Chapter 427: Begone Basilisk
Atlan and the Enchanted Queen both stared at the Basilisk. And judging from the fear on its face, it looked like it was telling the truth this time.
"What kind of object would allow the Canzers to blur the lines between reality and Remedium?" Atlan asked.
"There's no such thing," the black dragon plushie replied. "If there was, then I would have known about it long ago."
"Do you think he's telling the truth?" he asked her.
"Yes. Unfortunately, this is all that this creature knows. No matter how much more we press it, it will not know anything more precise than that. The powers that are controlling this event kept this secret object to heart, telling no mere Canzer about it," the Enchanted Queen explained.
Meanwhile, Tulip felt completely out of place with their conversation. Even still, she wanted to contribute to their talk.
"Um.. isn't it possible that they were able to get their hands on a portal? You know, the one that humans like Atlan use to travel to the Remedium?" she asked.
Atlan looked at Tulip and wondered why he never thought of that possibility in the first place.
"Is that possible?" he asked the Enchanted Queen.
However, even the ancient black dragon had no definitive answer to give to both of them.
"I don't know," she admitted. "But whatever it is, we know that it is dangerous and must be destroyed at all costs. Atlan, you must try and search for more Canzers to interrogate. Some way or another, we will find what this magical object truly is."
Atlan nodded, agreeing with the Enchanted Queen. This encounter was far too dangerous for normal humans. After all, if he weren't here, then there could have been a lot more casualties in the end.
And there could have been a possibility in which the Saviors caught up in the Remedium were far too unprepared to take on the task of killing the Canzer. For example, a Student-level Savior may get mismatched with a Specialist-level Canzer.
Most of all, there could be a possibility that this could happen again, but would only contain normal humans, without any Saviors to protect them.
In that scenario, they had a sure death.
This was a problem that involved everyone in Genesis City.
It was another thing that HeadQuarters had to worry about since now, anything could happen.
At least back then, they could prepare for a mission. They could assign the proper and most fitted Saviors for the job after scouting what kind of Canzer was wreaking havoc in the Remedium. There was a sense of choice in that matter, and gave security to everyone.

However, now, it was lawless. Saviors could end up in Remediums whether they were prepared for it or not.
And the fact that they no longer had their immortality did not help either. At least back then, they could be sure that even if their entire body was shredded into pieces, they could still be revived through a single drop of blood.
But now, if they were dead, then they were dead. There was no coming back from that.
Saviors were already alarmed, anxious, and worried about going on a mission in the Remedium. Now, they would probably be too scared to even go out of their house.
"Queen, if there is another incident like this, can you sense it?" Atlan asked.
"Yes. As long as it is within the vicinity of Genesis City, then I can see the vibrations in reality, and will tell me where a Remedium has spawned," she replied.
"Good. We need to interrogate more Canzers to find out what's happening with this object."
Now that everything was settled, Atlan knew that it was time to kill the Basilisk.
And secretly, while Atlan and the Enchanted Queen were too busy chatting about their plans for the future, the Basilisk had slipped out of their sight and tried to escape from their grasp.
In response, Atlan had only one thing to say to the Basilisk.
"I hereby declare your actions into death."
Suddenly, a pure beam of death energy emanated out of Atlan and soon reached the Basilisk slithering away out of sight.
It was running on all four of its limbs, but even then, it could not seem to get rid of the soul-piercing gaze from Atlan. Not only that, but the death energy he emanated reached the Basilisk's body at light speed! There was no chance that the Basilisk could have escaped.
The death energy, which looked like black circles, suddenly entered the Basilisk's body.
And immediately, its body stopped working. Its legs, which had been running with full force away from Atlan, suddenly felt as if they had been cut off from the Basilisk's body. He couldn't feel his legs!
Soon, the 'death' spread all over the Basilisk's body, turning it paralyzed within a few seconds.
Even its eyes were prohibited from moving. It could only lie there as good as dead.
This was one of Atlan's abilities that he gained when he became a demigod of Death.
Action Death!
He used the death energy in his body to completely 'kill' the movement of a target, turning them paralyzed.
Once it had been completely immobilized, Atlan then raised his hand and pointed at the basilisk.
Suddenly, his body began to emanate a completely different power. It was the contrast to the death power he had just used. It was light!
Angel power began to surge out of the deepest parts of his soul, slowly manifesting itself in reality through a pure white cloud above the Basilisk's head.
Thunder rumbled above the Basilisk. However, it was far too paralyzed to even exhibit any sort of fear from the pure Angel power emerging out of those clouds.
But that wasn't even the worst part for the Basilisk.
After all, the hundreds of Atlan's clones also began to raise their hands and use the Angel power in their souls.
Each clone targeted a Basilisk clone, creating a cloud above their heads that thundered with Angel power.
"Begone," Atlan uttered.
Suddenly, a golden lightning pierced through the clouds and reached the Basilisk and its clones, turning them into mere ashes in just a few seconds.
