Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1178: Chapter 581: Gathering the Troops

“Ascend Demon or sacrifice, it doesn’t matter. Even if we humans lose, we must drag the enemy into the abyss with us!”

“Champion, please promise me. If that time comes, you must crush the Disaster Fog by any means necessary!”

Li Yelai gave Liu Bo a deep look.

This old senator was indeed more obsessed with madness than he had imagined!

The appearance of Li Yelai indeed allowed him to exploit, or rather freeload off Chaos, yet he still felt it wasn’t enough.

However, Li Yelai agreed with his idea, nodding slightly: “If humans are truly about to lose, neither the Disaster Fog nor the Horror Demons will survive!”

Holding the Lucky Wheel and the Chaos Holy Artifact in his hands, if he truly is beyond saving, then explode with the Disaster Fog!

Drag the enemy into Hell, let all Horror Demons be buried with humans!

Liu Bo continued, “Give us a few days, the power of the contract will cover the human army across this layer of space.”

“Compared to Spiritual Ability Strong People, our soldiers are more suitable for the Eternal Contract.”

“We will collect and preserve the corpses of the sacrificed warriors.”

Li Yelai slightly nodded, “I brought the Nether River Horn.”

Liu Bo’s expression subtly changed, nodding solemnly: “I understand. I will make the arrangements…”

As a high-ranking official of Ba Shu Mountain City, he naturally knew about this strategic-level Taboo Item.

The Eternal Contract can only turn targets into living corpses. But the Spiritual Power Strength will drop significantly. The soul well of the Spiritual Ability User, when turned into a living corpse, is not repaired, still in a broken state, with spiritual power less than thirty percent of when alive.

But it has no effect on soldiers who weren’t Spiritual Ability Users, and since being turned into living corpses, they lose the sense of pain, unlocking the body’s limits, their explosive power might even increase.

The Eternal Army Plan is to arm the living corpses with certain self-destructive weapons that living humans can’t use, to bloom in their final moments.

And now, the Nether River Horn brought by Li Yelai provides another means for humans.

The downside is, it only lasts for eight hours.

It can’t sustain combat like the Eternal Army.

But during those eight hours, the heroes of humanity will come back from the Netherworld, to fight once more for humankind with their peak prowess!

And Liu Bo felt complicated, not only the Champion led a team into the Disaster Fog, he even brought the Nether River Horn…

This made him feel both relieved and desolate, relieved that humans have another trump card within the Disaster Fog.

Desolate that if humans ultimately cannot suppress the Disaster Fog, this strategic-level Taboo Item might be lost.

“Champion, if I were outside the Disaster Fog, I would never have allowed you to enter it,” Liu Bo said.

“I heard the City Lord say similar words,” Li Yelai said, “even with the trump cards I brought.”

“I don’t deny your strength, nor the advantages you’ve brought us. But the City Lord is right, the Disaster Fog is too risky,” Liu Bo said, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of perishing together with Chaos.”

“The appearance of Ten Thousand Dragon Lake gathers various Human Prides here. And as they came to support our Mountain City, they were swallowed by the Disaster Fog. Though this gives us courage to face the Disaster Fog, strengthens the human combat power inside it, to humanity as a whole, it is a heavy blow!”

“Some Spiritual Ability Strong People say that if Ye Su, Ash, and other top Heavenly Prides were here, humanity might have gained a greater advantage. You might have heard…”

Li Yelai nodded silently. He had met several outsider Heavenly Prides, like Yan Shuang, like Wei Jie.

They had told Li Yelai about the strength of Ye Su, Ash, and others.

Among them, that Ye Su was of the same clan as the anthropomorphic thing Ye Han. They were all from the Kunlun Ye Family.

Ash… seems to have a curse, devouring life, which makes their own combat power much stronger. After all, it carries instant death…

If they had also entered the Disaster Fog, humanity’s situation would certainly be better.

They are all extremely strong Heavenly Prides, perhaps no less than a Champion.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, they were unable to reach Ten Thousand Dragon Lake in time before the war broke out.

Then, the war came, with one brief move stirring everything.

With the turmoil of Demon Abyss Mountain, other Forbidden Zones also started to riot. Giant City stood off against the Forbidden Zones.

Ye Su, Ash, and other strong ones had even less chance to come.

Li Yelai highly suspected this was related to the Book Holder.

That bastard perhaps calculated the impending appearance of Disaster Fog and through various arrangements, delayed the arrival of Ye Su and others.

So as to let Ye Su and others avoid the fate of entering the Disaster Fog.

This is what the Book Holder calls controlling destiny… excluding those top Heavenly Prides from this risk beforehand.

As for the rest, they are those abandoned by the Book Holder…

‘Ha! Scum! Sooner or later, I’ll chop you up!’ Li Yelai exhaled,

“But this thinking is wrong!”

“This Disaster Fog is too dangerous, our probability of defeat is very high! Already so many Human Prides are trapped in the Disaster Fog… If we fail, each Giant City will lose the geniuses they have meticulously nurtured, future Supremes and even Kings!”

“When the Forbidden Zone war began, I was not in despair. When the Disaster Fog arrived, I was not in despair. But when I learned that so many Human Prides were trapped in the Disaster Fog, I was truly in despair.”

“Your partner Doll may become an Emperor in the future, that assassin you trust might also become a King. And they are all trapped in the Disaster Fog…”

“The risks we are facing are already too great!”

“In this situation, how can we commit more Heavenly Prides? If we lose, we will have nothing left!”
