Chapter 123. All countries enter...
After Xingyan and Ina left, Lin Xiaoxiao had Monet create tens of thousands of special receiving arrays based on the blueprints sent by Kagome.
He also instructed the staff in Mona City to systematically bury these palm-sized receiving arrays in the surrounding area.
These array plates must be placed in groups of six, buried 36.4 centimeters underground at designated distances, to receive all creatures within the secret realm.
Kagome and the others had already notified all the countries in advance of their plans to leave the secret realm and descend upon the Black Abyss. As for how to explain this to the people below, that was a matter for the high-ranking officials of each country.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for Kagome and the others to activate the Reverse Teleportation Technique.
The sky has collapsed more than halfway, and beyond the sky, one can see the dark, turbulent space of the Dragon Kingdom.
After several days of chaotic panic buying of supplies, packing belongings, and scrambling for space, as Cang Shu requested, the people were gathered at the teleportation points in each city.
In the city square of the Dragon Kingdom's capital, Xiao Yanci and Xiao Wantang pushed Old Master Xiao, who was sitting in a wheelchair. They were surrounded by Uncle Jiang, Sister Luo, and others, as well as members of the Dragon Fang Squad, Uncle Lin, and their relatives.
Xiao Yanci stood expressionlessly beside Old Master Xiao, while Xiao Wantang appeared very nervous, her small hands gripping the armrests of Old Master Xiao's wheelchair.
Xiao Wantang deliberately lowered her voice and said to Xiao Yanci beside her in a hoarse and slightly trembling voice, "Second brother, I'm scared."
Xiao Yanci pursed his lips, put his arm around Xiao Wantang's shoulder, and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Second Brother, Grandpa, Uncle Jiang... everyone is here."
Grandpa Xiao did not interrupt his grandson and granddaughter's conversation. Instead, his expression was very solemn. His left hand, which was resting on his knee, was slightly curled up as he stroked the three spatial rings on his right hand.
He pondered how to arrange things in the Black Abyss so that he could take care of the nearly two hundred members of the Xiao family. He wondered if he would be able to find his unfilial son who had disappeared for many years in the Black Abyss.
'Peng—' The sky transformed into thick, semi-transparent stones, falling one after another, eliciting screams:
"The sky has fallen again, another piece has fallen down, it's terrifying."
"Shut up, stop yelling, it's so noisy."
"When can we leave? This is terrifying."
...
Time flew by, and three hours passed. In the plaza, where much of the equipment had already been removed, announcements rang out: "Teleportation is about to begin. Please prepare accordingly."
"One minute countdown, 60, 59... 3, 2, 1, begin teleportation!"
As the countdown ended, the gravity inside the dragon seemed to disappear by half, and everything floated up a few meters, lingering in mid-air for more than ten seconds.
Amidst cries of panic, the surrounding air distorted into ripples, and small teleportation lights flickered on.
Many teleportation beams flashed and disappeared in the Black Abyss. Each beam brought a group of fair-skinned professionals who were different from the native inhabitants of the Black Abyss, as well as many monsters brought out from the secret realm.
Those with good luck will land in a safe place when they enter the Abyss, giving them enough time to react and face the crisis.
Those who are unlucky will fall directly into the horde of polluted beasts/polluted entities and be forced into combat. Skilled professionals can fight their way out and escape the polluted beast horde.
Some unlucky ones, upon landing, were unable to resist the black mist due to their low level and immediately became polluted beings/polluted beasts.
Lin Xiaoxiao swung her sword, and the sword energy drew a fan shape, cutting all the polluted beasts within a 50-meter radius in front of her in half.
Xiao Weizhi stood not far from her, holding a completely black staff. With each swing, hundreds of boomerangs made of dark energy would fly towards the corrupted beasts in front, finishing off the corrupted beasts that Lin Xiaoxiao had missed.
A dozen minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao reminded him in a hoarse voice, "Weizhi, Grandpa Xiao and my second uncle should have arrived at Black Abyss by now. After we get back, find someone to check where they are now."
Xiao Weizhi nodded: "Mm."
'honglonglong—' Suddenly, flames burst forth, and a wild god appeared, standing 6 meters tall with more than a dozen heads, eight arms, and a horse-like lower body.
Each of these wild gods wields a different weapon: a staff, a dagger, a bow and arrow, a spear, a greatsword...
During combat, it will constantly spin around and swing its weapon, forming a special encirclement to protect itself in the middle, like a meat grinder.
Anyone who gets close to it, whether a corrupted beast or a professional, will be shredded into pieces.
Lin Xiaoxiao transformed the lightsaber in her hand into a long staff and waved it several times.
The next instant, a golden energy cage materialized, trapping the disgusting and ugly wild god within.
With another wave of his staff, the cage rapidly contracted.
In the blink of an eye, the gold on the cage transformed into a special blade, sizzling and burning, instantly slicing the wild god into a pile of pieces.
[Lucky Goddess's Agent: Lin Xiaoxiao, execute [Wild God - Danube], obtain: one corrupted divine core fragment]
I just finished dealing with the wild god with more than a dozen heads.
Several more wild gods suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They all had very peculiar appearances. Some had eyes all over their bodies, some had bodies as soft and slimy as eels, and some had the bodies of birds and the heads of humans... They were all demons and monsters.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, and once again waved the staff in her hand, quickly clearing away these wild gods.
Just after we cleared them out, a dozen or so wild gods appeared.
As time went by, the number of polluted beasts gradually decreased, while the number of wild gods increased.
These wild gods seemed to be targeting Lin Xiaoxiao's location, surging towards her, only to be cleared away before surging forward again.
After clearing out dozens of waves of wild gods, the number of casualties among the professionals in Mona City increased dramatically, and Lin Xiaoxiao had already sensed that something was wrong.
She turned to Xiao Weizhi beside her and said, "Weizhi, these wild gods are coming for me. I have to take them away from Mona City."
[The term "super boss" is used by the professional players, while "wild god" is used by the divinely favored ones.]
If these wild gods stay in this area any longer, Mona City will probably be breached in less than three hours. We must take these wild gods away.
Xiao Weizhi paused in his hand, which was waving his staff, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you. I'll have someone tell the old man."
After saying that, without giving Lin Xiaoxiao a chance to refuse, he waved to a small boy who was 1.7 meters tall and dressed in full black armor in the distance.
A few minutes later, the little boy came running over excitedly: "Brother Xiao, did you call me?"
This little boy is the son of an uncle from the Xiao family army. He was brought to the battlefield for two reasons: first, to help him level up, and second, to act as a messenger so that someone could go back and deliver a message if something happened.
Xiao Weizhi nodded: "Ah, tell the old man: Xiaoxiao and I will lure these super boss monsters to the contaminated area to deal with them."
The boy named Ale grinned, revealing a row of white teeth: "Okay, Brother Xiao, I understand. I will pass these words on to Uncle Xiao verbatim."
Xiao Weizhi felt a headache coming on when he saw this kid who was always sticking to him like a shadow and he couldn't get rid of him.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows, then waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to leave quickly.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled and swung her sword several times, slashing out a straight line three meters wide and twenty meters long: "Let's go."
Xiao Weizhi raised his staff, and soon, a pure black magic circle, thousands of meters in size, silently appeared in the dark sky.
Countless black orbs of light descended from the magic circle, controlled to attack the advanced polluted beasts, polluted entities, and wild gods below.
Three minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi flew into the air, leading a large group of polluted beasts, polluted beings, and wild gods, and led them away from the area of Mona City.
After walking for over a hundred kilometers, we found a forest of dead trees with only black, withered branches and not a single leaf, which had been dead for an unknown period of time.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi stayed here for nearly 30 hours before they finally cleared out all the monsters they had attracted.
They floated together in mid-air, looking down at the still-piled corpses below. After observing for a while and confirming that no other monsters were chasing after them, they finally realized that no other monsters were coming.
Lin Xiaoxiao left behind a flame of faith and waited in place for thirty minutes.
After the pile of polluted corpses below had burned down to a high level, the two turned around and went back to Mona City.
Upon returning to Mona City, Lin Xiaoxiao received several pieces of good news:
First: Kagome and the others have returned safely and are currently resting on the top floor of Ina's building.
Secondly, the Lin family, the Xiao family, Longya's friends and other familiar relatives and friends all landed safely in the Black Abyss without encountering any major difficulties. They did encounter a few small groups of polluted beasts along the way, and all of them have now arrived at the Xiao family army.
Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Mona City and took Xiao Weizhi straight to the top floor of the Zuocheng Modern Building.
Upon entering, Kuku immediately found a chair to sit down, picked up a bottle of water from the table, poured it into his mouth, and also handed a bottle of water to Xiao Weizhi, gesturing for him to drink quickly.
Ina, sprawled on the recliner, glanced at her and said wearily, "Why do you look like you're dying of thirst?"
All the food and drink resources in the space were given to the resistance army to replenish their logistics. Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi hadn't drunk water for more than two days, so it's normal for them to be thirsty.
Lin Xiaoxiao finished the entire 500ml bottle of water, glanced at the listless group, and changed the subject: "Is everything taken care of?"
Xingyan and Tian Mier were fast asleep on either side; Zhong Sang and Cangshu lay slumped to the side, looking utterly drained.
Kagome, pale-faced, nodded from her wheelchair: "Yes, everything that could be teleported out has been teleported out. As for whether anything was missed, we don't know."
Even with all their energy, these few individuals could only manage to tear open a special spatial passage within the known secret realms, ensuring that the vast majority of professionals could successfully reach the Black Abyss.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "That's enough. You guys rest first, and we'll talk again when your energy levels have recovered."
Based on the amount of energy consumed by Xingyan and the others, it would normally take them at least half a month to recover.
However, the unexpected happened faster than planned. Amidst the chaos and the lack of proper arrangements for the inner realm professionals, news came that Modrat City (one of the three major cities of the Black Abyss) had been destroyed.
A few days later, Mona City and Blackcoll City were once again besieged by an endless stream of corrupted beasts.
Xingyan and the others could only grit their teeth and force themselves to recover 20% of their energy, taking turns to go outside the city to assist the defense forces, kill the wild gods, and clear out the powerful polluted beasts.
The Dragon Kingdom professionals and professionals from other countries who joined Mona City had no time to mourn the loss of their homes or lament the harsh living conditions in the Black Abyss.
Aside from the children, the elderly, and those skilled in life skills who lacked combat ability, everyone was forced into the role, stumbling and staggering behind the resistance army, to help clear out the polluted beasts outside the city.
Professionals who have reached level 7 or above will go to the front lines with the resistance forces.
Those below the seventh job advancement level were assigned to logistics, shuttling between the front lines and Mona City.
Those below the sixth rank stay in the city and assist with secretarial work such as arranging accommodation.
A dozen days later, news came from the direction of Blackcoll City that Mishu had been seriously injured by Nuenro.
When Lin Xiaoxiao and the others arrived, Mishu was covered in injuries and was struggling to clear out the polluted beast gang outside the city. His heart had developed a fist-sized hole. He only fainted when he saw the reinforcements arrive.
When Mishu woke up again, he was lying in his roughly decorated room, looking somewhat flustered at Ina sitting on the edge of the bed with tears in her eyes.
He reached out his large hand and touched Ina's cheek, chuckling softly in a hoarse voice: "Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you cry."
Tears welled up in Ina's eyes, threatening to fall, but she kept a cold expression, dodging Mishu's large hand that was about to caress her, as if to say, "I don't want to talk to you."
Mishu could have avoided getting hurt, but in order to protect the innocent civilians in Hegel City behind him, he endured dozens of skill attacks from Nuenro.
Caught off guard, he had his heart and divine core ripped out by Nuenro during the battle.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood at the foot of the bed with her arms crossed, expressionless, and said in a deep voice, "Mishu, rest first. We'll discuss things further once you've recovered."
Mishu smiled wryly. He understood the meaning behind Lin Xiaoxiao's words: she wanted him to withdraw from the front lines of the battle against the army of polluted beasts.
Without the divine core, his combat power plummeted to only 30% of its original strength. If he were to encounter Nuenro again, he would probably be nothing more than easy prey.
Late at night, Mishu was all alone in his room, while everyone else was resting.
Nuenro visited again, emerging from the teleportation vortex. He was dressed in a magnificent silver-white suit, and the black veins on his face had taken up a third of his entire face, making him look remarkably like a sinister male ghost.
He walked to Mishu's bedside, his gaze fixed on Mishu lying on the bed, a gentle smile on his face.
Mishu slowly lifted his eyelids, looking at the inexplicably appearing Nuenro. He lazily put his hands behind his head, drooping his eyelids as he looked at him and sneered, "What are you doing here? Isn't it enough that you took the God Core?"
Nuenro pulled a handkerchief from his inner pocket, pressed it to his mouth, coughed heavily several times, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, folded the handkerchief stained with black blood, and stuffed it back into his pocket.
His breathing was heavy, and he chuckled, "Mishu, as long as you come with me, I'll return the God Core to you immediately."
Mishu gave a mocking smile: "Go with you? Are you crazy, or am I? Don't forget, we're enemies."
Nuenro's throat itched, and he suppressed the urge to cough, smiling gently: "Mishu, you and I have never been enemies. If I wanted you dead, you wouldn't be alive to this age."
Mishu stuck out his tongue and pressed it against the soft flesh inside his mouth, his tone mocking: "Oh, then I really have to thank you for sparing my life, Mr. Nuenro."
This "Mr. Nu Enlu" was particularly sarcastic and unpleasant.
Nuenro was used to Mishu's sarcastic remarks and chuckled helplessly, "Mishu, you are my only son. As your father, I still hope you are the best for me."
If Mishu weren't his son, Artums would have crushed the brat to dust long ago, before Mishu even reached the ninth level.
After all, as a representative of high combat power, once the God of War's agent is promoted to demigod, even it would be extremely difficult for Atums, a peak demigod, to suppress him.
Mishu's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Nuenro, and he roared, "Get out! Who's your son? Get out!"
Perhaps the noise from this room was a bit too loud, because soon, chaotic footsteps could be heard outside the door.
Seeing this, Nuenro sighed helplessly, took out Mishu's divine core from his spatial storage, and tossed it into the air.
The divine core, now a dark red color, flew directly toward the large hole in Mishu's heart, like an iron block attracted by a magnet.
After entering Mishu's body, the divine core transformed back into a heart, quickly repairing the wounds on his body. In no time, the wound on his chest was completely healed.
Nuenro waved his hand, and a black teleportation vortex appeared. He left with only the words, "I'll come back for you in a while, Mishu," before departing.
Not long after Nuenro left, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others arrived. When they saw Mishu, who had recovered, their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Only Lin Xiaoxiao, with one hand stroking her chin, observed Mishu with a scrutinizing gaze, who was looking around but not answering the question: why the divine core returned to his body.
It seems that the rumors found a long time ago are very likely true: Nuenro and Mishu are father and son, and Mishu's mother is very likely the former agent of the God of Harvest, and the only lover Nuenro has ever acknowledged over the years - Norya.
Having roughly guessed what might have happened, Lin Xiaoxiao's wariness towards Mishu instantly escalated from level five to level ten.
Xingyan and Kagome were clearly aware of the rumor, and their wariness of Mishu instantly reached its peak.
Mishu also keenly sensed the wariness of Lin Xiaoxiao, Xingyan, and Kagome. He just smiled wryly and didn't try to analyze it. He planned to show through his actions that he and Nuenro had no relationship whatsoever, and if there was any relationship, it would only be an adversarial one.
Nuenro, strolling through the streets of Blackcoll City, was relaxed and refined. He chuckled softly in a voice only he could hear, "My silly son, once the seed of doubt is planted, it cannot be easily removed. Doubt and wariness will lead to internal division."
Suddenly, a dirty figure with tangled hair reached out and stopped Nu Enlu. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Last night, you were the one who said you could help me fulfill my wish?"
Nuenro was taken aback at first. As an ally of the God of Greed, he had an obligation to carry out what He had done. He chuckled and agreed: "Yes."
...
A foul-smelling wind swept through the Black Abyss, not only making people feel nauseous and disgusted, but also obscuring certain clandestine transactions.
In a mountain of corpses within the polluted S zone, Cheng Yu, dressed in a tattered red dress, slowly opened her eyes from her sleeping coffin after receiving a message from the black mist, her face grim.
She kicked the inner edge of the coffin with some irritation. The mountain of corpses pressing on the coffin split in two automatically, like seawater being cut open, creating a 2-meter-wide path.
As the coffin lid was flung open with a 'pa', Cheng Yu slowly sat up from the left, roaring angrily, "aa—"
The corpses, piled up like inanimate objects, opened their scarlet eyes, mechanically rose, lined up, and stood obediently waiting.
A moment later, Cheng Yu sat on a chair carried by four high-level pollutants, directing the billions of corpses behind her as they headed towards Mona City.
In another S district, there is a dilapidated city inhabited by former chosen ones of God, now illegal immigrants.
The city's leaders also received orders from the black mist, directing the stowaways to drive away the high-level pollutants and polluted beasts around the city and head towards Mona City.
They even used divine cores to lure several demigod-level wild gods towards the city of Mona.
The mission they received was to capture Lin Xiaoxiao, the agent of the Goddess of Fortune, and deliver her to the God of Greed.
Upon returning to his secret base, Nuenro did not touch the collection in his laboratory.
Instead, they released the special experimental subjects from the dungeon—more than 6,000 high-level contaminated beasts and a low-level wild god—and sent them to attack Mona City to capture the lucky darling.
Back in Mona City, Lin Xiaoxiao, along with Xiao Weizhi, Ge Wei, Xingyan, and others, laid various props and traps in circles outside the city to prepare for the upcoming battle.
A great battle is about to break out. Both sides know that this battle can only have one winner; it's either you die or I perish.
Five days later, all the professionals from the Black Abyss and the Inner Realm retreated to the city walls, which had been reinforced with several layers of protection. Standing on the walls, they listened to the footsteps that kept coming from the darkness in the distance, growing louder and louder.
Standing on the city wall, Lin Xiaoxiao held a specially made night vision telescope in her hand, looking at the densely packed corpses, pollutants, wild gods, stowaways, and polluted beasts that were still dozens of kilometers away.
Her eyes were indifferent yet filled with obvious killing intent; given the sheer number of enemies, it seemed this was going to be a protracted battle.
Xingyan, holding a pair of night vision goggles, gasped, "This quantity is enough to make my scalp tingle."
Lin Xiaoxiao put away her binoculars and sneered, "Once you're numb from hitting them, the numbness will stop."
As the enemy drew closer to the city walls, the golden light emanating from Lin Xiaoxiao's hand grew increasingly intense. She raised her hand and waved it towards the sky, unleashing over a dozen enormous golden fireworks that exploded and transformed into a fine rain of gold that fell to the ground.
[Lin Xiaoxiao, the agent of Lady Luck, bestows a blessing upon all professionals in Mona City, granting them a triple experience buff (for one month): Professionals with this buff will gain triple experience upon slaying enemy corrupted beasts/corrupted entities.]
Xingyan also bestowed a blessing:
[Time Goddess's Agent - Star Banquet, bestows a blessing upon all professionals in Mona City, granting them a protective buff (one month): Professionals with this buff will have their defense increased by 10%, their immunity to contamination increased by 10%, and their resistance to attacks increased by 10%]
Kagome followed suit and also bestowed a blessing:
[Kagome, the agent of the goddess of fate, bestows a blessing upon all professions in Mona City, granting them a recovery buff (for one month): Professions with this buff will have their health regeneration speed increased by 10%, mana regeneration speed increased by 10%, and skill cooldown reduction increased by 10%]
The buffs provided by the three individuals injected a powerful boost into the already somewhat fearful professionals.
Those professionals looked at the approaching enemies from afar, their eyes no longer filled with fear, but with fanaticism—a fanaticism for their rapidly increasing strength.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her hand again, and the golden rain of light made even the life-skill professionals who were holed up in the city of Mona consider leaving the city to fight:
[Agent of Lady Luck - Lin Xiaoxiao...]
