The Root of the Beast Tide

The men at the scene were dumbfounded.

Consciousness Tattoo... can this really be used for visualization?

But before them stood eight enormous figures, each comparable to a skyscraper, with bizarre shapes and faces, exuding a terrifying aura.

Moreover, they are arranged in a row.

Judging by this, are they going to protect the city?

"I know, that's Satan! The master of Hell!"

"That's Abaddon, King of Pestilence!"

"That Mostima, rumor has it he's an alien who fell into Hell!"

"These are... the Lord of Hell and the Seven Demon Kings!"

There seemed to be someone at the scene who was well-versed in Western demonology, and even he couldn't believe that those legendary beings were now appearing before him in their 'true form'.

The hearts of everyone present trembled violently.

This is outrageous!

At this moment, the way they looked at Qin Yiguan underwent a tremendous change.

This No. 1036 is definitely not something we know!

At this moment, Qin Yiguan had no intention of arguing with these ordinary people, but instead gazed at the surging beast tide in the distance.

Those animals were all conventional species in people's minds, but they seemed to have undergone some adjustments, with their size and ferocity increased by at least 500%. They also seemed to have lost all reason, possessing only endless bestiality.

That's strange.

Within this Metaverse No. 012, there are no Experimental Zone, only Beast Zone.

The animals in the Beast Zone are so ferocious and mad that they periodically destroy human cities.

This level of 'setting' shouldn't be something a villain could achieve, right?

This sounds a lot like something Gemini Superbrain would do...

Qin Yiguan frowned slightly. My guess should be right, no matter how many Metaverse there are, the Gemini Superbrain should always be the sole controller.

The beast tide is upon us.

The men who had been queuing earlier had forgotten how to escape, or rather, no matter where they fled, the result would be the same: their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground.

But then Satan opened his hideous maw, displaying the unmistakable aura of the Lord of Hell. Terrifying sound waves formed visible ripples that spread outwards.

The sound waves stirred up dust on the ground and created a sandstorm.

The ferocious beast horde froze for a second at that roar.

However, the next moment...

The dust that filled the sky suddenly underwent a qualitative change, turning into soil dust and then into black Hell.

Its temperature has no upper limit; its mission is to burn everything to ashes.

In Qin Yiguan's mind, there was a new understanding of Satan's power— 'Hell burns everything, regardless of sin or good; this is Satan's rebellion against God.'

Ahead, within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, wild beasts howled in agony. In the Hell, their fur first turned to ashes, then they died instantly, their entire bodies remaining still, gradually turning into charcoal, and finally being blown away by the heat wave, as if they had never existed.

The beast tides from afar continue to surge endlessly.

But Qin Yiguan wanted to travel far away to see the root of this beast tide.

The CHP4 left behind by Boss Meng suddenly flashed in his mind, and the [Time Lag Syndrome] was activated. Time around him became extremely slow. Qin Yiguan took a step out, but from an outsider's perspective, he appeared directly several kilometers away.

Abaddon, King of Pestilence, activates his power.

Suddenly, countless mosquitoes and flies appeared in the air. Those fierce and lively beasts, who were unharmed one second, began to rot the next. Countless mosquitoes and flies swarmed onto their bodies, laying densely packed eggs. In a short while, the bodies of countless beasts were devoured by the insects, turning into pale white bones that shattered with a crash.

'Plague is not a disaster; it does not circulate among the rich, but rather it is a blessing for the poor, freeing them from suffering.'

This is a description of Abaddon's abilities.

Qin Yiguan moved forward rapidly, unstoppable.

In human cities, many detection devices reported corresponding information, indicating that this beast tide was unstoppable and the B5 Sector Mirage City was destined to perish.

But unbelievably...

The surveillance footage shows...

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy dressed in black, accompanied by eight demon gods of unknown origin, traveled upstream against the current, and the boundless beast tide gradually diminished as he advanced.

Rumors circulate that these eight demon gods came from Hell, and that the boy also came from Hell.

"Nonsense!"

In the Multiverse 012, Lu Zun, commander of B5 Sector, slammed his fist on the table. "This world doesn't have Hell, and there are no gods or demons. That boy must be some kind of powerful Reality Enhancement."

"But."

Lu Zun touched his empty right arm, which was injured during his last battle against the beast tide. In this universe, Lu Zun was a righteous man who wholeheartedly protected the people and was not afraid of death.

He asked worriedly, "We've launched so many large-scale weapon attacks, yet we haven't been able to wipe out the beast tide. Can this boy really face it alone?"

Eighty thousand kilometers deep in the Beast Zone.

Qin Yiguan seemed to have seen the root of the beast tide.

This is not some hidden canyon, nor some plain teeming with wild beasts.

This is a gray ground.

A huge metal base stands on the ground, and at the top of the base is a glass globe that emits a pale blue luster.

Whenever that sphere flashes blue light.

A blue ripple then slowly spread out.

Then, countless powerful wild beasts will appear on the vast, empty land all around.

These beasts were incredibly ferocious from birth, charging towards the city.

Of course, with Satan and the seven demon kings blocking their way, these beasts couldn't go anywhere.

Qin Yiguan was somewhat shocked, "A sphere that creates countless ferocious beasts, so these beasts are 'digital beasts'?"

immediately.

Qin Yiguan looked into the distance and saw swarms of wild beasts charging towards them from the horizon.

"And."

"There's more than one of these glass spheres. Deep within the Beast Zone, there are other spheres standing tall—maybe two, maybe one, maybe an endless number."

"This is just the first 'manufacturing point'?"

No matter how powerful Satan's forces are, these beasts are inexhaustible.

Qin Yiguan couldn't help but have some questions.

Is this actually the behavior of the Gemini Superbrain?

Or is this a conspiracy by some evil organization?

Otherwise, what would be the motive behind the Gemini Superbrain doing this?

Qin Yiguan clenched his fist slightly, approached the huge sphere, and just as he raised his hand to touch it.

Suddenly, a gigantic face appeared in the sky. Amidst the roar, it lowered its head slightly like a god, its greyish-white eyes silently watching Qin Yiguan.

Qin Yiguan was horrified.

This face appears whenever the Gemini Metaverse updates.

It... is the embodiment of the Gemini Superbrain.

But then the enormous face slowly opened its mouth.

--'This is not a rule you can break.'

The next moment.

The ground seemed to transform into a conveyor belt, and Qin Yiguan and Satan's group were rapidly retreated by the movement of the ground. Qin Yiguan's finger was getting further and further away from the giant crystal ball.

The feeling was like falling, only horizontal, backward.

The scenery on both sides rushed past.

This speed is even faster than the onset of [Time Lag Syndrome].

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yiguan stood on the edge of the Mirage City.

Behind them were the men who had been queuing earlier, their faces still showing expressions of terror.

Before Qin Yiguan, Satan had completely slaughtered this beast tide.

Someone behind them realized what was happening and cheered, "This beast tide has been repelled! We're safe, at least for the time being!"

"No. 1036 is awesome! You saved us all!"

"From now on, you'll be number one in this tattoo line forever!"
