The “gate” was full of evil eyes that were yellow and white. They were dense and did not blink at all. Despite the blockage of the marvelous domain, the sorcerers, knights, and ordinary people who looked up from the ground felt that their minds were in chaos. They could barely control the madness of their souls and their surging desire for slaughter.

The left arm of Maltimus’ real body did not recover as quickly as before and remained missing, but the chaotic and bloody gate took shape rather slowly. Of course, it was only slow compared to how Viken melted the primeval hell earlier. It actually only took several seconds.

During the few seconds, the two reflections of the cosmoses surpassed the boundary slowly but surely. Their edges overlapped but did not affect each other. Even two asteroids that seemed to be colliding passed each other and flew away. They seemed next to each other, but at the same time, they seemed to be in two completely different worlds, not knowing each other’s existence at all!

As the edges of the two cosmoses overlapped, Lucien’s soul with the features of Xiafeng and the soul that was half Lucien leaned more and more into each other, starting to melt miraculously!

Just now, they were like two independent persons holding the cosmos before them with their backs against each other, but right now, they were like conjoined twins who shared the back!

There was no dazzling brilliance, violent noises, or other unimaginable phenomena. The two Luciens began to melt in a strange and unique way just now. The more they melted, the more obvious the feeling that they did not belong to this world was.

For some reason, the lost souls and primeval devils began to tremble in fear. Even though they no longer had concrete bodies and were entirely made of negative feelings, they couldn’t help but feel intimidated.

Gold, green, black, red, and all the other colors began to shiver. The lost souls and the primeval devils were dismembered, releasing the powerful attraction force that only negative feelings and primeval devils could perceive.

The elven queen was just pulling the Bow of Nature’s Punishment when her body became blurry and a shadow was about to crawl out.

Aglaea had to stop and melt her body into the reflection of the elven tree behind her, restraining the shadow with its root.

On the thirty-fourth floor of the Allyn magic tower…

Although Brook was stronger than Melmax and had the help of Oliver and Bergner, he had to focus most of his attention on controlling the aftermath to prevent Allyn from being ruined. The three legendary sorcerers were engaged with Devil Melmax in such a fierce battle that Brook’s library was razed to the ground.

Had it not been for the deep, dark magnetic field and the cage made of silver, terrifying electric snakes, the battle of top legends would’ve definitely destroyed the magic tower and half of Allyn.

However, even though the battle was difficult, Brook was not anxious, because he knew very well that Melmax’s project could not last. The real key was still the battle of demigods and top legends in the sky.

Suddenly, Melmax froze, and shadows and negative light spurted out of his body into the sky. Due to the changes caused by Lucien, it was impossible for him to resist the attraction force now that he did not have a real body or his longsword.

Although Brook, Oliver, and Bergner had no idea what was happening in the sky, Melmax’s changes were certainly no secrets for them. Seizing the opportunity, Brook’s Kingdom of Electromagnetism constricted and confined Melmax, and Oliver and Bergner pushed him into the demiplane with their legendary spells.

Zi, Zi, Zi.

Melmax was shoved into the Kingdom of Electromagnetism. Brook was immediately relieved. He would be fearless in his demiplane. After all, the students and servants had already evacuated. Also, in his demiplane, he was as strong as a demigod.

“I’ll finish him. You go to control Allyn’s defense circle,” Brook said in the telepathic bond as he entered the Kingdom of Electromagnetism.

Although the control pivots on this floor had all been destroyed, there were other control pivots in Fernando, Hellen, and Hathaway’s libraries on the thirty-third floor.

Under the help of Prospell, Oliver entered Fernando’s library, which was unlocked, and controlled the defense of Allyn.

It was not until this moment that they had the time to observe the battle in the sky.

“Lucien is trying to break into the demigod level…” Slightly frowning, Oliver said, “However, it is entirely different from Mr. President’s. It’s not demiplane versus the cognitive world plus the starry star of destiny, but the real cosmos1 versus the actual cosmos2.”

The primeval devils might have neglected it, but Oliver, as a legendary sorcerer, keenly sensed the fundamental difference between the two breakthroughs. During Lucien’s advancement, his demiplane was merely a medium and not an important part.

Bergner asked in confusion, “Is it based on the observer effect? Is the feedback of the real world an observer effect?”

“Maybe…” Oliver hesitated. “In any case, if he can advance successfully, there will be no way for Viken to make the breakthrough.”

……

In Rentato, in Nekso Palace.

A silver sword that carried hideous cracks of the void broke Atlant’s defense and hit him, but he put on a weird smile and collapsed quickly like a broken mirror.

Another illusion? Natasha, who was holding her Sword of Truth, slightly changed her expression and blinked. Exactly at this moment, an ancient and distant sound echoed at the perfect timing.

“Visual Deprivation!”

Natasha’s body was immediately bent as if she had been smashed by a hammer. Blood flowed out of her eyes, and she went through a lot of trouble to get back on her feet. However, her silver eyes lost their splendor. It seemed that she couldn’t see anything anymore.

Having been transformed into the status of primeval devils, Atlant was truly mysterious and unpredictable. Since the battle began, Natasha had hit him seventeen times, but he was an illusion ten times, and some noble or knight outside died on behalf of him the other seven times!

Despite the help of Morris, Natasha could not tell whether or not the Atlant before her was real or fake. So, as she attacked with her full strength, she gradually lost her hearing, touch, smell, and vision.

Closing her eyes, Natasha sensed the environment with her willpower. Suddenly, she slashed out again; her sword flashing coldly and indifferently.

The cracking sound of the void echoed, and Atlant’s body was hit by the light of the sword.

However, the body broke again like a mirror, not giving any sense of reality.

“Sense Deprivation!” Atlant’s voice came from all directions, and everything became dim all of a sudden in Natasha’s eyes. She seemed to be left alone standing where she was in the whole world.

Seeing that, Atlant’s images appeared everywhere around her. He smiled and said, “I said that you cannot stop me. I’ll ask for somebody inside the Allyn magic tower to turn on the portal in exchange for yourself.”

Faced with such a tough and strong legendary knight, Atlant could not deprive her of her senses and intuitions once and for all. He could only do it step by step.

Hardly had he concluded his sentence when his eyes were opened, and a silver sword glittered.

Crack.

All the images were broken, and a body made of twisted colorful light showed up, falling apart under the hideous illusionary gaps.

“How… How could you find me?” Atlant struggled to say, filled with disbelief. How could Natasha find him right now when she failed to with all her senses and intuitions?

Cling.

A unique-shaped necklace appeared in Natasha’s hands, which emitted the crisp sound of metal collisions.

Although Atlant did not recognize the item, he could tell that it could help Natasha resist multiple attacks that were based on illusions. However, just now…

“You…” His body was even closer to destruction.

As if she heard his question, Natasha’s lackluster eyes gradually recovered. She chuckled and replied, “It was on purpose.

“This is a legendary item that Lucien crafted with the materials in the treasury of Holm, but it cannot help me find you. I intentionally let you deprive me of my senses and intuitions because my eyes, ears, and intuitions would deceive me… Only by eliminating their interferences and sensing with the mind could I really ‘see’ this world and you who were hiding in the dark.

“Well, since a long time ago, I’ve been practicing in seclusion where it’s quiet and I can’t sense anything.”

She changed Lucien’s words so that Atlant understood what had happened.

At this moment, the enormous attraction force from the primeval hell came over, and the negative feelings inside Atlant’s body flew out. His eyes became clear again. He coughed and said in regrets, “Why… Why couldn’t it happen sooner? In that case, I wouldn’t have been manipulated by Viken.”

Natasha stepped forward. Her war boot let out crisp sounds on the ground as she said solemnly, “Although I hate to speak to someone dying so bluntly, I have to say that instead of complaining that the changes in the primeval hell are too late, you should complain that you made a decision too early. You should’ve waited to choose your path until Mr. President became a demigod.”

Atlant heaved a long sigh, and his body collapsed completely.

Under the Sword of Truth, there was absolutely no chance for him to be resurrected.

Natasha raised her head and looked at the changes in the high sky with her half-recovered vision. She said with a smile, “Why didn’t you do it sooner? That way, I wouldn’t have taken such a risk…”

She could’ve hidden in the Atomic Universe with the Grand Duke of Orvarit as it would be impossible for Atlant to break in. However, she felt obliged to stick with her subjects at such a moment.

……

The foul and chaotic gate was opened in a loud noise, and a meatball with countless eyes and the limbs of countless species rolled out, spreading out the air of blood, slaughter, and craziness.

Exactly at this moment, the breakthrough of the two Luciens approached the end. Their bodies below the head had been completely melted, but their faces were still facing their respective cosmos.

The two Luciens suddenly put on a miserable expression. They leaned backward at the same time and began the final melting. The two cosmoses with a blue planet and a misty planet did not seem as independent from each other. A strange, cracking sound of rubbing came out!

BOOM!

The volcanoes inside the hell erupted at the same time. Every devil sensed that the void next to them was trembling and creaking, as if the world was about to fall apart, and from the places they could not see, another enormous cosmos was running over!

“No!”

The illusionary feeling made all the devils cry and scream from the bottom of their hearts. For a moment, the whole hell was filled with such noises. Even the few devil dukes were trembling, having no idea where their fear came from.

In Allyn and Rentato, Heidi, Annick, Ali, and the other people also heard the squeaking sound from the void next to them, as if something was crushing it from the other side, and it was on the verge of destruction under the enormous pressure.

What was going on?

Shock, panic, fear, delight, and all the other feelings burst out!

Some were scared, some trembled, some kneeled, and some cheered!
