Capítulo 1096: Chapter 535: The Rise of the Disaster Fog! (Part 2)

The commanders of the Mountain City were incredulous, completely unable to understand the tactical thinking of the Forbidden Zone.

Could it be that Demon Abyss Mountain merely wants to shatter the high walls? To achieve this tactical goal, are they willing to pay such a heavy price?

The Human warriors were extremely puzzled.

Xiao Ye and the others were naturally confused as well, but the exhausted Xiao Ye lacked the strength to think.

Letting the Epidemic Doctor and the Little Mad King support her, they headed to a branch of the Processing Department within the Giant City.

However, she suddenly noticed a thin layer of fog permeating the air….

At the same time, within Demon Abyss Mountain, the Supreme also inquired: “My King, why did you suddenly attack and then withdraw?”

“The timing of using the Peak Spear was also incorrect, shouldn’t it be used only after our Legion approaches the Giant City?”

“Now, we not only lost the Peak Spear but also abandoned the defense line we had fought hard to take. Why did you suddenly order the Legion to retreat, and even take a detour to return?”

“What exactly is your intention…”

However, the next moment, the Supreme fell silent.

Because, he saw an entity spreading from the depths of the Dark Abyss…

“Truly insane… My King…” the Forbidden Zone Supreme slowly said, “Is this your true objective?”

“Your goal is not war, no, you initiated the war, sacrificing the Legion and the people, all for this one purpose! This result!”

“To destroy the high walls of the Giant City, to shatter their… Disaster Fog Defense Array!”

The Abyss King let out a deep laugh: “Sacrificing our several Legions, allowing Chaos to wreak havoc in our territory.”

“At the cost of these sacrifices, we eliminate Humanity’s most elite from all directions… Truly a no-loss gamble!”

He naturally knew what was really happening with the mysterious population disappearances within Demon Abyss Mountain, and he was aware of what entity was hiding beneath the Dark Abyss!

That which causes a Champion’s Defeat, nurturing countless fears, the Disaster Fog No. 49!

Unlike other Disaster Fogs, it inherently possesses a very high intelligence, even able to cooperate with us.

For this step, the Abyss King threw all the prisoners, spies, and traitors from within the Forbidden Zone into the Dark Abyss!

They will, within the Disaster Fog, nurture even more powerful Horror Demons!

And what Demon Abyss Mountain needs to do is, while feeding it, pry open the gates of the Giant City for it!

Humans gather in droves around Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, making Ba Shu Mountain City unprecedentedly strong?

That is exactly what he wanted!

Come, be drawn here!

Human heroes, Heavenly Pride! All drawn by war, come!

You all shall become the nourishment for the Disaster Fog!

After swallowing millions, the Disaster Fog No. 49 can no longer be suppressed!

From this point on, Ba Shu Mountain City is wiped out, and Human Pride falls!

With one less Giant City, the balance maintained by the remaining two Giant Cities of humanity can no longer be sustained.

The three major restricted areas will engulf the two remaining Giant Cities, thus completely destroying the delicate balance between humanity and the Forbidden Zone…

The era of the Forbidden Zone has arrived!

….

At the same time, the Human Army on the front lines vigilantly observed the battlefield, inspecting and quickly reclaiming the defense line abandoned by the Forbidden Zone Legion.

And step by step, they reconstructed the defense line, advancing deeper into the battlefield.

Whether it was the Forbidden Zone or the Human Army, they paid a great price to contest this defense line.

The soil beneath their feet was infused with the flesh and blood of warriors from both sides, and now that the defense line was so easily reclaimed, the Human warriors felt a sense of unreality.

Leading this Army, Major General Zheng Wei was shocked and puzzled, seeing the enemy had abandoned their weapons and equipment.

“Earth-shattering Cannon? They even abandoned such a formidable weapon?” Major General Zheng Wei couldn’t help but exclaim.

This was a Forbidden Zone cannon with even more firepower than a Plasma Cannon, and many Human warriors had been injured by this weapon.

In the past, to prevent Humans from stealing their technology, this weapon would be destroyed immediately if it could not be taken away.

Yet now, it was perfectly left on the battlefield, without even being destroyed? Truly abandoned in haste?

After contemplating, Major General Zheng Wei asked the military Spiritual Ability User again: “Are there any traps nearby? Or strange Spiritual Energy Fluctuations?”

“We’ve checked three times, and there is nothing unusual. The enemy Legion suddenly abandoned all supplies and heavy weapons, leaving the battlefield quickly.” The military Spiritual Ability User responded.

“Strange… They sacrificed three Legions for this battlefield, only to abandon it to us, leaving behind these heavy weapons. Have they changed to being our benefactors?” Major General Zheng Wei pondered. Then he asked: “Any news from the Pursuit Team?”

“Not yet…” The military Spiritual Ability User frowned, looking beyond the battlefield.

Indeed, he had not received signals from the Pursuit Team; had the military Spiritual Ability User in the Pursuit Team encountered trouble?

At this time, an angry roar came from the Void Realm: “All….”

It was the voice of a Human King, shaking the Void Realm. But the voice suddenly stopped, leaving the Human warriors bewildered and on high alert, observing their surroundings even more carefully.

The military Spiritual Ability User suddenly noticed blurry vision and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

Only to find that his vision was becoming even blurrier, no, it wasn’t his eyes that were blurred… Instead, a thin layer of fog had drifted onto the battlefield at some point.

In that instant, the Spiritual Ability User was struck by lightning.

High walls, fog…

Disaster Fog Defense Array, and… Disaster Fog!

Damn it, was this war by the Forbidden Zone for this?

The military Spiritual Ability User didn’t regard anything else, he urged all his Spiritual Energy to roar in the Void Realm!

“Disaster Fog!”

It was his full-force scream, and the sound quickly spread throughout the Void Realm.

However, everything was already too late…

That was fog extending from beneath the ground. Initially, the fog was so thin it was almost undetectable. But quickly, it spread at an astonishing speed, engulfing the entire battlefield!

Or rather, the moment the high walls of the Giant City shattered, the Disaster Fog had already launched its assault.

By the time Humans noticed, it was already too late.

Who could have thought that the Forbidden Zone would cooperate with the Disaster Fog viewed as Catastrophe?

A Human warrior, enraged, desperately used Aerial Stepping to gain altitude, only to vanish into the fog the next second.

A Human Army scattered to flee, only to fall silent instantly, leaving the battlefield deathly quiet.

Everything was too late…

The speed at which the fog spread surpassed Human imagination.

Within mere seconds, the entire battlefield was swallowed by the dense fog. The shouts of Human warriors and the sounds of Spiritual Energy Fluctuations gradually disappeared in the fog, as if utterly isolated by some force.

Looking at the increasingly dense fog around them, Little Mad King and the Epidemic Doctor’s expressions were complicated.

As members of the No.3 Border City who had experienced Disaster Fog No. 71, they knew all too well what this fog represented.

Even within the Void Realm, a shadow enveloped them.

Xiao Ye stood between the two, her vision blurred by the fog.

A sense of indescribable loss and grievance surged in her heart, as if something important was silently slipping through her fingers. A familiar figure appeared in her mind….

‘I wish I could see you again, Xiao Ye…’ She whispered in her heart, full of endless longing and reluctance.

‘But we cannot meet again… Don’t, absolutely don’t come over.’

The fog grew thicker, as if it wanted to drown her thoughts as well. She reached out, wanting to grasp something, only to touch nothingness.

….

In a corner of the world, within the base of the Heavenly Destiny Walker.

A walker reported: “Disaster Fog No. 49 has come, and the Human elites drawn by Ten Thousand Dragon Lake were completely devoured. Including the Fear Empress. The future Emperor….”

“All of this is due to the Variable!” another walker said, “Had the Variable not prematurely released Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, would the Human powerhouses have gone there to challenge Ming Xia’s legacy, getting drawn into war? Without it, how could they have been devoured by the Disaster Fog?”

“The Variable changed the fate of too many people, this is the greatest Calamity of this world!”

“Enough.” The Book Holder said, “What we need to do is not complain, but to strive for recovery. At least, those important powers in the future, we have managed to block them… This is the unfortunate bit of fortune.”
