Chapter 453: About-Turn: Part 1
Visaca Island .
A giant red ring around the island was absorbing the shells flying in from all directions . It did not matter if it was a conventional shell, cruise missile, or dark energy-enhanced shell, they all would vanish into the ring, leaving no trace nor sound .
There were six vulnerable passages around the island . Each passage was guarded by a Sevenlock, a Palatinate . Those who were trying to break in were the Palatinates from all over the world, led by the three mysterious realms .
Almost all of the Palatinates, potentials, and strengths had gathered just for the final showdown . The Heaven’s Spire, Carte Blanche, and families from Olro had deployed at least fifteen Palatinates dashing their strength that they had so secretly hidden for all these years at once . Joined by the other Palatinates from the lesser forces, their number now stood at twenty .
Twenty figures with a powerful force field had assembled at seven different locations, with two or more Palatinates at each spot, launching attacks on the vulnerable circle spots guarded by the Sevenlocks .
Seven blood-red spheres rose from the island-wide magic circles, shielding the seven different battlefields . These were the only support the island’s magic circles provided to the Sevenlocks . The blood-red spheres could boost the healing ability and mental strength of the Sevenlocks .
The Sevenlocks were merely Mi Yue’s volunteers . Not everyone was willing to fight for Mi Yue and his plan . That was why it took only ten minutes for five of the seven battlefields to fall into the invading forces . The Sevenlocks in the remaining two locations, because of stubbornness and unwilling to admit defeat, were beaten to death by the Palatinates . Following the death of the Sevenlocks, the blood-red spheres fall apart . The world had gathered its strength to fight the Sevenlocks . It took them less than twenty minutes before victory was declared .

Columns of light rose from around the islands . The same happened from the mainland to the island . The Palatinates and a few Sevenlocks, who earlier turned around to support the attacking forces, were hailed as the world’s saviors . But they did not care if they were saviors, what was more important was the material benefits that followed .
Deemed Number One among the cult forces, the wealth and resources the Sevenlocks Tower had stashed away were uncountable . If they could defeat Mi Yue and destroy the Number One, this wealth and resources would be theirs .
“Black orchids released in the air, on the ground, in the sea, and in the earth . Blooming flowers were a condensation of blood and snow . There is zhenrui in the stamen . Zhenrui is peaceful, shiny . We water it with our good names and turn our hearts into its fertilizer . My heart is excited, everything is asleep . Forever the misfortune of the dragon heart, light will shine on your soul from the east!”
On a hot platform in the crater of a volcano in the middle of the island, Mi Yue and several black-robed figures were raising their hands in the air, chanting strange runes . As they were at it, circles of dark-blue strands flew out from their bodies . These blue circles were shrouding them to become a large cocoon . All of a sudden, from the inside the cocoon came a dazzling golden light piercing through the wall . The light swept to the left and tore a hole large enough for two persons to walk out at once .
“Mi Yue, give up now! You have failed! Because of this summoning, the entire Sevenlocks Tower has become the enemy of the world . Even a large part of the Sevenlocks who listened to your command has betrayed you!”
A man draped in golden armor with a saber glittering with golden light slowly came through the hole, staring at Mi Yue . Apart from the golden armor, the man had a pair of pure-white wings flapping on his back . He was followed by the elites of Heaven’s Spire: Angel Encarmine, Phantom Angel and others .

Just then, on the other side of the cocoon, an explosion blew a hole as large as several meters out of the wall . Coming out from within were a group of men and women in fine clothes . With them were phantoms of what might look like some strange and overpowering artifacts . They were the ancient elites from the families of Olro .
The leading man was an elite of Hellfire, Duke Peter Hayne . At 300 years old, the man’s appearance had restored to its youthful peak, fingers wearing twenty exotic gemstone rings of different colors . His eyes were dead cold as he cautiously looked at Mi Yue and others .
“We meet again, Mi Yue . ”
“It’s you, kid . ” Mi Yue stopped his chanting and turned to look at the men and women, face calm with a faint smile .
Following the two breaches on the cocoon, the blue and black cocoon looked like an egg, the protective layer of which had been torn apart; it was even more vulnerable now . Palatinates started to tear the cocoon open and surrounded the platform in the crater . Not only that, on the edge of the crater, but Palatinates who were good at magic circle and ritual had also laid down a lockdown circle to prevent Mi Yue and others from escaping .
The defense system of the Sevenlocks Tower crumbled in just half an hour . The last few elites of the Sevenlocks Tower who stood around Mi Yue had stopped chanting the runes, nervously staring at the Palatinates appearing from the surroundings .

The golden-armored, white-winged man, the Angel Encarmine, was the most powerful elite from Heaven’s Spire .
Duke Peter Hayne, the most powerful elites from Hellfire of Olro .
Henxing, the most powerful elite from Carte Blanche, did not reveal himself but hid among the Palatinates . But everyone could feel his oppressive energy .
The Angel Encarmine, Duke Peter Hayne and Henxing were ranked at the top of all Palatinates, at the pinnacle of their strengths . They were at the level of Mi Yue, but somehow, Mi Yue had higher combat strength than the three of them . But by not much . And this was why neither the Sevenlocks Tower nor the three mysterious realms could defeat the other all along .
“You failed in your dirty plot last time . Now you want to do it again?” Mi Yue sneered, casting his eyes around .
“Don’t tell me, as the most powerful man in the Sevenlocks Tower, you are afraid of me! I thought you’d like to say ‘You all come at once, I’m in a hurry’? One Palatinate scoffed .
Standing on the dark-red stone platform, Mi Yue took off his black cloak, revealing his signature hair and golden-crossed earrings . Seeing the faces of the Palatinates, who thought they were going to win this time, he had a faint smile on his lips .
“In fact, that’s precisely what I’d like to say . ”
“Cut the cackle . Kill him!” From among the crowd, a beam of pure-white laser shot out and hit Mi Yue in the face . It happened so fast that no one could see it coming . The beam of laser was too quick for any eyes and nerves to respond . It hit Mi Yue almost at the same time as it appeared .
