A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

229: Reality is changing dramatically, and strange things are beginning to emerge!”I have a bad feeling about this! Right after the [Nine Heavens] game update and maintenance, a massive change occurred in reality.”

”Commander Qin just called to tell us that the spatial nodes we resolved earlier have reappeared, and this time there isn’t just one, but many spatial node black holes!”

Jiang Yuebai’s expression was incredibly solemn. ”What’s worse is that this isn’t just happening here in Jiangzhou; it’s occurring all across Great Xia and even globally.”

”Before the satellite phone cut out, I heard the roars of terrifying beasts coming from the Military District Headquarters. I’m afraid something terrible has happened.”

Hearing this, Bai Tian also realized the gravity of the situation. He said decisively, ”Let’s go. We’re heading to the Military District Headquarters to take a look.”

Jiang Yuebai nodded in agreement and added, ”Not just go, but we need to be fast. Fly me there.”

When they stepped out of the house, the sight before them shocked both Bai Tian and Jiang Yuebai.

The night sky was a solid crimson with rolling blood clouds, occasionally churning out streaks of blood-colored lightning like a divine punishment.

Countless people walked out of their homes in terror, staring up at the sky with disbelief.

At this moment, the entire city was without power, and all signals were lost. Not a single cell phone call could be made, and the internet was down.

In every street and alley, on buses and roads, all modes of transport suddenly failed. Panic set in, and a sense of unease permeated the air.

In the sky, countless startled birds fell; in the water, large numbers of fish flopped incessantly; on the ground, many snakes, insects, rats, and ants crawled out.

Even pet dogs and cats barked and meowed restlessly, jumping up and down, no matter how their owners tried to soothe them.

Even the roadside vegetation, such as flowers, grass, and trees, showed abnormal seasonal phenomena, rapidly flowering and fruiting in a continuous cycle.

As Bai Tian flew through the air with Jiang Yuebai, sensing all the eerie changes in reality, both of their hearts tightened.

The real world was in complete chaos!

Because Bai Tian’s strength in the game had improved by leaps and bounds, his abilities in reality had risen accordingly.

Carrying Jiang Yuebai, he arrived outside the Military District Headquarters at five times his usual speed.

”Da da da...”

”Boom boom boom...”

At the Military District Headquarters, the sounds of gunfire and explosions echoed from afar as flames reached for the sky.

At this moment, the birds, beasts, insects, and vermin that usually lived in the forests seemed to have gone mad, rampaging everywhere and abnormally besieging the Military District Headquarters.

A tide of beasts surged forward, frantically attacking the headquarters, biting at fortifications, and destroying military equipment.

Faced with this sudden upheaval, the soldiers at the headquarters reacted quickly, suppressing the threat with full firepower.

When Bai Tian and Jiang Yuebai arrived, they were shocked to find that the beast tide had already overrun half the military district. Bodies littered the ground, and the battle was extremely brutal.

”Save the people first!”

Jiang Yuebai’s expression turned anxious. She broke free from Bai Tian’s hand, quickly summoned her in-game equipment, and descended from the sky to charge into the beast tide.

Bai Tian charged into the battlefield like a cannonball, sending hundreds of beasts flying to clear a space and saving several soldiers who were in mortal danger.

However, the beast tide was massive. No sooner had a space been cleared than it was immediately filled by countless beasts from behind, swarming toward Bai Tian.

Bai Tian lightly raised his left foot and stomped. A powerful surge of mental energy erupted instantly, spreading out like a storm.

—”Boom!”

The powerful mental storm indiscriminately crushed the entire beast tide within a hundred meters of Bai Tian.

Bai Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that with his mental power growing so rapidly, he was now capable of exerting extraordinary combat strength.

Suddenly, a sharp screech rang out in mid-air; Bai Tian’s mental attack had startled a terrifying creature within the beast tide.

A violent wind rose as a massive predatory bird took flight. Its wings were larger than a car, and its claws were as sharp as metal as it dived straight for Bai Tian.

”Inspector Bai, be careful! That raptor’s claws can even tear through tanks!”

A soldier holding a rocket launcher shouted a warning, simultaneously firing a rocket at the mutated giant bird.

However, the raptor easily dodged the rocket’s attack and lunged its talons toward Bai Tian’s head.

Bai Tian was amazed that such a gargantuan raptor existed in reality. He quickly reached out with his left hand and grabbed its claw.

The raptor let out a terrified screech as Bai Tian swung it in a full 360-degree circle before slamming it violently onto the ground.

The ground instantly exploded, forming a hole half a meter wide and deep.

A mass of black feathers and blood gushed from the raptor’s body, creating a thrilling scene.

With a burst of strength, Bai Tian effortlessly snapped the raptor’s razor-sharp claw. He broke it into two pieces and, like two sharp blades, drove them into the raptor’s left and right wings, pinning it firmly to the ground.

—”Skree!”

The raptor let out a cry of agony, completely subdued by Bai Tian.

The surrounding soldiers witnessed this scene, and every one of them looked on with eyes full of immense admiration.

Before Bai Tian arrived, this terrifying raptor had already destroyed several tanks and caused heavy casualties.

Now, it was finally subdued.

This raptor seemed to be the leader of this abnormal beast tide.

After it was captured alive by Bai Tian, the countless beasts immediately ceased their frenzied attack, letting out low whimpers as they began to retreat.

Suddenly, a deep and strange cry rang out from within the beast tide, sounding like a bugle call, and the beasts immediately began to withdraw.

”Bai Tian, I’m afraid there’s a mutated beast leader within this tide.”

Jiang Yuebai rushed over, covered in blood. She had just killed a large number of beasts, and her clothes were stained with multi-colored blood.

Bai Tian understood what she meant and nodded. ”Don’t worry, I’ll go and flush it out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Tian stomped on the ground and leaped tens of meters into the air as if flying, stunning all the soldiers around him.

Bai Tian flew toward the direction the beast tide was retreating, following them from high above in the distance.

However, the number of creatures gathered in the beast tide was simply too large, making it difficult to locate the leader’s position for a moment.

Half an hour later, the tens of thousands of beasts retreated into a canyon.

In the center of the canyon, an exceptionally large and strange wild grapevine was coiled around an old tree.

Although the grapes on the vine were few, only about five clusters, each grape was the size of a fist and had a vibrant reddish exterior. A single cluster weighed over ten catties.

Bai Tian was greatly surprised when he saw this.

Had even the fruit in reality mutated?

While he was still surprised, a low animal roar suddenly rang out.

The beast tide immediately parted, and a giant centipede—as thick as a thigh, over three meters long, and jet-black and shiny—slithered out.

It seemed this giant centipede was the leader of the beast tide.

It had been hidden within the beast tide previously, and because it was entirely black, Bai Tian hadn’t noticed its presence until now.

The giant centipede crawled quickly toward the grapevine, seemingly salivating over the mutated grapes.

This was the real world!

A mutated raptor was surprising enough, but to think even a centipede could grow this large—it was practically becoming a demon!

After his initial surprise, Bai Tian immediately sprang into action, flying over as fast as lightning.

The large centipede, which was about to enjoy the mutated grapes, sensed danger and tried to flee back into the beast tide.

But unfortunately, it was already too late!

Bai Tian rapidly approached the large centipede. With a flick of his mental will, it was as if an invisible giant hand had firmly seized it, pinning it to the spot.

The large centipede struggled violently, screeching incessantly and spraying a large amount of toxic liquid into the air.

The surrounding beast tide immediately rioted, swarming toward Bai Tian in an attempt to save their leader.

But since he had already captured the beast leader, Bai Tian didn’t want to kill any more ordinary beasts.

Using his mental will, he easily plucked the five clusters of giant mutated grapes.

Then, guided by his mental power, he controlled the large centipede and made it fly into the sky.

Some birds tried to chase after him, but Bai Tian threw a punch through the air, creating a sonic boom that instantly turned hundreds of birds into a mist of blood.

Seeing this, the beast tide was too terrified to continue the pursuit.

After a while, Bai Tian flew back to the Military District Headquarters with the large centipede and the five clusters of mutated grapes.

But just as he arrived...
