Chapter 495: Investigation: Part 1
“Argus! How dare you betray me!”
On the sea surging with Black Tide, the mist of the Black Tide had covered the entire blue sea . The air distorted all of a sudden . A group of white and red figures shot out from the distorted area of air, fighting as they flew in midair . Pale-blue rings of light broke out in the air as if beautiful fireworks at night .
“I’m not your subordinate from the very beginning, Barbabia!”
A man, draped in blue and black armor, was waving a halberd . He single-handedly warded off several opponents in the white camp, which released streaks of blue laser light that looked like some kind of magic .
“Since you say so, we have come to the road of no return . Let us finish it here once and for all!” the armored man said .
At first, he was still worried that the battle would cause turbulence in his world . But this world is strange to him . He did not have to scruple anymore . It was just about time to square it off .
“See?” He broke the weapon of one of them at the speed of lightning, smashing it into dust and light .
“This world is going to end, and the same is going to happen to our world,” he looked up at the gray sky and sighed .
“Shut up! Life and death never have a clear boundary . Destruction and revival have never existed in isolation . I might be a little hesitant in our homeworld . But since we are here, I’m going to kill you even if it means the destruction of this small world!”
Among the figures in white, a man with braided hair slowly put up his hand to motion the other to step back . All men in white stopped attacking and dispersed as if a group of well-trained soldiers .
While the fight was ongoing, the appearance of these men were not apparent . But when the men in white stopped, they obviously were mechanized puppets, with stitching visible at the joints . As if it was done on purpose, all the joints on their bodies had a gap to differentiate the mechanized puppets from the living .

At the beginning of the battle, it was only the man in white, Barbabia, and the blue and black armored man fighting .
“Let me see what you’ve got, then!” The blue and black armored man cocked an eyebrow . The halberd turned semi transparent in his hand as plumes of black gaseous substance rose and circled him as if a living thing .
“Argus, repent in hell!” The man in white, Barbabia raised his right hand in the air .
“Listen to the sound of everything! Endless Convergence!”
Sound waves in the surroundings were attracted and converging in his hand to form a transparent vortex that spun at high speed .
“Annihilation Wave!”
Horrible sound waves burst from Barbabia, the man in white, like ripples in the water but at the speed of a storm . Sound waves hit the blue-black armored man, almost knocking the weapon off his hand . He shivered and then sputtered a mouthful of blood, flying backward before falling into the sea .
The endless sound waves, coming from Barbabia, continued spreading into all directions . Like pollution, it had no signs of diminishing . It absorbed the other sound waves in the environment to strengthen itself . With the two as the center of the battlefield, sound waves caused the sea to surge with rings of ripple on the surface . The ripples built up and formed into waves .
Ignoring the principle of wave phase cancelation, the sound wave absorbed sounds of every frequency and amplitude, turning them into its own strength before sending it out into all directions .
“Stop running!”

Barbabia looked in the direction where Argus had gone . Instead of giving chase in that direction, he turned around and flew in the opposite way . Soon, he saw Argus, still in his blue-black armor, right up ahead .
“Don’t be naïve! I have seen through your Ghostwalk! You’re not going to get away, Argus!”
Argus fled and Barbabia gave chase . Soon, they reached the airspace above a defensive city filled with survivors . The seaside defensive city had just reduced its area of defense, barely stabilizing the situation . But they would never have foreseen what was going to happen .
Two streaks of light came from above and crashed into the city center . Buildings began to collapse amid waves of explosions . Their impregnable defense system was useless against the two men .
“Bloodgorge!”
Argus lifted his halberd with a beam of red light burst from its tip . The light shot into the sky and split into countless beams before coming back down to the ground, killing many people who was still struck dumb and wondering what happened . Ten thousand people died instantly, with all their blood extracted, following the beams to flow up into the halberd .
“Bloodshadow Halberd, kill!”
Argus wielded his weapon and charged at Barbabia .

In the Sanctum HQ .
Lin Sheng sat in the main seat, his pale gold eyes gazing through his helmet at his subordinates sitting below him .
“I’ve started upgrading the sacred crystal font here . Please recruit more people . The more, the better .
The holy power is the power to bring people together, the power of the soul . It is a pure and flawless circle of life . When more people are coming together, the Sanctum will become stronger . ”
“We got it . But, Lord, why don’t we join the two sanctums together? If moving a large number of people at the same time is a concern, we can do it gradually . When everyone gathers in one place, the level of holy power produced will be even higher . So too the force of deterrence and protection . The Steel Lord suggested .
“With too many people gathering in one place, it will not work well for us to absorb people who are suffering in different locations,” Lin Sheng said . “We are not only wanting to keep the two sanctums separate but also sending out people to set up more branches to gather more holy power . ”
“In that case, in terms of manpower, I’m afraid…” The Night Lord frowned .
“It doesn’t matter . ”
Lin Sheng softly tweaked the armrest and sent a signal into the void . Immediately, a portal in the shape of a triangle, shimmering in red light, slit open slowly in the center of the sanctum hall . Coming out from within the tall body of the Giant King . On seeing Lin Sheng, he went down on his knees and said his greeting .
“His Majesty, King of the Holy Spirit . Your most loyal man, Khur Warspear, at your service!” After saying his greeting, Lin Sheng motioned him to stand aside to the right, directly opposite the Night Lord and all .
Following immediately came Sin Dragon Matriarch out of the portal . The battle wound was still on her face, seemingly not in the happiest mood, bowing to Lin Sheng with respect before standing at the right .
Next came the Fairy Empress . Just regaining her arm, the Fairy Empress was summoned here to take charge of a city that would possibly be built soon .
As the last of the three of them emerged, the portal automatically closed .
“Please introduce yourself . You all will be working together as a company . I need you all to work together as one in our next grand plan,” Lin Sheng said .
