Chapter 1645 The City of Unexpected Tales (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

boom--

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the enormous, upside-down city at the edge of the heavens.

From He'ao's current position, the distance between the enormous city and him was already very close.

Amidst that turbulent spatial current, he was likely swept directly into the deepest part of the outer area of ​​Sky City.

He could even see, through the light and shadow of the thunder, the exquisitely crafted, somewhat illogical, 'skyscrapers' on the outer edge of the city, and the tangled vines covering those skyscrapers.

What separates him from this enormous, upside-down city are a series of fine spatial and temporal rifts.

A violent wind swept through the fine cracks, and lightning surged between them like flowing water. Countless hailstones pierced through the void and fell between the cracks, instantly turning into fine raindrops.

He Ao stopped in front of the dense network of cracks, staring at them.

A severe feeling of suffocation enveloped his body, making his brain feel like it was about to faint at any moment.

He raised his hand, feeling the turbulent spacetime surrounding him and the restorative power covering his body.

He raised the Spear of Vestara in his hand and slashed his palm open, blood glowing with a purple light instantly flowing from it.

At the same time, twisted flesh writhed beneath his skin, faster and faster, and fine cracks spread across his skin.

It was as if a twisted and terrifying monster was writhing inside his body, ready to tear him apart and descend upon the world at any moment.

He raised his blood-stained hand and drew a 'K' on the palm of his other hand.

Then he took a deep breath, feeling the surge of power within his body.

He is praying to himself for 'personal blessing'.

He cannot fully unleash his angelic power, nor can he fully release his personality from the inside out, as that would instantly tear his body apart.

So he tried to indirectly 'pray' to himself in this way.

He didn't know if he could succeed, but he had no choice but to give it a try.

As if some invisible connection was established in the void at this moment, a faint purple glow lit up the characters in his hand, shimmering with bright light.

A vast and powerful aura overflowed from the depths of the void and landed on He Ao's body.

The moment that aura landed on He Ao's body, the twisted flesh beneath his skin instantly became restless, growing and spreading uncontrollably.

strengthen!

He gripped the Spear of Vestas tightly and channeled its power onto Sivi.

In that instant, He Ao's body's 'restoration' power was greatly enhanced.

Just a moment.

Without hesitation, He Ao plunged directly into the dense array of spatial rifts.

Immediately afterwards, the spacetime rift trembled and was instantly torn apart, opening up a narrow spacetime passage.

At that moment, He Ao's body was torn apart, revealing bloody, writhing flesh.

Just as the flesh and blood were about to grow and expand outward, his body rushed into the time tunnel.

That vast aura vanished in an instant, the twisted and proliferating flesh and blood came to a standstill, and then it was suppressed by an invisible force, beginning to return to its original state.

That is the power of restoration.

A bizarre and fantastical space-time flashed by in He Ao's vision, and then he only felt a cold wind brush against his cheek.

He flew through the air and crashed into a snow-covered hill.

The Spear of Vestas pierced the sky and plunged into the snow beside him.

He glanced at Siwei in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know if Siwei could be restored in this state, so he carefully protected the ceramic doll to prevent her from breaking.

Blood stained the white snow. He turned over and lay on the ground, looking at the clear sky filled with stars.

His bloodied and mangled chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.

survived.

In that instant, his entire body structure underwent a transformation. If it weren't for the power of restoration suppressing him, he would have completely collapsed into a monster by now.

The technique for opening a time-space portal is actually quite simple; it's the technique he learned from the Goddess of Life in the historical world.

This spell can open a spacetime tunnel in a spacetime fractured area, leading to a place with a strong connection to the caster's mysticism.

This technique itself doesn't consume much energy, but it requires a high-level support to disrupt the underlying structure of the world.

He Ao can open his main body at will, but the body in this copy world is just a simple mortal.

Although Heo only prayed for his own position for a moment, and the position he descended was not even complete.

However, if he hadn't broken through to C-rank before setting off, raising his physical attributes to over 500, if he didn't possess the 'restoration' power from the 'abnormal' rank above angels, and if he didn't have the Vestalar Spear that could strengthen the abnormal rules, he would have already collapsed into a twisted angel monster.

He Ao was breathing heavily, feeling the cold air between heaven and earth.

The power of restoration enveloped him, gradually 'healing' his injuries.

However, the archbishop of the abnormal sect was indeed 'willing' to kill him.

Ryan's information about Sky City wasn't obtained from the Association of the Abnormal, but rather from the Archbishop.

Ryan's status in the Abnormal Association is far higher than Reed's, and he is deeply trusted by Denon, otherwise Denon would not have sent him to Xiluo City so quickly.

Ryan worked diligently in the Anomalous Association, repeatedly destroying the organizations of anomalous cults and making great contributions to the association.

And this very "hero" was the "adopted son" of the archbishop of the abnormal sect.

He was raised by the archbishop from a young age, then given a normal identity and, through a normal 'arrangement,' entered the Abnormal Association, where he met Denon, who had not yet become the president, and developed a deep friendship with Denon.

Step by step, he rose to a high position within the association.

Throughout the entire process, apart from occasionally asking for some information, the archbishop never asked him to do anything that would betray the Anomalous Association. He even gave him many of the Anomalous Cult's strongholds and the anomalies discovered by the Anomalous Cult, and promoted him.

So Reed didn't think there was anything wrong with him, and even trusted him a lot.

Denor is probably the same.

Ryan was even one of the leading candidates for vice president of the Abnormal Association.

Such a 'spy' should theoretically be used at a more critical moment to deliver a crucial blow to the Anomalous Association, or to pave the way for something important for the Anomalous Cult.

However, the archbishop of the Anomalous Cult used it to kill 'Heo', and even personally triggered the Sky City, a level 0 anomalous entity.

The archbishop certainly thought highly of him.

Of course, Heo also knew that the archbishop didn't respect him, but rather the 'angel' who was suspected to exist behind him.

The archbishop had probably confirmed this through various circumstances before making such an arrangement.

In retrospect, Sky City was indeed the most likely place to kill Heo.

At this time, He Ao had not yet grown up, and the Sky City was a typical place where one could not return. The level 0 anomaly seemed to be able to hinder the angels' search, and they could take advantage of He Ao's 'information gap' of not knowing about the existence of the Sky City to catch He Ao off guard.

Even though this might involve the archbishop losing a 'son' he had raised for many years, he did it without hesitation.

He had anticipated that the archbishop might attack him, and even expected to be attacked in the air, but the manner and intensity of this attack were indeed beyond his expectations.

This indicates that the archbishop's 'importance' towards him exceeded his initial expectations. It's likely that the conspiracy behind the aberrant sect is imminent, and time is of the essence. Otherwise, the archbishop wouldn't be so willing to go to such lengths to eliminate all possible threats.

However, He Ao had no other choice. He had to go to Willens to find out what the Abnormal Cult was up to, and to figure out the cause of Loren's parents' death and the reason for their 'abnormal' activity.

In a sense, the archbishop's actions were also a calculated move, attacking the choice you had no other option but to make.

Moreover, every move they make is a guaranteed kill.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

By planting their real names in the memories of their subordinates to monitor for leaks, they demonstrate meticulous planning and scheming, and may even be able to utilize extraordinary powers beyond the angels.

The angels of the Federation don't support idlers.

He raised his hand, and a spear flew into it. He used the spear to support himself and struggled to his feet.

Then he reached out and took a photograph from the pieces of clothing stuck to his body, and stuffed it into the glove in his hand.

This photo was taken from the orphanage. When he first passed through the time tunnel, his main focus was protecting the bracelet and this photo.

The bracelet is to prevent damage, and the photo is to prevent loss.

A chilling wind blew across his exposed flesh and the numerous deep, bone-revealing wounds hidden within it.

archbishop···

He glanced down at the fine cracks on the doll in his arms, pondering the word.

Then he looked up at the snow-covered night sky ahead.

A pair of pupils reflecting a faint light emerged from the darkness.

It was a large white tiger, five meters long.

A few minutes later...
Wearing a warm tiger-skin coat to cover his still-healing wounds and leather gloves to conceal the wounds on his hands, He used the Spear of Vestara as a crutch to support himself as he slowly made his way up the hillside.

The time-space portal will take him to a nearby area with a deeper connection to his mysticism. His power to open the time-space portal is very weak, so he probably won't be able to go very far, at most leaving the area near Sky City.

The presence of snow and the cold weather proved that he had not yet left the northern part of the Federation.

The most likely explanation is that he returned to the vicinity of Xiluo City.

Of course, if other occult connections are taken into account, he might also be able to reach Rock City.

After all, he wasn't really familiar with this spell, and he only gained his status for a moment, so he couldn't control his destination like a real angel.

If it's Rock City, things will be a bit bad. By the time he arrives at Willens from Rock City, the Archbishop's plans will probably be over.

He climbed up the hillside and looked ahead.

At the edge of his vision, on the other side of the hillside, a magnificent city was shimmering with bright light.

In front of the city, a thin ribbon of light connects to it, representing a convoy of vehicles moving towards the city.

I can't tell which city it is.

He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the convoy below.

He raised his spear, split a large tree beside him in half, carving it into the shape of a sled. Then he sat on the sled and slid down.

He attached his divine sense to the sled and sped through the snowy fields, the magnificent city growing larger and larger in his sight.

Xiluo City doesn't seem to be that big.

Soon, he passed through the mountains and forests and arrived at the square in front of the city.

A huge slogan carved on the city gate caught his eye.

Welcome to the Ice and Snow City – Cichliland
?

The small city gate ahead was lit up; although it was late at night, the passageways in and out of the city were still open as usual.

He Ao touched his cheek. Although there were still many fine scars on his face, they were not as obvious as those on his body. Under the effect of the restorative power, they had recovered a lot. With the help of the iris, he should be able to pass facial recognition.

Suppressing his doubts, he slowly moved forward toward the city gate.

——Ten minutes later——

"Good evening," the immigration officer sitting behind the glass window said, looking curiously at the data on the screen. The TV behind him was playing the latest news. "Loren, from Xiluo City, is entering the country using an electronic social security card."

He glanced at He Ao's tiger-skin coat with some curiosity. "Is your coat genuine leather? Or is it just a replica of this primitive style?"

“It’s genuine leather,” He Ao nodded gently and answered in a slow voice.

"What are the injuries on your face?" the staff member asked further.

“We were attacked on the way here,” He Ao said directly.

“You are not carrying any firearms,” the staff member said, raising his hand and pressing an electronic stamp on the screen next to him. “It’s not a short trip from Xiluo City to here. You came quite quickly.”

He raised his hand and turned on the biometric device next to him. "Could you please take a look over here? We need to perform facial and iris recognition."

He Ao raised his head and looked at the biometric device.

The device paused noticeably when it scanned He Ao's cheek, scanning three times in a row before stopping.

Ding--

After a brief pause, the green light on the counter rang, the gate beside it opened, and a staff member smiled and looked up. "Welcome to Cichliland. May the Queen of the North bless you. It's the Snow Festival now; please feel free to contact the nearest Snow Festival staff member if you need anything."

He raised his hand and placed a plastic card on the table. "This is a temporary pass for you. It is authorized by the city government and the city defense force. In Cichliland, this card is equivalent to a physical social security card and can also be used as proof of identity to avoid duplicate biometric identification. If you are going to the hospital, turn right after entering and you will find the hospital of Qunxing Pharmaceuticals."

"Thank you." He Ao took the plastic card.

"You're welcome," the staff member said with a smile. "Have fun, little hero, next up—"

He Ao: ?
Just then, the television behind the staff member showed the late-night news.

A huge photo of He Ao is currently being posted in the news.

The accompanying headline read, "Eighteen-year-old bravely storms an exploding factory to save Westloo."
