Brain bloom

“That’s right… This is of great importance; this is a big shot from the Chaos Land…”

Sen Shi was stunned. It turned out this guy was someone important. She also realized something: perhaps this gourmet wasn't defeated by the Evil Mist, but rather... accidentally ate it.

But this is a bit troublesome, because they are Melia's citizens, and acting like this will only make things awkward afterward...

Sen Shi turned his head and asked, "Man, how long can your seal last?"

Thirty minutes.

"Then I'll go ask this demon queen, at least I should give her a heads-up beforehand... um?"

Suddenly, the earth shook violently.

An earthquake... it felt like a giant dragon passing underground, causing intense dizziness. However, Mori quickly realized that it wasn't an earthquake, but something enormous shaking the earth.

It's an area of ​​Silvermoon City, including the plaza and several surrounding sections.

Everyone knew what was about to happen: Silvermoon City was about to float into the air.

"Why is it flying at this time?! Damn it, my scroll got shaken up."

"Strange, didn't we eliminate all the dangers? Why is she still running? It's rare that the Four Seasons Helped her out."

"So, Balzac wasn't coming to help because he was preparing for this? What am I doing fighting to the death here? He didn't even tell me he was escaping?!"

“…He still did it.” Man stared in that direction, her eyes grave.

The ground rose slightly, then began to ascend. Besides the roar of the process, numerous cries of panic could be heard. Throughout, no one sent a message inviting those struggling nearby to join them on board.

He explained to Mann what Lord Balzac was about to do: he wanted to lead all the people into the sky that night. Not only to escape the ominous fog, but also to pursue his ideals.

"He brought along the elite class of Silvermoon City, as well as most of the young and capable people, wanting to go to a place in mythology to build a new home... Ridiculous, isn't it? In such a time of crisis."

"In fact, those who were taken along had no idea that this was happening."

Dandelion was stunned, thinking that if it really flew away, it meant the reward would be hard to pay. But Sen instinctively sensed a deeper danger: the ominous mist.

It wasn't wreaking havoc in Silvermoon City, nor was it seeking out some sea god's ominous mist, much less the powerful enemy being devoured before our eyes.

Instead... it was the ominous mist hidden deep within the ruins, which the boy had always held in his arms. It had condensed to its extreme, absorbing an unknown amount of malice, and was something that even the Pope's skull could not purify.

Although he was insignificant in the presence of Fernanda and the ancient Demon King at the time, things are different now.

Based on what Sen Shi knew—Silvermoon City itself was the very thing suppressing that ruin. Now, carrying thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of heads, it's just brazenly flying up, not even reaching high altitudes yet. What would the escaping Evil Mist below think if they saw this?

They would inevitably disregard everything to enjoy these pooled foods.

It will probably succeed, after all, Sen Shi had witnessed the speed at which the Evil Mist broke free of its seal...

Suddenly, she, the soldiers present, and the two old heroes all felt a shiver of varying degrees; it was a kind of overwhelming malice that suddenly filled the air, a kind of agonizing feeling.

Dandelion also sensed something: "This is no ordinary ominous fog."

"Bayer".

"What's wrong, Four Seasons?" He turned his head and suddenly froze.

Only tranquility and peace remained in the air.

Give me the money right now.

"I……"

"all."

He couldn't even look the towering figure before him in the eye... no, it was a true god. Relying on his years of experience, he managed to rouse his limp body, hurriedly opened his baggage, and handed handfuls of gold coins to Mori.

But his hands went limp several times while holding the heavy gold coins.

Gradually, gold coins began to pile up at Mori's feet.

Dozens, hundreds, and then a full three hundred.

Not many, but not few either, enough to shatter the darkness of the night and make her shine... no, it was her presence that made the gold coins gleam. However, this time the feeling was the same as last time; instead of the gold coins flying everywhere, it was consuming some kind of invisible power.

I feel like I can hold on for about another minute... but now is not the time to think about that.

If we don't do something soon, there will be huge trouble... The ascent of Silvermoon City was an utterly foolish farce.

"See this? This is my family's," the dandelion said proudly. "The gold coin is mine too."

Volume 1 #260 - It's Over

—"The coffin bearers."

A violent bird cry suddenly pierced the night sky.

It contains an astonishingly powerful evil, capable of rivaling even the divine light emanating from the forest. But this is not the enemy, but another restless being, the ancient demon king.

After sensing the sudden breath of the true god, it arrived here in just two flaps of its wings.

"It's good that you noticed. Thank you for coming." Mori breathed a sigh of relief, having achieved one of his goals—to get help.

“Your presence is brighter than my daughter’s eyes; she must have been able to sense it. What happened… Oh, I understand.”

"If I can't handle it, I'll make a deal with you."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Having said that, the Ancient Demon King landed on Mori's shoulder. This action was simply because there was nowhere to land around... it was all ground, and standing on the ground looking up at humans would diminish its majesty. Besides Mori, there were no other acquaintances, and as for Dandelion... it didn't want to get too close.

Mori didn't seem to mind, but his expression was solemn.

This huge problem must be dealt with immediately.

"The others are on their way, but it's too late. If you want to take action yourself, you'll have to hurry. This launch seems to have been poorly prepared; the seal hasn't been broken yet..."

"enough."

Mori's left hand held a book with incredible power, as if the entire galaxy was in her grasp. Compared to it, even the clearly visible Milky Way in the sky paled in comparison.

In his right hand was a staff, which miraculously sprouted due to the power of the true god in the forest.

She turned to the bound Gourmet Night Ling, preparing to unleash the power of a true god. But as soon as the restraints came off, she began sucking her fingers, a trace of drool still clinging to the corner of her mouth as she looked at Sen Shi.

"...Hmm? Something's not right."

"What's wrong, Coffin Bearer?" The Ancient Demon King asked anxiously. "Has something gone wrong?"

"I can actually feel the power of this book?!"

Sen Shi was shocked to find that he had unknowingly leveled up to level 51. But the experienced Ye Ling was still alive... Sen Shi looked around and found that the unremarkable guy was missing.

It's Man.

In the state of a true god, Mori's thinking and understanding of the world are much broader, so he immediately deduced the reason.

Man's soul, which didn't have much time left to live, seemed to have been sent to the Western Paradise by her holy light. And the rich experience of this level 99 hero became Sen Shi's possession.

"Look! There's something beneath Silvermoon City!" Bayer exclaimed.

"Just reseal it, use some brutal methods."

Mori put away the staff that had sprouted new leaves and held the book in his mouth. Even so, he could feel its power continuously supporting him.

"Oh? Is it worth abandoning the staff? Is it going to be the legendary longbow that splits the seas... or some other powerful two-handed weapon?" The Ancient Demon King's interest was piqued.

With a stern face, Sen Shi pulled out his debt-collecting slingshot.

“Hmm…this…” The Ancient Demon King fell silent.

“Princess Dandelion, these three hundred gold coins at my feet are now yours,” she said indistinctly.

"Oh?"

Please accept.

"Ah."

The gold coins at Morishita's feet paled in comparison, for they no longer belonged to her. But the power emanating from the Book of Trillions of Stars suddenly gained weight.

As for Silvermoon City that has taken off, there must be quite a few wealthy people there, right?

She instinctively wanted to pick up a pebble, but that would be too embarrassing. So she took out a gold coin, attached it to the rubber band of the slingshot, and pulled it to its limit.

It was like taking a slingshot to shoot sparrows, and having to demonstrate this action to everyone made Mori blush with embarrassment.

However, when the slingshot was aimed at the floating Silvermoon City, Sen's divine power locked onto the entire area, no longer focusing on individual enemies. It was an extremely wealthy region, where everyone possessed vast riches.

With the added power of the Trillion Star Spectrum, the slingshot's attack power has likely already exceeded ten thousand... or even more terrifyingly.

Once Silvermoon City is destroyed, it can be smashed to the ground to continue sealing the Evil Mist.

She set her sights on Silvermoon City... but she always felt that if she let go, she would be burdened with the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

“The ancient Demon King, you… need to make a deal.”

"...Hmm?"

"What's the price for protecting the innocent civilians above?"

"Lend me the complete remains of your first believer for ten minutes."

"make a deal--"

Mori's cheerful voice was drowned out by the sound of rubber bands snapping and gold coins slicing through the air.

Silvermoon City truly left the ground and rose into the air. A wisp of ominous mist, impatient and finally seizing its chance, chased after the floating city. However, all of this was far too slow compared to the speed at which the gold coin had flown.

The malevolent mist has climbed to the edge of Silvermoon City; if it were just a little higher, it could devour countless souls. At that point, it could awaken the truly dormant primordial evil, and even undo the time stop for its master.

But before it could react, it was blown away.

Not a single one left.

So much so that until the very end, it remained immersed in beautiful and eager daydreams, without even experiencing a trace of pain.

But it wasn't the speeding gold coin itself that blew it away; although it was fast, it only flew halfway.

Despite its seemingly small size, it carries immense offensive power, even after flying only halfway.

Mori blinked, exhausted from maintaining this state for so long. When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by an absolutely dazzling scene—

Is this... a holiday? Otherwise, why would there be such dazzling fireworks in the sky?

Gold coins permeated Silvermoon City Square.
