"Oh, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing if he is released like this..."

At the same time, when Night King's voice roared like thunder, shaking all spiritual creatures in the world, in Qinggang City at this time, Fire Thief stood on the high wall, with an open parchment behind him, and a helpless expression on his face.

Night King faced off against three ultimates, Staff Hider, Pale Hand, and Black Queen, and gained the upper hand.

Even at the ultimate level, this seems to be an unbelievable result.

After all, they are all ultimate, born in the same place.

There is no distinction between levels between them.

But if you think about it carefully, this seems to be inevitable and not unexpected.

The ultimate confrontation is more about characteristics.

Almost no ultimate would choose to use their own spiritual power to directly collide. Their advantage lies in the most powerful Mental Pollution...

When Mental Pollution acts on a person, it is also subtly connected with his or her spiritual core. Which characteristic of a person is most obvious at ordinary times will be more susceptible to which kind of pollution, and fear has always been the background of everyone in the wilderness.

Ambition, desire, and even pride are naturally present.

But struggling to survive in the wilderness, these emotions have long been pushed to the edge of one's own spirit.

Therefore, in this confrontation where the minds of hundreds of thousands of people are the battlefield.

Terror Demon King is invincible.

Of course, although they are now on the same front, Fire Thief still feels a little uneasy after seeing Night King's violence and rampage, especially since Night King's back is turned to him at this time, so it is easy to attack...

"Alas..."

In the end, Fire Thief shook his head and gave up the idea.

At this moment, Night King, who was standing high in the air outside the city and looking down at the world, suddenly shivered inexplicably.

"Strange, why did my back feel a little cold just now?"

"..."

"..."

The ultimate and chaotic refugees outside the city have been blocked, and the situation inside the city has been brought under control.

The abyss worms that come from the Eastern Sea can be said to have no rivals in terms of ultimate characteristics.

Because it can swallow up almost any kind of spiritual power.

But now, it has been blocked by Fire Thief's borrowed "knowledge".

It is still devouring everything in front of it crazily, and it seems that it will never stop and will never be full.

However, these worms with the weakest consciousness in the ultimate world did not realize that at this time, they had been introduced into the books by Fire Thief, and from the books, they were introduced into the parchment unfolded behind Fire Thief.

If someone from Qinggang opens a book and borrows it to read, they will find that the content in the book is confusing.

All the words seem to have a life of their own, constantly climbing, twisting, and squirming.

It's like turning into insects.

And this is exactly the method Fire Thief uses to fight against the abyss worm.

Use infinite knowledge to fill your hungry stomach that will never be filled.

Fire Thief cannot defeat the Abyss Worm on the frontal battlefield, but he can seal the worm in the Scroll of Truth.

Similarly, as more and more abyssal worms were introduced into the parchments, the chaos that had just arisen in Qinggang had also been calmed down. One after another, the residents of Qinggang who had just been devoured by the abyss worms had certain emotions, so their perception and thinking had changed. At this moment, they also tried their best to control themselves. A small number of people who have completely lost their ability to control themselves have also been cleared.

City Defense Department's troops are still rushing to every street in Qinggang to maintain order.

Although the chaotic situation still exists, the people have not yet been able to enter the underground bunkers.

However, this one sneaked directly into Qinggang City, and the crisis caused has been quietly eliminated at the source.

"How could this happen?"

"How can Qinggang, a small city, hold us back?"

But at the same time when the crisis faced by Qinggang was quietly resolved, Staff Hider, Pale Hand, and Black Queen, who had just suffered huge losses in a battle, felt the depression and anger in their hearts, which was indescribable, and a kind of unwillingness surged from their hearts.

This is obviously an unacceptable result.

Especially for Staff Hider and Pale Hand.

They were not able to be the first batch of Ultimates to come to reality. After working hard for so many years, the advent plan was interrupted by Fate Seer at Kindling City, and they suffered a big loss because of it. One had his hand taken away, and the other had part of his origin forcibly taken away. Now they have finally come to reality. They were supposed to gain the upper hand, but who would have expected that they would suffer another loss in front of Night King?

The origin has been lost too much, and I am on the verge of falling.

As the ultimate, they absolutely cannot accept such a result.

"God's Authority..."

Staff Hider sighed in a low voice, with a hint of annoyance and hatred in his voice.

Facing Night King's arrogance and madness, he could only bite the bullet and rush forward, with the remaining chains flying around him.

Originally, he was left to deal with the tyrant.

Their target this time was originally the tyrant, using Qinggang as bait to make the tyrant throw a trap.

But they didn't expect that just Night King would cause them such a big loss.

Now they can no longer wait, because at this moment, what they are facing is not whether they have the upper hand or not, but their own rank.

Therefore, I made this decision with inner struggle, hatred and helplessness.

While shouting these words in a low voice, Domination Chains, who had mostly been destroyed by fear, tore his body apart violently, and immediately more chains flew out of his body like bats out of their caves, covering the sky with darkness.

And in this chaotic, crazy darkness, there was a faint light shining from the depths of his body.

As the light weakened, it became clear that it was a scepter.

An insubstantial but tangible scepter, twisted by endless, purest and high-quality spiritual power.

It is hidden in Staff Hider's body.

The moment the scepter appeared, Staff Hider, one of the few Domination Chains, suddenly stood straight, like black sharp swords, with him as the center, rapidly extending outwards, and each chain penetrated thousands of heads in an instant.

Like iron rods, they connected the endless people around them.

Then there began to be endless spiritual power, as if losing the ability to control oneself, converging crazily towards Staff Hider.

Even the surrounding ground suddenly trembled, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.

The surrounding ground turned black and cracked, revealing dark red wounds, with lava gushing out from inside.

No one knows if this is really the ground cracking, exposing magma.

But everyone can feel the extremely oppressive madness, and feel the gradual loss of their own consciousness and thinking.

Just like when worker ants see the queen, they feel a natural sense of dominance.

Endless fantasies began to appear in my mind.

I even saw thick tentacles extending up from the ground and waving into the sky.

Facing the extension of the tentacle, a shadow appeared on the body of everyone who saw it.

That's because the mental power can't be locked by one's body, and it starts to be eager to leave one's body.

"Shua..."

At the same moment, the anxious Pale Hand suddenly turned cold and hid deeply into the spiritual world of others.

He was already impatient and wanted Staff Hider to reveal his trump card.

But when I actually saw this scepter appear, the first thing I felt was fear.

Black Queen did the same, clenching his teeth, and his beautiful face even looked ugly due to the tense muscles.

God's Scepter!

The scepter was stolen when the Beginning died.

It was precisely because Staff Hider stole God's Scepter that he was restricted and could not come to reality immediately.

But this scepter also gave him ambition, making him attempt to create hell and come directly to reality as a new god. However, his plan was blocked. No one thought that God's Scepter would appear in such a battlefield for the first time in reality.

"Ah yo..."

The first moment my father saw the scepter, the night quickly shrank.

Before he had time to shrink his power, there were even faint signs of being taken away by God's Scepter.

Not only did he shrink his strength, he even wanted to escape immediately.

But before running away, he suddenly hesitated and glanced in the direction of the Mental Palace where Kid was.

"Huh..."

At the same time, Fire Thief inside Qinggang City closed the parchment roll behind him fiercely.

All the spiritual power sank, and the abyss worm was sealed in the parchment by him. However, he did not expect that without giving anyone a chance to breathe, he saw God's Scepter being born, instantly stirring up a huge whirlpool that was unimaginable.

"Is the real challenge coming?"

He sighed softly and looked from a distance, but even he was powerless.

"What happened?"

At the same time, in the mental power research base, before the smile of victory could creep onto their faces, everyone suddenly felt the strong sense of oppression. The sharp instability of mental power gave everyone a splitting headache, as if there was a crack in their head.

Mr. Su had already raised his legs and ran towards the helicopter, but after running for a few steps, his legs became weak.

He turned to look at Professor Bai without tears, and cursed, "Old Bai, it's your uncle's fault, you..."

But halfway through the curse, he suddenly stopped.

Because he saw that at this moment, Professor Bai was standing on the edge of the base, in front of the Mental Palace, whose position was still changing.

It seemed as if he, as an ordinary person, stood in front of the Mental Palace.

There are layers of spiritual power coming in like water from outside. Although Night King is still around the base, all the spiritual power coming from the outside is blocked by the night, which is equivalent to being filtered. Therefore, the impact of the spiritual power is not as strong as the outside. But for an ordinary person like him, he still suffered great damage, and his body was shaking like a sieve.

But he still gritted his teeth and stood in front of Kid's Mental Palace, refusing to give in even a step.

This made Mr. Su and Minister Shen, who were preparing to retreat temporarily and then move in according to the military strategy, both slightly startled.

"Old Bai, what are you doing? Run quickly..."

They shouted with trembling voices, not knowing whether their voices were drowned in the mental turmoil.

As if he heard their shouts, Professor Bai's body trembled slightly and turned around.

The muscles on his face were slightly distorted, and blood flowed out of his nostrils.

But he tried his best to smile, opened his mouth slightly, and whispered, "This is our plan..."

The sound was so weak that almost no one heard it.

But everyone who saw him felt his attitude.

The spirit is a wonderful thing.

Sometimes, people can communicate without using language or words.

As a result, everyone hesitated slightly, and a subtle atmosphere seemed to emerge amid the panic in the entire base.

These people feel the power of God's Scepter and start to fear it from an instinctive level.

Ordinary people, researchers among ordinary people, began to look at each other in confusion.

Some people sighed softly, some shook their heads slightly, some had panic on their faces, and some were clearly on the verge of tears, but they lowered their heads and rubbed their eye sockets, raised their trembling legs that were almost weak, and slowly walked back, side by side with Professor Bai.

First Nanny Squad, then Professor Chen Liqing, then Chen Jing, then Central City's research team leader, then Minister Shen. Qinggang researchers... At the end, even Mr. Su wiped his face and stood behind everyone.

With their mortal bodies, they stood in front of Kid's Mental Palace.

There were many soldiers holding steel guns in the base, who were also shaken by the impact of the invisible spiritual power. At this moment, no one gave them orders, but when they saw this scene, they hesitated slightly and immediately ran forward to block the researchers. However, Professor Bai turned around and gently raised his hand to stop them:

"No need, kid."

"In the face of such power, we are all equally vulnerable, so no one has to protect anyone."

"..."

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this.

Then, they could only nod and stand together silently. No one was in front or behind, they just mingled and stood together.

"Old Bai..."

Mr. Su stretched his head, passed three or four people, and gently patted Professor Bai on the shoulder.

His expression seemed like he was about to cry, "Are you sure?"

Professor Bai shook his head slowly. "The matter has come to this, we can only believe in our own plan."

"The sifting cup has fallen, it's time to open the cards..."

"..."

Mr. Su made a sad face, but nodded slowly.

Minister Shen was somewhat curious and turned to look at him and said, "Mr. Su, I didn't expect you to come back."

"I didn't expect it either..."

Mr. Su looked miserable and said, "But the key point is that the helicopter pilot has fainted..."

The moment God's Scepter appeared, it affected the spiritual strength of everyone, including Qinggang.

And over time, this impact will expand endlessly.

But in the base, in this battle that goes beyond the ultimate level, the insignificant person has already made his choice.

And when they stood in front of the Mental Palace of Kid, they were behind them.

When God's Scepter began to have an increasingly strong influence on the surrounding spiritual power, Kid opened his eyes lightly.

The formatting of Midnight Court has been completed, and Kid is forming its own new Mental Palace.

But at such a critical time, even the experts and scholars with the most thorough research on spiritual power cannot help.

Because everyone's spiritual qualities are their own.

Others can understand the principles and advancement process of spiritual power, but they cannot change the spiritual characteristics.

Kid's Mental Palace has been brewing for a long time, changing constantly, but it has never stabilized.

It seemed that she was also a little confused in her heart. At the last moment, she didn't know where to go.

Until this moment, she seemed to sense something.

When he opened his eyes gently, a determined look appeared on his face.

"Holding the divine staff, I am the new god..."

The moment Staff Hider revealed God's Scepter, he began to frantically draw spiritual power from the surroundings.

Not to mention the chaotic spiritual power of the hundreds of thousands of crazy survivors around him, even Night King had a large part of the night ripped away by him. Even the weak Pale Hand and Black Queen had a large amount of their spiritual power taken away by the scepter.

Crimson Moon appeared in the sky. Under the dark red light, huge tentacles extended towards the sky.

Under the influence of God's Scepter, these huge tentacles faintly fell towards Staff Hider, like a forest blown by a strong wind.

When this huge gathering of spiritual power reached a limit that even Staff Hider could not support, he suddenly opened his eyes. His cold eyes were brighter than ever before, and there were strange mental fluctuations that instantly entered the minds of all spiritual creatures.

This is its announcement.

Immediately after the announcement, there was an unprecedented mental shock.

A spiritual impact that reached the edge of the seventh step.

Almost no one would doubt that Night King would be forced to retreat under such a mental shock.

The base, and even the entire Qinggang, will be completely wiped out.

"This damn..."

Night King's voice was trembling faintly. "Run away or not?"

Fire Thief, who was on the high wall of Qinggang, gently took off his hood, and his pale hair was unusually conspicuous under Crimson Moon.

Boom!

A voice that did not exist in reality suddenly sounded.

In this crazy mental turmoil, it seemed that everyone saw a mushroom cloud rising from the horizon on a spiritual level.

Immediately, Staff Hider gathered so much spiritual power that he could no longer control it and released it instantly.

Like a huge tide, madness surges forward.

Sisi's wisps of spiritual power turned into a savage beast under the terrifying pressure, and exceeded the terrifying level that a savage beast could reach. With astonishing destructive power, it clung to the ground, blowing up layers of weeds and submerging every inch of reality.

In front of Staff Hider, the survivors who were lying on the ground were the first to be shaken.

At this moment, their bodies were slightly raised at the same time, frozen in mid-air, and turned into statues.

If you go and check at this time, you will find that their brains are completely empty.

The brain was destroyed into the most complete smash, but the appearance seemed to be intact, but the expression became peaceful. Such a level of mental shock did not have the same impact on reality as a strong wind, but became silent, cold and scary.

Immediately afterwards, this kind of mental shock that was beyond the level of ordinary people's understanding came to Night King.

It was destroyed in the blink of an eye, without any possibility of confrontation.

Night King roared, and he began to work hard to shrink his huge body, wishing he could hide back in Qinggang.

Professor Bai, researchers, Mr. Su, and the soldiers in the base.

Facing the direction of the coming impact, I couldn't help but close my eyes.

But at this moment, behind them, the twisting and changing lines of the Mental Palace suddenly became stable.

A dazzlingly white wall appeared, dotted with star-like brilliance.

The pointed domes and fairy tale-like bricks have transformed from illusory lines intertwined with spiritual power into real textures.

Bright and narrow windows appeared on the wall, like the eyes of someone laughing.

The tall steps are like carved from bright crystal, leading to the mysterious palace.

A huge, enchanting statue of a man sitting on a stone in a daze appeared in front of the castle.

Like a castle in a fairy tale, it has come to reality.

Except for the slightly inconsistent statue of a man, everything else is a beautiful appearance that can only be achieved by using the imagination to the extreme.

At the moment when Mental Palace appeared, the brains of the people around seemed to stop slightly for a moment.

"Squeak..."

Even the sound of the palace door being gently opened seemed to be full of relaxation and joy.

A girl holding an umbrella in her hand and wearing a black skirt, as beautiful as Doll, slowly rose from the top of the Mental Palace. Her face was calm, and she seemed to have a little shyness and a smile. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt and took a step forward.

With just this step, she appeared in front.

Not only did he stand in front of these ordinary people who stood in the way of the Mental Palace, he even stood in front of Night King.

Faced with the mental impact that could annihilate any special qualities, she gently opened her umbrella and blocked these people.

As the umbrella opened, the light behind the Mental Palace became brighter.

Then, in the minds of Qinggang, the people in the Psychic Power Research Base, and even the survivors whose brains had not been completely destroyed, a dark door in the brain seemed to be opened, and a beautiful and happy emotion arose.

Sometimes, sadness and loneliness don't need a reason.

Relaxation and joy do not need a reason.

It's just a good mood.

Everyone deserves to have this beautiful mood, but we all forget that we still have such power.

Today's Qinggang and the survivors around Qinggang seem to have been reminded for a long time that there is such simple happiness.

As a result, they felt a feeling of being gently awakened from a nightmare deep in their hearts. They opened their sleepy eyes, gently raised their heads and looked forward, intertwined into a gentle force, and gathered on the open umbrella surface of Kid.

It's like a sky full of stars falling from the sky and lingering on the umbrella.

It's just that this time the starlight comes from the long-forgotten part deep in everyone's heart.

They are dotted one after another, bright and moving, connected and intertwined with each other, unfolding lightly, like an umbrella tens of thousands of times larger.

The spiritual shock that came from a distance close to the ground and was enough to destroy any mental characteristics was blocked by the wall of starlight centered on the umbrella. No one was forgotten, just like everyone should have the right to enjoy beauty.

The next moment...

...Suddenly dissipated like a gentle breeze.

"What?"

I don't know how many people were instantly horrified and their eyes widened.

The cognitive shock at this moment is no less than being directly hit in the mind by such a mental shock.

That kind of violent and terrifying mental impact was as terrifying as a nightmare. No one could use logical thinking to figure out what kind of power could be used to withstand it. However, such a violent impact suddenly dissipated when it met the starlight.

There is no room for imaginary explosions and annihilations.

Only lightness and gentleness.

All the spiritual power that came like a flood of beasts suddenly changed its nature when it rushed in front of Kid.

Originally, it was violently out of control, rolling across the earth with huge pressure, destroying all the spiritual qualities in front of it, but when it hit the wall of starlight, it suddenly became tame, so fast that one could hardly feel the tameness of the middle process...

The flood instantly turned into a stream, and the beast instantly turned into a cat.

Layers of spiritual power with huge kinetic energy, the moment they came into contact with the wall of starlight, they seemed to be affected by the beauty on the wall of starlight, and suddenly changed their state contrary to the laws of physics, becoming gentle and light, spreading out one by one, and then like a stream around Kid holding an umbrella, dancing happily, blowing up the ribbon on her skirt.

They like Kid.

So he couldn't bear to hurt her, so he became gentle when he was in front of her.

After all, this is the Goddess of Light that people in the wilderness look forward to and trust most in desperate situations.

She brings light to people in the last days.

So, what is light?

The answer is simple, light is beautiful...

"How is that possible?"

Staff Hider opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Kid, who was very close to him, with a look of horror on his face.

He suddenly felt that a certain quality was leaving him.

But he didn't even understand why the mental shock caused by God's Scepter couldn't hurt this girl.

However, before giving him time to figure it out, he suddenly felt a tear inside his body.

God's Scepter seemed to have his own consciousness, and suddenly broke away from his body, flying forward as fast as lightning.

This made his heart beat wildly and he didn't know why.

Mental powers like Kid.

Therefore, as God's Scepter, which is of the highest quality and purest spiritual power, I also like Kid.
