Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Audis believed that the four demigods were likely trapped and not in great danger.

This was because the Moses Ascetic Order couldn't possibly send angels to Backlund. If they did, the angels of the ruling Loen Royal Family should be able to detect them.

Audis pondered for a moment and said to Captain Ikanos, "I can contact 'Queen Mystic' and ask her to help."

He paused and added, "As far as I know, she is very enthusiastic about disrupting the activities of the Moses Ascetic Order."

Captain Ikanos thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, but be sure to pay attention to the extent of cooperation."

The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery harbored some hostility towards the Moses Ascetic Order, but not as strongly towards the Aurora Order.

The reason was simple: the Aurora Order currently had no angels. The God of Steam and Machinery did not yet see them as a threat. Instead, because of the hostility between the Aurora Order and the Moses Ascetic Order, they believed the Aurora Order was a force that could be utilized.

High-level deacons like Ikanos could more or less come into contact with some of the Church's high-level strategic policies, so they were not opposed to cooperating with 'Queen Mystic'.

Audis nodded. "I'll go find that subordinate of 'Queen Mystic' right away. We'll meet at Graystone Street."

Ikanos gave an "Mm" sound. "I will also announce the information you obtained to other official Extraordinary organizations to see if the Royal Family can send out another demigod to destroy the Moses Ascetic Order's altar."

The three orthodox Churches usually only have one demigod stationed in Backlund, but the Royal Family and the military have several demigods living in Backlund.

However, in the event of a danger like the descent of an evil god, these demigods would prioritize protecting the king and important members of the Royal Family. It was unknown if they could spare another demigod.

Audis did not express an opinion on this. He remembered that Bernadette could use two Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts at any time. As long as she could find the altar and not be contaminated by an Outer God, she would definitely be able to destroy it.

...

Backlund, one hundred meters underground in the dock area.

In the darkness, four figures arrived at the location indicated in the information provided by 'Queen Mystic'.

The four figures were Horamick Haydn, wearing a white priest's robe and a soft hat, Anthony Stevenson, wearing five 'Night Holy Emblems', Ace Snake, who was exceptionally solemn and wearing a robe with a storm symbol, and Grove Augustus, wearing a white wig.

They didn't need any light to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Besides being demigods, it was also because Anthony had changed the darkness in their vision, allowing them to see a very clear black and white picture.

The location indicated by 'Queen Mystic' was a high and long wall in the ruins.

Upon arriving in front of it, Horamick's eyes flashed with illusory light: "There is indeed an evil force emanating from here."

"Then this is it!" Ace Snake, the demigod of the Storm Church, said, "You all step back a little."

Anthony seemed to already know what this archbishop of the Storm Church was going to do. Although 'Queen Mystic' had reminded them that they could use some of the characteristics of the hidden space to cleverly enter it, Ace's method was also feasible.

Rumble ~

A rolling thunder suddenly sounded in the ruins. A small patch of dark clouds instantly appeared above everyone's heads, followed by bolts of lightning as thick as buckets, striking the wall in front of the four people.

This was Ace's method: using external force to completely destroy that hidden space.

For a time, the entire ruin seemed to be flashing with electric sparks. If there was a cat in the ruins right now, even if it was hiding in a corner, all the fur on its body would be standing on end.

The huge lightning struck the wall, instantly scorching it black. At this time, the wall was like melted glass, with a huge hole appearing with signs of melting around it.

Inside the hole was the secret space that 'Queen Mystic' had mentioned.

The three-layered altar was deep within this space. Alvis, who was in his thirties and had a somewhat gloomy face, turned around, faced the four demigods, and grinned slightly, revealing a strange smile.

Grove took out a Sealed Artifact in the shape of an iron-black scepter. The head of the scepter emitted a seven-colored light, and the four demigods were immediately covered with a layer of bubble-like film.

This would effectively prevent them from being contaminated.

Then, the attacks of the four demigods began. First, a wave of irresistible drowsiness struck, causing Alvis to pause slightly, as if he was almost about to fall asleep.

Ace, who was rushing in the front, threw three lightning-formed javelins at Alvis at an extremely fast speed, and caused a terrifying hurricane to sweep through this space, rolling towards the altar.

Grove, who was walking at the back, said in a solemn voice: "The descent of evil forces is forbidden here!"

But soon they realized that something was wrong. Their attacks seemed to have missed. Anthony couldn't find Alvis, so naturally he couldn't pull him into sleep.

Ace's lightning and hurricane seemed to have passed through the enemy and the altar without causing them any impact!

Horamick, who hadn't attacked in the first moment, suddenly twisted off his left hand. The position of his wrist, like a high beam bulb, emitted a red light.

This light passed through Alvis, passed through the three-layered altar, and illuminated the stone bricks behind them.

The four demigods immediately understood that everything in front of them was actually an illusion!

This was somewhat unbelievable. The four who came today were all Sequence 3. In the Fifth Epoch, when angels were not often active on the earth, these four were the top combat power in the human world.

Even with such top combat power, they hadn't seen that everything in front of them was an illusion!

"Go."

As the convener of this operation, Horamick said immediately.

Regardless of what these illusions were about, it was very likely a trap, and they had to leave here as soon as possible.

"Want to leave?"

Alvis sneered from the altar: "My mission is to keep you here."

As he spoke, he walked towards Horamick and the others. When he took the first step, Alvis split into two, becoming two Alvis.

When he took the second step, the two Alvis split into two at the same time, becoming four Alvis.

Some of these four Alvis 'reproduced' an ancient angel, and some raised their hands to use demigod-level spells. They ran and charged towards the demigods Horamick and others.

Horamick and the others had no choice but to fight, because their spirituality perceived that although their attacks could not harm Alvis, Alvis's attacks could harm them.

At this time, they realized that they had to find the real altar to close this trap.

...

Backlund, West End.

Audis did not go to find the so-called subordinate of 'Queen Mystic'. Instead, after getting into a rented carriage, he quietly chanted her honorific name again, telling Bernadette the clues he had found and the plan for what followed.

After finishing speaking, that sacred figure quickly appeared in Audis's mind again: "I'm going to Graystone Street right away."

Audis breathed a sigh of relief, finally about to launch the 'general offensive' towards the goal!

He went to Gail's Herbal Shop and took away all the spiritual materials that could be used to write magic circles, and then took a rented carriage to the East End again.

Watching the sun gradually set to the west, Audis sincerely prayed for the first time, hoping to end the battle before dark.

At this time, he heard exclamations coming from the street. Audis looked in the direction everyone was pointing, and a dark area actually appeared in the eastern sky.

In the darkness, there were specks of starlight!

Audis's eyes narrowed. That was the starry sky!

If it weren't for the 'Descent of the Evil God' incident, Audis would definitely have thought that the Goddess of the Night had 'manifested'.

Obviously, the Moses Ascetic Order's ritual had reached the final stage, and the evil god in the starry sky was about to establish a real connection with the real world.

But the gods didn't seem to have any intention of taking action yet.

Fortunately, this ritual was long enough to give people enough time to react.

With some anxiety, Audis finally arrived at Graystone Street.

It had already been blocked off by the police, who were roughly driving away the residents of the surrounding streets.

Because the carriage was already moving very slowly, Audis had to get out of the carriage and quickly find the building surrounded by the Extraordinary.

The starry sky in the clear sky was directly above this building.

It was a three-story building that looked a bit mottled.

The second-floor windows of this building were tightly closed, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it. It was the building that Klein had drawn after divination.

After Audis arrived, Bernadette's figure appeared on the street: "It has been confirmed, it is on the second floor."

The surrounding official Extraordinary turned to look over here, observing this powerful figure from the hidden world.

Bernadette was indeed not afraid of being watched, and didn't even bother to disguise herself.

Audis was about to ask why they hadn't taken action yet, but after looking at the surrounding Extraordinary, he seemed to have the answer.

The Nighthawks, Punishers, and Royal Family had only sent a few Sequence 5s to lead the team to participate in this operation. In other words, the main force of this operation was only Bernadette, a demigod.

"The higher the Sequence in that building, the easier it is to be contaminated."

Bernadette then added: "Ordinary people won't be contaminated in a short time, but we've already tried it. The police even used bombs, but they couldn't open the second-floor door."

Finally, she asked: "Do you have any ideas?"

“I do have a solution.” On the way here, Audis had already thought of how to deal with the current situation: “But it can only seal the pollution inside the building, and there’s no way to get inside.”

“As long as the pollution inside doesn’t spill out, I have a way to destroy the altar,” Bernadette said.

Audis nodded: “Okay.”

After he finished speaking, he quickly came to the wall of the building and began to write rapidly.

Ikanse and the others initially didn't understand what Audis was doing. After watching for a while, they realized that he was writing a ritual array.

Several official Beyonders were about to step forward to inquire, but Bernadette, with a heroic spirit between her brows, said: “Don’t disturb him.”

The official Beyonders had no choice but to retreat and continue waiting there.

Here, Bernadette had the highest Sequence. Although he was not an official Beyonder, several official Beyonder organizations would temporarily obey her orders.

At this time, the royal family's demigods were covering the retreat of important figures such as the Queen and the Crown Prince.

The other three Churches were redeploying demigods here, but demigods were not radishes on the street. Only one demigod was responsible for each major diocese, and they couldn't just leave as they pleased.

However, the three Churches all knew the seriousness of the situation, so their demigods could arrive in at most one or two hours.

Soon, everyone began to be amazed by the speed at which Audis drew the ritual array. In the blink of an eye, Audis had thrown out two glass bottles. Before this, the glass bottles were filled with essence oil-like spiritual materials.

In just seven or eight minutes, Audis drew a very complex ritual array on the four walls of the building.

This ritual array was the one that appeared in the secret room of the Trunsoest Empire, blocking the Outer God's pollution.

It's just that that ritual array had Beyonder characteristics at the demigod level providing a constant stream of power, but now Audis didn't have such a thing, so he could only make complex changes and let the Beyonders provide power to the ritual array.

“Please, Sequences 5 and 6, come forward.” Audis put away the last half bottle of spiritual materials and said, “Hurry up, we can also seal that pollution by relying on everyone's strength.”

All the Beyonders looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.

Their spirituality could sense how high the level of pollution was in the room. Could it be sealed with a ritual array?

In their eyes, the role of the ritual array was very limited. Audis's words sounded like a joke.

Even Ikanse, who had seen some of Audis's research, didn't quite believe that this ritual array was really so powerful.

Just as Audis was about to urge them, Bernadette suddenly said: “If you have a better solution, say it quickly. If not, go and help!”

With the backing of the 'Mysterious Queen', Sequences 5 and 6 stepped forward.

Audis arranged for them to be evenly distributed around the building and told them where to place their hands.

“Listen to my command,” Audis said: “When I say ‘start’, everyone inject their spirituality into the ritual array together!”

“Three, two, one, start!”

Six Sequence 5s and ten Sequence 6s injected their spirituality into the ritual array together.

Those mysterious symbols immediately floated with illusory light and quickly became three-dimensional.

Immediately, a huge illusory light罩 was formed, encompassing the entire building.

At this time, Bernadette began to act. She slightly raised her hand, and the building in front of her was divided from the second floor, instantly splitting into two, becoming upper and lower parts.

The upper layer of the building slowly floated, as if a mysterious big hand had picked up a building block.

The scene on the second floor was completely exposed. The middle had been quietly opened up at some point, turning into a not small space.

There was a three-story altar there. Each layer had strange symbols on it. Just looking at the altar would make people feel dizzy.

There were also three monsters around the altar. They didn't seem to notice the people on the street. They were still chanting spells while walking slowly around the altar.
