Barrier of Light

A large amount of broken ice floated on the surface of the broken ice sea, as well as the wreckage of broken energy boats.

Countless bodies were floating in the waves.

The fog has lifted.

"Dead...all dead..."

The low murmuring sound echoed over the sea and was swallowed up by the waves.

Yin Zhuo, the fourth elder of the Temple of Light, stood alone and in despair on the huge alloy roof of the main boat that was still intact.

His hair was disheveled and he was extremely embarrassed. His gorgeous and sacred white robe was in pieces. His chest was pierced by a laser beam, and his unhealed flesh and blood still exuded a hissing heat.

In the final bombardment, the Guangming main boat failed to break through and was completely shot down, and the escort boats exploded in the air.

This can no longer be described as heavy casualties.

Survivors, one in a hundred.

Moreover, he still had a broken limb and an arm, and his life was short.

Yin Zhuo looked at the believers of light floating on the sea, his eyes full of heartache. Every believer trained by Lord God is the "property" of Guangming City. They can die, but they cannot die so worthless... Guangming City paid a huge price for this ice sea operation.

What he couldn't accept the most was seeing the Central City Nagano fleet evacuate intact.

"Yin Zhuo..."

Not far away, where the main boat of the Source Tower fell, a dry sound suddenly sounded.

The commander-in-chief dispatched from Central Continent this time is Meritz, a famous student from Holy Cross College who was awarded the title of "Giant Moon" by the Upper City Council.

"Melitz, are you okay?"

Yin Zhuo quickly rushed over to check the injury.

[Ju Yue] was very unlucky. In the last salvo, in order to protect the main boat, his whole body was pierced by laser beams. Even though he had strong mental power to repair the wounds, his life breath was still fading... But for the title ban Generally speaking, these injuries would not cause death immediately, so Yin Zhuo quickly unfolded the holy light to protect him.

What Guangming City is best at is the "healing technique".

"I...it's okay."

Meritz smiled. He looked at the whirlpool where the storm had dissipated, and murmured: "I didn't expect...the ice sea mission was a scam."

Yin Zhuo felt a chill all over his body.

There were probably less than ten people alive, and they began to move closer to where the two titles were.

Although the ice sea has calmed down at this moment, the disaster has not stopped. Those lucky ones who survived the initial bombardment and laser fire still need to face a problem...

They wanted to return, but there were no vehicles here.

"Do you believe that 'ancient civilization' really existed in this world?"

Meritz suddenly asked such a question.

Yin Zhuo raised his head and looked into the distance. The icy sea fog at his fingertips had dissipated, and the shadow of the giant ship protruding from the sea had completely disappeared.

From beginning to end, they never saw the face of the "enemy", let alone an "extraordinary life"...

There is no doubt that the advance team will be completely wiped out.

The fleet also suffered a major blow.

"Did you see it?"

"This is...a conspiracy."

Meritz struggled to speak out in the holy light: "The conspiracy against the Tower of Source and the City of Light..."

This sentence made Yin Zhuo, who was in a trance and confused, wake up instantly.

Yes.

The dedication of the Church of Storms is just a prelude. The God of Storms concealed such important information in order to lure the Five Continents Fleet to set off together. For this purpose, the Holy City will use any means.

But take a step back and think about it.

Is it possible that the unscrupulous one is not limited to the Holy City?

"I suspect that Nanzhou Holy City has joined Nagano and Central City..."

Meritz stared at Yin Zhuo seriously. He squeezed the palm of the fourth elder of the temple and said word by word: "Everything that happened in Binghai today was no accident."

…

…

"One of our own?"

These three words Wei Cheng said were quite funny.

Osmond and Gu Nanfeng had already counted the number of people, and the two of them personally finalized the list for this southward mission.

The pioneer team returned with full strength.

Under such circumstances, where can one of our own pop up, like a god, controlling the [Ice Sea Ruins] and beating up the City of Light and the Tower of Source?

This is very unreasonable.

But...this is the only explanation.

"That's right, we encountered some trouble at [Ice Sea Ruins]..."

Wei Cheng briefly described what happened in the ruins.

At this point, the existence of the black-haired evil spirit can no longer be concealed. It is better to explain the incident, so that the two commanders can discuss the response and how to deal with the subsequent situation after returning to the Five Continents.

Just for previous safety reasons.

Wei Cheng omitted many details, such as the "evil ghost" who healed his hands... In his mind, this seemingly vicious evil ghost must be an old friend of Dongzhou or Beizhou.

Maybe this is the "backup" arranged by the top management?

"..."

Wei Cheng quietly talked about the snowfield trip and the incidents that the advance team encountered.

Osmond and Gu Nanfeng were silent for a while after listening, and the entire spiritual conference room fell into absolute silence.

Forget about this audience.

When they first encountered the "black-haired devil", the members of the vanguard were also confused, and it took a long time for them to regain their composure.

"Are you sure... that the so-called 'evil ghost' single-handedly killed the Giant Deer Saint and the promoted Black Tortoise Divine Envoy?"

Lu Zhe, deputy head of the active investigation corps, sounded surprised.

The giant deer saint has average strength.

But the Black Turtle Divine Envoy is no ordinary person. Once such a super genius is promoted, he is not weak even if he is banned.

At the title level, if you want to go one-on-two, it is much more difficult than level four!

What's more, these two titles also used the [authority] given by the God's Throne, [Cloud Mirror] plus [Tide], which is another big killer weapon!

"I am sure."

There was no need for Wei Cheng to speak this time.

Zhong Fan, the leader of Dongzhou's advance team, spoke up, "We saw with our own eyes... the battle was fierce. In the end, the 'black-haired evil ghost' bathed in blood, cut the giant deer in half, and then cut off the black turtle's head. Head.”

"Why have I never heard of such a powerful combat power before..."

Lu Zhe looked solemn.

Looking at the five continents, there should not be many extraordinary people of this level.

But he has never remembered such a number one person.

What kind of black-haired devil is unheard of!

"Brother Nanfeng, is this a back-up plan set up by your Dongzhou team?" Lu Zhe looked towards the conference room.

"No……"

Gu Nanfeng shook his head and said frankly: "I don't know this so-called 'black-haired evil ghost', and there is no such a number one person in Dongzhou."

Wei Cheng and Zhong Fan looked at each other, their expressions becoming strange.

Wei Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this an arrangement from the top management?"

"Arrangements from high-level officials..."

Osmond smiled helplessly and asked: "If the high-level officials really made such an arrangement, as for being plotted by the Church of Storms, don't forget the first round of bombardment of [Ice Sea Ruins]. We were also targeted. If it weren't for the protection The shield is strong enough, and at least half of the fleet will be lost.”

"Who is this person?"

High-level officials from the two continents looked at each other.

Wei Cheng looked at Zhong Yuan calmly. The latter stopped talking after entering the conference room. As for all the details of this operation, he remained silent.

"..."

Wei Cheng sighed softly in his heart. Among the details he concealed, there was Zhong Yuan's strange reaction.

he knows.

This guy probably guessed something.

But Zhong Yuan didn't say anything, so it was hard for him to ask in person.

"The problem now is the pressure we may encounter when we return to the Five Continents... In the ice sea mission, we had no casualties, and the fleets of the Tower of Source and the City of Light were all destroyed."

Luo Yu spoke with a distressed look on his face: "It's hard to explain."

Osmond and Lu Zhe also fell into thinking.

"Just go back, no need to explain."

A faint voice sounded in the conference room.

Gu Nanfeng said calmly: "Are we the ones who initiated the 'self-destruction' and caused the [Ice Sea Ruins] to attack?"

"...No." Luo Yu replied subconsciously.

"Then what explanation do we need? We are also the victims in this incident." Gu Nanfeng said: "According to the truth of this incident, what really needs to be explained is the Church of Storms who caused the attack. They are the ones who provoked the dispute. That side."

Luo Yu immediately said: "But Guangming City and Source Tower will be furious and think this is a conspiracy."

After Luo Yu opened his mouth, he immediately understood what the young master meant.

The truth is meaningless.

In Dongzhou's eyes, Dongzhou is the victim.

But the Tower of Source and Guangming City would not think so... because Dongzhou had zero casualties!

"So explanations are useless."

Gu Nanfeng calmed down and said: "What if the wish of the Tower of Light of the Source is fulfilled and this really becomes a conspiracy... so what?"

This time, it's not just Luo Yu.

Everyone understood the deeper meaning of Gu Nanfeng's words.

"In this incident, the only victims were the cloud ship fleets of the City of Light and the Tower of Source."

"The Church of Storms has long been prepared to lose everything—"

"They don't care about their casualties because in their plan, all members of the Five Continents Fleet will be destroyed in the [Ice Sea Ruins]."

"Now we are back alive."

"Then the 'self-destruction' of the Church of Storms... is not a conspiracy, but also a conspiracy."

Osmond spoke slowly, his one eye flashing with admiration, looking at Gu Nanfeng opposite: "CN021, as expected of you... You want to use this 'Ice Sea Incident' to officially divide the five continents into clear camp."

Five continents, two major alliances.

As for the layout of the two thrones at the top of the table, Osmond and Gu Nanfeng can actually vaguely guess it. These two thrones are brave and ruthless people who are good at fighting. They will never be willing to be suppressed by the cooperation of the sky and the light. , so the "merger" in these years is to accumulate strength. In these years, rumors of war between gods have repeatedly caused a stir.

But everyone knows it.

Fight.

Dongzhou and Beizhou will suffer——

Even if they merge, they still lack some strength.

If you want to win, you have to kill one of the Gods first... The big shots who have been close to the two Gods in recent years, and who are truly at the apex of power in the two continents, have vaguely guessed some signs.

If the Queen and Baizhu were to take action, then the one most likely to be killed would be Storm.

Nothing else.

Nanzhou is the weakest!

But looking at it from another perspective, if "Storm" can be pulled into one's own camp, the same effect can be produced.

"Dividing camps is not that simple."

"Just taking advantage of the situation and embracing the Church of Storms is the best solution in the current situation."

Gu Nanfeng looked neither happy nor sad: "Now that the ice incident has evolved to this point, all we can do is negotiate with the Holy City and express the attitude of Nagano Central City. As for whether this matter will ultimately succeed or not, it is not up to us."

"If City of Light and Tower of Source say this is a conspiracy."

"So……"

"This is the conspiracy."
