I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 943 - 943 942. Pollution

Chapter 943: 942. Pollution Chapter 943: 942. Pollution The air pressure at the eye of the typhoon was lower than outside, and at the center of this superstorm, it was so low that it felt suffocating. If Lu Ban could see the wind’s direction, he would notice that the air along the walls of the eye was rapidly rising and falling. In such turbulent flow, even the most skilled pilot could lose control, turning their plane into a bird torn apart in the storm.

From the black sun emerged worms that were almost hitting the ground. These creatures were massive, as thick as giant oil tankers and stretched more than a dozen meters in length. Their mere presence was enough to drive many to the brink of sanity, staring in shock.

The worms moved quickly too. In a blink of an eye, those that fell into the sea started swarming towards the city center.

“So many…”

Lu Ban couldn’t help but remark.

Facing such enormous creatures, Lu Ban’s fighting capability was almost zero. Although Shia was slightly better than Lu Ban, the difference in size was clearly not something that could be compensated for by piloting skills. Rounded off, Shia’s fighting capability was also zero.

Only Amber, with the ability to manipulate those shadows, had some fighting strength.

Before Lu Ban could continue, Amber had already positioned herself in front of them.

In the windless eye, her hair slightly fluttered.

In the distance, a worm that had just crawled up the beach suddenly twitched.

Dark tentacles from beneath the sea grabbed hold of the worm.

Suddenly, more tentacles stretched out of the water, clinging onto the worm and stopping it in its tracks.

It was visible that shadows kept leaping out from the water, utilizing their tentacles to tear at the worm’s tough hide, reminiscent of cowhide. The worm’s shell was pulled apart, leaking black, viscous pus lighter than water, quickly forming a layer over the sea.

The worm shriveled up into an empty shell.

More shadows emerged, engaging in battle with the worms.

Some worms, ignoring these attacks, seemed focused solely on moving forward. Even as their wounds split open, they kept advancing, crushing everything in their path.

Whether it was building debris, humans, or shadows.

The sound of bones being crushed echoed from beneath the worms, and in moments, Lu Ban found himself surrounded.

Nearby, the cashier of the convenience store hid behind the counter, delirious and completely in denial, shivering without any thought of escaping.

Indeed, in the area passed by the worms, there was no chance of escape.

Ordinary people couldn’t possibly climb over the high wall formed by the worms, and any creature that dared resist was pulverized under their weight.

Despair was like this: visible, tangible, but unscalable.

In just a few minutes, ninety percent of the residents on The Island had been crushed by the worms.

Around Amber, the shadows also formed a wall. They continuously battled the worms, shredding any that came close, and quickly piling up a barrier of worm carcasses.

It was as if a typhoon had stirred on solid ground, and the spot where Lu Ban stood was the only safe eye.

At that moment, Lu Ban, seeing the tentacle shadows being crushed by the worms for his sake, began to see them in a new, noble light.

A worm approached Lu Ban; unlike the earlier ones with fine teeth, this one had a dark mouthpart, like a black hole, swallowing all light. Nobody knew the fate of those it devoured, an unknown terror.

“We can’t just stay here.”

Shia tried to look for the cashier from the convenience store, only to find that he had long vanished into the sea of worms, nowhere to be seen.

The lives of ordinary mortals were so fragile in the face of this foreign calamity, they didn’t even have time to struggle.

Although Shia had never encountered such circumstances, she knew they were merely lingering in a slow death here, and they had to find a way to break out of this storm.

“I can only keep these worms from getting close to here, but I can’t lead you out.”

Amber said. Clearly, controlling these shadows also required willpower, and right now she could barely move and had to concentrate fully.

Lu Ban knew that if they continued like this, Amber would eventually be unable to hold out, and by then, they would truly be devoured by these worms and sent to some bizarre place.

To change the situation, their current combat power clearly wasn’t enough.

Even if Amber allowed Shia to regain her memory, based on the performances of Cui Siter and Red Leaf, they also couldn’t display superpower abilities in this world.

The only one Lu Ban had seen with superpower abilities was still Amber, who could control the shadows due to Charlotte’s intervention.

“Wait.”

An idea struck Lu Ban as he looked at Amber, the girl slightly trembling, her clothes soaked with sweat, sticking to her body and faintly revealing the shape of her body underneath.

Lu Ban had no time to carefully observe these details as he asked Amber,

“When you gained these powers, did you feel anything else in your mind?”

“…There were some murmurs, and I saw some bizarre images, as well as the behavioral habits of these shadows and methods of control. It’s as if this knowledge had always existed in my brain,” Amber answered with some difficulty.

Lu Ban immediately understood.

Obviously, in the Foreign Domain, knowledge didn’t necessarily mean Pollution, but there was knowledge that was inherently Pollution, and according to the laws of the Foreign Domain, knowledge was Pollution, knowledge was power, and power was accompanied by Pollution.

Amber had gained power, and with it, knowledge and Pollution appeared in her mind.

Therefore, if Lu Ban could come into contact with Pollution, he might be able to gain some power.

Of course, his Sanity would certainly suffer, and it wasn’t certain whether he would go mad on the spot.

After all, Lu Ban was such a rational person.

“Is the Jade Pendant with you?” Lu Ban asked again.

“Yes.” Amber nodded her head and quickly grasped Lu Ban’s intention.

“No, you might completely lose your mind, lost in the midst of Pollution,” she said; that Pollution was not something a mortal could withstand, and even if Lu Ban could gain power from it, it would be hard to say whether he could still maintain his self-awareness.

“It’s okay, with you all here, at least I can remember who I am.”

Lu Ban said, placing his hand on Amber’s head, gently tousling her short hair.

Amber bit her lower lip, hesitating for a few seconds. Nearby, a shadow crawled over.

From between the tentacles of that shadow, an ancient Jade Pendant was pushed out.

Shia subconsciously averted her gaze; she didn’t want to come in close contact with this thing.

As for Lu Ban, the moment he saw the Jade Pendant, whispers, fine and overlapping, echoed over his ears.
