Chapter 67 Disaster
Shell casings clattered to the ground. One of the substitutes had his finger on the trigger, but the muzzle of the gun was trembling.
Their bullets were completely useless; they didn't even hit the target.
"No, if this continues, the entire city will be in danger."
"Keep attacking, don't stop!" the Punisher captain roared, directing his men.
In an instant, a barrage of bullets and spells rained down on Megalos.
However, just like before, the bullets and talismans were dissolved and melted away as if they hadn't even made contact with the target.
"Ah... um..."
According to the Antigonus family notes, Lanluus seems to possess an extremely tenacious vitality, still able to groan in agony even when he is already a bloody mess: "Help...help...me..."
Clearly, no matter how crazy he was, he still couldn't escape the instinct to survive when faced with death.
It's somewhat ironic that someone who is one of the instigators of this disaster is asking the authorities for help.
Ignoring Lanius's pleas for help, the captain of the Punisher squad turned ashen-faced.
Their bullets and spells had absolutely no effect.
He looked at the team of magicians beside him and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
"If this continues, the entire city of Tingen will be finished, and none of you will escape!"
The magician looked troubled. If he only had the Antigonus family's notes, there might still be a way, but the current situation was beyond everyone's expectations.
He had already used up his trump card when he saved the clown.
As a Sequence 7 "Magician", his remaining offensive methods were utterly insignificant in the face of this catastrophe.
Air bullets and flame streams are not as effective as Demon Hunter bullets.
After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind.
"Bring out all the 'Explosion' talismans." The magician looked at his subordinate beside him.
The effect of the "Explosion" charm is roughly equivalent to the fireball from the "Hunter" pathway Sequence 7 "Pyromaniac," and it probably wouldn't be very effective against this type of monster under normal circumstances.
However, using multiple of them together might have a surprising effect.
"Attack!" With the magician's command, multiple "Explosion" talismans were thrown towards Megalos.
"Bang!"
A wave of heat swept out, and the surrounding air became scorching hot. The explosion kicked up dust, which filled the surrounding area.
"Ugh!"
A roar came from the smoke.
After the smoke cleared, they found that Megas, who had been lying on the ground, had actually stood up.
However, her current appearance looks quite bad.
Large clumps of her blonde hair fell out, revealing scalp covered with bluish-black veins. A viscous, grayish-green liquid seeped from her skin, emitting a foul stench like rotting seaweed. Her once beautiful face was distorted like a melted wax figure, her eyeballs bulging from their sockets.
!!!
"You...you want to hurt my child!"
"You will all die!"
Clearly, the circus crew's attack had successfully provoked the other side.
however……
Just as Megoss attacked the crowd like a demon.
The twisted and unrecognizable Lanius reached out and grabbed Megaius's leg, stopping her.
Megoss stumbled and fell to the ground.
Lanius, who had been lying on the ground, got up. A pitch-like black substance emerged from his eye sockets, and countless black tentacles covered in slime extended from his back, making his entire body look as if it had been eroded by worms.
He was controlled by the Antigonus family's notes!
To everyone's astonishment, the worm-covered Lanius and the bloodied and mangled Megaius began to fight.
It was an unbelievable scene; the two monsters were locked in combat.
No one expected that the Antigonus family's notes would actually stop Megalos.
No, that's not right. Rather than stopping it, it was more like it sensed the presence of something and instinctively attacked Megas beside it.
The two supernatural entities that caused this incident have actually started fighting amongst themselves.
None of the onlookers took any action.
This was an unexpected surprise for them.
The situation before them couldn't help but give rise to a fantasy—if only the two monsters could perish together.
Unfortunately, reality did not unfold as they had imagined.
Perhaps due to the difference in levels, the power of the Antigonus family's notebook gradually began to weaken, and the distortion effect gradually disappeared.
Lanius gradually lost ground in the battle, and crimson patterns appeared in his stomach as countless flesh and blood proliferated on his body, while the worms on his body began to shrivel.
There was actually a "seed" of the true creator inside him.
Under the pressure of the two forces, his body could no longer withstand it.
With a soft "plop," his abdomen burst open first. His foul-smelling intestines, coated in a yellowish-green mucus, slid to the ground, bringing with them half a rotting stomach. A jet of blood gushed from the opening, scattering chunks of flesh and bone fragments all around.
The spurting blood splashed onto Megoss, completely staining her red.
Lanius fell...
The Antigonus family's notebook also went silent, just like an ordinary notebook, and was blasted away by the power of the evil god's offspring.
Nobody knows where it flew off to.
After everything was over, what everyone saw was a monster with three heads.
Megoss had fleshy bulges on both shoulders, mixed with blood vessels and veins, round like a child's head.
They instinctively wanted to fire, but then they saw Megos's three heads open their mouths at the same time.
"You will all die!"
Accompanied by a vulgar remark.
"Bang!"
Both the person who took the punishment and the members of the circus team were thrown into the air by an invisible force and crashed heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust.
"Damn it." The magician struggled to get up, but he failed. He was too weak; he was too tired...
The air suddenly became as thick as asphalt, and he seemed to hear a cry.
Something is about to be born.
……
"Old man, something terrible seems to have happened over there, I need to go right away..."
Leonard, who was outside the circus, noticed something unusual about his surroundings. As a night watchman, he couldn't just ignore it.
"No," Pales stopped his reckless actions.
Why?
"Going there would be pointless; you'd only be throwing your life away."
"This is not an incident that you can handle at your level."
"Am I supposed to run away?" Leonard couldn't accept it; as a night watchman, he couldn't bring himself to run away.
After a moment of contemplation, Pales spoke in a tone of admonition, like an elder: "Retreat is not shameful; do not make meaningless sacrifices."
"Moreover... there are people nearby who can handle this incident."
"Who is it?" Leonard asked, puzzled.
Pales did not answer.
……
"Don't worry, there are no ordinary people around anymore. They all ran away just now..."
"but……"
"..." Leonard wanted to say something more, but suddenly fell silent and ran in the opposite direction of the accident without saying a word. For some reason, his previous unwavering determination suddenly disappeared.
"Run further away, or I won't be able to protect you," Pales urged him.
……
"Rachi, where are you!"
The surging crowds have vanished, and not a single person can be seen as far as the eye can see.
There was no one around, but Lorne still couldn't find his cat.
He wanted to keep walking forward, but found that he couldn't move his legs no matter what he did.
"Ugh!"
Lorne pressed his forehead and squatted down.
His mind was buzzing, and the pain felt like it was tearing his head apart.
There's something nearby, something extremely terrifying.
You'll die! You'll definitely die if you go any further!
He struggled to lift his head and saw a scene resembling the end of the world.
The world seems to be collapsing.
The air was scorching hot, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the sky was dyed crimson.
A terrifying aura pressed down on everything around them.
"Huff...huff..."
Lorne, panting heavily, snapped out of his shock.
Besides the pain, there was something else that puzzled him.
This pain is a spiritual warning, not a warning from fate!
Although they are very similar, they are fundamentally different. One is the ability of the "monster" itself, while the other is Lorne's unique cheat.
Why? Did my cheat code malfunction?
But according to Lorne's previous guess, there should have been a warning whenever he encountered a life-threatening danger.
Just like the previous times.
He didn't think the scene before him was any less terrifying than the female extraordinary being from the "assassin" path back in Backlund.
This time, however, there was absolutely no reaction.
For a time traveler, the most terrifying situation is when their cheat ability fails.
What to do now, escape?
It's no use... Lorne dismissed the idea. Although he had never witnessed the power displayed by the high sequence, the tremor deep in his soul made Lorne realize that running away was useless.
Once disaster strikes, nowhere in this city is safe.
Who could it be...? Lorne's brain was racing.
Could it be that hidden entity again?
The first thing that came to Lorne's mind was that voyeuristic, secretive being who had attacked him in his sleep, indirectly leading him to this disaster.
No, is the magnanimity of those who exist in seclusion really that small?
It's just a whistleblower letter, isn't it?
To eliminate himself, he was willing to cause such a huge disaster...
No, that doesn't make sense. There's no need for that hidden entity to do this; it will only provoke a bigger reaction from the authorities.
Did he discover my identity as a time traveler?
Or is there something else...?
"This is?"
Just as Lorne was thinking, he suddenly felt something bump into him.
He looked down and noticed that his shoulder bag was bulging irregularly.
"Damn it!" He unfastened the brass clasp with one hand, reached inside, and touched a slightly warm rectangular object.
That was the playing card he had once picked up—the 3 of diamonds.
He picked it up and noticed that the card was flashing, and the flashing frequency was increasing.
"this……"
Looking at the flashing cards, Lorne's expression was strange; this scenario seemed somewhat familiar.
Am I about to transform?
"Woohoo!"
A sharp, terrifying sound shattered Lorne's reverie. The instant he heard it, he felt as if he had been struck hard on the head with a blunt object, and suddenly felt a headache and dizziness.
Before he could recover from the dizziness, a white light suddenly appeared in front of him and enveloped him completely.
……
"Yes, we arrived just in time."
"Lord Plum Blossom 5." The magician slowly opened his eyes and saw the superior who was waiting to hand over his work to him. He staggered to his feet with all his might and bowed.
"I never expected this to happen."
"Tinggen is a really interesting place," said Club 5, glancing at the magician beside him.
"Leave this to me. You go and take your men and leave." With that, he handed the magician a bottle of potion.
"Yes." The magician took the potion without saying much. He knew that in the current situation, there was nothing he could do, and staying would only be a burden.
He could now place all his hopes on his superior; otherwise, the entire city of Tingen would be destroyed.
If this disaster were to actually occur, the authorities and the church would most likely blame the entire incident on the association.
Of course, if the Aurora Borealis Association doesn't issue a statement...
After the magician carried his subordinate away, the five of clubs squinted and sized up the woman in front of him, Meigoos.
She seemed wary of the five of clubs and did not stop the magician's earlier action.
Those who took the punishment in place are still in the same place, their fate unknown.
"An ordinary person's body couldn't possibly withstand this force. Was it preordained?"
"The people from the Aurora Club are really unreliable; they can even release something like this."
"Oh well, what can you do when they're all crazy?"
"Heh!" Club 5 suddenly chuckled.
"This should clearly be a matter for the Church of True God, but these societies always seem to create trouble for themselves!"
He looked at Megas, who had grown three heads, and stretched out his hand, his wrist rotating half a circle, as if trying to grab something.
Megas clearly sensed the danger, opening her mouth wide, stretching her jaw all the way to her ears. Her three heads hissed, trying to utter a single word.
"..." However, her "blasphemous words" caught in her throat and came to an abrupt halt.
"I'm having good luck today."
"I stole it in no time." Club 5 was a little surprised; his ability had activated unusually smoothly today.
"However, the abilities of the 'Three-Headed Sanctuary' are troublesome and not easy to deal with." He looked at the monster in front of him with a troubled expression.
His mission this time was to pick up the circus team and, incidentally, investigate Tingen to see if there was anything interesting going on. He never expected to actually encounter such a situation.
They encountered a child of an evil god who was about to be born.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
The baby's cries echoed all around.
"Wow!" The baby in Megao's belly sensed the danger and began to wriggle, wanting to be born.
"Tsk." The fifth of the clubs frowned slightly upon seeing this.
He subconsciously raised his hand as if to make a certain movement, but stopped halfway through.
"Forget it, let's stick to the method of forming a society!"
With a slight flick of his wrist, an exquisitely designed playing card appeared in his hand—the 5 of Clubs.
……
Outside the Blackthorn Security Company, a figure was observing the situation inside.
The church members must have all been drawn there, ugh, those fools!
Now there's only one sequence left, sequence 8.
What kind of trouble can a mere Sequence 8 cause?
Hmm... the advantage is in my hands!
With that in mind, Inszangwell began his operation.
He was determined to get his hands on Saint Selena's ashes today, no matter what.
