Chapter 1147: Wall Broken, Stars Hard to Conceal
The tourists who came out of the Sealed Hall were not yet allowed to leave the city. A single inspection was not enough to put anyone at ease.
Given their status, it was not advisable to use force, so to keep them under control, they were transferred to a nearby residence with high-security measures and provided with high-end services.
After the shock and excitement of the previous night, even with the support of drugs and implants, they were mentally exhausted. They guessed the intentions of Central City but did not argue about it.
Fortunately, the residence did not restrict their external communications, so upon arriving, they immediately contacted their personal Lawyers and confidants.
Kapa was also assigned a room. He was well aware that this place was essentially another prison. Central City would not let them leave until the incident at the Sealed Hall was resolved.
However, he was not yet at risk of being discovered.
This was because he had left the majority of his Altered Organisms in the cell. Now, his body contained only a very small portion of these organisms.
Thus, whether through inspection of the cell or observation via the Aetheric Field, the conclusion was that he had not left, as the majority of his Altered Organisms, representing nearly his entire being, were still there.
However, one of the characteristics of a Throne Arena Fighter is that even a small part of their body or Altered Organisms can activate and restore the original form.
So, his emergence meant he had already taken a step out of the prison.
However, he was not willing to abandon that part of his Altered Organisms. He was currently very weak and had noticed that some tampering had been done to his body.
Relying on the small portion of Altered Organisms to restore himself would take a considerable amount of time, during which he would be unable to do anything. If he were found during this process, there was a risk of being captured again. Therefore, it would be best to retrieve that part.
If he couldn't, he would have to decisively abandon it and find another way.
He looked in the direction of the Sealed Hall, a smile on his face. Now it was up to those high-profile individuals to see if they could do what he hoped.
Would they fail or succeed in their escape?
This uncertainty fascinated him.
Just as when he came out, the greatest danger was not from the tourists but from himself. The Altered Organisms in his body could provide energy to the Mutated Creatures.
If he had failed to calm the creature and was instead consumed, the escape attempt might have been declared a failure from the start. However, this situation gave him a sense of excitement, even enjoyment.
In the White Rock Long Hall, every city manager's face was filled with seriousness and tension.
The Aetheric Field screen in front of them showed many agitated light points, signs that the ritual's constraining power was gradually losing effect, and the individuals inside were about to break free. It was estimated that the first batch would break out in a few minutes.
Even with Alura's adjustments, the overall structure of the ritual could not be changed. She could only direct the Esoteric Rite Group to focus on certain key individuals, delaying the time it took for them to break out, allowing for a more manageable response.
According to estimates, the peak would occur within ten to twenty minutes. If not effectively contained, there was a risk of the outer ritual being breached.
They had already "hired" a team to retrieve the Blood Skull. Once obtained, the root cause would be severed, and the situation would stabilize.
However, due to permission issues, the team faced ritual barriers at every step, which would take time. It was estimated to take about three quarters of an hour to an hour, but this was the fastest possible speed.
At this moment, some of the light points on the screen suddenly flickered and abruptly appeared outside the Sealed Hall. This happened almost instantaneously, as the individuals trapped inside broke free.
This batch consisted of Mutated Creatures from near the World Ring, each with unique characteristics and linked to ancient religious legends. They were cunning, feigning an inability to break free before suddenly exerting force to escape.
However, the meticulous defenses outside were sufficient to thwart them.
As before, a mist emerged outside the Sealed Hall. The Mutated Creatures went in and were soon quiet.
After this batch was successfully blocked, the managers felt slightly relieved. This proved the reliability of Alura and the ritual. As long as these creatures did not all break out at once, they could handle the situation.
Of course, the focus was still on those three individuals. From the screen, it was clear that whether it was the old emperor, Chancellor Arthur Cavendish, or that entity, none of them were making any moves at the moment.
But they knew that after so much time had passed, it was enough for them to break free, even if the Ritual Team had targeted them. After all, their levels were high enough that the patchwork forces used on them wouldn't have much effect.
Their current inaction was likely because they were waiting for the right moment, and this was the true test.
Len remained very calm. Even if the ritual outside couldn't stop these three individuals, it wouldn't lead to an irrecoverable situation. Because waiting for them... he looked upward, a much stronger force awaited them.
After a few more minutes, the three closely watched individuals seemed to have reached a tacit agreement and suddenly moved at the same time, rushing out of the Sealed Hall at an extremely fast speed and breaking through in three different directions.
This situation forced the Sealed Hall to face pressure from three fronts simultaneously, and all the Aetheric Field resources within Central City were mobilized here without hesitation. However, this had limited effect. The strength and destructive power of the three individuals were far beyond those that had previously broken out.
At this moment, the mental force enveloping the entire Central City seemed to awaken. The clouds churned, forming a vortex that looked like a giant eye.
Meanwhile, the time finally reached 10:59, and as the clock approached 11:00, the three Ritual Stars in the sky finally converged at one point.
At this moment, in the eyes of all those with mental power, a burst of light suddenly erupted in the sky, and all the Ritual Effects in the area abruptly intensified. Some of the individuals in the Sealed Hall who were gradually breaking free through resonance were once again suppressed.
This seemed like a good thing, but an unexpected variable caught everyone off guard.
Outside Weizhou Central City, around the outskirts of Qiuyuan Lake, there were densely packed broken stone pillars. These were relics left by the previous civilization, and no one knew their purpose. Only the meditators would use them to cultivate their minds.
But the moment the three stars converged, something seemed to be triggered. These pillars, which had been inactive for at least thousands of years, suddenly began to exhibit subtle changes. Golden light flowed between the pillars, and the previously intangible ritual power suddenly became tangible.
During this period, many meditators were still practicing here. One of them, while placing a broken pillar, suddenly noticed that the Aetheric Field pulsations he could never feel before were now clearly visible.
Soon, more and more meditators noticed this, and they opened their eyes, emerging from their meditative state, looking up at the sky with expressions of surprise and suspicion. They then clasped their hands together, pointing them upward.
At this moment, in the sky above Weizhou Central City, directly below the Ritual Stars, a faint light could be seen flickering. This light continued to spread, as if trying to tear something apart.
The mental force enveloping the top of Central City had originally been aimed at the three individuals below. Upon discovering this situation, it no longer paid attention to what was happening below and instead moved toward the light, seemingly trying to suppress it.
On the plains outside Vijiazia, a flying ship was docked at the mooring tower. The veteran Gou Dou Jia Dayer Rossard from the Central City of Pacifica was currently meditating.
He was very focused on his upcoming match with Chen Chuan in two days and was currently adjusting himself.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something and looked out the porthole, his brows furrowing. He suddenly felt that something very bad was about to happen, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Inside the Residence of the Dashaun Delegation, Chen Chuan did not practice tonight but instead kept a close eye on the changes outside. If something really went wrong at the Sealed Hall, the chaos in the city would undoubtedly intensify. He hadn't forgotten the many dangerous prisoners inside, and he needed to ensure the safety of the entire delegation.
While receiving messages from various sources, he also felt a sense of unease.
He looked up and saw strong Ritual Aetheric Field fluctuations all around, on a massive scale, as if they were everywhere. He even saw a faint, ethereal presence on his second self.
It wasn't just that. Since entering Central City, he had felt a mental force enveloping the city, always within its range. But with the appearance of this ritual force, that mental force was suddenly drawn away.
He realized something, his third eye flickering slightly as he glanced at the sky. Three stars of different colors overlapped, emitting a brilliant light. Outside the city, vast bands of light seemed to be floating, resonating with the stars, and a massive, indistinct shadow could be faintly seen, as if trying to pull something through from the outer layers.
