Volume 6, Chapter 44 – The Sealed Barrier—A Plan to Attempt Containing a Certain Evil God

High above, the aftershocks of energy collisions swept toward Clavino’s city district like an invisible tsunami. The capital, already unstable from Xi Xuan’s earlier battle with vassals, was now in complete chaos—windows shattered from the residual aura waves, walls showed vicious cracks, panicked citizens screamed and fled in all directions. Crying, collapsing sounds, and the roaring from the distant military base intertwined. The entire city had fallen into unprecedented panic.

“Hide quickly! No, no!! Get out of here!”

“Good heavens, what is that light? Has the military base been destroyed?”

“Don’t run around randomly! Go to the shelters!”

“Curse power aura… still this strong? Has an evil god attacked?”

“The Terran Malevolence… Gaia Lobir…”

Amidst the chaos, police and soldiers futilely maintained order. But faced with energy fluctuations of this level, human panic was thoroughly activated—maintaining calm was simply impossible. Many people looked up toward the sky, only able to see two blurred figures colliding in the clouds and that light curtain of interwoven pale silver and ice-blue covering half the sky. Only deep fear remained in their hearts.

At the same time,

At the battle’s center, Bai Lianyue floated in midair. Her black dress rustled loudly in the gale, her emerald and silver gradient long hair blown wildly by energy currents. Her gaze was locked deadly on the seven black-robed figures surrounding her. Complex emotions surged in her dark red eyes—shock, heartache, and a trace of disbelieving trembling.

“Aizak…” Her voice carried barely perceptible choking, her slender fingers curling slightly. “Baro… Santaya… Doair…”

Name after name was spoken from the evil god young lady’s mouth, each name corresponding to a memory from a thousand years ago.

Aizak, that honest knight who always smiled while distributing roasted meat to everyone. Baro, taciturn yet always able to protect his comrades at critical moments as a shield guard. Santaya, absolutely the smooth talker of the Celestial Augur Knights, Yelena’s father. Doair, skilled in healing magic, who had helped her heal and replenish spiritual power multiple times on the battlefield…

These were all comrades-in-arms she’d once fought alongside, shared life and death with…

But they’d clearly already been killed by those beasts from House Solrog. How could they reappear in this way?

Bai Lianyue stared intently at the black-robed figures’ hoods, as if trying to see through that layer of black fabric to the familiar faces beneath. But what she sensed was only cold deathly silence—not a trace of living person’s aura, much less those vivid soul fluctuations from her memories. They were like controlled puppets. Beyond the familiar spiritual power emanating from them, there was also that nauseating, strange aura sharing the same source as Corruption.

“Why…”

Bai Lianyue’s voice was low and hoarse.

“Why did it become like this…”

Facing Bai Lianyue’s reaction, the seven black-robed figures still maintained their circular encirclement posture, motionless, as if they’d heard nothing. They continued using the cold gazes beneath their hoods to lock onto Bai Lianyue eerily. The black aura around them intertwined with spiritual power, forming an invisible energy field that firmly enveloped the evil god young lady.

Seeing the black-robed figures unmoved, Bai Lianyue turned her gaze to Xi Xuan.

“Xi Xuan… what exactly is going on?”

Unfortunately, facing Bai Lianyue’s question, Xi Xuan, who’d just been full of murderous intent, had now become like a puppet with its strings cut. Though still releasing spiritual power to lock onto her, his eyes had gradually become hollow.

Just then, the ground suddenly transmitted intense vibrations. Bai Lianyue instinctively looked toward the sound. She saw that around the military base’s perimeter, seven massive metal towers rose from the ground, flipping over nearby tanks, mechas, and other heavy weapons. Like seven pillars supporting heaven, they instantly pierced through the smoke-filled sky.

These metal towers were constructed entirely of dark black alloy, hundreds of meters tall. The tower bodies were covered with complex patterns and energy nodes flashing red light, appearing full of technological sophistication and oppressive force. As soon as the towers appeared, they immediately emitted powerful energy fluctuations that produced a marvelous resonance with the spiritual power emanating from the seven black-robed figures.

“Buzzzzz—!!!”

A deep buzzing sound reverberated through heaven and earth. The seven metal towers simultaneously lit up with red light. Thick energy beams shot from the tower tops, precisely landing on the seven black-robed figures. The black aura around the robed figures instantly surged, fusing with the towers’ energy beams to form black energy bonds that tightly connected the seven towers with the seven black-robed figures… with these seven Celestial Augur Knights.

The next second,

Under the dumbfounded gazes of countless soldiers below, the black energy bonds began interweaving and spreading, rapidly forming a massive spherical barrier that enveloped Bai Lianyue, Xi Xuan, the seven black-robed figures, and the nearby troops within. The barrier’s walls presented a profound black color with dark red patterns flowing across them, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression, as if an unbreakable prison.

“This is… a sealed barrier? And moreover… Dawn Dominion Pillars? The Shenluo Empire’s technology?”

Bai Lianyue’s brows furrowed tight, a trace of gravity flashing through her dark red eyes. She could feel that the energy technology contained in the metal towers and barrier had similarities to the weapons systems of the Shenluo Empire from a thousand years ago, but with an added trace of Corruption’s strange power—clearly they’d been modified.

Bai Lianyue slowly turned around, her gaze moving away from the black-robed figures and Xi Xuan to survey her surroundings, seeming to search for something. Her face no longer showed the earlier shock and heartache. In their place was bone-piercing coldness and fury, her eyes becoming hollow and chilling—not because of being sealed, not because of being betrayed, but because her comrades had been so desecrated, treated as controlled tools, used against her…

Though Bai Lianyue was usually dopey, now? She already understood the situation around her.

“Polarvitan!”

Bai Lianyue’s furious roar exploded like a thunderclap, shaking the barrier walls until they trembled slightly. Terrifying light burst from her dark red eyes as ice-blue curse power erupted uncontrollably from within her body, continuously distorting the surrounding space.

“You stinking brat!! Get out here!!”

Furious curse power swirled around the evil god young lady. Her black dress rustled loudly, her long hair moved without wind, and the overwhelming presence she emanated made even the distant Xi Xuan instinctively retreat half a step.

But inside or outside the barrier, the Abyssal Lord’s figure didn’t appear. In her place, a figure slowly rose from the ground. It was a robust man wearing deep blue scale armor covering his upper body and arms. His features were resolute, with a thick beard on his chin and a pair of blue eyes as deep as the ocean. The formidable aura of the Vassals of Sea emanated from him.

The man slowly floated outside the barrier, calmly facing Bai Lianyue. Then he bowed slightly to her in a respectful gesture, his tone calm yet carrying unquestionable firmness:

“Lord Gaia Lobir, it’s been a while.”

“It’s you.” Bai Lianyue’s voice was bone-chillingly cold, her dark red eyes staring intently at Bazor.

“Bazor?”

Polarvitan’s vassal, the Vassals of Sea’s second-in-command… the old fellow who’d clashed with Yelena multiple times before.

“For Lord Gaia Lobir to actually remember me—what an honor.”

“Where’s Polarvitan?! Tell her to get out here! This is her doing, isn’t it?!”

“My lord jests.”

Bazor straightened up.

Even directly facing Bai Lianyue’s overwhelming curse power oppression, his face showed not the slightest fear.

“Lord Polarvitan has pressing matters to attend to and cannot appear at the moment. I came here only to fulfill my lord’s entrustment—hoping that Lord Gaia Lobir can stay here for a while.”

“Stay here for a while? Cannot appear?”

Silently repeating Bazor’s words, Bai Lianyue’s eyes suddenly contracted.

An ominous premonition immediately spread through her heart.

“That Polarvitan!! Where exactly is she right now?!!”
