Chapter 645 Chaos and Disaster
Chapter 645 Chaos and Disaster
Night, Royal Capital, Canal
"Click."
Along with the crisp sound of the mechanism returning to its place, the young man who was taking a nap on the bench outside the pier of the inland navigation section opened his eyes and stared at the huge compass he was holding in his arms.
Different from other compasses used for surveying directions, this strange navy blue compass has six movable rings, plus a magnetic needle suspended by a silk thread under the central circular glazed cover. It is divided into seven layers from the inside to the outside.
With the click of the mechanism returning to its original position, all the rings on the navy blue compass had been locked. The central magnetic needle, which had been motionless, also began to deflect as the six outer rings were locked, and finally pointed in the direction of the palace.
All six "elements" have been achieved...
After observing the situation of the navy blue compass and following the direction of the magnetic needle, squinting at the palace in the night, the young man in the aqua blue robe couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.
Timing, conditions, people;
Goals, abilities, me.
To push the pointer in the center of the [Wishing Wheel] to point to the target, you need to lock a total of six rings, three inside and three outside.
After working hard for nearly a hundred years, he finally got the chance to clean up the emptiness in the Bureau, achieved the necessary conditions to complete the goal, and arranged the "key man" who could not be avoided, thus locking the three "external factors" of the [Wish Wheel].
As for the remaining three rings of "Inner Reason", whether it is a goal that one is willing to give everything for, the ability required to achieve this goal, or the willingness to burn everything to reach the end, one will never lack it.
At this point, the six elements required to activate the [Wheel of Wishing] have all been gathered, which means that what you want to do will eventually succeed, and no one will be able to stop you!
"Wow!"
As if to respond to his excited mood at the moment, a huge wave suddenly surged in the canal in front of the young man. Although there was no wind, the boats in the river were swaying left and right.
Because the navigation section of the canal in the royal capital has always been stable with almost no wind or waves, and it was now night, the sailors were not vigilant enough, and the large number of shaking ships immediately caused cries of surprise.
And amidst these exclamations, a series of chaotic and disorderly strange auras gathered quietly as if out of nothing, and finally condensed into one place under the cover of night, and quietly fell on the bench next to Director Aquarius.
"This world is indeed the best!"
Gazing at the sailors who were trying their best to stabilize the boat in the canal, the black-robed man with a thrush mask closed his eyes in fascination, took a deep breath of the chaotic and intense air, and then thanked the Aquarius director next to him:
"This time it's all thanks to you. If you weren't so powerful, I don't know how long I would have to wait before I could come to this world in the flesh again."
"You're welcome."
After looking at the lighted "Condition" ring on the roulette wheel, Director Aquarius couldn't help but smile, and then responded in a gentle voice:
"After all, I have studied the Watchtower Palace for decades. Although I have never been able to climb up there to observe it closely, I still have some experience. It is not difficult to temporarily tear open a few small holes."
"Hey~ Look at you, you're being modest again, aren't you?"
Although the man in the thrush mask looked stern, he surprisingly seemed to be a very outgoing person. Facing the modesty of the Aquarius director, he simply clapped his hands and laughed:
"You have only studied the Watchtower Palace for a few decades, but I have been blocked outside by this thing for more than a thousand years. In these thousand years, I haven't even found a crack, let alone an opening. Every time I try to get in, I have to work hard. We are far worse than you!"
"Thank you for the compliment. I just took advantage of my status to be able to see the relevant records of the Cleanup Bureau, and mastered the secret art of creating the Watchtower Palace. Otherwise, I would be helpless with it." After a wave of insincere business flattery with the man in the thrush mask, Director Aquarius loosened his hands holding the [Wish Wheel], sent this strange wheel back into the void, and then greeted:
"Then, please act according to the agreement."
"Easy to say!"
Crow Mask responded without hesitation, then stood up and walked towards the palace. However, halfway through, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned back with a smile, raising his hand and slightly tilting it towards the chaotic dock.
"Squeak--Gah--"
As the man in the thrush mask moved, a rough and sharp sound of steel breaking was immediately heard from the structure of the dock.
I don’t know what happened, but the shipping terminal that originally looked very solid suddenly became extremely dilapidated, as if it had gone through decades of wind and frost. The buildings on it even became crooked and were about to collapse.
In the direction where the dock was about to collapse, a group of sailors who were desperately turning the capstan opened their eyes wide in horror, looking desperately at the huge shadow that was about to hit them...
"Should we not do this kind of thing?"
Along with the gentle voice of dissuasion, a golden knife quietly slashed across, and the right hand of the man in the crow mask, which was emitting a strange black aura, suddenly "retreat" backwards and returned to the position before he raised his hand.
At the same time, the crumbling steel frame on the dock, although nearly half of the guardrails were broken by its own weight, it finally stopped just before collapsing completely and did not actually fall down.
"Aquarius?"
Looking at the pocket watch on the back of his hand that was cut, the man in the thrush mask slightly lost his happy smile and asked with a slightly gloomy look:
"what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I just don't want to cause any trouble."
Director Aquarius, who seemed to be completely unaware of the hostility shown by the man in the thrush mask, explained with a gentle expression:
"This is the jurisdiction of the Virgin Branch after all. If there is such a big commotion, it might attract..."
"What are you afraid of?"
The man in the thrush mask sighed when he heard this, then raised his head slightly and said:
“My power of [Disaster] will not leave any traces. Even if the personnel of the Cleanup Bureau come to inspect it later, they will only think that this is a disaster caused by the long-term disrepair of the dock.
What's more, the Blood-Haired Princess has already left, and the remaining people in the Virgin Branch have not crossed the line between human and god, so they are not to be feared at all. If the time had not come, I could have killed them all by myself."
"Uh-huh."
After nodding in response, Director Aquarius smiled and said:
"I don't deny this. You, who have mastered the powers of both Chaos and Disaster, are considered strong among the true gods. You do have the ability to kill all the virgins, but have you forgotten one person?"
