Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 593-591: Divine Blessing Reincarnation (Two-in-One)

Second floor, study.

Loy and Miller sat facing each other.

Luo Yi poured the tea herself, added two sugar cubes, and then pushed it over.

"I remember you liked your black tea with sugar, and it had to be two pieces."

Miller took it, stirred it with a spoon for a moment, and then took a small sip. His tired expression eased somewhat.

"If I remember correctly, you hate adding sugar to black tea and prefer the sweet aftertaste after the bitterness."

Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other, finally dispelling the awkwardness of not seeing each other for so long.

Loy then asked, "How's things on the Empire's side? And what about the Petrovich family?"

Miller began, “The situation in the Empire remains as bad as ever. The new government is essentially just a continuation of the cabinet and doesn’t really do anything!”
They also couldn't solve the empire's livelihood problems, economic problems, employment problems, war reparations problems..."

"They can't solve anything. Some even suggested that since the coalition is demanding such high reparations, they should exchange the Kintil for paper money."

Then they issued large quantities of these banknotes to compensate the Allied forces.

"To be honest, when I heard this plan, I felt like my head was about to explode."

Is this treating the coalition forces like fools, or are they trying to ruin their own economy first?

"If we really did that, the damage would be immeasurable."

The problem is, this plan actually passed the new government?

Luo Yi remained silent for a moment, then asked again, "Are they really that short-sighted?"

This time, however, Miller shook his head and let out a long sigh: "It's not that they're short-sighted, but rather that given the situation, they simply had no choice."

He paused, then added, "As for the Petrovich family, they're gone!"

"Gone? What happened?" Luo Yi's expression turned serious.
Miller's smile became even more bitter: "What else could it be? Internal strife!"
Even in the current state of the empire, the internal strife has not only not slowed down, but has become even more intense.

The Petrovich family, however, was not an old noble family, lacking any established landholdings. When the emperor to whom I served perished, I became a pawn to be discarded.

"I don't even know who is targeting me, or whether I'm being besieged and divided up by the vested interests."

I want to retaliate, but I can't even find anyone to retaliate against. Or should I just treat the new government as the enemy?

At this point, his smile became even more bitter. He paused slightly before saying, "In any case, I have brought the rest of the Petrovich family."

"Luo Yi, from now on, I'll live off you."

"Ha ha!"

Luo Yi laughed heartily: "Miller, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you should have come a long time ago. You shouldn't have hesitated when I wrote the first letter."

“I have plenty of opportunities and a large enough platform for you to make your mark, and it will be enough for you to expand the Petrovich family.”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, the Herka world is really not that interesting anymore. Our stage should be the vast multiverse."

Moreover, the war between the Empire and the Allied Forces was far more complex than a simple struggle for hegemony.

The waters behind this are too deep, deep enough to affect the future of the entire Herka plane. It's a good thing that you can withdraw from the Empire now.

Miller paused, then suddenly looked up: "What do you mean? Roy, explain yourself clearly?"

"It's not that I don't want to say, but that I can't say."

"No, no, no, you can't avoid this, Loy. You mean there are people behind the Empire who want to harm this plane?"

Luo Yi paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and then said, "It seems you've guessed something?"

"What's specific?"

"Miller, we really can't say it, otherwise, it will attract the attention and punishment of some great beings."

As she said this, Luo Yi pointed to the sky, and Miller pressed, "Even you now can't talk?"

"The stronger you are, the more attention you will receive. Or, when Miller becomes a legend, I can tell you some of what I know."

"Does this have anything to do with your unwillingness to get involved in the war between the Empire and the Allied Forces?"

"Part of it. Of course, even without that, I don't care about wars within the plane. Infighting is no longer up to my level."

Miller, want to go take a look? I'll show you my demiplane and the Abyss Battlefield.

That's where we should be fighting.

Miller was somewhat stunned, or rather, he wasn't listening carefully to what Roy said, but instead fell into deep thought.

Seeing him like this, Luo Yi called out a few times, "Miller, Miller, what's wrong? Are you out of your mind?"

Miller snapped out of his reverie and said, "It's been a long journey, I'm a bit tired!"

"Let's rest first, and then we'll visit the site after we've rested."

As for the people you brought, I've already arranged for them to stay in the manor's guest rooms, so you can rest assured.

"Of course I trust your arrangements."

Miller stood up as he said this, but as he turned around, he seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped, saying, "By the way, since I've come to seek refuge with you, I should of course bring some gifts."

"Look at this. I got it from the palace, from His Majesty the Emperor. It's said to have the blessings of the seven gods."

As he spoke, he took a box out of his pocket and handed it over.

Luo Yi had no doubts and reached out to take it. Upon opening it, she was greeted by a rich aura of divine power.

Inside, a necklace rests quietly, made of white gold and mithril, with interlocking openwork carvings and inlaid with tiny gemstones of various colors.

Under the lights, it shone with dazzling brilliance.

The main diamond is a gemstone the size of a pigeon's egg, with countless facets cut into it, as if it could reflect countless human images.

Even more remarkably, Luo Yi clearly sensed that the seven divine powers flowed quietly, like intertwined rivers, constructing a tight yet complete cycle of divine power.

Even Luo Yi, who was used to seeing good things, couldn't help but glance at her at this moment.

"This is also a divine artifact, isn't it? A treasure blessed by the seven gods. Miller, you really dare to part with it."

As she spoke, Luo Yi reached out and slapped the item back, saying, "There's really no need to be so formal between us. Take the item back, or I'll get angry."

Miller hurriedly took it, but still handed it over, saying, "Loy, you don't need this necklace. You can give it to Lilia or Klein!"
The divine power contained within has a protective effect, ensuring their safety.

Besides, this thing is good, but it's just too good for me to keep. I might as well give it to you.

After hearing this, Luo Yi was finally moved.

He thought that giving it to Lilia would definitely make her happy; women, after all, love sparkly things.

So he took it again, opened it, and picked up the necklace, ready to examine it closely.

But at that very moment, the quietly flowing divine power suddenly erupted.

A seven-colored halo spread out, transforming into winding threads of divine power that suddenly bound Luo Yi on the spot.

This sudden change came too abruptly.

Or rather, even with Roy's keen senses, he never sensed anything amiss, and there was no malice from Miller either.

Everything was covered up so well, almost perfectly.

Kroy's reaction was also extremely fast. Her Divine Dragon Flame Battle Qi exploded as if electrocuted, and the fierce holy flame burned, even compressing and sublimating into flames.

Ripples appeared around Luo Yi's body, like the beating of a drum, accompanied by violent struggles.

At this moment, Luo Yi seemed to have countless layers of phantoms appearing, his muscles bulging and his fighting spirit raging, trying in various ways to break through the shackles of divine power.

The more he struggled, the tighter these divine threads became. Even Luo Yi's soul felt a fierce pull, as if it were trying to drag him into an unknown dimension.

In that endless void, seven terrifying figures seemed to stand tall and imposing, their gazes descending as if they were tangible, suppressing the fiercely resisting Luo Yi.

This is actually a projection of the Seven Gods.

They looked down at Loy with an air of superiority, as if they wanted to completely suppress him.

At this moment, Luo Yi was not yet completely sealed. He stiffly raised his head, his gaze passing through the threads of divine power as he looked at Miller.

Why? Tell me, why?

At this moment, his voice was incredibly hoarse, as if he were enduring excruciating pain, desperately questioning:

At that moment, Miller's face was ashen, his lips pressed tightly together, his hands clenched, and his eyes incredibly stubborn. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Loy, tell me, who killed my uncle, Dorji Petrovich?"

This question left Luo Yi stunned, and memories she had almost forgotten from long ago flooded her mind.

In that instant of hesitation, the divine power cocoon spread rapidly, about to completely engulf Luo Yi.

Kroy held her head high and said, "I killed your uncle, but I have no regrets!"

Before she finished speaking, Luo Yi was completely enveloped by divine power, leaving only a cocoon of seven-colored divine power on the spot.

However, Luo Yi's resistance did not end. The surging battle aura and magical fluctuations caused the cocoon of seven-colored divine power to continuously expand and shrink.

Miller was lost in thought, muttering, "Never regret it? No regrets! Hahahaha..."

If you don't regret it, then what about our friendship? What about friends?

"How absurd! Absurd!"

At that moment, Miller seemed to have gone mad, letting out a hysterical roar.

Such a big commotion eventually attracted the attention of the outside world.

Especially in the guest rooms of Lion Manor, Miller's group of people were completely agitated.

The leader yanked off his hood, revealing Dorji Petrovich's somewhat deranged face.

"It's done! It's done! Hahahaha, it's finally done!"

“I knew it. My nephew Miller wouldn’t let me down. Loy, Loy, he will be the sacrifice for my Lord’s resurrection.”

"Now is the time for us to make our move."

As he shouted, the demonic aura emanating from him could no longer be concealed.

Sharp horns sprouted from his head, abyssal fire roared and burned, and a pair of demonic wings extended from his back, his aura growing ever more powerful.

Those who followed him were clearly divided into two groups.

With a fanatical expression and surging dark magic, they quickly constructed a magic circle and placed offerings.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled out the dagger and plunged it into his own heart, sacrificing himself as a sacrifice.

As a result, the abyssal aura permeated the air, and a doorway even twisted and appeared in mid-air.
A pair of large, scale-covered hands reached out from within, forcefully splitting the space to the left and right, tearing out an even larger spatial rift.

Then, a fire demon stepped out from it, followed by even more demons, densely packed, seemingly endless in number.

Another group huddled together in a corner of the room, their expressions a mixture of disgust and terror.

This group consists of the true members of the Petrovich family. There are not many left, but they are all genuine people.

The demon Dorgi flapped its wings, hovered in mid-air, and let out its sharpest roar: "It's done! Hahahaha, it's done after all!"

"Everyone says that this Flower Lane is like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, and that it should not be messed with, but I think it's not that bad."

"Loy, Loy, the Raymond family should have been destroyed by my hand long ago."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

With his command, the Demon Gate swarmed out of the narrow room and scattered in all directions, killing anyone they saw, leaving a trail of blood in their wake.

Chaos begins!
Of course, Dorji led a group of powerful demons up to the second-floor study, and it seemed that they had actually protected Miller and the divine power cocoon.

The Flower Territory reacted much faster than Dorji had imagined; the mage tower issued an alert as soon as it detected the aura of divine power.
The tower spirit immediately notified the tower's master, Lilia Lightninger.

Thanks to the addition of the legendary lich His Majesty Cicero Griffith, all the mage towers have been given a live spirit, becoming the complete mage towers.

They are designed to monitor anomalies within their scope.

Lilia didn't know what was happening, but she didn't hesitate to trigger the alert, which immediately mobilized all the armed forces in Brussels.

In fact, Luo Yi was also afraid that while he was fighting in the abyss, someone would steal his lair.

Therefore, many contingency plans were prepared and distributed to every armed unit.

When the alarm sounded, the Lion Manor Guard, the black-clad swordsmen, the guard legion, as well as the fourth-tier Calamity and the legendary guardians all sprang into action.

At this moment, from the air, countless people were rushing towards the manor, only to collide with the surging demon army.

The two sides fought fiercely, turning this flower-filled center of power, this beautiful manor, into a battlefield and ruins.

For many years, Brussels had not seen such chaos. Shouts of killing spread, even leaving the long-peaceful citizens somewhat disoriented.

at the same time,

In an unknown dimension, Luo Yi's soul was completely pulled here.

The projections of seven deities stood in the four directions, their brows lowered, and an invisible yet immense pressure swept over Luo Yi, making her feel a suffocating terror.

At this moment, Luo Yi activated the divine combat skill—Heavenly Domain Divine Shield—without hesitation and constructed her own soul force field.

Suddenly, a shield formed outside the soul, radiating a hazy holy light.

Traditional combatants rarely possess combat skills that involve the soul; this 'Celestial Shield' is considered the foundation of the Church of the Sun God.

Unfortunately, as Luo Yi became involved at higher and higher levels, this sacred combat technique became less and less effective.

Therefore, Luo Yi activated [Divine Sigh - Dragon's Might Unleashed], and thus, in this mysterious dimension, that terrifying existence finally revealed its traces.

It's hard to describe what this terrifying creature looks like; it resembles an octopus, yet it constantly twists and deforms.

It has countless tentacles, and on the surface of the tentacles, one can see hundreds of shrunken human faces struggling between the muscles.

Its skin was slippery and sticky, yet covered with countless bumps, revealing dense, oval-shaped protrusions beneath the skin, upon which blasphemous runes shone.

Not to mention the towering projection of the seven gods, even Luo Yi felt his scalp tingle at this moment, and wondered inwardly, what the hell is this thing?
But a moment later, he realized that this must be a terrifying evil creature that walks the astral plane, an existence that would give even the gods a headache.

But why does [Divine Sigh - Dragon's Might Bloom] summon such an evil creature?

This was Roy's dilemma, but there was no doubt that the results were extremely remarkable.

Because when this evil thing manifested, even the projections of the seven gods were startled. Then, an even more vast divine power pressed down, as if to completely crush Luo Yi's soul.

But the evil creature also let out a shriek, and in this unknown dimension, it clashed with divine power and actually held its own.

At that moment, black mist swirled and spread in front of Luo Yi, eventually revealing a human figure.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, and a thin figure. Yet, you could feel a vast, kingly aura emanating from him, overwhelming you and forcing you to submit.

At that moment, almost as if struck by a divine inspiration, Loy blurted out, "You are Hohenzollern III? You're not dead?"
No, no, your physical body is dead, this is your soul!

"Then why did you set up such a big scheme and drag me here?"

"Negotiation? Torture? Enslavement? Or perhaps, submission?"

"No, no, no, it can't be that simple. Oh, right, you want to take over someone else's place?"

"You actually want to possess someone's body?"

"Possession? That's a very unfamiliar term!"

Hohenzollern III finally spoke, his voice deep and authoritative: "It means the same thing, but I prefer to call it, Divine Rebirth!"

"You should feel honored to be a part of me, and I will always be me!!!"

At this moment, Luo Yi seemed to finally understand: "You have your eye on the strength, industrial development, and war potential of the Flower Territory."

What you must do is devour my soul, become me, and then, in the name of Luo Yi, rekindle your dream of conquering the continent!

“Superficial, so superficial! You ants will never be able to comprehend the profound thoughts of us arcane sorcerers.”

However, I have no interest in explaining it to you.

Anyway, once you become me, you'll understand everything.

After speaking, he turned into mist again, and then suddenly rolled forward, as if to completely engulf Luo Yi.

But what he didn't notice was the cold smile that appeared on Luo Yi's lips.

"You want to be like me? Heh heh heh, that's not so easy!"

"Deep Blue, with all your computing power, create a dream world. I'm going to have a good showdown with this old ghost."

I also want to see what secrets they are hiding, and what grand scheme they are plotting.
