Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 592: Chapter 277 Gathering

The Ma Family’s Mo Chen Dominator from No.3 Border City will be promoted to Supreme?

Everyone’s expression changed.

Li Yelai’s heart also tightened, the importance of this intelligence needed no further mention.

In the Giant City Circle of the border, among the four Giant Cities, the greatest combat strength consisted of two Kings and three Supremes.

This was the pinnacle of human combat power, the very capital humans used to counter the Forbidden Zone.

A single Giant City could not contend with an entire Forbidden Zone, but when the four Great Cities banded together, none of the Forbidden Zones could swallow them whole. This was how a delicate balance had been achieved.

If that Ma Family Overlord were to advance to a Supreme, humanity’s top-end combat power would see yet another increase.

For the Giant City, this would be great news!

But at the same time, it was also extremely secretive intelligence.

Neither the Forbidden Zones nor the Church wished to see another human Supreme emerge.

If they acquired the intelligence, they would certainly take action, intervening.

To ensure that the promotion wasn’t disrupted, this would have to remain top-secret information.

Li Yelai had even contacted headquarters three days ago.

But even he hadn’t obtained this intelligence, indicating that No.3 Border City was also in the dark.

Perhaps, fearing undercover agents in No.3 Border City, No.2 Border City had not informed them.

But Fen Xiao managed to learn of this in advance,

How had this guy obtained intelligence not even our allied cities had?

Li Yelai’s gaze flickered but he didn’t speak.

Qin Zhi, however, asked, “Fen Xiao, is your intelligence accurate? That’s a Supreme, after all; such secrets are likely unknown even to No.2 Border City’s own people. How did you come by this information?”

“You’re right. Even my own undercover agents failed to uncover this. It was by chance that I stumbled upon a thread of evidence, information obtained from within the Ma Family,” Fen Xiao said with a smile: “After several investigations, I was able to confirm the accuracy of this intel. That Overlord will ascend to Supreme within half a month!”

“You’re quite bold!” Liu Sheng remarked with emotion: “As expected of the Blood God’s Divine Chosen, daring to make a move against a Supreme.”

“Absolutely mad, Fen Xiao,” Li Yelai also spoke: “Even if I brought along an elite legion, on top of us several acting together, we couldn’t compare to a Supreme. Furthermore, No.2 Border City is sure to organize a massive force to defend his promotion.”

When an Overlord ascended to Supreme, there would be great disturbances in the Void Realm, attracting powerful Void Realm Creatures.

At the same time, it would also alarm the powerhouses within the Forbidden Zone.

One can say that before the ascension, intelligence must be kept in strict secrecy. But the moment the ascension begins, secrecy is pointless.

Because it cannot be hidden.

The raging Spiritual Energy Fluctuation during the promotion would sweep across the Void Realm, alerting nearly all Spiritual Ability Users.

The Forbidden Zone would be no exception.

They would naturally not allow another human Supreme to emerge and would surely stage a violent intervention.

However, due to the difference in intelligence, they would be too late to mobilize their legions; at most, Supreme and Overlord Level forces would launch an offensive.

As for the King of Restricted Zone… there’s a high probability they won’t take action.

Should the King of Restricted Zone dare to act, either the Old Mad King or the Amber King would either hunt in a group or one would hold back the King of Restricted Zone while the other entered the Forbidden Zone on a killing spree.

Then, war would escalate on all fronts…

The cost of intervention is too great. King Level individuals often would not act unless… there is a Supreme ascending to King, otherwise, the King of Restricted Zone would not emerge.

At the same time, the Giant City faction would also prepare defensive forces in advance to protect the promotion from being interrupted by any arriving Supreme or Overlord.

In such a scenario, even several Sixth Sensers and a ten-thousand-strong legion of Spiritual Ability Users would be annihilated if they clashed.

Really? Do they think the Giant City is easy to bully?

The Church has Spiritual Ability User legions, and the Giant City has Border Iron Guard as well as more City Defense Army.

Moreover, with twenty or thirty Captain Level combatants, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill you few Sixth Sensers, right?

Direct confrontation would have no chance of victory; it would just be delivering heads on a platter.

“Of course, I am aware, Emperor’s Fall.”

After drinking a glass of red wine, Fen Xiao continued with a smile: “Within No.2 Border City, aside from that Mo Chen Dominator, there is also a Supreme, and five Overlord Level powerhouses.”

“When Mo Chen Dominator ascends, some of them will inevitably be protecting the vicinity. I estimate there will also be a formal contingent of Border Iron Guard.”

“With our power, we’re not yet qualified for a direct confrontation.”

“Unless… some King of Restricted Zone takes action, who could guarantee a victory against a Supreme?”

“If it’s not feasible…” Liu Sheng frowned in confusion.

But Li Yelai and Qin Zhi’s expression shifted; they understood the hidden meaning in Fen Xiao’s words.

When Mo Chen Dominator ascends to Supreme, the Forbidden Zone would surely dispatch powerhouses to attempt an assassination. It’s even possible that all three Forbidden Zones would send powerhouses.

The protective forces guarding Mo Chen’s ascension would certainly be significant.

This would draw away much of the Giant City’s combat power.

That would be the period when the Giant City is at its most vulnerable.

Should they overcome that vulnerable period, No.2 Border City would become a powerful city boasting twin Supremes.

However, the devotees of Chaos would not allow them to easily get through this vulnerable period.

“Are you planning to move against No.2 Border City during the time when Mo Chen is ascending and the Giant City’s defenses are at their weakest?” Li Yelai asked.

“You’ve noticed indeed,” Fen Xiao nodded slightly: “Indeed, that is exactly my plan. It is also the grand banquet of slaughter we offer to our lord!”

“How then can you ensure that the other Giant Cities won’t provide assistance?” Li Yelai asked: “During a human Supreme’s ascension, the other Giant Cities will surely dispatch strong fighters to assist; there might not be a so-called vulnerable period at all.”

“That you need not worry about. You and your legion will surely reap satisfactory fruits of slaughter,” Fen Xiao said with a smile, abstaining from revealing his detailed plan, but Li Yelai could guess some of it.
