Light Fortress Chapter 1941 - 20: Sky Sheath

Long night.

The surface of the Ice Sea shattered, a massive airship like a great whale poked its head out, crashing through the sea surface.

Standing on Yuanting Island, one could see the towering flames.

The Storm lifted waves hundreds of miles wide.

Even the followers in the distant Holy City felt something unusual... In the direction of the Ice Sea, a scorching pillar of light rose to the sky, and by ascending high enough, one could see the grand and magnificent scene to the utmost extent.

The Starship was igniting.

The deafening roar of explosions echoed throughout the entire sea area.

Beneath the huge waves caused by the Storm, Yuanting Island looked like a small, lonely boat.

"Rumble!"

The "lucky ones" who could board the Starship were placed in the life pods to rest, with the closed AI developed by the church, transmitting the current scene outside through the Spirit Network.

The Transcendents above third-tier, the operating staff inside the Starship, were "fortunate" to be able to come to the porthole at this moment, witnessing the ignition and takeoff of the Starship firsthand.

Thousands of square miles of seawater were ignited by azure flames.

The Starship was like a meteor.

They were sitting inside the meteor, watching "themselves" bloom with brilliant and dazzling blazing light.

"Just leaving like this."

Hai Tong Saint held a wine glass, standing quietly in front of the porthole, his expression somewhat complicated.

As a Saint of Holy City.

They all had independent and autonomous living spaces, close to the Storm God’s Throne, like "neighbors" to each other.

"Yes... just leaving like this."

Jiadi Saint, the youngest in Holy City, also stood before the same large porthole at this moment.

Jiadi Saint’s eyes showed an irrepressible loneliness and confusion.

He softly repeated Hai Tong Saint’s words and said, "It’s really like a dream."

That was their homeland.

Now, one must add a "former" to it.

The escape plan of the Storm was only known to the Spring Plow Saint, even for them, the absolute high-ranking figures of the Storm Church, they only received the notification recently... In this matter, they were no significantly different than the ordinary followers relocated into the life pods of the Storm.

The reason behind Lord Divine’s actions.

In fact, they could understand.

[Deep Sea] had infiltrated the entire Five Continents... To ensure that this plan would not be leaked, the only way was not to spread it out.

But being "used as a pawn" did not feel good.

What made them even more uncomfortable was the forcibly added "new colleagues" on this Starship.

"The two of you, now is not the time to be sentimental."

A cold and indifferent voice sounded.

Red Dragon left the Storm God’s Throne hall and happened to see these two Saints, he said calmly, "After the Starship is ignited and sets sail, there are many trivial matters to handle."

The AI developed by Holy City, whether in terms of intelligence level or independence, could not compare to [Deep Sea].

Therefore.

Even though ignition was successful.

Many of the defensive facilities inside the Starship needed "manual" inspection.

These matters could certainly be handled by low-level Transcendents... but when it came to high-risk "attack permissions," it must be handled by the Saints themselves.

"We know what to do, no need for your reminder."

Hai Tong Saint glanced at Red Dragon with a cold snort, not in a friendly manner.

Although there were internal disputes in Holy City over the years.

Their attitude towards "outsiders" remained consistent.

Red Dragon, such a traitor, once betrayed the Source Tower, and could betray the church again... They knew Lord Divine would not easily use such individuals, and now given a heavy responsibility, a soul contract was most likely signed, but after all, the two were once opposing enemies, now encountering each other inside the Starship naturally carried hidden anger.

However, anger was one thing, fighting was never an option.

Hai Tong knew his own strength by heart.

Not to mention that Red Dragon now controlled the "origin," even discarding [Tide] to engage in a one-on-one... he could not defeat this monster.

"..."

Red Dragon glanced at Hai Tong expressionlessly.

He merely gave a light reminder earlier and then remained silent.

He knew how the church viewed him after signing a soul contract with the Storm God’s Throne.

Nothing but disgust, derogation, contempt...

But he did not care.

If it could prevent the Ancient Literature Society from being undermined by the Storm, and staying alive.

He was already satisfied.

...

...

"The Starship... has started."

In the Initial, Gu Shen raised his head.

Zhou, standing in the Storm at this moment, stood in front of the porthole, gazing up at the night sky over the Ice Sea, through this Hypnosis Seed, he witnessed everything happening over the Ice Sea.

Gu Shen no longer viewed the scenes of the Storm through "Zhou’s" Hypnosis Seed.

His gaze carried some regret.

The plan to rescue Red Dragon ultimately failed.

Actually... with the Storm God’s Throne overseeing, the Ancient Literature Society had no better methods other than monetary transactions, and according to the Holy City’s attitude towards the Source Tower, once entering the realm of the Ice Sea, they would inevitably be "slaughtered."

In every sense of the word "slaughtered."

With Lie Renuo killed, [Deep Sea] would inevitably be enraged, as this was an extremely important top strength of the Central Continent, yet it was silently crushed by the Storm Church!

But... no matter how enraged, it was useless.

The Storm Church had sailed away.

It’s not even staying in the Five Continents, what more could you do?

As one of the Seven Gods, the Storm God’s Throne had been wary of [Deep Sea] since thirty years ago, and Turing sent aboard the Starship would not leak the escape plan... Even though [Deep Sea]’s computing power was strong, it would still make errors in the absence of information. For the Three Continents Alliance, this was actually an inspiring message.
