Chapter 501: Chapter 417 He does not wish for “The Night” to descend once again. _2 Chapter 501: Chapter 417 He does not wish for “The Night” to descend once again. _2 Although he knew that it was due to the influence of some large-scale, high-standard anomalies that he had to do this,

the sight still felt eerily bizarre…

“A type of rule-based anomaly, but from the feel of it, as long as I have Bonfire with me, it shouldn’t be able to affect me. Its hierarchical level, at most, would not exceed that of a Level 2 Containment Subject.”

“It’s just that the core key cannot be found, and dealing with it will be difficult if we want to.”

Colin silently estimated and, once he determined that the threat to himself was not significant, he felt considerably more at ease inside.

Afterward, when he rejoined his team and the group once again started moving forward, according to their schedule, they would arrive in at most ten minutes…

Colin slightly raised his head, gazing towards the direction of their target, but regrettably, for some reason, it was very dim and hazy there, as if covered by some sort of pitch-black curtain, obscuring everything from view.

However, from that profound darkness, he could hear quite a few strange noises.

Clearly, there were quite a number of creatures gathered there…

Meanwhile, on the road leading to this final target, the number of various human corpses had increased, the vast majority of whom seemed to be company employees by their death, a particularly miserable sight.

Either missing arms or legs, or in pieces here and there, various mummified corpses nearly paved the road ahead.

Taking a deep breath and a few minutes later, Colin and the others came upon a massive pit.

The expanse of the pit was too large to see its edges at a glance, and it contained numerous building remains, but at the moment was completely empty.

However, upon arriving here, everyone felt that the visibility had dropped a few notches. Despite the presence of light, one could not see anything clearly.

They seemed to have already entered some kind of “Night” barrier.

Fortunately, aside from causing some sensory discomfort, this “Night” barrier did not have any further effect.

Everything was still within an acceptable range.

“We have arrived… It’s here,” Nightingale stopped leading the way and stood on the edge of the pit.

“This?” Colin glanced at the empty space ahead.

This massive pit was one of the rare places where it was impossible to discern what the original facility had been, as it was thoroughly destroyed.

“Yes, we might need to wait a bit longer, the time probably hasn’t come yet…” Nightingale simply explained.

This was the precise location they had determined after decades of efforts, losing countless people along the way, and through various means.

In a “normal” situation, just avoiding various “Time Reversals” would mean,

they would need four or five days to complete this leg of the journey…

But with the blessing of this group, they arrived directly at the target area in just over half an hour.

“Right, can you confirm the exact location of that item?”

Colin stood on the edge of the pit, swinging his arm while asking.

The pit was a bit too large, probably several kilometers in diameter at a rough estimate. It would pose quite a bit of trouble if they couldn’t find the precise location.

“I am sorry, although we’ve sent many teams here, with about a thousand people, regrettably, after the ‘Reversal’ began, we haven’t had anyone bring back specific intelligence from here. We can only ascertain that it is within this area…”

Nightingale shook her head, “Apart from knowing there’s a ‘Night’ Descendant here, everything else is unclear… From now on, we are unable to provide you with more information.”

‘Over a thousand deaths? The Legion’s information gathering has been a bit brutal… But these “Night” Descendants… According to the Legion, they count among the ‘Chosen of God’, but have gone through certain enhancements. From what I can sense right now, their hierarchy is not low, and may even rival the aura of ‘Red Moon’, signifying another follower who transcends Level 1 existence; indeed, caution is needed…’

Feeling the faint darkness around him, Colin shook his head cautiously and stated,

“No worries, this is enough.”

After that, without further inquiry, he swayed his arms as he turned his gaze toward the inexplicably dark pit, trailing his eyes over some residual signs of battle on the ground, and then walked into it.

The other members followed suite…

If they strayed too far from Colin, they risked being swept into the “Time Reversal.”

For them, that would be little different from death.

At this moment, following the traces left behind and with the Little Maid reporting in his ear, Colin roughly located a position that might be the center…

“The battle here was the most intense. I’ll take a gamble—even though it won’t be a big problem if I’m wrong…”

With this thought, Colin began his preparations, taking out one explosive device after another from his pocket and instructing the “Nano-smart Machinery” to arrange them…

At the same time, he spread specially-made “Flame Bearer” Grease around as much as possible.

He did this to ensure that when the battle erupted, he could immediately enter full combat mode.

And incidentally, to give a big surprise to everyone here with the explosions…

However, just as everything was half done, something inside Colin sunk as he felt the surrounding incomprehensible darkness grow denser…

Did it seem to have come alive?

Colin’s eyes suddenly narrowed slightly at the sight of some battle traces on the ground beginning to shrink—

“Reversal” was about to begin!

“Let’s move back a bit first, to a safe distance…”

With a wave of his hand, Colin led the others away from the scene. Just as they left the area, they abruptly saw several figures emerge out of thin air from the middle of the pit.

The aura of each figure was immensely powerful…

“Tick tock tick tock…”

The sound of the clock ticking surfaced abruptly by his ear, but unlike before,

from the details, it seemed to be reversing.

However, this unique sound could only be heard by Colin, who held “The Sealed Right Hand.”
