Chapter 1159: Diverting trouble to the east
The terrifying speed attribute of 3 million points completely exceeded the limits of Ye Ge's nerve reaction!
"Divine Spell - Time Travel!"
Without hesitation, Ye Ge unleashed a surge of divine power within his body!
Time in the surrounding world was instantly stretched out and frozen!
Adam's lightning-fast movements, slowed down by hundreds of times, finally revealed their trajectory!
Night Song's extreme sidestep!
“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”
Adam's fist grazed his clothes and crashed down! The violent energy instantly vaporized a large section of solid ground where Night Song had just stood, along with the equipment base! Leaving behind a deep crater emitting blue smoke!
Night Song quickly widened the distance again.
"Time-based divine power." Adam slowly stood up from the ground, flicked his wrist, and locked his silver-gray mechanical eyes onto Night Song: "Able to use divine power, holy power, and magical power at the same time, he is indeed an anomaly monster."
Night Song: "..."
"Heh, but I'd like to see how many times you can dodge it." Adam grinned cruelly.
Ye Ge just smiled and said, "I don't have time to play with you. You should explain to my little brother what you have to say."
Adam: "Your little brother?"
“He’s right behind you, turn around and look,” Ye Ge said, holding up two fingers.
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly exploded into a thick black mist!
Countless jet-black feathers shot out from it, accompanied by sharp, piercing crow cries, transforming into a vast flock of crows that covered a large area of space!
Adam's gaze sharpened as he surveyed the churning flock of crows and the billowing black mist: "Trying this? You think I'd fall for it?"
He thought Ye Ge was planning a sneak attack under the cover of the black fog.
This is such a boring tactic.
“Adam!” However, Karl’s solemn voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of seriousness that was barely perceptible.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Adam sensed another divine power and slowly turned his head.
Without warning, the solid ground not far behind him softened and bulged! Like boiling swamp, several streams of quicksand-like soil rapidly converged and shaped...
In the blink of an eye, the earth spirit priest's steady, mountain-like figure "grew" out of the earth.
Along with him, seven or eight other mid-to-high-ranking priests, also dressed in the official robes of the Priests' Palace and exuding a calm and collected aura, emerged from the ground.
'Earth Spirit Priest...'
'They found us so quickly?'
Adam was surprised.
The earth spirit priests and the others appeared before Karl and his companions.
The demi-human scientists were also slightly taken aback when they saw the people in the temple of priests.
The Earth Spirit Priest's eyes were sharp, and he instantly locked onto the enormous black jade disc in the underground chamber that exuded an ancient aura.
There was no way around it; the stone slab occupied the entire wall, it was simply too huge and too conspicuous.
His gaze then swept over Karl and the Gene Company personnel who were standing by in a state of high alert, his voice as cold as the grinding of rock: "Gene Company people... what are you doing here?"
"..."
Karl paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Heh, so it's the Earth Spirit Priest... It's like this, we've discovered a very special Heavenly Prophecy tablet in these ancient ruins of the Evil Nether Clan. As you can see, it's enormous, and its contents are completely different from anything we've found before. We're currently trying to safely unseal it..."
"A new prophecy tablet?" The Earth Spirit Priest went straight to the huge black tablet. His gaze quickly swept over the tablet, and he immediately recognized its special nature. No wonder this place was specially marked on the map of the tablet they had obtained before!
However, after finding the stone tablet, Karl and his team from the gene company did not inform the Temple of the High Priests. Instead, they secretly set up a plan and attempted to decipher it... Their purpose is self-evident!
“Mr. Karl.” The Earth Spirit Priest’s gaze swept coldly over him: “Your Gene Company found a new prophecy tablet but didn’t report it. Instead, you’re conducting excavation work here on your own. Are you planning to move this tablet away without permission?”
“How could that be?” Karl still smiled and said, “The company is always loyal to God. How could we not report finding the stone tablet? It’s just that this stone tablet was sealed and could not be moved. We spent a lot of time and effort to finally break the seal.”
"Hmph." The Earth Spirit Priest looked at the large amount of high-tech equipment and devices set up in the underground chamber, as well as the demi-human scientists, and said, "You've been here for quite some time now. Since you discovered the sealed stone tablet, why didn't you inform the Priest's Hall first before attempting to break the seal? I'm afraid you plan to secretly move the stone tablet after breaking the seal and hide it somewhere no one knows about it, right?"
“…Hehe, Your Excellency, you flatter me,” Karl said.
The earth spirit priest didn't say anything more.
He raised his hand and waved, ordering, "Those under the jurisdiction of the Temple of the Divine Officials, immediately take control of the stone slabs! Prepare to transfer the magic array!"
"Yes, sir!" The eight priests behind him responded in unison, immediately spreading out and quickly taking up specific positions around the huge stone slab.
Eight streams of pure, earth-yellow divine power were simultaneously injected into the ground, and a massive and complex teleportation array of light patterns quickly lit up and spread beneath the stone slab!
The AI mech soldiers around Karl, each wielding a magic-powered gun, turned to look at him, their cold, mechanical eyes flashing red as they awaited orders.
"..." Karl remained silent.
Adam suddenly understood something, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.
Ah, I see...
I initially thought that Night Song's "Great Earthquake" was just a disruptive attack.
It turns out that he wanted to use the earthquake to guide the earth spirit priest, so that the earth spirit priest could find the source of the earthquake!
The purpose was to divert the blame eastward.
Because Night Song also knew very well that they wanted to keep the prophecy tablet for themselves and did not want the Temple of the High Priests to get it!
'I actually got outsmarted by a human brat, hehehe...'
"The left-side formation is secure!"
"Right-side array node ready!"
"Alright! Divine power resonance, initiate the transfer!" a high-ranking priest in charge of the operation shouted in a deep voice, placing his hands on the core of the magic array and fully activating his divine power!
"Om-!"
The magic circle shone brightly!
However, at this moment.
"Well?!!"
The high-ranking priest in charge suddenly narrowed his pupils to pinpoints! He looked down in disbelief as a large hand covered in a cold, silvery-white mechanical exoskeleton, like an iron clamp, silently reached out from behind him and gripped his throat tightly!
Adam slowly lifted his neck from behind.
High Priest: "You..."
Adam wore an almost cruelly relaxed smile, his five fingers simply clenching casually—
"Crack!"
A sharp, chilling sound of bone cracking suddenly rang out!
