Chapter 1500: Chapter 1498: The Upcoming War in the Heavens
Just this courage?
Richard was somewhat surprised. After all, according to his estimation, these were likely top-tier Immortal Strange Species, the kind regarded as enemies of all humanity by Ancient Wizards in ancient times.
Logically speaking, since most of the seals had been unlocked, they should have the ability to forcibly break out and fight him.
Yet he didn’t even use any ability on them, and they just quieted down like this.
Have they given up resisting?
"Are you sure you’re not coming out?" Richard whispered, "Then next, you might regret it."
The massive black shadows: "..." made no sound, as if they didn’t exist, and even if they did, they were just part of the background.
"Alright, then." Richard sighed gently and didn’t pay further attention, as his focus was still on Fen Feng, the manager of the Truth Society.
He needed to get the method to make contact with Heaven from the other, so he could successfully contact Heaven, meet that True God, and clarify some matters.
As for the Strange Species, they at most had some research value, which was relatively higher three or four years ago, but now whether in High Spirit research, the "Bottled Sun," or other fields, they far surpassed. After all, these represented the true direction of the future, while Strange Species lagged at least two levels, making it hard to ignite his interest in gathering resources to study them.
Then...
Richard flipped his hand and took out the Eden Space Handbag, tapped it open.
A figure emerged from inside, it was the Witch Demon Elder whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
The other looked somewhat gaunt, with much of his white hair fallen out, his entire head resembling a shriveled kiwi, clearly having lived a less than leisurely life for quite some time.
In fact, he did live leisurely for a long period, usually studying his magic puppet, competing with the Eight-Armed Skeleton Anan for bones, which could be called a pleasant retirement.
But once Richard asked him to assist in some soul and memory research, this retirement life completely changed, becoming busy and painful, shedding handfuls of hair to crack the knowledge of ancient magic.
Though Richard provided him several young wizards as assistants, it did not help because these wizards worked too hard, forcing him to give his all. After all, if his contributions were less than those of a "kid" in their forties, how would he retain the face to lead the research group? How could he claim to be a Witch Demon who has lived for hundreds of years? Would his age be for naught?
Fortunately, after nearly wearing himself out, he utilized his extensive knowledge and experience to eventually not lose to those "kids" in their forties, firmly sitting in the position of the research group leader, providing Richard with satisfactory results, which led Richard to resolve to capture Fen Feng.
At this moment, Fen Feng had lost the ability to resist. When Richard saw the Witch Demon Elder emerging, he didn’t hesitate to point and said, "Mr. Ah Fu, the research subject I mentioned is here; next, I’d like you to lead the team in extracting the memory I need. Unexpectedly, his memory should be exceedingly well protected, even possessing the so-called True God Power. However, drawing from earlier research outcomes, with a bit more time, it should be manageable."
The Witch Demon Elder Ah Fu nodded in acknowledgment, but after circling around Fen Feng, he didn’t rush to act. Looking towards Richard, he seriously confirmed, "That Richard kid... are you sure this guy truly can’t move, right? Don’t have him spring back to life when I just lift him into Eden; I don’t think I can beat him."
"He’s alive and even conscious, but indeed can’t move, so you can research with peace of mind," Richard said.
Upon hearing this, the Witch Demon Elder’s expression still wasn’t very assured, just about to ask further when suddenly seeing something, he couldn’t help but curse, "I... damn it, stop right there!"
Just seen when the Witch Demon Elder was hesitating, the Eight-Armed Skeleton Anan suddenly dashed out from Eden, fearlessly approaching, grabbed Fen Feng’s body, and dashed back towards Eden. Based on prior experience, it surely had its eyes on some bone on Fen Feng’s body.
Realizing afterward, the Witch Demon Elder was hopping mad and had no time to quiz Richard further, cursing as he chased into Eden.
"Stop, you dead skeleton, stop, you damn bone rack..."
Skeleton and Witch Demon, one by one entered Eden, disappearing within this half-plane, leaving only Richard behind.
But Richard wasn’t planning to stay long either; Fen Feng was settled, and he should be leaving as well.
Glancing around, he looked over the sleeping mass of abnormal creature army, and then at the still silent massive black shadow, Richard murmured, "Since there’s still no response, don’t blame me then."
"I’m not planning to keep this plane unchanged. It’s a latent threat that needs destruction, needs to be forced to detach from the outer space and drift in the endless void, so..."
With a wave of his hand, in front of Richard, numerous Black Sun Weapons seemed to spring into existence from the void swiftly, amounting to dozens.
With another wave from Richard, these Black Sun Weapons dispersed to various positions of the plane, ensuring they wouldn’t affect each other when detonated.
Having done all this, Richard snapped his fingers lightly, and before the sound traveled even a few meters, he had vanished.
...
Outside.
Richard appeared mid-air in front of two mountains, making several quick hand gestures towards the Storm Airship.
From the cabin, Bi Bi voiced somewhat puzzled, "Telling us to close the half-plane’s gap, that I understand, should be stuffing another bunch of Black Sun Weapons inside. But why do you want us to quickly move away?"
"Just do it first."
"Oh." Under Pandora’s gaze, Bi Bi shrunk her neck and obediently operated.
Soon, the brown Storm Airship shot out an orange light beam, closing the open black circular hole, and then quickly moved away along with the other Storm Airships.
Moments after the multitude of Storm Airships left, a massive "boom" burst between the two mountains, followed by a fiercely wild storm violently erupting, howling as it swept across a large expanse of surrounding mountains.
Many mountain tops triggered landslides, with debris flying, dust billowing, only calming down after quite some time.
Apparently, this half-plane was excessively vast, causing the chain reaction of detachment due to the Black Sun Weapon explosion to be much greater, which if the Storm Airships were nearby although not critical to damage or crash, they’d still be affected to some extent.
Considering this, Richard had the Storm Airships quickly move away; however, he didn’t leave, standing at the original spot overseeing the entire process of the half-plane’s detachment, avoiding any accidents.
In the end, no accidents occurred.
For instance, the most concerning scenario of a few top-tier Immortal Strange Species bursting out from the half-plane at the last moment did not happen.
So, it was truly resolved.
"Now, it should be considered serene under heaven..." Richard muttered, after losing the vast majority of their asylums and the final manager, in the short term, the Truth Society won’t have the ability to cause trouble again.
"Then..." Richard raised his head, gazing up at the dim sky, "Next, it should be unrest in the heavens..."
As the last word left his mouth, Richard’s body vanished into the air.
...
