Chapter 1078 The Undercurrents Under the Cloak and the Mad King's Dinner
The air inside the church seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone's gaze was fixed on the enormous dragon's eye outside the window.
His eyes were cold, violent, and devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, the enormous fiery dragon transformed into countless scattered sparks in the air and disappeared.
Three figures slowly descended from the sky and stood silently at the church entrance.
The one leading them was Lin Qiye, who was using the alias "Brown Miles".
He was dressed in a flamboyant black tuxedo, and adjusted his monocle on the bridge of his nose.
A playful smile played on his lips, as if his earth-shattering entrance was merely a lighthearted after-dinner entertainment.
Wu Hen stood half a step behind him expressionlessly, his aura as restrained as an abyss, like a peerless, deadly blade hidden in its sheath.
He Lin, on the other hand, looked weak in the knees and pale, but his back was ramrod straight, perfectly embodying the aura of someone who uses others to intimidate others.
The church was deathly silent.
Those agents who previously considered themselves extraordinary and arrogant now didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Did they come via a portal? Compared to those who rode dragons, this is like taking a slow, old-fashioned train!
“Looks like we’re not late.” Lin Qiye broke the silence in fluent London accent.
He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the surprised and uncertain faces. "This year's gathering is really... simple."
His words caused many people's expressions to change.
simple?
This is Notre Dame Cathedral!
Enveloped in an invisible barrier, isolating from the mortal world, that's incredibly sophisticated, but in your words it's just plain.
A hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the blond man known as the "Child of Light."
He scoffed, "Your Excellency has quite the grand entourage. May I ask which deity you represent?"
Lin Qiye ignored him and walked straight to the center of the church.
At the entrance, an invisible barrier of divine power blocked his way.
"Verification at the Divine Ruins," He Lin whispered a reminder.
"You need to prove your identity as an agent, otherwise you can't get in."
Lin Qiye walked straight past the barrier without stopping, as if he hadn't seen it at all.
"Om-"
The barrier, upon contacting his body, not only failed to provide any resistance,
Instead, it seemed as if it had encountered a king's soldiers, causing it to fluctuate violently and emit a respectful hum.
Lin Qiye passed through without a scratch.
Behind him, Wu Hen passed through without changing his expression, and the barrier fluctuated even more violently than before.
Everyone was stunned.
This divine ruins verification is an access control for others, but for them it's like an automatic sensor door.
How much face does that take?
"Damn it, a bunch of bumpkins." Seeing this, He Lin became even bolder and, cursing, tried to barge in.
"boom!"
He crashed headfirst into the barrier, bounced back, and fell flat on his back.
He Lin: "..."
Audience: "..."
Lin Qiye glanced back at him, shook his head in disgust, and waved his hand casually.
A ray of light fell on He Lin, and the seemingly indestructible barrier immediately opened a door for him.
He Lin slunk up, rubbing his head, and followed them inside, no longer daring to pretend.
This move was even more alarming to the agents present than the dragon-riding entrance they had just witnessed.
Ignoring verification and granting authorization to others so easily? What kind of level of existence is this?
"Just Merlin's agent, putting on airs." A sinister voice rang out from the corner.
Lin Qiye smiled slightly, without looking for the source of the sound.
He simply closed his eyes, and an invisible spiritual force spread out like ripples on water, attempting to probe the backgrounds of the people present.
However, the moment he unleashed his mental power, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest!
"Humph!"
"court death!"
"Get out!"
At least seven or eight equally powerful spiritual forces suddenly attacked from all directions.
With undisguised hostility and murderous intent, it crashed violently into Lin Qiye's consciousness!
It was as if invisible swords were clashing in the air, emitting a piercing shriek.
Lin Qiye groaned, instantly withdrawing his mental energy, his face turning slightly pale.
He opened his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in his azure pupils.
These guys... are more troublesome than I imagined.
Wu Hen noticed his unusual behavior, took a step closer, and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a group of not-so-friendly neighbors," Lin Qiye said casually.
Just then, a sharp alarm rang out without warning from the deepest part of his mind!
【warn!
Patient A-002, 'Gilgamesh,' has gone berserk!
repeat!
Patient A-002's superpowers have gone berserk!
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly shrank.
Oh no! We haven't even sorted things out here, and now our backyard is on fire?
Meanwhile, at the Gods Mental Hospital.
The cafeteria was in a mess.
"Cough...cough..."
The head of the nursing staff, Li Yifei, was gripped tightly by the throat by a large hand that shimmered with golden light.
He was suspended in mid-air, his face turning a deep liver color.
Before him stood Gilgamesh, dressed in a striped hospital gown, his eyes bloodshot, radiating a terrifying, kingly aura.
"Speak! Who sent you! How dare you poison my dinner!"
Gilgamesh's voice was like thunder, making the entire dining hall buzz.
“No…no poison…” Li Yifei managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat.
"Still trying to argue!" Gilgamesh roared, increasing the pressure on his hand.
The caregivers around were trembling with fear and dared not approach.
This is the oldest king, the Hero King Gilgamesh!
When he goes berserk, anyone who goes up to him will die!
Just as Li Yifei was about to be strangled to death, a lazy voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the cafeteria.
"Let go."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Lin Qiye and Wu Hen had appeared there at some point.
Gilgamesh, upon seeing Lin Qiye, not only did not restrain himself,
Instead, he became even more enraged: "It was you! You damned quack! You ordered him to poison me!"
"I told you to let go." Lin Qiye's face turned cold, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The next second, he appeared in front of Gilgamesh and kicked him in the stomach with a simple, unadorned foot.
"boom--!!!"
With a deafening roar, Gilgamesh's towering figure was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
It crashed through the load-bearing wall of the cafeteria and the two buildings behind it, disappearing in a deafening roar and dust.
Li Yifei fell to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing violently.
The entire cafeteria was deathly silent.
All the caregivers looked at Lin Qiye with the same eyes they would give a god.
One kick... and the King of Heroes was sent flying?
Is this the dean? This is more like a humanoid Gundam!
"Cough cough... Dean, Dean..." Li Yifei recovered and tried to stand up shakily.
"Don't move." Lin Qiye waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the huge human-shaped hole in the wall in the distance, his brows furrowed.
Not finished yet.
"Roar--!!!"
A roar filled with boundless rage came from the ruins!
A golden figure, enveloped in a cloud of dust, rushed towards Lin Qiye once again like a falling meteor!
That speed was incredibly fast!
Wu Hen instantly drew his sword and stood protectively in front of Lin Qiye.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
On the second floor of the hospital, the window of a ward suddenly shattered!
A golden, club-shaped phantom, carrying an aura of world-destroying power,
It burst through the window, arriving faster than the last, and slammed hard into the back of the golden meteor!
Two completely different, yet equally violent, golden divine powers collided violently!
"Boom——!!!"
The blinding light instantly engulfed everything, and the terrifying energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact!
The entire mental hospital was shaking violently under this force, as if it would fall apart at any moment!
Lin Qiye squinted and used his hand to shield himself from the oncoming wind and light.
Amidst this chaos and interplay of light and shadow, out of the corner of his eye...
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a shadowy corner in the cafeteria that no one would notice.
There seemed to be a blurry figure standing there.
A pair of eyes, a pair of eyes he had never seen in this hospital before.
They were watching him silently through the raging energy storm.
