The boundless fog was spreading towards Inazuma Castle, and the sky was gray, as if it had covered the entire world... This terrifying and strange phenomenon was even scarier than what they had encountered in the environment before.

At that moment, Ningzhe didn't even know if he had really returned to the real world...

However, this confusion only lasted for a moment, because the next moment, Ningzhe saw several old acquaintances rushing here.

Um...

Coral Palace Shinkai, Goro...the soldiers of the resistance army are all coming here, and there are also a few ninjas disguised as ordinary soldiers among them. Ayato and Toma are not in the team.

This is normal. After all, the Kamisato family is one of the three branches of the shogunate. No matter what, they cannot participate in such things in front of the public. Even if they go to the scene in person, they are only observing from the outside.

Correspondingly, those ninjas should be the [Final Episode] members specially sent by Ayato to assist them.

"Wanyu! Ningzhe!"

After getting closer and seeing them, Wulang waved excitedly, but then he saw the mist farther away that was enough to cover the world...

Almost instantly, Goro's tail stood up. Even if he just glanced at the mist, warning signals were sent out all over his body.

"Goro?"

Seeing Wulang's sudden defensive posture, Xinhai looked in his direction with some confusion. At the same time, he also saw the fog on the other side, and subconsciously frowned.

This kind of power...

Why does it give her a feeling that is both familiar and strange...

"Xinhai, Wulang, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the two of them acting like this, Ningzhe quietly opened his right hand, and a weak force spread out from it, blessing them.

"It's not hard... we just did what we had to do."

After the blessing of this power, Wulang's mood was obviously calmed down, and Xinhai's brows relaxed a little, but soon Xinhai shook his head and said helplessly: "It's just that I didn't expect that you let us The purpose of evacuating the people with the general's handprint in advance is to deal with this kind of thing..."

"Actually, I didn't expect that..."

Hearing this, Ningzhe glanced at the fog in the distance with a somewhat helpless expression.

Although after being reminded by the old man, he guessed that the Fools would leave a back-up plan that could cover the entire Inazuma City, he did not expect that this back-up plan was actually related to the abyss...

If Clemons hasn't left yet, maybe he himself will be confused about this...

Given the nature of the Abyss Order, their plans have always been hidden in the dark, and such large-scale efforts are rarely seen... And the most important thing is that their actions follow the end of the Fools' Plan, as if both sides It has been agreed long ago.

But... is it really possible for them to work together?

Card——Card——

Just as Ningzhe's thoughts were running wildly, a sound similar to the rattling of gears came from the distance...

It simply sounds... as if the fog covering the sky in the distance is not fog, but some kind of well-operated machinery...

"What on earth is this...those strange sounds that seem to go straight into the heart?"

Feeling the influence of this sound, Albedo raised his left hand, and then looked at Ningzhe with some doubts. He thought of something very similar to it...

"Yes, it is true...and just like the thing in the snow mountain, once I wrap myself with mental power, this power cannot affect me."

The moment Abedo cast his gaze at him, Ningzhe realized that this thing was similar to the crystals he and Abedo found in the snowy mountains...

"But it's different."

But Abedo shook his head, looked into the fog, and gradually became calmer.

"Its influence is not as strong as the crystals deep in the snow-capped mountains. Rather than a very directional force, it is more like it is unconsciously mapping something...or, in other words, looking for something."

Looking for something?

Upon hearing Abedo's words, everyone present except Ningzhe showed some doubtful expressions, as if they did not quite understand the meaning of these words.

What does it mean to be looking for something? Could it be that this fog has an independent consciousness and is spreading outward to find something?

Thinking of this, Xinhai also frowned.

If this is the case, then such a behemoth is really too terrifying. If they only rely on a few of them, it may be difficult to stop it... And if you want to let the gods intervene, then the nature of the matter will change again.

Although the fog has not yet spread to the center of Inazuma Castle, judging from the location, the outskirts of Inazuma City should have completely fallen... The residents of that area have not yet had time to evacuate.

Those people...

"Don't worry..." Ningzhe saw that the expressions of the resistance soldiers became a little anxious, then he shook his head and said softly: "Since we have confirmed that this thing currently uses mental power to affect the surrounding creatures, then

I have a way to counter it."

After saying that, Ningzhe gently raised his hand, and then a golden energy shield appeared, protecting everyone within it. Almost instantly, the emotions of the resistance soldiers were calmed down.

"..."

After noticing the changes in the expressions of the resistance soldiers, Ningzhe quietly injected some power into their bodies, and then looked at the mist that was getting closer and closer to them.

"I can prevent its impact on us, but on this basis, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

After completely eliminating the power remaining in the bodies of those resistance soldiers, Ningzhe finally discovered that the matter was not as simple as he thought...or rather, it was more serious than he imagined.

"It is enough to be able to prevent the impact..."

After hearing Ningzhe's words, Abedo nodded slightly, then raised his hand, and then a white sphere appeared in his hand.

"Everyone, please give me a helping hand."

The next second, the white sphere bloomed with even more dazzling light until it resounded across the sky, faintly confronting the gray fog that was spreading towards this side.

Hearing this, Manyo, Goro, and Xinhai walked up without hesitation and injected power into the white sphere suspended in the air.

Wind element, rock element, water element... three different forces mixed together, bursting out with stronger power, and then all poured into the sphere, and the white light seemed to be dyed with other colors.

..

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment this power exploded, the spread of the fog in the distance seemed to slow down a bit.

"..."

Maintaining such power, Albedo's expression did not change at all, but the hand holding the alchemy instrument was trembling slightly... It seemed that even with his strength, maintaining the magic circle was not easy.

However, at this moment, another strange sound came from the distance...

hiss----

It's like there's a poisonous snake spitting out a message in the dark...

Immediately afterwards, several twisted figures with very stiff steps appeared from the fog, walking slowly towards the city - where Ningzhe and others were.

them...
