1857 Multiple Seals
As for which demonic seed it was, he could not be sure for the time being.
He was very familiar with the strength of Jealousy and he was sure that it wasn’t her. It was also not the Wrath that he had perceived before.
The power fluctuations were also different from the demonic seed in his body.
So it would be…
Something’s not right!
Fang Heng thought about it and felt that it was strange.
If this place was related to the game world of the Seven Deadly Sins and was extremely dangerous, why had no one been affected by the Seven Deadly Sins’ pollution when the Federation discovered this place more than ten years ago?
One had to know that the Seven Deadly Sins’ pollution had a strong propagation ability and was extremely dangerous to spread in the real world. A casual post on social media could cause thousands of people to be contaminated.
The Federation had no reason to leave this place alone.
Fang Heng realized something and his expression changed. He turned his head to look at Aktu, who had been pushed back by the black fog.
Aktu had also been affected by the spreading black fog earlier. However, he looked fine on the surface and did not suffer any actual damage.
He asked as he quickly caught up, “Fang Heng, are you alright?”
“Aktu, have you not been here for a long time?”
Aktu didn’t know why Fang Heng’s expression suddenly became so serious. He thought about it carefully and nodded, “Yes, two years ago, when my Big Brother and I first came here, we came to the holy land once. After that, my Big Brother set a rule that no one is allowed to enter the holy land, including me.”
Oh no!
Fang Heng’s heart sank, and he looked at the alchemy magic array’s patterns carved on the surrounding walls.
The magic array patterns flickered with a faint light under the black fog.
The ritual runes in the entire passage were operating continuously.
So that was how it was!
The black fog that had just gushed out of the game rift was gradually purified by the ritual magic arrays in the passage until it was purified into a black fog that could not pollute the place. Finally, it flowed out of the holy land.
Fang Heng finally understood everything.
When Meng Ruhui first entered the cave in the holy land, the black fog that seeped out of the game rift did not have the power to contaminate anything.
Meng Ruhui’s strict defense of the Holy Court was not only to hide the secret of the demonic seed but also to prevent the demonic pollution from spreading!
Aktu had not been polluted by the demonic seed previously, which was why Meng Ruhui had not allowed Aktu to enter the holy land.
Unfortunately, after experiencing the impact of the black fog just now…
Fang Heng looked at Aktu and asked, “Aktu, feel your sea of consciousness. Can you feel something inside?”
“Huh?”
Aktu was stunned.
He was indeed affected by the black fog just now. He felt as if something was trying to invade his body.
However, Aktu’s perception attribute was not strong. It dawned on him that this strange feeling only lasted for a moment before disappearing, so he did not take it to heart.
Hearing Fang Heng’s reminder, Aktu’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly sat down on the spot and focused on checking his sea of consciousness.
His consciousness quickly entered his sea of consciousness.
Aktu’s expression changed slightly.
Just as Fang Heng had said, he soon realized that there was a grey mist in his sea of consciousness.
A thin layer of fog lingered in his sea of consciousness.
Aktu immediately opened his eyes and looked at Fang Heng. He said, “I felt the fog in my sea of consciousness. What was that?”
“It’s a demonic seed.”
“Demonic seed? What is the demonic seed?”
Aktu had never heard of the demonic seed. He looked at Fang Heng with a puzzled expression, waiting for an explanation.
“I’m sorry, Aktu. I’m afraid that your Big Brother and Second Brother didn’t allow you to enter the holy land for another reason. Forcing you to come here was my fault.”
Fang Heng shook his head and sighed guiltily. He quickly explained the situation regarding the demonic seed.
Aktu fell silent for a moment after hearing that.
No wonder he felt that his brothers were hiding something from him ever since he returned from his mission two years ago.
It was no wonder that his control over the black mist was far inferior to his Big Brother and Second Brother.
However, he had always trusted his Big Brother and Second Brother and had never taken them to heart.
At this point, all the doubts from before had been answered.
“It’s fine, Brother Fang Heng. This is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you.”
Aktu wasn’t afraid of the demonic seed. He was more concerned about his Big Brother and Second Brother’s current situation.
“What about now? Fang Heng, what should we do now? You’ve already seen the game rift and know that the black mist is related to the demonic seed. Do you have a way to save Big Brother?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded and looked at the game rift again. The magic array in his right pupil spun rapidly.
“If I had come here earlier, I could’ve modified the magic arrays on the rock walls to increase the conversion efficiency of some of the magic arrays and increase the efficiency of the black fog’s overflow. However, this modification is extremely dangerous and will take at least ten hours. It’s definitely too late now.”
“Then, then what should we do?”
“Time is too tight. I can only think of one way.”
Aktu asked anxiously, “What is it?”
Fang Heng was still staring at the game rift. Blood kept seeping out of his right eye.
“There are more than ten alchemy magic arrays outside the game rift. Based on my judgment, the deepest ones are the sealing magic arrays. The traces are very deep. They should have been left behind by the Federation and the Holy Court to seal the game rift more than ten years ago. Among them, the seal of the holy system is the strongest.”
“There were several new seals after that. Someone must have added them later. The person who added the seals shouldn’t be your brother. He was very powerful and directly opened a very small rift in the holy seal. It was equivalent to opening a small passage. However, the rift was quickly sealed again. Nothing seems to have changed.”
“The last few layers of seals should have been left behind by your brother. He started from the small rifts that he had broken earlier, allowing the black mist to seep out intermittently in a controlled manner. It was released after being cleansed…”
Aktu listened to Fang Heng beating around the bush and abruptly felt a headache. He could not be bothered to fully understand and asked, “Brother Fang Heng, just tell me what to do! What can I do to save my brothers? If you want, I’ll do it immediately!”
“If we can destroy all the seals… At that time, a large amount of black mist will seep out, and the efficiency of the external purification ritual will not be able to keep up.”
Aktu’s pupils contracted and his heart started beating faster.
“At that time, the black mist with the pollution effect will dissipate.”
“Fang Heng, are you saying that we will perish together? If the Federation wants our lives, we’ll poison them, right?”
“No, no.”
Fang Heng shook his head and said, “The seal is very strong. Considering our current abilities, we won’t be able to break the seal in a short time. Moreover, the pollution effect is very strong. Once it is leaked, the members of the Mundt Gang will be the first victims of the contamination. Worse still, many innocent people will also be affected by the contamination.”
