Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 954 It's decided, you will be the one...

South Side, City of Hope, Sassen Street.

The moment Angel and Archon Geldruf disappeared, Klein understood what had happened.

He had previously used the "Luck Stealer" spell to replace the fate of the "Time Worm" and Amon's clone that tried to parasitize Angel. It was just a subconscious action due to the tacit understanding between the two of them in combat. After all, a target that was almost attached to Angel was always easier to deal with than a target protected by the "Law".

As for what Angel wanted to do, he didn't fully understand it until this moment.

Using the "Yesterday Reappearance" spell, he returned to his "outsider" identity two days ago. Then he used the "Mirror World" to take Amon's clone, who was the Archon, out of the city, triggering the law's ban on residents leaving the country, but this was contrary to the law's order to protect the Archon...

In addition, from the fact that Gerdruf invited Anne to be the consul and replaced him, it can be seen that the title of "Consul" cannot be abandoned at will and must go through a legal handover procedure to be replaced. However, leaving this city will undoubtedly automatically give up the current identity, which again results in two conflicting laws.

While thinking, Klein discovered that the golden ribbons that were originally used to restrict him and punish him for attacking the "Archon" had disappeared at some point.

Anne's slender body was entangled above the street, and the "Hand of Order" that was fighting against the power of order in her hands was silent.

The entire street, except for the completely destroyed Nemo's house and the nearby "petrified" ground, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

But a little further away, many residents of the "City of Dreams" were already looking over here from their homes, with more curiosity than fear in their eyes.

Most of them have been law-abiding all their lives and live in a city with strict laws. They have rarely seen such destructive scenes or even fights.

Fortunately, both Angel and Archon Amon were extremely restrained, and even Annie tried hard to contain her own strength. Otherwise, not only this street, but the entire South District would probably suffer a devastating blow... Klein muttered inwardly. After the power isolating him and the other puppets completely disappeared, he immediately controlled a rabbit named Gehrman at home, went to the study, took out the city law with a black cover and copper-wrapped corners, and opened it to look at the inner pages.

As he expected, the laws originally written in the gilded ancient Fessac script had disappeared without a trace, and only the decorative patterns around the solemn and ancient pages remained.

The secret doll immediately flipped forward, quickly scanning the blank pages until it turned to the inner cover of the city law. On the first page, it saw the words "Provisional Laws of the Dream City". Even the version number in brackets at the end was erased by an invisible hand.

Laws need to be publicized to take effect, which means that there is no law in effect in the entire "Dream City".

It looked like Angel had succeeded, but now she was facing an Amon clone who was at least Sequence 3, and who might even have gathered a large number of Beyonder characteristics and reached Sequence 2... Klein thought of the enemy who was in the same space as Angel, and his brows furrowed even more.

He knew that he could now leave the "City of Dreams" and go to the spirit world or return to reality, as long as he used the souls of travelers herded by the "Creeping Hunger", but he still lacked the most effective way to enter the "Mirror World".

Of course, he could now pray to any target without worrying about the punishment of the law, so he quickly thought of a solution and began to recite Angel's name in ancient Hermetic language:

"The queen feared by pirates, the master of the ship of the spirit world, the nightmare of thousands of ships, the embodiment of pain and despair..."

Immediately, the golden Angelica appeared before him.

"Ok?"

Klein couldn't help but let out a surprised sound, and then he realized that the person who returned to the "City of Dreams" with Angel was also the brass-haired, fat Amon's clone, "Archon" Geldruf.

This frightened him so much that he instantly switched places with a rabbit not far away, causing the latter to swell up and transform into another Hermann that looked lifelike but was so light that it almost floated.

Then, the rabbit Hermann asked cautiously:

"How is this going?"

He could see that Angel and Amon did not take action in the "mirror world", but returned here immediately after using contradictory laws to destroy the city laws, but this was the most puzzling point for him.

Even if the two of them had fought their way from the mirror into reality and destroyed the entire street when they landed, he wouldn't have been so surprised.

"It's a complicated matter, so I'll make it short..." Angel glanced at Gerdruf, "Anyway, he didn't try to escape or fight back, but voluntarily came back here with me. I guess he's a collaborator for the time being."

"Cooperation? For what?"

Anne Gustav fell from the sky and landed on a messy street. She stared at "Archon" Amon and asked in a bad tone.

She had just been attacked continuously by the "Hand of Order" controlled by the opponent, and was not in a good mood.

"To save this city."

He casually stole the brass monocle that Nemo had dropped on the ground, wiped off the dust on it, and put it on his right eye socket. "Consul" Geldruf said. ————

Arriving at the rooftop of the City Hall, Angel, who no longer had to worry about legal restrictions, used the "mirrors" everywhere to quickly understand the current situation of the entire city.

The "floating city" that originally floated in the air, with the sea below and the false sky all around, has begun to be covered with layers of illusory mist, and the separation between "reality" and "spiritual world" is becoming blurred.

Above the city, the magnificent light of dusk and the quiet moonlight of the crimson moon divided the sky, as if the entire city was in two states at the same time.

The trajectory of the floating island held up by the distorted gravity has also changed. It no longer moves forward steadily, but rises and falls, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. As a result, the city above experiences earthquake-like movements, with houses shaking and rivers backflowing. Residents rush out of their homes and go to open places such as parks and squares to avoid being crushed by the collapsed houses.

In the suburbs, the grass was as tall as shrubs, the trees grew excessively, and the farmed animals also showed varying degrees of mutations, breaking through the fences of the farms in a ferocious manner and running towards the urban area.

"The operation of the entire city was originally achieved through the cooperation of Beyonder characteristics from multiple channels. After the death of the Night Emperor, his descendants took back a portion of the Hand of Order characteristic and integrated it into the Ghost Empire that was about to leave the Empire Port. It replaced the Balancer and was superior to other Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristics. It also allowed the city's originally designed system to be modified and replaced by self-perfected laws, forming the current unique system..."

Beside Angel, Archon Geldruf explained.

No, he is no longer the "Consul". After the conflicting laws were completely wiped out, the city no longer has a normal administrative system and is in a state of complete barbarism.

Of course, this is also the reason why various abnormalities are currently occurring in the "City of Dreams".

Looking down at the streets that were gradually becoming chaotic, Gerdruf continued:
"...But now, the strict rule system that the Hand of Order has gradually formed over more than a thousand years has been found to have loopholes by outsiders, and has completely collapsed in the midst of self-contradiction. In the next hour, it will try to gradually formulate new laws and re-form a complete system.

"But within this hour, it will give up control of other Beyonder characteristics, which is equivalent to letting multiple '0' level seals lose their seals and releasing the various powers they possess. I'm afraid that in less than an hour, but only ten minutes, this beautiful but fragile city will be destroyed by various rampant Beyonder powers.

"That includes a copy of the Apprentice Path, Sequence 2, 'Planeswalker', a copy of the Witch Path, Sequence 2, 'Disaster', a copy of the Black Emperor Path, Sequence 2, 'Duke of Entropy', and a copy of the 'Mother' Path, Sequence 2, 'Mistress of Desolation'."

The Planeswalkers provide the floating city with the power to tear the spirit world apart and exist for a long time in the gap between the spirit world and reality; the Witch of Disaster uses the mirror world to open up a space for it to exist for a long time, and can even replicate the sea water, air, day and night, and four seasons of the outside world; the distortion of the Duke of Entropy allows the floating city to float against gravity, and at the same time it can sail around the Sonia Sea in a regular but difficult to be perceived by the outside world. As for the Mistress of Desolation... It sounds like she should be an angel of the "Tiller" path. I'm afraid she is the basis for this city to support the lives of 100,000 people...

Angel immediately guessed the power of these extraordinary characteristics, and was also surprised at the ingenuity of the "Dream City" in that it only needed one "Balancer" characteristic at the beginning of its design to integrate multiple powers and make them operate normally in order.

Of course, everything is now under the control of the "Hand of Order", and it has no time to take care of these extraordinary characteristics.

The extraordinary properties of four items equivalent to "0" level seals are about to destroy the entire city!

They don't even have to do anything. As long as they stop maintaining the city in the conflict, the entire floating city will fall into the depths of the spiritual world, collapse and disappear in the storm, along with the 100,000 people inside.

"So, how should we save this city?"

Klein, who had a basic understanding of the current situation, frowned and asked.

He temporarily put aside his fear of Amon's clone. After all, when the "Hand of Order" lost its effect, they had an arbitrator angel standing on their side, who had an absolute advantage in strength.

“Evacuate all residents first?”

Angel answered subconsciously. She looked down at the street and found that most people did not panic in the increasingly violent shaking and strange phenomena in various parts of the city. Instead, they maintained basic stability, gathered in the square and streets, waiting.

But the "order" they are waiting for may not come for the time being...

"No, it is impossible to transfer 2 people in one hour..." Geldruf shook his head and glanced at Angel. "Unless you advance to Sequence now and absorb the 'disaster' attribute, it will be possible to transfer everyone to the mirror world and avoid the disaster."

Immediately, he looked at Anne Gustave, who had remained silent, and said solemnly:

"The only way now is to let another 'Balancer' power take control of the overall situation, restore order to all the Beyonder characteristics that are about to get out of control, and support this 'City of Dreams' again.

"I hope you can become the new 'Consul' and take on this responsibility."

Hearing this, Angel felt a sense of surprise as if he had come full circle.

When they arrived in the city and met Gerdruf, the latter made this request to Anne, hoping that she could take over the position of "Consul".

Could it be that Amon's clone had sensed this crisis to some extent?
