Without the help of Auxiliary Materials, without the corresponding Promotion Ritual, and with the exhaustion of Spirituality, it was on the verge of losing control...
It's a miracle that this kind of promotion can be successful!
But Angel knew that this "miracle" would not last long. Her arms were still covered with black lines like oil paint, and the remaining Spirituality in her body was running around uncontrollably. Maybe in the next second, her fragile mind and body would collapse, and then she would die directly, or she would become Lunatic who only knew how to kill.
But before that, she had been able to control the diseases spread by "Lady Despair" around her.
Not only around her body, under the strange amplification effect of Sapphire Ring, she could almost sense the entire haze of East Borough, as well as the deadly bacteria and viruses mixed in it. They continued to spread around three basic points, and the center was herself, or where Lady Despair was just now.
That's why this lady said that wearing a ring and taking Beyonder Characteristic can stop this smog?
Not knowing how long this situation could last, Angel no longer thought about it in detail, but quickly became familiar with "Affliction" Demoness's Beyonder Ability.
She immediately discovered that it was impossible to eliminate the deadly smog that had spread to the entire East Borough and Docklands, and even beyond the Tussock River and towards South District. "Lady Despair"Panacea only used large-scale ceremonies and its own Beyonder Ability to mix disease-causing pathogens into the mist, rather than creating a large-scale haze out of thin air.
Therefore, even if the culprit of the fatal disease has disappeared without a trace, the out-of-control poisonous mist will not dissipate on its own. Instead, it will continue to infect everyone who comes into contact with it and inhales it into the body, until the mist slowly dilutes during diffusion and the germs gradually die in the sun.
Before that, I don't know how many more victims there will be...
Fortunately, it cannot be "delete", but it can be "replaced".
Relying on the Beyonder instinct of "Affliction", Angel immediately found an alternative method. She replaced the original germs in the poisonous mist with the new germs generated by Beyonder Ability, turning these pathogens that could have been easily fatal into ordinary germs that could only make people itchy skin and make people cough.
This behavior, which probably required Demigod to complete through a pre-prepared ritual, became easy with the help of Sapphire Ring.
This ring is probably Sequence, which is not low Mystical Item... If according to the church's classification method, it is at least level 1 Sealed Artifact, and may even be level 0... But it can make the wearer become as trance-like as Trissy, and even do things that he or she does not know. Wearing it may be very dangerous...
Thinking of this, after the surrounding haze turned from iron black to a less deadly light yellow, Angel quickly took off Sapphire Ring from his finger.
At the same time, the power that supported her to complete the action of "replacing" the germs in the haze also left her body as the ring left her body.
She was still kneeling on the street strewn with corpses, with black paint-like patterns all over her body. Her long hair turned black again and became entangled and thickened at the roots. Eyes grew out of the tips like poisonous snakes. She opened her mouth and danced as if it had a life of its own.
Even if she didn't swallow Beyonder Characteristic, she was already on the verge of losing control despite being seriously injured. What's more, in this case, she would directly swallow the characteristics to "promote"...
There was no Auxiliary Materials, no Promotion Ritual. If it weren't for the power of Sapphire Ring, if it weren't for this mysterious and powerful woman standing beside her, using a special method to maintain her consciousness, she might have turned into a crawling monster.
But even so, she also knew that there was only one ending waiting for her.
Looking at Hooded Woman with clear eyes again, Angel said softly:
"Finally, let me die like a human being."
Three months ago, underground at Blackthorn Security Company, Dunn had also begged "Goddess's Sword" Cesimir, and then personally killed the out-of-control Old Neil, allowing him to maintain the last trace of his dignity.
There seemed to be a hint of inexplicable emotion in Hooded Woman's eyes. She nodded slowly and stretched out her fair and weak right hand, pointing at Angel's chest.
The next moment, Angel closed his eyes.
"Boom——"
Klein closed his eyes in the violent flash.
The power of the curse contained in "Master Key" was far beyond his imagination. The sudden violent explosion not only "contaminated" countless wronged souls in the altar, easily tore apart the light curtain protecting the altar, interrupting the ceremony of rapidly absorbing the wronged souls, but also caused a huge impact, sweeping across the entire altar and the entire hall, causing the huge stone pillars that had become fragile in the long history to collapse and raise pieces of dust.
Two blurry figures were crumbling in the violent wind and waves. One of them condensed thick Flesh Cloak to resist the explosion and debris, but was directly knocked down by the falling stone pillar. The other person was blown to the corner by the hurricane as if he had no weight, and was smashed against the stone wall, turning into a broken Paper Figurine.
The real Klein appeared behind the broken stone pillar, curling up to avoid the strong wind generated by the explosion of the altar.
Without further confirmation, he could be sure that the divine descending ceremony hosted by Mr. A was completely finished.
In Spirit Vision, no more innocent souls are pouring into the broken dome above. Those victims who have nowhere to go are now floating over the ruins, almost forming a dark cloud that cuts off the sunlight.
Through the blasted stone door, he could see Backlund East Borough further away. The floating souls of the victims no longer increased in number, and the ominous thick iron-black fog gradually returned to a light yellow background. It was the "normal" haze that he was used to, with the pungent smell of chemicals, but not fatal.
Angel... She successfully prevented the action of "Lady Despair"?
Before Klein could think about it, at a collapsed stone pillar not far behind him, Mr. A dug through the rubble and drilled out from below. He lost his left arm in the explosion, and half of his handsome, female-like face was missing, exposing the lower jaw. The only remaining eye was full of hatred, looking this way.
His flesh and blood squirmed to fill the wounds. Although the lost arm could not be regenerated immediately, several wounds no longer bled.
This terrifying recovery ability...
As soon as Klein glanced at Mr. A, he immediately judged the situation, no longer hesitated, and ran out of the hall.
Aurora Order's divine descending ceremony has been destroyed and the most important goal has been achieved. If he stays, will Mr. A calmly invite him to dinner?
In the Red Rose Manor, far away in the suburbs on the other side of Backlund, Prince Edessak Augustus stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the tanning house, looking at the urban area in the distance with dull eyes.
The dust stirred up by the meteorite that just fell near the manor has not yet dispersed. Trissy's "goodbye" before leaving still echoes in his ears, but his life has come to an end.
"Your Highness, please hurry up."
The old housekeeper Finkel behind him urged impatiently.
Everything was moving too fast. The sudden meteorite, the missing Demoness, and the ominous black mist above the city all made the "Disciplinary Paladin" who was sent by the royal family to "protect" His Highness Prince a little worried.
He could only follow the order that had been issued long ago, use bullets that could destroy Spirituality to make His Highness Prince commit suicide, and then quickly leave Backlund and flee to overseas colonies to avoid being discovered by subsequent investigations.
"Prince, Your Highness, do it!"
Seeing that Edessak was holding the revolver and still making no move, he used Beyonder Ability and urged further.
The Prince, who was stunned by Demoness, turned back and looked at him indifferently. Finally, he raised his hand, opened the hammer, and put the long barrel of the gun against his chin with his backhand.
"Click——"
The expected gunshot did not come, the hammer hit the primer and made a crisp sound.
Misfiring?
Finkel was stunned. These are precious ammunition worth a hundred pounds each.
"Click, click, click."
One after another, Edessak quickly pulled the trigger until every bullet was hit by the hammer, but all of them were duds?
This Sequence 5's Beyonder had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead and subconsciously took two steps back, away from Edessak who put down his pistol and showed a weird smile.
Prince's stiff riding uniform and trousers squirmed and turned into a thick black windbreaker. The short black hairline moved back, and his gray eyes became deep.
"Do it?"
He spoke with a joking tone, winked his left eye, and the tanning room instantly turned dark.
West Borough, Baron Landon House.
Parked at the back door of the large courtyard was a four-wheel carriage with its badge removed. Two servants were busy loading boxes one by one into the carriage. The coachman urged anxiously, standing on the carriage from time to time and looking around, as if on guard against something.
"I didn't expect that returning to my own home would be like being a thief..."
Sevillea Landon, who had put on a light long skirt again, was looking out the window in the car, carefully counting the number of boxes put on the car, and muttering in a low voice.
"Fortunately, I was prepared a long time ago and replaced most of the oil paintings and antiques with easy-to-carry jewelry and gold. Hmph, I knew that guy wouldn't care about my identity as I have been running Backlund for many years..."
She moved her lips almost silently to complain about the last half of the sentence, as if she was afraid that "that guy" would hear it.
Seeing the two servants panting and loading the last heavy box onto the carriage, she looked around, sent the other servants away, took out a letter and said to the maid who did not get on the carriage:
"If the police, no, anyone comes to me, give him this letter."
Then, she urged the driver to drive out of her backyard and along a busy street toward the suburbs.
Standing next to the open car door, looking at the Landon Family who was gradually going away, Sevillea inevitably had a trace of loneliness on his face.
There are manors and villas worth more than 10,000 pounds, as well as several Backlund properties belonging to "Baroness Landon", a large area of land of East Chester County and part of the factory shares, and even the Smokeless Coal company that recently invested in following environmental protection policies.
Compared with the gold and jewelry on the carriage, those are the foundation for her to gain a foothold in the upper echelons of Backlund.
At this time, she could only escape Backlund with less than one-tenth of the value of her property, and she couldn't even take away the maid!
Sighing heavily, he closed the car door under the concerned look that the driver couldn't help but cast. Sevillea sat back in his seat, closed his eyes slightly, and thought about his next action.
Trissy is nowhere to be seen. Prince Edessak should be silenced by the royal family to cover up everything. East Borough is covered in haze. The real "silencing" must have begun. As for whether Mr. A can successfully summon "True Creator", only he cares.
Even if the official Beyonder takes action, the first target must be the ruins in the eastern suburbs and Deadly smog of East Borough. When they react, they will start arresting Aurora Order and Demoness Sect members in the urban area, at least the next day.
Based on this, it was very reasonable for me to venture back to the manor to collect the necessary belongings before escaping from the Loen Kingdom and going to Intis... And indeed no one stopped me from doing so. Even the patrol police on the street gathered on the east side of West Borough to maintain order.
"Everything went very well and it was time for me to exit."
Her tone was a little sad, a little relieved.
Then, the corners of Demoness of Pleasure's tight lips suddenly turned up slightly.
"Besides, this is also the choice of the times..."
She added silently in her mind.
