The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Keynes gave up the search, and Grand Duke Coldthorn stopped interfering. After learning the truth, they both left silently, choosing to believe the Stargazer.

Only Ning Feng did not give up. After trying various methods, he finally managed to reach the Watchful City, which was under active lockdown.

Does Ning Feng not believe in stargazers?

No, it is precisely because Ning Feng trusts her that he is doing this.

There is no omniscient and omnipotent being in this world, not even gods!

As long as the stargazer remains within the realm of this world's understanding, she is always capable of making mistakes and will always need the help of others.

So Ning Feng came, regardless of everything, just to patch up the last loophole.

But now, the scene before him presented him with the most bleak reality, a bloody truth—

You're late.

The battle was long over, and the main battlefield had fallen into an eerie silence.

"...Something must have gone wrong."

With his brows furrowed, Ning Feng whispered once more:

"This shouldn't be the outcome."

The stargazer is very strong.

It's really strong.

Ning Feng, who once served as the vessel for her descent, was very clear about this, and even believed it without a doubt.

If even a mere avatar could easily force a saintly archangel to self-destruct, how powerful must her true form be?

Even if a god were to descend one day, her strength would be more than enough to protect herself.

This is not blind worship, but a conclusion drawn from the personal experiences of Ariana and Cecilia, coupled with thorough analysis.

【Oh dear~ You want to figure out just how powerful the Stargazers are?】

"Hmm... how should I put it... I'll probably be a little weaker than I was before? You're asking how much weaker? Like this—"

As she spoke, Ariana gestured to Ning Feng a length that might contain the universe.

The primordial demons never had a serious demeanor, and even when faced with such a serious question, they were still able to leave Ning Feng speechless with their highly creative answers.

[But don't think this is nothing! Being slightly weaker than me doesn't mean she's weak! Hey! Don't give me that "What are you talking about?" look. Don't underestimate the value of Ariana!]

Are you looking down on cats...? Oh, are you underestimating the devil?! Huh?

Compared to the unorthodox demons, the angels' assessments, which are usually quite serious and methodical, are much more accurate and clear:

"Although I haven't fought her directly, I have a certain assessment of the strength of the Stargazer."

"The Stargazer is very powerful."

"At least she's no weaker than most gods. If she's holding back, then her strength... might even be comparable to the main gods of some pantheons."

At the end of her careful analysis, Cecilia offered this reminder:

"Furthermore, there is a special case: if she is in that Watchful City, she can even be regarded as a deity residing in their divine kingdom."

"In my eyes, the City of Watch is like her divine kingdom."

When the gods stand in their own divine kingdom.

Just how powerful is this force? Anyone with any understanding of deities can surely comprehend it.

Therefore, Ning Feng does not understand.

I really don't understand.

More than fear, he felt confused...

With such formidable strength, even if the Stargazer's physical body had some hidden dangers, it shouldn't have ended up like this.

At least, they won't have been unable to hold out until Ning Feng arrived!

Why did it end like this?

In the silence, Ning Feng moved closer to the light screen, wanting to see clearly what had happened.

Here's a suggestion: you can't move any further forward.

Chapter 473 The Intervention of the Gods

If you're not fully prepared yet, I advise you to stop.

Before everything is beyond repair.

Ariana's voice immediately stopped Ning Feng in his tracks.

He didn't doubt Ariana's advice, choosing to believe her directly, and asked:

"Why? Is it dangerous?"

Although Ning Feng almost unconditionally believed Ariana's words, he did not sense any threat from the light screen outside the Watcher's City.

Are there any details I missed?

It can be said that way, and it can also be said that way.

According to Keynes, the Stargazers deliberately sealed off the Watcher's City, right? No one can get close.

"Yes."

Why do you think its self-isolation is harmless? Why can't this defensive light barrier also have the ability to retaliate?

Narrowing his eyes, Ning Feng thought for a moment and said:

“...You’re right, but my gut feeling tells me it won’t hurt me.”

Ning Feng couldn't quite explain the feeling, and he knew his reasoning was somewhat far-fetched, but he trusted his intuition from that moment and believed it wouldn't hurt him.

He always felt a sense of warmth towards the City of Watch, a familiar feeling like returning home, while also experiencing a sense of nostalgia.

He had a feeling that no matter what happened, Watchtower City would never do anything bad to him.

Ning Feng was absolutely convinced of this...

Although he knew in his heart that such trust was unfounded and untenable.

Yes, that's the problem.

The black cat appeared on Ning Feng's shoulder, looking at him with a complicated expression, then slowly sighed and said:

Perhaps the current shock is too great for you, and you've surprisingly lost your rationality, but that's alright~

Ariana's sigh lasted less than five seconds before she returned to her usual self, grinning as she nuzzled Ning Feng's cheek.

I prefer the vibrant you to the automaton that's the part of you that's so calculating and responsive!

Ning Feng: "…………"

Ignoring the demon's rapidly changing emotions, Ning Feng frowned and slowly raised his palm, gently touching the light screen that was almost touching him.

Ning Feng felt his palm touch a hard but warm glass dome, but nothing else happened.

"This……"

To Ning Feng's surprise, the light screen did not react in any way, neither launching a defensive counterattack nor exhibiting any unusual changes.

Although Ning Feng seemed to have arrived here unprepared, he was actually quite confident.

He could vaguely guess at his connection with the City of Watch.

Every time he came to Watchtower City, he had a feeling that he came from this place.

He seems to belong here.

It at least once belonged to this place.

Just like when he descended last time, Ning Feng felt that he could mobilize a certain amount of the energy of the Watcher City. This was not entirely due to the power of the Stargazers, but rather came from within himself.

"why is that?"

You're wondering why the City of Watchers is refusing your approach, aren't you?

"Yes."

If his intuition is correct, there is no reason for this outcome.

"Did she anticipate my arrival and therefore refuse my help?"

Are stargazers really that arrogant?

This may be part of the reason, but not the whole story.

The real reason is actually quite simple: the composition of this light screen wasn't entirely provided by the Stargazers and the Watcher City, but rather by others...

other……

Ning Feng's ears and eyes followed Ariana's words. He looked at the giants, the eagles, the treants, and finally swept over the fog, but he did not sense any greater power from them.

Finally, he turned his attention to the last clue.

Judging from the frozen scene before us, the real winner is undoubtedly the stargazer.

The Stargazer had the upper hand, fighting four Saints single-handedly without being at a disadvantage, and had even killed one of them.

The only thing that seemed off was that slender, white hand.

"So, the problem actually lies in that hand."

[That's right! That's exactly it. The third force that appeared came from that hand.]

The black cat smiled knowingly, then whispered in Ning Feng's ear:

Or perhaps it came from that divine artifact.

Divine artifacts, as the name suggests, are tools used by gods.

Ning Feng was no stranger to divine artifacts; he even had a similar replica. However, he never imagined that a divine artifact could possess such power.

Does such a divine artifact truly exist, capable of simultaneously trapping four saints and one being far more powerful than a saint in a frozen space-time?

As if sensing Ning Feng's doubts, Ariana nodded and then smiled:
