CHAPTER 1024: CHAPTER 530: DANCE BENEATH FATE (PART 3)

However, the summoning of the [Wind’s Phantom] requires compatibility, and the duration is limited, so it’s best reserved for critical moments.

Rod could only sacrifice a bit of his reputation.

Anyway, once I have real power in Trolian, I’ll order "Dark Foodie" and "Devour Feces" to be listed as forbidden, and no one is allowed to mention them.

Hmph!

With that, Rod took the opportunity before Olivia’s recovery, clearing a vast area, far exceeding the initial plan.

Professor Bins, Professor Barrett, and a group of scholars and researchers have thus gained many unexpected delights.

They not only unearthed many relics of significant importance, greatly enhancing the understanding of the Royal City about the Second Epoch, but also uncovered many powerful items and rare resources.

These items belong to this Divine City. In the era when humans and gods fought side by side, divine artifacts were not so rare, and demi divine artifacts and powerful spiritual items were even more common.

Although so many years have passed, and they have been eroded by the Black Fog over time, most of them are no longer usable, but dismantling and recycling them can still yield quite a few scarce resources and materials.

Moreover, by studying their structures, many lost pieces of knowledge can be obtained, adding a brick to the development of spiritual power technology in the Royal City.

Originally, I thought this expedition would end in disappointment, but unexpectedly there was such a tremendous turn of events. Their harvest far surpassed expectations, and everyone was grateful to Rod, who was the catalyst for "all these turning points."

Unconsciously, Rod’s reputation among the scholars had surpassed anyone else in the Royal City.

However, Rod didn’t really care about this, he just hoped no one would come again to offer "wise feces," whether Asa eats it or not, he couldn’t accept it.

He even hoped to return to the Royal City sooner. If not for the "Spirit Tide" of [Frost Blue] being unusable here, he would have used it at the station long ago.

Sagus City has some peculiar taboos, abilities like "Spirit Tide" that alter the operation of spiritual energy in the Three Realms are ineffective here.

Rod initially suspected Amon of causing trouble, but after repeatedly using the [Spirit Mechanism] of [Divine Sense], he denied such thoughts.

The Doomsday believers didn’t have such power; its source lay in the center of Sagus City, within the "Twin Divine Tower."

With the godlike wisdom obtained from the [Spirit Mechanism], Rod completely rooted out the traitors within the team.

The incident of traitors emerging won’t happen again.

Amon, who claimed to be the Demon of the Source, has had his tricks uncovered by Rod.

This ancient evil thought possesses a special ability; it can plant a seed containing evil thoughts within a soul, essentially an idea, a thought, making it extremely difficult to detect. At critical moments, this thought would usurp your consciousness, executing the actions of a rebel.

Seven people had the evil seed planted within them, among them was the highest-ranking Judgment Chief, Lucian, and four were high-rank combatants, two were scholars.

They were all frozen by Mephit, encased in the Spirit Coffin, waiting to be sent back to the Royal City.

The Soul Church has already received the news and is anxiously busy.

Rod felt both relieved and somewhat disappointed. Amon’s true form didn’t come, and the crisis mentioned in the prophecy seems to have been averted.

Indeed, if he hadn’t personally come, the cesspit, Arena, and Divine District couldn’t have been cleared.

Once the team pressed forward recklessly, the Demon Dragon would attack from behind, and by then, the entire team would be in great danger.

This made Rod almost believe himself to be the Savior sent by the fire’s will, otherwise, why was he always the one carrying the burden?

Thus, on the ninth day of their arrival in Sagus City, Olivia finally stood up from beside the lantern.

With a rustling sound, she rubbed her shoulder beneath the blue armor, and the pure spiritual light swept upward across her body.

"All done."

She glanced at the heavily clouded sky, her voice clear and crisp.

"It’s another beautiful Moon Day."

"The final target, let’s dance with elegance."
