That night.
The moon is setting in the west, and the sky is full of stars.
On the Land of Redemption, the infected creatures that roamed the land had dimmed their red light considerably.
They remained stationary.
Unless provoked, they will not launch an attack on human territory.
In an instant, the tense hearts of the lords from various countries relaxed.
The extraordinary disaster—the infection crisis—has lasted for three days and two nights.
Finally, in the last night, the restless infected creatures quieted down.
The vast majority of lords stayed within their territories, waiting for dawn to break and for the infection crisis to end.
Only those powerful lords who were already on the list would lead their troops out at night to kill infected creatures in order to improve their ranking on the list.
Just then.
A golden dot of light appeared in the sky above a place where infected individuals had gathered.
The light spot expanded rapidly, illuminating the surrounding night sky.
A large spaceship, 100 meters long, folded in.
The ship has a disc-shaped hull and a high-tech feel.
It was the Protoss mothership, the Purifier.
"Purify all the filthy infected creatures below!"
Serandis stood on the bridge and said in a cold voice.
Ten semi-transparent panels are projected from the control panel.
One by one, Protoss warriors stretched out their hands and controlled the area remotely.
The Purifier's weapon systems were activated.
Hundreds of scorching purification beams burst forth, covering a wide area and igniting all the infected below.
Each purification beam is one meter in diameter, leaving trails of fire along its path, causing additional and continuous damage to the infected.
"Only by finding the source can we end the infection!"
Serandis ordered the Protoss warriors to capture two infected creatures alive and send them to the research lab for dissection.
The analysis report was quickly submitted.
The alien genes are not present in the blood and hair of the infected organism.
"No trace of alien insects was found here!"
"Leave this area and continue the search!"
"We must complete the task assigned to us by the archbishop in the shortest possible time!"
Serandis spoke rapidly, her azure eyes brimming with fierce fighting spirit.
She firmly believes that as long as the swarm is found and purified, the infection will surely be ended.
The next instant.
The Purifier flashed and disappeared into the night sky.
All that remained were flames and the ashes of infected creatures.
For the Land of Redemption, the Protoss are a completely new alien race.
Its arrival is destined to make the situation more complex and turbulent.
Three hours later.
More and more human lords have seen the Purifier in person.
They also saw the invincible Protoss warriors emerging from the ships.
Humans often feel fear towards the unknown.
This time was no exception.
Many human lords were terrified and opened chat windows to express their worries and fears.
In an instant, the world chat channel became incredibly popular.
Has anyone ever seen a giant flying warship that's 100 meters long?
[Disc-shaped, right? That flying ship just flew right over my head.]
The information flashed by, not very clear, but it seemed this warship was called the "Purifier" and belonged to the Protoss.
[I saw this warship flying in the sky, firing hundreds of beams of fire. The infected creatures were instantly incinerated upon contact. Such powerful attack force was simply terrifying.]
[And those Protoss warriors, they actually ignore the infection and won't be assimilated, they're too monstrous.]
[Protoss? Why have I never heard of this race before? Could it be a hidden, native force that has been lurking for many years?]
Don't you think the Protoss are even more terrifying than the Infected? If this Purifier were to attack our territory, it would be catastrophic.
What on earth is going on this year? First, there was a catastrophic disaster, then a completely new race appeared. How can a weak lord like me survive?
[A completely new race, with no records whatsoever. To wage war against them would likely be fraught with difficulties.]
[Baka! The infection crisis isn't over yet, and tonight another Protoss ship has appeared, rampaging through the area. Is something big about to happen next?]
[The Protoss, perhaps friends of humanity, didn't you see? The Protoss ships are firing at the Infected.]
[Is anyone brave enough to send out air force to intercept the Purifier?]
[Holy crap! Upstairs, are you looking for trouble? What if you anger the Protoss? Making an enemy of the entire race is incredibly unwise.]
[Fuck, I feel like the Land of Redemption is acting very differently this year! According to the CIA, the number of human lords who have died is more than double that of the same period last year.]
[I have no ambition, I just want to lie low. God help me! Neither infected creatures nor Protoss should ever set foot in my territory.]
The Purifier will not halt its advance because of the discussions among the human lords.
Under Serandis's command, countless infected were burned to ashes by the flames.
Furthermore, in order to find the Zerg, the Purifier activated thermal imaging scanning and headed towards areas with a higher number of infected.
...
...
On the other side.
Su Bai stood atop the young thunder beast's head, gazing into the distance.
In the darkness of night, countless purple lights converged, weaving together to form a vast ocean.
"Zhao Ganwu's talent and skills in controlling hundreds of millions of infected individuals are a perfect match for this special disaster!"
"There is absolutely no lord who can surpass my kill count."
"This time, I'm sure I'll be able to stay on the top spot on the kill leaderboard until the very end."
As he watched the number of kills on the leaderboard steadily increase, and the gap between him and the second-place player widen, Su Bai's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but smile.
He is now looking forward to what the mysterious reward for the top spot will be.
But whatever the reward, Su Bai was satisfied.
After all, he used to not even dare to dream of making the list.
"This isn't a special disaster, it's clearly a welfare program!"
"I wish such disasters would happen more often in the future!"
Su Bai laughed heartily, in high spirits.
Just then, the chat page started flashing.
[Wang Zhenguo: I never expected you to be so monstrous, directly surpassing the old lords of various countries to reach the top. This is simply a miracle! Although I don't know how you did it, I respect your privacy and won't ask any further questions.]
[Wang Zhenguo: The infection crisis will be over by tomorrow morning. If nothing unexpected happens, the mysterious reward at the top of the leaderboard will definitely be yours. Those old foreign lords will probably be furious; after so many years, they've been surpassed by a newcomer.]
