Chapter 1910 - 1909: Reinforcements

New Netherworld

Above the rippling sea of flowers, an inverted city, dense fog covering almost the entire firmament.

And at the very center of the sea of flowers, amidst a cloud of mist, the figure seated on the throne trembled slowly.

Beams of light suddenly lit up within the mist, intertwining with each other, forming a kaleidoscope of illusions.

As the figure on the throne trembled, the brilliance within the mist also surged out with even more dazzling light, intensely interweaving.

The most prominent color sketched within the mist was the purple light, it gleamed with dazzling brilliance, and in an instant, it was about to wrap around the throne within the mist.

But at that moment, the figure on the throne opened his eyes.

He raised his head, gazing at the encroaching purple light, streams of radiant brilliance suddenly surged from the depths of his body, full of formidable power, blocking the purple light.

The entire world shook as dense root systems emerged beneath the towering throne, piercing into the heavy earth, embedding deep into the core of the world.

Endless power was drawn from this world, enchased upon the throne, and upon the figure seated on the throne.

The figure, as massive as mountains, sitting on the throne, opened his eyes at this moment.

The purple light surged in an instant, transforming into countless flowing smoke, diffused light points, rushing towards the figure on the throne.

In an instant, it was about to envelop the figure on the throne.

But the figure merely opened his eyes, gazing at these smokes, the surging purple radiance lighting up in his profound pupils.

Endless power drew out from the root systems beneath the throne, enchased upon the throne, and upon the figure seated on the throne.

Intricate runes sketched upon the figure’s body, quickly forming a silent shield, blocking in front of the light mist.

The purple light mist collided with the shield, without making any sound, only pieces of dark void continuously flickering.

Every light point hitting the shield dimmed it a bit, but quickly, endless power would be drawn from the root systems beneath the throne, restoring the shield’s brilliance.

He Ao sat on the throne, quietly gazing at the shield ahead.

He was now utilizing the entire New Netherworld’s power to resist the interference Grim Reaper attempted to project.

If it were just when he took over New Netherworld, he definitely couldn’t achieve this level.

Even though New Netherworld possessed surging power, he couldn’t truly extract it.

But with the experience of ’creation’ in the Main World, his understanding and perception of world rules have completely changed.

Moreover, with the support of Martial Arts ’Unity with Dao’ realm, he could summon world forces more effortlessly, able to unleash all the latent power of this world.

Of course, the latent power in New Netherworld is mainly left by Grim Reaper, only mutated when transforming into a world.

Thus He Ao is essentially using Grim Reaper’s power against Grim Reaper now.

And as He Ao’s resistance continued, the purple light mist grew increasingly surging.

At this point, He Ao raised his head, looked at the surrounding fog.

In fact, from his ’awakening’, extracting power and resisting purple light mist, all these things seemingly happening, in time, only in an instant.

Throughout the process, he was besides resisting the light mist, calmly waiting, until now he made a move.

As he raised his head, the grey brightness in the mist flickered suddenly.

Source of power of the purple light mist was instantly severed, the brilliance dimming.

Next, some terrifying force erupted from the depths of this world, rushing skyward.

Direction where the force was rushing, precisely the direction He Ao was looking, that direction wasn’t within the kaleidoscope scene in the sky, but in amidst a faint orange brilliance.

Within a silent city.

Eternal Divine Nation.

——

Wint City

"What happened?" Lena raised her head, looking at the silent neighborhood around, "Were we ’thrown’ out?"

"Seems like some sort of terrifying event is happening inside." Vili raised her head, looking toward the sky.

Just then, a blood-colored butterfly flew out from the sky, transformed into a little girl in a red dress landing beside them.

"Alice?" Vili looked in surprise at the suddenly appearing little girl in a red dress, "Why did you come out? Where’s Yiluo?"

The little girl in a red dress shook her head, then slightly raised her hand, pointed forward, then reached out, grabbing Vili and Lena’s hand.

The two didn’t react for a moment, were directly pulled by the little girl in the red dress, flying skyward.

"What’s going on?" Vili didn’t quite react for a moment.

"Did Yiluo send you to take us away from here?" Lena’s body swept across the entire sky, she vaguely reacted a bit.

Alice nodded slightly.

Boom——

At this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from behind them.

As if thunder ripping the sky, or the earth being torn from its depths.

Lena instinctively turned around, looking behind, but only saw the stretch of empty streets.

Entire neighborhood seemed unchanged as if that previous rumbling sound never existed from the start.

But Lena still noticed something different, on some rooftops of the empty city blocks, seemed to appear some vague ’smoke’.

Soon, that ’smoke’ expanded rapidly, Lena suddenly realized, it wasn’t smoke, but dust.

Dust from transformed skyscrapers.

Those towering structures, as if blown away like dust, rapidly turned to sand, transformed into particles floating in the air.

The silent neighborhood virtually disappeared in an instant, transformed into pervasive dust.

And among that dust, faintly some purple brilliance was trying to leap out.

"Where’s Yiluo? Is he still inside?" Vili on the other side did not turn back, but continued following Lena’s words, quickly asked.

Facing this question, the little girl in a red dress just shook her head, then pulled Lena, signaling her not to look back.

"We must go back to save him." Vili raised her head, looking at Lena, then at Alice.

"Calm down," Lena looked at her and quickly said, "By staying outside, we’re giving Yiluo the greatest help. The gap in our strength is too large. Forcing our way into the battle would affect his actions. Yiluo let Alice come to rescue you, not to send you back to die. Being alive outside is more important than dying inside."

Vili gazed at Lena, silent for a moment. "Wint City is gone."

"Wint City is still here," Lena took a deep breath and quickly said, "Only the city gates are breached, the City Defense Army is still resisting, United Industries is also resisting, and the people are still here. The citizens in the streets are taking in injured soldiers who have nothing to do with them. Our enemies are just slightly stronger. We’ve never lost Wint City, as long as the citizens of Wint City still recognize us, there’s still hope."

Vili raised her head and looked at Lena.

"Yiluo even sent Alice to rescue you," Lena continued, "proving that he thinks you’re important. Pull yourself together! Vili! Failure isn’t scary! Just think about how Yiluo was thrown into the sea, but he still climbed out of Storm Sea!"

Vili gazed at Lena, after a brief silence, she lowered her head and looked at Alice, "Alice, can we choose a not too close and not too far place to descend? The target in the sky is quite large."

Saying this, she raised her head and glanced at the sky, "It seems most of the undead in that city have already disappeared."

"It should be because of the recent ’Sacrifice’, those undead were eaten by the Demon." Lena said thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Alice had already pulled the bodies of the two, descending into a narrow alleyway.

Bang——

At this moment, the rumbling sound exploded again behind the two.

Vili instinctively looked behind her, above the empty street block that had completely vanished, a mist seemed to be rising with a purple glow.

But at the instant the mist rose, a brilliant gray glow pierced through the entire fog, piercing into its depths and disappearing into the void.

At that moment, she felt a pair of small hands blocking her eyes.

Whoosh——

A certain fierce wind blew past her soul, and an inexplicable fear spread over her body. In an instant, she lost all her field of view, and only blood flowed from her eye sockets.

She had a feeling that if she lost the small hand blocking her view, her entire soul would be torn apart by the fierce wind.

The scene in the sky, just some things leaking from the Eternal Divine Nation, was enough to shred her soul.

She withdrew her gaze, the blood-red obstructed vision recovered somewhat.

She turned her gaze to Lena, "What exactly is Yiluo experiencing?"

Lena watched Vili, having just restrained her impulse not to look back, she gently shook her head, "I don’t know either, but we can’t cause him trouble."

"Mm." Vili lightly nodded, "We should do what we need to do."

Mmm——

At this moment, a humming sound emerged from her body.

She fumbled in her pocket and pulled out a remote walkie-talkie with only the body left and a broken screen.

Vili fumbled a few more times on the broken screen before she pressed the correct button and established communication.

"Mayor Vili, we finally reached you," an excited voice immediately came from the walkie-talkie, "Reinforcements from Rock City have arrived, and we’ve already welcomed them into the city."

Vili was slightly stunned, raising her head to look at Lena.

Bang——

At that moment, a violent rumbling sound streaked across the sky.

Vili lifted her head and saw a massive mecha streak across the firmament, trailing thick smoke and bearing a snow-white coating completely different from the Rockville Energy Group Mercenary Corps.

——

Vissen

He Ao lowered his gaze, watching the eyes within the mist.

At this moment, that eye, along with the surrounding mist, was flickering violently, faint gray glows intermittently twinkling within the fog.

The power of Grim Reaper’s descent was undergoing some intense impact.

Good friend did not choose to attack Grim Reaper from Vissen’s side but instead cut in from the direction of Eternal Divine Nation.

The reason is simple, Eternal Divine Nation is directly embedded with the New Netherworld, channeling power through the Eternal Divine Nation from the New Netherworld is easier and allows for greater projected power.

Of course, Grim Reaper also knows good friend definitely has power prepared in the New Netherworld, and as long as he starts the erosion of the New Netherworld, he’ll surely be ambushed by good friend.

But he can’t abandon the New Netherworld because of this, even knowing good friend waits here, he still has to attempt to control the New Netherworld.

Moreover, he hasn’t left himself unprepared; he’s hidden far more power in the New Netherworld than what appears, waiting for the moment He Ao ’wakes up’ to surprise, and control He Ao directly, thereby gaining control over the New Netherworld.

He didn’t expect He Ao’s understanding of the world had deepened so much, already able to use New Netherworld’s power to resist his erosion, causing his plan to fail.

Of course, good friend actually would also cause his plan to fail.

But if He Ao can’t resist Grim Reaper’s erosion, good friend wouldn’t help but instead waits for an opportunity, trying to first seize control of He Ao, directly taking control of the New Netherworld, and use this as a springboard to ambush Grim Reaper.

So during the just prior moment when He Ao resisted Grim Reaper’s erosion, good friend didn’t assist.

Only making it through this wave makes He Ao have the value of ’cooperation,’ if such a level can’t be achieved, then He Ao is just a burden, it’s better to directly dispose of He Ao, taking He Ao’s bargaining chips into one’s own hands.

However, He Ao is already accustomed, engaging with Divine Beings is like this, these Old Geezers are all cunning and deceitful, a mistake and it’s a spiral into disaster.

And at this time, Sulan seemed to also notice the change in the eyes within the mist overhead.

He wriggled his body, looking toward He Ao, his entire body shaking violently, suddenly opening his mouth and loudly asking, "What on earth are you doing?! You know Divine Being’s power is unchallengeable, don’t you?"

The moment he said this, he was slightly stunned, immediately shifting his gaze to the eyes within the mist above.

Because he was ’too noisy’ just now, actually ’muted’ by Grim Reaper, yet at this moment, he could freely speak again.

This wasn’t because Grim Reaper had lifted the constraints on his body, but rather Grim Reaper’s power was rapidly disappearing.

And when he raised his head, gazing into the mist, he only saw the mist surging violently. The gray glow, originally flickering intermittently within the mist, was now increasing at a speed visible to the meat eyes.

Then accompanied by a soundless and subtle sound at the foundation of the world, the gray glow within the mist gathered, forming into a gray-white eye.

That gray-white eye lowered its gaze, looking at the eyes within the mist. At that moment, the scattered mist surged intensely, enveloping both eyes completely.

Good friend’s power cutting in from the direction of Eternal Divine Nation at the moment was following the link between Grim Reaper and this side, spreading the power into Vissen’s area.

Moreover, He Ao could clearly feel that in the mist, representing the Netherworld above his head, there was also some faint gray glows flickering.

When good friend needs to be reliable, he’s still reliable.

He Ao lowered his gaze, looking at the mist atop Sulan’s head where purple glows flickered.

But is this the extent of Grim Reaper’s tricks?
