Capítulo 723: Chapter 250 Escape

“Warning! Part of the Floating City’s lower cabins and the Magic Light Tower have suffered low-temperature damage! Defense barriers in zones 17 and 18 have been destroyed! Estimated time for complete restoration is one minute and thirty-one seconds!”

The inorganic voice of Themis from the Floating City Control Tower echoed in the control room, making Anvis’s heart resolute.

It was clear that Pomona must have already considered the Truth Circle as potential enemies and taken precautions in advance.

Moreover, the recent zero-degree light beam didn’t just cause destruction. A stubborn icy Rule power, like a marker, tightly locked down a large area of the Floating City.

In other words, Pomona’s primary objective was not destruction but preventing the Floating City from teleporting and escaping again, losing its whereabouts.

“Trouble, ladies and gentlemen.”

Having finished his meticulously prepared strike, Pomona, with a cold smile, halted and called out into the void.

“No wonder Duke Carrot suddenly cautioned us to be vigilant. It’s not just the annoying fellows from the Songxing Secret Sect; there’s also this bunch of ‘Truth Circle’ rats!”

Following Pomona’s actions, three Ninth Rank powerhouses from the Alfred Family, each dressed differently, suddenly materialized near the Floating City’s position.

After leaving one Ninth Rank to prevent any mishaps with Fiona, the other two Ninth Rank figures flashed and directly pierced through the gaping hole in the Floating City’s Protection Shield, forcibly boarding the surface of the Floating City.

They, too, had their own ulterior motives. The temptation of a new Floating City was too big, especially the legendary Infinite Magic Power source—the Eternal Core—coveted even by the Empire Family.

Due to the Truth Circle’s elusive nature, making it completely untraceable, everyone had been helpless. But this time, they had finally caught their tail.

And now, with Gloria III missing, and the two major Prince camps in civil war, the Royal Family could hardly attend to their actions, the timing, location, and people were all in favor!

As long as they could take the opportunity to seize this Floating City, the power of the Alfred Family was bound to leap tremendously!

….

“Warning! Two entity infiltrations from Rule Controllers detected in zone 18! Please address immediately!”

After the two Ninth Rank intruders entered the Floating City, Pomiya’s hurried alarm immediately sounded, causing Anvis’s expression to become grave.

This was an overt conspiracy. When he had no choice but to take direct control of the Floating City to block Pomona, he had feared such an event would occur.

The existence of the Truth Circle was too sensitive, and he couldn’t possibly reveal his identity, which meant that those who should have been allies—the Ninth Rank of the Alfred Family—were now attacking him instead.

At the same time, Anvis estimated that the gazes of probably more Ninth Rank entities were already cast their way, only that they hadn’t decided when to enter the fray.

There was only one Floating City, and it was his own makeshift version. If multiple Ninth Rank entities appeared, then it would be difficult for him to even run away with the Floating City.

Fortunately, the Floating City was designed with the possibility of enemy infiltration in mind, contemplating how to respond in such an event.

The interior corridors of the Floating City were inscribed with ubiquitous Space Confinement Runes. With the endless magic power from the Eternal Core, even Ninth Ranks couldn’t teleport directly to the Core and had to advance slowly.

At the same time, a special Dream Realm Domain enveloped the entire area of the Floating City. After the two Ninth Ranks invaded, they were immediately engulfed and pulled into the Dream Realm, where they could only each deploy their Rule Domains to prevent the assimilation effect of the Dream Power.

To leave the Dream Layer, one must destroy the Dream Stance Emitter located at the core of the current area.

“Send out the defense golem squad, free assault, delay as long as possible, but do not use lethal weapons. Also, initiate the separation mechanism of the Floating City, ready to abandon Zone 17 and 18.”

Watching the two Ninth Rank invaders, Anvis quickly gave orders to respond.

After all, they were Ninth Rank strengths of his own camp, and he didn’t intend to engage in meaningless internal consumption; shaking them off again would suffice.

After that, Anvis’s gloomy gaze settled on Pomona.

“Also, cease all unnecessary output of Magic Power, activate the Space-Time Confinement Field, put all effort into dragging him into the Floating City’s Dream Realm, and immediately perform a leap into the Deep Dream World upon success!”

Owing to this guy, the Floating City is likely to suffer severe damage this time. No matter the cost, this danger must be eradicated in advance.

“Should be soon now, right?”

On the battlefield below, Pomona looked up at the Floating City in the sky, muttering to himself.

Despite bringing two Ninth Rank members of the Alfred Family for help, it is still the Floating City, plus the unknown depth of truth from the leader of the Truth Circle, making it perilous for Ninth Rank to explore.

And his real reliance is actually still the cooperation with the Songxing Secret Sect.

At this moment, while the two Alfred Family’s Ninth Rank were attracted over, the Ninth Rank presence from the Songxing Secret Sect finally emerged and directly went after Fiona.

Thanks to a Ninth Rank Alfred remaining behind to guard Fiona, his interception has gradually become precarious due to the difference in strength.

At this critical moment, the strength of the Floating City finally descended.

“What?!”

Caught off guard by the Confinement Field of the Floating City, Pomona, startled, immediately stirred up rule strength to break free, but it was to no avail.

In the next instant, taking Pomona who was forcibly held, the magnificent platinum Floating City suddenly flashed, about to transport itself into the Deep Dream World.

But at this moment, the space nearby suddenly fluctuated violently, as several Ninth Rank beings stepped out of the distorted space and made a direct attack on the Floating City, rapidly marking it to avoid losing track.

These individuals were solo Ninth Rank and Ninth Rank from other Empires, almost entirely drawn by the appearance of the Floating City.

This situation was amongst the worst scenarios that Anvis had anticipated to possibly contend with in his plan.

But now that things had come to this, he could only forge ahead, subject to these attacks, forcibly transporting the Floating City into the Deep Dream World. As for the marks, they could only be dealt with gradually on the run from the pursuit of numerous Ninth Rank.

Leveraging the valuable map information recorded in the Dream Inheritance Land, as well as understanding the operational rules of the Deep Dream World, Anvis plans to use some of the natural hazards and ancient existences of the Dream World to gradually shake off the numerous Ninth Rank pursuers.

Meanwhile, in this process, his doppelganger located in the City Lord Mansion would take the opportunity while Pomona was forcibly held by the Floating City, trying to make a getaway with Fiona and temporarily take refuge somewhere safe.

Once Duke Carrot and the Ninth Rank Guardian out on investigation return to the family, they will then return to the family as well.
