Chapter 32-32- Lord
"Teacher, this is... is this a war..." Rosalyn said in shock.
"It seems so." Yvette nodded solemnly.
From the Abyss Base to the huge Ish Island, her observations of the mutants clearly showed that they were a group of asocial creatures fighting on their own. Only in the second stage did they have a brain equivalent to that of a human baby. Such a scattered and guerrilla state could not threaten her peaceful life on Ish Island, as long as she did not commit suicide.
But if war broke out, the situation would be completely different. First, they would inevitably have a common will, whether it was the individual will of the advanced aberrations or the interconnected hive consciousness. This would drastically change their social structure, uniting them as a single force and then beginning to expand outward, which would sooner or later threaten the two people who had lived in Ish City for a long time.
And then there's that double-edged demon that seems to have reached the third stage, possessing intelligence comparable to that of a human. What role does it play in this war of aberrations?
As the battle line advanced, the Gray Harbor camp suffered defeat after defeat.
After Yvette drove the hovercraft and found a blind spot where no one cared, the two of them reached the deepest position with almost no pressure.
Standing atop a tall building, they saw a massive fleshy creature in the city center square, its body mostly hidden beneath the collapsed ground, its exposed surface consisting of a chrysanthemum-shaped spout. Beneath its translucent, scarlet skin riddled with thick blood vessels, a gigantic, eerie embryo seemed to be brewing.
"It's probably something like a 'hive.' The aberrations outside are either attacking it or defending it, which means this thing is the 'leader' of both sides." Yvette frowned. It had been many years since she last visited Gray Harbor City. For her, those few years, or even a decade, seemed like a fleeting moment, but they gave the aberrations the opportunity to evolve into a hive. I don't know if I should say that these long years have even distorted her sense of time.
"So what are we going to do?"
"No, it's too dangerous." Yvette shook her head and looked at the corner of the ground.
It was a giant scorpion, the size of a small truck. Even more terrifying was the fact that its back, covered in a thick black carapace, was dotted with dozens of humanoid eyeballs. These eyeballs, hidden beneath the crevices of the carapace, would occasionally peek out, taking in a 360-degree view of its surroundings.
Looking at its strange yet complete shape, and its quiet appearance lurking in the shadows, completely unaffected by the fighting on the front lines, Yvette couldn't help but suspect that this was also a third-stage aberration. Like the double-bladed demon, it had a high intelligence, which was why it was transferred here to specifically guard the mother nest.
"Teacher, there is... the double-edged demon!" At this moment, Rosalyn suddenly tugged at Yvette's sleeve.
Yvette turned her head and saw a black figure with four wings and back to back standing in a building not far away, also looking down at the situation below.
Suddenly, it seemed to sense the gaze from the other end, and slowly and extremely strangely turned its head. The muscles at the corners of its mouth began to twitch unnaturally and slowly pulled upwards.
But before it could reveal the anthropomorphic smile that had given Rosaline nightmares all night, four blue and white rune rings lit up around Yvette and shot several bursts of Thunder Fury at it.
The speed of this attack is not comparable to that of ordinary techniques. The blue and white lightning instantly fell in front of the double-edged demon.
Feeling this powerful potential, the double-edged demon's smile came to an abrupt end, and he immediately ran away, spinning in circles in the air, like a mosquito fleeing from an electric mosquito swatter, looking very embarrassed.
Finally, after hiding for a long time and being electrocuted, the double-edged demon, with a hole burned in one of its wings, finally dared not stay there any longer. It looked at Yvette deeply, turned around and disappeared into the crevices of the ruined buildings, leaving no trace.
…
In the evening, after the war between the mutants temporarily stopped, Yvette and Rosaline, who no longer stood by and watched, drove the hovercraft back to the city of Ish.
The outcome of the war was somewhat unexpected, and eventually the embryos in the mother nest came out.
It was a fat giant as tall as four or five stories. There was a huge mouth in its bloated belly with countless thick tongues inside. It could roll up more than a dozen deformed woodlice into its stomach in one breath and digest them quickly.
By utilizing the power of this war giant, the Grey Harbor camp managed to reverse the decline and forced the woodlice army to retreat.
Including the giant scorpion that was lurking next to the mother nest like a guard, two new three-stage mutants entered Rosalind's notebook and were named "Gluttonous Troll" and "Hundred-Eyed Scorpion" respectively.
"It's horrible, the speed at which these deformed creatures evolve..." Rosalyn sat down at the table uneasily.
"If it is a mother nest, the Ish Mountains and the northernmost Luya City may have existed long ago, but the mother nest in Gray Harbor City should have appeared in recent years." Yvette lowered her eyes and began to think about her current situation.
"What should we do, teacher? Should we do something?"
"Let's go investigate the Ish Mountains and the area around Luya City tomorrow to determine the situation," Yvette said. "If there's a significant disparity in power, we can consider getting involved from the periphery to support the weakest party and maintain a balance of power."
This was the best solution she could come up with. After all, if they were three-stage elites, Rosaline could probably match one, and Yvette herself could probably fight three or four at once. It sounded good, but it was life-threatening. Rather than risking such a huge risk, it was better to choose a less risky tactic of checks and balances.
However, just as the conclusion on future survival strategy was about to be finalized——
Yvette turned her head suddenly, and her cold gaze shot like a sharp arrow towards the manor outside the floor-to-ceiling window, which was shrouded in orange light.
Rosalyn followed her gaze and her heart suddenly stopped.
In the shadows, a slender, pitch-black figure with four broken wings on its back slowly walked out and stood silently at the junction of light and darkness.
Double-edged demon!
Why is it here?
Almost instantly, Rosaline wanted to pick up the alloy battle blade placed by the door. Even Yvette narrowed her eyes and walked towards the main door while preparing for a spell bombardment.
But what surprised them was that the double-edged demon did not show any fighting attitude, but stood there, waiting quietly.
Then, when the two of them approached, it slowly opened its mouth, and one after another, awkward and awkward words in the Kuroshio language, as if it had just learned, came out of its mouth intermittently -
"Human...Mage..."
"The Lord... is about to be born..."
"If we don't hurry up...we..."
“Everyone must die…!”
