Chapter 796: Walking Out of the Ruins

"Their movements are too perfect."

Zhou Huai silently observed a vendor making pancakes by the street. Every time the vendor flipped the pancake, the angle at which his arm was raised, the curve of his tensed muscles, and even the fluctuation of his facial muscles when smiling at customers were utterly flawless.

Not only him, but everyone in the entire Black Water City was like this.

The young men and women singing and dancing did not have the slightest deviation in their steps; the devout believers kowtowing had frequencies of prostration and pauses in their chanting that were just like a precisely running clock.

"They don't seem like living people."

Zhou Huai let out a cold snort in his heart: "Instead, they are a bunch of programmed Puppet, or controlled marionettes."

"You react quite fast."

Chun swallowed the dried fruit, patted the crumbs off her hands, and said in a mocking tone: "This is no ordinary blindfold. This is a variant application of Anubis's Underworld Domain under the rules of the present world. In this city, everyone's Mental Energy is being assimilated and read by his Main God Divine Power at all times. They really are smiling, dancing, and even thinking they are living very happily, but in the underlying logic judgment of the Heavenly Dao System, their autonomous consciousness was wiped clean long ago."

"This is a cemetery of living people."

Zhou Huai's expression condensed slightly.

To completely erase the spiritual will of an entire city and hundreds of thousands of Professionals, and disguise it as a bustling market appearance, what kind of massive Mental Energy Law control power was required?

At least, with the Mental Energy he currently had after Fusion of Moria and Victor, he couldn't achieve such large-scale, refined control.

"Two distinguished guests, the pyramid has arrived."

The Black general in front stopped in front of a towering black memorial archway, bowed, and retreated to the side.

Zhou Huai raised his head.

Before his eyes was an open black stone plaza. Right in the center of the plaza, a black pyramid level with the firmament stood quietly. The dark golden patterns on the surface of the tower shimmered with a faint light under the scorching sun, slithering across the black rock like little golden snakes.

And beneath the long stairs leading to the top of the pyramid stood a young man wearing gorgeous court attire.

Seeing that person's face clearly, Zhou Huai's gaze paused.

"Kalen?"

He softly called out this name.

The prince of the Ancient Egypt Kingdom, Kalen.

Back in Sakura Country, this guy was a carefree and even somewhat erratic unorthodox Professional.

But now, Kalen standing under the stone steps had completely changed into a different person.

He wore a white court robe embroidered with intricate eagle god patterns using gold threads, his curly hair was neatly groomed, and his face no longer had that cynical smile from the past, leaving only rigid elegance and nobility.

He stood quietly there, his spine straight, his hands crossed in front of his abdomen, and his whole person exuding an indifferent aura.

When Zhou Huai and Chun approached, Kalen walked in front of the two with graceful steps.

He bowed slightly, stretched out a hand, and made a standard Ancient Egypt court gesture of invitation.

"Distinguished guests, Lord Ancient God has been waiting in the temple for a long time. The two of you, please follow me."

The voice was crisp, standard in pronunciation, and without any flaws.

But precisely because it was too perfect, it was instead cold without any temperature, just like a vocalization machine.

Zhou Huai thought to himself that if this wasn't someone else, then this guy's brain must have been formatted.

However, on the surface, he did not show the slightest abnormality, nor did he speak out to recognize him, just pretending to meet for the first time, and nodded calmly: "Sorry to trouble you for leading the way."

Kalen had no extra words, turned around, and took the lead in stepping onto the black stone steps leading to the top of the pyramid.

The stone steps were towering, each step half a meter high, leading straight into the clouds.

Zhou Huai and Chun followed behind, walking up step by step.

"Did you discover a problem?"

Chun, walking beside him, suddenly moved her lips, and her voice sounded directly in Zhou Huai's mind.

Zhou Huai asked knowing the answer, replying with a Mental Energy fluctuation: "What problem? Are you saying this little prince's clothes look better than before?"

"Don't play dumb with me."

Chun rolled her eyes and telepathically transmitted: "When you looked at him just now, your heartbeat speed clearly accelerated by three-thousandths of a second. You know him, right?"

Zhou Huai was silent and did not deny it.

"Even if you know him, it's useless, he's already dead."

Chun's voice was calm and cruel: "Or rather, his Soul had long been drained dry by Anubis's Mental Energy Law, turning him into this walking corpse. However, this is not the point. The point is… carefully feel the residual power Law inside his body."

Hearing this, Zhou Huai concentrated his gaze, the [Void Omniscience] Law of Space inside his body quietly circulating, transforming into an invisible data stream that swept across Kalen, who was leading the way ahead.

The information fed back made Zhou Huai frown.

"This power… is very mixed."

Zhou Huai telepathically transmitted: "In addition to the native Law of Ancient Egypt, there is also an extremely fresh residual space energy belonging to the border between the present world's Great Xia and the Free Federation. Moreover, the activity of this residual energy is very high, and the time is no more than three days."

"Hmph, you're not blind."

Chun let out a cold snort, her tone becoming unprecedentedly serious: "This means that three days ago, this little guy, or rather Anubis himself who controls this shell… had left this ruins."

"Left the ruins?!"

Zhou Huai's feet almost paused.

How is this possible?!

You must know that ever since the global ruins mutation and chaos broke out, the underlying rule restrictions lowered by the Heavenly Dao System had become incomparably strict.

Even someone as strong as the Old Human Emperor of the old era, who reshaped his Physical Body in the depths of the Abyss of Mist, wanting to forcibly rush out of the abyss and rule over the present world, would incur the crazy bombardment of the World-Destroying Purple Thunder when stepping out of the ruins, ultimately ending up with both body and Soul annihilated.

And that Extreme Ice Empress of Sakura Country, simply because the aftermath of the battle leaked into Tokyo City in the present world, attracted the lock-on of the ruthless eye of Heavenly Dao, her strength plummeted like a cliff, and in the end, she was hacked by the heavenly thunder until her skin burst, becoming an abandoned piece.

In Zhou Huai's cognition, no matter how strong these monsters awakened from the old-era ruins were, they couldn't escape the sanction of the Heavenly Dao rules. Once they crossed the boundary line between the ruins and the present world, what awaited them was physical erasure by the System.

But now…

Anubis, the Dominator of this Ancient Egyptian Ruins, was actually able to quietly walk out of the ruins.

"How is this possible…"

Zhou Huai's expression was solemn, deducing possibilities in his heart: "The underlying scanning of the Heavenly Dao System is without dead angles. As long as there is an energy body exceeding the numerical upper limit of the present world crossing realms, it will automatically trigger the thunder punishment judgment. Could it be… Anubis has mastered some skill that can blind the Heavenly Dao?"
