Moran Gubler!

This fifth-tier legend, the mastermind behind the Nia City attack, and a key figure in the Ancient Serpent Society, would undoubtedly be a renowned figure in the mystical realm.

Once their tracks are caught, and the Federation and the Church join forces to strike, will they simply vanish into nothingness without even the slightest resistance?

It has to be said that this is a terrifying deterrent for any unskilled professional!

What they see today might even become their eternal Nightmare, serving as a warning: never attempt to provoke the Federation and the Church, or you will pay a heavy price!

"That's it... Even a fifth-tier legendary figure can be erased as long as their whereabouts are exposed and the Federation and the Church are willing to pay the price..."

Rhode sighed, his gaze grave.

The same applies to Sulu.

The Federation and the Church have achieved their goals. What's next? Will they simply wipe out all the wild superhumans?

Although the possibility is very small, there are tens of thousands of superhumans in the entire Mystery Market, mixed with a small number of ordinary people. If they were all wiped out here, the impact might be even more sensational than killing Moran!... Of course, all negative.

"But... the omen I had in my dream didn't refer to Moran... nor to this great battle, but rather... what's to come?"

Sulu's pupils contracted as he followed Rhode to the center of the market, near the Grand Auction House.

He knew he had to find a way to escape.

Even now, the light sealing the secret realm has not faded.

At the center of the market, a large number of professionals had gathered, restless and discussing amongst themselves.

Besides that, there were faint cries, mourning the unfortunate souls who had just been on the legendary battlefield.

"Gentlemen..."

A gentle voice emerged from the void, echoing throughout the area. "Everything that just happened was solely for the purpose of apprehending Federation criminal. Next... please assist with the investigation."

"We will not let any bad person go unpunished, nor will we slander any good person. In ten minutes, an entrance will open, and those leaving must have their identities checked!"

"In ten hours, we will conduct a thorough search of the secret realm! This is also for the security of the upcoming Exchange Conference..."

The voice was gentle and slow, yet carried an unimaginable firmness.

Those who heard the words immediately began to discuss among themselves, some even pacing anxiously in place.

Most of them are wild superhumans, and hiding their identities has become instinctive for them. Why would they want to be exposed to the spotlight?

Needless to say, some members of the Ancient Serpent Society and the Black Death Society were definitely mixed in.

"This is unfair treatment! We protest!"

"Let's unite and fight them!"

Several enticing voices rang out, but unfortunately, few responded.

After all, they're facing the Federation and the Church; they just wiped out a fifth-tier opponent. At this point... who would dare to cause trouble?

"Besides cracking down on the criminals, this remaining operation may also be a prelude to the Duke Act... Have we become the pilot and guinea pigs?"

Sulu muttered to himself.

If even this group of people cannot be suppressed and eliminated, then the so-called Professional Registration Act will be a joke.

"It looks like that..."

Rhode shrugged, not particularly worried.

He was practically a member of the Church of the Goddess of Light, and had never committed any evil deeds... except for using fake documents to deceive people!

Besides, his teacher was an old Witch Hunter from the Church of the Goddess of Light, so there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

Aside from him, most extraordinary individuals and ordinary people are also willing to believe the official stance.

Only a small minority of people with a guilty conscience would be as anxious as ants on a hot pan, like... Sulu!

"How will the Federation and the Church conduct their inspections?"

He tugged at Rhode's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"It's very strict... it probably includes alignment checks, aura detection, and even divination for cases that are difficult to judge..."

Rhode assumed Sulu was concerned about other things. "You'd better take off that mask."

'So this means we'll definitely be found out? That makes sense... there's definitely a legendary-level professional on the other side. Damn it...'

Sulu knew he had a lot of blood on his hands from the Church of Light and the Bureau 11. Although he might be able to get away with it, he really didn't dare to take the gamble!

If you lose the bet, you lose everything!

'Is this my real crisis?'

He saw a portal appear at the market exit, and two rows of people from the Bureau 11 and the Church of Light walked out, looking serious as they prepared to 'verify' their identities.

They're just taking the first step; there might be a double guarantee of high-level professionals and special Curio to follow!

Some people with clean backgrounds, after thinking about it for a moment, walked over without hesitation.

Most people are still standing still and observing.

At that moment, the voice rang out again. "Ten hours later, we will conduct a mandatory search, and anyone hiding there will be considered an enemy!"

Given the opponent's bizarre method of finding even Moran, none of the professionals present were confident they could escape.

Finally, another group of people headed towards the exit.

'hateful...'

Sulu took a deep breath, gazing at the translucent, sealing light: 'Although this light doesn't seem capable of sealing off the higher levels of the Spirit World, my ' Evil Spirit Knight Card ' has been used up, rendering me unable to Spirit World Travel anymore. Even if I were to release it completely, I might not be able to break through... Besides, it will definitely turn against me first.'

'And even if we could get through to the Spirit World, that Angel might be waiting for us...'

'A desperate situation! No... there's still a chance.'

Sulu looked at Rhode and gave him an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry... let's part ways here."

"What?"

Rhode was startled, then immediately understood. "You..."

He grabbed Sulu's shoulder, but in the next instant, the Shadow Clone vanished into nothingness.

"Ah!"

Rhode wanted to shout to the heavens, but dared not go too far, lest he bring disaster upon Sulu: "Why... why is this happening?"

He understood his younger brother and knew that once the other made a choice, he would definitely stick to it.

Furthermore, what would make him lack confidence in passing the inspection must be a shocking case!

"I can't panic... Sulu might still have a way to escape."

Rhode forced himself to remain calm and observed the people around him.

Inside the auction house, in a meeting room.

"Inspect? Who gave them the authority to inspect the private property of my Harris Family?"

An elderly man with white hair roared, his voice filled with fear.

"Heh... They're not ordinary Enforcer, but a truly privileged department. You can protest afterwards, but now... it's useless!"

A young man, idly trimming his nails, said, "Dear Uncle Bangia... I remember you once assassinated a bishop of the Goddess of Light, right? With an experience like that, you probably wouldn't even pass the first test!"
