While General Neyi and the Fanghorn General were discussing how to enter the Residential Zone, metallic clanking noises came from within the transit pillars.

Several breaths later, the transit pillars reopened their entrances, marking the deactivation of the Doomsday lockdown system.

Surprises could be seen on everyone's faces.

The Fanghorn General was just mentioning that the Doomsday lockdown system could only be manually deactivated from the other side. Yet, suddenly, someone actually did it? Nevertheless, the deactivation of the Doomsday lockdown didn't just surprise the military; it surprised the nobles' side even more.

After all, the Doomsday lockdown couldn't be reactivated within a short time of deactivating; it had a thirty-minute cooldown. Such a timer was actually quite short, but it was long enough to be a death sentence for the nobles.

"Do you have any idea what you have done?!" a Baron-rank Celestial nobleman roared furiously with a mix of rage, horror, and disbelief. He couldn't believe one of his best knights had betrayed him.

As the Ninth-stage Divine Origin Realm Celestial Knight leaned against a white wall, impaled by a black spear, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and felt his life slipping away.

All of his bones had been crushed, and his internal organs were severely misplaced or ruptured. His condition was simply beyond terrible after facing the wrath of his "lord."

However, the Celestial Knight didn't have any regret regarding his action.

Bloodied and battered, the Celestial Knight looked up at his master with a grin and said, "You nobles can all go to hell. I have long waited for a day like this... My brothers, I'll be going first... Sasha, my love, I'm coming to see you now..."

After giving the Baron the middle finger, the Celestial Knight's arm dropped shortly after, having drawn his last breath.

Boom!

The Baron exploded the Celestial Knight's body into thousands of bloody pieces with his divine power, completely enraged. He couldn't stand the Celestial Knight's peaceful passing.

"Bastard!" the Baron gritted his teeth.

Thinking back, the name "Sasha" sounded familiar. It was a common name, but it did belong to a peasant lady from five hundred years ago. Her beauty had moved him to the point that he did not hesitate to make her his thirteen concubine by force.

Unfortunately, she committed suicide shortly after he conquered her body. Still, her beautiful image remained fresh in his memory.

To think she had a lover...

Moreover, it was his best knight! Such patience! Such dedication! Such vengeance! All for one woman!

The Celestial Knight's faithfulness to his lover would have been considered praiseworthy in the eyes of many people. However, in the Baron's eyes, he was extremely foolish. With a Knight's status, he could have any number of women. Yet, he gave up his life for one.

No matter how much the Baron wanted to curse his Knight, the latter was already dead, obliterated into bits. Now, he had to face the wrath of his peers.

As expected, spirit calls came in not long after the manual deactivation.

"Sir Cuzho, you fucking bastard! What have you done?! How dare you deactivate the lockdown!" the Fanghorn Lord's furious curses sounded.

"It wasn't me, Lord Di. It was my Knight," the Baron sighed.

"What difference does it make?! The seventh transit pillar was your responsibility! Your incompetence in managing your men has fucked us all! How are you going to fix this?!" the Fanghorn Lord raged through the spirit communicator.

"I'll block the seventh pillar's entrance with my life," the Baron sighed.

It was the least he could do-No, it was the only choice he had. If he didn't do it, he would have to face his angry peers; they would definitely rip him apart like ravenous wolves.

Shortly after leaving the seventh transit pillar's underground circuitry control room, the Baron summoned his remaining Knights. Since his best Knight betrayed him, he could not trust any of the rest.

As such, he immediately put them under a spirit confession spell for interrogation. "Have I hurt anyone important to you before? Any lover, family, or friend?" "Yes."

"No."

It was only a short question, but the Baron immediately weeded out one potential rebel out of his five remaining Knights. The person did not get a chance to explain himself before he was executed on the spot.

"The rest of you, go and block the entrance with your life. Kill anyone who tries to pass through. If you can't go on, combust your Divine World and take down as many as you can with-"

Puchi!

Just when the Baron put his guard down in front of his Knights, one of them stabbed him in the back, piercing straight through his heart. Moreover, it was a knife laced with divine

poison.

"Dammit!" the Baron roared furiously.

His divine energy immediately exploded outward, blasting the Knight far away before he turned around with bloodshot eyes.

"Why?!"

"I have never liked your filthy nature... Also, you just killed my friend."

The Knight coughed as he leaned against some broken debris. His physical condition was not much different from the Knight who deactivated the seventh transit pillar.

"Fuck-!!" the Baron cursed furiously, wanting to finish the Knight off.

However, the divine poison spreading from his heart was far more vicious than he imagined. It wasn't something he could easily isolate or expel with his divine energy, especially not after it was injected directly into his heart.

The divine poison turned his heart black with decay, blood purple with clots, and skin yellow with bubbly pus.

Worse of all, the Baron felt like his inwards was being scorched by hellfire. The pain came with an unbearable itch, prompting him to scratch his pus-filled flesh. He couldn't feel the

slightest relief unless he tore his flesh apart with his own nails.

Even after digging into his bones, the itch did not go away.

Everyone watched as the Baron chiseled away at his pus-filled, softened body until death eventually claimed. His mixed expression of pain and ecstasy sent a chill down people's spine. Even in death, the Baron did not know what kind of poison he was inflicted with.

However, everyone could agree that it was one of the most deadly and vicious poisons they had ever witnessed. It was something that an amateur could casually cook up.

It was definitely the handiwork of a top-rank Poison Master!
