Chapter 1681 Planning Destiny (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"What?!" Vestann looked up at the sky.

Above the bright sky, amidst the continuous, inverted silhouettes of cities, a central building serving as an anchor point is now flashing intensely.

"It's an orphanage in Xiluo City?!" Vestain turned around and looked at Heo. "What did you do?"

"Maybe it's just that your people are incompetent?" He Ao shrugged and said casually.

Vestain's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "You have no idea who I've placed in Xiluo City."

“Oh.” He shrugged, offering no comment.

“I’ve sealed the key memories of all the key personnel beforehand,” Vestann said, his face darkening. “They will only be unsealed when the operation begins, so they can do as I say. You can’t get those memories of controlling the core items through pre-operation interrogation or mind reading.”

"What if they're too incompetent and have already been caught, giving away crucial information?" He Ao casually remarked.

"Impossible!" Vestain turned to look at Heo. "What did you do?"

"Are you two really the same person?" Heo glanced at him, then at Estella beside him. "Your personality split is a bit too severe."

"Are you dodging the question?" Vestain paused abruptly. "Are you stalling for time?"

He immediately looked up at the mist in the sky above.

Within the mist, the outline of a city with a central church began to flicker violently.

The symphonic rhythm that had been echoing in the sky was now disrupted by the chaos between the two cities.

At the highest point of that mist, at the source of all this tremor, the being, larger than the sky, seemed to have its movements slowed down as its rhythm was disrupted.

“The plan has encountered an unexpected situation,” Estella, standing at the front, said without hesitation. “Start the ceremony immediately.”

“Forcing the ritual to begin now will greatly increase the failure rate.” Vestaen’s figure flashed, and he appeared beside Estella.

“But at this point, we can’t worry about that anymore,” Estella said quickly.

Almost the instant she finished speaking, the outline of a city with a stadium at its core began to flash again.

“Execute that kid; he must have been doing some kind of sabotage in the shadows,” Vestain said immediately.

As he spoke, a series of brilliant green lights suddenly shone between the towering pillars around them, illuminating the dim sky and fields as if it were daytime.

Immediately afterwards, these rays of light, like slender spears, pierced towards Heo in dense array.

He quickly maneuvered in the narrow space, dodging the green light.

But when that slender ray of light fell to the ground, it was like a cable driven into the earth, taut and blocking out a part of the space.

The space where He Aoneng could move was also rapidly shrinking due to this gradual blockade.

At this moment, Heo simply raised his head, looked at Estella, and asked loudly, "I have another question. You, with the bodies of angels, controlled the power of gods and sealed a tyrant, yet you yourselves cannot even fully control this magic circle."

His voice was loud, piercing the dim night sky over the plains, "Can you tell me who gave you this sealing method in the first place? Or is the person who possessed the sealing method already dead?"

But no matter what Heo said, Estella remained with her back to him, expressionless, looking up at the sky.

The dense green rays of light piercing towards Heo grew stronger and stronger, almost completely sealing off his entire body.

At this moment, He Ao could barely stand on the ground and turn around in a small space.

But he didn't stop talking. Looking at Estella, he continued to shout, "What kind of expressions would your companions have if they saw what you're doing today? This seal must have suffered tremendous damage, right? You were the only one who survived back then. I'm afraid they made a choice and sacrificed themselves to let you live!"

His voice grew louder and louder, mingling with the hazy mist, like a trembling thunderclap, "They trusted you so much, but are the things you're doing now really worth the trust they placed in you back then?"

The dim void trembled, and a capable woman with a high ponytail appeared in front of He Ao almost instantly.

Through the gap between the pillars, green light filled her pupils. She stared at He Ao, her voice fast and hoarse, "Don't think I don't know what you've done. You had Denuoen publicize your deeds, making everyone in the twenty-six cities of the entire Northeast know your name and become aware of you."

She gazed at He Ao and said, “With this knowledge, you can establish some kind of mystical connection with them. I don’t know what you did, but it is clear that this is a high-level ability, and it is also an ability related to assistance and planning.”

She raised her hand, and a beam of green light suddenly shot out from behind, piercing He Ao's body and immobilizing him.

"This is the power you obtained from the god you prayed to, right?" Her voice was cold and hoarse. "But since you chose support-related abilities, it means your combat power is not strong. Not to mention, your body itself has been abnormally assimilated and cannot truly contain powerful forces."

She raised her hand, and countless rays of light shot out from all directions. "If you were hiding behind the scenes, as a schemer, I might actually have something to worry about. But now that you've come here and become my prisoner, your ultimate fate is sealed."

"Is that so?" He Ao stared at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The next instant, the green light piercing through his body was suddenly severed, and his body shot forward like a phantom.

Purple light enveloped his body, and red radiance ignited his pupils.

The green light between the two massive stone pillars flickered for a moment, but then it suddenly collapsed, torn apart by a terrifying and vast power.

The spear, enveloped in a red glow, arrived in front of Estella in an instant.

Estella was clearly taken aback by Heo's actions, and she shifted her body to the side, trying to create some distance.

But the long spear, glowing red, had already reached her.

The tip of the crystal spear landed on her pale throat, slicing across her skin.

But she still managed to dodge it, instantly putting distance between herself and Heola.

At the same time, huge stone pillars suddenly rose from the ground in front of her, forming a huge circle that surrounded He'ao.

The dazzling light connected between the stone pillars, and then walls linked together in front of the pillars, forming a huge and magnificent arena-like area.

He Ao darted around, trying to escape the arena's embrace, but the arena, like the cage he had just been in, seemed to follow his movements, steadily enveloping him.

Behind He Ao, the stone pillar that was originally used to seal him had collapsed and merged into the invisible void.

He Ao raised his head and looked ahead.

The abilities Estella is displaying at this moment have already transcended the realm of angels.

“Interesting, you actually managed to obtain the power of the God of War.” At this moment, in the most advantageous seat in this 'colosseum' directly in front of He Ao, Estella reached out and touched her neck. Blood with a green glow was flowing out from the thin wound on her neck.

Her skin writhed, trying to heal the narrow wound quickly, but just as the skin was about to close, a red glow would appear, forcefully holding the wound in place.

“You use taunts to draw my attention, then unleash your trump card for a fatal blow,” Estella ignored the wound on her neck and looked down at Heo. “But you should also know that your body can’t withstand too much power. Even if you really have angelic power, you can’t use it.”

"cough--"

Standing in the center of the arena, Heo coughed lightly, glanced at the blood mixed with red, purple and green light in his palm, and the 'K emblem' pointing to 'Nel' on his palm, and remained silent for a moment.

He activated his super memory in an instant, and while gaining the super memory status and power, he also prayed for a portion of the God of War's divine intervention through Nel.

All his previous words and sarcasm were paving the way for this moment.

However, Estella's reaction speed was even faster than he had expected.

Although Estella always lived a secluded life, she was different from the angels who grew up in the later stages of the Federation and did not engage in much fighting.

She truly lived through the Great Cataclysm era, traversing the former Federation and then the current Federation. During this time, she even participated in sealing the usurper god. Her combat skills and instincts far surpass those of angels who grew up during the Federation era.

Her guess about how He Ao interfered with her plans was actually correct.

The ability of the 'Memory Master' is to manipulate the memories and destinies of others through mystical connections. However, the previous characters were isolated by mystical knowledge, which prevents him from directly influencing others through the fame of the previous characters. Moreover, the fame of those characters in the Northeast region may not be that high.

This is why Heo initially had Denor promote his 'deeds'.

Using the propaganda machine of the Abnormal Association, his existence was forcibly instilled in the people of the twenty-six cities in Northeast China, so that the people of the entire Northeast region would have a basic impression of him.

Once a basic mystical connection is established, Hoo can use it to influence their memories and weave their destinies.

Of course, He Ao did not actually weave everyone's fate, as that would involve too much complexity. He merely wove some false memories as 'hints' so that those he chose could smoothly discover or do certain things.

Those he chose included members of both the Anomalous Association and the Anomalous Cult.

The 'planner's' abilities also helped him to some extent, allowing him to better handle certain details and make the whole event proceed in the direction he envisioned by changing subtle aspects.

The reason why the Federal Twenty-Six Cities Anomalous Association's operations have been so successful is precisely because of this.

Of course, his fate wasn't entirely unchanged during this process; some high-ranking superhumans from abnormal sects were able to see through false memories using certain tools.

Only by truly triggering and modifying real memories, and deflecting the true line of fate, can the desired effect be achieved.

However, He Ao was very restrained throughout the process, making as few key changes as possible to achieve the desired effect with minimal effort.

This was his first large-scale, group-based editing and influence on destiny. He was extremely cautious, but at the same time, he felt the connection and changes in the threads of fate.

The final result was exactly as he had planned.

Even if Estella could guess Heo's actions, it was already hindsight, and she had no way to forcibly intervene in the course of the event.

Once the anomalies in the twenty-six cities of Northeast China are completely under control, the so-called anomaly release plan will naturally be 'pacified'.

The city's reflection flickered in the sky, and one 'anomaly' anchor point after another began to malfunction.

Standing on the high platform, Estella gave Heo a deep look. She understood the situation and sighed hoarsely, "When I first met you, I really should have killed you."

"Then I really should thank you for sparing my life back then, cough—" He Ao covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then laughed.

“But it’s not too late now.” Estella glanced down at him and gently raised her hand.

Beams of light converged before He Ao, transforming into the shape of Vestann.

“Kid, I still have to take action,” Vestann laughed. “If it were me, I would want to kill you at any moment.”

He stared at He Ao and sneered, "You were badly injured just now, weren't you?"

Streaks of green light covered the sky, forming a radiant dome that sealed off the entire arena.

On that 'spectator stand', Estella's figure had already disappeared.

boom--

A deafening roar echoed across the sky, and above the mist-shrouded heavens, an invisible and terrifying behemoth began to move violently once more.

At that moment, the anomalies flashing in the sky seemed to be fixed by some terrifying force, and then the entire cloud covering the sky began to tremble slightly.

Estella seems to be trying to forcefully push through the 'release' using some means.

He Ao lowered his head and looked at the huge light and shadow in front of him.

Vestahn, or rather Estella, was right; he was indeed seriously injured.

Estella's experience was indeed rich enough that she could instantly determine that Heo had used the power of the God of War, and also assess Heo's physical condition.

The biggest problem with He Ao's body right now is not whether his body can withstand powerful forces, but the abnormal forces that reside in his body and have become a part of it.

The moment the powers of Hypermemory and the God of War enter, these abnormal powers will produce a violent rejection reaction, which will lead to internal tearing of his body and affect the performance of his power.

Otherwise, Estella wouldn't have been able to dodge his charged attack so easily.

He looked up at the turbulent mist in the sky and gripped the spear in his hand tightly.

He needs a power, a 'medium' that can harmonize abnormalities and hypermemory, and the power of the God of War.

If he cannot harmonize these forces, he will not be able to unleash the full power of his super memory, nor will he be able to defeat Estella.

He must die.

However, as he gazed at the trembling sky, a sudden realization flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, his divine sense surging within him.
