Chapter 867

As one gray-white crystal cluster after another was shrouded by the mist, disintegrated on its own, and merged into it, the white mist that Pailer had turned into quickly expanded into a huge, strange vortex.

Within the vortex, the face of this "Overseer" was looming, sometimes twisted, sometimes normal.

She looked at the sky, her voice becoming ethereal, and said in the "Language of Order":

"Bei Er Na Dai pays the location information of the primitive island where Roselle's mausoleum is located, the place where the vortex ritual is held, and some materials, requesting a gray transaction. The reward she wants is for the great 'Indefinite Mist' to grant Roselle a gift, allowing the pollution in His body to truly reach a balance."

As soon as Pailer's voice fell, a point of light lit up within the white vortex.

Inside the point of light was a deep and dark void. In the center of the void was a solid and heavy planet, the surface of the planet shrouded in layers of ever-changing white mist.

Suddenly, a wisp of the white mist that could shroud the planet separated and fell toward the edge of the point of light, where there seemed to be an invisible barrier.

That wisp of white mist then diffused, became ethereal, and then, with the help of the ritual's power, with the help of the dark box containing truth, and with the help of the cracks on the surface of the invisible barrier, cleverly penetrated through and fell onto the white mist that Pailer had turned into, falling onto that blurred face that was sometimes ferocious and sometimes smiling.

The two merged into one.

Immediately after, a large part of the white mist that Pailer had turned into separated and slowly rushed in the form of a river toward that "Black Emperor" mausoleum built by hollowing out the mountain belly, seeping in, endlessly.

The "Mystery Queen" Bei Er Na Dai turned her body, with her back to the mausoleum.

Her chestnut long hair suddenly parted, and a pair of cold and ruthless transparent eyes grew out from the back of her head, while other facial features slowly took shape around these eyes in a blur.

This was like another her wanting to grow out.

Bei Er Na Dai used this to peek at several scenes inside the black mausoleum, confirming that her sleeping father, Roselle, had been wrapped by the white mist that had surged in.

This bit of erosion reached Roselle's body, beginning to twist the kind of pollution that was constantly being reborn, slowing down its speed.

Likewise, it also twisted the power that caused the reborn pollution to die quickly.

Due to the gap in quantity between the white mist pollution and the original pollution, it would still take some time for the several parties to achieve a true balance to maintain the ritual.

At this time, in the blue sky with scattered white clouds, the sun, not yet noon, suddenly erupted with dazzling light, as if it had sensed an exceptionally dangerous gray transaction taking place on this primitive island.

And Pailer's face, strengthened by the wisp of white mist within the point of light, became increasingly blurred and abstract. The corresponding mist expanded to completely shroud the entire area without trees, just not approaching Bei Er Na Dai and that "Black Emperor" mausoleum.

One point of light after another then emerged within this mist.

Pailer's face, in a twisted state, looked at one of the points of light and said in an even more illusory and ethereal voice:

"The great 'Superstar Master' agrees to take action with full force, suppressing the barrier, making all true gods located in the Astral World unable to interfere with matters inside the barrier again..."

Pailer had just said this when a mass of extremely bright light, enough to swallow all darkness and blind an angel's eyes, suddenly appeared within the point of light she was staring at.

Accompanied by this change, the high part of the sky was instantly lit up, just like a flashbang being thrown into a sealed room.

Pailer, protected by the ritual, also had to close her eyes.

Neither she nor the "Mystery Queen" Bei Er Na Dai could see the high sky becoming ethereal. Deep within the void, there seemed to be a transparent barrier with many cracks.

Within that void, there was also a sun that looked like it had been drawn, a behemoth shrouded in thick darkness, a terrifying figure surrounded by a lightning storm, a pair of brass-colored eyes opening in the cracks that seemed to connect to a long body, ears of wheat, flowers, and springs filling a corner, and dim light vaguely presenting scenes of civilization...

A huge, heavy, and dense "fireball" slammed heavily into that invisible barrier with many cracks. The light that erupted was extremely brilliant, completely illuminating that void and making those abstract patterns that seemed to be composed of concepts nearly transparent.

This did not bring earthquakes everywhere to the world inside the barrier; it just made people unable to open their eyes for a short time.

Pailer's face in the white mist closed her eyes and continued to say in the "Language of Order":

"The reward He needs is to have the seal of that spaceship at the bottom of the sea in Santa Port broken."

As soon as Pailer's voice fell, a point of light grew slightly larger, and the scene reflected inside was the blue sea.

Finally, the bright light penetrating the barrier was no longer so dazzling. Pailer opened her eyes, looked at the blue sea inside the corresponding point of light, and said in an ethereal voice:

"Topsay of the 'Gourmet School of Thought' is willing to pay this reward..."

Accompanied by Pailer's words, a terrifying vortex suddenly appeared on that blue sea.

A monster emerged from the vortex. It was dozens to a hundred meters high, its lower body shaped like a giant snake, covered with shark-like skin hidden with evil patterns, and its upper body separated into nine necks, each neck growing a different head. There were those resembling snakes, those resembling the head of a giant shark, those with wet hair in the form of a black wolf, those suspected to be giant dragons from legends...

The most core head was the most strange, looking like a human face, but only a mouth remained, the teeth in the mouth sharp enough to seem capable of biting through everything.

This head pounced on the invisible power sealing that sea area and began to bite crazily. Other heads swallowed schools of fish in the sea, some spat venom at the seal, some tried to use their own abilities to influence the seal...

"What he needs to obtain is..." The "Overseer" Pailer's voice passed through the white mist into the "Mystery Queen" Bei Er Na Dai's ears, "to let the angel of the great 'Primordial Hunger' return!"

Bei Er Na Dai, outside the white mist, had already condensed an ancient-style long spear at some point. That long spear had once appeared in an ancient era that could not be traced, stained with the blood of a certain great existence. The whole body had dark red blood spots and patches, seeming capable of harming true gods.

"Mystery Reappearance," "Spear of Longinus"!

Bei Er Na Dai threw this ancient long spear radiating a destructive aura toward that mass of white mist, but the target was not the "Overseer" Pailer, but the point of light that had just grown larger.

She wanted to stop the subsequent gray transaction, not letting the vortex continue to rotate and bring real harm. Anyway, her purpose had already been achieved, and maintaining it for a period of time next would be enough!

The "Spear of Longinus" penetrated the white mist and hit the point of light reflecting the blue sea.

However, it failed to make that point of light dim and extinguish, as if it had fallen on a phantom.

Accompanied by the dissipation of this ancient long spear, the "Overseer" Pailer's face turned toward Bei Er Na Dai with an exaggerated smile:

"The vortex has already taken shape. Unless you can kill me, it will not stop.

"And if I die now, Roselle will not be able to obtain true balance, and the fragile balance that has been broken will not be able to be restored again."

Bei Er Na Dai paused for a moment.

Immediately after, Pailer looked at another point of light and said in an illusory and ethereal voice:

"The one willing to provide help to Topsay of the 'Gourmet School of Thought' is Mr. Higgdon of the 'All-Things-End Society'."

The point of light Pailer was staring at quickly grew slightly larger, reflecting a luxuriously furnished room.

Inside the room, an old man with graying hair that was combed neatly sat quietly on an antique armchair.

This old man wore a crisp white shirt, a black formal suit, and a gray bow tie. His facial features were of the handsome, hard-edged kind, but the skin on his exposed body, located in different places, intermittently ulcerated and oozed pus, sometimes crawling with maggots that only existed inside a decaying corpse.

His low, magnetic voice passed through the point of light into the white mist and reached Pailer's face:

"But I don't know where the target is in Trier."

Pailer smiled twistedly, raised her head slightly, and moved her gaze to one of the points of light located diagonally above.

That point of light then grew larger. Inside was also a room, a room with the doors and windows closed without lights.

Sunlight shone into the dim room from the glass window, making countless dust motes dancing in the air clearly visible.

Below those dust motes was an ancient wooden loom, and sitting beside the loom was a woman with black hair draped to her waist.

The woman had an ethereal temperament and a beautiful appearance, but she kept her eyes closed, constantly pulling off her own hair and weaving it into the silk threads densely covering the machine.

Blood mixed with pus flowed down from the corners of her eyes. Her left arm had already been broken from the middle and fallen to the ground. Her legs, covered by a white skirt, were empty. Standing behind her was a soft female statue. That statue originally had no face, but now it had gradually grown facial features similar to this woman.

The hair threads on the loom flickered with dim light, and the dim light contained a large amount of information.

Seeming to have heard the question relayed by the "Overseer" Pailer, the woman swept her right hand across several black hairs wrapped around the loom.

The black hair threads she touched all lit up, revealing corresponding information:

"The Indulgence Sect of the 'Rose School of Thought' brought the 'Shadow of the Beauty Goddess' to Trier to get as close as possible to the Trier of the Fourth Epoch. They did it very covertly and were not discovered by the demigods of Trier..."

"The Temperance Faction belonging to the 'Fool' Church discovered the whereabouts of the Indulgence Sect and the existence of important items in advance, but they were too cautious and did not take action immediately, instead waiting for an opportunity to complete the investigation, which led to them missing the timing..."

"Lu Mian Li took Louis and others and moved to a safe house in the botanical garden in District 14 of Trier. If he knew that this vortex would be so huge, he would definitely regret not taking his companions and directly 'teleporting' to New Silver City, but how could he have thought of that?"

These segments of fate were intertwined, forming a foreseeable future.

The "Overseer" Pailer's illusory and ethereal voice echoed in the room:

"The initiator of the 'Dream Seeker,' the servant of fate Higgdon, is responsible for weaving the whole matter, allowing parts of it to proceed relatively smoothly without arousing the vigilance of high-level beings. At the same time, she will also provide the locations of two angels..."

As Pailer spoke, the woman named Higgdon flicked her finger on the fate thread representing Lu Mian and Louis moving to the new safe house.

A point of light then jumped out, divided into three pieces, entered the white mist that Pailer had turned into, and flew to different places.
