At the forefront of the wave.

The vortex of the times has reversed.

The throne, standing at the forefront of the storm, bathed in the devastation of death, was already suspended in mid-air.

On the city wall.

Gunfire erupted, and a mangled body lay on the cold stone, its eyes wide open, staring unblinkingly at the night sky.

As the two figures walked past, one of them seemed to pause for a second.

"Hmm?" Cang Yue looked at Li Chen with some confusion. She could clearly sense that Li Chen's emotions had changed a little. She looked at the corpse lying on the ground that had been dead for a long time, and even the Eerie Monsters were unwilling to eat it.

Simply because the intent of the gun still lingered in that corpse.

The Eerie Monsters were unwilling to eat a thorn, and the corpse's energy was constantly dissipating until it eventually vanished, so none of Eerie Monsters ate it; they all went around it.

Li Chen gripped the umbrella handle but didn't stop, though he still muttered softly, "Lin Hua?"

He hadn't expected to see Lin Hua's body here; it seemed he had died fighting to stop the Eerie Tide.

I just have some feelings about it.

After all, they were once classmates in the same academy and the same class. Now, seeing him die quietly here did indeed cause some changes in Li Chen's emotions.

After all, the Eerie Tide was stirred up by him.

So Lin Hua was just a casualty of this siege.

Cang Yue was puzzled for a moment, but said nothing and continued to follow Li Chen's steps forward.

It stopped right at the city's main entrance.

From here, you can get a perfect view of all the buildings in Huizhou City.

A series of strong winds blew in our faces.

Li Chen's body did not waver in the slightest, and his gaze swept across every corner of the city.

He witnessed everything: the war between humans and Eerie Monsters, the scenes of Eerie Monsters devouring Eerie Monsters, and humans killing each other.

"When the lanterns fade that day, will my final curtain call be the same as theirs?"

"Is fate taking pity on me, or am I defying Fate and going against the tide myself..."

After a long silence...

It was quiet for a long time afterward...

Li Chen slowly raised his hand, and endless Black Mist began to emanate from his body. Behind him, a phantom of Forbidden Door appeared, with the eyes on the gate emitting a red light that illuminated the entire city.

The Eerie Monsters below seemed to have encountered God.

It even spat out the human in its mouth and began to kneel and worship in the direction of Li Chen.

A strange, murmured sound began.

The sound spread to every corner of the city. Many humans, upon hearing this strange sound, instantly experienced dilated pupils and bleeding from their five orifices.

Its body began to rapidly transform into Eerie Monsters.

The Mutation has begun...

The final stage of the siege, and also the terrifying idea proposed by Cang Yue, was to leave no one alive, since humanity had sent reinforcements.

So they turned all the surviving humans into Eerie Monsters, rather than becoming agents to fight their forces, they decided to transform them all into Eerie Monsters.

Disaster struck, and several Eerie Monsters all looked over.

They were unaffected, after all, they were already Eerie Monsters. After this round of cleansing, all that was left in the city were Eerie Monsters and Eerie Monsters that had just transformed from humans.

Cang Yue could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Li Chen, which was still increasing.

But she could also sense that Li Chen's emotions were becoming increasingly strange, as if he were fading from her sight and could disappear at any moment.

Just when she thought it was a hallucination.

Ling floated up, her voice interrupting her thoughts.

"My lord, there is no life left in the city."

"The mission on the disaster side has been successfully completed; we just need to wait for human support to arrive."

Li Chen hummed in response, his eyes utterly calm, yet he stood in the wind, gazing intently at the direction of the rising sun, awaiting the dawn.

Ling walked over to Cang Yue and whispered, "Yue, give me a bag of potato chips!"

I wanted to eat it while I was down there!

Cang Yue rolled her eyes, but still tossed over a packet of snacks to send him away, frowning as she pondered her earlier illusion.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

There are only one or two hours left until dawn.

The Special Affairs Bureau's support is likely arriving in Huizhou City soon, given that Blood Net's support is quite swift.

Otherwise, why would it be called the Blood Net?

Disaster and desire also leaped up, gathering on the city wall.

The disaster leader lowered his head slightly and said, "Lord, shouldn't we deal with those people hiding underground in the central area?"

"That could become a big problem."

Cang Yue frowned and asked, "Didn't those people underground undergo Mutations?"

Zai looked at Cang Yue with cold eyes and said, "No, those people are hiding below. I can't use brute force, because if I did, I would destroy all the previous arrangements, and I'm too lazy to spread the Plague again."

"Moreover, the city is now mostly populated by Mutation humans. Even if human reinforcements arrive, it would be like falling into our trap, my My Lord."

Cang Yue fell into deep thought.

Their plan was meticulously planned, leaving little room for error. To capture the city, they couldn't afford to make a single mistake; failure meant retreating back into the Black Mist.

At that moment, Li Chen's indifferent voice rang out. "A few more lives are nothing; death is the beginning of freedom."

Dawn is breaking.

Amidst the undercurrents of Blood Net.

Order of Justice have been hindered before they even reached Huizhou City, and many Eerie Monsters have been hiding in the underground river for a long time.

Severed limbs and wrecked boats littered the riverbanks, and the unburied corpses of the dead floated on the water.

The blood and water were no longer visible on the pitch-black surface.

A firm, solemn voice came from the ship of Order of Justice.

"Execute them all, leave no one alive!"

"Whether they are traitors or Eerie Monsters, anyone who dares to block our way today will die!"

"The depraved are unforgivable!"

A flaming sword shot into the sky from the ship in an instant, illuminating the entire underground space.

The wall was covered with countless Eerie Monsters.

The angelic woman snorted coldly, flapped her wings, and grasped the flaming sword.

With a "clang".

Countless fiery rings seemed to appear above the ship, and slashes shot out from those rings, instantly attacking the Eerie Monsters.

It only took a few seconds.

Countless more Eerie Monsters corpses appeared on the water's surface.

The stench caused many soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with their hands. Some of the Eerie Monsters released poisonous gas after they died, causing mild poisoning in humans.

This is very disadvantageous in combat.

At this moment, the sound of impacts also began to come from the undercurrent.

Suddenly, a series of dark figures leaped from the underground river onto the deck.

The soldiers also drew their weapons.

The Eerie Monsters has boarded the ship.

We've already encountered so many Eerie Monsters before even reaching Huizhou City. What exactly is the situation in Huizhou City right now?

Many people have this question in their minds.

But they did not back down; instead, they fought with increasing courage, cloaked in the banner of Justice.

"For Justice, we are not afraid to die!"
