Chapter 409: Chapter 285: Each With Their Own Agenda, a Newborn Calf Fears No Tiger (Part 2)

"What are you staring at?! Hurry and organize the civilian evacuation! Designate the area where the phenomenon appeared as a restricted zone for now, and allow no military action anywhere near it!"

the mayor shouted.

"Oh, God, please send an Angel to save us, your poor, faithful followers,"

the mayor muttered to himself.

The higher-ups in countries around the world received detailed reports from Constantinople in record time. It was the first time in many years that so many Ancient Ones had displayed their powers so openly, and the effect plunged the nations into an even deeper state of panic and dread.

These beings had no attachments and abided by no modern moral code, yet they possessed terrifying power comparable to walking nuclear weapons. If they were to go on a rampage, it would be a catastrophe for all of humankind.

「Inside Constantinople.」

Most of the phenomena generated by the Illuminati’s powerful members were converging to surround a single location.

That was the location of Secret Technique Heaven and his people.

At that moment, on a wide street, vehicles were stopped haphazardly, but not a single person could be seen. A deathly silence hung in the air.

The members of Secret Technique Heaven came to a sudden halt, advancing no further.

They could sense terrifying presences surrounding them, and an even more immense presence was slowly approaching from directly ahead.

BOOM!!

In that instant, the earth seemed to split apart. A searing red light, like erupting magma, surged from beneath the ground and shot toward the Sky as if carrying the wrath of the Deities.

Under the influence of this red light, everyone’s blood began to race, and their tempers flared. It felt as if an irrepressible rage was boiling within them.

Atop a double-decker bus parked on the street, a figure slowly approached.

He wore a well-fitted tuxedo, his physique as powerful as a lion’s, his features as handsome as a deity’s.

His expression was composed, his bearing classical and elegant, but his eyes seemed to burn with an inner fire.

"Mister Destruction Heaven, and all of you from Secret Technique Heaven, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The man gave a gentlemanly bow to the members of Secret Technique Heaven, looking down on them from his high perch.

"The Illuminati’s Duke of Destruction."

Destruction Heaven said coldly. At the same time, figures emerged on the rooftops of the surrounding high-rises and at the entrances to the alleys. The phenomena in the Sky converged, and a storm materialized out of thin air on the street below.

A battle was imminent.

「Elsewhere.」

The members of the Abyss Court also came to an abrupt halt. At some point, the Sky above them had become completely obscured by a hexagram. A body of pure light floated in midair, gazing down upon them.

"Everyone, why don’t you rest here for a while?"

A magnificent voice boomed in their ears as dense, purple Spells erupted from the ground. They crept up the surrounding buildings like vines, forming a cage that locked the members of the Abyss Court inside.

"The Illuminati’s Star Curse Master,"

the mysterious cloaked figure said coldly.

Elsewhere, the party from the Five Divine Sealing Veins had also stopped. Countless wisps of scarlet smoke coalesced into a giant rose, and the source of this rose had already appeared before them.

It was an effeminate man dressed in casual clothes, yet he still possessed a magnificence like that of a flower. He had long, flowing golden hair, and his skin was as fine and smooth as jade.

"Everyone, until things over there are finished, why don’t you stay here and admire the flowers with me?"

the man said with a smile.

"One of the Illuminati’s Four Knights... the Rose Knight?"

...

A battle that would shock the world had begun within Constantinople. Meanwhile, on the sea not far from the city, several figures were rapidly approaching. The city’s silhouette had just appeared on their horizon.

"We’re almost there. Looks like we made it in time. It seems things are getting pretty lively over there."

Yi Beidou said with a smile.
