Chapter 1706: Chapter 518 [Joker’s Magic Gloves]_3

The Sun Disc shone brilliantly in the sky, with the Sun God Bird ceaselessly circling around the halo, gradually forming a Twisted Light Gate in the distorted space.

Before their eyes, the gate to the Netherworld Channel was about to open, with vistas of the Death Domain resembling mirages already visible.

However, just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

In the sky, behind the sun, a pair of large hands wearing white gloves appeared without any warning.

Yes!

A pair of white gloves!

It was as if a ghost was controlling these gloves to cast spells, with fingers moving as nimble as if playing a piano.

With a slight movement of the fingers, a Nine-point Star Array also lit up on the back of the gloves.

Others could not discern the origin of these gloves, but enlightenment appeared in Leonard Churchill’s eyes.

[Joker’s Magic Gloves]

Detailed description: A Divinity-contaminated ancient relic; exclusive professional Divine Artifact of the JOKER sequence, Lanlingster’s magic gloves; it possesses ‘control,’ ‘steal,’ ‘Divine Hand,’ ‘switch heaven and earth,’ and other Super God tier skill entries.

“Another Emperor’s Relic?”

Leonard Churchill wondered why it felt familiar; it was very similar to the style of the Curse sealed in his [Black Demon] gloves.

Seeing this Emperor’s Relic appear, he suddenly realized that his speculation might indeed become true.

…

In the sky, those large hands cast some unknown spell, causing the surrounding laws to solidify.

It was as if someone in the depths of destiny lightly chanted: “Curse Art: Divine Hand.”

Upon looking again, the previously arrogant Dead Dragon Marlodis’s expression drastically changed!

It stared at the gloves in the sky, its ghostly eyes seemingly exclaimed: “How is this possible… you… how can you use this thing!”

It wasn’t surprising that the gloves ended up in Dragon God Airel’s hands, given that this despicable figure was the biggest beneficiary of the ancient war.

But what Marlodis did not expect was that someone could actually use that JOKER exclusive relic?

It’s not that the gloves were strong, but rather, the magically changing ability of those gloves had cost Marlodis dearly thousands of years ago.

Now seeing these gloves, the Dead Dragon had a very bad premonition.

This was not an offensive technique.

However, precisely because of this, it was even more dreaded.

The strength of [Divine Hand] was not in the technique, but in its unpredictable transformations.

Like magic tricks, before knowing the outcome, no one knows what it could transform into.

It’s this unknown that causes unease.

In the instant the spell formed, among the Holy Tribunal’s people who were fleeing nearby, a previously inconspicuous armored knight suddenly burst into divine glory, and a Three-headed Dragon illusion rose behind him.

What a coincidence.

The illusion was exactly projected from the just-opened Twisted Light Gate.

Leonard Churchill recognized the Dragon God illusion at a glance, just like the statue in the square of the Royal Academy’s library!

Dragon God Airel!

Marlodis was waiting for a chance to leave, while the outside Dragon God Airel was also waiting for him to open the channel and then project divine power.

“Could it be that he himself has come?”

Leonard Churchill looked and thought it was unlikely, but upon a closer look, the knight’s visor just opened up, revealing a familiar face, he was shocked: “Heavenly Dragon Saint, Chireesa?”

Although he couldn’t see the full face, just from the brows and eyes, Leonard Churchill was certain, wasn’t this the Heavenly Dragon Saint they had previously killed?

What’s going on?

Another Saint Heir has appeared?

If it weren’t for the Saint’s body still being inside Ivan, Leonard Churchill would even doubt that the guy had resurrected.

Suddenly, he realized that there might be more than one Heavenly Dragon Saint in the Holy Tribunal.

And furthermore, the Saint Heir came here, aimed precisely at the current situation!

When Leonard Churchill and others killed Chireesa before, they probably caused a big trouble for the people of the Holy Tribunal.

Thus, another Saint Heir appeared.

But all of this wasn’t important anymore.

What is important now is that the Saint Heir is holding a Spell Clay Pot in his hand!

“Isn’t this pot the one obtained from the Plague Marsh initially?”

Leonard Churchill closely examined the patterns on the pot and basically confirmed it was the same one he saw before.

Initially in the Plague Marsh, the Holy Tribunal sent people to find the pot, and because Sophia Jones had taken action earlier with the assistance of an Immortal Aegis White Dragon, those guys only got an empty pot.

This pot itself is the strongest Sealing Relic in the world, its greatest use being–to seal Gods!

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill already understood what these people were planning.

They probably knew beforehand that they couldn’t kill Malodis, so Plan B was to seal this Dragon God!

…

Although Leonard Churchill didn’t know exactly how those people planned it.

But he understood everything at this moment.

The elite of the Holy Tribunal act as bait, Reuel Bible’s sneak attack… If they can kill, then kill.

If not, break the defense and steal Divine Blood, then comes the sealing!

Leonard Churchill also had a strong intuition: “This is not a tactic that the Holy Tribunal could think of, but rather something from the Forbidden Ruins Stele!”

Using the pot to seal Gods, people from the Holy Tribunal probably did not know this method before.

Otherwise, they most likely wouldn’t risk conspiring and collaborating with the Crimson Sect.

Thus, the information could only be “leaked by Reuel Bible”!

And the source of Reuel Bible’s information was most likely the former assistant, Noah Wright!

This means, this was a contingency plan left by Emperor Lanlingster.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when He chose to exile instead of killing Malodis, He had thought about how to safely handle this guy’s return.

The Emperor recorded the method on the Forbidden Ruins Stele!

“What a brilliant maneuver…”

Understanding all this, Leonard Churchill felt a surge of emotions in his heart.

This linked the key role of the “Illumination Secret Society” in the recent major battle among the three Outer God Sects.

As always known, they act covertly without leaving a trace, yet subtly influence the course of history behind the scenes.

With this thought, Leonard Churchill glanced sideways at Elder Clinton next to him.

Seeing his calm expression, it was apparent that he was right.

Watching the unfolding event from afar, before Leonard Churchill could ask, Elder Clinton already explained the ins and outs of the plan: “With Divine Blood as a medium, the Divine Hand replaced the soul seal on the pot… That is to say, Malodis throughout his life cannot escape the restrictions of the soul seal of the God-Sealing Jar. Hence, even a formidable Outer God, with the pot’s restriction, poses limited threat…”

He hadn’t mentioned it before because any directed malice might be noticed, but now the plan was accomplished, they had no reservations.

Upon hearing this, not only Leonard Churchill, but Sophia Jones and Kong Que who were beside him also sensed the profoundness.

…

As Elder Clinton said, arrogance is a bad intrinsic trait of the Dragon Clan.

Just now, if this Dragon God hadn’t cared about the face of God Tier status and had gone about finishing off the Holy Tribunal people one by one, perhaps there wouldn’t be these troubles.

But the fact is, He paid the price for his arrogance.

Thinking that invincible combat power could overlook everything, He hadn’t anticipated being outsmarted by an adversary from tens of thousands of years ago.

“Damn! Damn! Damn!”

Dead Dragon Marlodis had already understood what happened, that increasingly clear soul bond between the God-Sealing Jars left Him with no means to resist.

It’s like an invisible rope was put around His neck, the other end tied to that pot.

This type of soul contract is similar to a Witch Demon’s Life Box, and it became his fatal weakness.

Not only did it add a vulnerability, but anyone who possessed the pot could suppress His Divine Power, even seal Him.

This is the result tested by the “Heavenly Calamity Seven Gods” over countless years; no method could break free from the bondage of the God-Sealing Jar.

“Roar~”

An angry dragon’s roar echoed throughout the space.

The presence of the God-Sealing Jar disrupted all plans; even though that Dead Dragon’s combat power was unsurpassed, He dared not stay any longer.

He directly rushed towards the newly opened Netherworld Channel’s gate and charged out.
