He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

hum!

The crystal ball trembled again, and the endless splits and shimmering light and shadows vanished rapidly, merging into one.

Unsurprisingly.

Gemstone Elder nodded. He flicked his fingers, and through the second method, he fully understood that the so-called obstruction of observation was simply because a breakthrough point had not been found.

Once a breakthrough is found, many things become easy. And the breakthrough point that Gemstone Elder found was...

"Hmm? The altitude is mid-air, the top floor of a hotel building?"

"I see, this location..."

“‘Down is like up, up is like down’ ‘Ascending from the earth to the sky, and descending from the sky again’.”

"By extracting and replacing concepts, specifically, by substituting the concept of the rooftop being close to the sky with the concept of the earth symbolized by the ley lines, can such a location become a node of the ley lines?"

The person who set up this ley line node seems to have intentionally left a loophole here, probably to facilitate their own movement in and out while maintaining the lockdown of this snowfield city.

That guy is no longer here.

This actually benefited the Gemstone Elder.

The image that was finally revealed when the Gemstone Elder removed the crystal ball was inside.

It was as if he were physically present, standing within it—the spacious corridors inside Crystal Hill, the sense of ruin and desolation from the war washing over him.

The view slowly moved downwards along the high-rise staircase, leaving the area of ​​the ley line node, and soon arrived outdoors.

"This is......"

Gemstone Elder was jolted awake. From this scene, he sensed 'otherworldly laws' that were completely different from the modern world outside!

"The entire Snowfield City is undergoing a complete transformation of its legal environment...!"

"Could this be... the Beast Domain?"

"Wait, it also has some characteristics of a divine realm? But that doesn't quite add up..."

The old man was speechless with astonishment.

Who on earth is causing all this trouble? The laws have been stitched together into this monstrosity.

In addition, Da Yuan is also unusually active, and the magic flowing in the air is so strong that just a tiny bit inhaled into the chest is enough to poison and kill a modern person.

Fortunately, in this snowy city, at first glance, there are almost no humans left in the conventional sense. They seem completely unfazed by this god-like magical environment.

"Moreover, the traces of divine aura have increased significantly, even more than the last time they were observed."

"It seems that a lot of big things have happened in between."

"And all these beings are gathered in one place..."

"Is it a temple in the center of the city? Judging from the remaining aura and its appearance, is it a temple of a chief god, or perhaps the Norse god Odin!?"

The more Gemstone Elder looked at it, the more solemn his expression became.

Even without using magic to observe the details of the timeline, the sheer concentration of this unusual power is enough to give us a glimpse into its nature.

Since most deities are highly self-aware and do not behave themselves, the fact that they could bring together this group of problematic individuals, unite them as one, and prevent any chaos was, in his view, a miracle that surpassed even the Holy Grail.

"Let's observe the location where the divine energy is most intense first; that seems to be where Servants and gods gather..."

"Let's see what they're doing first."

"Hmm?... It sounds like someone is reciting a poem?"

This...this isn't right.

In broad daylight, a group of top-tier individuals were reciting a text together? He was starting to wonder, what kind of extraordinary text could this be...?

The Gem Elder manipulated his vision, and under the observation of the second method, instantly located the pages of manuscript that had been turned beside the group of people—

"?"

Is he getting old and his eyesight is failing?

What does it mean that Odin is manipulating the Clock Tower from behind?

Also, what do you mean by saying that King Solomon, the founder of the Clock Tower, was Odin's puppet?

Are the Seventy-Two Demon Lords dragons sent by Odin? Do the Grand Order and the Magician class also originate from Odin?

Judging from their serious expressions, are they really taking this whole piece of absurd text seriously?!

My vision is trembling.

Gemstone Elder felt that even with his agile and energetic Dead Apostle body, he almost felt so shocked by this fact that he was about to suffer from high blood pressure and a stroke.

The clock tower he helped build has been distorted by some, who claim it has become a stepping stone for others.

Everyone in the Clock Tower, including him, were Odin's followers, subordinates, and lackeys! Absurd and laughable—

No, no.

Don't let anger cloud your judgment.

Looking back on my initial decision to come and explore this dangerous place, my biggest goal was—

So, what exactly is the source of that sense of crisis that can be felt even while inside the Clock Tower...?

"How dare you! Who's spying on us here!"

On one side of the main hall, Ai Lei suddenly looked up.

"!"

In a panic, the Gemstone Elder withdrew from sight.

Soon, they turned their attention elsewhere.

He had to find the source of that unusual sense of crisis.

He didn't believe that such a strange "clock tower anecdote" could lead to such a serious crisis.

We can't just read this and expect the Servants and gods to immediately believe it and attack the Clock Tower with the attitude of eliminating our mortal enemy!

That wouldn't just be abnormal, it would be utter madness! Foolish! Incomprehensible!

Gemstone Onzelridge's gaze wandered along the edge of the block, and soon, another large-scale energy reaction caught his attention.

At that location, he first saw a man walking through the streets and alleys ahead, followed closely by two women... Huh? What's that Chaldea duo?

Suddenly, the man leading the way seemed to sense something.

Stop walking and turn around.

His eyes flashed, revealing a fierce and intimidating sharpness.

The old man was shocked.

Those eyes, without a doubt...

It was a cold and resolute gaze, as if facing a mortal enemy!

The opponent's magical wavelengths, divine and bestial, are strangely intertwined and fused together...

It is even closely connected to this entire 'Beast Realm/Divine Realm'!

This person is very likely the starting point of all the anomalies!

"You lot, you still haven't given up your wicked intentions...!"

Lu Ming uttered the words.

"—You bastard, are you looking at me, Odin's lackey!?"

The Gemstone Elder was shocked. With a flick of his wrist, the crystal ball fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

He wasn't surprised that Lu Ming had discovered him.

Rather, it was because the other party's tone of voice revealed intense hatred, ferocity, and a strong aggressiveness.

Combined with the sense of crisis I had felt earlier...

So, the other side wants to lead that huge group of Servant Gods to completely raze the Clock Tower!?

......

Just moments before, Lu Ming was busy carrying out a "major purge".

This is not the liquidation that Ishtar understands.

Rather, it refers to the literal meaning of cleaning up filthy and dirty areas within the city.

After all, as Hier had previously emphasized, this area itself was tainted by highly toxic substances, and even ordinary people who just entered the area would be contaminated.

Having already taken over Xueyuan City and bearing a heavy responsibility with a strong sense of ownership, how could Lu Ming possibly tolerate the people who came here bearing such risks?

So, without stopping, he chose to do it himself.

Lu Ming first arranged for experienced church members, such as Hier, to mark the surrounding four areas as "areas to be cleaned" according to the degree of contamination.

Then he went over and cleaned them one by one.

How can such highly toxic pollution be effectively cleaned?

This is related to the little trick that Lu Ming gained after successfully devouring Tiamat.

"Open the door, the community is here to offer warmth! Free cleaning!"

Upon arriving at the marked location, Lu Ming politely knocked on the door.

After all, trespassing is wrong. As a new-era fighter resisting Odin's evil forces, he should also maintain noble virtues, which would further distinguish him from the evil Odin has displayed.

"What? Free!?"

The moment the word "free" was heard, the American people seemed to trigger the underlying code for zero-yuan purchases.

The newly renovated house was opened, and a large group of people, men, women, and children, rushed out.

In fact, these newly built houses were all specially constructed by Lu Ming and his group using materials.

The principle is actually the same as building city walls on the front lines. Provide the materials and control the central hub, and the buildings will generate themselves, resembling a complete "living" city.

Therefore, Lu Ming added an extra task to Ai Lei's logistics work: to provide housing for all displaced residents.

Nevertheless, moving into these houses comes at a price: people have to sell their labor for a period of time afterward—essentially placing a debt on the people and making them take on jobs to repay the "mortgage."

The loan amount is not high; it is only to ensure that the cost of building materials is recovered and that there are no issues with the fairness of the distribution.

"My lord!? Why would you need to come personally for such a matter—"

The public was stunned the moment they saw Lu Ming's face. The top leader personally acting as a cleaner? Was this just a political stunt?

"You've misunderstood. This matter really can't be left to me."

Lu Ming waved his hand.

Black, flowing light appeared out of nowhere.

Everyone felt as if they had been plunged headlong into a vortex of black mud.

However, I didn't feel uncomfortable or nauseous at all.

Instead, it evokes a warm and comforting feeling of returning to one's mother's embrace.

He even considered giving up on himself and becoming addicted...

But before they could enjoy it to their heart's content, they quickly broke free from this state.

"Alright, 'cleaning' is complete."

Looking at the numerous people before him, whose bloodline pollution had been removed at the genetic level, and the vibrant land around them, Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

The Sea of ​​Life that Tiamat brought is really useful.

It's like a mobile, massive biological database, providing the genetic blueprint for the evolution of all life, capable of factor-editing any existence that has been touched by the sea of ​​life.

This is the true essence of the ocean and water; it is a symbol of the source of life.

In this way, there are no hidden dangers, and the bloodlines of these people become stable and less prone to going berserk. In fact, the upper limit of bloodline evolution is raised.

"Next, the areas that need cleaning are..."

"that......"
