Chapter 870

In the high sky of Trier, a huge, ancient, and mottled phantom emerged. It was like a wall clock carved from stone, divided into twelve grids in total, each grid either gray-white or blue-black, interspersed with each other, with clear boundaries and different symbols.

Dong!

The distant and ethereal bell sound seemed to come across a long history, making the entire Trier seem to fall into stagnation.

In this brief stagnation, insects intertwined with transparent and opaque parts and twelve circles crawled around, drilling into different places, looking for patterns that could be deceived to get rid of the influence of fate.

Lu Mian and the others also froze their movements in the bell sound that seemed to come from an ancient era.

And not long ago, Forsyth and Yu Jianna, who heard Lu Mian say the term "Ring-in-the-Middle," took out a Tarot card from the "Traveler's Bag" one after another.

The surface of that Tarot card depicted an angel blowing a horn to guide the souls of the dead.

Major Arcana card, "Judgment"!

Immediately after, the two "Witches" whispered in Hermes:

"Requesting judgment!"

They both felt Lady "Judgment's" response, but it was faint and could not establish a real connection.

The two "Witches" instantly understood that this botanical garden or the area around the wooden hut had suffered more serious restrictions, not just the influence of the "Ring-in-the-Middle's" ability.

While they were requesting Lady "Judgment's" descent, Lu Mian, Anthony, and Lu Jianuo saw the wooden hut they were in rot rapidly and collapse quickly, just like a tree trunk that had been buried in the mud for a long, long time.

Boom!

A scorching white fireball met it, blowing up the collapsed ceiling to prevent those rotten, decayed woods from touching everyone present.

With the decay and collapse of the wooden hut, Lu Mian saw two figures appear several dozen meters ahead.

One figure was thin, of medium height, wearing a crisp white shirt and black formal suit, with a gray bow tie, his facial features hard and profound.

Although he appeared old on the outside, it could be seen that he was quite handsome when he was young. His hair was already graying but combed neatly. There were brown age spots on his face, seeming as if they could ulcerate and ooze pus at any time.

The other figure also wore a formal suit, over fifty years old, with thick golden hair with a bit of gray, eyes as clear as lake water, and a beard trimmed exceptionally elegantly. Even though he was old, he could still be called a beautiful man.

Seeing this figure behind, although Lu Mian was mentally prepared, he still squeezed a hoarse voice from his throat:

"Vazan Sanson!"

This was the leader of the "Sinner" organization, the father of Aurora's original body, the fate believer who brought tragedy to Aurora!

"Sanson, leave those two witches to me too." Seeing Forsyth and Yu Jianna, the man with multiple age spots on his face brightened and immediately said to the "Ring-in-the-Middle" Vazan Sanson.

This was not just a craving for beauty, but also an attraction stemming from deeper factors.

Vazan Sanson gazed at Lu Mian and responded to his collaborator with a light laugh:

"No problem, Higgdon."

Lu Mian suppressed the desire to rush up and take revenge regardless of everything and quickly said to Louis:

"You go deal with that old man with golden hair!"

Last time, Lu Mian relied on the deterrence of the "Blood Emperor's" residual aura to make Vazan Sanson affected, causing the "Ring-in-the-Middle" effect located in the world of the painting to collapse on its own, thus getting rid of this Beyonder ability. This time, the "Blood Emperor's" residual aura had been sealed by the "Underworld Daoist," and furthermore, Vazan Sanson, having suffered a loss once, would definitely be on guard.

Therefore, Lu Mian hoped that Louis, who had an angel body and angel level, would go and impact Vazan Sanson to see if he could break the influence of the "Ring-in-the-Middle" ability by relying on brute force and level suppression.

If he didn't break free from the "Ring-in-the-Middle," no matter how much effort he, Forsyth, Yu Jianna, and others made, they would all be pushed back to the current state and would not produce any effect.

Louis was stunned for a moment, as if saying to Lu Mian, "Me? I'm going to fight that powerful old man? I'm still just a child!"

On one hand, this was indeed Louis not expecting that he also had to fight. On the other hand, he inexplicably felt that he shouldn't fight, and it would be best to cooperate with the two old men in front of him and let them take him away.

Vaguely, Lu Mian heard the bell sound, and his thoughts were briefly hazy.

Forsyth, Yu Jianna, Anthony, and others, as well as Vazan Sanson and Higgdon opposite, all had similar feelings.

Soon, Lu Mian settled his mind, quickly took out "Black Tears" from the "Traveler's Bag," and threw it to Forsyth.

From the tone of the enemy named Higgdon and his attitude toward Vazan Sanson, Lu Mian believed that he must also be a saint, a true demigod. Therefore, Forsyth only had a way to circle with the other party for long enough by using "Black Tears," striving to support until this side destroyed the "Ring-in-the-Middle" effect.

While throwing "Black Tears" to Forsyth, Lu Mian was still urging Louis:

"Go quickly!

"I'll prepare the most sumptuous feast for you later!"

Louis was moved, but his feet still stood firmly in place.

At this time, Vazan Sanson and Higgdon, who did not have angel level, seemed to still be under the influence of some strange power, appearing a bit dull and not launching an attack quickly.

Lu Mian's voice then became majestic, and he roared:

"Do you want to be sent back to the Knowledge Church?"

Louis was startled and turned his body with a swish, facing Vazan Sanson.

"Don't you like your current life?" Lu Mian added another sentence based on his own understanding of Louis.

Louis unconsciously pursed his lips, then stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, and ran toward Vazan Sanson, thump, thump, thump.

Lu Mian gave a wink to Forsyth and Yu Jianna, who had just gotten rid of the dullness.

His meaning was that Forsyth was responsible for dragging Higgdon and circling with him, while Yu Jianna assisted Forsyth but should not take the risk of fighting head-on.

Forsyth and Yu Jianna both nodded solemnly.

The former wrapped the "Black Tears" forehead ornament around her wrist, and her figure quickly disappeared.

Yu Jianna also hid her figure.

Lu Mian did not hesitate. After withdrawing his gaze, he immediately took out the "Demon's Whisper" bone ring and put it on the middle finger of his right hand.

His body instantly burned with blue-purple flames radiating a strong sulfur smell, and his malice began to be publicized.

What made him fortunate was that he had already vented the vast majority of the accumulated desires and emotions during this time, and his state was much better than when he used this "Cesar" relic in Morora.

Immediately after, he gripped the hilt of the "Sword of Courage" and pulled it out from the "Traveler's Bag."

Courage immediately filled Lu Mian's body. He stared at Vazan Sanson, who wanted to manipulate Louis's unimportant fate, turned into a scorching white and cyan flame long spear, and shot over with a swish.

Revenge! Revenge!

I will never retreat!

—Before using the "Sword of Courage," Lu Mian had already thought of the overall strategy:

Forsyth and Yu Jianna would drag Higgdon there, he and Louis would launch a strong attack on Vazan Sanson, trying to find a way to break the influence of the "Ring-in-the-Middle," Anthony would be responsible for coordinating both sides while acting as his own external brain.

As for Lu Jianuo, there was no need to participate in the battle; he should find an opportunity to provide treatment.

…………

Inside the dim "Black Emperor" mausoleum, deep black walls surrounded a central high platform of the same color.

On the high platform sat a giant chair that looked like it was forged from black iron, engraved with complex and twisted patterns. The top of the chair's back extended upward into the shape of a crown.

At this time, a huge black shadow sat on this heavy chair. The outline of the shadow's facial features was presented relatively clearly:

Blue eyes, a high and straight nose bridge, thin lips, two small mustaches that were trimmed very beautifully...

The shadow's body was also slowly becoming clear, seeming to wear black armor and draped in a gorgeous cloak.

Roselle Gustav.

The Intis Emperor who let an era be named after himself!

He was still constantly being reborn and passing away, but the speed of both had been twisted and slowed down, so that he could wake up and manifest a certain degree of figure.

Seeing such a Roselle, Bei Er Na Dai's eyes became hot, both painful and pleasantly surprised, and she shouted:

"Papa!"

Roselle's eyes were stained with blood-red color, and two openings that could directly see blood-red light also cracked on his face.

But these disappeared after a new round of passing away and rebirth.

And whether it was passing away or rebirth, it was slower.

Roselle looked at his eldest daughter and sighed:

"Didn't I tell you never to come back?"

Bei Er Na Dai answered with a firm expression:

"Papa, I want to save you!

"I don't dare to bet on whether the one who wakes up is Mr. Fool or the 'Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Tian Zun' they speak of. At least I have to let you be able to wake up and maintain yourself without corresponding help."

The "Mystery Queen" paused and added in a deep voice:

"Moreover, I can't foresee when the doomsday will come and what kind of result there will be. I don't want to wait anymore."

Roselle sighed with some gratification:

"Silly child...

"Who helped you bypass my restrictions and return here?"

"It was, that one." Bei Er Na Dai did not hide anything from her father.

"Adam? The current 'True Creator'?" Roselle was not surprised at all.

Bei Er Na Dai nodded lightly.

Roselle sneered, then looked at Bei Er Na Dai, his tone complex as he said to her:

"You actually chose to cooperate with a believer of the 'Indefinite Mist.' Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Bei Er Na Dai was silent for a second and said:

"It's utilization.

"Those who can balance the pollution on you are now all outside the barrier. Among those inside, only the 'Indefinite Mist' can relatively easily pass through the barrier and pass in a little.

"I also made some preparations to prevent the vortex from continuing to push forward:

"I deliberately did not reply to Cattleya's letter, letting her participate in the 'Tarot Club.' When she is above the gray fog, she can quickly be alert, and with the strength of the 'Tarot Club' itself and the forces connected, as long as they figure out where the problem is, they can make very effective responses...

"I also foresaw part of the traders Pailer was looking for, discovered the strange movements of the Indulgence Sect of the 'Rose School of Thought,' and arranged for my subordinates to reveal it to the Temperance Faction...

"......

"I have also prophesied the result of this matter, and the situation did not develop in a worsening direction.

"That one also hinted at this."

Roselle shook his head, his tone slightly solemn as he used an educational tone to say to Bei Er Na Dai:

"Perhaps the situation did not develop in a worsening direction because many people made sacrifices.

"For Adam, this might be necessary.

"But for you?"
