The light gathered by the black insect swarm collided with the transparent amber that enveloped the "Future", and a teeth-grinding sound rang out. The transparent barrier shook but did not shatter.
This was the Beyonder ability, Starlight Cage, of a Sequence 5 Constellations Master, which could completely encase a target, restricting it to its original position, and could also be used to protect oneself by changing the approach.
Cattleya just breathed a sigh of relief. With a moment to catch her breath, she immediately began to order the preparation for activating the huge ritual magic on the hull of the "Future", preparing to escape.
The symbolic patterns and magical markings on the bulkheads, deck, and mast of the "Future" lit up in distinct layers, like a vast, sparkling sea of stars on a moonless night.
Suddenly, a sharp, malevolent laugh came from an unknown distance, enveloping the entire "Future".
"Hahahaha!
"Hahahaha!"
The laughter echoed continuously, at times hoarse, at times chaotic, at times like a murmur, at times like singing, and it was still piercing even through the Starlight Cage.
One after another, the Sailors on the deck fell to the ground, desperately covering their ears, yet still twisting and struggling in pain.
Some Beyonders began to grow fish scales on their bodies, while some Sailors' faces distorted and suddenly turned into shaggy-haired goats, revealing human-like terror.
Sharron was also affected, feeling her mind suddenly filled with all sorts of thoughts—good, bad, bright, and dark.
They were extremely chaotic and, combined with the constantly changing laughter, created a swelling sensation as if her head was about to explode.
These chaotic and jumbled thoughts directly interrupted Sharron's prayers and also interrupted Cattleya's attempt to escape using the ritual magic Starlight Leap.
Cattleya groaned, a pained expression on her face.
Sharron's delicate face, usually lacking in expression, subtly distorted, and suppressed malice continuously surged from her pupils. Barely visible flesh buds stirred beneath her skin.
-----------------
In the suburbs of Backlund, at the East Tucker family's manor.
A group of people was ready to depart, including members of the Fourth Investigation Team and the East Tucker family's guard squad. Aaron stood at the front of the team, about to speak, when he suddenly heard an urgent prayer.
The voice was wavering and unusually urgent, extremely recognizable. Aaron immediately recognized it as Sharron's prayer.
Aaron pondered for a moment, abandoning the idea of personally participating in this capture.
Looking at Solo-Bent beside him, he handed the capture mission to him. With a Sequence 5 Mentor of Disorder overseeing it, there should be no mistakes.
After briefly explaining the mission, Aaron walked into the manor. After warning the servants not to disturb him, Aaron closed the Door and skillfully set up a ritual to ascend above the dark gold mist.
Passing through layers of dark gold mist, Aaron had just sat on the throne when Sharron's prayer abruptly stopped, as if forcibly interrupted.
Aaron frowned slightly, but the generated prayer light did not immediately disappear. His spirituality probed, and Aaron saw the ship under attack. By comparing it with the wanted poster in his memory, Aaron quickly recognized it as "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya's "Future".
"It's under attack. This method looks like the Rose School of Thought's style..." Just as Aaron was still contemplating, a sudden change occurred.
Around the "Future", peach blossoms instantly fell, vibrant and colorful.
The sharp, malevolent laughter seemed to instantly move away, blocked by a luxuriant peach forest filled with blooming flowers, and cut off by the mountains at the end of the water source in the forest, only attempting to surge out from a small cave.
Mystical Reenactment created the "Peach Blossom Source!"
It could create a barrier isolated from the outside world, making it difficult to connect.
Sharron momentarily dazed, then recovered her senses and immediately continued her soft prayers.
Cattleya's gaze was somewhat fixed, completely ignoring her injuries, as she looked at the figure outside the barrier.
Outside the barrier, Bernadette, wearing a black, old-fashioned soft hat, emerged, surrounded by clusters of pea vines that grew out of thin air.
Her chestnut hair fell naturally, her eyebrows were long and straight, and her eyes seemed to condense a vast blue ocean.
The black insect swarm that had surrounded the "Future" was crushed by a thick pea vine, turning into black smoke and dissipating with wails.
Ripples appeared in the void not far in front of Bernadette, and Mahmosi's figure emerged. His brown eyes, filled with malice and madness, swept over Bernadette. He raised his right hand and pulled at his mouth.
The golden nails piercing his upper and lower lips simultaneously sprang off, no longer sealing his mouth.
Mahmosi then opened his mouth.
Aaron, through the special perspective of the spiritual light spot, heard no sound, but saw masses of shadows flying out of Mahmosi's mouth, seemingly wanting to surge towards Bernadette.
The huge pea vines that had been hanging down suddenly distorted as if melting. In just a blink of an eye, they turned into sheep with dull eyes and messy fur!
This was the Transformation Curse of a Sequence 3 Disicple of Silence, which could turn a target into another creature, and after transformation, they would temporarily "lose" most of their traits and Beyonder abilities for a certain period.
However, that invisible Transformation Curse fell upon Bernadette, but only distorted her shadow, failing to harm the Clairvoyant.
At this moment, Bernadette was like "The Emperor's New Clothes", something that simply did not exist, so naturally, she would not be harmed!
The next second, Bernadette, wearing a black, old-fashioned soft hat, suddenly became transparent and turned into a pile of foam. These foams quickly dispersed, surging towards Mahmosi.
Seeing that the attack was fruitless, Mahmosi decisively took out a scepter from his Pregnant, its surface covered with dark patterns and its tip dark blue, almost black. The scepter exuded a tyrannical, evil aura.
This was the Rose School of Thought's Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, the "Scepter of Calamity". This was a powerful weapon temporarily granted to him by another angel of the Rose School of Thought, 'King of Curses' Barranca.
It was originally intended to prevent the councilor from the Life School of Thought from escaping by sea, as the Prisoner Pathway's strength at sea was far inferior to the Sailor Pathway's.
The gem at the top of the scepter lit up. Violent wind collided with the air, creating an explosive sound, and a terrifying hurricane, visible to the naked eye, appeared, swirling and intertwining.
The air currents rapidly spun in circles, and an unrestrained tornado suddenly rose from the ground, instantly tearing apart the foam that Bernadette had turned into. Its momentum unabated, it headed straight for the Future, which was within the "Peach Blossom Source".
Aaron raised his hand to summon the Black Emperor card and integrate it into his body. After advancing to Sequence 6 Judge, he clearly felt that he could mobilize more power from the Nation of Disorder.
As the dark gold mist continuously merged into his body, the golden patterns symbolizing divinity on his body shimmered slightly. Aaron retrieved the "Scepter of Sun Chasing" from the pile of sundries and poured his spirituality into it frantically.
The "Scepter of Sun Chasing" accumulated brilliant light, condensing into a spear that was pure to the extreme, blazing white to the extreme, seemingly composed of pure sunlight.
