Rescue

Qingxue had done her best to describe how she had felt when she saw Sadako.

But she still couldn't express it fully. It was a feeling both profound and mysterious.

In other words, it could only be understood, not put into words.

Although Qingxue's words had only made Ye Long and the others even more curious,

they had also completely given up on going to see the Hero Shen Hui had created.

Seeing that they had stopped trying to get themselves killed, Shen Hui finally felt relieved.

Seeing Sadako and Pig-headed Butcher was one thing. If they saw Tomie,

Shen Hui would have no way to save them.

Even if Tomie didn't lay a hand on them, they would pine for her until they fell ill and died in despair.

Shen Hui gave the order, and Siren Head, standing behind him, began to emit a deafening sound.

The sound pierced through layers of thick fog and echoed throughout the entire space.

For the gigantic creatures lost and directionless in the fog,

it was like a lighthouse in the dark, drawing them toward it.

The others heard the sound too.

But they were all terrified and didn't dare go near it.

The five men in black, however, began moving toward where the sound had come from.

The fog blocked their control over the gigantic creatures.

But they could sense that all of them had gathered at the place where the sound was coming from.

So, to them, that was the safest place.

On Shen Hui's side, the gigantic creatures nearby were soon drawn over.

Siren Head unleashed its superhuman physical abilities and instantly killed the creatures charging toward it.

Sadako also used Psychokinesis and Teleportation.

She vanished and reappeared in an instant, manipulating the creatures' fear and controlling them.

Because they had no intelligence, they were even more susceptible to negative emotions.

Pig-headed Butcher transformed into its Demon Pig form and clashed head-on with the gigantic creatures.

A large horde of Common Demon Pigs appeared as well. And as the gigantic creatures died,

Pig-headed Butcher created even more Demon Pigs.

Tomie was the only one among them with relatively weak combat strength.

After all, Tomie had only an ordinary human's physical abilities.

Her charm only worked on men, so it had no effect on these creatures.

But Tomie's ability to split and multiply without limit

was terrifying too.

She threw herself in front of the gigantic creatures' attacks, dying to hold them back.

After they tore her apart, even more Tomies rose to their feet.

There were more and more Tomies, until black figures densely crowded the area around Shen Hui and the others.

Qingxue, Ye Long, and the others beside Shen Hui

couldn't make out what was happening in the thick fog.

To them, it was a battle with no visible images.

They could only see black shadows darting through the fog and hear roars coming from all around them.

Anger, or perhaps fear.

And the dreadful smell of blood grew stronger and stronger.

It felt as if they weren't breathing in air, but blood.

All of this kept intensifying the atmosphere around them and guiding their emotions.

Qingxue, Ye Long, and the others felt unbearably oppressed, and gained a little more understanding of the Death World.

They took several deep breaths before they began to feel better.

It truly was a world where life couldn't come into being.

Just the aura released by a partial overlap had nearly driven them to collapse.

In a sense, the Death World had already beaten them at the very beginning.

It simply couldn't create things.

But now Shen Hui had broken that impossibility.

The students in the fog had no protection from Shen Hui.

He couldn't protect all of them.

Some of them had already begun to suffer mental breakdowns under such oppressive conditions, with their negative emotions overflowing.

But compared to being killed outright by the gigantic creatures, their situation was already much better.

As Siren Head continued to draw them in, more and more gigantic creatures arrived.

Once they did, they were mercilessly killed.

In the battle between the worlds, victory was steadily tilting toward Shen Hui's side.

Meanwhile, outside,

the men in black who had attacked Shen Hui and the others hadn't appeared only there.

They were also appearing in various places throughout every district, including every local branch of the World Association.

They could all merge their Creation Worlds with the real world.

They released gigantic creatures to wreak havoc on everything around them.

In an instant, every district descended into chaos.

Ordinary people caught inside the overlapped spaces were nothing but ants.

They were trampled to death by the gigantic creatures.

Everywhere, emergency alarms were sounded at once, and the areas entered a Level One Crisis state.

Whether they were official Creation World Awakeners or Awakeners from other organizations and factions,

they all rushed out to take part in fighting this upheaval.

But they soon faced another problem.

Before they could merge their Creation Worlds with reality, they weren't much stronger than ordinary people.

Very few could do what Shen Hui had done and directly merge their Creation Worlds with reality.

So they had to rely mainly on Awakeners whose World Level was five or higher.

They could forcibly invade the men in black's worlds and defeat them.

But that left them short-handed.

At that moment, in the area where Shen Hui and the others were,

men in black appeared on streets crowded with people and at all kinds of important locations.

They even appeared inside the World Association branch, and the men in black attacking it were numerous and powerful.

Their World Levels were all around five.

If they hadn't prepared in advance by sending large numbers of World Association members to patrol various places throughout the district,

and if the backbone of the branch, including the Guardians organization, hadn't been standing by inside the World Association branch,

the branch would have fallen. That would have left their area without a place from which to direct the fighting.

But the ordinary World Association members stationed in various places weren't strong enough to handle the crisis.

As a result, the situation elsewhere was very bad.

They hadn't expected anything like this to happen.

After Chi Yan and the others dealt with the crisis at the World Association,

they immediately began dispatching people to the different places where men in black had appeared, while also launching a large-scale investigation.

There were quite a few places the men in black had invaded without anyone reporting it.

At that moment, Ye Long's father, Ye Yitian, was also there in his capacity as a Guardian.

Ye Yitian's face was full of worry. He spoke in a low voice:

"My son is holding a gathering at the Nine Phoenix Pavilion today. He invited quite a few students, and Shen Hui and Qingxue are there too."

"I can't reach them. Something may well have happened to them!"

Chi Yan's expression changed as soon as she heard this.

If something had happened there, the situation would be bad.

Not only were there many members of the new generation among them, but many of them were very talented too.

"Let's go there together. I hope nothing has happened to them!"
