'Hidden Sage' and really came to destroy the Rorsted Archipelago, that wouldn't be a big problem.

"The fact that there is no movement at all means that things are troublesome."

Mr. "Star" immediately understood what the old man meant:

This meant that the existence of the "Hidden Sage" no longer had any important significance for the subsequent plans of the evil gods and the "Great Mother"!

This was troublesome.

"Didn't the 'Great Mother' also take action and suppress the gods?" "Star" thought for a while and said.

"Since the existence of the 'Hidden Sage' will weaken the resistance within the barrier and reduce the probability of the birth of new gods, it must be saved, but this is no longer the key. It belongs to the kind of thing that can be done or not." The old voice responded simply.

"Star" Leonard picked up the coffee again and laughed "hehe":

"It really feels like the situation is getting worse bit by bit, the end is coming, and there is a feeling that nothing can change it."

After taking a sip of coffee, this demigod of the Church of the Night and holder of the Great Arcana card restrained the smile on his face and said in a low voice:

"But no matter what, we must save ourselves.

"No matter what, eliminating the 'Hidden Sage' is a good thing, and it can increase the hope of resisting the end."

After speaking, he raised his head and cast his gaze toward the bright red and evil full moon.

The moonlight seemed to be dripping blood.

…………

In the mysterious unknown place.

Compared to just now, several mountain peaks had risen from the ground, and a vast ocean and countless rift valleys had appeared.

The place where the "Hidden Sage" was located was also composed of information. After the information was "fooled," it would naturally undergo different mutations, thus creating the current environment.

And after ten or twenty seconds of fighting, the "Hidden Sage," who had never been able to recover from the surprise attack, was finally pierced by the cane inlaid with numerous star dust.

The illusory light composed of complex information, like a giant python, collapsed instantly, toward the tip of the cane, toward a certain point inside.

The ethereal light collapsed inch by inch, and countless information squeezed together, compressed into a dark sphere, accompanied by the withdrawal of the star dust cane, and exploded, spraying outward.

The overall structure of the information was thus destroyed.

Streams of information fell and dissipated one after another, and a little crimson seeped out from among them.

These crimsons grew rapidly and were about to aggregate together, bringing new life.

As "The Fool's" star dust cane pointed, the surrounding void bent down, driving all the crimson together and sealing it in a small, illusory, dark sphere.

The illusory sphere then annihilated together with the gathered crimson.

However, after the disintegrated information and the crimson light disappeared completely, no Beyonder characteristic precipitated, and no uniqueness appeared.

"The Fool," wearing a black trench coat, suddenly cast his gaze to the other side of the unknown place, the end of that ocean.

An illusory light shaped like a giant python suddenly emerged there, and then turned into a black shadow with countless black-and-white eyeballs cracked out.

Backup and hiding of information!

The "Hidden Sage" had more than one such backup information hidden!

Those countless black-and-white eyeballs rotated rapidly, each condensing illusory and complex symbols, pouring useless knowledge that was terrifying to the extreme into "The Fool's" mind.
