Shenhe and the Nether Realm had been in opposition since long ago.
The cause was nothing more than a disagreement over the source of power and understanding.
The Nether Realm believed that death was power. Thus, it spread death far and wide to grow stronger, and civilization after civilization had been destroyed by the Nether Realm's master: Pluto Karl.
Meanwhile, Shenhe Civilization believed that genes were the root of power.
During one of Pluto Karl's preachings within Shenhe Civilization, the Shenhe Civilization Will deemed Pluto Karl a heretical cult that disrespected genes and expelled him from its territory.
From then on, the Nether Realm and Shenhe became mortal enemies.
Today, the Source of Mutation had brought the Water of the Styx into the competition grounds, transforming part of the arena into the Nether Realm.
Pluto Karl would certainly have noticed.
He would never easily let such an opportunity to wound Shenhe Civilization slip away.
In the end, the Nether Realm occupied the entire Dragon's Lair.
The once-normal ground turned into a pitch-black swamp of slime, bubbles endlessly gurgling up from within.
A withered hand stretched out from the swamp.
Soon came a second, then a third...
These were the Nether Realm Death Warriors.
A special form of life that had transcended death.
They could freely shift back and forth between life and death.
A great number of Death Warriors crawled out of the Nether Realm. Smelling Pluto Karl's scent on the Source of Mutation, they did not attack him, instead charging toward other areas.
At that moment, Eye of the Firmament from the Shenhe Civilization Team had already seen everything.
Panic appeared on his face. "This is bad. The Source of Mutation is connected to the Nether Realm. He released the Water of the Styx into the arena!"
"What?" Upon
