Chapter 702: An Unavoidable Confrontation

In the boundless night sky, the stars were shining dazzlingly. However, their orbits were totally contradictory to the arcana theories. As if some unknown power was pulling them away and thus they had been placed in sheer chaos. Some stars would suddenly deviate and then desperately ran into another. Explosions with enormous power would happen, and the energy storms that were caused would be able to kill anything under legendary level.

Therefore, Chaotic Cosmos was deserted and lonely. No demon could survive here. This was the very reason why this place could produce the Time Plate but not a single demon lord. The Will of Abyss was an exception, as it was born as the ultimate will. The rest of the demons had to kill and devour each other from the bottom to finally ascend to the higher levels.

As soon as they stepped into Chaotic Cosmos, another dark universe appeared behind Lucien’s back. It was the same boundless and mysterious universe, but the only difference was that the stars in Lucien’s universe were colorful and they represented different elements. That was Lucien’s legendary demiplane – Atomic Universe!

The Atomic Universe quickly spread out and overlapped with Chaotic Cosmos. And then every single element planet started shaking as if they were those microscopic particles.

The shaking made the entire atomic universe thrilled, which also rippled Chaotic Cosmos. This was a normal phenomenon when two demiplanes overlapped.

Lucien was the center of the ripples, and the ripples spread out very fast all the way to the farthest end of the starry sky.

Natasha watched Lucien doing all these things and she looked at this chaotic starry sky with great interest. She knew that the small planets did not have their own light but were just reflecting light, as they were not fixed stars, just like those stars in Lucien’s Atomic Universe.

She had learned basic astrology under the guidance of Lucien, and her use of words was from the terms used on the earth. She often practiced in the Atomic Universe, and thus her analysis was basically correct.

The abyss was similar to a demiplane, and therefore the starry sky here was not a “real” one. By contrast, a starry sky in an alternate dimension was different, which better resembled the night sky of the main material world. Stars in the sky in an alternate dimension also followed the basic laws in cosmology.

Lucien got the feedback he wanted from the fierce shaking. He opened his eyes, where there was still shining starlight, and looked to his left, “Time Plate is over there. The coordinate is…”

The core of this place shook in a different scope, and this was how Lucien figured out the coordinates of the plate. It was risky to do so because his demiplane could possibly be contaminated by the air of the abyss. Although Lucien could always clean it up, it was still a problem.

“Wow… It was less than five seconds…” Natasha was very impressed, her purple eyes shining in admiration. In front of Lucien, she never hid her feelings.

Besides the Will of Abyss and the prince of demons, only a legendary sorcerer could do so. Other legendaries would take much longer.

Lucien’s demiplane slightly disappeared to avoid the contamination from the abyss. Before that, Lucien grabbed Natasha’s arm and did a space jump using the demiplane as a transfer station.

Chaotic Cosmos was only one of the levels in the abyss. It only took them a couple of seconds to come to this creepy space.

It looked similar to Chaotic Cosmos, but with closer observation Lucien had noticed the hiding black swirls in the space. The entire place was like a dangerous ocean filled with unpredictable fatal whirlpools.

Lucien was not afraid of any oceans, but this place was different.

The swirls were naturally from the power of the plate, which had changed the time and space in this place, preventing Natasha and Lucien from reaching the plate easily.

However, this had also confirmed that Lucien was correct. Time Plate was right here!

“Careful.” Lucien reminded.

He started casting defense spells on both of them and then summoned his Space Staff.

Natasha also lifted the Shield of Truth in her left hand. Although their movement would lower the defense of the shield, its power was still enough for them to pass through this space.

With great caution, they walked into the space. Guided by Mirror of Fate, Lucien led Natasha and they marched forward at fast speed.

Although this space looked boundless, it was just an illusion. After all, the plate was just a piece of material of legendary level, and the power emitted from it could only be of level-two legendary.

Therefore, within ten seconds, Lucien and Natasha had found their target. It looked like a strange small planet made of diamond. The small planet looked very pure and beautiful as it was covered in the dazzling gloss.

The dazzling gloss came from a black plate within its core. The plate had shining light on its surface like ripples. Lucien could see the many mysterious patterns on its surface, which resembled that of Moon Timer. The power it had made him feel in awe of the elapse of time.

This was Time Plate, the legendary material! Lucien came all the way here just for this!

However, there was a man in his early thirties standing beside the plate. He was tall and had light blond short hair. The features of his face resembled men in the Schachran Empire. Although he looked quite unruly and careless, somehow looking at him would make one feel rather peaceful and calm.

However, his chin slightly stuck out, which gave him a more serious and resolute look.

Clement! Lucien and Natasha recognized him at the same time.

He was the saint from the North Church. His look and the air of his power had all been recorded in the intelligence report of the congress and kingdom!

But neither of them could figure out why Clement was also here.

Meanwhile, when seeing Lucien and Natasha, Clement, the level-three saint cardinal, was even more shocked. In fact, his feeling of nervousness was much stronger.

Earlier he had known that Lucien had not yet obtained the plate, and Clement believed that he was a step ahead. Thus he thought that things would get much easier. With the help of the prince of demons, Clement thought that he could take away the plate before Lucien got here. After all, passing through the Seething Ocean and fighting with the firelord would cost Lucien Evans lots of time.

He even thought that Lucien was still preparing himself in Allyn!

However, things turned out to be that they were now standing face to face. Clement never prepared to have a do-or-die fight against Lucien. So he had a moment of panic.

He was hesitant. The plate was just by his side, but Lucien and Natasha had come within the range of attack. He wondered if he should grab the plate first or cast on himself several layers of defense power.

But soon he had made his decision. It took him so much planning and preparation to come all the way here, and for sure he would not give the plate up at this moment!

Unfortunately, Lucien never planned on giving him the chance to decide!

Clement heard the clear ticking sound.

There was a fine silver pocket watch in Lucien’s right hand. The gem constellations on the surface were symbols of time.

Like the monocle Lucien was wearing, the pocket watch had the same pure light in reflection. Then Lucien pressed the button.

Click.

All the colors that Clement could see had all gone, only grey, white and black were left.

Then Lucien started enchanting, singing the strange spell,

“Luxury Cracking!”

“Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness!”

Luxury Cracking was a very difficult legendary spell, and Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness was a top legendary ice and snow spell, so the casting time required was quite long. Within the given time, Lucien also added Hand of Uncertainties and Magic Delay.

Then the colors resumed.

Lucien was certain that such a combination could for sure kill a level-three legendary, as long as he or she was not immune to the spells!

The shocked look was still on Clement’s face, and light burst out from within his body. The extreme cold, crystal clear pillar of light waited a little bit for Luxury Cracking to come into force first!

That was the end!

That was just too many unbelievable spells that Lucien Evans knew!

When Clement was in total desperation, holy light covered him and pulled it to the left by a few hundred meters, which made him barely miss the spell of Snow Goddess’s Forgiveness.

With his own eyes, he saw the power of the spell turned a small planet into ice dust within half a second!

At this time, the wonderful sound of singing arrived. Small light spots danced like little angels in the air, and amid them, a blond haired figure emerged.

The eighteen pairs of holy wings gradually extended out, and the divine air he had had driven away the filthy air of the abyss.

“The Angel King!”

“Mecantron…!”

Natasha and Lucien blurted out.
