Chapter 836 The show begins

While Da Chun was having a late-night snack, he watched the entire live stream to see what was happening at the astrology shop in Black Iron City.

The latest development is that the four city beauties and Raphael came out of the astrology shop and headed straight for the teleportation array in the square.

At that moment, the players waiting outside were amazed, especially from the perspective of the live stream camera. Raphael was surrounded and guarded by four beauties in the center position. The live stream chat was filled with "One Emperor and Four Empresses". Da Chun was so angry that he was furious!
So, is it because the CEO's plan was too lenient, and my alt account didn't wreak havoc in Gem City enough?
Then came a live broadcast from Gem City, showing the group of five heading straight to the church.

Ordinary players could just watch the show, while Da Chun was guessing what the intentions were. He figured the mermaid was probably going to come to Gem City and stage a skirmish with his alt account, but she needed to get permission from the Gem City Church first, right? Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if she was reported as soon as she arrived, just like she did in Oak and Bronze City before.

Well, although Da Chun was furious, he still hoped that Raphael could get things done.

Looking at the time, Xiao Hao had about twenty minutes left to finish his rest, leaving him with very little time to get things done.

……

At this moment, in the Ten Elders chat group.

Raphael was so angry that he cursed loudly.

Compared to his earlier triumphant appearance surrounded by flowers on the street, Raphael now appeared as humble as a roadside figure before the church bishop.

The church started to play the fair game at this point, and they disagreed! The four city beauties tried to persuade them, but to no avail. In fact, apart from Eve, the other three from the outer city were not allowed to enter the bishop's hall.

Moreover, Raphael's privileges are useless. The church is a group of bishops, and all the bishops must agree. Even if Raphael has so many privilege points to deal with them one by one, there won't be enough time! Some bishops are eating, some are resting, some are meditating or going to the toilet... These things need to be notified at least a day in advance.

Raphael felt a deep sense of defeat and dared not look Eve in the eye, let alone face the three people who came to support him.

However, it wasn't all for naught. When Marquis Guaido questioned them, they could claim that the church had blocked the mermaid's actions.

12 points.

The mermaid at the astrology shop glanced at her watch: "There's not enough time. It seems the Gem Sage won't be able to bring the invitation in time."

In Sariel's view, this was the Church joining forces against his precious child, deliberately obstructing the approval process and revealing their hostility. He said directly, "Your Majesty, since the Jewel Church does not welcome us, then we will not go."

The mermaid stood up and laughed, "I don't care if they welcome me or not. I want to test the divine magic. I'm leaving right away."

Sariel was shocked!
The old woman in silver standing nearby also became anxious: "Your Majesty, I want to go with you. I want to witness your divine magic with my own eyes!"

Sariel grew impatient: "Old woman, you have trouble even walking—"

The mermaid laughed and said, "Of course, absolutely! It's hard for me to guarantee success alone. How about the five of you go together? I'll pay for the round-trip teleportation."

The four elderly women immediately stood up excitedly: "It's such an honor!"

Sariel was practically going crazy: "Your Majesty, they're all old women!"

With a wave of her hand, the mermaid created a water sphere beneath the feet of the five old women and Sariel: "There's no need to walk at all!"

The five elderly women exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty, we worship you!"

The mermaid laughed loudly: "Let's go!"

The group emerged as if gliding through water, astonishing the players outside once again.

The old woman in black exclaimed, "Sir, I haven't locked the door yet..."

……

At this moment, Da Chun, who was watching the live broadcast, was also shocked. Was this mermaid going to force her way into Gem City without permission?

But this mermaid is actually accompanied by five elderly astrological women—are they trying to form a charlatan group? Excellent, that makes it more believable. The live stream switches to the perspective of Gem City, where Raphael and the four city beauties have already teleported to the plaza teleportation array and are waiting.

It seems Raphael really didn't get things done. Is this a rare discovery that the Ten Elders aren't omnipotent? Well, the Ten Elders may not be omnipotent, but when it comes to the desert, they have to hold their own.

The next moment, the mermaids and their companions appeared at the Gem City Teleportation Plaza.

As expected, the voice of the guardian deity of Gem City resounded throughout the entire city: "Lady Helen of the Silver Throne—"

The mermaid interrupted impatiently, "I know, I'll go outside the city. You're welcome!"

The Gem Guardian seemed somewhat unconvinced: "I would like to accompany Lady Helen on her journey as a form of hospitality."

As soon as the church bell rang, a faint golden angel appeared before the group.

The entire live stream chat erupted in an uproar: "This is the Guardian!"

Da Chun was nervous. This was actually just an avatar of the guardian deity, but it was still quite troublesome. Could his alternate account still put on a show?

Without further ado, the mermaid said, "Let's go."

The mermaid led the five old women straight towards the river mouth, instantly disappearing from the live stream camera's view. At the same time, the four city beauties and the twenty guardian deities also took to the air and flew out of the city.

Da Chun felt a chill run down his spine. Although he could act with the mermaid, there were so many city beauties, a guardian angel clone, and two Ten Elders...

Okay, as long as I fly fast, it makes no difference whether one person chases me or a group of people chase me. The biggest advantage is that they are all witnesses to the mermaid's "divine prediction."

Da Chun switched to the smaller account to start calculating the time.

Da Chun knew the mermaid's speed. Although she couldn't teleport, she could use tidal forces to shrink space as long as she was in the water, making her no slower than flying. This was actually the same route she had taken last time, piloting a water elemental upstream along the inland river towards the North Pole. If she was caught off guard, she could simply run to the North Pole, where Xiao Mei and the water elemental Hydrasis could still contact each other.

……

At this moment, the water spheres beneath the feet of the five elders and the mermaids merged into one, and a surging sound, similar to the tidal waves, roared like a steam turbine. The map began to zoom in section by section, and in less than a minute, the group arrived outside the first ring village of Gem City along the inner river.

This speed was beyond Sariel's imagination.

At first, the Flower Guardians of Raphael followed by flying, but later they could no longer keep up even with flying and had to use long-distance spatial teleportation to catch up.

Ten minutes later, the mermaids began to come ashore, wrapped in water balloons, and headed straight for a hilly area on the shore.

The guardian asked, "Is this the place?"

The mermaid said with utmost seriousness, "My inspiration is gathered here, and it will officially begin at 12:30!"

……

Time ticked by, second by second...

Finally, it's break time!

—System notification: You have completed the 21st rest mission. Your status has been restored. The rest area has begun self-destruction. The 21st mission will begin immediately. Mission objective…

As the magic crystal screen emitted its teleportation light once more, the equipment and supplies throughout the cave began to self-destruct and burn fiercely. Then, the space shifted, and Da Chun suddenly felt the screen freeze and a red light explode!
—System notification: Warning! Your spatial teleportation has encountered interference from powerful spatial turbulence. Your Divine Craftsman-level Anti-Spatial Technique has provided some resistance to the interference…

coming!
