Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Chapter 203: Reduced to a Plaything, "0-08"

"Despair Lady," in a state of invisibility, was stunned on the rooftop beside Black Palm Street, not even surprised if a "Sailor" demigod happened to pass by.

But the presence of a ritual array here was very strange.

This meant that the person wearing a wizard's robe and pointed hat, operating the array on the street, had prepared in advance.

Such a large array couldn't be drawn in a short amount of time!

And the person operating the array didn't seem very strong, making it impossible to divine "Despair Lady's" actions today. After all, this was a plan of the royal family and the "Saintess." To clearly divine it in advance would require the level of an angel.

From Tris's sudden escape to cooperating with the Aurora Order and carrying out the plan ahead of schedule, it was all decided in the last hour or two, and there couldn't have been any leaks!

Then it was strange indeed. Why would this guy set up an array in advance?

Just as "Despair Lady" couldn't figure out what was going on, she suddenly became shorter and thinner in her invisible state.

Before "Despair Lady" could react, she was only the size of a thumb.

At this moment, a phantom eagle descended from the sky, clawing and pecking at the thumb-sized "Despair Lady."

"Despair Lady" immediately reacted, intending to fight back, but found herself becoming illusory, her extraordinary abilities disappearing.

A female voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "I knew you would use the 'Invisibility' ability."

This allowed Bernadette to better use the ability of "The Emperor's New Clothes." "Despair Lady" would gradually become dull and eventually turn into that non-existent "New Clothes."

However, she wouldn't disappear completely. After a while, when the effect of this ability ended, "Despair Lady" would reappear.

But Bernadette certainly wouldn't give her this chance. "Despair Witch's" dodge was slightly slower, and she was caught by the phantom eagle's claw, losing an arm and gaining a wound on her chest and abdomen that revealed her internal organs.

She instinctively wanted to use "Substitute Technique," but her extraordinary abilities were just like "The Emperor's New Clothes," as if they had never existed!

"Despair Lady" was now somewhat desperate. She felt the suppression from a powerful demigod.

Most importantly, that demigod was prepared, but she was not.

At this time, Audis concentrated on controlling the array, continuing to stir up a strong wind.

The spirituality materials of this array were enough to last for two or three minutes. By then, regardless of whether "Despair Lady" had been killed or not, he would have to leave immediately.

Because at that time, the Night Goddess Church would dispatch "0"-level Sealed Artifacts, and members of "Mechanical Heart" would also be arriving soon.

This was the best time to escape.

… …

In the ancient ruins in the suburbs of Backlund.

Klein tried many methods, but failed to stop Mr. A's ritual.

The channel for the descent of the Evil God had already begun to be established, but Mr. A said fiercely: "These bitch-born witches, is she seducing someone else in this crucial moment again?"

At this time, a large number of unwilling and painful souls were needed to expand the descending channel.

But so far, Mr. A had only received less than three hundred souls!

Those were all weak wanderers, who were already very weak and couldn't withstand any diseases.

The thick fog created by "Despair Lady" still caused many deaths, but so few people were simply unable to support such a ritual.

At this moment, Klein took out the "All-Purpose Key" from his pocket and threw it towards the channel established by the ritual!

… …

Deep underground in the ruins.

Azik's battle with Ince Zangwill continued.

But because Zangwill had forcibly triggered a meteor shower just now, "0-08" had become very restless.

Just as he thought of this, his spirituality suddenly sent a dangerous premonition. He quickly glanced with his peripheral vision. "0-08" had left his pocket at some point and was floating in front of the gray rock wall, frantically writing lines of words:

"In a fierce battle, all kinds of accidents will happen, for example, Ince Zangwill's belt breaks, and his pants fall down."

Snap~

Zangwill's belt snapped, and his pants fell to his ankles, making his movements very inconvenient.

Azik's attack made it impossible for Zangwill to pull up his pants, making this demigod look like a patient who had lost the ability to take care of himself and couldn't pull up his pants.

But "0-08" was still writing this absurd story: "…The fall of the pants did not affect Ince Zangwill's performance, but at this time, an unknown existence…"

Just as it was writing here, "0-08," which looked like an ordinary quill, suddenly trembled violently, as if it felt a terrible power.

Azik and Zangwill, who were fighting, also turned their heads together. Their spirituality made them feel that a terrifying force was descending on the underground of this ruin through "0-08" as a medium.

"0-08" suddenly became well-behaved: "…The priest who watched all this discovered a very special existence. He has strange powers like Sherlock Moriarty.

"In order to temporarily contain Audis Gale…"

At this time, a terrifying and peaceful force descended with "0-08" as the coordinate. Although "0-08" was still writing, the content it wrote was very strange: "Stop him… the priest does not want… Backlund, so 'Military Intelligence Section 9'…, and… the scene…"

In the passage written by "0-08," a large number of blanks appeared. In those blanks, "0-08" did write some content, but it seemed that there was no ink, and nothing was written.

"0-08's" feathers trembled. To it, that was the power of "Secrecy" that existed like a nightmare. In the long years, no matter how hard it tried to write, it couldn't write anything.

Because the content it wrote was judged to be "Secret" and could not appear in this world, so the story it made up had no impact on the real world.

Thud~

"0-08" fell to the ground. At this moment, it really looked like an ordinary quill.

Zangwill recovered from the great fear. It was the first time he had seen "0-08" being affected, and the first time he had seen it so well-behaved.

… …

Ruen Winter County, on a sparsely populated snow mountain.

Deep in the snow mountain, someone built a small church here.

A priest wearing a simple white robe, with a thick beard and a cross ornament, opened his eyes with golden pupils. This was Adam, who was very afraid of Audis.

He said in a flat tone: "'Night' wants to intervene?"

Then he said again: "He has appeared again."

Adam had long guessed that there was a conspiracy between "Night" and "Him."

In the next second, Adam said unhurriedly: "Many people do not want Audis Gale to leave Backlund like this, so the chief of 'Military Intelligence Section 9,' Selt Augustus, and Horamick Haydn, rushed to the scene in advance…"

… …

East End, Black Palm Street.

Audis felt that his spirituality had been consumed a lot, but because he had drunk a potion to replenish spirituality in advance, he could still last for a while.

At this moment, his spirituality sensed something. He turned his head and looked at the rooftop not far away, which suddenly became illusory and opened a door with complex patterns.

The door was pushed open, and Selt Augustus, who looked very refined and wore an expensive suit, arrived at the scene as quickly as possible after receiving Colemond's report.

He had to arrest Audis and try him as soon as possible to determine whether the royal family's plan had been leaked.

But Selt was a little uneasy. He was afraid that the Church of Steam and Machinery would come to snatch the person, so he simply came in person.

His appearance was also a signal. Members of "Military Intelligence Section 9" rushed out to arrest Audis.

At this time, Selt discovered that there were two demigods in an invisible state not far away.

One was seriously injured, and the other was chasing after the victory.

As a former "Sheriff" with "Domain"-related abilities, Selt quickly obtained more information from the surrounding environment. The seriously injured demigod was a "Despair Witch!"

Selt frowned: Are the hidden demigods Audis's helpers? Did Audis come to the East End to stop the king's plan?

In any case, Selt, who knew many secrets, had to save the witch: "Invisibility is prohibited here!"

On the rooftop opposite him, two figures immediately appeared. One was only the size of a thumb, very embarrassed, and the other wore a strange hat. Before he could see her appearance clearly, the hat first became illusory, and she also entered the "Invisibility" state again.

Selt squinted slightly: This is a very powerful Sequence 3.

Powerful enough to directly resist his "Prohibition."

At this moment, Horamick Haydn, wearing a priest's robe, a soft hat, and a pair of huge silver wings behind him, flew quickly from mid-air.

As soon as he stood on the roof ridge, the pair of silver wings immediately folded up and hid under his clothes.

At this time, Colemond had led several subordinates to Audis not far away. The action captain was about to order the arrest, but he saw a terrifying and indifferent look.

The owner of this look was Audis. At this time, he had an unspeakable majesty and a kind of indifference as if he were facing death.

Without a single mistake, a song, a shot, an inner, a tolerance, a look, one by one!

From what he could tell, Klein Moretti could discern that this was not an ability granted by Extraordinary powers, but it possessed a similar awe-inspiring presence.

Audrys glared coldly at the 'Military Intelligence 9' members before him, and said frigidly, "Get out of my way!"

Several of Klein Moretti's subordinates subconsciously retreated.

Klein Moretti immediately used his Extraordinary abilities to counteract the aura emanating from Audrys: "Arrest him!"

Audrys said nothing more, but manipulated the array to send gusts of wind towards the 'Military Intelligence 9' members.

Klein Moretti sensed something was wrong and immediately jumped back to dodge. Because he dodged too hastily, his hat fell off and was instantly sliced into several pieces by the ensuing 'wind blade'.

Most of his subordinates failed to evade and were dismembered by the 'wind blades'.

Two members managed to dodge, but one lost an arm and the other a leg. Even for Beyonders, such injuries were not fatal, but they rendered them incapable of fighting.

As soon as Klein Moretti's feet touched the ground, a new 'wind blade' formed. He quickly raised his hand, using his 'Imprisonment' ability to trap the 'wind blades'.

Then, Klein Moretti was about to use his 'Exile' ability on Audrys, pushing him away from the array.

Plop~

Suddenly, a pea fell at his feet. Before Klein Moretti could react, the pea sprouted and grew rapidly.

Almost instantly, it grew to a height of over ten meters. Klein Moretti stood somewhat bewildered at the top of the beanstalk, and almost instinctively jumped down.

But as he jumped, his hands and feet were entangled by the branches and leaves, hanging him on the giant beanstalk.

Klein Moretti struggled, only to discover that with his Sequence 6 strength, he couldn't break free.

At the same time, the situation between the several demigods changed again.

When Horamic Haydn arrived, Bernadette continued to relentlessly pursue the 'Lady of Despair', but because 'invisibility was prohibited' here, the power of the 'Emperor's New Clothes' was also weakened.

The 'Lady of Despair' quickly fled to a glass surface, hoping to escape using 'Mirror Leap'.

While keeping an eye on the two demigods, Bernadette summoned the 'Magic Mirror'. The 'Lady of Despair' chose a glass surface one kilometer away as the target for her second 'Mirror Leap'.

But when she actually 'leapt', she appeared in the Magic Mirror, returning to Bernadette's presence.

Bernadette snapped her fingers, and the panicked 'Lady of Despair' stiffened and turned into a puppet.

Immediately afterwards, Bernadette's 'Invisible Servant' stepped forward. With both hands, it held the 'Lady of Despair's' wooden head and twisted it off.

The 'Lady of Despair's' body fell from the roof to the ground. The headless body stiffly rose and began to clumsily climb back onto the roof, trying to retrieve its head.

If she failed to retrieve her head after a certain period, she would truly be separated from her body.

At this time, the situation changed. Originally, Zarte and Horamic were wary of each other, each assuming the other had come to snatch the person.

Soon they realized that the demigod who was still in a state of invisibility was Audrys's helper.

So, after a brief exchange of glances, they immediately joined forces to attack this demigod.

Horamic suddenly twisted off the index finger of his left hand. The finger turned out to be hollow, and a pill-sized red ball flew out of the cavity.

The small ball split open in the street, and the surrounding area was instantly covered in red.

The strange thing was that this color was not blown away by the wind, nor did it affect the line of sight. It simply turned the red color into the background in the vision of the people in this area.

And the invisible Bernadette stood out against the red background. Of course, one could still not see the other person's face clearly, only that there was a phantom figure there.

Zarte then raised his hand and said, "She violated the ban on invisibility and must receive the punishment she deserves."

A phantom leather whip with barbs immediately appeared behind Bernadette.

The whip was about to strike, but suddenly stopped.

Zarte was slightly stunned and, after observing for a moment, discovered that the leather whip had actually 'fallen asleep'.

......

Saint Samuel Cathedral.

Archbishop Anthony Stevenson received information about the 'Original Witch' from Earl Hall.

After a moment's thought, all the light in his room suddenly disappeared, as if swallowed by the darkness within the room.

Within the entire cathedral, all the praying believers felt the arrival of night for a moment.

When everything returned to normal, Anthony had already appeared in front of the Chanis Gate at the bottom of the cathedral.

Today, the 'Death Spirit Mentor' Daly Simone was leading the team on duty.

Before she could ask, Archbishop Anthony said in a deep voice: "Prepare yourself, enter the process, I want to awaken a Sealed Artifact."

He was about to awaken '0-17', the only Grade 0 Sealed Artifact preserved outside the Holy Cathedral. Only two high-ranking members of the entire Church knew it was in the Backlund Diocese.

While waiting, partial information about '0-17' appeared in Anthony's mind:

"Number: 17."

"Danger Level: 0, Extremely Dangerous, Highest Priority, Highest Secrecy Level, Not to be Inquired About, Not to be Described, Not to be Spied Upon."

"Sealing Method: The sealing is completed through the cooperation of '1-129' and '1-80'."

"Description: This is not an item."

"This is a living Angel."
