"Non-wind attribute forces will enhance internal destructive power, and at the same time, they will disrupt the stability of the overall structure?"
Touching her chin, Veronia seemed to understand how to deal with this stormcloud. Beside her, Фэн Юань looked at Veronia curiously and asked,
"What have you discovered now?"
"A method that could be considered a legitimate way to solve the trouble."
With a mysterious smile, Veronia said. Knowing that Фэн Юань was not blind to the situation within the stormcloud, it was just that his attention was not focused inside it. After all, the perimeter had chaotic air currents and turbulent wind attribute energy, making it necessary to use some means to see inside clearly.
Not explaining too much to Фэн Юань and the others, Veronia immediately strengthened the crystallization effect of the Crystal Rose. The unique power continued to surge from the Crystal Rose into the stormcloud, spreading the crystallization phenomenon rapidly. The entire interior of the stormcloud echoed with the piercing sound of crystal shards frantically colliding.
Due to the rapidly intensifying crystal shard flow inside, the Crystal Rose could not hold out for long and was completely shattered by it.
At this moment, the crazily swirling crystal shard flow inside the stormcloud had become incredibly powerful. Veronia hesitated for a moment before deciding not to continue releasing the Crystal Rose, as she clearly understood that the shard flow inside was enough to easily destroy any Crystal Rose that ventured inside the stormcloud.
Though Фэн Юань did not quite understand what Veronia was doing, the chaotically swirling crystal shard flow inside the stormcloud was not hard to notice. However, because the internal dynamic balance was being disrupted, the entire stormcloud began to expand continuously.
"Are you betting that thing will burst before it catches up to the Ferris wheel?"
Glancing at Veronia, Фэн Юань said somewhat helplessly. Even though the stormcloud’s movement was slow, the Ferris wheel’s rotation speed was not fast either. Relatively speaking, the stormcloud was actually faster than the Ferris wheel. Фэн Юань was genuinely worried about the problem if the stormcloud’s expansion speed was further accelerated.
"Otherwise? There’s no way to repel that thing."
Looking at the stormcloud rapidly growing and approaching due to its size increase, Veronia said indifferently. Фэн Юань shook his head without refuting. He really had no other method to deal with the stormcloud. Forcibly wiping it out was not impossible, but... the stability of space was a constraint there.
As long as the restriction of spatial stability remained, he couldn’t act recklessly. But judging from the present situation, the stormcloud would probably expand to the Ferris wheel before it collapsed on its own.
Najia hummed softly, causing the air around the Ferris wheel to start flowing. Wind attribute Особый приёмов indeed would enhance the stormcloud, but Najia could employ methods that were similar to but not of the wind attribute Особый приёмов to try stopping the stormcloud.
As everyone took action, the Ferris wheel had already reached the highest point. As the cabin started descending, their means of attack were limited because there were other cabins and the main framework of the Ferris wheel between them and the stormcloud. If they weren’t careful while attacking, the attacks could hit the main frame or the cabins.
This also made it difficult for Yang Hongzhi to take counterattack actions. If they had no other choice, it might have been different, but now Фэн Юань could still take action to clear the small cloud clusters, significantly reducing the necessity for Yang Hongzhi to take such risky actions.
As the cabin they were in passed the highest point and gradually descended, the clouds throughout the space began to roil. Just as the stormcloud was about to reach the Ferris wheel, the chaotic energy inside finally couldn’t hold on and exploded apart.
The violent air currents fiercely impacted everything around them. The massive Ferris wheel emitted a piercing noise in this turbulent windstorm, and the cabin where everyone was seated swayed continuously from the wind. As the stormcloud disappeared, the endless series of black small cloud clusters also vanished, but Фэн Юань couldn’t shake off the feeling that things were not that simple.
Perhaps because they succeeded in eliminating the stormcloud, they encountered no more strange phenomena before reaching the clouds. Finally able to relax for a moment, everyone began to admire the view outside the window.
Holding Xiao Ji, Фэн Юань gently smoothed its fur and said,
"It’s rare to have such a leisure opportunity, but alas..."
Due to the need to make room, Xiao Ji did not maintain its eagle form, nestling discontentedly in Фэн Юань’s embrace, as it preferred to take action personally. But that stormcloud, if not for Veronia and Najia joining forces, it would have been difficult to resolve.
The leisure was short-lived. When the clouds enveloped the cabin once more, everyone understood that another spatial transition was likely imminent. However, when the cabin broke through the thick clouds, what was revealed left them feeling puzzled and bewildered.
"Another Cloud Paradise? Or rather, like light and darkness?"
Staring at the cloud paradise composed of dark clouds, Фэн Юань scratched his head and said, while Veronia recalled the plot and settings of the Tashimar Fantasy Circus series, realizing that this place didn’t exist in the original.
"Dark Cloud Paradise? I’m sure this is unrelated to the original, but calling it a mirror doesn’t seem right either."
Touching her chin, Veronia said with an inexplicable expression. Lightning flashed continuously within the clouds below. Although the overall structure appeared similar to Cloud Paradise, differing seemingly only in the cloud color, the jumping lightning could potentially harm all creatures stepping onto the clouds.
Moreover, unlike in Cloud Paradise, which was full of stairways, this place had no apparent cloud staircases but rather many small cloud clusters scattered around.
"Let’s first try eliminating those small cloud clusters to see what effect that brings."
Seeing the small dark cloud clusters appear again, Фэн Юань controlled nine Fire Guns to launch an attack. As the small dark cloud clusters were shattered, the entire Dark Cloud Paradise began to dim, and the flickering lightning became increasingly conspicuous, yet Фэн Юань did not halt his assault due to this change.
Unlike before, they had ascended from below Cloud Paradise, making it hard to see the entire space initially. But this time was different. Фэн Юань had long noticed that there was no possibility of reaching a vantage point here—no routes existed, and the cloud layer at the highest point itself had no special characteristics.
The cloud platforms of Cloud Paradise at least visibly indicated they were platforms, whereas here, the clouds were undeformed, appearing indistinguishable from ordinary dark clouds. Фэн Юань didn’t believe that this place would start changing after the Ferris wheel stopped.
With the last small dark cloud cluster shattered, Dark Cloud Paradise was plunged into darkness. Lightning danced constantly among the clouds. However, at this moment, Veronia and the others noticed that the clouds near the Ferris wheel no longer showed any signs of lightning.
"Could it be..."
Veronia exchanged a knowing glance with Najia, seemingly having guessed something. Фэн Юань touched his chin; he seemed to understand what this semi-finished area was all about, or perhaps this truly was a place intended for their intermission?
The Ferris wheel gently rotated, and the cabin did not halt within the clouds, continuing to carry everyone toward the next space. In the cloud, the light gradually brightened. Initially, the group couldn’t distinguish whether it was clouds or mist, but whichever it was, clarity was slowly returning to the surroundings.
The dim sky, dense dark clouds, and a torrential downpour—this time, the group finally managed to discern the full view of the train station. Trains were continuously transporting travelers. In the heavy rain, they did not find the waiting lady. Within the station space, no mechanisms awaited them. The Ferris wheel proceeded unabatedly, once more taking them through another spatial transition.
The sun hung high, and the village seemed to regain vitality. The villagers they had never seen before were busy tending to their fields, and under the sun, the entire village was clearly visible. Yet, this time, they did not spot that peculiar graveyard in the village.
"It seems like it’s finally over. I thought we had several battles left, but it turned out to be a false alarm."
As the Ferris wheel continued to rotate, Veronia looked at Фэн Юань and said, as the space twisted again, they returned to the amusement park. When the cabin descended to its lowest point, the Ferris wheel suddenly jerked to a stop. Exiting the Ferris wheel and seeing it gradually being shrouded by black mist, Фэн Юань scratched his head and said,
"This thing... is really quite strange..."
