"Found it."
Welcome news came from the other end of the Terminal, though the speaker sounded faintly bewildered.
How could they not be bewildered? They had been working themselves to the bone on their research when Director Wu Yan suddenly arrived with someone and took over the Bai Ze Division. After declaring, "Leave Delusion to us," she had taken the existing data and left.
She had also offered an explanation that explained nothing.
"Don't worry. As the sixth seat of the Salvation Hall of Fame and the disciple of Judgment's Slaughter Seat, our combat strength is beyond question. All you need to do now is cooperate with Horizon and intercept the Calamity tide."
The reporting scholar's mouth twitched. This really was not the time to mention that. Who knew why the director of the Bai Ze Division had become a member of the Salvation Hall of Fame?
He just needed to stick to the main points.
"The Scholars' Association requests access to the Present World's defense system to defend against the Calamity tide alongside the Present World Allied Army.
"The latest research findings are already being carried to the battlefield by Wu Yan, director of the Bai Ze Division, and Wen Ling, an auxiliary member of the Social Security Bureau, to interfere with the gateway opened by [Delusion]."
Wu Yan? Hadn't she gone into seclusion?
Xiao Shuo did not dwell on it. This was no time for that. Wei Changming and the others had heard the news too, but their expressions remained grim.
There were simply too many. The Calamity tide surged like a world-ending flood. Worse still, the concentration of Calamity Power was skyrocketing at an inconceivable rate.
Areas that had once seemed safe were gradually becoming contaminated with Calamity Power, turning into places that were no longer secure.
