NOVEL NEXT Chapter 163: Music Feature
Viscount Roster, who'd learned about the chaos in his territory and wanted to rush back but was stuck in the Dawn Palace, kept refreshing his Magic Net. Then suddenly, he noticed a new feature called "Music" had appeared.
For Viscount Roster, a change without any warning was the biggest change of all. He immediately opened the feature without hesitation. There was only one song inside, but it left Viscount Roster completely stunned.
The creator of this piece was actually the Goddess of Music!
Looking at the song's description, which said it could calm people's minds and cleanse negative emotions, Viscount Roster was shocked. He clicked it open, and instantly, special music rang in his ears. This was completely different from any music he'd ever heard before. He couldn't even figure out how these notes were produced. Clearly, this was a fierce assault on his noble upbringing.
But the next moment, he realized that his anxiety, anger, and all kinds of negative emotions had suddenly completely disappeared. His overall state was unprecedentedly good.
"Whoa—truly worthy of being a masterpiece from the God of... God of Technology and the Goddess of Music. I just don't know how to amplify this sound... Look at my brain, I've really been too busy lately. Can't I just use an amplification spell?!"
No sooner said than done. Viscount Roster recalled how to use the amplification spell, then quickly mobilized his magic power and cast it on his Magic Net. Instantly, the voice from the Goddess of Music transmitted out from his Magic Net. The sound was extremely loud, instantly covering the entire palace, then spreading outward.
In the palace, besides the top seven, only royal family members and guard forces could stay here. But precisely because of this, the entire palace's atmosphere was one of the most terrifying areas in the world.
Whether it was those heirs, or people who wanted their close ones to inherit the position, or the seven of them with their hidden agendas—each one was deeply calculating. The instant that weird wave from the Church of War swept past, the darkest parts of everyone's hearts were completely activated.
You could even say they were all holding back their big moves, ready at any moment to drag the forces supporting them into irreversible doom. They were even more terrifying than those guys outside beating each other up.
But the instant this music rang in their ears, their hearts felt an unprecedented peace. Negative emotions like anger, jealousy, and greed seemed to be gently brushed away by invisible hands. In a trance, it even made them recall their childhood, when they weren't like this...
Even the King of Dawn, who'd already been corrupted by the God of War who knows how many times and was now in this kind of environment—you can imagine how dangerous that was—also successfully calmed down under the power of the Goddess of Music.
The sound kept spreading, quickly covering the districts where nobles lived.
The nobles' endless parties naturally wouldn't be abandoned because of the God of War's festival day. Most mansion banquet halls were brilliantly lit, but who knows how many nobles had already started fighting each other. Plenty of servants who'd been oppressed daily had somehow found the courage and were attacking their masters...
A chaos no less than a city being captured gradually calmed down under the Goddess of Music's influence. Even the nobles who were already wearing armor quieted down in the face of this sound that struck directly at the soul.
The anger and fear stirred up by the God of War gradually dissipated under the music's comfort. The nobles began to realize their madness and foolishness...
"Damn Church of War, what exactly are they using to attack us? To make us do things like this?! We should remove such a church from the Kingdom of Dawn, kick them out of our territories!"
Some nobles, living up to their status, quickly came to their senses and directly found the most active "villain" recently—at least the Church of War was the villain to them—then dumped everything on them, starting to denounce and criticize them, looking for methods and possibilities for "revenge." Other nobles who heard this also started shifting blame.
They couldn't very well admit they'd actually wanted to do this themselves, right?
So they needed a common enemy—it was all that guy's fault for making everyone fall into chaos... Almost all the nobles reached this consensus immediately, indicating that yes, this was definitely how things were.
In fact, before the sound had even crossed the area where the supernatural beings were, the nobles had already reached this consensus and expressed deep condolences and concern for nobles who'd unfortunately died or been disabled in this riot.
Compared to these ordinary people, most supernatural beings had only had their mental states affected somewhat, not too seriously. After hearing this sound, their hearts instead became incredibly firm, raising their condition to unprecedented heights. Many people quickly resumed work they hadn't finished yet. In this kind of atmosphere, their work efficiency and inspiration would both greatly improve.
As for the outer layer of ordinary citizens and poor people, facing the weird energy produced by the Church of War's sacrifices, they had basically no resistance. These areas had already fallen into complete chaos. Everywhere, shops were smashed, houses burned, streets were in total disarray. Who knows how many stores were looted clean, all kinds of violent crimes emerging endlessly. But after the Goddess of Music's voice covered them, everyone fell into shock and fear. They didn't know why they'd been so crazy, but this shock didn't last long before being replaced by peace. Everything that had just happened seemed forgotten.
"Looks like your voice can perfectly resist the God of War's influence even through the Magic Net." Watching all this, a deep smile appeared on Ren's face. Things would be even easier to accomplish than he'd thought. Plus, in this process, the Magic Net would be further strengthened.
"Now it depends on you. I'm also looking forward to seeing how long it takes to cover my voice across the entire world using the Magic Net." The Goddess of Music also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the divine nature remained after transmission through the Magic Net, then the prerequisite for cooperation between her and the God of Technology was established!
"Don't worry, you'll see a propagation speed beyond imagination."
While communicating with the Goddess of Music, Book, who was still in the divine realm, had already received Ren's order. Instantly, all Magic Nets sent out a notification.
