Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1092: Chapter 534: The Fall of the Giant City

Demon Abyss Mountain, a city already occupied by Chaos. It is filled with bloodlust and stench.

Countless Resisters’ heads have been piled into a Corpse Pile. On plants and buildings, a large amount of flesh has grown, spewing stench and virus.

The evil marks of Chaos are engraved everywhere, and a large number of residents have been corrupted.

And in one of the still clean rooms.

“Lost contact?” Bai Ya looked curiously at the Plague Knight in front of him.

“That’s right, the vanguard of over a thousand fanatic Believers was supposed to launch a tentative attack on the Third Fortress, but there was no response at all, and we lost all contact with them.” The Plague Knight responded, the stench emanating from its body causing Bai Ya to frown.

Forcing himself to ignore that stench, Bai Ya asked, “Did they encounter resistance?”

“No, hundreds of Plague Knights among them include Elite Knights, and they should be able to at least send a message. Besides, we didn’t sense any combat fluctuations either.” The Plague Knight replied.

“Could it be some kind of Taboo Item…” Bai Ya pondered. Indeed, there are some Taboo Items related to space that can isolate targets from the Physical World. But using it on a vanguard seems a bit over the top.

“The main Legion from the Forbidden Zone hasn’t returned yet?” Bai Ya asked again.

“Yes, all the resistance we encountered was led by the Lords of the Forbidden Zone with their private armies. The proportion of Spiritual Ability Users isn’t high…” The Plague Knight shook its head.

Whether it’s Bloodsuckers or Plague Knights, they are specialized Chaos Species.

All are Spiritual Ability Units, the weakest being at the Four Awakenings level, and the elites are at the Fifth Sense Strength.

Bloodsuckers are extremely powerful in close combat, with high damage reduction capabilities, allowing them to reach the enemy amidst the artillery fire.

Plague Knights are not weak in close combat, with considerable defensive power. The real danger lies in the terrifying virus they carry; once a wound appears, the target’s body will quickly collapse, turning into a new living corpse or a hotbed for the virus.

Facing such elite legions, the Forbidden Zone Lords’ private armies are insignificant. There might be some Spiritual Ability Users among them, but their numbers are few and their strength varies significantly, with the vast majority composed of Servant Armies of Forbidden Zone Humans. Even though they are armed with Forbidden Zone technology, for regular armies, they are indeed troublesome.

But to Chaos Elite Legions, they’re just like a pitiful threat that can be wiped out with a single Charge.

The only ones that can face an entire Legion of Spiritual Ability Units are the equally elite main Forces of the Forbidden Zone!

Or, sending even stronger ones to slaughter the entire Legion directly!

The former, the Forbidden Zone hasn’t chosen, still locked in struggle with the Humans. The latter, the Forbidden Zone still hasn’t chosen, probably apprehensive of the Chaos Holy Artifacts.

This is also why Bai Ya and Yu Mian are puzzled, their plan was to have the Forbidden Zone split its forces, thereby easing the pressure on the Giant City, allowing Lord Di Yun to lead the Human Army to attack the Forbidden Zone. A pincer movement from two points.

Lord Di Yun would gain prestige and a higher status among Humans.

Chaos could plunder a large number of Believers, population, and resources. It’s a win-win situation.

But the Forbidden Zone just won’t take the bait.

“What the hell is going on with Demon Abyss Mountain? Forcibly attacking the flourishing Ba Shu Mountain City? And then ignoring our rampage within its territory?” Bai Ya pondered, “Could it be related to those beasts from the Deceit Faction?”

“Very likely!” The Eternal Life Faction’s officer nodded solemnly: “Those bastards love playing these underhanded tricks!”

Eighty percent of all the conspiracies in this world are due to Deceit believers.

Therefore, Deceit believers are also called dung buckets because anything can be blamed on them.

Even within the Chaos Faction, cursing the Deceit Faction is considered a correct belief.

Even the Divine Chosen believe that the Chaos Five Gods of Supreme Heaven are probably cursing Deceit Dao too.

Even the Master of Green Flames, who is at odds with the ancient Four Gods, feels the same.

After all, deep in the far-off Void Realm, turmoil within Chaos is erupting.

And the arrows of green flame have crossed the Star Sea multiple times, piercing through Deceit Dao’s Divines.

Their hate level even surpasses that of the Blood God!

Once discovering Deceit Dao’s Divines, they will ignore the War Gods under Blood River’s command standing right before them, choosing instead to draw the Great Bow and shoot down Deceit Dao’s Divines millions of lightyears away.

Such is the detestable existence of the Deceit Dao!

“More investigation is needed to see if the local Believers of Demon Abyss Mountain have sufficient intelligence.” Bai Ya stated.

However, the next moment, the expressions of her and the Plague Knight changed slightly, for a Blood God Dark Raven appeared outside their room window.

That is a means of communication within Chaos. This Dark Raven possesses a secret ability similar to the Netherworld Path Spiritual Ability Users, capable of quickly traversing the shadow lands to teleport information.

The Plague Knight immediately stepped forward to open the window, carefully retrieving a letter from the Blood-colored Dark Raven’s leg, and handed it to Bai Ya.

Bai Ya unlocked the letter with a code, quickly scanning it and her expression turned slightly grim.

“Lord Demon General, is it the response from the vanguard?” The Plague Knight asked.

“No.” Bai Ya’s expression grew solemn: “It’s a message from Yu Mian. The vanguard he dispatched has also gone missing. They too suddenly lost contact near a fortress close to the Dark Abyss.”

“Dark Abyss… indeed there’s an issue.”

“Moreover… Demon Abyss Mountain seems to be activating Peak Spear Mountain!”

Peak Spear Mountain, a deformed peak at the core region of Demon Abyss Mountain in the Forbidden Zone. Its shape resembles a war spear.

In fact, it is indeed considered a war spear.

In the early days of the Calamity’s descent, before the Forbidden Zone had even formed, back when it was still in the form of the Disaster Fog, a human mighty warrior trapped inside fought against the Catastrophe Fog Master.
