On the afternoon of the 22nd, the four returned safely to Hua'an City, bringing back important information.
The mist and the true form of Hades are extraterrestrial beings of the extraordinary level, known as the "Cataclysmic Curtain." Any life shrouded within it will be frozen in time.
Only power surpassing the Ninth Realm can harm it. Less than 48 hours remain before the Calamity Mist completely engulfs the world.
In this critical moment, naturally some deserted, wanting to sneak into the unprotected near-Earth space station and gamble on a spacecraft whose technology was not yet mature. There were also those who seized rocket launch sites, broke into underground safe cities, and indulged in a lavish lifestyle by purchasing items for free... The chaos escalated.
As for the Federation, after the Vera and Gallia families suffered heavy losses, the third largest family, the Iverson family, which had been silent until now, suddenly took advantage of the situation to attack the two families. Two members of the Vera family who were at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm died and were injured, and the Iverson family suddenly became the main force controlling the Federation.
However, the Federation has now been completely swallowed by the Shadow of the Mist, and the Iverson family has temporarily relocated to the southern islands. After the Middle-earth announced the news of the [Shadow of Calamity], they proactively expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Middle-earth to jointly eliminate it.
Zhongtu then announced that it would gather experts at the ninth level of the martial arts realm to join forces against the enemy.
The Federation Iverson family, the Europa Merclins family, the North Sands, the South American Simon family, and almost all the forces in the world that possess the power of the ninth realm responded.
Midnight on the 22nd was a sleepless night.
Following a brief international conference, ten experts at the ninth level and eighteen cultivators at the ninth rank were selected to face off against [Calamity Mist Shadow] on the morning of the 23rd in the East Sea of Central China.
But soon it was discovered that the ten people who had reached the ninth level of the martial arts realm were Gu Lianghan, Shen Cangbai, Wei Kunyu, Hua Lihan, Neftor, Johnson Bedford, Lar Merklins, Oak Vera, Aiton, and Monto.
Among the eighteen cultivators at the ninth level of cultivation, there were three regional leaders from the Central Plains: Lu Xin, Yan Zhongxing, and Xiao Bozhi.
All the older generation of Super Ninth Realm cultivators from the Central Plains participated in the battle, while the two Super Ninth Realm cultivators from the three chaotic lands were not on the battle list, and only sent a few Ninth Realm cultivators to participate.
Naturally, some people have discussed and questioned this, but many more people place all their hopes for survival on these people, hoping that they can create a miracle and usher in a new peace.
Some people held out hope, while others were pessimistic, believing that even if they joined forces, they would ultimately not be able to surpass the ninth realm and had no hope of victory.
But regardless of success or failure, the die is cast, and these twenty-eight people are ready to go.
This journey is fraught with peril; we will not return until we have triumphed.
Of course, this is what most people see; they are completely unaware of the twists and turns before, during, and after the meeting.
They knew neither that the chosen heroes were those destined for victory, nor how many of those chosen were chosen voluntarily or under duress, nor that behind all of this lay deeper schemes and grudges.
Unbeknownst to them, during the time they waited for dawn on the 23rd, countless people were searching for Chang Le and Fu Jiu, wishing they could kill her.
In any case, the morning of the 23rd arrived as usual.
As the twilight line crossed the shadow of calamity, it slowly swept across the sky above the East China Sea, where twenty-eight figures stood amidst the azure sea and clouds, ready for battle.
Suddenly, a wind arose, carrying the salty sea breeze, but also a heavy, rotten smell. It turned out that the fog had gathered in front of them, like a celestial road crossing the ocean, and at its end, it condensed into that human figure.
Hades reappeared, but his appearance was even stranger than before.
His lower body had already merged with the black mist, and his upper body, except for his face, was covered with blackish-gray scales on all exposed skin. The scales were also covered with fine, hair-like fibers, making him look extremely eerie.
"Just...you?" Hades' expression was full of contempt, looking at everyone as if they were a group of ants.
Gu Lianghan stepped forward: "[Catastrophe Shadow], we represent this world and volunteer to fight."
Hades chuckled softly: "You have a word that perfectly describes the current situation! It's called... an ant trying to shake a tree!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist behind him suddenly surged like a vast ocean. In an instant, countless fine threads formed a monstrous wave that swept past, and in the blink of an eye, three people were swept down from the sky!
Sold out instantly!
An absolute difference in cultivation level!
Everyone was wary of him.
The Hades before me was like the difference between a complete form and a clone compared to the one from a few days ago; they were on completely different levels.
The previous one was merely beyond the ordinary ninth realm, but the Hades before him seemed like an insurmountable mountain, the ceiling of this world, a god of calamity, making one feel insignificant and powerless in his presence.
Even so, they cannot retreat; they have nowhere left to retreat!
"Gentlemen, I request permission to fight!" Gu Lianghan's emotions were extremely calm, his tone extremely firm, and his face showed no fear of facing death.
Above the sky, everyone chose to face death with righteous indignation.
On the earth, everyone looked up at them, filled with awe and deep emotion.
Perhaps no moment better demonstrates the effectiveness of death education in times of natural disasters.
A fiercer battle than the one fought in Mossandra erupted, with the sky shifting and changing, and spatial rifts constantly being torn apart by energy, causing even nearby alien species to retreat.
Their battle was fierce and the fighting was extremely brutal.
It was a one-sided tragedy, because Hades only seemed to have lost some energy. The creatures in the mist behind him were constantly providing him with energy, and the absolute difference in cultivation level also allowed him to exert greater power when using the same amount of energy.
Blood splattered like rain, and people kept falling from the sky while others rose from the ground.
