Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Retreat the Dark Lizard! (Large Chapter, requesting monthly votes)

Denno City · Southern District

The world seemed to quiet down at this moment; the once dim firmament appeared to grow even gloomier.

The streetlights with light sensors naturally lit up, and hurried people quickly crossed the streets.

Blood-red halo replaced the gray sky, illuminating the gaps between buildings like sunset glow, shining on pedestrians’ feet.

Some people finally sensed something was amiss; they lifted their heads and looked up at the firmament.

The twisted crimson, like a long veil, covered everyone’s heads. The fiery sunset seemed to pass through a grand blood pool, dyed into an eerie crimson.

It continued to fall slowly, increasingly large, increasingly ’close,’ rapidly transforming into a gigantic disc suspended in the sky, like the firmament’s single open eye gazing at the humble life below.

The crowd stared blankly at the sky, seemingly losing the ability to react for a moment.

"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"

Someone regained consciousness, screamed in panic, and ran for their life.

"Wake up, wake up quickly!?" Someone stood on the street, slapping themselves, trying to awaken from this sudden distortion.

Invisible Qi blew across everyone’s clothing with the cold wind.

Blood-red cold light illuminated everything under the firmament.

Inside the glass windows under Ming Guang, decorative pink plastic petals slowly sprouted blood-red shoots, stretching out vibrant green, lively vines.

······

"Nothing will happen... Hey, Paxiu, can you hear me?"

Driving across the street, Vigina raised her head to look at the sky.

The blood-red glow, like spreading clouds, covered the land from the south.

Every area it passed, whether high-rise buildings or clouds, streets or the sun, was coated in a bizarre crimson.

"What is that?" Vigina stared at the sky, bewildered.

A conjecture emerged in her mind.

How could it be?!

She lifted her wrist to make a call to the city government but found the wireless signal trapped in some interference.

And the call she just connected was abruptly cut off for reasons unknown.

At this moment, her wrist showed only a ’message’ from an unknown number.

Ding ding ding——

On the street, vehicles began drifting in all directions, the drivers seemingly falling into a bizarre state.

Some wanted to escape, some panicked.

Sharp horn sounds blared urgently and angrily, like a chaotic dance lost in rhythm, piercing the blood-red glow.

Vigina glanced at the message on her wrist, then looked at the rapidly spreading crimson in the firmament, jerked the steering wheel, and floored the accelerator, speeding through traffic gaps, racing towards the east.

Denno City · Eastern District

A man in a brown T-shirt with a black backpack stood atop a high-rise, lifting his head and glanced at the blood-red glow spreading from the south.

Then he shook his head, looked away, and looked ahead.

At the end of his field of view, a skyscraper towering much higher than other buildings stood among scattered structures.

On the skyscraper, the neon lights forming the ’Kewort Group’ text were flashing with brilliant colors.

The man gazed at the top of the building, now a ruin, frowning slightly.

Then he looked down at the time on his wrist.

The howling cold wind brushed against his cheeks; he ran forward, opened his arms, and charged towards the sky.

The flying backpack behind him abruptly unfolded, spewing intense flames, lifting him towards the sky’s highest point.

Denno City · South Gate Jar City

The enormous blood sun hung high in the firmament, occupying a third of the sky.

Blood-white sunlight lay upon He Ao’s body, also upon the burning Mecha flames.

All these changes happened in an instant; the giant hand in the void had just crushed the red Mecha.

Countless Mechas hung like a swarm of mosquitoes opposite He Ao in the high sky.

Their hands’ glow still aimed at He Ao, along with the soldiers surrounding the Jar City, also aimed at He Ao.

They didn’t react yet, but there was no time for them to react.

Boom boom boom——

Under He Ao’s gaze, before he spoke, intense explosions ignited like fireworks blooming in the firmament, covering the entire Jar City in an instant.

At that moment, the soldiers who aimed their guns at He Ao seemed to be filled with some force, losing the luster in their eyes, their bodies instantly rigid.

Then their bodies shriveled as if pierced by a straw, drained rapidly; their flesh and souls were extracted by the invisible ’straw.’

In a split second, their bodies completely shriveled, leaving only slack skin, then in the next instant, the slack skin crumpled into a heap and vanished into invisibility.

Also, at this time, an invisible giant hand reached out from behind He Ao, circled him with purple glow in his eyes but did not extend towards him, standing still around.

Simultaneously, invisible giant hands extended from the void, like snake tongues searching for the scent of prey.

The enormous blood sun in the sky continued to enlarge at a visible speed, already approaching half the sky.

Invisible atmospheric pressure echoed in the void, pressing on He Ao’s chest, making it nearly impossible to breathe.

Slight purple blood slowly seeped from his skin, covering his body in a short time.

But as the body gradually collapsed, his breathing instead stabilized under this pressure.

And at this moment, those invisible giant hands lingering in the sky seemed to sense something, instantly collapsing.

The slowly closing exterior gate was also on the verge of completing its total closure at this moment.

The world seemed to fall into silence.

Boom——

The exterior city gate about to close completely instantly smashed inward, scattering countless shattered alloy, amid this surging alloy storm.

Invisible fierce wind rode on blood-red sunlight, rushing from the vast wasteland into the Jar City, sweeping across the ground, across the sides of He Ao’s body, forcefully breaking open the nearly closed inner city gate behind He Ao.

Rushing into the world beyond the city gate.

Howling wind like sharp blades scraped against He Ao’s skin; faint purple light emanated from his body, blocking the distorted erosion in this wind.

Yet the world behind him lacked such ’luck.’

The invisible fierce wind swept across streets, high-rises, factories, leaving earth with cracks, high-rises collapsing thunderously, factories shattering into dust.

All that humans had crafted turned into ruins and dust in an instant.

Amidst the ruins and dust, the roots of painted trees began to grow, while flyers imprinted with flowers blossomed.

The scarlet sunlight, driven by a fierce cold wind, surged deeper into the city.

Denno City · Mayor’s Mansion

A slender middle-aged man stared at the crimson horizon with a despondent gaze, "Useless?! Why is it useless?!"

"Mr. Mayor," a young man suddenly burst through the door, looking at the middle-aged man, "It’s the Dark Lizards! The Dark Lizards!!! They are attacking the city!!!"

"I know!!!" the middle-aged man shouted frantically, "Call Ains! Activate the special line! Call Ains!!!! Only Ains can summon the angels around to save us!!!!"

He looked at the young man, who seemed lost, and shouted in anger, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Do you know what that is?! That’s an Angel Tier monster!!! When the Dark Lizards enter the city, we’re all going to die, all going to die!!!!"

South Gate

He Ao gazed at the open outer city gate, gazing at the wilderness outside.

Purple radiance spread over his blood-stained body. He lifted his foot and slowly moved forward.

With every step, the pressure on him increased, more blood seeped from his body, and fine cracks spread from his flesh, covering his hard bones.

Intense pain waves crashed against his soul and consciousness.

Yet, as if with no sensation, he continued to move forward, step by step.

The storm that charged deeper into the city slowed its pace, even the giant blood sun hovering in the sky diminished its speed a bit.

The invisible winds around kept blowing, as if countless invisible hands were wrapping around He Ao in the darkness.

He Ao never diverted his gaze, continued to hold his head high, looking at the wilderness beyond the gate.

Deep in that wilderness, the source of all this pressure, distorted and surging land, was fast approaching.

The weight pressing on him grew heavier still.

Boom——

A massive roar suddenly erupted in that wilderness, like a tangible blood-red storm rising from it.

In a split second, the twisted storm collided with the high walls of Jar City.

The massive high walls of Jar City trembled, spreading some minor cracks, channeling most of the storm to both sides.

The remaining cold wind passed through the open outer gate of Jar City, sweeping over He Ao’s body.

The blood spreading over He Ao became even more intense, and the dissipated purple radiance grew even stronger.

He Ao said nothing, kept lifting his foot, moving forward continuously.

His actions unchanged, his walking motion not pausing at all.

The purple radiance enveloping him wrapped around him like a stream of light, and his pupils were completely covered by this purple glow.

Behind him, the cold storm blew past the heavy inner city gate, knocking it open completely, tearing a series of fine lines into it.

He Ao glanced at the outer city gate ahead, glanced at the rapidly approaching forces beyond, then moved forward once more.

With this step, his body reached its absolute limit.

In his daze, he could even hear the creaking cracks spreading across his bones, hear the sound of his flesh beneath his clothes about to tear completely.

Boom——

At this moment, the terrifying pressure from outside the city finally reached beyond the gate.

An enormous invisible object, with no color and seemingly no body, revealed vague outlines of limbs and an elongated form beneath the dim blood sun.

Upon appearing outside the city gate, it didn’t pause, its body, larger than the gate, charged straight at it, creating a massive opening with a deafening crash.

Splintered stones flew past He Ao’s cheek, striking the high wall behind him, forming a massive dent.

Amidst this dense stone dust, He Ao stopped, quietly looking forward.

In the dense mist directly ahead, the outline of an immense invisible body was slowly taking form.

Ah——

Simultaneously, a sharp cry, both like a bear’s roar and a bird’s call, erupted under the blood sun, echoing at the world’s foundation.

The enormous head of the massive body lowered, its gigantic blood-red eyes watching He Ao.

At this moment, those eyes merged with the blood sun in the sky, as if the blood sun itself was gazing down at He Ao.

He Ao stood motionless before it, appearing as insignificant as an ant compared to the colossal invisible being.

Yet He Ao neither spoke nor moved, merely observing everything ahead in silence, not even blinking.

The echoing sound just erupted and, the moment it traversed the void, transformed into a roaring storm, rushing outward in all directions.

Boom——

The earth trembled at this moment, and the sky swayed.

The magnificent high walls of Jar City, towering into the clouds, in an instant, filled with endless fractures and then collapsed with a crash.

Bricks and alloys fell to the ground, emitting a roaring sound like heavy mountains.

Yet the terrifying storm didn’t extend to the inner city gate.

The colossal invisible creature lifted its ’gaze’, looked at the high wall of the inner city gate, and towards the sky above.

An enormous, nearly spanning half the sky, twisted purple machinery was suspended in the firmament above the city.

Invisible lines were extending from the void, connected to that purple machinery.

The eerie atmosphere spread from those permeate lines.

As the invisible monster gazed at the purple machinery, the lines linked to the machinery trembled.

Some invisible power spread from the deepest corners of the world, covering the invisible creature like those extending lines.

The dust clouds from Jar City’s fallen walls still lingered as the massive invisible creature recoiled, glanced at He Ao in front, then at the colossal purple mechanical illusion in the sky.

After a moment’s hesitation, it lifted its feet, backed away a few steps, retreated from the dust, leaving the original Jar City area.

Then it unhesitatingly turned, instantly traversing the wilderness, disappearing towards the east.

The cold wind interwoven between heaven and earth retracted like a pulled curtain, whisking away in an instant.

The blood-red sky and the massive blood sun also at this moment, like a stage’s backdrop, rapidly withdrawn.

The sky once again brightened, revealing the true sunset and afterglow.

Yet even now, He Ao’s actions remained unchanged.

He stood quietly, the splendid glow bathing his purple-tinted, blood-red body.

The purple mechanical illusion suspended in the firmament also slowly dissipated.

And all around the city, the warped phantom plants withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

People who had been frantically fleeing in the streets halted, bewilderedly lifting their heads, watching the sky return to normal and the fading purple light in the sky.

As if awakening from a long dream.
