"No. 05, I leave this to you. Let's go into the gate of the sanctuary first."
When Epsilon was mentioned, he just said "I know."
The moment Alpha came into contact with Alexia and the others, his powerful aura let them know that Alpha was very strong and his strength far exceeded theirs.
Alpha, with the help of his hood, nodded to Alexia and the other girls, and walked straight into the gate of the sanctuary.
Jack Nelson hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Wait, the gate to the sanctuary is not accessible to ordinary people."
Epsilon stepped forward, a slime sword condensed in his hand, and laughed:
"We just hope that you will stay here honestly before the gate of the sanctuary closes."
Alexia, Kreya, Jutis, and Rhodes looked at each other, their swords still in their hands, their eyes filled with both vigilance and confusion.
Epsilon's words were like a cold wind, making them realize that they were about to face not only a visitor of unknown identity, but also the huge secret that might be hidden behind the mysterious existence called the "Gate of the Sanctuary".
Of course, they are also members of [Shadow Garden], and do not know these seniors. Moreover, their identities as princesses of the outer world provide the best cover.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
Alexia's voice was filled with unquestionable determination, and her eyes were fixed on the slime sword in Epsilon's hand. Although the sword seemed to be condensed from the monster slime, it emitted a cold light that could not be ignored.
Epsilon smiled slightly, a smile that contained both amusement and disdain:
"Purpose? For little characters like you, knowing too much is of no benefit. However, since you are so curious, I can tell you that we are here to find the truth hidden between truth and lies."
"the truth?"
Kreya frowned, as she keenly grasped the key information in Epsilon's words.
Shangguan Wen told them that the historical truth of the countries on the mainland has long been tampered with by the Diabolos Cult, and true and false, false and true have become one.
"Bald Acting Bishop, Jack Nelson, would you please come with us?"
Jack Nelson, who was named, immediately had a gloomy expression on his face and asked in a deep voice:
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"Of course I want to see the truth inside the Holy Land Gate. Also, your companions have been captured."
As he spoke, Epsilon pointed at Beta, who was pretending to be a captive, and Beta also cooperated in the act.
"Let's go, Baldy."
Even though Jack Nelson was arrested, he still said firmly,
"Executioner, Venom, kill her."
Behind Epsilon, a masked man suddenly appeared with a sword drawn. He first made a feint from behind, then charged straight at Epsilon from the front.
But the coolness only lasted for 3 seconds. The arrogant assassin died in the flash of sword flowers in just a moment.
Epsilon didn't even blink, simply shifting slightly to avoid the fatal blow. A sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth, as if she was already accustomed to such attempts.
"How boring, Bishop Bald Jack Nelson. Your men don't seem to be very capable."
Jack Nelson's face became even uglier. He didn't expect that his ace killer Venom would be defeated so easily.
"go!"
The other [Shadow Garden] escorted Jack Nelson and Beta into the gate of the sanctuary.
Looking at the Epsilon people leaving, Alexia thought these seniors were too rude. They went in without saying hello and didn't even ask them whether they wanted to follow.
Ross said decisively:
“Follow up”
The other members did not greet them because they were worried that there were still people here or there were residual surveillance equipment, which would expose their identities. Only if they followed them into the gate of the sanctuary would they be able to talk.
Under Ross's leadership, Alexia, Kreya, and Jutis took the initiative to jump in before the door to the sanctuary was closed.
After entering, he unfortunately pressed Beta under him.
"Hey, hey, you guys hurry up, it's so heavy!"
Beta said dissatisfiedly, if I didn’t want to hurt my colleagues, I would have punched you a few times a long time ago.
The three Ross girls immediately stood up and apologized, but even after Alexia stood up, she pinched her heart a few times.
"Tsk, it's actually true."
Beta stood up, dusted himself off, and said confidently:
"Of course. My Lord Shadow has been watching my transformation since I was a child, so it must be genuine."
Alexia was about to say something when she heard Alpha say from behind:
"Shut up, we are on a mission here, not a place for daily quarrels. If you want to quarrel, wait until the mission is over. Now that you are here, just follow us."
Chapter 90 The Imprisoned Witch
As they entered the gate of the sanctuary and conducted a deeper investigation, Alpha and his companions discovered that there was a different world here, a scene completely different from the city outside.
Alexia looked at this place with a face full of shock. The Kingdom of Midgar had supervised the Holy Kingdom, but in the process of supervision, they did not find such facilities. Either the Holy Kingdom had evil intentions, or the people who went to supervise were bribed, or in the worst case, they were all members of the [Diabolos Cult].
Alpha walked towards the statue of his ancestor Olivia and asked:
"It is said that the demon Diabolos' left arm is sealed here."
Jack Nelson never tells the truth.
"You'd believe everything based on a rumor?"
Looking at Bald Jack who was refusing to tell the truth, Alpha continued:
"I'm not concerned about Diabolos's left arm. I'm concerned about the Diabolos Cult. Acting Bishop Jack Nelson, could you tell me about it?"
There was an undeniable majesty in Alpha's words, and her eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate Jack Nelson's pretended calm exterior and reach the secrets in his heart.
Jack's face trembled slightly, but he immediately regained his slick demeanor and tried to evade the question with words.
"Intruder, you're such a joke! The Diabolos Cult doesn't even exist. How could they possibly have the ability to build such a massive facility within this Sanctuary Gate? This is complete nonsense."
Jack tried to hide his uneasiness with laughter as he spoke, but his eyes kept flickering, revealing his guilty conscience.
However, Alexia wasn't fooled by his words. She stepped forward, her voice firm and calm, "Nonsense? I previously requested to supervise the competition as the Second Princess of the Kingdom of Midgar, but you said you didn't need me. Isn't this just some dirty, shameful thing going on?"
Alpha took over:
"That's right. Because the truth was hidden and tampered with, Shadow Garden came here to investigate and find the truth."
In front of the statue of his ancestor Oliver, Alpha took off his combat suit and slime disguise, revealing his true face.
It was a face similar to that of the hero Olivia.
"You are? A spirit possessed by a demon? That's impossible. Without the power of the cult, you would have died long ago if you had become the Sons of Diabolos."
Epsilon increased his strength and asked harshly:
"Bald, you do know about the Diabolos Cult. It seems they are quite high-ranking."
Alpha spoke again:
"We, the survivors of your [Diabolos Cult]'s persecution, naturally know the truth about the so-called [Demon Possession]. Let us come together to witness the great battle taking place here!"
[Demon possession], this word brought back unpleasant memories for Alexia, Ross, and Kreya, while Jutis, a visitor from another world nearby, keenly sensed that something was wrong here.
Alpha opened the sealed magic circle and turned the red and black into dark blue.
"Olivia, stop her!!!"
It was too late. A dazzling blue light shone before everyone's eyes, bringing them into a room.
----split line----
On the other side, Shangguan Wen also came to the room of the disaster witch Olga under guidance and easily cut off the shackles that bound her.
"Ah, the long-awaited freedom of a thousand years"
Shangguan Wen simply responded:
"I didn't expect that the person in front of me was the Millennium Witch."
Aurora used her magic to change into an evening gown, stepped on black high heels, and came to Shangguan Wen and said playfully:
"Just kidding. I've been imprisoned here for so long that I've almost forgotten my age. Besides, both you and I want to leave this prison, don't we?"
Shangguan Wen said sympathetically:
"Yes, and do you know how to leave?"
That's right, being bound here for a thousand years and unable to move, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping all on a small chair, even if not tortured with various instruments, one will go crazy after a long time. Shangguan Wen puts himself in his shoes, and he can't do it at the moment.
"Don't look at me like that. I've been unconscious for a long time. It's boring, but not crazy."
The more Aurora said this, the more Shangguan Wen sympathized with her. Not only was she dragged here for the experiment, but she also had to bear an unwarranted stigma.
"Aurora, are you the demon Diabolos?"
Aurora kicked the non-existent stone with her little feet and said with a forced smile:
"Sometimes, they called me that, Devil Diabolos."
Shangguan Wen patted Aurora's shoulder, looked directly into her violet eyes and said:
"So, can you tell me a little bit about yourself?"
"Huh? Are you confessing to me?"
"I have countless Crystal Palaces, but I don't know how far behind you are if you join."
"Tsk tsk, damn scumbag"
"Be Serious"
"Yes, but my memory is completely covered, and only my left arm is sealed here."
Shangguan Wen couldn't help but rejoice:
"Well, humans have really maxed out their talent for courting death, creating a mother they can't control. Fortunately, it wasn't me who was wrong, but the world's thoughts. Otherwise, humanity would have been doomed long ago."
Aurora just smiled and said nothing. She was originally an ordinary person who gained power. Fortunately, she was sealed early. If she had been sealed for a long time, she would have had the idea of destroying the world. She couldn't help but say:
"This prison is a prison of memories built during an ancient battle."
"Huh? A prison of memory?"
“Yes, the prison of memory”
"So how do we leave?"
"All we need to do is destroy the magic core at the center, but if we destroy the core, everything will disappear."
Guan Wen frowned slightly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "The magic core... since this is the only way to leave, we must try it."
Aurora's lips curled up into a playful smile, and she seemed quite satisfied with Shangguan Wen's reaction.
"Yes, your courage is commendable. However, this is not an easy task. The magic core is protected by a powerful barrier and is located in the deepest part of the prison. It is full of traps and guards - they are all clones of the hero Olivia. Of course, there are also other mechanisms that trigger alarms."
"Clones, I have no right to talk about the [Diabolos Cult], I also have an army of androids created using bloodline factors."
Aurora took a few steps back, looking like she was a bad guy too.
"I'm not a good person, but I'm not as vicious as those bastards in the Diabolos Cult. I still have some moral principles."
Thinking of her own life, Aurora sighed and said:
"Well, even if it's just a short period of freedom, I'll accept it. Come on, I'll take you to the central gate."
Chapter 91 Witch Aurora
With Shangguan Wen's company, Aurora talked more along the way. She told her previous story. She was originally just an ordinary noble girl, but was kidnapped by the Diabolos Cult. Not only she was kidnapped, but also other girls whose names she had forgotten. They were all captured and subjected to various inhumane experiments. Aurora had such power, and she became like this during a certain experiment. She could not control her magic power, and her magic power increased wildly, explosively, and vigorously. She changed from a human to a non-human with bat wings, goat horns on her head, and a tail. From that moment on, she became a demon.
Shangguan Wen listened and held Aurora's hand tightly. Although Aurora said it lightly, her eyes would not lie. There was sadness, confusion, hatred and so on in them.
Shangguan Wen held Aurora's slightly cold yet still soft hand, wanting to pass on his warmth and strength to her, trying to soothe her past pain. "Aurora, those dark days are over. You are no longer alone. I am here with you, and I will face the future with you, no matter the storm or the hardship."
Shangguan Wen's voice was gentle and firm, and every word he said was like the warmest sunshine in spring, trying to melt the frost in Aurora's heart that had solidified due to the past.
Aurora looked up at Shangguan Wen. Her eyes, once dimmed by pain, now seemed to light up. She smiled softly. Though it still held a hint of bitterness, it was filled with hope and trust for the future.
