In the square, the two of them whispered loudly.
The square was utterly silent.
Had the Night Doctors led by White Night not all been wearing Plague Doctor Masks, everyone would surely have seen the bizarre, contorted expressions beneath them.
And just as they were whispering among themselves...
Suddenly.
A powerful holy aura erupted from the High Tower, instantly blanketing the entire square. At the same time, the Gate of the High Tower opened from within. As one Imperial Guard Night Doctor after another poured out, the girl the Colossus Brain had become and the enormous Titan Head, its eyes gleaming fiercely, emerged in turn and took up positions guarding the entrance to the entire Divine Temple.
None of them said a word.
The Imperial Guards who emerged merely exchanged a look with the Night Doctor force at the front. White Night immediately nodded and led the densely packed Night Doctors around both sides, swiftly surrounding the Divine Temple's High Tower. Every one of them entered combat readiness, forming a protective perimeter around the central High Tower.
"Silence, everyone. From this moment onward, no one may leave Dark Night City for any reason. Anyone discovered attempting to contact the outside world will be executed immediately, without mercy."
As the supreme directive was issued...
An immense, deadly tension instantly enveloped the entire square.
Everyone in the square snapped to attention.
Looking at the Gate guarded by the two most powerful flesh origins, there was no doubt that Dark Night City's leaders inside were about to launch a large-scale operation, or had already prepared to cast some terrifying curse spell.
The war had begun.
The underground Divine Temple beneath the High Tower.
