Celia invaded the magic circle, and after a moment, her brows furrowed.

"Wow, the infiltration here is even more outrageous than in Koster City, what's going on?"

Unable to bear the sight of the dilapidated magic circle, Celia initiated an invasion.

Soon, she had complete control over the entire magic array.

"Fortunately, the protective array is a whole, unlike the sacrificial array of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Society, otherwise it would be impossible to control such a huge array."

Even so, Celia could only focus her attention on the core area and dared not look at other places for fear of getting lost.

Through the nodes in the central area, Celia sensed the chaotic magic of the central city.

"This magic circle seems to have a monitoring node. Let me check... I found it."

Soon, a scene from the city center appeared before Celia.

The berserk Phil, Duke Pharos silently enduring Phil's attacks, and the mysterious sorcerer who occasionally fires a sneak shot from the sidelines.

The situation in the city center does not appear to be optimistic.

“Phil…”

Celia's mood darkened, and various thoughts flashed through her mind.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing into the magic array through her mage hand.

She looked at the phantom of Ross beside her.

"Lord Ross..."

“Let me do it,” Ross said with a smile.

“Okay.” Celia obediently stopped and let Ross take over.

The magic circle immediately began to flash.

Celia didn't know how Ross had done it, but the runes on the modified node cores and the high-level magic crystals that powered them were gradually fading away.

At the same time, she suddenly noticed that within the massive magic array, there were some tiny magic arrays that did not seem to belong to the magic array.

The familiar runes immediately made Celia recognize them.

"The Deep Sea Aid Society's sacrificial arrays? So many of them?"

A quick glance around revealed that there were at least 100 magic circles throughout the city!

With so many magic arrays operating simultaneously, creating 100 temporary fourth-tier heretics...

Celia dared not think about it.

Ross chuckled, "It's useless. 100 pseudo-fourth-tier mages can't make a fuss because the magic array in Leites City is strong enough to withstand it. Moreover, in addition to soul energy, demonic pollution is also a necessity. That's why deep-sea monsters appear."

"In addition, if they wanted to release 100 fourth-tier mages to destroy the city, they would directly activate the protective magic circle and annihilate them. Therefore, they chose to have 100 fourth-tier mages supply power to the mages in the center."

"Yes, it's Phil. Her special qualities caught the eye of the Deep Sea Assistance Association, so she became the star of tonight."

Looking at the frantic Phil, Celia asked in confusion, "What exactly is the Deep Sea Aid Society trying to do? Is forcibly elevating Phil to the fifth rank to restrain Duke Pharos?"

Ross shook his head: "They want to break the deadlock, they want to call upon the gods, they want the people of the Golden Apple Stone Forest to come and help."

"Summoning the gods?" Celia blinked. "Didn't Lord Ross say that you had already dealt with that 'evil god' named Rost?"

Ross glanced at Ethel, who was undergoing labor reform, and smiled slightly: "Yes, so their intention to summon the gods could not be fulfilled."

Phil's divine bond level is the same as Celia's, both at 100%. The pollution of the entire city and the infusion of soul energy forced her to reach the fifth level. Besides creating chaos, one of her purposes was to summon the gods.

Unaware that their god had been captured by Ross, they were still trying to contact him.

"In addition, they also want to bring over the sixth-tier sorcerers from the Golden Apple Stone Forest."

Celia asked in confusion, "But it seems that the Golden Apple Stone Forest is also under attack by deep-sea monsters. It seems that even the stronghold of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association has been affected, and they are fighting against the deep-sea monsters together with the Holy Court."

The latest news is that the battle at the Golden Apple Stone Forest is fierce, and sixth-tier demons have appeared. These demons do not distinguish between the Holy Court and heretics, and they destroy anything they see.

Ross smiled without saying a word, only glancing at Ethel in the sealed land.

That's right, the Golden Apple Stone Forest was set up by Roth at Ethel's behest, through Ethel's divine fragments in the Tranquil Sea.

After Ross tore a rift, Ethel was able to temporarily control the deep sea through the fragments of her divine power, easily driving a group of deep-sea monsters to cause trouble on the shore.

Chapter 428 Take a Shot

Outside the Golden Apple Stone Forest, near the sea.

Together with Melina, Blake kept all the deep-sea monsters off the coast.

Besides the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

"These monsters were summoned by the Deep Sea Aid Society, right? But why are they attacking these monsters too?"

After a wave of deep-sea monsters was cleared out, Blake looked towards the depths of the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

There were their people patrolling inside, witnessing the heretics of the Deep Sea Aid Society dealing with monsters from the deep sea.

Melina said, "Something feels off. They seem... to have no intention of using these deep-sea monsters."

Blake frowned as well: "I have the same feeling, as if this monster attack was unexpected for them."

Suddenly, Blake realized something, opened his bracelet, quickly scanned the messages, and frowned: "There's a problem in Leites City."

As he scrolled to the end, his expression changed. "Phil? Damn heretics, are these guys targeting Phil?"

As he said that, he was about to leave.

Melina grabbed him: "Don't leave. If we leave, those people from the Deep Sea Aid Society will leave immediately, and I can't stop them by myself."

Blake pondered for a moment and nodded: "Alright, I'll contact the Holy Lord and see what his decision is."

"Alright."

Melina didn't want to contact the Holy Lord because she would get scolded every time she did.

Blake didn't care about being scolded and frequently contacted the Holy Lord.

Soon, the Holy Lord made contact, and Blake quickly explained the situation before the other party could start cursing.

After a moment of silence, the Holy Lord said, "I understand. You may proceed as usual."

……

Leytes City, the city center.

While enduring the attacks, Duke Pharos tried to reason with Phil.

Yu Jeria, who was secretly firing shots from the side, chuckled maliciously.

"It's no use. The sacrificial ritual that Shenhai learned from us has forced the souls of countless people onto one person, making her soul no longer her own. The massive infusion of 'divine power' is also causing her body to collapse at any moment. Hehehe, this show is really interesting. It was worth the trip I made."

Duke Pharos's heart sank.

Seeing Phil's bloodshot eyes and his inability to recognize his own family, his own eyes slowly reddened as well.

As Phil attacked again, the sword in his hand emitted a bright light, and a cage of lightning enveloped Phil.

Then, his eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at Yu Jeria and asked, "Are you happy?"

As he spoke, he rushed over, emanating a terrifying light that made it difficult for others to even breathe.

Yu Jeria remained calm and turned to run towards the sea.

"Come on, hehehe, let me see how much your strength has improved over the years."

A sixth-tier mage who has lost his mind is terrifying, but Yu Jeria is not worried at all, and is even secretly pleased.

"Once I lure you into the deep sea, my mission will be complete, and then it will be a new show."

The scenery around them flashed by quickly on both sides.

Unbeknownst to Yu Jeria, the magic circle below, after a burst of flashes, stabilized and then dimmed.

As he flew rapidly to the shore and was about to enter the open sea, the lighthouse standing on the shore suddenly burst into a bright light.

The lighthouse, its top exposed, resembled a cannon, and as Yu Jeria prepared to cross it, it unleashed a terrifying beam of magical light from its top.

Yu Jeria's expression changed drastically. "What is that?"

He quickly controlled the puppet to fly below him, and various defensive spells appeared, trying to block the attack that had appeared out of nowhere.

boom!

The beam of light slammed into the golem, shattering its defensive spells, and then the golem itself broke into pieces.

Unfortunately, after the puppet shattered, its remaining power was no longer enough to defeat Yu Jeria.

Inside the lighthouse, Ross said to Celia, "See? The higher the rank, the weaker the puppet's role becomes. After the sixth rank, the puppet's strength can no longer keep up with the mage's improvement, and it only serves as cannon fodder—except for the Puppet Heart, of course."

A puppet heart fell from the lighthouse and, quite 'coincidentally', landed in an underground passage, where Ross picked it up.

"A puppet heart with life attributes? What a pity."

Ross shook his head.

It's a pity that it only has the life attribute and not the death attribute.

Among the twelve main gods, one of them is known as the God of Life and Death, who controls the power of life and death, that is, the elements of life and death.

Only those who possess both the attributes of life and death are deities of the God of Life and Death; others with similar authority are subordinate gods.

Celia didn't speak; she was still in shock.

"Just now... did you mobilize the entire energy of the magic array to severely injure a sixth-tier mage?" she murmured to herself.

Ross nodded: "Yes, this is the power of a large-scale magic array. It's incredibly strong. You know the highest-level magic array, the one that trapped me. However, the weakness of a large-scale magic array is obvious. It can only fix things in place. It's quite difficult to have a chance to severely injure a high-level mage like this."

Celia nodded.

indeed.

After all, others won't stand still and wait for you to bombard them.

But what's with this sixth-tier mage above?

Celia is strange.

Does Lord Ross really lack the ability to foresee the future?

Why did he know that a level 6 enemy would fly past from here, and why did he specifically modify the lighthouse into a turret, secretly charge up his power, and then deliver a big blow?

A hint of contemplation and admiration flashed in Celia's eyes, but it was quickly dispelled by Ross's amused expression.

Because she suddenly realized that the lighthouse was collapsing after the first shot was fired.

The girl was silent.

Has yet another iconic building been damaged because of its own actions?

Celia sighed softly and turned her attention back to the battle above.

The lighthouse turning into a turret and firing a shot at Yudjaria caught not only Yudjaria off guard, but also Duke Pharos.

However, as a sixth-tier being, Duke Pharos reacted quickly and rushed over. The puppet and the sorcerer both started working, unleashing countless powerful spells on Yu Jeria.

Amidst the deafening roar, the aftershocks of the explosion affected the people below, who hurriedly moved away.

Duke Pharos noticed this and threw Yu Jeriya onto the ocean. He then followed closely behind, giving Yu Jeriya no time to react, and launched another fierce attack.

Duke Pharos's eyes were bloodshot. He simply abandoned his weapon and began to punch Yu Jeria repeatedly with both hands, dozens of punches per second.

Boom boom boom!

Duke Pharos raised his hand, and a dazzling light of lightning appeared in it.

"Give me, die!"

boom!

The immense aftershocks of magic force forcefully dispersed the thick clouds in the sky, revealing the stars above.

……

Twilight Sect outpost somewhere.

A body lying in a stone coffin suddenly opened its eyes, sat up abruptly, and gasped for breath.

A mocking voice came from the side.
