Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1100: Chapter 537: Multiple Methods (2)

If someone fears certain short-lived insects, although complete eradication can be troublesome due to their reproductive capabilities, they pose no danger to humans being devoured.

Even Spiritual Ability Users can eliminate them immediately by changing the weather or temperature upon their appearance.

Therefore, Disaster Fog No. 49 poses no threat.

However, the sudden event couldn’t save the millions already devoured. Their Horror Demons are likely already formed and may have begun fighting with humans within the disaster fog.

But as a support team, such methods can effectively alleviate the pressure of the disaster fog.

At least, when the support team enters the disaster fog, dangerous Horror Demons won’t emerge.

“Secondly, is the clash between Horror Demons. Perhaps letting people who fear certain traits enter the disaster fog,” Yun Yue continued.

This surprised Li Yelai: “You mean using Horror Demons against Horror Demons?”

“Quick thinking,” Chu He responded. “You should know, Horror Demons deeply loathe and hate intelligent beings, especially their creators. But they also fight among themselves. If conditions allow, you can cultivate conflict among the Horror Demons.”

“For example, a creature from the Forbidden Zone once exiled by a champion might see that champion as the Horror Demon. If the champion appears as a Horror Demon, though hostile to intelligent beings, it will attack you all. However, it will also likely eliminate other Horror Demons, allowing them to fight and consume themselves!”

“That’s indeed a strategy…” Jing Lin gasped. “If applied properly, humans can just watch Horror Demons fighting like dogs!”

Li Yelai also nodded. If chaotic units appear among Horror Demons, that might be even better; as a Divine Chosen, Li Yelai might order them to self-destruct.

Especially those Slaughter Insect Swarms, they are hostile to all organic matter. They might attack humans while attacking other Horror Demons.

“But if a powerful unit capable of integrating other Horror Demons emerges among them, suppressing the conflict, this strategy would become ineffective,” Yun Yue cautioned. “Pros and cons.”

Li Yelai nodded in understanding. Such a presence among the Horror Demons indeed spells disaster for humans.

However, these are points that can be leveraged.

“I have no authority over your decision, but if you insist, may you gain my master’s attention in the desperate resistance,” Yun Yue told Li Yelai. “If I manage in time, I’ll gather comrades to assist you.”

“Alright, thank you,” Li Yelai nodded.

“Now… let’s focus on other details first,” Chu He remarked. “Once you enter the disaster fog, communication with us will cease. Although using the Ark Storage Space remains available, external supplies cannot be conveyed.”

“Therefore, you need to prepare sufficient food and medicine. Horror Demons come in many forms, and if someone fears famine, it may materialize. The same goes for plagues and viruses. You need to be prepared in advance,” Li Yelai nodded. “I’ve considered this; entry into the disaster fog is one-way. But deploying food and medicine should still be possible; we just need to determine the delivery points.”

For this, Li Yelai requires the Taboo Items Tai Chi·Yin and Yang.

These two Taboo Items can bypass the disaster fog’s barriers, enabling a certain frequency of vibration to transmit vague information.

Li Yelai intends to use them as beacons for calling in bombings, air-dropping supplies, or… directly summoning the King’s long-range attacks!

The Sword Edge King can launch attacks from outside the disaster fog directed within.

“I see… but be cautious; perhaps Horror Demons could mimic the methods of Taboo Items.” Yun Yue warned. “When the number of Horror Demons is sufficient, anything could happen. After all, Spiritual Ability Users are well-versed and what they fear can be bizarre. You might even encounter the Prince of Chaos within the disaster fog.”

“Could a Chaos God appear?” Li Yelai pondered aloud.

If the Blood River and Father of Plague appear as Horror Demons, wouldn’t that be utterly despairing?

“It probably won’t. Chaos Gods, including my master, are too high-tier. If their Horror Demons truly materialize, their real selves will immediately perceive it and might even control the Horror Demon. The disaster fog wouldn’t dare conjure Horror Demons of them,” Yun Yue clarified.

“That’s good…” Li Yelai nodded.

Within half an hour, Jing Lin and the others devised various strategies and details for Li Yelai.

Subsequently, Jing Lin returned with a large number of Imitative Heavenly Soldiers and Forbidden Items.

At this time, the Molten Furnace Mine City’s Heavenly Soldier Furnace was running at full capacity.

Bringing Li Yelai twenty thousand Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, over sixty of whom were Divine Mimic Sky Soldiers.

“The Mine City’s resource reserves are abundant; it might reach a hundred thousand in a few days!” Jing Lin reminded. “Don’t rush; I know I can’t dissuade you, but I hope you attempt the raid once fully prepared.”

“I will,” Li Yelai nodded.

He then checked the Forbidden Items sent by the authorities.

From the Jile Sect, Chaos Holy Artifact, Prince Mask!

Level C Forbidden Item, Mobius Ring Map (Decapitation Use, exclusive Li Yelai version).

Class B Forbidden Item, Black Dragon Armor, fighting to death, unleashing intense combat power. Users inevitably distort.

Class B Forbidden Item, Shattering Star Spear, pulverizing everything after extended charge.

Class B Forbidden Item, Tai Chi·Yin and Yang, communication method with the external world.

Class B Forbidden Item, Mixed Element Banner, a defense type Taboo Item for spatial intervals. Prevents disaster fog from spreading or leaving, at the cost of extreme weather.

D-level Forbidden Item, Door God Sticker. Seems intended for shelters.

And… Mechanical God Core?

“Why is it this?” Li Yelai stared at the Mechanical God Core in surprise.

“This object might save you,” Jing Lin stated. “The top analysis possibly associates it with Changle Immortal Monarch. Evidence includes a series of peculiar incidents in the labs lately, really tormenting the researchers.”

“We can’t summon Titans like that fellow, but controlling a Mechanical Soul should be possible. Carry it; it might save you. At the very least, should technology-side creations appear within the Horror Demons—like Artificial People or Demon Engines—the Mechanical God Core could severely counter them.”

Li Yelai nodded and stowed all these Forbidden Items in his backpack.

Adding the Lucky Wheel, Dimension Slash Blade, and Reversal Mirror.

Li Yelai held eleven Forbidden Items on hand, hoping they’d be enough to turn the tide.

“Thank you all, I’ll be heading back.” Li Yelai said. “Mr. Chu River, contact me and Shan Cha once the formula is ready.”

“Alright, once the calculations conclude, I’ll find you.” Chu He nodded.

With that, Li Yelai took the supplies and returned to the Physical World.

“Sigh… truly an ordeal,” Chu He mused. “I’ve never faced such danger in the Lost Land.”

“Encountering two calamities in a row, now actively heading into another…” Jing Lin shook his head. “My brother here, truly has a hard fate.”

“Too far apart, can’t help him much. Had I known earlier, perhaps challenging the third-seat position in advance, gaining an extra privilege would’ve been beneficial.” Yun Yue lamented.

Then, the three gazed at the fourth screen.

Simultaneously thinking, ‘So that’s it, the champion in the painting is indeed him…’

…

Elsewhere, Li Yelai put his armor back on and left the room.

Meanwhile, he hid the Chaos Holy Artifact in the Reserve Space.

Trading the ultimate methods with Mr. Shadow… And before that…

Bai Ya and Yumian Dao haven’t reached out yet; likely already devoured by the disaster fog.

Including the Personal Guard Mask on him, there’ll be three Chaos Holy Artifacts within the disaster fog.

Three Chaos Holy Artifacts, plus Mad King’s Biomimetic Tear Drop…

Equivalent to four Supreme Level combat powers, is that sufficient?
