Chapter 790: Chapter 471 Cover_2
"Swish!"
The next moment, starting from beneath her feet, Mill gradually became ethereal, as substantial brilliant spiritual power swiftly spread out from around her body.
Buzz—
The next moment, the diamond-shaped crystal core of the Transmission Array emitted an almost imperceptible hum, instantly spreading intricate pale golden pathways from the base, eventually winding and connecting to the low triangular base pillars.
By then, the Transmission Array was completely assembled.
Mill’s expression lightened slightly. After briefly checking and finding no abnormalities, she turned to the Wizards around her and said,
"Ten minutes left, stay alert. Once the time comes, I’ll activate the Transmission Array."
"When the Wizards responsible for the Expanding Wall plan have finished building the Witch Array, our mission will be declared complete!"
Minutes ticked by.
Sizzle.
The molten rock that was Mar had been completely eradicated, and the remaining blue water merged into Mill’s body, her pale face flushing slightly.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
Crackle!
"What is that!?" Yeats suddenly exclaimed in a hushed tone of shock.
The Wizards followed his gaze to the western, dark Sea Domain, where suddenly a dazzling golden light column, swirling with lightning, rose up!
"Someone has prematurely activated a Transmission Array!" Mill froze, then made a swift decision, pulling a precious World Origin from her Storage Ring while shouting,
"We must activate our Transmission Array too, keep watch over the area for me!"
As she spoke, she gently tossed the World Origin, silently reciting a Spell.
The World Origin, hovering in mid-air, gradually drifted towards the core of the Transmission Array and then quietly merged.
The next moment.
Buzz—
The central diamond-shaped crystal of the Transmission Array slowly began to rotate, brewing a terrifying fluctuation.
Crackle!
Moments later, a dazzling golden light column suddenly rose from the center of the Transmission Array!
As if signaling the start of something, numerous golden light columns began to rise one after another from the Sea Domain!
"Burn Island, Latis Island, Galces Island, Stern Island... and Essa Island." Colin watched the successive light columns lighting up, quietly counting in his heart, "Along with Lanshengxi Island where we are, six of the Southern Seven Islands have activated their Transmission Arrays."
He suddenly looked toward the east, an inexplicable anxiety in his heart: "Only Barrena Island, the one closest to Lanshengxi Island, hasn’t activated their Transmission Array yet."
"Divine Believers are coming, guard the Transmission Array!" Mill suddenly called out sternly.
Behind her, below the golden light column, a large pale blue Transmission Gate quietly appeared.
Following Mill’s line of sight, several Divine Believers clad in golden robes were rapidly approaching!
Colin focused his gaze and recognized the three patrol believers they had just passed by!
However, they now looked markedly different from before, a unique fervor evident on the faces of the three patrol believers.
They looked at Colin and the others, already revealed under the influence of the golden light columns, their faces grotesque, as if they had encountered some irreconcilable enemies!
"Kill all these Wizards who are harmful to our Lord!"
Swish!
The short plump believer fired a scorching beam first.
Colin had no time to worry about the situation on Barrena Island anymore and prepared to confront the enemy.
However, before the beam even reached them, Ryden beside him snorted lightly.
Crack!
Three bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, instantly turning the three believers into three charred corpses devoid of sound!
"Don’t let your guard down. Once the Divine reacts, more believers will come to attack," Mill instructed sternly.
Seemingly sensing something, she suddenly turned to look at the Transmission Gate behind her.
The giant pale blue gate suddenly rippled like water waves.
A group of about ten First Rank Wizards walked out first. They seemed generally young, some even rather juvenile.
As they stepped out, many of the Wizards were momentarily stunned by the majestic light columns and the powerful presence of Colin and the others.
But soon, they reacted, slightly bowing to Colin and his companions with well-trained manners and then walked over to the Transmission Array, skillfully beginning their spell-casting.
Then, rows upon rows of wizards continued to emerge from the massive Transmission Array.
Their faces varied, as did their genders and ages, but most of them were First Rank Wizards. At least, among the dozens of wizards who were appearing, Colin saw less than ten who were Second Rank Wizards.
All of this may sound complex, but from the activation of the Transmission Array to the emergence of the group of wizards, only a few dozen seconds had passed.
Aside from the three patrol believers nearby, the rest of the believers hadn’t even had time to react.
Renlai Square maintained a temporary silence, as if the eve of a storm were about to arrive.
Colin vigilantly watched the eastern side of the square he was responsible for.
However, at that moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat – an inexplicable terror climbed into his mind, and he instinctively raised his head to look towards the eastern sky!
Boom!
Sound like thunder bellowed from the clouds, and the grey-black mist churned. Suddenly, a huge arm enveloped in white light reached out from within, its palm aimed at a certain spot in the sea below.
Swoosh!
Following that, a brilliant golden light descended from the sky, landing somewhere in the sea!
Although the exact point of impact was unclear, Colin intuitively felt it must have been Barrena Island!
"Ugh!"
The next moment, a muffled grunt suddenly sounded from above the clouds, and the pale white arm quickly retracted.
Crack!
Then, a seventh golden pillar wreathed in lightning rose from the east!
’Indeed, the impact point must be Barrena Island... Could it be that the huge pale white arm was the handiwork of a Supreme Councilman?’
’Is this the contingency plan for this operation?!’
"Attention, new Divine Believers are approaching!" Mill suddenly called out loudly!
Colin suppressed his conjecture and focused on the confrontation!
Before the three patrol believers charged, they had clearly relayed information.
The newly arrived dozen or so Divine Believers said nothing, their faces marked with fanaticism as they attacked!
Instantly, Divine Arts flew around, the dazzling firelight illuminating the entire golden Renlai Square!
Yet, a Fourth Rank Wizard, along with five Third Rank Wizards, formed a powerful force regardless of where they were.
These believers, their highest strength only that of a Bishop, despite their fierce and fearless nature, were merely moths to the flame.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
Under Mill’s instruction, Colin firmly guarded the eastern position.
During a moment’s respite, he suddenly turned around, surprised to find that about three hundred wizards had gathered behind him!
The originally small Transmission Array had also been visibly expanded several times over, and the golden pillar above seemed to have thickened as well!
"Everyone, hold on a bit longer; once the Solid Wall Witch Array is formed, we can retreat!" Mill floated in mid-air without making a move, instead quietly restoring his Magic Power while holding a Magic Stone.
"Damned wizards!" Suddenly, a swish of wind came from behind.
Bang!
Colin turned around, casually waved a large force field hand, and smashed a Second Rank Bishop rushing towards him into a pulp, like swatting a fly.
Crimson blood meandered out, soaking into the golden brick square underfoot.
At that moment, Colin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quietly looked towards the center of the island!
In the dim night sky, a golden streak of light was rapidly flying towards this location!
Behind him, Mill’s face grew stern; he put away the Magic Stone and stopped the state of restoring Magic Power.
That golden streak of light seemed distant, but its speed was extremely fast, arriving in front of them in just an instant!
The flame light dissipated, revealing a handsome middle-aged man with golden hair and golden eyes, dressed in a luxurious golden robe. His fingers, neck, and even forehead were covered with various extravagant ornaments, dazzling and extremely lavish.
Yet, despite his glittering appearance, the man’s demeanor was remarkably indifferent:
"My lord has already learned of your purpose, wizard. If you beg for mercy now, I might still spare your lives."
A mighty aura surged with his words, like a tidal wave, causing Mill to unwittingly pale in complexion.
The newcomer was actually a Pope?!
