Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 986: No. 9

Anti-gravity technology gradually matured 320 years ago, and thus, the first Air Fortress was born 289 years ago: the "Glorious" of the West Continent.

Today, Air Fortress has undergone three technological iterations, becoming the unique air hegemon. Once any force is unable to manufacture an Air Fortress, it will gradually fall behind like Koshima, its resources exploited.

However, this year, first He Jinqiu pierced the Silver with a sword, and then Hyakumegami cut the black Air Fortress layer by layer like cutting a cake.

Whoever can single-handedly confront the pinnacle of contemporary human technology will surely leave a strong mark in the history of Metahumans.

Shendai Yunluo made a sacrifice, thinking, "What time is it? They are still laughing."

Shendai Yunluo softly said, "Go, you are meaningless here. This is not a battle you can interfere with."

Luo Wanya turned around, dragging Muto Taka and Takahashi Ryosuke. As the two Shendai retainers struggled and fell, Luo Wanya dragged them by their wrists and continued to run.

The aged King took a palm-sized black box from his black robe sleeve, opened it, and used his index and middle fingers to scoop out a bit of black ointment.

Shendai Yunluo gathered all the Shikigami around him.

But King Roosevelt, ignoring everyone, dodged all attacks and came before him, as if the path the other was about to take was predetermined by fate, a path he was bound to reach. Fate Weaver thought, no matter the wind and rain, no matter the mountains collapse, he would definitely arrive unscathed.

The aged Fate Weaver King, using the last gleam of his life, personally came to the battlefield with a terrifying plan.

His old, wrinkled fingers firmly passed through the gap between the attacking Shikigami, applying the black ointment to Shendai Yunluo's blind eye sockets. Shendai Yunluo felt he could not avoid it, as if no matter how he dodged, the other's finger would surely reach him.

Fate Weaver!

This is Fate Weaver!

The next moment, Shendai Yunluo froze in place, and the Hyakumegami above the sky stopped attacking! He seemed to have lost his mind!

It was the black ointment at work!

West Continent Forbidden Artifact, Lost Paradise!

Containment conditions, usage method: Put the eyes of a Metahuman into the black box. After 24 hours, the eyes will turn into black ointment. Apply the ointment to the eyelids of the blind person, which can create an illusion of a paradise where the blind person has never been blind. If the blind person cannot leave the illusion within 24 hours, the host of Lost Paradise will control everything about the blind person.

Moreover, if King Roosevelt wants to control Shendai Yunluo, he needs to first put a pair of A-Class Metahumans' eyes into the Lost Paradise black box to make this black ointment.

East Continent uses the Forbidden Artifact Marionette to control others, and West Continent also has one.

Many people would think its conditions are very harsh—the level of the eyes used to make the black ointment must be very high, and the person being controlled must also be blind in both eyes.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to meet the containment conditions of this Forbidden Artifact.

But Qing Chen can exploit bugs, and so can they.

Xiao San once controlled a Mantis swarm and discovered hundreds of corpses without eyes in the underground palace beneath the imperial palace. At the time, Xiao San was startled by the corpses, not knowing what they were for.

In fact, those corpses were all controlled underground palace guards.

This is a very cruel control technique. The Roosevelt royal family first gouged out the eyes of these people to create the blind, and then used the victims' own eyes to make the ointment. The royal family did not lose anything but gained a loyal underground palace guard.

Now, King Roosevelt seems to have known that Shendai Yunluo would gouge out his own eyes. He brought the prepared Lost Paradise ointment to precisely control Shendai Yunluo.

Exchanging half an air fleet for a Hyakumegami who is almost invincible in contemporary air combat is certainly worthwhile.

King Roosevelt picked up Shendai Yunluo and turned to leave. The drones and fleets besieging Hyakumegami in the sky also dispersed. Hyakumegami's nimble white figure floated in the air, standing quietly.

He believed that Shendai Yunluo could not escape Lost Paradise, because since this Forbidden Artifact came into the royal family's hands, no one had ever come out, ultimately becoming only a lonely ghost in the underground palace.

Luo Wanya dragged Muto Taka and Takahashi Ryosuke, panting, running through the mountains and fields. He had already seen the Qing Family fleet in the distance, and countless drones!

Luo Wanya excitedly shouted, "Quick! Quick! Shendai Yunluo is in danger, go save him!"

But the distance was too far, and the people in the fleet did not notice him.

Luo Wanya gritted his teeth and continued to run.

On his run, he saw a woman in sackcloth with a strange six-eyed crow on her shoulder.

The woman came from the direction of Sword Gate Pass and passed them.

She walked very slowly, but with each step, she appeared tens of meters away, instantly reaching behind Luo Wanya.

Luo Wanya looked back in astonishment. Wasn't this San Yue from the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal?

Why did she come? Was it because there were Metahumans who had fallen here, so she came to contain the corpses of the Metahumans?

San Yue carried a long, rectangular cloth bag, continuing to walk towards the battlefield without looking back, "Leave quickly."

"Are you here to contain Shendai Yunluo?" Luo Wanya asked.

San Yue took a hawthorn from her sleeve and fed it to the six-eyed crow, which only closed three eyes. As she walked, she replied, "Shendai Yunluo isn't dead yet, I'm here to kill."

Saying that, she took the linen bag from her back, took out two sections of threaded steel, twisted them together, forming a shining silver spear.

"Okay, okay!" Luo Wanya continued to drag Muto Taka and Takahashi Ryosuke, running wildly. On the way, he saw Li Dongze, Ye Wan, and Lin Xiaoxiao!

Everyone smiled and greeted him, but they did not stop!

These people... were all here to save Shendai Yunluo!

Therefore, the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal had fully participated in the battle, no longer remaining neutral!

Luo Wanya suddenly realized that the battle was not over yet. King Roosevelt could see fate, and the Old Master on Ginkgo Mountain could too!

King Roosevelt carried Shendai Yunluo walking through the mountains. An Airship was already waiting for him ahead.

He suddenly stopped, shifting slightly to his left.

A spear flew past his ear, accurately hitting the Airship not far in front of him.

The spear was like a missile, blowing the Airship to smithereens!

King Roosevelt looked back at where the spear came from. San Yue was beckoning towards the void, and the spear returned!

"She calculated the time based on my God's-eye view; she came prepared." King Roosevelt said with a smile.

San Yue didn't understand English, so she frowned and asked, "What bird language is he speaking?"

Li Dongze's hesitant voice came from the woods behind, "I don't understand either…"

Ye Wan: "I don't understand."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Me neither."

At this time, Shendai Yunluo, whom King Roosevelt was carrying, translated, "He said... you calculated the time based on the God's-eye view, you're trying to kill him."

A cold light appeared, Shendai Yunluo pulled out a dagger and stabbed at him. However, before his dagger could reach the other's side, the aged King had already kicked him away. Shendai Yunluo rubbed his waist and stood up, "There must be footprints on my clothes… these clothes are quite expensive. However, I can't see now, out of sight, out of mind. It's really not easy to try to plot against a Fate Weaver. I really want to have this kind of preemptive ability."

King Roosevelt wondered, "Is Lost Paradise useless to you?"

"Of course," Shendai Yunluo smiled, "Perhaps you only use it to harm people, so you don't understand its true operating principle."

In Lost Paradise, Shendai Yunluo simply returned to his youth, taking young Kongyu and Yunxiu to Nanluoguxiang to eat dorayaki, to Chang'an Avenue to drink rice wine, and to the courtyard with loquats to steal loquats to eat.

The Kongyu and Yunxiu in Lost Paradise were still young and hadn't tasted these things yet. Shendai Yunluo was like a teenager who had seen a bright sunny day, tucking the sunlight into his pocket, waiting to share it with others.

When the time came, he left Lost Paradise on his own initiative.

Lost Paradise could not trap those who willingly sacrificed their eyes, because they felt no regret.

At this time, Ye Wan, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Li Dongze had formed a triangle, surrounding King Roosevelt.

King Roosevelt smiled slowly, "Can you kill me?"

Shendai Yunluo translated, "He said, you little punks want to kill him?"

Li Dongze frowned, "I think you're translating nonsense, but I have no proof."

"Learned from Qing Chen," Shendai Yunluo said with a smile, "But then again, where is Mr. Li Shutong? He didn't come? If he didn't come, Hyakumegami is trapped in the cobweb barrier now, it seems that just the few of us really can't kill him."

"The Boss has more important things to do, but it's not just us who will kill him, there are others." Li Dongze said calmly.

At this time, among the fleet that had been besieging Hyakumegami in the sky, a lone Airship descended.

In the Airship, several attendants came to the cabin and lifted the lid of a golden coffin, "Fifth Princess, it's begun."

Fifth Princess Wila suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the golden coffin. Strangely, there was another golden coffin beside her.

"Open it, call her up to fight." Wila said.

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the hall manually pushed open the several-ton coffin lid. A girl with a ponytail and wearing a gray Rebellion combat uniform sat up. She leaped out of the golden coffin and said coldly, "I hope the situation outside is as you said, otherwise I'll kill you later."

Wila smiled and didn't mind, "NO.9's temper is still as big as ever. We were teammates in the Virtual Realm."

"I don't need such weak teammates."

Wila followed behind, "Be careful, my father still has a Forbidden Artifact, that's his real killer move."
