Infernal Artist

"must go?"

"Yes, it's not just revenge - although the emperor was held back by the people of the Supervisory Committee, I guess he still has a back-up plan... I don't want it to escape, it will become our nightmare."

"That--"

"Wait for me outside the border."

"I know so little...it's so shameful. I will definitely be able to help in the future."

…

the other side.

Spaceship No. 8.

The believers were closing their eyes and concentrating when they suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking.

In the cockpit, someone immediately went to check the situation.

"what happened?"

The bishop asked without raising his head.

A uniformed humanitarian said:

"Dear Bishop, the glass in the toilet is broken - please don't worry, we have emergency measures and are remediating it."

The bishop continued to look at the map in his hand and gestured to the two believers beside him.

The two stood up and went to the toilet to take a closer look.

Sure enough, shattered glass fell to the floor, and the strong winds were blocked by emergency defensive air barriers.

A staff member was quickly replacing the glass.

"Why does the glass shatter out of thin air?" a believer asked.

"There are many reasons, including air flow, temperature changes, hitting birds, or other reasons. Don't worry, it will be replaced immediately." A staff member said.

The two believers looked at each other and nodded.

As if they remembered something, they nodded to another person standing aside.

"no problem."

That person also said.

So they came out of the toilet.

The three believers returned to the bishop together and whispered: "It is normal for glass to break. The remedial measures have been completed. There is nothing abnormal."

The bishop put down the map, stood up and looked around.

All the congregants were praying with their eyes closed.

everything is normal.

The bishop nodded with satisfaction, sat down again, and said, "Have the arrangements for the reception work in St. Thomas' City been completed?"

One of the three believers said:

"Everything has been arranged. As soon as we arrive, someone will come to pick us up."

The second person said: "We will drive the fastest vehicle and cross the border within ten minutes. The next thing will be all under your command."

A third person said: "They are right."

The bishop said: "Very good. I'm not very proficient in geography. While we still have time, let's study the map again and see what kind of location is best."

"You are right." The two believers said together.

The two sat down together with the bishop.

They seemed to have forgotten the third person, and the third person was nowhere to be found.

The bishop reached out and touched it, and suddenly found that the map next to his seat was missing. He was surprised.

"on the ground."

"Oh, it floated down."

The bishop picked up the map.

——Everything about this map remains unchanged, even some of the marks were drawn by the bishop himself.

The bishop began to discuss the site selection with the two men.

same moment.

Outside the airship.

A little girl clinging to the outer wall of the airship listened silently for a moment and said softly: "Yes."

She swayed, soared into the sky from the outer wall of the airship, turned into a stream of light, and quickly disappeared into the sky.

…

The airship arrived at the airport.

Under the leadership of the bishop, all the believers quickly got off the airship.

"We don't have much time!"

cried the bishop.

The person in charge said: "Don't worry, it only takes about ten minutes to reach the border!"

The bishop nodded, led everyone to board a long row of vehicles that were already waiting, and left.

Seven or eight minutes later.

The convoy arrived at a deserted road.

"stop!"

the bishop ordered.

All vehicles came to a slow stop.

He jumped off the carriage, looked at the map in his hand, and came to the sign ahead.

I saw a line of eye-catching characters written on the sign:

"Danger!"

"You're about to cross the border."

"Ahead is a wilderness infested by devils, please don't come near."

The bishop looked at the map and then around him.

That's right.

The map and signage match perfectly.

It's here.

This is the border!

The bishop's face showed a look of joy and he said loudly:

"Well done everyone, earlier than expected!"

All the believers said in unison:

"Praise the Nine-Winged Fallen God!"

The bishop said loudly: "Despite this, we still can't be careless. Come with me. We have chosen a place, which is in the open space three hundred meters ahead!"

Everyone moved quickly and quickly crossed the border. It only took a few minutes to reach the open space.

——This is no longer the territory of the empire.

"There are still seven minutes, it's almost too late - let's start immediately!" said the bishop.

Several believers immediately took out pieces of metal that had already been engraved with runes.

They spliced ​​these metal pieces together to form a circular summoning rune array, and carefully placed it on the ground.

Another three minutes passed.

The last four minutes remain.

The bishop became nervous and shouted: "Start the reverse summoning of the Lord of God. We must summon him here, immediately!"

Everyone stood outside the rune array one after another and began to chant spells quickly.

Soon, the summoning rune array began to emit a faint light.

Two minutes left.

Caught up!

Hundreds of thousands of miles away, on the top of a barren mountain.

The emperor looked coldly at an old man and a woman opposite.

"You drag me here, is there a way for you to escape from the stagnation of time and space here?" he asked.

"We can leave at any time." The old man said with a smile.

"Very good, it seems that I can no longer escape - I will remember you, and this revenge will be avenged sooner or later." The emperor said.

"You're going to be trapped here, and you're still so arrogant?" a woman laughed.

The emperor's lips twitched slightly and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

The next moment.

A halo of light suddenly emitted from his body.

The old man was startled and lost his voice: "Too bad, he used the soul sacrifice method!"

"Damn it!" the woman said regretfully.

"You two, sooner or later I will eat you, but now I have to leave." The emperor said with a sarcastic face.

The woman gritted her teeth, as if making a decision.

But I saw the aperture changing rapidly, opening up the void——

Suddenly, the void closed again.

The aperture still surrounds the emperor——

But he didn't teleport away.

last minute.

The emperor stood there with a look of confusion on his face.

There was an eerie silence.

The woman suddenly laughed:

"Hahahaha! It seems there is something wrong with your arrangement!"

"There's no time, let's go." The old man urged.

"It seems that it can no longer leave this country, so I don't have to spend too much power to stop it... I finally avenged the tree spirit!" the woman said in relief.

They turned into two streams of light and disappeared in an instant.

The emperor stood there.

He slowly looked into the void around him.

Gusts of wind blew by, and dead leaves were flying all over the sky.

Gradually, the leaves began to freeze in mid-air.

——The empire’s time and space stasis has begun!

The emperor was expressionless and murmured: "It's too naive... But this is just right, you won't pester me anymore..."

He recited a spell.

In an instant, the halo rotated again.

The fluctuations in space occur again.

The void opens to both sides.

The emperor flashed lightly and disappeared into the void.

Still this minute.

Outside the city of St. Thomas.

That clearing.

Liu Ping's hands continued to shine.

"You're too harsh." He said calmly.

"Isn't this a little nervous?" Andrea said.

"I'm complimenting you." Liu Ping said.

"Huh? Oh!"

Andrea cheered.

Opposite the two of them, in the open space hundreds of meters away——

Everyone, including the bishop, fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

Without the care of the believers, the rune array has gradually become dim.

Andrea sighed:

"The special reverse summoning formation for the soul - no wonder it is so secretive, without even a single ripple."

"If no one cares about the summoning array, can it still come?" Liu Ping said.

suddenly.

That rune array once again emitted a strong light.

Andrea grabbed Liu Ping's arm and said: "It is forcibly sacrificing the souls of all believers - it is coming!"

The words fell.

The void opened, and the emperor's figure gradually appeared in the circle of light.

The emperor saw Liu Ping at a glance.

"Level 7 knight? Are you the one who ruined my summoning ceremony?" the emperor asked.

Liu Ping smiled and said, "It's me. Originally, I was going to kill all your followers, but then I thought, it would be better for you to kill your men yourself."

"Level 7...I will come and eat your soul right away." The emperor showed a ferocious look.

His figure gradually solidified.

The transmission is over!

The world shook.

time up.

The hour is over.

The sequence of time and space stasis is fully activated!

Invisible ripples rushed from a very far away place, completely covering the reverse teleportation array built by the believers.

Not just the teleportation array——

Even everything around him came to a complete standstill.

Frost quietly emerged from the ground and began to freeze everything, causing everything in the world to fall into a deep sleep of time.

The emperor moved with all his strength, but could not move his body.

He whispered:

"It's impossible... they are clearly outside the empire... summoning me..."

Andrea stuck out her tongue and continued: "Sorry, I moved the border sign in advance - in the direction of the empire. In terms of time, they will probably not be allowed to leave the territory of the empire."

Liu Ping threw a map on the ground and took back the "Immortal Rock" into his arms.

"Sorry, there's something wrong with your map. The location we're standing on is outside the border." Liu Ping said.

The emperor remained motionless, his body gradually covered with frost.

"Damn it, those idiots."

He said in a low voice.

"Since you have given your backing to the believers, you have to bear their stupidity." Liu Ping said.

The emperor opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.

But the frost spread very quickly and completely covered him.

Liu Ping looked deeply at the emperor and said seriously: "I finally decided to let you come here to prevent you from hiding and being difficult to find in the future——"

"With you here, I don't have to worry about you running away."

"In the future, I will kill you myself."

"I will avenge you one by one for all the vengeance you have subjected to human beings for countless years. Don't worry, you can't run away."

"Not being able to run away is the most important thing."

"I'm done."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, he took Andrea's hand and turned around to walk deeper into the wilderness.

behind him.

Thousands of feet of ice rose out of thin air, completely sealing the entire human kingdom.

emperor--

In other words, prisoners.

It was frozen in ice, looking angry and confused.
