704 Chaotic Serpen (2/2)

With the unimaginable power of curse, it spread towards Lucien's body along Mage's Hand faster than any creature could possibly react. Since Lucien was right next to it, it lunged on his body easily.

Spell Trigger, Magic Order, Elemental Skin and the other innate spells were activated, but none of them could stop the snake of curse. As if it were invisible, it crawled into Lucien's body!

”It worked…” Mecantron canceled God's Guard and prayed. Glowing light was gathered into a holy, intimidating book.

As the book was turned, godly runes flew out and constituted a web that seemed to be from Mountain Paradise, attempting to capture Lucien.

It was Seal of Judgment!

That was the legendary divine power in the Saint Truth which could seal the enemy's power. Once it worked on the enemy, the enemy's strength would halt or even decline. Also, it was a permanent effect and could hardly be expelled.

The curse of the snake previously, on the other hand, was from Gonheim. It was the reward from abyss, named 'Chaotic Serpent', when he became the Prince of Demons, and it had a similar effect to Seal of Judgment.

After the two effects were combined, the Congress of Magic's method to lift the curses would be nullified. Lucien could only find a solution on his own. His strength would halt in the next decades even if he had the help of demigods!

For Mecantron and Gonheim, they were glad to see Lucien Evans' research in the microscopic domain, which would provide theoretical foundations for the way to become demigods. Then, they would be able to make advancements and see the dawn of true gods. They wouldn't agree to kill Lucien Evans at all.

However, Lucien's growth also terrified them. They feared that Lucien would have already become a demigod or a true god before they picked up his theory. After all, the sorcerers sometimes had the feedback of the real world when they created groundbreaking theories. Would he allow them to become demigods or true gods? Of course not! He would certainly try to eliminate them!

Both eager and scared, they had made such a plan. Seizing the opportunity that Lucien needed space-time materials, they would curse and seal him so that his strength would halt, and it wouldn't hinder his arcana studies at all!

In this plan, the elvish queen was merely a pawn who did not know anything. She merely informed Lucien of the locations of the space-time materials that she knew according to the terms of cooperation. She didn't even know that the Angel King was behind the curtain. Also, in her eyes, nothing was strange about that. Lucien wouldn't necessarily choose the Time Plate after all.

Then, according to Lucien's style and personality that the Demogorgon of Darkness knew, they reached the conclusion that Lucien would come to the Chaotic Cosmos. As to when it would be exactly, they could only learn it after he approached the abyss.

When he approached the abyss, Gonheim would immediately inform the Angel King and asked him to send his subordinates to steal the Time Plate.

That was because there was still a critical problem. With Lucien Evans' cautiousness, he definitely wouldn't pick up the Time Plate without examining it carefully first. In such a case, the power of the Chaotic Snake would be clearly revealed, and they couldn't achieve their purpose at all.

Therefore, they had to create an environment where Lucien had to grab the Time Plate immediately and flee, so that he wouldn't have the time or the opportunity to examine it. For that, they needed a competitor who fought for the Time Plate, as well as the pressure from the Demogorgon of Darkness from the back.

Seeing that nothing happened to Clement when he held the Time Plate, and since the Demogorgon of Darkness was coming 'furiously', Lucien Evans certainly wouldn't check it carefully again if he had a chance to flee with the Time Plate.

Therefore, the plan required a strict order of events, or Lucien Evans' wariness couldn't be erased. Also, they needed to consider the possibility that Lucien Evans stalled the enemy and Natasha Violet went to take it.

As it turned out, Lucien's capabilities were far beyond their expectation, and his preparations were terrifying. Even the firelord and the Demogorgon of Darkness combined didn't stop him for long, and Natasha and he reached the Chaotic Cosmos before Clement confirmed the 'safety' of the Time Plate. Therefore, the Angel King had to expose himself in advance and arrived at the abyss!

Although Clement was too useless to even deal with Natasha, his involvement had completely eased Lucien's wariness after all! Mecantron thought as such while he watched the web of seal made of the divine runes fell upon Lucien's head.

”Despite the twists and turns, we have achieved our purpose successfully after all…”

The moment such an idea occurred to Mecantron, Lucien, who was suffering from 'Chaotic Serpent' and 'Seal of Judgment' suddenly glowed with a green light and was reduced into a bright green puppet that was painted with weird patterns.

It looked at Mecantron with its hollow eyes, and a creepy smile on its face.

”A substitution puppet!”

A substitution puppet created by McLeod, the legendary alchemy master!

”Not good!” Mecantron was immediately shocked after seeing the puppet that was enshrouded in dark air and holy light. The Time Plate, in the meantime, had fallen into the hands of a shadow that was slowly surfacing. He wore a double-breasted suit and had a handsome face where the pupils were deep and dark and the monocle was glimmering. It was exactly Lucien Evans!

”The Chaotic Cosmos is still a cosmos. There's no need to create a vacuum…” Lucien thought to himself and raised his left hand, aiming at Mecantron who had just cast 'Seal of Judgment'. Looking at the guy's shocked face, he chanted the weird and profound voice that sounded from the vibration of particles:

”Positron Cannon!”
