The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Although there was only the sound of thunder but no lightning.

　But humans have a natural fear of lightning, and many people couldn't help but shudder.

　As if in sync with the "thunder," the "chessboard" beneath their feet also began to shake violently.

　This scene, like thunder and an earthquake, vainly vents the anger of those behind the scenes.

　The prophets made their calculations, some looking ashen-faced, others bewildered.

　"Boom!"

　The thunder suddenly intensified again, becoming deafening.

　The thunderous roar was almost touching their scalps, causing widespread panic. Usopp Cross's location was given particular attention.

　He stood at the very front, surrounded by the sound of thunder, his heart pounding violently like a drumbeat, guided by the thunder.

　His face was extremely pale, and his hands and feet seemed to be trembling. "Slap!"

　Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

　Usopp Cross shuddered and was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

　This is completely inconsistent with his loud shouting just now.

　It's impossible to tell whether he's tough or not. The contrast between his earlier shouts at the sky and his current trembling state is stark.

　It's impossible to tell which one is the real Usopp.

　As Usopp was frightened to the ground, the surrounding thunder and ground tremors became increasingly excessive.

　Suddenly, the chessboard space transformed into an apocalyptic scene, causing the atmosphere to become tense.

　They weren't unaware that the "apocalypse" was just a bluff. But they were currently in someone else's space, and if things really came to a head, they didn't know what the other party would do.

　The countdown on the screen had long since reached zero, but the text of the question had not disappeared, and the screen did not display whether it was right or wrong.

　Mr. A stood in the air, expressionless and silent. There was no "rewinding six spaces," nor "returning to the starting point." There was no punishment whatsoever.

　The thunder and earthquake lasted for almost ten minutes before suddenly stopping. Then, changes finally appeared on the light screen.

　The single phrase "Where is Norren?" suddenly multiplied, layer upon layer, as if the system had been invaded by a virus, rapidly covering the entire light screen—even extending beyond the light screen, continuing to copy and overlap in the void.

　The prophets, who had just recovered from the thunder, were immediately engulfed by the screen full of "Where is Norren?"

　The entire space quickly became filled with that one sentence. Finally, someone couldn't resist making a move.

　The white barrier expanded instantly, forcing "Where is Norren?" out of reach.

　Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Usopp and Croni were the only ones not included in the barrier's range.

　He crouched down, covering his head, trying to see and hear nothing. He was surrounded by a dense swarm of "Where is Norren?", and in the blink of an eye, he was completely encircled.

　Upon seeing this, Dark instinctively looked back at the tower master of the "Star Tower".

　Edgar Swift specifically named Usopp to play, but now he's ignoring him.

　He remained standing there, his face expressionless.

　But he slightly raised his head, his gaze moving slowly, as if searching for something. Dak's heart skipped a beat, and he made a slight guess.

　Having observed for so long, the patience of the "Star Tower" master must be nearing its end.

　Finally, the person behind the scenes was lured out, and we can finally close the net!

　as predicted.

　Edgar Swift's gaze suddenly stopped moving and fixed on a certain point in the void.

　The next moment, a black light suddenly shot out from his sleeve, moving through the air as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the barrier set up by the prophet, shattered the surrounding light screen, and shot towards a certain place in the void.

　"what--"

　A scream suddenly echoed from the void.

　Edgar Swift's attack actually hit!

　The “Where is Noren,” which was trying to fill the entire space, suddenly stopped multiplying and then began to disappear at a visible rate.

　The black light revealed its true form: a small, jet-black ferret! After landing, the ferret bared its teeth at the spot it had just bumped into. Dark immediately recognized it as a psychic-type magical sprite called the "Space Ferret"! At first glance, the "Space Ferret" didn't seem much different from an ordinary ferret. However, it not only possessed powerful physical abilities but also the ability to penetrate space. This allowed it to easily pass through barriers and light curtains, and then grab and bite the entity hidden within the inner walls of space.

　But after being bitten, the mastermind immediately broke free and disappeared again. Edgar Swift reached out and hooked the smaller black "space ferret" back onto his body, crawling up his shoulder, arm, and onto the back of his hand.

　He squinted slightly, gently stroking the "Space Mink's" soft fur, carefully sensing its texture.

　The "Space Sable" leaves a curse mark after biting its opponent.

　It can instantly transfer between spell seals, but the spell seal is destroyed after each transfer.

　In other words, as long as the cursed seal remains, he can expose the person behind the scenes at any time!

　The sensations transmitted from the "Space Sable's" mind caused his eyes to look slightly strange.

　Because it didn't bite a person.

　"Edgar, it's time to end this."

　Grandma Maggie, with her back hunched and leaning on her cane, walked unsteadily to the tower master of the "Star Tower" and spoke.

　Edgar Swift's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he said to the space sable on the back of his hand, "Go!"

　He actually wanted to play a little longer.

　But since Grandma Maggie had spoken, he couldn't delay any longer.

　Upon receiving the command, a wisp of black light flashed in the two shiny black eyes of the "space mink," and then it suddenly disappeared.

　When it reappeared, it was already more than 100 meters away.

　It seemed to be holding something in its mouth, but nothing could be seen. Unable to stand upright in mid-air, its entire body was suspended by its mouth, making it particularly eerie.

　"Starfall".

　Edgar Swift drew a magic card and raised it slightly.

　Suddenly, starlight began to fall continuously from the top of the "space mink's" head, piercing the chessboard.

　The trailing flames behind the starlight solidified and took shape, transforming into a "star cage." Something being held by the "space sable" was then enveloped by the "star cage"—at that very moment, a flash of white light appeared, and the "space sable" vanished, reappearing more than ten squares away.

　"Oh"

　Edgar Swift let out a soft exclamation.

　Theoretically, once bitten by a "space mink", one cannot use spatial teleportation skills.

　But he quickly realized he had overlooked the "chessboard." Each square of this "chessboard" contained a teleportation module. Even if the mastermind was bitten by the "space mink" and unable to move, he could still use the chessboard to teleport.

　Moreover, if he so desires, everyone on the chessboard can be moved to different parts of the board.

　To break this strategy, the only way is to turn the tables and create a larger spatial barrier that covers the entire chessboard.

　Or, in the blink of an eye, the chessboard could be smashed.

　Edgar Swift's attack indeed provoked a counterattack from the latter.

　As soon as the "Space Sable" bit down hard, circles of intense white light instantly spread across the entire chessboard.

　Then, black pieces slowly emerged from each square on the chessboard.

　These chess pieces, along with the four pieces initially used for positioning...

　The pieces are not the same; their shapes are more similar to those of chess pieces, and each piece is shaped like a human figure.

　Once the chess pieces had fully emerged, they came to life, instantly alerting the people on the side.

　However, mere warning signs were no longer enough.

　The barrier used to separate "Where is Noah?" was useless against that white light.

　The black chess pieces that emerged from the crowd, like humanoid golems, launched an indiscriminate attack on the prophets.

　Just as the prophets, all crammed into one grid, were about to retaliate, circles of light began to illuminate the ground once more.

　One by one, the prophets who seemed to have some power were teleported to the corner of the chessboard, where they were greeted by high-level chess pieces that were ready to pounce!

　As the rebels were sent away in droves, the remaining prophets were practically lambs to the slaughter.

　Turning around, the tower master of the "Star Tower" and Granny Maggie were also teleported away!

　The chessboard isn't particularly large or small, and with the barrier cutting off pieces and the chasing of pieces, it's difficult to get support in a short time.

　Just as Dark was about to speak, he noticed that Professor Mitia had suddenly vanished. All that remained in that square were a few defenseless prophets and four students, including Dark.

　Yes, they look very weak.

　"Snapped!"

　As the golem formed from the black chess piece was shattered by the magic elf's slap, the prophets breathed a huge sigh of relief.

　Dark opened his eyes and saw Usopp Croni hidden among them. He shook his head slightly and saw the area under the squares light up again, as another black piece had been summoned.

　These black chess pieces, which transform into golems, are of average strength, but they seem to be constantly being generated.

　If an ordinary person encountered this, it would be quite troublesome. As for now...

　What difference could there be between one ant and two ants? The magical sprite casually smashed the second chess piece.

　But this time, what emerged from the chessboard was no longer a chess piece, but a doll.

　The doll was about half a meter tall, and it was unclear what material it was made of. Its skin was soft and elastic, and it looked very realistic. It was wearing a pleated tutu and a sun hat on its head, which covered its long black hair.

　Darkl frowned and saw it hug the leg of the only little girl in the room.

　Immediately afterwards, Edgar Swift's "Space Mink" teleported over in the white light and pounced fiercely on the poor doll.

　Eudora swiftly grabbed the "Space Sable" by the scruff of its neck, instantly halting its movements.

Chapter 1145 The Goddess of Fate's Mass Text Message (4k)

　Edgar Swift's "Space Sable" is a prime example of his magical spirits that possesses exceptional sentience. As a result, it is frequently released to roam within the "Star Tower."

　Especially in the last two years, as Dark's magical spirits have become increasingly famous in the magic community, his behavior has become more and more frequent.

　Unfortunately, no matter how much he raised the magical spirits as pets, he could only create a "bond" at most, making the magical spirits slightly more intelligent, rather than enabling them to develop intelligence like Dark's magical spirits and rival human wisdom.

　However, Eudora also became familiar with the "Space Sable" as a result, and easily captured it.

　The "Space Mink" was worried about hurting her, so it didn't even struggle violently. It just bared its teeth at the doll that was hugging Eudora's leg.

　A girl with a pink bob haircut and a cute three-headed doll are indeed a perfect match at first glance.

　It's easy to imagine why the doll would choose Eudora out of so many prophets.

　However, although Eudora appears fragile, like a delicate crystal that could break at the slightest touch, her actual experiences make it impossible for her to be as naive as an ordinary girl.

　Her grabbing the "space mink" was merely a subconscious act.

　The next second, the magic card in his free left hand was suddenly activated.

　The tiny six-pointed star magic circle activated almost instantly beneath the doll's feet.

　Then, the rotating six-pointed star appeared layer by layer from bottom to top, instantly forming a six-pointed star cage that imprisoned the doll inside.

　Then Eudora moved her feet and retreated in a flash, instantly creating distance between herself and the doll.

　Through the intense radiance of the superimposed six-pointed stars, one can vaguely see the doll's blank expression.

　However, the people around them reacted very quickly.

　Fate Steinbeck raised his hand, and a sea of ​​starlight spread out from beneath his feet, tracing the space between the doll and the chessboard on the ground.

　The magic card in Gina Grant's hand emitted an eerie glow, and the doll imprisoned in the six-pointed star cage was hung upside down, whimpering and struggling.

　In just a few seconds, it was like a rabbit that had walked right into a trap, deliberately running into a tree stump, where it was tied up by the hunter and placed on a barbecue grill.

　The eyes of the nearby prophets were instantly drawn to this spot.

　The "Sage of the Stars" arrived on starlight, and the chess piece golems touched by the starlight fragments along the way seemed to be covered with a layer of shimmering silver dust, frozen to the ground and motionless.

　In such a short time, the mages among the prophets have already found a way to deal with the pieces.

　Although they are constantly generated from the chessboard, only one piece can be placed on each square of the board.

　In other words, as long as that piece is controlled, no new pieces will be created.

　Although these pieces vary in strength, even the strongest is only at the six-star level.
