As Xia Yuan's words fell, the golden light at the tip of the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad began to undergo a fundamental change.
It was no longer a destructive light, but a gentle golden glow, as warm as the last rays of sunset.
The glow spread from the lance's tip, rippling outward in every direction.
Wherever it passed, space began to warp.
Not the distortion of space being violently torn apart, but something like ripples on water.
Beneath that glow, another landscape began to appear within the warped space.
It was a vast meadow, carpeted in lush green grass and dotted with wildflowers.
A clear stream wound through it, its waters sparkling in the sunlight.
In the distance stood a white tower, its spire piercing the clouds, looking especially sacred against the blue sky and white clouds.
The scene was as beautiful as something out of a fairy tale, so beautiful it stole one's heart.
As Gluttony and Envy looked at it, their expressions instantly darkened.
They could sense the glow spreading over all of Kunlun City, connecting the city to that mysterious Avalon.
"No! He's going to transfer those civilians!" Gluttony cried out, opening his mouth and spewing a dark yellow beam toward the glow.
Yet the instant the beam touched the golden glow, it vanished without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Before that glow, Gluttony's power was completely ineffective!
Envy acted as well, firing eerie green beams from her eyes in an attempt to copy the glow's power.
But the result of that attempt made her let out an agonized scream.
The glow's structure was far too complex for her copying ability to analyze. Instead, she suffered a backlash.
"What the hell is that?!" Envy clutched her eyes, her voice filled with terror.
