Chapter 433 Extreme Condition

"Ugh..."

When Fang Li regained consciousness, before even opening his eyes, he keenly sensed a change in the atmosphere around him.

It was a solemn and extremely sacred atmosphere, unlike the angry city he was in before.

So, Fang Li was sure that he was no longer in the same place.

At least, this kind of atmosphere would never appear in a lively city filled with ordinary residents.

"So, what happened exactly?"

With this murmur, Fang Li slowly opened his eyes.

The scene that entered Fang Li's eyes was indeed a place that perfectly matched the solemn and sacred ambiance around.

There were no walls around.

Above, there was an open sky.

Tall stone pillars rose around him.

The beautiful starry sky reflected above.

There was no confined space.

No planned boundaries.

This was a temple suspended in the void.

And within such a place, Fang Li was on the central altar.

His limbs were bound by robust chains extending from stone pillars in all directions.

"Hum..."

Fang Li could feel the considerable Power of Existence flowing through the robust chains that bound his limbs.

Combined with the tightly restrained and utterly helpless feeling, even without trying, Fang Li knew that he couldn't break free from these chains using his power alone.

Moreover, even if Fang Li could break free, the people around him wouldn't allow him to act recklessly.

After all, from the very beginning, Fang Li had sensed it.

He felt the gazes directed toward his body.

So, Fang Li raised his head and looked around.

Around the altar, three individuals were arranged in a triangular formation in front of tall stone pillars, directing different gazes toward Fang Li.

There was a gaze filled with playful implications.

There was a gaze tinged with scrutiny.

There was a gaze devoid of any emotion.

These three gazes all converged on Fang Li, causing his eyes to glitter slightly.

The playful gaze came from a middle-aged man who seemed like a bodyguard.

The scrutinizing gaze came from a voluptuous female resembling an aristocrat.

The emotionless gaze came from a petite girl resembling a priestess.

Looking at these three individuals, Fang Li instantly understood his situation.

Yes.

Fang Li had been captured.

Just a short while ago.

In a split second.

By the leader of a large Denizen group named "Bal Masqué."

"Trinity."

 "Nice to see you again, little human devil," Sydonay leaned against a stone pillar, with his arms crossed, and a quasi-smile on his face behind sunglasses. "Didn't expect this, huh? Meeting again in this peculiar way."

In response, Fang Li remained silent, turning his gaze towards another person.

Similarly leaning against a stone pillar, arms crossed, exuding an air of nobility, and with a face that consistently carried a captivating smile— Bel Peol.

"Nice to meet you, the human with the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child)."

For Bel Peol, Fang Li's existence held only this much significance.

The last member of Trinity, Hecate, was even more direct.

"Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child)..."

With this low murmur, Hecate looked straight at Fang Li, her eyes devoid of any emotion. Her delicate yet exquisite face showed no trace of expression, almost like a mechanical display.

From the bodies of these three individuals, an indescribable oppressive force surged like a flood, enveloping the entire temple.

The object of this oppressive force, apart from Fang Li, had no other candidates.

This was the Crimson World Crimson Lord known as Trinity.

Even among all the Crimson Lords in Crimson World, they were at the pinnacle, truly resembling the Denizens of a Crimson Lord.

Looking at these three Crimson World Crimson Lords, Fang Li seemed to grasp the current situation.

He was captured.

And he was being watched by three cream-of-the-crop Crimson Lords.

This situation was extremely dire.

However, the worse the situation, the calmer Fang Li became— this was one of his few strengths.

Therefore, Fang Li neither panicked nor acted recklessly. He calmly glanced at Hecate, Sydonay, and Bel Peol, and after a while, he smiled indifferently.

"To deal with a captured human, is it not a bit too extravagant for the entire Trinity to mobilize?"

Fang Li's words elicited three entirely different reactions.

Hecate remained silent, glaring at Fang Li.

Sydonay shrugged, offering no comment.

Only Bel Peol deeply looked at Fang Li, smiling meaningfully.

"For us, the importance of the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) is just that," Bel Peol chuckled. "Moreover, at this moment, I think you deserve this treatment. Being able to remain so calm while understanding the current situation, it's not something an ordinary human could achieve, is it?"

"Moreover, as a human, the current situation surprises me," Bel Peol continued chatting in an exceptionally casual tone, smiling at Fang Li. "If I have to say why, it's because you haven't disappeared yet. That alone is enough to astonish me."

The Unrestricted Spell set for Fang Li was designed for the transference of matter. In Bel Peol's plan, when the Unrestricted Spell was activated, Fang Li's Power of Existence, predetermined as the target, should have been completely absorbed, becoming the driving force for the Unrestricted Spell and leading to his disappearance.

Subsequently, after Fang Li disappeared, the Unrestricted Spell in operation would effortlessly transfer the remaining Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) to their hands, falling into the grasp of the "Bal Masqué."

For this purpose, Bel Peol, as the strategist, set up many traps. The ultimate result was that Fang Li was successfully lured into the activation of the Unrestricted Spell.

However, Bel Peol did not expect things to go so smoothly.

Of course, when things went too smoothly, it highlighted the difficulty Fang Li posed.

The smoother it went, the earlier Fang Li discovered the Unrestricted Spell set by Bel Peol, showcasing his exceptional abilities.

Yet, Fang Li did not disappear. Instead, he became the target of the set Unrestricted Spell, and his entire being was transferred to this place.

This was something Bel Peol did not anticipate.

"May I inquire?" Bel Peol asked humbly. "How did you manage this?"

"It's nothing special," Fang Li replied nonchalantly. "I just made a few preparations in advance."
