Chapter 197: Fusion Device
As the Knight Captain shouted, a beam of fire shot straight into the sky, bursting into red light that formed a series of light gates.
Within two seconds, a large contingent of tall knights swarmed out, filling the sky. Finally, Chief Judge Zorav, a bald knight with the character ‘Luo’ painted on his forehead, and Cha Nai Xue emerged from the light gates.
Luo Ke turned his gaze to Xia Feng below, a puzzled expression on his face. Where did this guy come from? He couldn’t find him at all these past two days.
Xia Feng looked around speechlessly, his confusion deepening. This was outrageous, the scale of this operation was too much! And why the hell was he an A-class wanted criminal?
Could it be that his actions at the Black Moon Holy See had been exposed? But that shouldn’t be the case…
Just as Xia Feng was pondering, Cha Nai Xue’s aloof and cold voice echoed from above: “Xia Feng, after investigation, you have been confirmed as a heretical disciple favored by the Eternal Day Evil God, the Eternal Day Holy Son. We are now legally apprehending you in accordance with the ‘Imperial Religious Law’ and the ‘District 51 Security Law’. Surrender immediately and do not resist in vain.”
Xia Feng looked up, staring at Cha Nai Xue expressionlessly.
Cha Nai Xue also looked down at him expressionlessly, faintly feeling her legs go numb beneath her skirt. She pressed her legs together, straightened her back, and with her beautiful eyes condescendingly staring at Xia Feng, she raised her hand and gestured to the knights: “Capture him.”
Xia Feng glanced at Zorav and the bald knight in the sky. Two Tier 5 Spirit Masters, and a few Tier 4s. Unless he used Crow Feather, escaping forcefully now was impossible.
Fine, let’s see what tricks this Black Moon Holy See is trying to pull.
However, Xia Feng had actually discovered something else that caught his attention.
Subconsciously, he used his Enlightenment Domain to sense all the spirit artifacts around him and found that one of them had a spiritual nature similar to the Elven Sacred Bow and also similar to the Forest Scepter.
While contemplating, Xia Feng walked up to a knight. “Come on, brother, put the handcuffs on me.”
The tall knight was surprised that this heretic wasn’t resisting at all and was even actively approaching. Seeing this, he didn’t waste any words and put specially made shackles on Xia Feng.
Xia Feng casually grasped the tall knight’s wrist and subtly released his grip.
[Copy successful—]
Because the special effect of using the Enlightenment Domain for group copying was too obvious, Xia Feng had to shrink the Enlightenment Domain to the size of his palm and then touch the target to achieve an undetectable effect.
As long as the Enlightenment Domain touched the target, it could ignore the rule that required spirit artifacts to be attacked to be copied, and directly copy the opponent’s spirit artifact.
After putting on the special shackles, Xia Feng walked into the light cage.
[C·Ring of Naiye – Temporary Copy Slot]
[One Leaf, One World: 5 cubic meters of alternate space, capable of storing all non-living things, including Spiritual Material and God-tier Belongings.]
[Detected ‘Mid-tier Spirit Artifact – Ring of Naiye’, whose spiritual nature is exactly between B·Elven Sacred Bow, C·Forest Scepter, and B·Light Spirit. It can link the three spirit artifacts and fuse them into one.]
Each spirit artifact was like scattered stars in the universe, their positions seemingly random.
However, if one star could be at the exact center, surrounded by several other stars, then the spirit artifact represented by that star would be called a ‘Mid-tier Spirit Artifact’: it could link the surrounding irregularly circling spirit artifacts together.
For example, the Elven Sacred Bow, Forest Scepter, and Light Spirit, the stars they represented formed an equilateral triangle in the starry sky.
The Ring of Naiye was precisely at the center of this triangle, and this was what made it a Mid-tier Spirit Artifact.
The core of the ability ‘Holy Solution: Fusion Device’ was to find a Mid-tier Spirit Artifact. As long as one could be found, it would be possible to sense other spirit artifacts that could fuse with it, even from a great distance.
However, after carefully sensing again through the Ring of Naiye, Xia Feng discovered that this Mid-tier Spirit Artifact was not actually at the center of an equilateral triangle, but at the center of a circle.
There were four spirit artifact slots on the edge of the circle. Three had already been lit up by him, and the remaining one was in a dim state. [(4/5) Fuse the four spirit artifacts?]
As long as there was a Mid-tier Spirit Artifact, further fusion could be performed at any time in the future. Therefore, even though one was still missing, it wasn’t a big problem.
Without hesitation, Xia Feng directly controlled the transfer of the four spirit artifacts into the ancient bronze mirror. Like an ancient bronze cauldron refining elixirs, the mirror’s surface shimmered with golden light, and flames rose.
It would take some time for the fusion to complete, so Xia Feng sat in the dungeon, waiting slowly.
He had already been imprisoned in the deepest dungeon of the Black Moon Holy See, his hands and feet shackled to a silver cross.
*Tap, tap, tap—*
The crisp sound of slender high heels tapping on the ground echoed in the dark corridor, as if someone was approaching.
Xia Feng looked up, only to hear a guard respectfully say in a deep voice: “Saintess.”
“Open the door,” the woman said lightly.
“Yes!”
After the guards bowed in unison, they obeyed and pulled open the pitch-black bars made of Boundless Stone.
*!*
The woman, dressed in an elegant snow-white long skirt, walked into the cell and calmly approached Xia Feng step by step.
Xia Feng’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he stared quietly at the woman.
Cha Nai Xue’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. After a two-second stare, her slender hand, covered by a transparent veil, suddenly reached out—
She pinched Xia Feng’s jaw, and a condescending cold smile flickered at the corner of her lips. “Xia Feng, I didn’t expect you to have this day.”
“.Esteemed Saintess, you’d better know when to stop.” Xia Feng smiled faintly, his calm gaze harboring a dangerous undertone.
Cha Nai Xue’s hand froze. She knew that even bound, Xia Feng would likely find a way to break free and then use the Slave Contract to severely punish her disrespect in this dim dungeon.
Although this was indeed an opportunity to betray Xia Feng and usurp his position, turning him into a male slave, after collecting and analyzing information about Xia Feng’s strength during this period, she had discovered a fact that filled her with despair: even in such a perilous situation, Xia Feng could still escape easily and kick her butt.
After some thought, she withdrew her hand with a sigh, ultimately abandoning the idea of defeating Xia Feng at this moment. Her stiff expression returned to indifference, and a calm voice sounded in Xia Feng’s mind:
“I’m actually here to tell you the real reason you were captured…”
After Cha Nai Xue’s explanation, Xia Feng had a general understanding of what had happened.
It seemed that the mastermind behind the garden held terrifying power and had directly usurped the host’s position. The Xuanwu Bureau Chief had been framed as the true mastermind behind the garden. Now, the Holy Department was in turmoil. Uncle Wei had discovered the crisis in advance and fled, while the White Dragon Walker was also missing.
It could only be described as outrageous. They thought exposing the garden would bring out the real mastermind, but they still couldn’t outplay them.
Even more outrageous was that because of Uncle Wei, Xia Feng had also been falsely accused of being the Eternal Day Holy Son.
Ah, wait… From a certain perspective, wasn’t I actually the Eternal Day Holy Son?
