Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 253: Chapter 119 One Battle Decides Victory!

Li Yelai’s ”You Must Meet Strong Enemies” curse was dangerous, but it still had range limitations. Even a series of ”accidents” that constituted his Calamity couldn’t directly draw the King of Restricted Zone over a vast distance.

Only within a certain range could various ”coincidences” bring formidable enemies before Li Yelai.

But the influence range of the Mobius Ring Map was huge!

As long as Li Yelai was in the disordered space of the Mobius Ring Map, it would bring the most dangerous areas right to him!

And the most dangerous area in the Underground Maze was where the Catastrophe Fog Master and the Flesh Barrier were.

This was equivalent to using the Mobius Ring to strengthen the range of Li Yelai’s Calamity.

If Li Yelai ventured into the Mobius Ring Map alone to activate the ”You Must Meet Strong Enemies”, he would have virtually no chance of survival.

This was Calamity.

But this is exactly what the officials, even humanity itself, needed!

”Praise Calamity!” a captain exclaimed, ”As long as the Night General is unfortunate enough, Calamity will bring us directly to the Flesh Barrier!”

”In doing so, as long as we deploy enough combat power and Legion around the Night General, we wouldn’t have to waste a massive living force traversing the Underground Maze and can confront the Flesh Barrier and the Swarm Dominator directly!” an excited staff officer spoke up, ”Without being worn down by the Insect Swarm and the maze, our casualties will be greatly reduced!”

”Then, when we are still at our peak, as long as we strive to hold out until the Shattering Star Spear pierces through the Flesh Barrier, we will be able to pinpoint the exact location of the Catastrophe Fog Master for the Old Mad King!”

”We’ll all be at our peak, are we still afraid of a single Insect Master? Let’s surround and kick it!”

”That’s right, let that one Insect serve a group of Humans! Beat it to death! We might not even need the Old Mad King to take action!”

”Quick! Calculate the most suitable position to lose control of the Mobius Ring Map! Ensure it definitely covers the deep layers of the maze!”

Upon confirming this news, the official captain and various staff officers immediately began to evaluate the feasibility of this plan. They calculated the extreme limits of the Mobius Ring Map’s influence.

This too was a risky action!

The Mobius Ring’s maze and Li Yelai’s Calamity were both indispensable.

One could even say that the most core element was Li Yelai’s Calamity.

To actually place humanity’s last hope on one man’s luck? To the outside world, this was utterly scandalous and would absolutely not be agreed upon.

Keep in mind that if the plan failed, the main human force that was also lost in the Mobius Ring Map’s maze would be utterly doomed. They would be consumed and overwhelmed by an endless swarm of Insects in that chaotic space.

By then, humanity would truly be entirely without hope.

That endless despair would crush humanity’s last courage like an iron curtain.

It would be the ultimate gamble!

All wagering on Li Yelai being unlucky enough, with a Calamity strong enough!

But at this moment, no one doubted Li Yelai’s Calamity.

Because his Calamity was really strong...

Ever since Li Yelai had become a Spiritual Ability User, the events he encountered all proved his Calamity. This gave everyone confidence in him. They believed he was certainly unlucky enough.

Sword Madman watched Li Yelai for a long time, finally nodding and saying, ”Then we are counting on you, Night General!”

”I’ll do everything I can!” Li Yelai nodded, his face as resolute as steel.

He had the utmost confidence in his own Calamity!

Ultimately, the Spiritual Energy Phased Array plan was abandoned, changing to the Maze Corner Plan instead, hoping to encounter the Insect Master around the corner...

The meeting then concluded.

Sword Madman looked at Li Yelai and said, ”Rest well for now, wait for the plan to be perfected. That will be the day we launch the total assault. Be careful during this time, and do not venture out of the shelter... Your safety is vital to the success of the plan.”

Li Yelai nodded; he naturally understood the importance.

If something happened to him, causing the plan to fail, he would be forever disgraced.

The Doll then raised a sign at this moment: [I will definitely protect him! ψ(*｀ー´)ψ]

Sword Madman was startled, then nodded with a smile, ”Thank you. Stay by the Night General’s side until the mission begins.”

[Yes! ᕦ(･ㅂ･)ᕤ]

Although the Doll was considered a Fifth Sense, it was regarded as a Captain Level fighter, and with its protection, Li Yelai’s safety was indeed assured.

This was the importance placed on Li Yelai.

In the following time, the officials needed to call together the Legion, assign combat forces from various shelters, and even transport Taboo Items.

As for the specific details of the plan, the officials probably wouldn’t tell the other Processors and the Human Army; otherwise, letting them know that they were staking their lives on Li Yelai’s luck would probably have the opposite effect.

During this time, Li Yelai could recuperate and recover from the injury to his arm, trying to be in peak condition for the mission.

His arm wound hadn’t fully healed. He had joined the fight immediately upon drawing out the Forbidden Army Insect, causing the wound to hurt even more.

It was so painful that it was keeping him awake at night.

Seeing Li Yelai looking somewhat pained, Doll hurried to the medical area to fetch many painkillers. But the effect wasn’t significant; Li Yelai’s constitution had already become immune to the effects of many drugs.

Fortunately, Cheese returned to the shelter.

He found Li Yelai immediately and used his ability to block out the pain sensation once again, at least allowing him to get a good night’s sleep.

Li Yelai clenched his fist and responded, ”My injury should also be almost healed.”

Cheese, meanwhile, glanced at the Doll beside him and asked, ”What’s going on here... Having a date behind my back, huh? Add me in too!”
