"Hope City" South District, Sassen Street.
The moment Angel and "Archon" Goredolf disappeared, Klein understood what had happened.
He had previously used "Luck Stealer" Charm to replace the fate of the "Worm of Time" and Amon clones that were trying to parasitize Angel. It was just a subconscious action due to the tacit understanding of the two fighting. After all, a target that is almost attached to Angel is easier to deal with than a target under the protection of "law".
As for what Angel wanted to do, he didn't fully understand it until now.
Using "Yesterday Once More" Charm, he returned to his identity as an "outsider" when he first came here two days ago, and then used "Mirror World" to take Amon's clone as the Archon out of the city, triggering the Prohibition law that restricts residents from leaving the country, but this is contrary to the law's order to protect the Archon...
In addition, from the behavior of Goredolf inviting Anne to serve as consul and replacing him, it can be seen that the title of "consul" cannot be abandoned at will. It must be replaced through legal handover procedures. However, if you leave the city, you will undoubtedly automatically give up your current identity. This creates two conflicting laws.
While thinking about it, Klein discovered that the golden ribbons that were originally restricting him and preparing to punish him for attacking the "Archon" had disappeared at some point.
The slender body of Anne was entangled in the sky above the street, and "Hand of Order", which was fighting against the power of order it controlled, had no movement.
The entire street, except for Nemo's house which was completely destroyed and the nearby ground that was hit by "Petrification", was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
But a little further away, there are already many residents of "Dream City" looking here from their homes, with curiosity in their eyes rather than fear.
The vast majority of them have abided by the law all their lives and lived in a city with strict laws. Not to mention such devastating scenes, they have never even seen a few fights.
Fortunately, both Angel and "Archon" Amon were extremely restrained, and even Anne tried hard to restrain their strength. Otherwise, let alone this street, the entire South District would have suffered a devastating blow... Klein muttered in his heart. When the power of isolation between him and other Marionette completely disappeared, he immediately took control of a Rabbit Gehrman in the house. He came to the study room, pulled out the City Law with a black cover and copper corners, opened it and looked at the inner pages.
As he expected, the laws originally written in gold-plated Ancient Feysac had disappeared without a trace, and the solemn and ancient pages were only surrounded by decorative patterns.
Marionette immediately turned forward and quickly scanned the blank pages until he reached the inner cover of City Law. On the first page, he saw the words "'Dream City' Interim Law". Even the version number in brackets at the back was erased by invisible hands.
Laws need to be publicized to take effect, which means that there is no longer any effective law in the entire "Dream City".
It seems that Angel has succeeded, but now she has to face a clone of Amon that is at least Sequence 3, and may even have gathered a large number of Beyonder Characteristic, reaching Sequence 2... Klein thought of the enemy in the same space as Angel again, and frowned more and more.
He knows that he can now leave "Dream City" and go to Spirit World or return to reality, as long as he uses the Traveler soul of "Creeping Hunger" Grazing, but he still lacks the most effective way to enter "Mirror World".
Of course, he could now pray to any target without worrying about the punishment of the law, so he quickly thought of a way and started chanting Angel to Honorific Name with Ancient Hermes:
"Queen Feared by Pirates, Master of the Spirit World Boat, Nightmare of Thousands of Ships, Incarnation of Pain and Despair..."
Immediately, the golden Angelica appeared in front of him.
"Huh?"
Klein couldn't help but make a sound of surprise, and then discovered that the person who returned to "Dream City" with Angel was also the clone of Amon with short brass hair and a fat figure, "Archon" Goredolf.
This frightened him so much that he instantly swapped places with a rabbit not far away, causing the latter to swell up and turn into another Gehrman that looked just like the real one, but was so Feather Fall that it was almost floating.
Then, Rabbit Gehrman asked cautiously:
"What's going on?"
He could see that Angel and Amon did not take action in "Mirror World", but returned here immediately after using contradictory laws to destroy City Law, but this was the point that puzzled him the most.
Even if the two of them hit reality from the mirror and destroyed the entire street when they landed, he wouldn't be so surprised.
"The matter is complicated, so I'll keep it short..." Angel glanced at Goredolf, "In short, he didn't try to escape or fight back, but voluntarily came back here with me. He has temporarily become a collaborator."
"Cooperation? For what?"
Anne Gustav fell from the sky and landed on the messy street. He stared at "Archon" Amon and asked in a bad tone.
She had just been attacked continuously by "Hand of Order" controlled by the opponent, and she was not in a good mood.
"To save this city."
He casually took the brass monocle Stealing that Nemo had left on the ground, wiped the dust off and put it in his right eye socket, "Archon" Goredolf said.
Arriving at the rooftop of the City Hall, Angel, who no longer had to worry about legal restrictions, used the "mirrors" everywhere to quickly understand the current situation of the entire city.
Originally floating in the air, with the sea below and the false sky around it, layers of illusory mist have appeared on the periphery of "Floating City", and the separation between "reality" and "Spirit World" is becoming blurred.
Above the city, the magnificent light of dusk and the quiet moonlight of Crimson Moon divide the sky, as if the entire city is in two states at the same time.
The trajectory of Floating Island, which was held up by the gravity of Distortion, also changed. It no longer moved forward steadily, but went up and down, sometimes faster and sometimes slower. The result was an earthquake-like movement in the city above. Houses shook and river water poured in. Residents ran out of their homes and went to parks, squares and other open places to avoid being crushed by collapsed houses below.
In the suburbs, the grass is as tall as shrubs, and the trees are overgrown. The farmed animals have also undergone varying degrees of mutation, breaking through the fences of the farms with ferocity and running toward the city.
"The operation of the entire city was originally achieved by the mutual cooperation of multiple Pathway Beyonder Characteristic. However, after the death of 'Night Emperor', his descendants snatched back a copy of the 'Hand of Order' characteristics and integrated them into the Hand of Order that was about to leave the imperial port. 'Ghost Empire', which replaces 'Balancer', is superior to other Sequence 2's Beyonder Characteristic, and also allows the city's originally designed system to be modified and replaced by self-improved laws, forming the current unique system..."
Next to Angel, "Archon" Goredolf explained.
No, he is no longer a "consul". After the laws conflicted with each other and were all wiped out, the city no longer has a normal administrative system and is in a state of complete barbarism.
Of course, this is also the reason why "Dream City" is currently experiencing various abnormalities.
Looking at the gradually becoming chaotic streets from a high place, Goredolf continued:
"... But now, the strict rule system that 'Hand of Order' has gradually formed after more than a thousand years has been found by outsiders and completely collapsed in self-contradiction. In the next hour, it will try to gradually formulate new laws and form a complete system again.
"But within this hour, it will give up control of other Beyonder Characteristics, which is equivalent to causing multiple '0' level Sealed Artifacts to lose their seals and release the various powers they possess. I am afraid that in less than an hour, in just ten minutes, this beautiful but fragile city will be destroyed by various raging extraordinary forces.
"That includes one copy of 'Planeswalker' for Apprentice Pathway Sequence 2, one copy of 'Catastrophe' for Demoness Pathway Sequence 2, and one copy of Black Emperor Pathway Sequence 2's 'Duke of Entropy', and a copy of 'mother' Pathway's Sequence 2, 'Barren Matriarch'."
"Planeswalker" provides this Floating City with the power to tear apart Spirit World and exist for a long time in the gap between Spirit World and reality; "Catastrophe" Demoness uses Mirror World to open up a space for it to exist for a long time, and can even replicate the sea water, air, day and night, and four seasons changes in the outside world; "Duke of Entropy" Distortion allows the floating city to float against gravity, and at the same time sail around the Sonia Sea in a regular but difficult to detect trajectory. As for "Barren Matriarch"... It sounds like Angel of "Planter" Pathway. I'm afraid it is the basis for this city to support the lives of 100,000 people...
Angel immediately guessed the power of these Beyonder Characteristic, and was also surprised by the ingenuity of "Dream City" at the beginning of the design to only need one "Balancer" characteristic to integrate multiple powers and allow them to operate normally under order.
Of course, everything is now under the control of "Hand of Order", and it has no time to take care of these Beyonder Characteristic.
Four pieces of Beyonder Characteristic, which are equivalent to "0" level Sealed Artifact, are about to destroy the entire city!
They don't even have to do anything. As long as they stop maintaining the city in the conflict with each other, the entire floating city will fall into the depths of Spirit World, disintegrate and disappear in Storm, along with the 100,000 people inside.
"So, what should be done to save this city?"
Klein, who had a basic understanding of the current situation, frowned and asked.
He temporarily put aside his fear of Amon's clone. After all, when "Hand of Order" lost its effect, they had Arbiter Angel standing on their side, who had an absolute advantage in strength.
"Transfer all residents first?"
Angel replied subconsciously. She cast her gaze on the streets below and found that most people were not panicked by the increasingly violent shaking and strange phenomena in various parts of the city. Instead, they maintained basic stability and gathered in squares and streets, waiting.
But the "order" they are waiting for may not come for the time being...
"No, it is impossible to transfer 100,000 people in one hour..." Goredolf shook his head and glanced at Angel, "Unless you are promoted to Sequence 2 now and absorb the 'Catastrophe' characteristics, it is possible to transfer everyone to Mirror World and avoid the occurrence of Catastrophe."
Immediately, he looked at Anne Gustav, who had been silent, and said solemnly:
"The only way now is to let the power of another 'Balancer' take control of the situation, bring all the Beyonder Characteristic that are about to get out of control back to order, and re-support this 'Dream City'.
"I hope you can become the new 'Consul' and take on this responsibility."
Hearing this sentence, Angel felt a sense of astonishment in his heart that he had returned to the original place.
When several people came to this city and saw Goredolf, the latter made this request to Anne, hoping that she could take over the position of "Consul".
Could it be that Amon's Avatar had a premonition of this crisis to some extent?
