Chapter 754: Chapter 744 Cicada Chirping and Permeating

Under the setting sun, the streets were desolate.

A black and a white figure chased each other around the street in a playful manner, and upon closer inspection, you could see that these two figures were actually two indistinct mists.

After playing for a while, the black mist stopped and looked at the white mist with a touch of melancholy, "Little White, you should go."

"What’s wrong, Little Black? Don’t you love me anymore?"

The white mist began to look sad, its hands formed from the mist clasped in front of its chest, as if it was heartbroken.

Of course, all these actions and words were being controlled by Wen Wen in secret, who was having a great time.

"Tomorrow at noon, something bad will happen here. You should try to stay as far away from Mallet Island as possible. After it’s all over, I will come to find you."

Mallet Island was where the Cicada Ancestor resided.

The white mist seemed on the verge of tears, "But I... I can’t bear to leave you..."

"Be good..."

"Then, take care of yourself."

The white mist nodded solemnly, and then kept looking back as it walked away, gradually disappearing from the black mist’s view.

The black mist watched the direction of the white mist’s departure with a sense of loss, sighing deeply.

The chase under the sunset sun was the youth he had already lost.

Since he had formed, this was the first time he had encountered such a beautiful mist, with strength comparable to his, the ideal companion.

What a pity...

"So, have you said all your goodbyes to your mistress?"

The black mist replied, "All said and done, the Fallen Angel must have received the message you wanted to deliver."

Maya Mi nodded, "That’s good. I have now recovered almost ninety percent of my strength. Tomorrow at noon is the time for me to confront that old Cicada and take back everything I’ve lost!"

Indeed, Maya Mi and the black mist knew from the beginning about the connection between the white mist and Wen Wen.

The night Wen Wen left, a strange white mist came to flirt with the black mist, a clear indication of something.

They knew that Wen Wen dared not show himself before Maya Mi in his true form, so he used this white mist to probe for information.

And Wen Wen was aware that the other party knew the white mist’s identity, so exchanging information through the interplay of black and white mist was an unspoken agreement between them.

Besides, this also allowed Wen Wen to have some fun, and for the black mist to experience the feeling of love—why not?

Wen Wen retracted the white mist and looked out at the sunset through the window.

His gaze deepened, knowing that success or failure would be decided tomorrow.

...

Early in the morning, the rising sun shone on the sea, casting glimmering waves.

Near a small island shaped like a mallet, hundreds of blue cicadas flew around something incessantly.

The center of this swarm of cicadas was where Wu Liugen had previously seen the Cicada Ancestor.

After Pope Charlie withdrew the defensive forces from Menxia Province, the number of cicadas in Liaozhou City decreased, but in other cities, their numbers increased.

The crosses of various churches were knocked down by the cicadas, and the Power of Faith contained within was completely drained. These cicadas then flew back near Mallet Island, delivering that Power of Faith back to the Cicada Ancestor.

With the addition of those powers, the strength of the Cicada Ancestor quickly restored. The body that was nailed to the Cross began to fill out, and a light blue aura flowed around it.

When the cicada’s enchanting presence reached its zenith, its wings suddenly vibrated.

From the trembling wings, a pale blue wave rippled out, quickly spreading to over a dozen cities around Liaozhou City.

At the same time, everyone in these cities, including superpower users, temporarily lost their hearing, as the world around them fell into a deathly silence.

In the midst of that overwhelming oppression, a crisp cicada cry rang out, striking directly at the soul and causing everyone’s heart to tremble incessantly.

After the cicada’s call faded, the complex noises of the mundane world returned to people’s ears, making them feel as though they had been reborn.

This was the Cicada Ancestor’s first cry in two thousand years, proclaiming its return.

Wu Liugen, who was playing cards with Wen Wen and others, suddenly turned pale, and his hand trembled, causing all the cards to drop.

"Did you hear it too?"

Wu Liugen nodded, "This is big trouble, it seems like the Cicada Ancestor has awakened. I need to report to the Vice President of Heavenly Pillar and Mr. Xun."

Wen Wen picked up the cards that Wu Liugen had dropped, with a look of disgust at the corner of his mouth.

Without that cicada’s cry, Wu Liugen would have undoubtedly lost.

...

The True Order Ranger ’Wave’ was making his usual round among the various facilities in Xihong City storing angelic body parts.

The morning cicada’s cry left him somewhat restless, so he was busier than usual.

Although Xun Ying was already stationed in Xihong City, Maya Mi’s body parts were scattered everywhere, and without her main body appearing, Xun Ying didn’t have much of a solution.

Actually, Xun Ying wasn’t in a great state either.

The last great battle with the Capital Feng Ghost God had put the Ghost God to sleep, but since Xun Ying was on par with him in strength, Xun Ying also paid a price.

Therefore, in this war, Xun Ying would try to minimize his involvement, only taking action against complete Catastrophe Levels.

Before things escalated further, everything still relied on Demon Hunters, and protecting those flesh parts was the most important task at this stage.

"I wonder what Maya Mi is thinking, aside from the initial Fallen Angel, no one else has come to steal the flesh parts. Doesn’t it want to become whole?"

No one coming to steal the parts seemed like a good thing for the Demon Hunters, as no attacks meant fewer casualties.

But it was illogical—the Pervasive Angel would naturally want to become whole, yet it remained indifferent to those parts.

As an experienced Demon Hunter, Wave couldn’t overlook this anomaly.

All of a sudden, Wave, flying in the sky, stopped, his expression one of shock. He had heard another voice.

"Spread out... and then fight for me!"

The voice was gender-neutral but magnetic, it was Maya Mi’s voice.

In response to the Cicada Ancestor’s call that morning, Maya Mi was not to be outdone.

Following the voice, Wave saw a thin Black Mist sweeping from the other end of the city, quickly enveloping both the entire city and the neighboring Liaozhou City.

Afterward, the spread of the Black Mist slowed down but continued to expand outward. The areas shrouded by the mist quickly became chaotic.

The birds in the sky and the stray cats and dogs in the city immediately began mutating.

Black patterns appeared on their bodies, their eyes turned pitch black, their sizes bulged, and they emitted a vicious and aggressive aura.

A cat that had ingested too much of the Black Mist grew even larger than a bus; it casually broke a streetlight on the side of the road with a swat and let out an imperious meow.

Just like this black cat, there were dozens, if not hundreds, of other creatures that continued growing stronger as long as they remained in the Black Mist...
