In the wide plaza in front of Windsor Palace, more than ten steel warhorses clad in armor were currently dragging a giant silver metal cube, stopped outside the palace gardens.
The metal cube looked extremely heavy. Under the giant iron plate, which held it and was nearly ten meters wide, several sets of rollers, like steamrollers, were arranged in rows. The cobblestone pavement crushed by the rollers was all already pulverized, exposing the hard soil underneath.
In front of this eye-catching convoy, a dilapidated silver armor wearing a dark green cloak stood before the iron railing at the garden entrance.
She simply slowly raised her right hand. The iron railings before her began to gradually heat up. After just 1 second, they directly burned to a red-hot color, melting into liquid that flowed onto the ground. The surrounding flowers and grass were scorched and withered by the hot molten iron, catching fire.
Without the obstruction of the iron railings, the green-cloaked knight walked into the palace. The convoy behind her also followed her.
The convoy, like a steel torrent, rolled into the garden, finally stopping at the entrance of the main hall as the green-cloaked knight raised her hand.
A black canopy enveloped the entire palace. Instantly, the passersby who had been watching and exclaiming earlier behaved as if they had seen nothing happening inside the palace. They just looked at each other in confusion, then continued doing their own things.
“I didn’t expect there would be a day when we would cooperate.”
Eleanor simply let out a hoarse laugh, not replying to Erigma’s words.
“Then let’s hurry… That esteemed individual is still waiting.”
Pope Erigma also had no intention of continuing the conversation. She looked at the hunched figure who walked out from the side door.
“Lafayette, have you also joined the cooperation?”
Erigma looked at Lafayette, seeming a little surprised.
Lafayette looked at Pope Erigma through her goggles and let out a somewhat sinister, eerie chuckle, “Heh heh heh… Your speculation can be a bit bolder… This way.”
Lafayette turned and left. Erigma followed directly.
Going downstairs, passing through a not-so-long underground corridor, Lafayette and Erigma stopped in front of an ancient wooden door.
The wooden door was slowly pushed open by Lafayette, revealing the spacious area inside… and Forte and Windsor placed on operating tables.
At this moment, Windsor’s entire head had been opened. A piece of her frontal lobe seemed to have been excised. Her condition was unknown, whether alive or dead.
And on the other side, on Forte’s forehead, a piece of dark green brain was attached. A large number of fine threads, like spiderwebs or mycelium, were entwined in his hair and scalp, seemingly piercing directly into his brain.
This scene was not unfamiliar to Erigma.
Erigma shook her head. She walked directly to Forte, who was lying down. She raised her hand, and a silver long spear forged from steel materialized in her hand.
With almost no hesitation, the moment the long spear materialized, Erigma immediately raised the long spear and fiercely stabbed it towards Forte’s heart.
The moment the long spear stabbed towards Forte, the spiritual alarm in Forte’s mind, which had already fallen into a deep coma, suddenly blared. His previously silent mind was also activated at this moment. He fiercely opened his eyes. At this moment, the blood vessels in the whites of his eyes were completely dark green.
The giant long spear directly pierced into Forte’s chest. The barb of the spear emerged from inside, firmly hooking Forte’s internal organs and flesh.
If one wanted to forcibly pull out the long spear, it would definitely pull out a large portion of his internal organs and flesh… Even for a Tier 4 transcendent whose physical condition was different from ordinary people, death would only be a matter of time.
The severe pain made Forte’s fingers twitch slightly. The effect of the drug was rapidly disappearing. He was slowly regaining control of his body.
Forte spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
Erigma slowly lifted the long spear. She raised her arm and held the spear shaft under her armpit, directly hoisting Forte’s entire body up.
She held Forte up like a flag, walking towards the outside.
At this moment, Forte’s vision was already blurry, but his expression still seemed somewhat incredulous.
Forte’s body swayed slightly with Erigma’s steps. His gaze passed over Erigma and fell on Lafayette behind her.
Forte coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Erigma walked step by step down the stairs to the ground, walking towards the outside of the palace. Only when she reached the outside did Forte notice the sky obscured by the black canopy.
“Church of the Savior Goddess… Church of the God of Order…”
“Redemption Society… Society of Merriment… Pharos Medical Association…”
Who exactly is targeting me? It’s as if, in an instant, every organization is causing me trouble.
Behind Forte, where he couldn’t see, the giant iron block facing Erigma began to emit scorching light. The giant iron block began to melt little by little.
The heat waves completely dried up the surrounding grass, which then burned. The previously beautiful garden turned into a burning wasteland in just a few seconds.
It seemed that something was hidden within the core area of that giant iron block.
“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending the wrong person,”
Erigma straightened the long spear and changed her grip, as if throwing a javelin. She leaned back slightly. “Forte.”
Forte weakly lifted his eyelids and looked at Erigma before him. “You’re out of the game too…”
Erigma raised the long spear and fiercely swung it forward. The spear, having left her hand, emitted a sharp burst of sound, directly carrying Forte and blasting him towards the core that had melted from the iron—into that Other Side node.
Instantly, the long spear, along with Forte, was plunged headfirst into the bloody Other Side portal. Then, the molten iron quickly gathered again, sealing the Other Side node, which had only emitted its aura for a few seconds, back inside.
Meanwhile, Ciel, who had already returned home, slowly raised her head.
In her mind, a red point of light flickered. Within the point of light was a blurry object in the shape of armor.
A metallic buzzing sound echoed in Ciel’s mind.
“Have Little Left gnaw off his finger.”
Ciel directly issued the command to the red light in her mind.
After about half a minute, the red light flickered again.
Ciel took a deep breath. She opened the system’s simulation interface and looked at the time displayed on it.
Because it was past the time of the previous Future Days simulation, the times for both Future Days and Past Days simulations had been completely refreshed.
【Future Days: 7 Days (Holy Year 741, July 27th, 2:00 PM) (Cost: 10 Fate Points)】
【Past Days: 4 Days (Holy Year 741, July 16th, 6:00 PM) (Cost: 10 Fate Points)】
