Chapter 1149: Swallowing the Forbidden Abandoned Body
Chapter 1149: Swallowing the Forbidden Abandoned Body
At the Dashaun Delegation's quarters, all the Security Personnel were mobilized. Besides protecting the quarters, they were also on guard to prevent any further attacks on the Dashaun gathering place should the city fall into chaos.
The City Guard, hired from Central City, also gathered here and dispatched patrols at the main street entrances of the gathering place.
They were indeed doing their job for pay, and even with the commotion in the Sealed Hall area, they paid no attention.
Chen Chuan, realizing that the situation in Central City, Vijiazia, was extremely serious, moved to the rooftop of the quarters.
Looking up, he saw the outlines within the light bands becoming fainter. The ancient Ritual's effect was hard to explain, but it was certainly preventing anything from the other side from entering this world.
With the Mental Power blocking it, there shouldn't be any issues.
He then looked towards the Sealed Hall. The height of the quarters building allowed him to see some things. There was a mist enveloping the entire area, with a hazy light floating above it, and specks of light in the sky, which were likely battle airships.
The deployment of so many airships indicated a very urgent situation.
At that moment, his Heavenly Eye flickered, and the mist became transparent. The Ceremonial Field appeared as large, shimmering spots of light, erupting from the ground and spreading to the sky, standing out prominently in the darkness. It was like an aurora from another world, making the neon lights seem dull in comparison.
He could now see three major impact points, with two of them showing active collisions, while the third was relatively quiet, almost as if it was waiting for the other two to resolve.
He focused on the northern direction. After mastering the two major techniques, his perception of certain things had become extremely sensitive. He easily sensed that the entity being blocked there was the one he had found at the Sealed Hall. His eyes fixed on that spot.
If any other entities escaped from the Sealed Hall, he wouldn't intervene, but as a member of the Purity Sect, he wouldn't allow them to wreak havoc outside.
If these entities broke free or escaped the Ritual's bindings, they would immediately tear open rifts, causing more destruction than the sacrificial Rituals of the New Light Church. Once the Energy from the other side flowed in, their strength would far exceed what was currently visible.
Now, he needed to see if the arrangements at the Sealed Hall could handle it. If not, he wouldn't let this situation continue unchecked.
At that moment, his Boundary Token emitted a notification sound, and Director Xie's voice came through: "Chen Chuzhang, the First Delegation has sent a message for you. I've drafted their telegram into a message for your review."
Chen Chuan waited a moment, and a message appeared on the Boundary Token's screen. It informed him that the Federal Executive Hall had requested security assistance, hoping he could help defend the Sealed Hall if possible.
The message also provided the identity details of the three prisoners about to break out of the Sealed Hall. The Federation wouldn't have provided this information, so it was likely the work of the intelligence department.
He was familiar with the identities of two of the prisoners, but when he saw the third, he raised an eyebrow.
No wonder the Federation Executive Government acted so quickly this time.
This was the former Governor of the Federation, officially recorded as having died from a relapse of an old illness while in office. He was a significant figure in Federation history, with a statue in the memorial hall.
Now, this Governor had escaped and, after consuming a Forbidden Relic, had become a monster and was imprisoned. This would severely damage public perception and the Federation government's image, so it had to be suppressed at all costs.
He was willing to help, as he had already planned to do so.
Moreover, the First Delegation's usual approach meant he wouldn't be doing this for nothing, which made him quite pleased.
He tapped the Boundary Token and reconnected with Director Xie: "Director Xie, I've decided to accept the First Delegation's commission and assist in the defense."
Director Xie's calm voice responded: "Chen Chuzhang, be careful."
Chen Chuan acknowledged, his cloak fluttering as a force Field lifted his body into the air. He then flashed through the sky and disappeared.
In front of the Sealed Hall, Rossard faced his former superior, speaking in a low voice: "Sir, when you were imprisoned, I was still on the front lines. When I returned, I heard that you had died of illness. I didn't believe it.
He looked at the figure opposite, as if searching for the familiar feeling of the past. "Sir, as a Gou Dou Jia, you've suffered many injuries in battle, but how could you be defeated by illness? Even if you had been corrupted, it would have been more believable.
After I continued my investigation, they couldn't hide it anymore and told me about this."
He sighed, his eyes becoming complex. "Sir, you shouldn't have taken that thing."
Looking at the figure with its many writhing arms, he spoke with great determination: "If it were you like this, I would have voted in favor back then."
Cavinton let out a low, chuckling laugh: "General Rossard, you are as straightforward and persistent as ever. Just like when I planned to attack the East Tower Fortress, only you dared to voice your opposition. Someone like you would never understand."
Rossard frowned: "Understand what?"
Cavinton said: "After I became the Governor, I reviewed the old archives and learned some things..." His voice grew even lower, "We are destined to lose, so I must take this step."
He raised a hand to stop Rossard's impending question, "You don't need to ask what it is, nor try to persuade me. Dayer, you've never been an ambitious person. Although you are a good commander, you are not suited to be a politician. Some things, once known, might only bring you more trouble. Just lead your troops well and don't overthink it.
As for me..."
He slowly straightened his body, "As the Governor, I have more to consider."
Rossard was silent for a moment before saying: "Sir, I've heard this rhetoric from you many times before, but I know you. You are a person with a strong drive and insatiable desires. Becoming the Governor was just to become more powerful. For that, you would do anything. So I can't be sure if what you say is true. I can only express my doubts."
At this, Cavinton suddenly became angry: "Don't judge me with your shallow understanding! Everything I do has its own logic. If I continue to be trapped, I will never be able to prove my ideas, and you will only criticize me as being wrong!
Now that I have broken free, it's my turn to prove it!
Also, let's end this conversation. I know you are trying to delay time, but do you think that little time will make any difference? What can you change?!"
As his emotions intensified, his voice turned into a roaring sound, with echoes reverberating around him. White light appeared on his body, forming bright, shimmering light bands.
Rossard's orange-yellow aura also spread outward, and he clenched his fists, saying: "Sir, I was never your match before, but now..."
In the next moment, he appeared in front of Cavinton and threw a punch. Cavinton tried to dodge to the side, but his body only moved slightly, as if rusted and stuck. The punch, wrapped in blinding light, struck his chest and abdomen, creating a large hole!
Cracks instantly spread across his otherwise intact body, and streams of energy clashed within, causing his body to swell as if inflated. His arm behind him was shattered and fragmented.
Rossard looked up, his eyes meeting the bloodshot, grayish-white eyes, and said: "Sir, you are too weak."
Inside the White Rock Long Hall, the managers, through Alura's Field, witnessed this scene and could not help but feel elated and excited.
Rossard, a veteran Gou Dou Jia who had been active on the battlefield since the early days of the Federation, possessed tremendous explosive power and offensive capability. He was once called the "Heavy Cannon", and even a Federation cannon was named after him!
Now, his strength had grown even stronger, and even a Throne Gou Dou Jia like Cavinton could not withstand his punch.
Of course, this was also because, under the combined seal of the Ritual and the Relic, the former Governor's spirit was completely locked, and his activation ability was almost nonexistent. Thus, the battle seemed to have already ended.
Len then glanced at the other two areas. Mr. Weiss from the Star Academy was suppressing the existence on that side, but the Field there was more chaotic, making it difficult to see the specifics.
As for the Former Emperor, there was no significant movement yet, and the situation seemed favorable. However, he had a nagging feeling that he was missing something.
"Truly impressive."
Cavinton, looking at his easily pierced chest and the shattered Spiritual Flame, showed a look of surprise and admiration toward Rossard.
"But Rossard, do you remember what I said? You need to completely and thoroughly eliminate your opponent, because even if they fall, they can still fire a fatal shot at you."
After delivering his punch, Rossard was about to attack again, but he couldn't. When he made contact with the other, he felt a Mental Power seeping into his body.
This caused his abnormal tissue to stiffen, temporarily preventing him from mobilizing the power within his body.
He knew this was likely the mental pressure of a Throne Gou Dou Jia. Any Gou Dou Jia who had not reached their level would likely be immobilized by their Mental Power.
When they appeared on the battlefield, any Gou Dou Jia below their level could not match them. They were truly the ones seated on the throne!
However, Cavinton was already severely weakened, and his Mental Power was suppressed and obscured by the Ritual, making it inactive. How could he still do this?!
