They were preparing to eat humans!
Among the three major factions in the Southern Continent, only the Beastn engaged in cannibalism.
Right now, a group of Beastn had gathered in a circle around the fire, busily preparing for their upcoming al, so sprinkling spices into the large cauldron, others setting up tables and chairs, and so even pairing drinks with their anticipated delicacies.
Besides the Beastn, several humans were bound in the corner, watching the horrific scene unfold with extre terror. They were reserve rations. Even if they wouldn't be eaten this ti, they would certainly be devoured next ti. Seeing others of their own kind being cooked alive, how could they not be terrified?
The few delicate won already thrown into the cauldron scread in fear. The water temperature hadn't risen yet, so they hadn't felt physical pain, but the sheer terror in their hearts made them shriek uncontrollably.
"When humans are extrely frightened, their blood circulates faster, making the cooked at even more delicious," said a ram-headed Beastman, licking his lips as if already savoring the feast.
"Let Elder Andor eat first."
Another Beastman said.
"Of course."
The ram-headed Beastman nodded, then cautiously glanced to one side.
On a chair sat a neatly dressed Beastman, another ram-headed figure with black fur, whose appearance surprisingly carried a sowhat compassionate expression.
He was Andor, the leader of this group, and his status was far from ordinary. He was one of the two Beast Gods within the Beastn faction!
At this mont, Andor glanced at the screaming won in the cauldron and smiled slightly. "Although cooking them while their blood is rushing makes the taste more exquisite, all this shouting is rather noisy."
As he spoke, he raised a finger and pointed into the air. A streak of fire instantly surged toward the bottom of the cauldron.
He intended to make the flas scorchingly hot in an instant, killing these won outright.
But just as the fire was about to reach the cauldron's base, a mysterious ripple spread through the area, as if a hand had smoothed a wrinkled blanket, causing the incoming fire to vanish without a trace.
At the sa ti, the few won screaming in the cauldron instantly disappeared. The large pot beca completely empty.
"Hmm?"
This sudden change imdiately altered Andor's expression.
The others only noticed sothing was wrong when they saw Andor's reaction, quickly standing up and looking around in confusion.
Only then did they realize that the won who had vanished from the cauldron had reappeared beside the group of bound reserve rations. Standing beside them was an additional figure.
It was a red-haired girl dressed in a form-fitting black dress, currently casting a spell on the won just rescued from the cauldron, rapidly removing water stains and spices from their bodies and instantly drying their clothes.
This red-haired girl was naturally Carlotta!
After swiftly rescuing those she intended to save, Carlotta spoke in the Southern Continent's language: "You're safe now. Leave on your own."
The ropes binding the reserve rations had naturally been undone by Carlotta.
At this mont, the group, having regained their lives, felt overwhelming excitent.
Yet one person remained calm and warned anxiously, "Be careful! These Beastn are terrifying. One of the Beast Gods has appeared."
At the ntion of the Beast God, the others instantly lost their excitent, glancing fearfully toward the Beastn.
People of the Southern Continent naturally understood what the Beast God represented, a terrifying existence nearly impossible to oppose.
Among humans, perhaps only the legendary figures Holy Sword and Holy Spear could stand against such a being.
"Can we even escape?"
Soone couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not."
The voice ca from Andor.
As he spoke, his figure drifted over like a ghost, appearing beside the group.
His eyes carried a cold glint as he glanced at Carlotta. "Did I permit you to take them? Truly... unaware of your own mortality."
As the final words fell, Andor raised his hand, a sheep's claw, and fiercely swiped at Carlotta's head. Any ordinary person struck like this would undoubtedly lose their head.
But Andor had encountered Carlotta!
In Carlotta's eyes, a scene resembling a flowing galaxy appeared. Then, everything within this area froze, as if ti and space had been locked.
This was Carlotta using the power of her inner world to suppress the outside, with the world's force taking effect.
Then she cast her Word Magic: "Kneel, Andor."
With a thud, Andor, the Beast God, an existence equivalent to an Exalted, actually knelt down.
This scene caused everyone present to change expressions, including Andor himself, who never expected to be forced into such an action.
This was Word Magic?
He knew there was soone in the Northern Continent who wielded Word Magic, Aldrich Suarez. But even if Aldrich himself arrived, could he possibly exert such terrifying suppression?
"Who is Aldrich to you?"
Andor gritted his teeth and asked.
"Why ask about that defeated subordinate of mine? He was already slain by ."
Carlotta replied indifferently.
Andor was instantly scared. He didn't think Carlotta was lying, because she had already demonstrated Word Magic.
In his mory, Aldrich, above all else, had exceptional survival abilities. After all, with Word Magic, one could use countless phrases for self-preservation.
Yet now, soone with such formidable self-preservation had actually died?
"Ughh!"
Andor roared loudly, forcing his body back to its feet. As he stood, the ground violently shook, as if an earthquake was occurring.
Resisting the power of Word Magic to stand was extrely difficult. Even Andor, an Exalted, had to use his full strength, causing such a massive disturbance.
"Both Exalted, why should I fear you?"
Dark flas rose from Andor's body. Within the flas, countless tornted souls appeared, emitting wailing, ghost-like screams.
Then he struck fiercely, his black claws glowing with light, rapidly closing in on Carlotta.
"Suppression!"
Carlotta whispered.
With just those simple words, she completely froze Anders in place, rendering him unable to move even slightly.
This was no ordinary location, this was Sky Island!
If this had happened elsewhere, Carlotta might have needed more ti to deal with Exalted alone. But now that she possessed Sky Island, she naturally had to make full use of its power.
If an enemy could be defeated in a simpler way, then the simpler thod should be used, there was no need for unnecessary complications.
Sky Island could even seal Outer Gods. Using it to immobilize an Exalted was absolutely no problem at all.
At this mont, as his body was frozen in place, terror instantly flooded Anders' eyes. He didn't even understand why he was immobilized and unable to move. Even as an Exalted, such a thing was beyond his expectations.
He had never imagined that a day would co when he'd find himself in such a humiliating situation, this simply shouldn't happen to soone like him, an Exalted!
Unable to move his body or utter a word, he could only stand there, dazed as if ti itself had frozen around him.
Undoubtedly, he had beco nothing more than a target!
Carlotta wouldn't leave this target standing for long. She raised her hand and ford a blazing Sword of Faith, which she gripped and fiercely defended, instantly cleaving the sheep-headed beast god before her into two halves!
Imdiately afterward, the sacred flas clinging to the Sword of Faith continued devouring the beast god's body, rapidly consuming the Exalted entirely.
This scene was profoundly shocking to everyone else.
Everyone knew this was the Beast God of the beastn, the one of the highest existences on the entire Southern Continent. Yet such a being had just been cut down so easily by Carlotta?
Was this normal?
The group of humans who had been captured as food were already dumbfounded, completely unprepared for such a dramatic turn of fate, let alone witnessing this spectacle afterwards.
anwhile, the remaining beastn nearby felt nothing but horror, their entire bodies going cold, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Were they dreaming?
Otherwise, how could the mighty Beast God die so easily? That was the Beast God, not just so stray dog on the street!
But soon, they wouldn't need to worry about this matter anymore, because they could now follow the footsteps of their Beast God.
With just a wave of her hand, residual divine flas surged forward, erasing nurous beastn completely, leaving only black ashes drifting down to the ground.
"Alright, those who needed to be dealt with have been dealt with. Rest easy."
With those words, Carlotta disappeared from everyone's sight.
Afterward, Carlotta traveled across various locations of Sky Island, cutting down beastn and demons one after another, leaving none of them alive.
As for the humans, she judged on a case-by-case basis. Anyone connected to that so-called Holy Chaos Sword, once detected through Sky Island, would similarly be eliminated without rcy.
In a short ti, Carlotta road freely throughout Sky Island, leaving behind one legend after another... To others, what she displayed upon her appearance, wasn't that exactly what legends were made of?
As for Carlotta's identity, even here in the Southern Continent, it quickly began to spread.
While people of the Southern Continent indeed knew little about what happened in the Northern Continent, they weren't completely ignorant. So had heard news from the north and knew certain things about Carlotta. Naturally, these people were able to connect the events happening here with what they rembered from the Northern Continent, thus learning Carlotta's true identity.
"She's called Carlotta White."
Much exclaid in shock, eyes filled with complex emotions. They never expected soone from the Northern Continent to so easily stir endless chaos across their Southern Continent.
But this was a good thing, because the ones Carlotta killed were exactly those people whom many deeply hated!
At this mont, after finishing dealing with those who needed to be eliminated, Carlotta returned to Sky God Mountain.
Just then, the High Priestess erged from a building.
The mont she stepped out and saw Carlotta flying within Sky God Mountain, she imdiately shouted to call her over.
"Why are you able to fly here?"
The High Priestess asked, confused.
Even she herself was deprived of the ability to fly within this Sky God Mountain, her powers were suppressed here.
Seeing this, Carlotta smiled and said, "Quite a few things happened just now. I'll explain everything in detail. Let's go to Alia's place. I'll tell you both at once."
The High Priestess nodded.
At this mont, Alia was still at the summit area.
When Carlotta and the High Priestess arrived, Alia was observing nurous images around her, her eyes reflecting deep understanding.
Seeing Alia's state, the High Priestess murmured, "Generally speaking, once soone comprehends divinity, they're considered Exalteds. Yet she's still only a middle tier Weaver, yet already capable of sensing divinity. I wonder if she counts as an Exalted."
Carlotta smiled slightly. "I think she does. Those who have sensed divinity see their combat power greatly enhanced. Although Alia hasn't fought yet, I can vaguely sense her combat strength changing. Perhaps she's already capable of battling normal Exalteds without being at a disadvantage."
Upon hearing this, the High Priestess wore an unusual expression.
In truth, it wasn't just Carlotta who felt this way, she felt it too.
This caused her heart to ponder: what kind of era was this, where one genius wasn't enough, but another appeared right after?
'Perhaps, this is destiny. The Outer Gods are about to break free in this era, and extraordinary geniuses are appearing as well, aren't they exactly here to confront the Outer Gods?'
Suddenly, the High Priestess gained full confidence in how to deal with the Outer Gods.
Next, Carlotta recounted to Alia and the High Priestess how she had gained control over Sky Island.
She also ntioned information regarding the Outer Gods, causing the High Priestess to frown deeply, her expression tense.
She had just begun feeling hopeful for the future, but upon hearing all the details about the Outer Gods, her heart unavoidably tightened again. The Outer Gods seed extrely difficult to deal with, could their side truly handle such terrifying beings?
Mainly because the Sky Island's consciousness had given such a short tifra, saying the Outer Gods might revive within just one year!
And even that estimate was relatively conservative, the actual ti for the Outer Gods' true unsealing might be far shorter than anyone imagined.
