Suddenly, a burst of light appeared amid the smoke.
It was like a cold eye, gazing down from above at all the Invokers on the ground.
A tremendous pressure spontaneously emerged. Except for Hilveld, the men in black behind her stepped back, and only Tainaric could meet the eye's gaze, but only for a moment before the Lizardman Prince lowered his head as well.
At the same time, a powerful storm seemed to spread out in all directions from Fenris Isle.
So much so that at Stargate Port, signs of interference appeared on the screens, and many communication channels were left with nothing but static.
Only the channel where Fang Hong was located remained unaffected.
All looked up at this scene.
Fang Hong stared at the eye, which matched exactly the scene he had seen in his Illusion.
"Speak," came a cold voice from the midst of the dark fog, tinged with a hint of chill, "how did you find me, mortal?"
The voice spoke in an ancient language.
Obscure, hard to understand.
But Fang Hong understood the meaning in an instant, as if he had known the language from birth.
He knew he could communicate his thoughts in human language and the other would understand, but he lifted his head and, using the same tone, replied, "I never uncovered your location, Salrutaka, but I knew you had nowhere to turn. I guessed you would not ignore—my question."
"It seems I guessed right."
A Deity.
Fang Hong's Xinsas was simultaneously translated by Sophie into the hall, making everyone hold their breath.
"No way out?" The voice scoffed, "Chosen One, you will never understand our form of life; we are immortal, never experiencing a moment of helplessness. However, I am curious, how do you understand our language?"
Fang Hong certainly did not understand.
But some people were born with understanding.
Naturally, that person was Sophie, and Miss Tata only helped Fang Hong imitate the same mode of pronunciation through the simultaneous translation.
In the channel, Sophie was all the more amazed—she had never seen this sort of Dragon Soul, knowledgeable, calm, and wise, not like a warrior but more like a sagacious Scholar, even possessing an astonishing Language Ability.
At that moment.
The emergency command center's departments were abuzz; it seemed all communications were transmitting the same idea—a living Deity observed at Stargate Port, causing the port to activate instantly, transforming messages into radio waves directed in all directions.
Some entered far distant deep space orbits where various countries' deep space monitoring stations were located.
Others were directly transmitted to Earth, where sunlight was grazing Earth's curve, with the twilight line slowly moving over numerous islands in the Pacific.
It marked the arrival of a new day.
And the last few—
connected to the Stargate, leading to another world.
Up to now, no one had directly observed the deities of Eteliria; they often influenced this world only through indirect means. But at that moment, this young man identified a True God before them.
Though the being had long been in eternal sleep.
Virus unconsciously stepped back, and in the hall, including many military personnel, everyone spontaneously opened their personal devices.
But in a moment, a young military officer by Ambassador Liao's side stood up and sternly warned, "Everyone immediately turn off their communicators! Close all channels, all attendees at the scene must not leave, and the rest should hand over their personal devices. From this moment, I declare the command center is temporarily entering Tier Three status!"
The hall fell silent.
Fang Hong, of course, was unaware of everything that was happening outside, instead he looked upward at the form of the deity, "You might be immortal, but you can be replaced elsewhere in the Star Realm—your divine functions and strength substituting for your original emotions and modes of existence. Once your divine roles are usurped by others, all that remains of you great deities is but a bundle of chaos and unclear thoughts."
"I guess you wouldn't want to become that, would you?"
The mocking tone of the dark fog suddenly tightened, "How do you know these things?" Its voice thundered underground, shaking the hearts of those present.
Sophie had also wanted to ask this question on the channel.
Because she noticed Miss Tata's lips moving, and Fang Hong was merely repeating the other's words.
But how could a Dragon Soul understand all this?
Is this really a Dragon Soul?
"Is it important why I understand these things?" Fang Hong asked, "Let's make a deal, Salrutaka."
Calling a deity by name enraged Salrutaka greatly, yet at this moment it was surprisingly silent.
Inside the Stargate Port, the emergency command center also quickly fell silent.
The military officer glanced at everyone and then sat down.
People took out their terminals one by one and placed them in front of them.
They all looked at Mr. Ambassador in the center of the hall, who watched the screen with a serious expression, motionlessly awaiting Salrutaka's final agreement. It was then that he suddenly realized where the so-called answer from the big boy lay.
It was right here.
But how had he seen all this?
The black fog slowly swirled around, and after a long time, it finally spoke, "What do you plan to do, mortal?"
"Take us to your Sanctuary," Fang Hong replied, "I'll help you stop Toragotos."
As soon as he finished speaking,
a cracking sound suddenly came from the depths of the darkness, a thunderous roar rolling in from afar. Everyone turned their heads and saw in the distance, under the abyss, an isolated island cracking, collapsing, and along with the relics on it, plunging into the bottomless depths.
The entire underworld shuddered to life, booming loudly.
And sand fell like a waterfall from above, occasionally accompanied by the sound of something breaking, and fragments of rock fell from above ground.
Everyone staggered, almost unable to stand, and frantically grabbed at nearby objects to steady themselves.
From the communication channel, the voice of an intelligence officer urgently came through, "Mr. Xiaya, the observation posts near Fenris Isle have detected a massive Ether Fluctuation underground at Fenris; the coordinates should be near you."
The final battle was approaching.
Fang Hong knew it in his heart.
"The Ritual has already begun," he shouted, looking up, "Salrutaka, what are you hesitating for?"
"Follow it."
Salrutaka's deep voice suddenly answered.
The black fog suddenly expanded.
It enveloped the Lizard Warrior Leader and then seeped into him bit by bit. The Lizard Warrior Leader suddenly opened his black eyes, standing rigid like a mummy, slowly turned, and faced a direction.
"It will take you where you want to go," it paused, then chuckled ominously, "I hope you will not regret it."
The Lizard Warrior Leader then stiffly began walking forward.
Seeing this, Fang Hong immediately followed, waving to the others and issuing orders on the channel, "All squads converge on me, Dianmo Ran Qingzhu, where are you?"
"The map coordinates have been sent over," the voice of Dianmo Ran Qingzhu came through the channel, "Boss, please receive."
Fang Hong glanced at it and recorded the coordinates.
"Mr. Xiaya," and at this moment Ambassador Liao finally spoke up, "I'll leave the rest to you—"
Fang Hong nodded, "Mr. Ambassador, your work is equally crucial, please make sure to find Miss Elisa."
Ambassador Liao nodded, "I understand, our people have already reached the vicinity of Saint Peru Valley."
