Chapter 1255: Chapter 846: Upheaval (Part 2)

"We still need to constantly focus on purification, otherwise just piling things up there is a source of pollution, and who knows what kind of ghostly things might breed?"

"At least... we’ve fucking survived."

The Night Watcher Warriors leaned heavily back, their gaze vacant, staring at the sky tainted an ominous dark purple-red hue, as if the twisted colors themselves were wounded.

"Did you see how the Master of Ripping fled at the end? Ha! A so-called God, after Lord Kana twisted his arm, ran away more miserably than a Magma Dog with its tail stepped on!

"Beautifully done! Just for that thrill, I’d go through this scene again today and still accept it!" He panted, trying to move his injured right hand but tugged at the wound, grimacing and hissing in pain.

"Tss... though the cost was indeed harsh. Quite a few brothers went down, the walls are like sieves... not to mention this messed up territory."

The Avenger was silent for a moment, the dark red patterns deep in his eyes seemed to dim, as if recalling the sacrifice of some comrades.

He finally cursed the Abyss’s filth softly, then viciously kicked a broken demon horn at his feet, producing a dull sound.

"Surviving... gives us the chance to make those damned things pay a greater price. At least now..."

He looked up, gazing toward the direction of the fortress core, "Lord Venerable is truly here this time. As long as he’s here, this broken place... won’t collapse!"

The numbness brought by perpetual war.

Upon seeing change in the Blood Battle Battlefield, unchanged for millennia, especially positive change, they were overjoyed.

They chatted like this for a while.

The two of them stopped speaking, silently resting, watching the weary soldiers stagger across the battlefield filled with eerie colors and cold crystal glow, accompanied by dangerous demon corpses and shattered earth.

In the distant sky, the remaining spatial ripples occasionally flickered faintly, like enormous unhealed scars, silently narrating the thrilling divine-level collision that had just occurred.

The relief of surviving a catastrophe intertwined with deep-rooted exhaustion, spreading in the strange, oppressive post-battle scene.

Yet the shadow of a new wave of magical tide seemed to have already lurked behind the putrid stench emitted by those corpses.

Still within the Blood Pit Fortress.

Kana arrived here again after a long absence, sitting at his place.

Raelia and others were seated in different directions in the conference room.

They weren’t overseeing the aftermath outside.

Nor needed to oversee it.

Consider the nature of this place, where Abyssal War never ceases, since the Blood Pit Fortress was established here it has never stopped.

Combat follows combat, demons follow demons.

Perhaps Raelia and others previously needed to oversee the situation, now it’s completely unnecessary. After war ends, the remaining soldiers naturally start processing, it’s already muscle memory.

The Blood Pit Fortress began assimilating into the Blood Battle Battlefield.

Fortunately, it’s only been a year or two, not enough to make people feel numb.

Now it’s barely finding stability.

At this moment, the other people in the conference room weren’t focused here at all, they all called up their interfaces, constantly checking information in the channels.

The information they were checking was naturally world-related.

Now most channels were discussing intel related to the Void Vanguard Army invasion.

"So what’s the situation now?"

Raelia asked curiously.

After all, they could only learn through channels, and the communication speed was too fast, making it difficult to ask more, as everyone was busy now.

Kana leaned back in his chair, directly said, "It’s not as chaotic as imagined, the Night Watchers have always had enough ability to keep the Vanguard Army within their landing area.

We don’t lack strength, just lack time, and before I came here, I already secured enough time for them, so there’s no need to worry excessively."

Upon hearing Kana’s words, only then did they nod in relief.

They were all old acquaintances of Kana, in big matters Kana never lied, nor did he say comforting words.

"Honestly, the Vanguard Army’s arrival was faster by a few years than I anticipated."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Kana without objecting or asking anything, as Kana’s Prophetic Vision reputation was long deeply ingrained.

Not to mention, they were close people, roughly knowing the situation of Kana’s prophecy.

It wasn’t real-time prophecy, but understanding much information unknown to others.

Kana calculated the current time.

If calculated according to game time, now it should be the end of the second expansion pack, the start of 2.5 Chapter, namely the connection period between the second and third expansion packs.

The main event of this period is the Plague of Rats.

And now the Evil Rats are gone, not even ashes remain.

From the third expansion pack onward, is when the counterattack horn sounds.

Players and NPCs began collaborating, targeting and battling those Evil Gods cooperatively, clearing them all the way till directly facing the Void.

The Vanguard Army roughly appears in the latter half of the third Chapter.

Far off from the present.

But reality has evidently changed, yet regarding this point Kana was long indifferent, he never intended to follow the story.

The so-called Prophetic Vision, for Kana was never about the game’s information and understanding merely broadening his horizon.

The hidden information and places, the treasures buried in those information places, and the world’s overall situation.

This is Kana’s true Golden Finger.

Plotlines or whatever, were meaningless from the beginning.

Because from the start Kana altered the storyline.

Thinking carefully why at the current stage the Void Vanguard Army invaded, it can be entirely attributed to the Four Gods.

What is the purpose of the Four Gods?

Trying to harvest the fallen power, faith, and talent they want from the world during the Void’s full invasion phase.

Then slipping away quickly upon the Void’s arrival.

Meaning that Void and the Evil Gods are inherently opposing.

Though Evil Gods don’t want to provoke the Void, they would naturally show no mercy to the Vanguard Army.

Under normal circumstances, if the Vanguard Army invaded during this time frame, corresponding to the game’s plot back then, this stage would be the world’s most chaotic time.

Then the Vanguard Army’s arrival and invasion would just accelerate the world’s ruin, which the Four Gods couldn’t tolerate, with ruin happening too fast and deaths too many, they might not gain more benefits.

Hence they likely united to block the Vanguard Army, extending their arrival time by quite a bit.

In a sense, still a good deed, although starting from a bad motive.

At this moment, Abis checked the information in the channels, roughly sorting out the complete situation.

She rubbed her brow, couldn’t help but exhale and sighed, "The Night Watchers’ development is still too slow."

Upon hearing this, Isabella couldn’t help but retort, "Still slow? It’s already very fast. If we became more aggressive, it would only backfire."

Abis sighed helplessly.

This is the problem.

Their expansion speed had already reached an unbelievable level, now also the limit, if accelerating anymore, it would truly touch the nerves of most forces, uniting them in a shared enemy sentiment and fighting internally.

"Though saying this somewhat contradicts the Night Watchers’ philosophy. But the losses and problems caused by the Vanguard Army’s invasion did somewhat help us."

Raelia said.

After she finished speaking, everyone turned towards her.

"What’s the deal?!"

"Hard to imagine, you also start saying things like this now."

Grey Fang who had already spoken fluently couldn’t help expressing the thought in everyone’s heart.

Previously Raelia.

Where to go? Kill who? How much?

Now, she’s able to stand in the perspective she should be in, looking at more problems and broader situations.

"I can grow too! You really look down on people."

Raelia gritted her teeth.

"Let it be, at this stage we just need to do what we should, we’ve already reached our limit of multi-line operations.

"Prior development speed was too fast, has already filled our hearts with anxiety, it’s time to stabilize.

"This is just the Vanguard Army, the real Void invasion is far off, don’t pressure yourselves too much."

Kana murmured, soothing everyone’s emotions.

The world’s end is no longer a possibility.

Their current strength and planning will inevitably leave the necessary fire.

Now the goal is no longer zero, but to secure more on a basis of one.
