Feng Luan After listening, I just felt that breathing became a little difficult.
World-Class Wanted Boss No matter how strong it is, there are limits, and those beings obviously have no limits.
Cradle's tone became distant and he continued to talk:
"As for those indescribable beings that stand above all rules, the reason why they are terrifying is not because of their high force value, but because they are rules themselves."
"... But they only appear in legends..." Feng Luan had doubts in his heart.
Cradle shook his head slightly and explained carefully:
"Those beings have always been in legends, not because they have any limitations or any love for civilization."
"It's just that there is nothing worthy of their action."
Feng Luan couldn't help but feel a little silent. Those bad guesses actually came true, and those terrifying existences were already ready to make a move.
She quickly noticed something was wrong, "Since those existences are invisible, why is Princess...?"
"There is no special reason, she is just hiding her identity." Cradle spread his hands:
"As for why we need to hide our identities, I naturally have no way of knowing what those gods are thinking."
Feng Luan feels like his head is a little heavy, and he must share this information as soon as possible.
When Stalker's strategy announcement resounded around the world, this unprecedented disaster finally reached a real turning point.
Great Xia, Huijing.
On the dilapidated streets, the surviving people helped each other to stand up from the rubble.
Some people looked at the good news popping up one after another on the terminal, suddenly threw away the weapons in their hands, and laughed up to the sky.
"We win! We win!"
"War God was defeated, but senior Xia Yuan took care of that monster!"
"Evernight City All eight bosses over there have been conquered! More than a dozen bosses!"
"Look at the global announcement, even Stalker is dead! The monster tide is about to recede!"
"Really or not?!"
Cheers spread from street to street, from city to city.
Pacific Ocean Defense Line, the defenders who were originally overwhelmed by the monsters suddenly found that the legions on the sea began to collapse in disorder.
Without the unified command of World-Class Wanted Boss, these low-level monsters are like limbs without brains, and their combat effectiveness has plummeted.
"They're in chaos! The monsters are retreating!"
"Quick! Counterattack now!"
"Don't let them get away!"
"Don't chase the bad guys, we should repair where we are now!"
"That's it. Have you ever heard that a proud soldier will be defeated?!"
"..."
Similar scenes are happening simultaneously on every battlefield around the world.
European United Defense Line, the communication channel was finally no longer filled with desperate pleas for help, but with the sounds of celebration one after another.
On the giant screen at the Spirit Tamer Alliance's global headquarters, the light spots representing the war situations in various places turned from red to yellow;
Then it turns from yellow to green, and finally the green disappears.
The correspondents shed tears while tapping the keyboard to enter the good news into the system one after another.
"West Coast defense line monster density dropped below the safety threshold!"
"Mediterranean Sea area, all Raid Boss confirmed to be cleared!"
"Southeast Islands Defense Line, the monster tide has retreated to the high seas!"
"Antarctic Observatory reports that Deep Sea energy response has returned to zero!"
"..."
Every time news came out, the applause in the command hall became even louder.
Some people hugged each other and cried bitterly, some people slumped on their chairs and exhaled for a long time, and some people picked up the walkie-talkies and repeatedly confirmed each number.
But in this carnival, a few people never relaxed.
Zhao Wenguo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the cup of tea that had already cooled down, looking out the window at the gradually whitening skyline.
"Commander, all fronts are reporting victory." The adjutant came over with unconcealed excitement in his voice:
"The number of monsters is being reduced rapidly, and multiple lines of defense have cleared all monsters in the area."
Zhao Wenguo nodded but did not speak.
Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of dignity that could not be seen by others.
Winning, this is a fact.
But winning is too risky.
If Xia Yuan hadn't single-handedly held the core battlefield of Evernight City...
If his clones hadn't supported all fronts at the same time...
Can humans really survive today?
"Commander Zhao?" The adjutant noticed his silence.
Zhao Wenguo shook his head slowly. "Nothing, notify the logistics department and start counting the losses."
"Yes." The adjutant immediately followed the order.
Zhao Wenguo turned around and returned to the command podium. Looking at the dense data on the big screen, he only had one thought in his mind:
This time the monster didn't get what it wanted, but what about next time?
What will they send next time?
No one knows.
Nick stood on the edge of the rooftop, watching the colorful mist gradually dissipating in the distance.
"Gotham is saved." The adjutant came from behind, his voice filled with relief and exhaustion.
Nick did not look back, but simply said, "Notify all departments to start post-war reconstruction."
He lowered his head and glanced at the communicator in his hand. The screen displayed real-time battle conditions in various war zones around the world.
There are more and more green light spots, and less and less red ones.
Nick added, "Let the intelligence agencies continue to operate without stopping for a moment."
"Understood." The adjutant didn't ask any more questions.
At the same moment, Evernight City beach.
The sky turned white, and the first ray of morning light penetrated the smoke and spiritual aftermath of the night, and shone on the devastated Beach.
Xia Yuan hangs in mid-air, wearing a blue shirt and a long sword, bathed in the golden morning light.
That scene was recorded by countless people's terminals and witnessed by countless pairs of eyes.
The blue clothes fluttered in the morning breeze, and the long sword hung by his side. The clear light flowing on the sword complemented the rising sun.
He landed slowly, and when his green shirt hit the ground, not even a trace of dust was raised.
Mo Shiyu stood there, watching Xia Yuan walking step by step, and the nerves that had been tense all night finally relaxed a little.
Xia Yuan walked up to her, raised his right hand, and his palm shimmered.
The four figures of Saber's clone, Saitama's clone, Gilgamesh's clone, and Madara's clone turned into flowing light at the same time and disappeared into his body.
The implication of this action is obvious: the battle is over.
Mo Shiyu looked at Xia Yuan, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "Xia Yuan... is the battle over?"
Xia Yuan looked at her and said calmly, "It's over, at least for now, it's over."
Mo Shiyu took a long breath.
If there weren't many people watching around now, she really wanted to sit down on the ground and sleep with him for three days and three nights.
She wiped the dried sweat on her forehead and said, "That's good."
Not far away, the door of the shelter slowly opened.
People lined up and walked out of the underground in an orderly manner.
As soon as someone stepped onto the ground, they were shocked speechless by the sight in front of them--
Beach has completely changed. There are deep pits and rubble everywhere. Bedrock is exposed and crisscrossed with traces left by the intrusion of sea water.
But the sky is bright.
The monster is gone.
People are still alive.
"We... survived?"
"Survived! We all survived!"
"Xia Yuan-senpai... thank you..."
"Xia Yuan-senpai, you are the superhero of the whole world!!"
Some people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, some looked up to the sky and laughed, some hugged the people around them tightly, and some stared blankly at Sky Manipulation...
Xia Yuan sheathed his sword and glanced at the distant horizon. "Spirit Tamer Alliance should issue a global notification soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's terminals vibrated at the same time.
[Spirit Tamer Alliance Global Notification]
[In this global synchronized invasion event, the main threat has been eliminated.]
[All World-Class Wanted Boss are confirmed to have been conquered or retreated.]
[The tide of monsters is in full decline.]
[Humanity, defeated the monster and defeated Abyss.]
A few simple lines of words made the whole world boil again.
"I won! I really won!"
"Humanity defeated the monster!"
"From today on, history will be rewritten!"
"Monsters have destroyed so many bosses, and the remaining bosses are no longer worthy of fear!"
"What I am certain of is that the situation between humans and monsters will begin to reverse from today!"
"Great changes unseen in a century are really coming!!"
"Xia Yuan-senpai! Xia Yuan-senpai! Xia Yuan-senpai!"
"..."
Cheers spread from one city to another, from one continent to another.
But after the joy, the cruelty of reality soon surfaced.
Spirit Tamer Alliance The atmosphere in the high-rise conference room has changed from carnival to solemn.
The intelligence officer's voice was a little hoarse, "The statistical results are out. All war zones have suffered varying degrees of losses."
On the big screen, shocking pictures and data flashed one after another.
The damage to the city, the number of casualties, the extent of infrastructure damage...
"Major super cities have been seriously damaged and many urban areas need to be rebuilt."
"Gotham City central area disappeared, recovery work will take at least three months."
"Evernight City Beach and the surrounding area are completely destroyed and need to be replanned."
"Three bases on the Pacific Ocean defense line were destroyed and two were seriously damaged."
"Europe Each member state has suffered varying degrees of damage..."
"..."
Every piece of data is like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.
Winning, but the price is not small.
The person in charge of the medical department stood up and said, "The number of wounded in various war zones is still being counted, with a preliminary estimate of 100,000..."
The conference room was quiet for a moment.
This is only the statistics of Contract Spirit Master and the military. If civilians are included...
No one dared to think any further.
The intelligence officer's voice became deeper, "In addition, there is a more urgent problem."
Everyone's eyes were focused.
"The case of UR Contract Spirit."
The air in the conference room suddenly solidified.
"It is currently confirmed that Rain God was defeated in the battle with the Deep Sea, and his life and death are unknown."
"War God lost a deadly battle with Stalker off the coast of Huijing. The core signal disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Doctor lost contact in the laboratory, and the last communication record showed that it encountered an unknown enemy."
"Angel disappeared after the battle with Demon and has been unable to be contacted to this day."
"After Owlman solved Pierrot by Gotham City, communication was interrupted and we are currently unable to contact you."
A series of names, each of which is the top combat power of human civilization.
"The Contract Spirit Master team has set off and is fully searching for the whereabouts of the missing UR Contract Spirit."
The intelligence officer added, "But there is no news yet."
"Keep searching. Whatever it takes."
"Yes."
Imaginary Space.
There is no sky or earth here, only endless Sea of Illusions and Distorted Geometric Patterns.
In the endless silver-white sea water, a holy figure is swimming forward.
Her long skirt has been soaked by the sea water, and her long golden hair is spread out in the sea water, like floating jellyfish.
Every stroke was extremely difficult, and every inch of progress required a huge amount of energy.
Behind her, a vague figure was floating above the sea, looking at her quietly.
The man's voice was ethereal and distant, "Holy Maiden, you no longer belong to this world, why are you still insisting on returning?"
Saintess didn't look back, just gritted his teeth and continued swimming forward.
"I hear... someone is calling my name... I have to go back!"
The man sighed and slowly raised his hands.
A strange force surged out from his palm, and the sea water surged up instantly, turning into a huge whirlpool and wrapping Saintess.
Saintess was swept back to the starting point, and all the efforts just now were in vain.
She finally turned her head and said with anger, "Prophet, you don't have much life left, how long are you going to stop me?"
The person known as Prophet shook his head slightly, "It has nothing to do with vitality, this is just my mission."
Saintess was silent for a moment, then turned his head again and continued to swim forward.
Imaginary Space fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of the sea water and the unyielding paddling of the figure.
Kunlun Academy.
When the last monster was reduced to ashes in the pale blue Cursed Technique, the whole square erupted in cheers.
Teachers and students rushed out from behind the bunker, shouting and cheering.
"Win! All the monsters have been destroyed!"
"Xia Yuan senior is too strong!"
"That's a clone. He actually defended the entire academy and city by himself!?"
"Is this the strength of UR Contract Spirit... it's so terrifying!"
"No, that is the clone of senior Xia Yuan. To be precise, it is senior Xia Yuan."
"No matter what, we survived!"
"Senior Xia Yuan is the strongest Contract Spirit!!!"
"..."
Amidst the cheers, Satoru Gojo stood in the center of the square, with his hands in his trouser pockets and a lazy smile in his eyes.
He looked around, looking at the people who had survived the disaster, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"You are so high-spirited, senior Xia Yuan!" someone shouted at him.
Satoru Gojo clone smiled and was about to return.
Suddenly, the smile on his face faltered slightly.
Something's wrong, it's too quiet.
The monster's voice disappeared.
The cheers of the people also disappeared.
He turned his head sharply and found that the scene around him was changing.
The monster disappeared.
Contract Spirit, which was in combat, also disappeared.
Not far away, a dark figure was standing quietly.
The figure had no features, no face, no outline, just like a cut-out piece of black night.
Satoru Gojo clone narrowed his eyes, Six Eyes was running at full speed.
But no matter how he looked at it, that figure was just pitch black in his field of vision.
Six Eyes can see through all Cursed Technique and the flow of spiritual power, but it is completely ineffective in front of this figure.
This alone is enough to confirm:
The opponent's strength is terrifyingly strong.
The entire space seemed to be covered with an inexorable haze, the light became dim, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Satoru Gojo's clone slowly took his hands out of his trouser pockets, and put on that iconic confident smile again.
"Oh, I also met a big fish at the end. I'm really lucky."
The Black Shadow was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "I heard that you are the strongest Contract Spirit."
Black Shadow took a step forward, and the space trembled.
"What a coincidence. I used to be called the strongest creature."
Then, some invisible pressure suddenly came.
That is not spiritual pressure, not Domain Suppression, but something more essential.
It seems as if the rules of the entire world are tilting towards that Black Shadow.
"The strongest creature... is a bit interesting." Satoru Gojo clone's pale blue eyes flashed with excitement.
He raised his right hand and raised his index finger, his tone always calm.
"Let me state in advance that you are the challenger."
Black Shadow did not respond, but slowly raised his hand.
The next second, the two figures moved at the same time.
The pale blue light and the dark power collided crazily in the gray space, erupting into a dazzling flash of light.
In the first round of the fight, Satoru Gojo's clone's pupils shrank slightly.
No, this person is trying to defeat me!!
That dark power actually had a natural suppressive effect on his Cursed Technique.
Limitless Technique was delayed, the blue light was swallowed up, and even Six Eyes's prediction became blurry.
But the Satoru Gojo clone did not flinch. The only way to deal with the enemy was to fight to the end.
With his hands Hand Seals, blue light spurted out from his body.
"Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void!"
The boundless torrent of information instantly filled the entire space, swallowing everything up.
At the same time, Black Shadow also expanded its field.
The moment the two realms collided, the gray space was torn into countless fragments.
I don't know how long it took.
Maybe it's one second, maybe it's ten thousand years.
When the light dissipates and the space becomes stable again.
Satoru Gojo's clone was lying on the ground, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the light in his blue eyes was much dimmed.
Black Shadow stood in front of him, looking down condescendingly.
"What is the strongest Contract Spirit, nothing more than this."
"You are just a mortal who was born in a time when I didn't exist."
