Chapter 342: The Chosen Battle Before it got dark, Sherlock returned to the Newland city area with several core members of the Stuart family who had been completely controlled by Levi. The first thing he did when he returned here was to control the son of Grand Duke Stuart, and then he issued orders in his name, forcing the Grand Duke's Palace and the Council of Elders to issue decrees. All industrial activities in the factory area were stopped, and all farmers and workers in the southeast of Xinlan were forcibly relocated to the urban area. He did this, of course, to avoid the subsequent fight between Levi and the Green Day Chosen One from affecting innocent people. But Green Day's chosen one came to New York. Even if Levi didn't plan to kill him and did nothing, he would never give up after learning about the death of Grand Duke Stuart. This battle is inevitable, and Sherlock is not so pedantic as to think that in order to avoid harming innocent people, he should make his own people pay unnecessary costs. He would only ask Levi for help to gain control of the Stuart family, and then arrange for the evacuation of all personnel from the area where the battle might take place as quickly as possible. By now, when it had gotten dark, the entire eastern and southern suburbs of Xinlan had been basically cleared out, and all the people were forcibly relocated into the urban area. Such actions, even though issued in the name of the Stuart family, still caused dissatisfaction among many powerful people in the city.
Those dirty and low-class people poured in, polluting the clean and tidy urban area, making it dirty and messy. These people were extremely disgusted. Some even knew that the Grand Duke was not actually in the city, and that such an order was given by his son. They all went to the Grand Duke's Mansion and forced him to revoke such an order. Faced with such people, Sherlock did not hesitate at all and killed all the nobles who broke into the Grand Duke's Palace without permission! Before leaving the academy, Sherlock might not have been so extreme. He still believed that there must be good people among those in power. But after he met Levi and was influenced by him, and after he returned to Iris and really came into contact with some affairs. He felt that Levi's previous ideas were a bit conservative. Even if all these rentiers were killed, the number of innocent people among them could be counted on one hand! And it was not enough to just move people from the east and south. Sherlock knew very well what the battle between the chosen ones would be like. He also pushed for a new decree to be issued, allowing hundreds of thousands of people in Xinlan City to move towards the northwest, and they had even begun to prepare to go directly to the barrier on the northwest side. Such a policy has encountered even greater resistance. Not to mention leaving the city, it is even difficult to get citizens in the eastern part of the city to leave their homes. But Sherlock didn't have the energy and energy to take care of such things. He was only responsible for issuing such orders, which was also the last thing he should do. As night fell, the whole of Xinlan was in chaos, especially the eastern part, where the shouting and cursing of the original city residents could be heard everywhere. The sky, which had originally darkened, suddenly became bright again! Such a sudden change made the city, which was noisy in the previous second, become quiet in an instant. Everyone was shocked by the change at this moment, and everyone looked up at the sky! It had only been dark for less than an hour, but now it seemed as if the night had ended and the day had returned to normal! The light cloud that covered the entire city and attached under the dome, which was used to simulate various weather conditions, night and day, was now like a wave of the sea, causing a surging wave! The clouds and mist rolled, and an amazing scene happened from the west and north of Xinlan! The light representing the meteorological rules began to shrink towards the southeast! The clouds left their original positions, revealing the bare dome on top, which was no different from a barrier. It was running like waves, responding to someone's call and constantly gathering! Soon, the bright cloud that had illuminated the entire Xinlan turned dark again. However, it’s not that these clouds stopped shining, but that they all gathered to the southeast in just a dozen seconds! Most of Xinlan fell into darkness again. People could no longer feel the slightest movement of the wind. The whole world seemed to have entered doomsday. The silence and darkness were so frightening! But in the southeast, there was an astonishing light! The Xinlan people have never seen the so-called dawn. Not only them, but the entire underground human race has never seen the sun truly rise in thousands of years. At this moment, everyone saw a dazzling red and white light rising from the southeast! "Boom!!!" The deafening thunder made the ground tremble! The strong wind hit the earth, raising countless flying sand and rocks, which continuously hit the hard stone walls of the barrier. When the great power that only exists in nature erupted with its anger, even the stone wall connecting the sky and the earth could not bear it. Broken stones kept sliding down from it and fell to the ground with a huge roar! Pastor Hong looked at Levi, who was floating in the sky, standing in the center of the terrifying cloud that had turned into a whirlpool. The smile on his face not only did not diminish, but became even more intense.
"This is such a grand scene. If I remember correctly, this authority should be in the hands of the Central Atmospheric Institute, right? How did you get it? I have never heard of any changes happening in the Atmospheric Institute during this period. Has anyone died?" Having said that, Pastor Hong suddenly frowned and looked down at the entrance of the safe house in the fortress. "No. You said you got the authority by killing Archduke Stuart, but his authority has nothing to do with weather, right?" His question did not receive any response, and Pastor Hong seemed not to be prepared to get any real answer from Levi. Soon he chuckled again. "Forget it. Even if you tell me, I may not believe you. Just wait for me to dig the answers out of your head myself!" Those insects that were flying around his body, facing the strong winds that could blow up boulders weighing several tons, were still in the constantly flowing air. They were like nails that were firmly fixed in the air. Suddenly, they gathered towards the priest's body! The overwhelming swarm of insects wrapped him up, just like the Antarctic ice catfish migrating with the ocean currents, occupying a space of about 240 square kilometers and bursting out huge energy! Levi looked at the dense, nauseating swarm of insects without any expression on his face. He was feeling the subtle degree of control he had over the ubiquitous rules of this world after advancing to the Chosen One. Only when he really saw this scene did he understand why the gap between the third level and the chosen one was so huge, so huge that it was unimaginable, it was completely like two different species! If the so-called mastery of the rules at the first, second and third levels is just borrowing and changing the basic structure of this world, then the Chosen One is the God who holds this rule in his hands! Levi could clearly feel that as long as he wanted, he could create all kinds of extreme weather that were rarely seen in millions of years for the space he was in in an instant! It is even possible to completely eliminate the existence of weather, so that the city of Xinlan will have no wind, rain, thunder or lightning, day or night. Although he has not achieved this step directly now, he is almost there. The light cloud that was constructed and was responsible for the weather in each city and the day and night was essentially the materialization of meteorological rules. After he became the Chosen One, this thing completely became a part of his body. He can control, confiscate, or even eliminate it at will. And the various phenomena that occur between gas flows and collisions are the responsibilities he controls. Just like a spinning top, flat on top and pointed at the bottom, the whole thing is constantly spinning. The glowing clouds brought about a wind that was more violent and violent than any other situation! The air flow began to rotate on the spot, and the strong wind was like countless giant hands, tearing the entire land apart, including of course the swarm of insects spread by Priest Hong! The black swarm of insects collided with the clouds that were shining with white light. It was obvious that one side was just flesh and blood, and the other side was intangible water vapor. At the moment of contact and collision, a distorted wave visible to the naked eye was generated! "Boom!" A loud noise like a gong exploded in this space! With the collision of the two forces as the center, the barrier just a few feet away began to collapse as violently as an avalanche on a snowy mountain! The entire Xinlan is constantly expanding in this power clash, and the rules attached to this city are also expanding with the collapse of the barriers. However, the speed at which the rules expand is far less than the speed at which the stone walls collapse and melt! Soon, a space was born where there were no rules and everything existed only in nothingness and chaos. It is a place of death for life. Even if one is chosen by God to enter, it is impossible for him to survive for even a minute. He will be swallowed by the disorder inside and eventually perish! At this moment, between the black and white, a dazzling purple light flashed, and the deafening sound of thunderstorm echoed in the ears of everyone in Xinlan. It was like an angry rebuke from heaven. Everyone who heard the sound felt dizzy at that moment, and there was only a ringing sound in their ears! As the purple lightning lit up, the electric light like a big net spread towards the black swarm of insects. Those insects that seemed indestructible, harder than steel, faster than lightning, and completely unlike living things finally showed signs of mass death! A rain of insects fell from the sky southeast of Xinlan, and countless insect corpses fell to the ground. Even though those creatures were dead, they still possessed energy that ordinary people could not understand. After each corpse fell to the ground, it was like a nail dropped from the sky, and began to destroy everything on the ground! The factory area near the barrier had been razed to the ground in the initial collision, but a number of large and small "meteorite" craters were added to the devastated ground. The area affected by this insect rain was not only the suburbs of Xinlan, but also a part of the eastern part of the city, an area of about 20 to 30 square kilometers.
Those urban residents who had clearly received reminders and government orders but were unwilling to move no matter what, had no means of survival in the face of such a "natural disaster", and even the thought of regret had not yet arisen in their minds. The insect corpses had already smashed through the ground, causing this piece of land to completely disappear from Shinran's territory in an instant! But Levi, who had achieved these results, still kept his eyes fixed on the figure in the insect swarm that could not be seen with the naked eye. He could clearly feel that the death of those insects was not because his attack was effective, but because the other party deliberately gave up on those insects! Just as Levi was thinking this, a blood-red light flashed in the darkness. At this moment, Levi's heart was filled with alarm! His movements were also quick, and the light clouds surrounding him changed from water vapor to mist. The white mist covered half of Xinlan, and the drifting mist not only blocked people's vision, but also hindered the movement of objects like sticky mercury! But even with such obstruction, the speed at which the blood flashes burst out was still beyond people's imagination! Levi could only see a shadow! Hong, who was originally wearing the black robe of a Twilight Priest and always had a smile on his face, now has completely lost his hypocritical look! His eyes were pitch black, with only a hint of blood red in the pupils. Behind him was a pair of transparent wings that were trembling at a high frequency, and in his hand he was holding a sharp spear made of flowing blood! Levi began to fall rapidly from the sky! Because of his attribute points, he is always physically stronger than other scientists of the same level, so he never has to worry about close combat. But that priest Hong is obviously a chosen one who controls the rules of biology! After truly experiencing the strength of the Chosen One himself, Levi was convinced that with his current level of physical fitness, unless he also upgraded a certain biological skill to the level of the Chosen One, there was no possibility of him fighting against the opponent physically! Similarly, the speed at which Levi fell from the sky also caused Hong, who was rushing over, to slightly shrink his blood-red pupils. Of course he could see that this speed was very wrong and was definitely not normal, but he did not hesitate at all. The moment he saw Levi falling from the sky to the ground, he opened his arms. Countless insects around him were dying at an accelerated rate, and the blood spear in his hand was getting longer and thicker! Just as he also fell from the sky, following closely behind Levi, wanting to give him a fatal blow the moment they both landed on the ground! A powerful force generated from the ground suddenly became ineffective on him and all the insects around him! (End of this chapter)
