Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1102: A Promise Of Hope, The Great Evacuation



"I'll accompany you back. We need someone to keep an eye on the Vylkr formation artefact," Orion said, his tone serious.

With his presence and the aid of the Morphic Puppet, he believed they could handle any danger as long as they didn't encounter a divine being.

"But before we leave, I need to address them so there are no issues during the evacuation," Orion added, gazing toward the Sleeping Fox Runaway City below.

"Okay, but be quick," Ilse replied, knowing she could hold on for seven more minutes. Orion nodded and soared toward the city's centre, activating his gift.

Instantly, Orion's entire figure transformed into his lightning form. Violent, rolling thunderclouds suddenly overtook the already darkened sky. Thick bluish streaks of lightning and thunder flashed across the heavens, announcing their arrival to the world below.

Soon, as though gathered by an unseen hand sweeping across the heavens, the thick streaks of bluish lightning and thunder all converged, streaking down toward Orion. They wrapped around his waist, arms, and legs like tendrils, guiding his descent into the mortal world as though he were a divine being.

Orion then cast the Divine Thunder Moon Armour technique, causing a cloak forged from lightning to envelop his body. This was the technique's initial form. Having mastered it and the Divine Thunder Tyrant Symbols, he could also create an impenetrable lightning armour, but he didn't need to. Simply speaking, using this form would achieve the desired effect.

Soon, the people below in the Sleeping Fox Runaway City raised their heads in awe at the spectacle above. Instinctively, those who had witnessed a similar sight previously and those who hadn't but had learned of it immediately recognized the figure.

It was none other than the Supreme Leader of Paradise!

Sensing countless gazes fixed upon him, Orion began, "People of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, today marks a turning point in your lives!! For years, this Runaway City has been your refuge, your sanctuary in a world that seeks to take everything away from you!! But today, this sanctuary has been overtaken by a divine being with ill intentions!! As such, I ask you to look beyond it!! The Sleeping Fox Runaway City is a part of you, so wherever you go, it will live on within you!!"

He paused, letting his words sink in before continuing, "I understand that change can be difficult, but we are not powerless!! Paradise will fight this battle for you, and I promise we will capture or eliminate the divine being who triggered this chaos!! Paradise does not take; Paradise protects!!! So hold your heads high as you prepare to depart from the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, knowing you have played an active role in this fight. And we will ensure that no one forgets it!!"

...

Below,

The inhabitants of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City felt their emotions surge as they listened to the Supreme Leader's words.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I knew it! Paradise wouldn't ask us to leave our homes without a reason. But who would have

thought our enemy would be a divine being?"

"It makes sense if it's a divine being. Haven't you heard about the strange Sleeping Fox Runaway City occurrences? The sudden collapse of several buildings, the phantom beast that suddenly appeared and the immense pressure that knocked out tens of thousands of people?"

"Hey! Someone help me find Mr Itloc! He sold me false information and promised to help me secure a good place in the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City because he does business there in exchange for marrying his eldest cousin as a second wife."

"Is she beautiful?"

"Beautiful? I agreed to marry her for survival!"

"What are you two talking about? Didn't you hear? Our Runaway City is under attack by a divine being, and we need to get out of here as quickly as possible because this place is about to become a battleground! If you're not preparing to leave immediately, be prepared for a grim fate, and don't blame Paradise for it."

"If I were strong enough, don't you think I would have chosen to stay and fight?"

The voices of the inhabitants of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City echoed into the air one by one, causing the atmosphere to tremble as everyone voiced their thoughts while preparing for evacuation.

Somewhere within the Royal Den,

Lakul looked at the sky, his eyes fixed on the lightning-forged being. A myriad of complicated emotions passed through his face as he held a woman and a little boy in his arms.

"You've done your best. If this is the end of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, then so be it. Since the Supreme Leader has promised to take care of us and seek vengeance for us, we should trust him and not doubt it," said a Sloth Demon woman with long flowing violet hair, dressed in light pink with golden embellishments, her wings folded behind her back.

Lakul sighed in reply, "I suppose you're right. Let's go and prepare so we can leave on time." He turned around and led his family into their home.

.....

After his speech, Orion lingered high above for a while, satisfied with his words, before deactivating his gift, dispelling the rolling clouds of lightning and thunder, and returning to Ilse and the others.

"You two will aid with evacuating the Sleeping Fox Runaway City to the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City," Orion said, focusing on Seth and Iris.

"Okay, Chief," Seth and Iris nodded in unison.

Orion turned to Ilse. "Let's go."

"That was an amazing speech. You seem to have the qualities of a good leader," Ilse replied, tearing a rift through space.

"Thank you for the compliment. I've had a lot of practice," Orion responded.

Ilse nodded, turned around, and led the way into the rift, with Orion following behind her. As they passed through the rift, the space quickly sealed up.

.....

Ilse dropped Orion before the Vylkr artefact magical formation and returned to her Golden Palace to rest.

Orion summoned the Morphic Puppet and instructed it to protect him. He could use the Morphic Puppet to create a distraction and return to Paradise immediately if he sensed another unknown arrival. He didn't want to take any chances now that Ilse was resting and he

was alone.

Suddenly, the whirlwind of Vylkr energy began to compress, drawing Orion's attention.

'Is the formation finally going to be completed?' Orion wondered to himself.

The compression lasted for twenty-five minutes before stabilizing again. Just as Orion thought it was over, he noticed rays of sunlight penetrating through the darkened sky, raining down on the whirlwind of Vylkr energy and him.

Orion frowned, noticing the strange turn of events. Despite its size decreasing significantly, he could not catch a glimpse of the artefact. He remained vigilant, worried about what would transpire next, as the Vylkr artefact's formation appeared incomplete.

Suddenly, wisps of divine energy from the surroundings began to infuse into the whirlwind of Vylkr energy. They didn't clash against each other; neither did the Vylkr energy try to subdue the divine energy. Instead, they intertwined, forming a mesmerizing whirlwind of pure white

and inky black.

Orion's eyes widened in shock as he witnessed the scene before him. He understood what this meant: the Vylkr artefact's magical formation had now transformed into a Divine Artifact Magical Formation.

Orion felt both fortunate and disappointed that Ilse wasn't here with him to confirm what was transpiring. He knew she would have struggled to handle the sudden influx of unknown

information, even as a goddess.

It was probably for the best that she wasn't around.

He couldn't summon Aerialia as she watched Aurora and Liora.

Suddenly, an intensely bright light, intertwining vibrant white and inky black, radiates from

the centre of the whirlwind.

It is the artefact within the formation.

Orion finally makes out its presence; it appears to be about seven feet long. Orion turned to look at the Morphic Puppet at his side before refocusing on the artefact.

No, it can't be! Orion thought, shaking his head. He had already concluded that the Morphic Puppet's emergence was due to the handiwork of the Vylkr spawns. This was an entirely different phenomenon. What were the odds that another Morphic Puppet would emerge from

it?

Orion tried to disprove his thoughts, reasoning that the formation of an artefact could result in something with its unique capabilities unless specific conditions triggered the formation. However, even with that, the resulting artefact would still be vastly different.

Finding no answer, Orion calmed his thoughts, took a deep breath, and exhaled. He wouldn't know if he was wrong until the formation of the artefact was complete, so the only thing he

could do now was wait and continue to observe.

.......

Several miles away from the Vylkr alloy mine,

It took seven hours for the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City to arrive at the Sleeping Fox Runaway City's location. Once preparations were completed to ensure the safe evacuation of the inhabitants of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, with hundreds of thousands of bridges connecting both Runaway Cities, the evacuation plan commenced.
