Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1123: Chapter 548: Chaos Forces

It was confirmed that some Horror Demons can be consumed.

However, they clearly stated that green-skinned Orcs shouldn’t be eaten. Those who tried it are still suffering, life or death unknown.

As for the Insect Race, because they self-evolve, they eventually become inedible toxic substances. They cannot be included on the food list. Of course, if there’s a way to remove their toxins, Spiritual Ability Users above Four Awakenings might manage to eat some.

But the number of Horror Demons is substantial, so there’s no need to worry too much in a short time. Many civilians’ fears stem from some commonplace beasts, or perhaps some Extraordinary Creatures. It has indeed expanded the food list.

But the troubling issue is the emergence of the plague.

It might be the ability of a Horror Demon, or perhaps a conspiracy by the Eternal Life Church.

The plague has spread in many shelters and even within branches.

While not deadly, it weakens the patients, causing a significant drop in immunity.

Though it doesn’t affect Spiritual Ability Users, it does reduce the combat power of the Human Army.

Each shelter had to build isolation layers and consumed a considerable amount of medicine.

However, Li Yelai confirms this should not be the action of the Eternal Life Faction; they should already be aware of the arrival of the Champion, or rather, the Divine Chosen.

Not to the extent of troubling the Divine Chosen.

This should be the plot of the Horror Demons. As long as hunger and plague continue to besiege humans, the Horror Demons can win without a fight.

Especially when the opponent has Insect Swarms and green skins, such as experts in rapid troop deployment.

The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is for humans.

Hence, human divination masters once again started a cycle of Spiritual Energy divination and dispatched numerous Imitative Heavenly Soldiers to the ruins to hunt corresponding Horror Demons.

At the same time, investigations targeting the Insect Master have begun. A large number of Imitative Heavenly Soldiers entered the underground Net Road dug by the Insect Swarm, hunting the Swarm while investigating whether the Insect Master resides in this space.

Such Horror Demons as the Insect Master must be beheaded quickly. Otherwise, their numbers will only increase.

Of course, today’s humans are similarly equipped; the existence of the Heavenly Soldier Furnace has introduced adversaries to the Insect Swarm.

Previously, wherever the Swarm spread, forget about corpses, they would scrape off layers of earth.

Therefore, Human Warriors will strive to retrieve corpses, burning those they can’t take away directly. Leaving no biomass for the Swarm. As for the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, they’re visibly increasing.

More than fifty Spiritual Ability Users are continuously crafting by the Heavenly Soldier Furnace, injecting Spiritual Energy to activate the soldiers.

In this particular layer of space, humans still have quite a few advantages, but there are still many issues.

The coordinated Horror Demons are exceedingly dangerous.

What’s more, Illusion Change, the Deceit Chosen One, is operating within the Disaster Fog.

Until now, Li Yelai still doesn’t know whether Illusion Change has mixed into the branch.

After consulting with the City Lord, he can only strive to identify; there is no other way.

Currently, Li Yelai cannot contact Doll, nor ascertain the situation in the other two spatial layers.

He can only try to craft more Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, strengthening the combat power of all shelters within this space and consolidating forces to prepare to strike a ‘point.’ Capturing a ‘point’ to establish communication with the other layer of space.

At least, to know Doll’s injury and condition.

Li Yelai is very concerned about Doll’s situation; her talent is too potent and she fights within the Disaster Fog.

She might ascend as an Overlord, with the personality hidden deep in her consciousness potentially growing stronger.

Besides, Li Yelai understands what Doll fears.

Will this Disaster Fog shape the Fear Empress?

Damn Forbidden Zone, damn Disaster Fog… I will definitely eradicate you!

In the room, Li Yelai fiddles with the Demon Sword before him.

He throws it into Reserve Space. Suppressing the worry in his heart and the increasingly fierce desire to kill.

Yes, the Demon Sword.

The quality of this Demon Sword is high, a decent weapon if its Chaos Corruption is disregarded, able to release quite powerful slashes to some extent.

And Li Yelai, as the Chaos Chosen, the true Blood God’s Blade, can exert its stronger power.

Of course, Chaos Corruption still needs caution; Li Yelai is naturally fearless with the Blood God Chosen Face revealed, but in front of humans, it’s not good for him to use this face.

Thus, Li Yelai kept it as one of the means.

Li Yelai pondered, then looked at Little Mad King: “Back?”

Little Mad King nodded slightly; she investigated secretly within this spatial layer, discovering the presence of Chaotic Forces. Among those Chaos believers, there are quite a few humans and Forbidden Zone humans, even some Forbidden Zone Creatures. The number is considerable; just what Little Mad King discovered amounts to tens of thousands.

These believers should be the fanatic believers brought into the Forbidden Zone by Bai Ya and populations corrupted internally within the Forbidden Zone.

They’ve organized into a significant force, occupying a considerable territory.

Little Mad King worries that among them, some Chaos believers might have infiltrated into various shelters, spreading Chaos faith under such circumstances.

However, the Master of Green Flames’ believers have also emerged in this war.

Some official and family Spiritual Ability Users, even a Human Pride, received a glance from the Fifth God amid despair.

The green flame flickers in the night sky, seemingly bringing the hope of dawn. Yet most people perished in war.

The rest were alert and regulated by the Ba Shu Mountain City side.

After all, Ba Shu Mountain City maintains a reserved attitude towards the Master of Green Flames and their believers.

Fortunately, the presence of No.3 Border City’s strong figures improved the situation significantly.

Master of Green Flames… Flames that illuminate despair, perhaps allowing more people to ignite the green flame is a viable solution.

This caused Li Yelai to ponder for a long while, confirming no outsiders nearby, then said: “Chaos should now know that their Chosen One is in the South City Branch; if permitted, they might attempt to contact me.”

Little Mad King replied: “But viewing from another angle, if they consider Disaster Fog as a perfect hidden space that won’t expose your Divine Chosen identity, they may also attempt to corrupt all humans here to counter Disaster Fog.”

“Hmm, this detail requires connecting with Bai Ya after which interventions can be made.” Li Yelai inexplicably thought of the Eternal Army and the Defeated project.

If corruption becomes inevitable, perhaps… sign a pact with Li Yelai, the Chosen One.

At least, not having the mind and body distorted in life.

Then… should I confess to the City Lord of Ba Shu Mountain City? Will he choose to trust me? Trusting a Champion that disclosed their Divine Chosen identity?

Once again, Li Yelai fell into contemplation.

Meanwhile, Little Mad King also examined the situation at the ‘point’; Forbidden Zone Creatures have completely seized the point, fortifying defenses and arrays. Even for Little Mad King, it’s not easy to infiltrate.

Horror Demons haven’t acted against Forbidden Zone Creatures.

At least, a force has forcibly suppressed most Horror Demons, preventing full-scale war with Forbidden Zone Creatures.

Forbidden Zone Creatures, Chaotic Forces, Horror Demons, Humans… four factions each standing against the others, things have indeed grown chaotic.

A method needs to be found to consolidate Chaotic Forces; even if not allied, they should be directed as cannon fodder ahead on the battlefield.

Eliminate smaller Forbidden Zone factions, then consolidate all power to counter the Disaster Fog’s Horror Demons.
