Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1096 - 1097: Melee

Agunas swung its claws, and translucent colorless arrows bombarded the massive black ribbon-like object, with translucent ripples surfacing on the object, a result of the arrows striking an invisible barrier. Agunas wiped its claws across the books, and ancient tomes appeared beside it, not even waiting for Agunas to act, Xiao Ji let out a cry and whipped up a storm of ghastly blue flames towards the black ribbon-like object.

"We can’t get any intel at all."

Looking at the data filled with question marks, Guo Huai shook his head at Feng Yuan, expressing that his system seemed ineffective against this entity. Veronia pointed at the black ribbon-like object, and crystal vine-like plants at her feet continuously sprawled toward the black, with golden crystal flowers blooming recklessly on the destroyed road.

Glancing at the buildings around and the pedestrians who hadn’t had the chance to escape, Feng Yuan swung his Sickle, and a dark shadow spread from beneath him towards the black ribbon-like object.

"What on Earth is this?"

Old Wei frowned slightly upon seeing the buildings being covered by shadows, then snapped his fingers. The pitch-black shadows shredded the solid walls, but contrary to expectation, no concrete debris flew about; the buildings seemed to fade away like shattered data models, turning into tiny glowing characters and gradually vanishing.

Looking up at the sky, Old Wei frowned slightly again.

Mist Island, those at Lorraine Tower watched with a grave expression as tiny flickering cubes outside the mist attempted to spread from an invisible boundary into the mist that enveloped Mist Island, violently clashing with the powers of Lorraine Tower constituting the mist.

"What a hassle..."

Lazing in the Yimu Qingling tower and lying on the bed, Gitalien waved his hands dissatisfiedly, stood up, and mumbled to himself as he stared out the window,

"What on earth is it, to cause such a commotion?"

"What exactly is it?"

Lorna looked out the window with a puzzled expression. Though it seemed like everything outside was business as usual, she knew well that something must have happened by now. Gladys took out her phone as if she wanted to make a call, but then, recalling something, she turned to Lorna and asked,

"Is this situation dangerous?"

"I don’t know, but I can no longer see the existence of time."

Lorna said calmly as she looked out the window, eyes closed, pondering over something.

"What exactly are those things?"

Liao Yu, with a headache, spoke to Ye Hanlei, who checked her weapons while responding,

"I don’t know, but I am aware that this might require the help of Data-based Spirit Beasts."

"Right, there have been similar occurrences in other regions as well. What’s with these past few days? It’s bad enough that the underground sewers have been occupied by strange things, but why are these things causing destruction too..."

Liao Yu couldn’t help but complain again as he spoke, as they still had no clue about the black branch-like objects in the sewers, and now this new situation had arisen.

"As long as we ensure the safety of the civilians, that’s all we need to do. As for the truth, it’s not our concern."

Huo Feng glanced at Liao Yu and said calmly, then picked up his weapon and added,

"Let’s go, they’ll probably have a hard time maintaining order on their own."

The black ribbon-like object, ablaze with eerie blue flames, violently thrashed as if attempting to fiercely slam into the ground. However, how could Agunas and the others possibly let it succeed? Crystal vines entwined the massive black ribbon-like object, and although the crystal vines appeared exceedingly fragile, they were in fact incredibly tough; the black object struggled in vain to escape the grasp of the crystal vines.

Agunas waved its claws, looking puzzled at the light river that appeared out of nowhere. Despite the grandeur of this move, both it and Feng Yuan could tell the light river was but a hollow form, without any real force. Why was that? Everyone was utterly baffled.

This light river was not Agunas’ ploy to intimidate, it was an ultimate move terrifying enough to be used by Time Series Divine Beasts, capable of summoning a river of time to wash over and annihilate their enemies, one that they would only employ against foes demanding their full power.

"Could it be?"

Feng Yuan looked at the black ribbon-like object with an inexplicable expression. Though the end struck by their attacks had become uneven, with numerous holes of varying sizes appearing on the black object, its origin remained a mystery. Thinking it over, Feng Yuan turned to Veronia and said

"Let’s not worry about this thing for now, let’s see where it actually comes from."

Veronia nodded, and with a wave of her parasol, everyone slowly began to float up. Just as they approached the location where the black strip-like object extended into the void, Feng Yuan felt a sudden heaviness and, after a drop, floated in midair, no longer advancing. Before Feng Yuan could voice his inquiry, Veronia explained,

"It seems I can’t move forward either, it’s like... a no-fly zone?"

"There’s a problem."

Agunas landed back to the original spot, looking strangely at the space rippling from the protrusion of the black strip-like object, spoke. It just tried to charge through, but an unexpected event occurred. Despite its innate ability to float and fly, it lost its flying ability the moment it entered that range, just as if Veronia’s ultimate move have failed.

"Is it a no-fly zone, or is it what I’m thinking?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan with some concern and asked, raising the Black Longbow in his hand. Feng Yuan yanked it fiercely, and an arrow burning with light blue flames appeared on the Longbow. Aiming, Feng Yuan said,

"I don’t know, but it’s easy to verify."

The arrow burning with light blue flames shot through the no-fly zone, and before Agunas and the others could say anything, the arrow disintegrated into countless sky blue semi-transparent little cubes in midair.

"Just as I thought! The rules ahead have indeed been completely rewritten."

Feng Yuan said with a grim expression, Guo Huai looked towards Agunas and them and asked,

"Can they still be of help then?"

"No, but I need assistance. Xiao Ji, don’t run around later, stick close to me!"

Putting away the Sickle, Feng Yuan took out an ancient-looking Lantern and said to Xiao Ji, the Lantern with a light blue flame burning within, unlike usual, was now constantly emitting visible semi-transparent fluctuations. Feng Yuan then looked at Guo Huai and asked,

"How are you at riding technological skateboards?"

Guo Huai smiled slightly and said,

"Not bad."

"Then let’s go."

As Feng Yuan finished speaking, sky blue little cubes appeared in front of them and quickly condensed into two skateboards full of technological feel. Feng Yuan grabbed Little Ice Cream from his shoulder and, ignoring its dissatisfaction, tossed it over to Veronia, saying,

"Help me take it into the World of Mirrors. I may not be able to look after it in what’s coming next."

The dissatisfied Little Ice Cream was startled at first then became quiet and obediently entered the World of Mirrors. Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Do I need to change back to my original form as well?"

"Definitely. I don’t like anyone wrapping their arms around my waist, especially when playing with flying skateboards. Agunas, you and Veronia stand on my shoulders. Xiao Ji, come here, stand in front of me."

Feng Yuan commanded, standing on the skateboard, with Xiao Ji in front of him. Although a little obstructive, it wasn’t too much of an issue due to Xiao Ji’s small stature. At this time, Guo Huai also had Pu Pu stand on his shoulder, and both men were ready, giving each other a glance with a slight smile, they stepped on the button behind and the skateboards carrying the two rushed towards the source of the black strip-like object.

Delong Tower angrily watched the black thorns, those strange things that were gradually covering the seabed of the Starlit Sea. The wild currents kept hitting those thorns, but it was as if they were in a different world altogether, completely unaffected by the currents. A dazzling column of light hammered towards those black thorns; it was an infuriated Delong Tower changing its attack methods.

The enormous energy beams continued to sweep across those black thorns, turning them into debris. After a while, looking at the seabed of the Starlit Sea restored to its original state, Delong Tower’s expression was ugly.

"Why are they so difficult to deal with?"

Dodging the black strip aimed at him, Wu Feng looked up at the Vermilion Bird in the sky; his Flame Sprite floated beside him, occasionally throwing a ball of flames to blast away those black strips. The Vermilion Bird kept launching attacks on the huge black strip-like object, but it was a bit too forced for it to deal with it by itself, even Agunas and the others couldn’t solve it in a short time.

Veludante was just as exhausted in dealing with it; however, the Mordan region was rather special—there, the huge black strip-like object seemed to be suppressed, its size and strength were far weaker than in other regions.
