Versatile Mage: Angel of Time, but Emperor of Every Moment

Chapter 227 Arrival in the City of Terror, Ruined Ruins
holy city.

The chaotic nebula on the temple dome slowly rotated, casting a layer of eerie blue light on Yuri's black hair.

The moment she touched the ground with one knee, the ice crystal badge on her combat uniform made a crisp sound as it collided with the ground, and the unhealed claw marks of the Emperor were revealed where the sleeve had slipped down.

"My lord, this is the information I've compiled these past few days regarding extraterrestrial objects. Please take a look." Yuri carefully handed the compiled information to An Jing.

After the seclusion ended, An Jing immediately summoned Yuri.

“Senior Yuri, there’s no need to keep calling me ‘adult.’ Just call me by my name like everyone else. We’re comrades-in-arms, after all, and we’ve been through life and death together.”

An Jing took the documents and then spoke to Yuri.

To be honest, An Jing greatly admires Yuri, who is under fifty years old and possesses three forbidden spells, and was born in a relatively backward country.

If this were in China, achieving such accomplishments before the age of fifty would definitely put someone on par with a military leader like Hua Junshou!
They could withstand the combined might of the two imperial stars and still emerge unscathed.

An Jing still doesn't know how Yuri did it. How could there be someone in this world with such profound luck?
If Blanche is the Lady of Destiny, then Yuri is definitely the Lady of Destiny plus the protagonist from the previous version!

"Yes." Yuri nodded.

She could sense that An Jing's words were not insincere or meant to impress others, but rather a genuine exchange of hearts.

Over the past few months, he has become a guest of honor in the Holy City, as long as he doesn't make any excessive demands, or rather,

Anything the Holy City has, we will provide to Yuri unconditionally!
Even without her, just the fact that she saved Michael's life in the battle of the Twin Emperors makes her worthy of it.

"."

An Jing first glanced at the information provided by Yuri. This place was only more than 5,000 kilometers away from Yuri's hometown, which was just a matter of two instant teleportations for An Jing.

“I have very few records of encountering those strange creatures. I only know that they live at night and cannot be seen during the day,” Yuri said.

The City of Terror isn't very large, about half the size of Shanghai, but An Jing still doesn't quite understand where those extraterrestrial beings came from.

What exactly are they after?
In a resource-scarce place like Terror City, the number of mages is less than half that of second- or third-tier cities. If we put ourselves in their shoes...
If it is something from outside the region, it should first choose a relatively weak country to slowly erode it, develop steadily, and establish a foothold.

That makes sense.

However, they never expected that there would be a top expert with three forbidden spells in the City of Terror, which directly disrupted their plans.

And they couldn't do anything to Yuri.

"Where did the extraterrestrial objects first appear?" An Jing put away the data and then looked at Yuri to ask.

"Hmm," Yuri frowned, and after a long pause, slowly spoke: "There's an abandoned ruin a few dozen kilometers away from the City of Terror."

The village shaman said that those strange creatures came from there.

"remains?"

An Jing was taken aback upon hearing this.

“Yes, but I’ve also been inside that ruin. It’s basically blocked off with no way out, and there’s nothing strange about it,” Yuri said.

She majored in necromancy, so no matter what happened, it wouldn't escape Yuri's notice. "Let's go to the City of Terror first. At this point, we can only take it one step at a time," An Jing said.

He wasn't good at theoretical discussions; only practice could prove the truth.

Since they don't want to come out during the day, why doesn't he just go out at night to block these extraterrestrial beings?

"I'll listen to you," Yuri nodded.

The two hit it off immediately and took action that very day without any hesitation.

On this trip to Baisawa, An Jing only brought Nan and Yuri. Given the unpredictable nature of the situation, bringing too many people along would likely result in them all becoming cannon fodder.

The battle between the two imperial stars is a very good example.

His capable general Keye was dead, and there were no trustworthy confidants in the Holy City. Rather than bringing along those opportunistic fellows, he might as well go into battle lightly equipped.

"Don't resist. I need to rely on your memory to locate Baisawa's position."

An Jing lightly lifted his fingertips, and several strands of silver threads, shimmering with a ghostly blue starlight, flowed from between his fingers, reaching towards Yuri's brow as if they were alive.

Fine, chaotic runes floated on the surface of those threads, each rune reflecting a different fragment of memory—

"Relax."

His voice suddenly became ethereal, his left eye transformed into the bronze gear of the Emperor Zafkiel, and his right eye into the star compass of the Emperor Madman. The moment the first thread touched Yuri's forehead, the entire temple suddenly twisted into the shape of a memory corridor.

Yuri's icy blue pupils widened slightly as she saw her memories being materialized.

Soon, scenes of Baisawa appeared one by one in Anjing's mind.

The dilapidated clock tower was covered in purple mycelium, the corpse of a stray cat twitched and reformed on the fungal carpet, while the mages who should have been patrolling stood motionless in the shadows like puppets.
"drop!"

Anjing's edict boomed like thunder, and the phantom of Emperor Keke suddenly solidified. A bronze gear, a thousand meters in diameter, pressed down from the dome, enveloping the entire temple in ripples of time and space. Yuri felt a lightness beneath his feet and looked down to see a gigantic golden clock unfolding on the ground—

The instant the hour and minute hands crossed, their figures were erased from the mortal realm like pencil drawings wiped clean by an eraser.

The last thing to disappear was An Jing's right eye, which was burning with chaotic fire. The trajectory that the flame traced in the void was clearly the spacetime coordinates leading to the City of Terror!

City of terror.

Yuri's eyelashes trembled slightly, and when his gaze refocused, the familiar gray-white city walls stood before him.

The iconic bone flag of the city of terror fluttered in the twilight, and the warning runes wrapped around the flagpole glowed with an eerie blue light—the defensive barrier she had personally set up before leaving her hometown.

But the defensive barrier is now in a state of disrepair.

"Such terrifying corrosive power."

Anjing's boots lightly tapped the crenellations of the city wall, and the entire panorama of the terrifying city unfolded beneath his feet.

The chaotic fire in his right eye suddenly split into millions of flames, each one precisely striking a dark corner of the city. Wherever the chaotic fire passed...
Those eerie creatures that dwell in the shadows retreated madly into the earth like the receding tide.

"The defensive barrier I personally set up before I left has been corroded." Yuri's voice was filled with unconcealed sorrow. The breach of the defensive barrier meant that her homeland had been completely conquered by the strange entity.
