Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1048: Chapter 508: Lackey of Chaos

The collective self-detonation of the hot melt bombs precisely destroyed the structure of that Net Road.

Causing the walls to shatter, the ground to collapse, and even cold streams of water from unknown sources to surge in.

“I’m in early eight!” Amidst the angry roar of the grenade, the four people inside the passage were instantly swallowed.

And in the depths of the Net Road, watching the screen showing the violently collapsing passage.

Those who came for him were drowned by countless rubble and even underground rivers.

Zhou Ding showed a pleased smile.

“Look, Lord Zi Yu. What a wonderful encounter this is…”

Compared to those inheritance challenges, the conditions for obtaining the rewards were more lenient.

To get the reward, he didn’t necessarily have to act personally.

Even if he manipulated the Taboo Items to defeat the opponent, it would count as a victory for himself.

Using the Mechanical God Core, he calculated the weak points of the passage and lured and bombarded the warriors using the revived Mechanical Souls of cars and hot melt bombs.

This was the first attack he launched on everyone.

No matter how strong they are, so what?

In his controlled territory, they can’t even see him before being annihilated by the Mechanical Souls!

The reason he chose this area as his hideout was because the Mechanical God Core detected that this area had many abandoned machines.

This Giant City had encountered the Slaughter Insect Swarm, leaving many machines underground during the war.

Now, these would turn into his bombs and bombard those invaders!

And in Zhou Ding’s mind, a light laugh from the Void Realm echoed, seemingly appreciating his strategy.

Zhou Ding admired this trait in Zi Yu, for he could come up with any means necessary to complete a plan. Using the car’s sound system to disguise as a hostage’s voice to further disrupt the opponent’s judgment was truly ingenious. Such control over human nature is beyond ordinary capability.

‘Too bad, the opponent reacted quickly, and the hot melt bombs didn’t cause effective damage. Otherwise, you might have already received one or two rewards.’ Zi Yu’s voice transmitted from the Void Realm, elegant and mysterious.

“No matter, I never expected to win in one move against so many strong participants. It’s just right for me to test the power of the Mechanical God Core.” Zhou Ding played with the Mechanical Magic Cube.

With his manipulation, the cube twisted rapidly: “This Taboo Item is really strong… but the cost is somewhat troublesome.”

He stumbled upon this unclaimed cube during a reward completed by chance.

Afterward, he learned its name and usage cost from Zi Yu’s mouth.

It can forcibly activate any mechanical creation’s Mechanical Soul, at the cost that for every ten activated mechanical souls, the eleventh activated soul will not follow his orders and may even harbor hostility toward him.

Previously, during his escape, he activated a Mechanical Soul of a guard’s hot melt gun with the Mechanical God Core, forcing it to misfire or malfunction.

But the Mechanical Soul of that hot melt gun erupted with the most furious roar.

As if to avenge its owner, with its owner already dying with their lower half blown off, it autonomously adjusted to deliver precisely aimed firepower at him.

This is a risk not to be underestimated!

However, fortunately, he could see the danger value and determine the risk in advance.

As Zhou Ding controlled, the previously scrambled cube was quickly reassembled neatly, activating more Mechanical Souls.

Yet, in a moment, Zhou Ding’s inspiration warned him of approaching danger.

This caused him to subconsciously stop his actions and carefully look at the cube in his hand.

Seeing the cube’s ‘danger value’ was low, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Over time, he had grown to trust the value so much that he ignored the sudden inspiration.

Unbeknownst to him, deep within the Void Realm, a powerful existence revived due to the recombination of the Mechanical Magic Cube.

Its sharp gaze swept across the Virtual Realm Starry Sky and finally rested on that eerie figure.

The figure was a human female in a purple feather cloak… unmistakably Zi Yu.

This made its gaze more piercing: ‘Chaos lackey!’

It hailed from a once extremely powerful civilization, capable at its peak of challenging the Chaos Evil God. Naturally, it recognized Zi Yu’s identity.

But it didn’t suddenly attack; it understood its revival currently depended on the cooperation of this chaos lackey.

While Zi Yu lightly laughed, looking at the mysterious existence. In her eyes, its danger value was starkly different from Zhou Ding’s, being extremely high!

She raised her index finger, placed it against her lips, and made a ‘shush’ gesture.

‘At least for now, we are allies. And you… will have your wish granted… but need to put some more pressure on him…’

…

Meanwhile, Li Ye and his group were engulfed by collapsed pipes and river water.

For a moment, Li Ye really wanted to curse.

When entering the Net Road, he had a premonition.

If he activated the Face here and caused fighting damage to the geological structure, it might trigger a collapse.

This point, Li Ye was quite aware of.

Therefore, he was also prepared to fight without using the Face.

As a result, the collapse still came!

When I activate the Face, if you cause a collapse, then it’s my unfortunate fate as old Li.

Now, I haven’t even activated the Face and you caused a collapse, didn’t I hide in vain?

While complaining in his mind, Li Ye continued to move, the Blood God’s Seven-layered Shield on his wrist radiating red light.

He fully expanded the shield to resist the falling giant rocks.

Creating a safe area like a large umbrella.

Giving the other three two seconds to quickly dodge and enter.

If hit directly by several hundred tons of giant rocks, they wouldn’t fare well.

Being buried alive would still mean waiting for death. Not to mention the area was flooded by unknown sources. Without the underwater breathing blessing, the Spiritual Ability Users could still suffocate to death.

With the protection of the Seven-layered Shield, the four could fall relatively safely.

The recent collapse brought them to a deeper Net Road space.

This left the three stunned, each injured to some extent.

Zhou Hao simply treated a scratch on his thigh and looked at Li Ye, seeming to tentatively say: “Thank you, Lord, but there seems to be some negative aura on this Secret Treasure…”

“Naturally, this was a trophy from my participation in a Church extermination campaign.” Li Ye nodded: “Just acquired recently, indeed tainted with some Chaos aura. No need to worry.”

“I see…” The grenade nodded slightly and pondered inwardly.

The recent official campaigns against Chaos believers.

It should be Champion Team One attacking the Jile Subsidiary in Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, and Champion Team One exterminating a Church’s base when returning to the city.

Perhaps this Feng Yu is a tough guy from Champion Team One?

The three had varied thoughts but quickly put aside this idea and focused on how to continue onward.

The recent collapse disrupted Zhou Hao’s original route. Now nobody knew where they had fallen.

However, just as Zhou Hao took out the map to begin comparing their location.

He again felt the ground shaking, followed by extremely dense iron hoof sounds.
