Immense power, accompanied by an extremely evil and utterly insane aura, rapidly permeated the surroundings, causing everything to crack and the two tightly closed Summoning Gates to split open with a gap.
Several streams of blood-red and dark-red light instantly merged into the colossal arm, which was oozing with an evil liquid, swiftly annihilating the grotesque objects growing from the dark, viscous fluid, then transforming into crimson shackles that pulled apart the arm of the Abomination, Suah.
As the gap between the two Summoning Gates formed, as if pushed by an enormous force from behind, several streams of light of varying colors and complex auras forcefully surged out from the other side of the gate, transforming into shooting stars that scattered and fell.
Leyton, who had been observing the situation, instantly flickered, relying on the keen intuition of a Clairvoyant, he locked onto the trajectory of a cerulean stream of light, his figure continuously flickering across the sky, appearing directly in front of the cerulean stream of light.
Brilliant starlight continuously emerged before him, swirling in layers, then instantly retracting, condensing into a solid mass.
Boom!
The immense impact force momentarily distorted Leyton's expression, and at the same time, he felt a subtle, extremely high-level mental pollution. This pollution could even affect him by distorting the starlight he created.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the Round Moon Duke's astrolabe, but stronger, approaching the level of a demigod, and carried a subtle yet strong corruption.
As thoughts flickered, Leyton extended more of his spirituality, and one by one, pale blue stars appeared around him, densely packed and dazzling.
The starlight continuously retracted, forming a constantly rotating and compressing mass of stardust in front of him.
Until all the peculiar power was contained, the continuously rotating stardust condensed into a transparent crystal ball the size of an adult's fist.
Inside the crystal ball, flecks of starlight occasionally floated by, as if with enough concentration and careful observation, one could see the brilliant cosmos hidden within.
In another direction, Pulak, who reacted almost simultaneously with Leyton, also intercepted a grayish-white stream of light.
He had originally intended to directly open the Underworld Gate within his body to capture this scattered stream of light, but as soon as this thought arose, his spirituality experienced a tremor, indescribable, but seemingly with a great impact on himself.
Out of caution, he directly communicated with the true Underworld, summoning a group of translucent phantoms. He manipulated these phantoms to construct a translucent wall in mid-air, floating with countless pale, distorted faces, with a dense aura of death solidifying into a thin mist, floating up and down the wall.
Boom! With a somewhat illusory crashing sound, the translucent wall rapidly shattered, then immediately retracted under Pulak's control, solidifying into a somewhat illusory translucent large net.
The intercepted grayish-white light struggled for a moment, then subsided as if unable to continue.
Pulak noticed that the grayish-white light was gradually fading, faintly showing a tendency to return to nature. He frowned slightly, tore off a button from his overcoat, and threw it into the translucent net.
The scattered grayish-white light seemed to find a reliance, rapidly converging into the bronze-colored button.
Not far from the now dissipated Summoning Gate, a beam of light composed of complex knowledge streaked across, directly enveloping and intercepting a stream of light.
Within the light formed by complex knowledge, Bernadette's figure rapidly reformed. In her right palm, there was a mass of mist the size of a baby's arm, continuously flowing and deforming.
The next moment, dense, brilliant starlight flickered forth, obscuring even the blood moon's radiance. The dazzling, flickering starlight outlined cold, indifferent eyes in the sky, and space itself seemed to distort at that moment.
The streams of light that had originally shot off into the distance drew strange arcs in the sky, like cars suddenly losing control and careening wildly on a muddy, steep mountain road.
Although the process was quite distorted, those streams of light seemed to carry a subtle and profound will, breaking through the blockade she had imposed and flying further away.
Seeing her obstruction was ineffective, Bernadette no longer continued to act. She frowned slightly, looking at the mass of mist she had imprisoned in her hand.
She felt a chaotic power from this mist, a chaos similar to but not entirely the same as the Black Emperor pathway, which inexplicably reminded her of the wishing lamp.
This is very similar to the aura I felt from the Genie when I made a wish to him. Is the Genie also not from this world?
As thoughts floated, she looked up at the still crimson blood moon, her gaze seemingly wanting to penetrate the sky and see the abstract astral world.
Before her gaze could glimpse the astral world, she shifted her sight, turning instead to look at the Abomination, Suah, and the Vampire 'Duke' who were pulling at each other in the distance.
One wanted to intercept a stream of light whose aura was very close to their own, while the other wanted to obstruct the first, and they began to pull at each other in the sky again.
A silvery-white stream of light, influenced by the Round Moon Duke and Suah, changed direction and fell towards the manor where the Primordial Moon Believers were gathered.
Bernadette gazed intently in that direction. She saw the River of Fate, almost solidified, manifesting there, as if a node of fate had appeared, converging countless tributaries of fate.
Is a high-level entity or Beyonder of the Fate pathway exerting influence there, a convergence effect? Does this also apply to things outside the twenty-two pathways?
As thoughts floated, Bernadette's figure once again transformed into a beam of light condensed from complex knowledge, surging towards the location of that manor.
In a corner of the manor where the Primordial Moon Believers gathered, Bugs Bunny, Brie, and Ritz were hiding together in a large tree it had transformed from vines, their eyes unblinking as they watched their surroundings.
Ritz's full-body mechanical device was already half-damaged. He lay on the greenish branch like a salted fish, muttering, "I can't move. This pile of iron is too heavy, and all the mechanical parts that could generate propulsion were broken by those Vampires."
Brie sat on a branch on the other side, elegantly licking his milky-white paws. Upon hearing Ritz's words, he glanced at him, saying calmly, "If you can't move, then take them off for now, otherwise, with your restricted movement, you'll be a living target."
"No! What if I can't find them again? Crafting these machines cost me a lot of materials."
Ritz pouted, somewhat reluctantly retorting.
His posture on the branch allowed him to look up at the sky, and then he saw a silvery-white meteor streaking across the sky, getting closer and closer to him.
"Wait, it looks like a meteor is falling!"
Ritz stood up from the branch in a panic, but due to the excessive weight on his body, he lost his balance and stumbled, falling from the branch.
"Wooooah~"
Thud!
A scream and the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground followed.
Brie, squatting on the branch, lightly leaped down. His landing point seemed to be off, as he stepped on Ritz who was lying on the ground, his foot slipped, and he fell directly onto Ritz.
"Mmmph..."
Bugs Bunny looked down at the two cats who had suddenly become unlucky, and somewhat hesitantly reached for the Die of Probability in his pocket. He suspected that he might have accidentally touched the dice while running earlier, causing the numbers on it to change.
The silvery-white meteor fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed, its silvery glow filling Bugs Bunny's vision.
There was no scorching heat or flames, no rumbling sound, it just appeared silently before him.
Bugs Bunny flusteredly waved the staff in his hand, trying to block the meteor hurtling towards him.
To his surprise, he did not feel the impact force that a meteor should have. The silvery light was as light as nothing, as if attracted by the staff in his hand, it quickly merged into it, twisting and stretching the staff's shape.
"Whoa!"
Bugs Bunny was stunned for a moment, accidentally stepping into the air, he fell directly to the ground, landing right on Brie who had just gotten up from Ritz.
Bang! Bugs Bunny, Brie, and Ritz piled up like a human pyramid.
"...Such bad luck!" Bugs Bunny shook his head, climbed off Brie, and with a push of his legs, landed on the ground beside them.
"Oof!"
"Ow!"
"My back is broken!"
"Stinky rabbit! You need to lose weight!"
Brie and Ritz felt as if they had been hit hard, their entire feline bodies felt dizzy, and for a moment they didn't even have the strength to get up from the ground.
Bugs Bunny patted himself all over with both paws, but didn't feel the presence of the Die of Probability. He frantically looked around, even lifting Brie and Ritz who were lying on the ground and shaking them twice, to confirm whether the Die of Probability had fallen on them.
"Mmph, let go..."
"My bones are broken, you fat rabbit, don't touch me!"
After Bugs Bunny threw him down, Ritz wobbled unsteadily for a moment before lying back down, grimacing and glaring angrily at Bugs Bunny.
Brie lay weakly on the ground, rubbing his belly. He felt his internal organs had shifted slightly under the heavy pressure just now. This rabbit's weight is abnormal... When I become an Alchemist in the future, I must transform myself into a mechanical cat. The body of a Mechanical Master is too fragile.
With two clatters, a dark brown baton and a milky-white dice fell from the tree one after another.
Brie looked at the objects that had fallen in front of him, and somewhat confusedly called out to Bugs Bunny:
"Hey, rabbit, are you looking for this dice?"
Bugs Bunny glanced over, and then shot over quickly, even leaving a slight afterimage behind him.
