CHAPTER 887: CHAPTER 477: HORUS REBELS AGAIN (SECOND UPDATE)

"Is it you?"

Rod suddenly awoke.

"Did you seize... control of the Dark Stars?"

Mephit glanced at him lightly and said softly, "Indeed, it was you who summoned it."

Rod was choked up: "How did you know?"

"I can feel it, it’s not a normal monster, but a peculiar summoning, with too many signs of modification within its soul."

Is that possible?

Rod never expected to be exposed here; he hadn’t planned on revealing this ability, as the Dark Stars were too powerful to easily explain.

However, even if people knew, it wouldn’t have a significant impact, just require some mental energy to concoct a rationale.

"Alright, since you know, I’ll tell you. It is indeed one of my many abilities, but why did you seize my control?"

Mephit calmly answered, "It went out of control, the Black Fog disrupted part of the control structure; the Black Fog Symbiont is a special monster, you can’t do this."

Just as he finished speaking, Rod felt his connection with the Dark Stars restored.

Rod let out a sigh of relief.

This way he wouldn’t have to forcibly dismiss this summoning.

He sensed it and found that compared to before, the Dark Stars had become a bit rough, but it was still manageable.

"Nicely done," Rod praised, "Your spiritual interference is so useful; why haven’t you used it before?"

"The Silver Oath forbade me from using it."

"Why?"

Mephit looked at him, her silver-white eyes filled with a faint chill, and said softly, "Can’t you imagine? What if I control the high-ranking members of the Royal City? Who isn’t afraid of their mind being controlled? Who isn’t afraid of their comrades being controlled? Who isn’t afraid of the King being controlled? Who isn’t afraid of a mind-controlled person giving orders?"

"When you can’t tell what’s real, this world will collapse."

"Therefore, spiritual interference is an absolute forbidden characteristic... even now, some believe that the reason the King didn’t have me executed in the usual severe manner is because of my mind control."

Rod shrugged.

"There must be some way to manage this consequence, right?"

Mephit turned her head.

"You are the only exception, which is why I chose to follow you; otherwise, no one would choose me because they can’t be sure if the order comes from themselves... can you please stop meddling at this time?"

Rod chuckled awkwardly: "Haha, are you sure my mental control immunity hasn’t failed? Maybe you’re the one controlling it..."

He glanced at the fierce battle ahead and quickly changed the topic.

"Don’t worry, with four Special Level Combatants there, I just have to go in and grab something."

Mephit stepped back two steps inconspicuously, moved a bit further away from him, and continued, "Although they’ve sealed off mind control, I can still use it; unobtrusively, I will use it for some convenience."

Rod coughed and said seriously, "Since the sealing is ineffective, then just use it."

Mephit’s tone, usually flat, wavered slightly, "Is that okay?"

"Yes," Rod laughed, "This is Trolian’s Guardian, Elder of the Supreme Council, the brightest rising star, the most handsome man, giving you the order. Don’t worry about those bans, if I say you can use it, you can use it."

Mephit looked at him, her silver-white eyes reflecting firelight as if shining.

"Okay."

She answered succinctly.

Rod asked again, "What about your third characteristic? What’s the use of the Dark Soul?"

Mephit calmly answered, "Unleashing the Dark Soul grants immense power, but it can lead to soul darkening; the more it darkens, the more power you gain."

Rod immediately shook his head, "Forget it, better not use that, just use Cold Ice and spiritual interference."

Mephit nodded lightly.

Rod was overjoyed, feeling that he had obtained a powerful ally; he hadn’t known Mephit was so strong before, but then her seal wasn’t lifted, nor was her curse controllable, limiting her strength, which is understandable.

"By the way, Mephit, can you control the Great Demon God?"

"No, the connection between the Black Fog Symbiont and the Black Fog is too strong; my interference would be overshadowed. Being able to control your Dark Stars is because it’s inherently a controllable summoning, but its essence is also a Black Fog Symbiont; you can’t control it for too long."

Rod nodded: "Don’t worry, I have backup plans."

It wasn’t long before the remaining three Great Demon Gods were also successively slain; only the Dark Stars remained. It was in tatters, with holes all over its skull, revealing the brain inside rotating visibly.

After all the Great Demon Gods died, it just floated quietly, with no movement.

Luo Weiya, Jelaba, Olivia all breathed a long sigh of relief.

With just one Dark Stars, it couldn’t threaten the gathering of over half of Trolian’s top-tier power.

The crisis was finally averted.

The road ahead would be smooth, and they also preserved their core strengths.

This was indeed an excellent situation.

"Let’s investigate the secret of this strange Dark Stars, find out why it suddenly appeared, and why it attacked the Great Demon God."

Luo Weiya proposed his suggestion.

Jelaba hesitated; according to his original plan, he should have immediately killed the Dark Stars, eliminating any hidden dangers, and then set off.

However, this strange Dark Stars intrigued him greatly; perhaps some secret could be gained from it.

"Let’s discuss this with Horus," Jelaba suggested.

Everyone had no objections. Just as they were about to proceed, suddenly, the air shook violently.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful disturbance rapidly spread from the edge of the Big Lake to the surroundings.

The expressions of the three changed instantly.

"Final measure??"

"What’s going on? Why are we using the final measure now? What is Horus doing?"

The three special level combatants dashed towards where Horus was.

However, the place was already firmly covered by countless solidified lights.

Horus still sat at the edge of the big lake, his hands pressing on the Silent Stone, but instead of eliminating disturbances as before, he was flipping the Silent Stone, causing an intense disturbance.

Horus’s entire body was shining with spiritual light, spiritual energy surging, fully amplifying the disturbance.

In just that second, the disturbance had already surged tens of times.

"Horus!" Olivia shouted anxiously, "What are you doing?"

Horus ignored her, his face twisted, black gas swirling around him, looking incredibly hideous, and a jarring noise, like sandpaper, spewed from his throat.

"Die! Die! Die!"

"You must all die! Filthy humans, incurable humans, lowly humans, your only fate is to be devoured by the Black Fog, and that is the greatest mercy for you."

"Why won’t you just die? Why won’t you go and die?"

The terrifying voice expanded with the disturbance, spreading to the bottom of the big lake.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was happening.

Only Rod, in an instant, understood.

"Horus?"

"Horus is the Doomsday believer??"

He could hardly believe it.

"How could the Archbishop be a traitor?"

"Why?"

Emotionally, he couldn’t believe it, but reason told him it was true.

Only he could explain so many strange things.

But why?

Rod couldn’t believe that Horus would betray the Trolian.

Has he gone mad?

But now wasn’t the time to question this, the disturbance was furiously expanding, Horus, in a desperate gamble, reversed the Silent Stone, launching the disturbance with all his might.

Rod rushed over, seeing countless white barriers set up around him, and the four special level combatants couldn’t break through for the moment.

And the disturbance was about to break through its limit.

Everything was almost too late!

"Horus!" Rod shouted anxiously, "What are you doing? Have you forgotten everything from the past?"

"Rod!"

A roar filled with extreme hatred, Horus’s eyes spat fire, and his face contorted extremely.

"You damn bastard! I want you dead!"

Rod was stunned, why did Horus hate him so much?

If he hated him so much, there were so many opportunities to kill him, so why hadn’t he done it?

The disturbance was rapidly amplifying, and the space fault of Starry Sky City could no longer stop it.

The intensity was soon to exceed the strength required for the final measure, then all the monsters in Starry Sky City would swarm towards them.

The four special level combatants frantically attacked the barriers, but breaking them didn’t happen quickly, Horus was half-a-step special level, and the Bright Light attribute was excellent for defense. These countless barriers had been laid out long ago, arousing no suspicion beforehand, yet now they blocked everyone.

In that flash of a moment, Rod was struck with inspiration and shouted, "Mephit! Spiritual interference!"

"Yes!"

Mephit raised his right hand, fingers spread, aiming at Horus.

An invisible force soared through the air.

Horus suddenly froze, his ferocious face became extremely distorted, as if a powerful force was battling within him.

At times he raised his hand, at times he lowered it, the terrifying voice erupted from his mouth.

"No, no, you won’t control me! You evil witch! You ominous one, you son of destruction! I will never let you control... ugh aaahhh!"

Horus suddenly dropped his hand, his whole body dissipating in spiritual energy, the Silent Stone instantly becoming silent, the disturbance dissipating.

Boom!

Olivia shattered the last barrier, taking them only seven seconds from start to finish.

But those seven seconds felt like the distance from heaven to hell.

Until she pressed down on Horus’s heart, Olivia realized she was covered in sweat.

A glow in the palm, spiritual energy erupted instantly, completely imprisoning Horus.

Only then could Olivia feel her heart pounding wildly.

Jelaba rushed over, pressed Horus’s forehead, and said in a deep voice, "His mind has been affected!"

He immediately looked towards Mephit in the distance, his voice unprecedentedly low.

"Stop."

Mephit lowered his hand.

Horus then fell to the ground.
