Hundreds of jet-black mechs wreaked havoc in the city. Firearms, heavy weapons, and missiles were completely useless against these futuristic armors. In fact, these mechs weren't even fighting with any real intention; the Shadow Magic emanating from their bodies continuously spread outwards, polluting the entire city with its Shadow Magic.

Centered on the building where the blood sacrifice took place, their Shadow Magic permeated the surroundings. The enormous black hole gate stirred once more, and thousands of Thousand-Dimensional Eye rushed out from within, their dark magic interconnected, directly enveloping the city. Barrier: The Shadow Kingdom descended.

Through the efforts of the Thousand-Dimensional Eye, the vision of the Shadow Kingdom was temporarily summoned, forming a temporary domain in the city. The original buildings were shrouded in Shadow Magic and transformed into square tower structures. Adre's magical clouds in the sky were fixed, pouring shadow rain down on the entire city.

Any living being in this city that is touched by the Shadow Rain will be corrupted by the shadows, and their body will begin to become shadowy. Their strength will increase, and a small number may even awaken supernatural abilities. However, the faith of the Shadow Lord will also flow into their bodies along with the power.

Meanwhile, this rainwater will also flow into other cities through rivers and sewers, infecting more people, but because it is not within the barrier, the effect will be much weaker.

After sensing the change in environment, the members of the Shadow Legion's First Battalion transformed into black smoke and flew out of their armored vehicles. Their strength was no less than that of the armored vehicles, and in some cases, it was even greater. However, due to environmental and global factors, they had to pilot armored vehicles to maintain their combat effectiveness.

Now that the temporary domain of the Shadow Kingdom has been established, although it cannot compare to the dense shadow environment inside the Shadow Kingdom, they can unlock their full power here and receive additional bonuses.

The black smoke floated in the sky and then reformed into their original forms. Before completing their transformation into shadows, most of them were human, but a small number were alien life forms from other worlds.

When you reach the third level of semi-shadowing, you can start choosing a path. Nowadays, there are many related career recommendations on the Shadow Network. From the initial path of only Shadow Warrior and Shadow Mage, it has been thoroughly subdivided into hundreds of different careers, such as Shadow Assassin, Shadow Spellcaster, Shadow Soldier, Bloodline Wizard, Mechanic, and so on.

Of course, if you're interested, you can learn all the interesting skills recommended by these career knowledge Shadow Network. As long as you can build your own system, you can create a career.

For example, one of the shadow archers used Shadow Magic to materialize his longbow. He drew the bowstring, and the Shadow Magic automatically formed an arrow. He squinted at the fleeing and hiding humans, and released the arrow. Because of the unique spell he created, the arrow connected with the target's shadow the moment it was released, making it truly inseparable from the target.

The human was running in panic, but the next moment his feet seemed to be stopped by something, and he fell to the ground. When he looked back, he saw a black arrow stuck in his shadow.

No matter how he moved, he couldn't move an inch. What made him even more desperate was that his shadow, as if activated by an arrow, began to sway on the ground. After absorbing a large amount of black rain, it solidified completely, turning into jet-black tentacles that enveloped him. No matter how much he struggled, his personality was replaced by the shadow personality, and the black arrow Integration into his body, making this newborn shadow monster under the control of the Shadow Archer.

In less than half a day, the entire city was completely dominated by the Shadow Legion. There were zero casualties. The surviving humans were either transformed into shadow monsters by the Legion or infected by the shadows and began to become shadow-like.

"Is a nuclear strike coming?" Adre squinted. The technology of the Thousand-Dimensional Eye far surpasses that of this world. If necessary, it could instantly take over the entire network of this world. However, this world is not particularly powerful, and getting the Thousand-Dimensional Eye's help would require consuming contribution points. For example, setting up the temporary domain of the Shadow Kingdom this time used 1,000 of Adre's own private funds.

Therefore, Adre this time is more for training. In the future, when facing various worlds and forces, the technological power of the Thousand-Dimensional Eye may not be able to provide assistance.

"That's right. After confirming some intelligence here, the US nuclear strike has been launched and will arrive in 30 seconds. If we need the Thousand-Dimensional Eye to intercept it, we'll need 50 contribution points." Adre's auxiliary communication device revealed this information.

"No need, I have a better idea! Help me gather the mage corps!" Adre squinted, and the message was transmitted instantly. In less than ten seconds, hundreds of plumes of black smoke drifted from afar to the rooftop of the building.

The light screen flickered, revealing a nuclear warhead hurtling towards them. This attack would destroy the entire city. The Shadow Perfectors might survive thanks to their various abilities, but the Shadow Monsters they had transformed into would likely be reduced to ashes by the nuclear warhead's light and heat.

Intercepting a nuclear warhead wouldn't be difficult for them. With magic, they could instantly change the material state of the nuclear warhead, preventing it from detonating. After all, even a nuclear warhead poses no threat before it explodes; a petrification spell can turn the entire warhead into stone.

Although this scientific weapon is powerful, its protective measures against the mystical are not very strong. For these spellcasters, such an attack is simply a matter of being careful to prevent it from exploding.

"I have an idea," Adre said to the hundred-odd mages. "A nuclear explosion produces a large amount of light, heat, and radiation. Under normal circumstances, these things suppress shadows, but!" The Shadow Dome of the Holy City gave us the best revelation: light can also be transformed into shadow!

"The nuclear warhead will arrive in ten seconds!" the Thousand-Dimensional Eye announced the time, "Ten, nine, eight..."

"We joined forces and cast a reversal spell to completely transform the light and heat of the nuclear bomb into shadow. Then, we merged the shadow with the radiation and spread it throughout the world, causing shadow distortion across the entire world and accelerating the spread of the shadow."

Adre's figure flashed and transformed into black mist, arriving at the top of the barrier along with hundreds of other mages. There they saw the nuclear warhead flying towards them in the distance.

Hundreds of mages unleashed countless Shadow Magic, forming a powerful transformation spell. At the instant the nuclear bomb exploded, it converted all the light and heat, which, along with the radiation, spread outwards, initiating distortions and mutations on the shadow level.

Strange things began to happen. Shadow Power surged into the distant tree, causing green leaves to fall and branches to grow longer. Finally, the entire tree stood up and transformed into a deformed monster.
