Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 213 Capture

The Rose School branch in East Balam had a day they would never forget.

Since for 99% of the members, their lives ended tonight, the word "unforgettable" is completely correct.

When the sun rose early and the brilliant purifying light fell on the center of the city, the more optimistic leaders of the Rose School who were not directly purified into ashes by this wave of light were still wondering whether the angels of the Eternal Sun Church had launched a surprise attack and who had revealed the whereabouts of His Highness Sua. But after a moment of daylight, the coming night dispelled their speculations.

"His mother's!"

An indulgent demigod was purified in despair, leaving only his last words: "This is an enemy attack!!" echoing in the night sky.

This inconspicuous East Balam town seemed to have become the center of the world all of a sudden. The sun rose, the wind started to blow, and night fell again. An unreasonable high tide occurred in the middle of the night. In just a few minutes, the tide submerged the private port of the Indulgence Faction, and a huge amount of seawater rushed directly into the city.

The Eternal Sun wiped out the entire town in one blow. The surrounding hills, forests, houses and buildings were all washed white. Not a single body was left. Everything was purified until nothing was left.

Only a few buildings near Suea still existed, and not all the people inside were dead.

Then the sunlight slowly faded, and the night once again covered the sky with twinkling stars. Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

After the sun returned to the astral world, the knowledge and information lingering around it also disappeared.

In fact, the surrounding distant scenery quickly became illusory. This small town with only a few houses left seemed to be separated from the surrounding world. The scene fluctuated and slowly became transparent and blurred.

However, a star in the sky that did not belong to the Goddess of Night kept flashing, not only emitting light in the night sky, but also shining continuously in Suea's spiritual perception. A very high-level power blocked the Goddess of Night's actions, preventing Her from successfully bringing Suea into her dream.

Once entering the dream, Suea will surely die facing the attacks of the two gods.

If Suea dies, the characteristics of Sequence One will also be lost. The Mother Tree of Desire cannot let this happen.

At this moment, Suea, who was at the center of the storm (double meaning), had just come to his senses.

He sensed a deadly danger. This time, it was not just one or two churches that were perfunctorily wiping them out, but several gods coming together! No wonder the warning from the "Bound God" just now could not reach his ears.

This is not a problem that can be solved with money. There really is a God who wants to invite Him to sit in the private room of his own underground sealed room!

The more dangerous it is, the more confused his mind becomes. Sue had almost thought of the product introduction after he became a sealed object. But the roar of the "bound god" in his mind woke him up again. He didn't care about the subordinates and civilians around him who were still using the sealed objects to resist. The human form that bound him melted and collapsed.

He quickly turned into a giant tree nearly a hundred meters tall, and continued to grow. His surface was dark and sticky, as if it had been covered with oil.

On the "trunk", on the surface of the sticky black liquid, bloodshot black and white eyeballs rolled around one after another. These eyes would instantly make the people they saw lose their minds, and cast a "transformation curse" to turn the surrounding soldiers into small animals and toys with no fighting power. But at this moment, He was fighting alone, and these frenzied curses caused His subordinates, who were already struggling to hold on, to suffer devastating damage.

The hundreds of strangely protruding arms quickly extended around, some blocking the sky, and some sinking into the ground, as if they were trying to form a cage to trap themselves inside and resist attacks from the outside world.

All this happened very quickly, but the speed of lightning was even faster. When the cage was about to be completed, several huge bolts of lightning poured in from the gaps that had not yet been connected, tearing the more than half-finished cage into pieces and exposing Suea's true form once again.

Countless silver electric lights wandered on the dark "tree trunk", causing great pain to Sua.

Then, He, who was more like a beast than a human, quickly passed all the pain to his subordinates, forcing them to help him bear the attacks of the Lord of Storms.

But how could these extraordinary beings, who were at most demigods, endure the power of true gods? The silver lightning that danced on Sua's body spread out and enveloped everyone.

In just a few breaths, there was no living person around Suea.

Treating subordinates and believers as consumables is nothing, and beating teammates is also commonplace. Sua didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, as long as He was alive, He could raise the banner of the Mother Tree of Desire again. There were many extremists in the southern continent who were willing to respond to His call.

After finally avoiding the fatal attack of the Lord of Storms, the revelation of the "Bound God" appeared in His mind again, making Him aware of the night and the breath of dreams that were about to touch His body. Knowing that the next wave of attacks was coming, Sua acted quickly, and the crack-like mouth on His body opened wide at the same time, emitting waves of strange and extremely painful roars.

There is another voice hidden in this roar, which is the "Bound God" controlled by the Mother Tree of Desire!
With the help of the Mother Tree of Desire, the duet of painful roars finally had some effect on the offensive of the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms. They shared their own madness and pain, making the surrounding night no longer light, the waves and storms became slow and heavy, and their tracks became clearly visible.

However, Suea was still a step too slow. The disaster that the Goddess of Night had spread out in advance took effect, and the dream successfully touched his body. The eyes on his torso closed one after another, and he fell into an irreversible sleep.

He tried his best to resist the secrets and tsunamis, but he could only watch helplessly as half of his body lost control.

If you really fall into the dream woven by the Goddess of Night, it will be impossible to wake up again!

Siea tried his best to stay awake, but the number of eyes he closed continued to increase.

In the blink of an eye, half of my eyes were pulled into the dream.

The dream world in Suea's eyes became clearer and clearer, almost becoming a reality. He saw a sky full of stars and countless flowers covering the ground.

A shadowy being stood between the sky and the earth, holding a crimson moon in his hands.

There were also two hands holding a huge crescent-shaped sickle, waiting to cut himself off.

Getting closer and closer, two-thirds of her eyes were closed, and the goddess of night slowly approached, the crimson moonlight on her sickle already clearly visible.

Right now.

The eye that was closed at first suddenly opened again.

The clearly black and white eyeballs rolled up and down, and the black eyeballs slowly turned into blue.

At the same time, Suea suddenly felt a cold breath appearing in his body, like a gust of snow wind blowing.

The second blue eye opened, and then more and more eyes opened.

Sua's confused thoughts suddenly disappeared without a trace. He strangely heard someone sneering in his ear, so he calmed down instantly, so calm that he didn't even feel a little nervous or afraid.

Then, the two-thirds of his eyes that were closed opened completely, and the dream world in Sua's eyes disappeared without a trace, and turned into dozens of intricate thin lines. It seemed as if he suddenly understood those lines and grasped one of them.

This thread of possibility represents "survival".

He chose this line without thinking, but shuddered afterward.

This line is placed so obviously, it looks like a trap!
It just said "survive", but didn't say how to "survive"!
As expected, his body suddenly moved on its own. A large part of his body was trapped in the unknown pollution, and his consciousness was forced into a corner, but Suea had no room to resist at the moment. Once he tried to use the power given to him by the "Bound God" and the Mother Tree of Desire to deal with the sudden emergence of consciousness, the slowly approaching thunderstorm, tsunami and secrets would instantly swallow him up.

The power in Sua's body suddenly became stronger, and hundreds of branch-like arms once again gathered towards him and rebuilt the cage.

This time, His movements were faster than one could imagine. The cage was completed in almost an instant. A huge wooden coffin, which seemed to be made of countless wooden strips entangled together, embraced Suea in the middle.

The coffin shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared from the eyes of the two gods.

In the ruins of a city dozens of kilometers away, a normal-sized coffin appeared out of nowhere and fell heavily to the ground from mid-air.

The coffin split open, and a creature similar to a human rolled out. It was all black, with black and blue eyes on parts of its body. At the same time, huge brown branches continued to grow out of its body, piercing those blue eyes. The pollution of the two Outer Gods fought each other, and the only carrier and medium, Suea, suffered the side effects of the power increase just now.

His consciousness was blurred by the pain, and he was unable to move due to the pollution. He could only struggle and twist in the ruins, mumbling to himself:

"Sacrifice..."

"Offer me... a sacrifice..."

He clearly felt that the cold breath had invaded his brain. After a long time, Suea was forced to rebuild the constraints of human form and hide himself behind this shell. While suppressing his indulgence in desires, he also suppressed the strange pollution in his body.

However, no matter how He tries to change His appearance, one of His eyes remains blue.

But that eye has no vision, or rather, the vision does not belong to Sua.

His skin and hair were affected by the pollution of another Outer God. His skin quickly lost its luster, and strange pale hair continued to grow, almost completely covering His normal brown-black hair.

"Sacrifice..."

All He could say was: "Give me more sacrifices... stabilize my condition..."

Brown branches appeared around him again, stringing Sua together and locking him up in layers of restraints.

The ruins of the Oravi naval base.

Klein had no idea what happened in the outside world during these few minutes. During this time, he walked around other places in the ruins but found nothing else.

So he took out the paper man, dealt with the traces at the scene, lifted the restrictions of the talisman, woke up the servants who still had vital signs, and the remaining guards were able to confirm their identities.

Klein took a few steps forward and came to where Cynthia disappeared. He bent down and picked up a necklace from the pile of torn clothes on the bed.

The necklace hung with a pendant as big as a finger joint. It was completely black and shaped like a shrunken rhino horn. Its surface was extremely dull and covered with numerous cracks. Apart from a slight sense of evil, it did not have any spiritual brilliance.

"Is this the dangerous item that caused Cynthia's mutation? Because it has connected to the existence that cannot be looked at directly, it has completed its mission and injected all its power into Cynthia's body?" Klein made a preliminary guess based on the condition of the pendant and his previous experience.

He began to look for someone who could do the job. Unfortunately, the secretary passed away first. Klein had no choice but to recall the previous file contents and find a more reliable person from the survivors of the guard.

Klein walked up to the black-haired guard and watched him with a serious expression until he noticed him.

"Your Excellency the Admiral!" Two seconds later, the guard suddenly realized that there was another person behind him, and immediately stood up and saluted in surprise.

As a superior, I have no obligation to explain... Klein looked down at him and said in a low voice:
"You must wake up all the slightly injured people here. Some of you should treat the rest, and some of you should immediately investigate the Celestial Cult on Oravi Island. They worship an evil god called the Mother Tree of Desire. Um... start with the people around Cynthia."

"I'm waiting for the report in the study."

The study is far away from the main door, but it is still there.

After saying this, he turned around and left, holding the broken, miniature rhino horn pendant, and entered the quiet study.

As the supreme commander of the Central Sonia Navy, he still has absolute authority on Oravi Island when facing his guards and subordinates, the local police system and members of the naval base. He does not need to conduct investigations on his own as he has plenty of manpower to arrange for them.

Demigods only need to be on guard against accidents and wait for news, without having to rush around!
In the study, Klein listened to the chaotic footsteps, terrified screams, inquiries, and conversations outside. The brilliant starry sky and the star that shone brightly appeared in his mind involuntarily.

“What does this symbolize?”

Klein frowned and sat down in the armchair behind the desk, his figure immersed in the darkness brought by the curtains.

He soon made some associations, because the myths and legends of the City of Silver and Emlyn White's description of the situation of the blood race made him confirm that the "Moon" path had some authority over "reproduction", which was consistent with Cynthia's intentions and performance.

As his thoughts raced, he suddenly thought of a concept.

A concept that often appears as an important content in the occult knowledge he has come into contact with, but has never been described or explained in detail!

That is, the "Star Realm"!
Except for a few organizations such as the School of Life that believe in niche knowledge such as the "absolute rational world", in most mysticism, the world is composed of "reality", "spiritual world" and "astral world".

Needless to say, "reality" and knowledge of the "spiritual world" are the basis of many ritual magic and extraordinary abilities. Only the "astral world" is basically blank in Klein's cognition.

"So, the illusory starry sky represents the 'Star Realm', and the bright stars are certain beings in the 'Star Realm'? I have always suspected that the 'Star Realm' is the residence of the true God, so it is not impossible for this symbolic image to represent the 'original moon'..." Klein did not think about it any more. While recalling the details of the previous few days, he waited for the results of his subordinates' investigation.

Time passed minute by minute, and Klein finally heard footsteps coming up the stairs and approaching.

The black-haired officer knocked on the door and entered. He lowered his head and reported calmly:

"Your Excellency the Admiral, we have found the Celestial Cult and captured their leader."

"This is a clue provided by Miss Cynthia's parents."

"This sect has been quite active in Orawi in recent years. It aims at not wearing clothes, returning to nature, and indulging in nature. It believes that humans can achieve spiritual liberation in this state."

“Reproduction is a byproduct of that.”

After a pause, the black-haired officer added, "Their leader is a Beyonder, a Sequence 8 'Madman'."

"Madman"? "Madman" from the "prisoner" path? Related to the Rose School? Well, there are two factions within the Rose School: "moderation" and "indulgence". The latter's philosophy is quite consistent with the situation at the scene... Klein was shocked, but he remained calm and said:

"Bring him here."

After saying this, Klein unexpectedly felt that some of the constraints on him disappeared.

Klein was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.

——The contract between him and Admiral Amyrius suddenly ended just now.

Okay, double update success.

I happened to see a comment saying that the protagonist of this book is an enemy of the world, and it made me laugh to death... Decline: I pissed off all of you.

Another funny comment said that Edward was just a demon, and he cannot be considered a demon. (Judging the demon by the method rather than the deeds, fundamentalist demon)
