Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 267: Chapter 124: Suppressing the Disaster Fog

The light of the Lighting Bomb gradually extinguished, and darkness once again enveloped the tunnel.

In the darkness, the Insect Swarm maintained its silence.

Only the voice of Li Yelai resounded through the dark.

’Li Yelai’ looked at his own palm; the dark environment had no effect on Him, and He could clearly see every line on His palm. He slowly clenched His fist, feeling the flow of His blood and the tenseness of His muscles.

He couldn’t help but chuckle softly, ”Thanks to you, he really agreed to the deal... I had almost forgotten this feeling.”

The Insect Master knelt before Li Yelai but did not respond to His words. It was like a loyal servant.

It died, perishing from the biomass devouring which it was adept at.

It had devoured countless Humans and Extraordinary Creatures, a Catastrophe that would have devoured the entire Physical World, even threatening the Void Realm’s Insect Race.

But in the end, it was killed by Li Yelai, or rather Mr. Shadow, by the same means.

As ’Li Yelai’ dropped the Insect Master’s tentacle, its physical body collapsed in an instant, turning into ash scattering on the ground.

’Li Yelai’, however, looked towards the Insect Swarm.

The deal Li Yelai had with Him was to kill the Insect Master; these Insect Swarms were not His trade target with Li Yelai.

But He, or Li Yelai, could not proceed to a third trade so quickly.

Thus, He spoke with some regret, ”Let’s consider it a follow-up service...”

The next second.

The Insect Swarm emitted a sharp scream, their bodies beginning to mutate.

The powerful force was fading, their hard shells were degenerating, their body sizes were rapidly shrinking, their life levels all reversing.

From the peak adulthood of the Insect Race, regressing back to vulnerable larvae.

Ultimately, turning into pools of blood.

’How did you acquire such power?’ In the Void Realm, the giant who was still waiting for Li Yelai to present his head, looked at ’Li Yelai’ in astonishment.

He could not understand how things had developed to this point.

The Human chosen by the master above, refusing the Divine Gift at the brink of death. This wasn’t out of the ordinary; there’s great Fear between life and death, he would eventually come to accept all of this and pledge allegiance to our master.

But after refusing the Divine Gift, he unexpectedly obtained some kind of power that raised his own authority above that of the Insect Master and commanded all the Insect Swarm that heard his order.

In the end, he directly killed both the Insect Master and the Insect Swarm, which was utterly inconceivable!

Could it be that some other existence had personally descended... a Divine Descent?

This made the giant somewhat angry; his gaze shifted towards the Virtual Realm Starry Sky, ’Whoever you are? He is the Human chosen by my master, he must become the Divine Chosen!’

In the starry sky of the Void Realm, a laugh resonated: ”I don’t care...”

The giant opened his four eyes towards the starry sky, yet he was unable to see any existing figure.

This made him both angry and afraid; he was unable to even observe the opponent! He even started to doubt whether the voice he heard was just an illusion.

And in some massive battlefield deep within the Void Realm, atop a bloody throne, an existence raised its eyes towards somewhere.

”Doesn’t exist in this timeline?”

...

With the complete death of the Insect Master, the Catastrophe Fog that had engulfed half of Giant City began to disperse gradually at this moment.

On various battlefields, at the sight of the blue sky and white clouds,

Humans and Insect Swarms were simultaneously stunned for a moment.

The Catastrophe Fog has dissipated? This means the Catastrophe Fog Master is dead!

The next moment, Human Warriors erupted into unprecedented cheers!

”We did it! Sword Madman succeeded!”

”Decapitation successful! The Insect Master is dead!”

”Humanity will prevail!”

This would be a grand feat of Humanity’s struggle against the Calamity.

Humanity has subdued Disaster Fog No. 71!

Human Warriors roared excitedly!

The Insect Swarm, amidst the chaos of the Insect Master’s death, could only immediately flee Giant City, as the death of the Insect Master meant they could no longer spawn new Insect Swarms.

Even though they still had a considerable number, they could not continue to replenish their numbers.

They must gather all the remaining Insect Swarms, find a safe place to devour each other, in the hopes that a new Insect Master could be born.

Slaughter Insect Swarm was indeed a very perfect Extraordinary Species.

They were not only capable of rapid evolution and reproduction to adapt to different battlefields, but even in the wake of an Insect Master’s death, they had methods to construct a new one.

Given time, they might indeed devour the whole world.

But they would not have the chance. Large groups of Insect Swarm trying to flee Giant City, just having left the original boundaries of the Disaster Fog, ran into the Legion and Spiritual Ability Users that had long been on standby outside!

Human from the Giant City side had already made the worst preparations and deployed a massive force outside the Disaster Fog.

Therefore, in an instant, cannons roared, gunfire bellowed, and countless Insect Swarm were knocked down.

Alongside them, the Insect Swarm’s last hope of creating a new Insect Master was also knocked down...

On the battlefield, someone regained their senses amidst the surprise, ”Quick, organize rescue teams to enter the Underground Maze, support Sword Madman and the others!”

”That’s right, there might still be a considerable number of Insect Swarm in the Underground Maze! We can’t let them die before dawn!”

”They are all heroes! Heroes who saved Humanity!”

”Quick, go underground at once! Rescue the heroes!”

...

Meanwhile, in the Underground Maze.

The Human teams that had been scattered by the collapse were gradually regrouping.

They located each other by shouting through projections in the Void Realm and managed to reunite.

They had witnessed the death of the ’Insect Master’ and felt the dispersal of the Disaster Fog. They all knew that their decapitation mission had succeeded.

But amidst the joy, there was some heaviness.

Many comrades sacrificed in this mission, and many severely injured comrades may have to retire from the front lines.
