……

Somewhere in a strange cabin.

"All of them?"

Inès and Hedley, who met again, both had solemn expressions on their faces.

"A whole ship of deeply condensed high-energy stones. Are these Sarkaz going to blow up some city?!"

"The direct destructive power may be difficult to judge, but the area within a radius of several kilometers will probably be shrouded in high concentrations of Originium dust for a long time."

"Didn't you say that this ship can't go wherever it wants?"

Inès's face was so dark that it looked like water was dripping from it.

Being trapped in the Warp with a shipload of enemies in the middle of nowhere was bad enough, but now she was being told she was surrounded by a shipload of explosives capable of blowing a city into the air?!

Can you let that guy W take my place?

Hedley's expression was also somewhat hesitant.

"That's logically true. This ship is sailing in the subspace. To return to real space, and to a specific target, it needs at least a beacon that can emit a sufficiently strong signal."

"I wish you'd told me that stuff was hard to do."

"Logically speaking..."

"You're supposed to /*expletive*/!"

Chapter 486 The real opening is the climax

Originium is a very magical thing.

As the main path for the former civilization to deal with crises, even though the newly born Terra is still immature, it has already produced many things that even the former civilization needs to take seriously.

Predicting the future is certainly a remarkable thing, but in the Sarkaz royal court, the Cyclops, who has long been living in seclusion, is famous for his prophecies.

The path of psychic power may be able to go further than predicted in the future, but at least not now.

That is,

For the Sarkaz, "prophecy" is actually not something completely unfamiliar.

To deal with prophecies, we can also give a very simple example.

If I could predict a bomb explosion 10 seconds in advance, but it takes me 1 minute to get out of the blast range—

Luo Hang, whose alarm suddenly rose in his heart, did not care too much. He simply took out his entire deck of tarot cards and threw them into the air, then suddenly grabbed one of them and activated it without even looking at it.

A bright light seemed to break through the thick fog and the roof, reaching the void beyond the sky, and the towering waves spread to the distant distance like radar.

The Duke of Windermere, who noticed something unusual, also looked at the tarot cards in Luo Hang's hand.

An indistinguishable figure, clad in a white robe, holding a lantern in one hand and leaning on a cane in the other, gropes forward alone in the darkness.

It is,

Hermit.

But although it is called the Hermit, this card symbolizes——

explore.

Hermits try to give up external temptations and achieve inner peace, and then obtain the truth and discover hidden facts through meditation in a quiet environment.

Luo Hang, who finally noticed the changes in the city and the fluctuations in the subspace, suddenly changed his expression. Seeing Luo Hang's reaction, the Blood Demon Lord, who clearly saw the Hermit Card in Luo Hang's hand and the fluctuations spreading into the sky, finally trembled the corners of his mouth.

——Just like when Luo Hang entered this hall like a god descending from the sky, as if breaking all the conspiracies and saving the beauty like a hero, the corners of the Blood Demon Lord's mouth trembled.

However, this time, after a more uncontrollable and more distinct shaking, the corner of the Blood Demon Lord's mouth finally pulled to one corner hideously, revealing an undisguised crazy smile.

"You—, you're here after all."

Carrying the hatred of two defeats and severe injuries, carrying the darkness of losing face, carrying the repression and madness of forbearance and planning—

Standing in front of everyone, the ferocious Blood Demon Lord finally said the first words he really wanted to say.

No one is a fool, and never treat your enemies as fools.

The reason why Luo Hang remained cautious after defeating the Blood Demon Lord once, not only bringing in the sword guards but also mobilizing the city guards, was not because he wanted to show off how useful his caution was, but because the facts had already taught him the consequences of not being cautious enough.

In just two battles in Londinium, and even in only one battle where Luo Hang actually used his tarot cards, the Blood Demon Lord had already designed a highly targeted and interconnected siege.

At this point, there was no doubt at all that the reason Mr. Goatee was attacked at the banquet, where Luo Hang happened to be present, rather than at any other time or place, was the first step of a deliberate plan.

And only now, after the false curtain has been lifted, the real drama has officially begun. At the same time, just like the approaching storm that leaves no one breathing space -

The real opening of the drama is followed by the climax.

"Are you crazy?"

Luo Hang's expression also grew serious as he stared at the Blood Demon Lord in front of him. "You can actually escape this level of destruction by yourself?"

He was very sure that the person who appeared before him was the true body of the Blood Demon Lord.

He didn't need to know what the thing that was about to break through the subspace was, but he knew that it could bring terrible destruction.

This is also what the 'Tower' he drew twice really foreshadowed.

The shortcomings of the Level 2 psychic enhancement were once again highlighted, and the vague foreshadowing was extremely easy to be misunderstood, just like it was a trick played by a real street scammer.

“Heh, heh—”

The Blood Demon Lord's scarlet eyes looked like they could drip blood. "Who knows? Maybe it's possible, maybe it's not. But facing an opponent who can defeat me, I will not be so unaware as to be magnanimous. I will not insult myself."

"..."

Faced with the Blood Demon Lord's crazy plan, Luo Hang was speechless for a moment.

This is the second weight of this curtain——

I am sitting next to you and we are also unable to escape the range of the explosion, so... can you imagine that there is a bomb under the table?

This was a strategy that a lord of the royal court had staked his life on. Just as the Blood Demon Lord said, facing an opponent who had defeated him before, he never thought that he could win without paying a price.

In order to prepare for this grand event with the entire capital city as the backdrop and millions of lives as the price, the Blood Demon Lord showed sufficient respect, and now—

It was his turn to perform on stage.

"cracking--!"

A shrill air raid sirens blared outside the window.

The clear midday sky above the city was already showing visible ripples, as if something was about to surface.

The enemy has not yet appeared, but the huge spell disturbance is enough to make the city garrison, realizing the seriousness of the problem, sound the alarm.

"Let all forces in the city immediately destroy the magic circle that is emitting strong magical disturbances!"

Luo Hang didn't bother to talk about transgression and boundaries with the Duke of Windermere in his arms. While speaking quickly, he stuffed a "Power" card directly into the pocket on the inside of the chest lapel where the Duke of Windermere had previously placed the "Pope".

Another beam of light shot up from the top of the ancient clock tower in the city, and the clear noon sky was faintly revealing the appearance of a starry sky.

Starlight showered down on the city. The guards and soldiers who were busy and noisily assigning routes and personnel, or fighting the enemy, suddenly became clear-headed and calm. Strange red lights also appeared in various locations in the city under the influence of the starlight, appearing extremely eye-catching.

A tarot card was suspended and rotating at the top of the clock tower, revealing the card face.

Surrounded by a starry sky and the particularly bright star of hope, Sirius, in the center, the goddess of hope holds a bottle of holy water in her hand and pours the holy water into a pool symbolizing people's subconscious.

She knew that people needed hope so much, so when one bottle of holy water was finished, she poured another. Only with hope can people have enough motivation to accomplish many things.

Star.

Symbolized by——

hope.

This is a very abstract word. Faced with different situations, it is difficult to interpret hope as something unified and concrete.

But at the same time, this is also the most appropriate card to use to deal with all possibilities when you are unable to figure out the enemy's methods. It is also the card that Luo Hang left on the top of the clock tower during his preparations before the start.

Both parties in this game are inhuman beings who have lived far longer than ordinary people. One is scheming and planning carefully; the other is as steady as an old dog, and habitually leaves himself layer after layer of backup plans wherever he goes.

——It depends on whose performance is more exciting.

Chapter 487: It’s all about excitement!

"Go, chop him down!"

Luo Hang controlled his subconscious desire to pat the Duke on the buttocks, and instead patted the Duke of Windermere on the shoulder, and gave the order without hesitation.

The Duke of Windermere didn't care about these things. She just glanced at Luo Hang with a stern and solemn look.

"Don't let me down, I will definitely repay you."

After saying that, Duke Windermere raised his sword and together with the sword guards around him surrounded the Blood Demon Lord in the center.

In fact, the Duke of Windermere did not fully understand the whole picture, but her qualities as a commander enabled her to realize the urgency of the situation.

No matter what the alarm outside means, the Blood Demon Lord planned such a big battle and even put himself in danger. If the other party succeeds, the outcome for him will definitely not be good.

She had just experienced the horror of the Blood Demon Lord, so she was particularly aware of the weight of the bet the Blood Demon Lord had placed.

With the blessing of "power", there is no need to worry about the combat effectiveness of the Duke of Windermere for the time being, but the biggest problem now is obviously not the Blood Demon Lord.

First, more intelligence is needed.

Luo Hang picked up his 'Hermit' card again and directed his exploration towards the already clear ripples in the sky.

'Stars' can bring hope, but hope only means the opportunity to achieve victory, not victory itself.

There is actually victory in his hand, but the power of a Tarot card is limited, and victory can only be truly achieved when the opportunity arises.

"..."

The bright light of exploration illuminated the situation in the subspace like dispersing thick fog, and Luo Hang finally saw the giant beast floating in the subspace, which seemed to be only left with skeleton and flesh.

Ursula.

He even knew that this behemoth was dismantled into this miserable state after being defeated by the Blood Demon Lord, so that it could be used to serve the Sarkaz.

But this time, it seems that the Blood Demon Lord intends to let this giant beast completely burn out its last bit of light.

A whole ship of highly refined high-energy stones, and some unexpected passengers.

The first thing that is certain is that it is best not to let this ship explode in real space.

The Originium dust produced by the explosion of a large number of high-energy stones has a corrosive effect on humans and any living creatures comparable to nuclear radiation. Even if it is detonated above a city, it is very difficult to get out of the range of such a huge city before the Originium dust falls.

Even though the majority of the residents of Rhodes Island are infected, as a doctor, Luo Hang must clearly warn that oripathy is by no means a good thing.

But the question now is -

Ursula was too close to her goal of manifesting.

Even though the defense forces in Lien Carden City have been using the Stars to help destroy the signaling array, at the current distance, the most they can do is delay the opponent's appearance, but it is impossible to completely stop it.

Then,

What should I do...

Luo Hang's mind was working rapidly and urgently.

After integrating all the cards in his hand, a very bold... and exciting plan suddenly emerged in his mind.

……

Ursula, inside the cabin.

"Zizzi."

Inès, who was sneaking in the shadows, glanced at Hedley beside her, then looked down at her waist and picked up her communicator in confusion.

"The controller of this ship is in the hands of one of your old friends, and also includes the detonator of the ship's Originium."

A man's voice came from the communicator.

Inès looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Doctor? How did you suddenly appear at this time? And there is still a signal in this damn place?"
