Chapter 302: Lodging the Exotic Bishop!

The higher the extraordinary talent, the more it makes the extraordinary being align with the world's origin.

Thus, it more easily perceives the "Rune Profundity".

And Ta Ke's SSS-exclusive extraordinary talent "Steam·World·Origin Static".

Allows Ta Ke to actively align with the origin of the extraordinary world.

It is essentially a privilege beyond the talent.

Breaking the 2100% ceiling of the extraordinary world with "Steam·World·Origin Static", combined with the Rune World Tower that Ta Ke has constructed.

Enables Ta Ke to perfectly and finely listen to the vibrations of all Rune Profundities.

At this moment, Ta Ke, seated in the magical cottage, is doing exactly that.

Moreover, Ta Ke has maintained this state for almost half a day.

"Woo…"

Outside the magical cottage, over the sea, a heavy, muffled steam iron wheel whistle sounds.

Ta Ke exhales lightly, slowly ending this half‑day of perception.

After a half‑day of exchange with Archbishop Lei Yage.

Ta Ke returned to his magical cottage.

Then Ta Ke began attempting to perceive the "Chaotic Runes".

This half‑day of perception yielded Ta Ke—nothing at all.

"According to Archbishop Lei Yage, the current Aogu Twin Stars Extraordinary World only barely brushes the ancient relic traces of the Chaotic Ancient Continent."

"Even the Barrier Region may not present Chaotic Rune Profundity; on the level of the world's origin, it's even less likely. After my half‑day verification, its basic content is essentially zero."

Thinking thus, Ta Ke smiled and shook his head.

"It will probably take about two years before the Barrier Region of the Aogu Twin Stars Extraordinary World can manifest faint Chaotic Runes."

"However, for me, after six months or a year, I can go to the Barrier Region and begin perceiving them."

"Four to five years later, the Barrier Region will truly exhibit Chaotic Runes."

"With sufficient time thereafter, the entire world will gradually and comprehensively display Chaotic Rune Profundity."

"The duration will be about five to six years of a strengthening phase."

"Then it will enter a prolonged slow decline phase, lasting perhaps a dozen or even twenty‑some years."

"In short, it's a fast bull, slow bear—comes quickly, leaves slowly!"

"Overall usable time isn't abundant, but it isn't scarce either."

"For me, gathering the Chaotic Rune Crown is more than sufficient."

"For others, that's hard to say."

Thinking thus, Ta Ke exhales lightly, looks out the window at the steam‑steel turbine roaring and rumbling across the ocean surface.

After a moment of inspection, Ta Ke gradually withdraws his gaze.

Aligning with the threads of the forbidden curse.

The Forbidden Curtain Stage materializes around Ta Ke.

At the same time.

Within a cloud of steam‑gray mist, a relatively clear image appears.

A man bearing a blood‑red extraordinary longsword, dressed in a short‑sleeved white shirt, sits cross‑legged inside the cabin of a steam sea‑demon ship.

"Want to… leave Padelin New Voyage Island?"

Ta Ke's mouth curves into a cold, indifferent smile.

"It's already… too late!"

These past few days, Ta Ke has been monitoring the movements of this exotic swordsman bishop master.

He hopes to capture some of his comrades through this guy.

It's unclear whether Padelin New Voyage Island lacks this guy's comrades, or he is unusually cautious and avoids contact.

Ta Ke has not seen him interact with any formidable masters.

"First capture this guy, interrogate him thoroughly, and everything will become clear naturally."

Thinking thus, Ta Ke swiftly throws several Forbidden Rule Fragments into it.

Meanwhile.

Avar, seated in the steam sea‑demon ship's cabin, feels a slight alertness.

The next moment.

The surrounding dimensions of time and space are swiftly stretched into abstract, hazy lines.

His perception is rapidly lost, and he can no longer exert control over his body.

The entire world becomes gloomy, heavy, and oppressive.

He seems to be falling into an abyss, powerless, only able to watch helplessly.

When Avar suddenly crashes to the ground.

A massive, vast Forbidden Curtain Stage blossoms deep within his pupils.

"This is… the Forbidden Curtain Stage."

"I have been cursed."

In an instant, Avar, with a dry throat and pallid complexion, feels his heart sink to the deepest depth.

He examines the sixth‑rank exotic bishop he easily pulled into the Forbidden Curtain Stage.

Ta Ke silently ponders.

"At present this is the final stage of the third round of the Forbidden Curtain Stage."

At most it can last a month; this third round of the Forbidden Curtain Stage will end then.

And the Forbidden Curtain Stage officially ends after the fourth round.

By using this Forbidden Curtain Stage, one can enjoy at most another half‑year.

With that thought, Ta Ke couldn't help but sigh slightly at the fact that the Forbidden Curtain Stage can only be sustained for half a year.

The Forbidden Curtain Stage, aided by divine power and Ta Ke's own fragments of forbidden rules, can achieve such a good effect.

Even if Ta Ke later obtains a ticket to the Forbidden Curtain Stage,

using it on himself would not have the same effect as now.

Without a deity widening the distance of the cursed dimension, the curses would come one after another.

There would never be a situation like now, using the curse as a cage to trap the foreign bishop.

With that thought, Ta Ke aligned with the flow and slipped directly into the Forbidden Curtain Stage.

The moment he entered,

the small forbidden spell he had already crafted within the ecological demon net was immediately launched outward by Ta Ke.

Boom……

The terrifying and horrifying explosion and roar, at the instant the forbidden curse dimension erupted, saw Ta Ke already withdraw.

The implosion of the sealed space greatly amplifies its power.

The foreign bishop can simply enjoy the forbidden spell's implosion within it.

Ta Ke just wants to be a bystander, eating melon and watching the show.

Moreover, the spectacle is the grand drama of Jin Jin Xing Mou Hui, which collaborates with the Dark Sun Church!

Boom—boom—boom……

The first round explosion of the forbidden spell.

The prepared foreign bishop immediately used speed to create distance, and simultaneously employed his sword‑shield‑like Transcendent Defense to absorb part of the damage.

Yet the powerful flame radiation still directly ignited this sixth‑tier foreign transcendent swordsman bishop.

This fellow's transcendent state seems to be of a dense, heavy kind, unable to be easily sliced or separated.

After Ta Ke's flame ignited his transcendent state, for a moment he found it hard to break free.

If this bishop‑swordsman cannot separate the ignited transcendent state, he would indeed be burned to death by Ta Ke's flame.

After fumbling for two or three minutes, the foreign swordsman bishop finally produced a bottle of an unknown concoction.

After drinking it,

Ta Ke's divine forbidden spell flame was swiftly extinguished.

Interesting!

Ta Ke gave a faint smile.

But it's only a desperate struggle within the cage.

Immediately, Ta Ke replicated the method and again sent a second forbidden spell starburst into it.

The desperate foreign sixth‑tier bishop, under this second forbidden spell,

though he avoided the main core's bombing annihilation zone and was not swept away in one blast,

the massive explosive power still tore his sword‑shield‑like defense apart, and his transcendent body was blown apart, blood gushing, flesh turning inside out, organs spilling, continuously falling.

At the same time, the foreign bishop's body, from the inside out, even his deep transcendent ecology, was ignited again.

The flames, like a demon, continuously devoured his life essence and annihilated his transcendent state.

The near‑mad foreign bishop, bearing Ta Ke's flame, wielding a blood‑colored legendary longsword, frantically attacked the cursed barrier of the Forbidden Curtain Stage.

This Forbidden Curtain curse cannot be broken even with forbidden spells, let alone this sixth‑tier bishop.

Until the foreign bishop's injuries became severe enough to worsen further,

Cackle……

A flock of crows materialized within the Forbidden Curtain Stage.

When the blood‑colored Forbidden Crow landed on the shoulder of the battered sixth‑tier foreign bishop,

the forbidden spell divine flame then subsided.

Subsequently, the flock's flame enveloped the shattered foreign sixth‑tier bishop, suspending his life while swiftly completing the hosting of the Sears Crow.

Looking at the foreign bishop he had captured,

and the embedded Forbidden Crow began devouring the threads of the "Forbidden Curse" shackling the bishop, as well as the various clauses of the "Forbidden Contracts".

Ta Ke knew that this time, he had probably caught a big fish.
