205 Higher Evil Energy

That's why Adam wasn't concerned; no one in their right mind would use Higher Energy.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

...or would they? nOve(lb-In

"What the hell are you doing, Veronica?! The entire kingdom could be wiped off the face of the earth!" Elizabeth shouted angrily, shocked, halting her attack and assuming a defensive position.

Around Veronica, whirlwinds of dark energy with shades of violet swirled, distorting the sky and making the ground tremble. People who hadn't managed to escape from the castle were seized by sudden madness and began attacking others, while the protective layers on the castle started gradually disappearing.

It was a scene of horror. The whole world trembled in fear as day slowly turned into night. Just a moment ago, the fresh air suddenly became heavy, and every breath made the lungs expand and ache as if a foreign object had entered them. It was Higher Energy, capable of destroying the world and spawning chaos.

Adam watched in horror. It suddenly seemed to him that his entire world was crumbling, while cuts appeared on his body, oozing black liquid – his blood. It was unbearable to witness this scene.

"Like the end of the world. What a dreadful sight," the man muttered, gritting his teeth and exerting all his strength to resist the influence of Higher Energy, but... each attempt failed. Realizing this, the man sighed, "I was too arrogant, thinking that my modest magical energy could resist Higher Energy. The only thing left is to calm Veronica."

When they spoke of her as mad, Adam was wary, but after a personal encounter, he didn't see anything particularly wrong with her. However, now... it began to seem to him that it would have been better to believe the words of people who warned him to be careful. This woman lacked both patience and logic!

Meanwhile, the situation became more and more horrifying. A massive surge of magical energy resembled a flood, engulfing the sea in a storm. It couldn't be stopped, and the influence of Higher Energy was already affecting the entire capital, not to mention that the radius of energy impact was increasing every second!

Sveerk!

The situation abruptly changed. Adam squinted, trying to shield himself from the sudden flash that covered the entire sky, thus obscuring the image of the battle between Veronica and Elizabeth. The only thing he could feel was that the influence of Higher Energy had halved, while the rapidly expanding range of energy impact noticeably decreased, surrounding only the castle.

"What kind of energy is this? It doesn't fit into the category of Higher Energy, neither magical energy nor demonic. I'm sure it doesn't belong to these two, so... who is it?" Adam thought, stepping back, not wanting to be accidentally touched.

Meanwhile, in the heavens, Veronica looked with obvious annoyance at the white spark flying between the two women. It was this spark that made the Higher Evil Energy retreat. And both women had an unpleasant expression on their faces. Moreover..."

"What the hell did you interfere in our battle?" Veronica asked roughly, with a wary look, gradually weakening the force of the Higher Evil Energy. She was vigilant and dared not behave rudely, which was very surprising.

"I have the same question for you. I'm sure that more than a thousand years ago, a contract was made between us, stating that no foot of beings from the upper world would step on mortal lands," Elizabeth asked, crossing her arms on her chest and frowning, showing hostility to the sudden guest.

The white spark remained silent. Energy bursts continued to emanate from it, gradually freeing Veronica from the Higher Evil Energy, which was already weakening because the woman no longer maintained control over it. However, as expected, even so, Higher Energy did not lose its power.

And so, more than half an hour passed. However, neither of the women, especially Veronica, showed impatience and waited for the guest to answer their questions. And when all the Higher Evil Energy was removed, a voice, whether male or female – it was impossible to understand because the pitch and tone of the voice changed with every word, finally sounded.

"You used Higher Energy and thereby violated the rules of the contract. Should I give you an account of why we intervened?"

The voice was filled with apathy – it was not cold, like Elizabeth's voice, but rather a complete absence of any emotions. Moreover, the voice of the speaker was filled with a mysterious presence that influenced the minds of the listeners.

"Hmm..."

"..."

Veronica just chuckled, while Elizabeth fell silent. By that time, they understood and accepted the fact that they were the first violators, so they did not blame the unknown creature any further. Silence ensued and lasted until Veronica asked a question.

"So, why did you, Gods, decide to show up? I'm sure if it were a few centuries ago, you wouldn't have paid any attention to this occasion. So what's with these amusing changes in character?" Veronica asked with a hint of sarcasm, curling the corners of her mouth.

"Amusing changes? In any case, you haven't changed, [email protected]'s sister... Hmm, interesting. Can't I even say his name?" The unknown creature said – initially speaking loudly, but once he mentioned the name of someone about whom nothing was known, he switched to a whisper. Then he continued speaking with a clear voice, "In any case, you'll find out about it at our next meeting. I can only say that the location of Hell has been found, and soon you will have to go there. It's an order."

"Ha..."

Veronica held her breath, feeling everything inside her tearing into three parts. Her emotions were in chaos, and her heartbeat accelerated. Hell...

Demons came to this world immediately after Hell began to collapse. They began teleporting beyond Hell, and this case is still impossible to explain in any way. Nothing foreshadowed this. So Veronica was shocked that Hell was found again, as she thought it had been destroyed!

"In two weeks, a meeting will be scheduled. It will take place at the Elfheim Castle," the mysterious voice announced, and the white light began to fade, disappearing. His last words before disappearing were, "[email protected]'s sister, prepare for heavy trials. Your participation in this mission is mandatory."

"Stop!-"

However, Veronica's cry didn't reach the mysterious voice. She just hung in the air, shocked.

***

After the Higher Energy disappeared, a stream of guards immediately began entering the royal castle. First, they started collecting the bodies of servants and some officials. The number of casualties reached 550, with 90% of them being servants, and the remaining officials and guards.

The losses were significant, dealing a severe blow to the state of the capital. News of what the royal castle had turned into had long reached the ears of journalists, who wasted no time in writing about it. By Adam's order, the Veridia Company allocated funds to help the families of the deceased.

The war between the two competitors was forgotten because the situation had turned into something insane. No one cared anymore about who was right and who was wrong; everyone was concerned with the question, "What happened?" Queen Elizabeth did not provide a clear answer, leaving the residents scared and puzzled.

At the same time, Adam was released from custody, but it didn't cause any uproar, given the current events. Now he was in a room with Veronica and Elizabeth.

It was an office where the man and the queen worked together, so Adam felt comfortable as if he had returned home. However, the tense atmosphere prevented him from relaxing – the two women looked at each other with hostility, but at the same time, no one took any action.

"What really happened? There was a flash, and Veronica's Higher Energy began to disappear gradually, and then it disappeared completely! Moreover, they looked extremely shocked," Adam thought, not wanting to start a dialogue, seeing the mood of the two women.

And even an idiot could understand that something else surprised them. Moreover, the man could feel the third presence, and they might have been talking to it, which explained their shocked faces.

However, they didn't rush to explain anything to him, which suggested that the situation was indeed serious. Moreover, Adam's intuition screamed about unknown danger, and his body was trembling. He was overwhelmed by various emotions that he couldn't explain: joy, excitement, and fear.

And he couldn't understand what was going on.

***

The next day, Adam met again with Elizabeth, who decided to postpone their meeting until today because she was not in the mood for negotiations. He also had a few thoughts, so he agreed. And so...

The castle was much quieter than usual. Not a single soul during all the time he wandered to Elizabeth's office. Moreover, those he met usually had a deep bitterness on their faces and weren't particularly eager to engage in a conversation, so Adam didn't bother them.

It was clear that the sudden attack on the castle and the Higher Energy of Evil had a profound impact on the people who fell under its influence. Too many lives were lost, and the anger of those who lost their loved ones was too great to be justified as a mere accident.

The only thing holding them back was Elizabeth herself. She had ruled for millennia, possessing great power and influence, so no one dared to defy or be rude to her, or else death awaited them. That was the reputation of the Holy Queen.

"Fortunately, Sedyon wasn't affected by this energy, although a few residents lost their sanity," he thought and sighed.

Higher Energy. Even with all his imagination, Adam couldn't fully grasp its true power. It was so mighty that it even reached Sedyon, who was far away from the capital. This raised questions about whether Veronica was completely insane when she wielded it in action.

"What a hassle, damn it..."
