"Your Excellency, we meet again."
A thunderous sound exploded above the floating Sky Island.
Qin Ze looked up and saw a man with short blond hair and a muscular build standing in the air.
The man was dressed in light golden armor, with a white cloak trailing behind him, and a Lion on each shoulder.
Even through the Shelter Space, Qin Ze could faintly feel the overwhelming pressure emanating from the other party.
The Leo, one of the Twelve Zodiac Signs, is terrifyingly powerful.
"When will you be able to crush the Dark Night Lion King?" the Dharma King joked.
Brother Devour scoffed, "It's only a matter of time."
Qin Ze: "Play it safe and don't be reckless."
"Take it slow, maybe you can outlast him."
Thousand Faces: "Comparing lifespan to that of Level Nine Martial Artist? That's hilarious."
Giant Overlord: "That's not necessarily true. What if Leo gets crushed by the Grand Consul?"
The Mist Lord asked worriedly, "What if the Grand Consul is killed?"
"I think we should be prepared to run away at any time."
Brother Devour sighed, "You can actually trust yourself just this once. You're very strong."
Mist Lord: "It's better to play it safe."
Everyone simply ignored him.
The Grand Consul's expression turned extremely solemn upon seeing the white pillar of light shooting into the sky.
Leo smiled faintly, "The passage between the Abyss and the Otherworld has been completed."
You failed.
How do you feel about such a setback?
The Grand Consul raised his right hand and gently grasped the silver spear in his hand.
"Go and close the portal."
The Grand Consul gave an order to the Law Enforcement behind him.
Immediately, he gripped his spear and faced off against Leo.
The Leo bumped his fists together.
"It's been a long time since I've clashed with the governor."
"I've been so lonely while you were away from the Abyss."
"Let me see today whether you've been slacking off during your time on earth."
The Leo transformed into a golden streak of light and crashed heavily towards the Grand Consul.
The governor thrust his spear, forcing Leo to a stop.
Leo was no pushover either. He slammed a heavy punch into the tip of the spear, briefly knocking it back before quickly turning around and closing the distance while still close to the spear.
The consul quickly holstered his gun and swept it forcefully.
Leo raised his left arm to block, and his right fist unleashed a golden light.
The golden fist energy dissipated instantly before it even reached the governor.
In their first encounter, neither player gained the upper hand.
"Continue!"
Leo curled his lips and leaned closer again with his Iron Mountain Lean.
Meanwhile, Law Enforcement on the ground were also engaged in fierce fighting with members of the Fairness Society.
Unfortunately, there were simply too few Law Enforcement officers; two fists cannot fight four hands.
For a time, they couldn't even leave the floating Sky Island, let alone close the gate.
Virgo ignored the ground Law Enforcement, after all, their annihilation was only a matter of time.
He reached out to the Grand Consul, launching surprise attacks from time to time to keep him busy.
The Grand Consul is even stronger than Qin Ze had anticipated.
Even when facing two opponents, he was not at a disadvantage for the time being.
Can you control Leo?
If you can subdue Leo, the Grand Consul can easily defeat Virgo, and then solo Leo, his chances of winning will undoubtedly increase significantly.
[ Level Nine can't control a single point]
I don't want to say the word "disappointment" anymore.
[...]
Since no one's going to close this door, I'll close it myself.
Qin Ze rushed towards the white beam of light.
As he approached, he discovered that there were hundreds of people guarding the pillar of light.
There was a huge mechanical arm in front of the beam of light.
A dark, gooey object was fixed to one end of the robotic arm.
Qin Ze recognized it at a glance; it was A-1 Nuclear Fusion Battery sample.
The battery has been completely destroyed due to power overload.
No wonder Virgo were so concerned about batteries before.
Qin Ze thought they wanted some technology.
So that's where it was used.
Although he didn't know the specific principle behind it, he was certain that the battery played a crucial role in enabling the portal to open.
Leo laughed loudly as he fought, "Once the door is opened, it cannot be closed manually."
"We'll just have to wait for it to disappear on its own."
"This is twelve hours."
"So, Your Excellency, what is your next course of action?"
Just then, the faint roars of strange beasts could be heard coming from within the pillar of light.
The next second, one after another, strange beasts rushed out of the pillar of light.
However, as soon as their front feet emerged from the beam of light, their hind feet immediately disappeared.
At the same time, in Gate-Sealing Stele around the world, the spatial gates that originally connected to the Mystic Dream Otherworld suddenly opened.
The surrounding Law Enforcement, soldiers, and teachers and students from Wuhan University were all completely bewildered.
Before they could figure out what was happening, one after another, strange beasts emerged from inside.
A sizable beast tide erupted instantly.
The unprepared crowd was caught completely off guard.
The annual Hundred Schools Competition is a major event, attracting many ordinary people to watch.
The sudden beast tide plunged everyone into panic.
Even with martial artists at the forefront, the speed at which the strange beasts were released increased, more and more escaped, and ordinary people began to perish in their jaws.
The City Defense Bureau on the city wall quickly received the news and rushed to the rescue.
They never imagined that one day a beast tide would erupt in the city center.
The strange beasts were like a virus, starting from the spatial gate of the Gate-Sealing Stele and rapidly spreading throughout the city.
In less than half an hour, most of the city had fallen.
There are more than a hundred cities like this!
Beast tides broke out simultaneously in more than 100 cities Pan-Continent, and the emergency call lines of the Sea Capital Military Department and Law Enforcement were overwhelmed with calls.
It's important to know that only large cities or special cities have Gate-Sealing Stele.
The vast majority of cities have a population of around ten million.
This beast tide, which swept across almost the entire continent, was undoubtedly a catastrophe for the Human Race.
Qin Ze's expression turned grave upon learning of the situation outside.
This is a huge move by Virgo.
He used the Mystic Dream Otherworld as a transit point.
After the Abyss beasts entered the Mystic Dream Otherworld, they were immediately released to various parts of the world through the Gate-Sealing Stele.
The Gate-Sealing Stele is now out of control, and the spatial gate cannot be closed even if the intention is made.
The major cities could only watch helplessly as the strange beasts were continuously released.
The Grand Consul clearly hadn't expected the Virgo to pull this stunt.
At this moment, each strike of his spear was heavier than the last, venting the rage in his heart.
The number of Advanced Martial Artist remaining on the ground is limited; most are still in Sea Capital.
The beast horde in over a hundred cities is too much to handle, even if we run ourselves ragged.
There aren't enough people, and there's not enough time.
Damn it!
The Grand Consul cursed inwardly.
Now we can only hope for reinforcements from the Abyss.
However, in the Abyss, everyone is assigned to a specific position, so even with reinforcements, there aren't many people available.
"You son of a bitch, the Fairness Society!"
The Grand Consul gritted his teeth.
In the plaza Mystic Dream Otherworld, the Education Bureau was in a state of utter distress.
He was surrounded by several executives, and it seemed that they had no other choice but to wait.
The Maka Race ambassador, meanwhile, casually cracked some sunflower seeds and said, "Is this any good? You can't even organize a grand competition properly?"
The Education Bureau ignored the other party's sarcastic remarks and anxiously pondered a way to break the deadlock.
Suddenly, fog rolled in.
