Chapter 757 We're safe for now, right?
As soon as the first gate hit the ground, Xu Ning and Leosley heard the roar of a huge wave crashing against the iron gate.
Almost instantly, the heavy steel gate was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, the gate deformed, and countless torrents shot out from around the gate frame.
"Xu Ning, run! The door is about to break down!"
Leosley had already pulled down the lever of the second door, and it looked like this door was about to close, but Xu Ning stood still.
Xu Ning unscrewed the lid of the Dust Concealment Gourd, took a big gulp, and said without turning his head, "If one door can't stop us, adding two more will only be futile. Since there's no way to avoid it, let's just use my method. But... well, who can say what will happen in the future..."
Xu Ning lightly flicked the gourd with his finger and casually instructed Qingyi, "Make sure you keep a close watch. Be careful not to hurt the flowers and plants. Oh, and ask Aji if he wants to come out and take a picture. It's a rare sight."
The moment the gate in front of him suddenly shattered, Leosley saw the gourd that Xu Ning had been holding with a red rope slowly float in the air, and then, like a whale sucking in water, it absorbed all the primordial water of the womb that was surging out of the passage into the gourd.
The primordial waters of the fetal sea gushing forth at the end of the passage seemed inexhaustible, but Xu Ning's wine gourd was like a bottomless pit, absorbing almost everything that poured out, without letting a single drop spill behind Xu Ning.
Leosley, who was pulling the mechanism down, suddenly pushed the gate back up.
Just as Xu Ning said, if one gate can't stop it, pulling two more will only delay the time and let a few more people board the ship; it can't stop the prophecy from coming.
But what does it mean now?
With just a gourd in his hand, Xu Ning removed the sharp blade that had been hanging over the heads of the Fengdan people for hundreds of years.
This... made Leosley feel that everything he had done over the past few decades was a complete joke!
What's even more outrageous is that while the gourd was absorbing the water from the primordial womb, it also released a raccoon dog.
As soon as the raccoon jumped out, it struck a cool pose with practiced ease.
Xu Ning didn't even pay attention to the gourd in mid-air. Instead, he held up the camera and took several photos of the raccoon cat from different angles, taking advantage of the huge flood scene behind it. He made the little thing very happy.
As Leosley was lost in thought about the meaning of his life, a series of rumbling thunderclaps echoed from above the elevator shaft.
Leosley didn't even look up to know that Clarinde was back.
At this moment, Leosley even hoped to see a different expression on Clorind's serious face—when she also witnessed this miraculous scene before her.
Before the thunder had even fully reached the passage, Clarind's figure had already appeared in front of Leosley.
Then, just like Leosley, she froze on the spot.
A wisp of water vapor almost brushed against her as she arrived, and then another figure appeared in the mist.
It was Lyosley who sent Claurind to inform the Supreme Judge of Fontaine—Navilette.
When Navelette saw what Xu Ning was doing, his expression changed slightly. He immediately stepped forward and swung his palm down to cut.
Xu Ning knew that Villette had arrived, and he also knew about the palm strike that had been delivered from behind him.
However, Xu Ning didn't even turn his head. Instead, he instructed Aji to keep the photos safe and then sent the little thing back to Chenyin Cave.
Vilette's palm strike wasn't aimed at Xu Ning's body, but rather at the water flow at the mouth of the Dust Concealment Gourd.
The fingertips lightly brushed across the water, just like a pair of scissors cutting through the thinnest and softest gauze, instantly splitting the surging waters of the womb in two.
The short section left at the mouth of the gourd was sucked into the Dust Concealment Gourd and disappeared, while the other section, connected to the enormous pillar of the fetal sea, seemed to be nailed in mid-air, unable to move forward even an inch for a moment.
"As prophesied, this day may come sooner or later... but not now."
Navelette held out her right hand, her palm rippling with power, as if it contained boundless strength. Then she suddenly took a step forward, steadily passing Xu Ning.
As Vilet stepped forward, the primordial waters of the womb in the passage seemed to receive a proclamation and began to slowly recede backward.
As Navelette passed through the first broken gate, the primordial waters of the Fetal Sea, which had been filling the sky, receded back beneath the ground. Navelette then changed her spell, and a massive seal formed on the water's surface, once again enveloping the culprit leader who had terrified the people of Fontaine.
Just moments ago, the primordial womb was turbulent and seemed ready to overturn everything, but now it suddenly became incredibly docile and slowly sank down.
Leosley and Claurind's expressions also turned extremely ugly at this moment.
Navelette turned around and looked at Xu Ning, who had already retrieved the gourd floating in mid-air, and asked calmly, "Perhaps you don't know, what you just did was completely wrong."
Xu Ning took a sip of his drink, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces before he smiled and replied, "Unfortunately, I knew, but I still did it. Doesn't Your Honor know what the consequences would have been if I hadn't intervened?"
"Moreover, I think my method is the best way to solve the problem once and for all, isn't it? If you forcefully suppress it like that, I'm afraid that while things might be suppressed in Mello Petersburg, some other branch might overflow, like that small pool at the Les factory? If that causes casualties to others, whose responsibility would it be?"
Navelette replied calmly, "The ancient prophecy is slowly becoming a reality. Rather than spending time assigning blame, we should focus on doing the things at hand well and finding a solution as soon as possible."
"Anyway, we're safe for now, right?"
It was Leosley who asked that question.
Claurind then followed up with another question: "...Or has the problem here been completely resolved?"
Navelette shook her head slightly. "The prophecy will not be extinguished by our small action. This time it has only been temporarily suppressed. As for when it will erupt again, I can hardly predict it."
Leosley scratched his head, holding up the huge iron gauntlet. "The result was somewhat unexpected, but it has far exceeded my expectations. Now that we've survived, shall we all sit down and have a good talk about the next steps? After all, we're all working for Fontaine."
Although Leosley spoke with a smile, the chilling aura emanating from the backs of his two iron gauntlets was already almost tangible.
Clarinde, with her eyes downcast and her expression more solemn than usual, not only had she drawn her ever-present longsword, but she also held a pistol in her other hand, just as the young master desired the "gun and sword clashing" posture.
The two people, one on each side, completely blocked the exit of the passage, and the small space was instantly filled with a chilling cold, as if it were the dead of winter.
