Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Unfortunately, all of that came to an end with a ridiculous assassination attempt.

But now, the former Lord Kal'tsit is still on Rhodes Island, and... he has set his sights on the Doctor.

The evil spirits of the Tower of Babel... I've admired them for so long.

Wei Yanwu recalled his terrifying doctoral resume in the elevator.

This is a true national hero, someone who has turned the impossible into the possible time and time again.

During the Kazdel Civil War, he humiliated countless people.

Countless military observers were dismissed simply because they reported that Theresa was doomed to defeat.

Even those important figures made the same prediction after receiving the intelligence.

When news of Theresa's assassination finally arrived, all the countries initially dismissed it as yet another strategic deception.

It wasn't until her army completely collapsed that those whose worldviews had been constantly challenged realized that the legendary evil spirit had failed for the first time.

And they even lost the king.

At that moment, countless people who had once hated her with a passion walked onto the street in disbelief, unable to believe it was real.

After confirming the news, the countries quickly took action to protect the remaining members of the Tower of Babel.

They need to ensure that Therese doesn't become too powerful.

Otherwise, with only the half-crippled Tower of Babel, Theresis would have already devoured it all.

After Theresa's death, many people lost their will to fight.

Nobody wants Theresis, who is obsessed with expansion, to take control of the Sarkaz.

If someone were to actually come to power, the countries would be more inclined to Theresa's position; no one wants to see a demon race armed to the teeth.

Of course, it would be best if the two of them fought forever, exhausting all the demons' energy.

They initially supported the weaker Theresa, but as the evil spirits of Babel emerged and gradually turned the tide, eventually gaining the upper hand, they turned around and provided Theresa with weapons.

Unfortunately, Theresa's death was too sudden.

But Therese didn't fare any better; he was forced into exile by various countries that didn't want him to be in power, and became regent in Victoria.

Although the two sides were at war, neither of the Sarkaz truly wanted Theresa to die.

Having orchestrated the assassination, he also lost the support of most of the Sarkaz.

No one was able to obtain Kazdel's homeland, and years of civil war had almost exhausted Kazdel's last bit of strength.

It is still a ruin there.

Neither Theresa nor Theresis could recreate the glory of the Sarkaz.

Now, the former Tower of Babel has been transformed into Rhodes Island, but that's okay.

The veterans who fought countless battles are still here, Kal'tsit, that unfathomable person, is still here, and the evil spirits of the Tower of Babel are still here.

They once created miracles.

Therefore, many people are generous to them, investing huge sums of money without caring, even though Kal'tsit repeatedly claims that Rhodes Island's goal is to cure Oripathy, a goal that many people consider a pipe dream.

They have that value.

Amiya, the apparent leader of Rhodes Island, has a promising future.

Kal'tsit, you never know where this mysterious woman will pull out her hidden connections. In the early stages of the Kazdel Civil War, Theresa was able to hold on entirely because she lobbied everywhere and garnered a lot of support.

Don't be surprised if one day you find that the lord who once helped you is also a guest of honor at the hands of your mortal enemy; this saying spread throughout Terra at that time.

Doctor, the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, needless to say, the phrase "unparalleled in the nation" says it all.

As long as she declares her loyalty to the Emperor of Yan, the Emperor will respond immediately to show his respect.

It is standard practice to personally greet talented individuals with respect.

No ruler could ignore her formidable reputation during the civil war.

If the doctor hadn't also fallen into a near-death state after that assassination attempt and been sent to a secret place for treatment, the people recruiting him would have been lining up at his door long ago.

Moreover, countries around the world firmly believe in this claim, since if the evil spirits of the Tower of Babel hadn't caused trouble, Theresa wouldn't have died so suddenly.

Only a very few people know a little bit of the inside story.

As for the Xia language?

Yes, he's very good at fighting.

But that's all he can do. As a ruler, he never lacks capable subordinates, and in his eyes, the people mentioned earlier are more worthy of his attention.

As the helmsman of Longmen, Wei Yanwu also has the idea of ​​investing.

They even considered having Rhodes Island establish a presence in Lungmen.

As long as they come, all kinds of preferential policies and tax reductions will be arranged.

Same now.

Knowing the slogans of Theresa, he wouldn't doubt Rhodes Island's original intentions, and he knew they would never associate with the Reunion Movement.

Therefore, it can be used for one's own benefit, and it can also help the niece build a good relationship with the Rhodes Island leadership, while also resolving this crisis.

They've already made a killing.

But he wouldn't tell Chen about all the preparations he had made.

Some things she has to discover on her own to grow.

Wei Yanwu went to great lengths for his niece.

Chen has vivid memories of this training ground.

I, too, once shed my sweat here.

But he hasn't been back since he returned from studying abroad.

She picked up a wooden sword, intending to throw it to Xia Yu, but to her surprise, the other shook her head and refused.

“I’m not used to using weapons,” Xia Yu rolled up her sleeves, revealing a clear smile. “I’m fine empty-handed.”

This is not a lie.

After all, the most powerful weapon is oneself. What could be more powerful than the Chains of Heaven?

"I suggest you use this sword," Xia Yu reminded Chen again when she saw him put down Chixiao and want to use the wooden sword.

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be very challenging."

Chen clenched her fists tightly; she sensed being looked down upon.

“Since that’s the case…” She put down the wooden sword, picked up the Crimson Sky sword, and pointed it, scabbard and all, in Xia Yu’s direction, assuming a fighting stance. “Then so be it!”

Then came a lightning-fast, cinematic leap.

This sword strike took ten years of practice.

There are very few people in the Royal Guard Bureau who can handle this.

But she was unable to take another step towards her goal.

Chi Xiao's sword sheath was aimed at Xia Yu's left shoulder. Judging from the power of the sword, if it hit, Xia Yu wouldn't be able to use his left hand for the next few days.

But the lightning-fast attack could only stop at the very last bit of distance.

Because one hand gripped the crimson scabbard.

"Not bad in terms of strength," Xia Yu nodded and said admiringly; "The speed is also alright."

If he had seen such swordsmanship in his previous life, he would probably have been dumbfounded.

Unfortunately, it falls short when compared to a body created by God.

It can't compare to the sword Talulah casually swung that day.

They're sisters, but the difference is quite significant.

Amiya was not surprised at all by the situation on the field.

Having witnessed the devastating power of that weapon, she became much more open-minded.

Kal'tsit remained unmoved, and the Doctor kept his hands in his pockets, looking completely indifferent.

Only Wei Yanwu leaned over seriously, even putting down his pipe.

He realized that he seemed to have underestimated this unknown man.

A single snowflake doesn't seem to prove anything.

If we also add Chen, who wields the Crimson Sky...

Chen clenched his hands, using almost all his strength.

But Chixiao remained completely still.

This made her feel a little frustrated.

So, it turns out, you really don't need weapons when facing yourself...

The current situation is such that we can already declare ourselves defeated.
