Chapter 622: Chapter 467 The Friendship Boat of the ‘King of Savage Sound’._2 Chapter 622: Chapter 467 The Friendship Boat of the ‘King of Savage Sound’._2 The key thing is, these battles between living beings are a bit too abstract, hard to comprehend…

Instead of calling them battles, they’re more like various types of natural disasters clashing with each other.

Like a tornado colliding with a volcanic eruption…

No people can be seen, just all sorts of “special effects.”

However, Colin did notice something, that these individuals didn’t seem like they were about to take down “Hunger” anytime soon.

Moreover, the intensity of the fight appeared to keep escalating.

He had no desire to become the first “Flamebearer” Reservist in history to die from “watching the spectacle.”

That would be too much fun.

So he wasn’t planning to stay much longer and would leave once it felt about right…

However…

At the same time, deep beneath the surface of “World Code-13,” a human-shaped figure transformed by the “King of Madness” pressed his ear against the wall at its edge, listening for noise returning from the outside.

“Why is the ‘Bonfire Company’ fighting with ‘Hunger’ over here?”

The “King of Madness” was surprised; he hadn’t expected a fight to break out right after sending people away.

It just felt like the location of the fight was off?

Wasn’t it supposed to be in the “Black Mountains”?

He had multiple observation points set up there, looking forward to eavesdropping, only to hear nothing, while a battle broke out at the “Bonfire Company” agent’s location?

Although unsure of what accident had occurred, he still rushed to the scene immediately and watched from a distance.

The company’s various shielding was very well-executed, but a battle of this magnitude couldn’t possibly be completely hidden.

Especially with his unique authority…

Through vibrations imperceptible to humans, he could reconstruct most of the battle’s imagery in his mind.

“Strange, it’s not the large-scale Corps like last time, didn’t they say you need more people to trigger the core content of the ‘Bonfire Protocol’?”

“Could there be some special arrangement from the higher-ups?”

“Wait, why do I feel like there are two familiar authority powers inside…”

As the “King of Madness” listened for a while, he suddenly exclaimed in shock:

“What?! That Salt Lord and the guy who emits purple electricity had already become external combat employees?!”

These two were among those who had charged with him at the “World Code” back in the day!

They had just broken through the defenses, claiming to have collided with the “Primordial Fire” Corps, but in reality, they had run into Rosen. The other few hardly participated.

Three against one, one dead, two critically injured…

No, looking at it now, that guy hadn’t died at all, and those two, who had clearly been determined not to submit, one moment later, while he was still in prison, the other two had already become external combat employees for the “Zoo” Corps!

Damn it, he shouldn’t have been so inflexible back then!

The most annoying thing for the “King of Madness” was, according to what Rosen had said back then.

Of their batch of “Ancient Gods,” the first one to agree would mean reduced treatment for the others…

But similarly, if two could stand firm together, they would both receive the best contracts in the future.

The “King of Madness” had been thinking that upon getting the chance to come out, he would persuade this individual again, only to find out that the other had “come back to life,” not to mention defected from their small group.

If he joined now, not only was he likely to lose any chance of receiving benefits, but his period of service might also be extended…

He could sense that an incomprehensible disaster was likely to take place in the very near future.

But the future is the future, and now is now.

All of a sudden, the “King of Madness” became deeply distrustful of others.

“No, maybe I can contact them directly…”

With that thought, the “King of Madness” exerted all his strength to send a message to the two old acquaintances above, hoping they would take him with them when they left for work.

That way, past grievances could be erased, and the little boat of friendship could be righted.

They could still be good friends.

However…

A good while passed, and he received no response.

…

“Time to slip away…”

After another round of observation, Colin chose to exit.

Although if he were to ignite his “Microcosm,” he might not be incapable of joining the fray and providing some assistance. With the “Bonfire’s” remarkably strong counteracting effect against “Hunger,” containment could perhaps be concluded faster…

But doing that would carry little meaning and high risk.

Of course, another reason for choosing to exit was due to an unidentified team member who seemed to send an “Inspiration” his way, suggesting he leave once he had seen enough.

“If I continue spectating, could some unnecessary conflict arise?”

Colin tried to interpret the “Inspiration” message, a bit confused, but he didn’t have time to ponder the reason any further.

As the thought of leaving took shape, a layer of gray fog enveloped him.

In an instant, Colin saw himself retreating from the relentless battlefield…

“Hiss, my eyes…”

Just came out, Colin was met with blinding light all around, causing sharp pain in his pupils.

The world outside was shrouded in an exceedingly intense white incandescence at some unknown time.

However, the next second, all the light converged, turning into a glowing, chubby-looking sphere with six pairs of wings.

Then, the sphere’s glow receded, transforming into the likeness of Shana.

‘Unnecessary conflict, that’s what it was talking about…’

Colin squinted his eyes, rubbing them while he figured out the reason—

Shana, the Saintess, was capable of communicating with the dim-witted Angels of Wisdom in the “Radiant Angel” corps to some extent.

He had vanished without explaining the situation to the other party just now.

If Shana misunderstood and summoned the stupidity angel defense system of the “Radiant Angel” corps.

That indeed…

It could lead to an unnecessary conflict between the two corps.

‘I wonder which corps would be the stronger in a fight…’

Colin thought with a mindset of enjoying the commotion.

At this moment, up in the midair, Shana saw Colin appear unharmed and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, without waiting for her wings to disappear, they fluttered, and she instantly appeared beside Colin.

Feathers flew out, turning into streaming lights that circled around Colin while Shana spoke:

“What happened?”

Originally, she was in her domain, responsible for protecting all ordinary people, while Colin went out to meet the enemy.

To her surprise, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from outside.

Just as she was about to take action, she saw a weird flicker of red and blue light in the outer region, then everything disappeared.

In her urgency, Shana transformed herself and faintly sensed Colin’s presence within a “gray mist tumor” high in the sky.

However, no matter how she attacked, it was hard to penetrate that defense.

Thankfully, just as she prepared to communicate with the things inside this “protection zone,” the “gray mist tumor” spat Colin back out, safe and sound.

“It’s okay, the ‘Hunger’ issue should be resolved now…”

Colin briefly explained the situation.

This time “Lady Bunny” didn’t send a large number of people over like last time, but instead carried out some kind of… precise strike.

The vast majority of people from the outside world probably didn’t even know about this incident.

Hearing this, Shana didn’t speak immediately, until after checking Colin up and down for injuries and ensuring there was no damage, she nodded indifferently, “That’s good then.”

‘Thinking about it, if we let the battlefield shift to the outside world, and let these monsters fight unrestrained, thousands of miles around might suffer…’

Colin recalled the terrifying clashes he had seen in that space, and couldn’t help but click his tongue.

The destructive power of high-level Containment Subjects was indeed formidable…

A single blow could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split; even if they held back in battle, it would still cause great destruction in the world.

Then, as time ticked by…

Almost the next day, a piece of information swept through Colin’s mind.

[Containment work is completed, the current “0-09 ‘Hunger'” accounts for about one-eighth…]

[No other fragment information detected…]

[Preparing to withdraw.]

[Withdrawal complete.]

“It’s done?” Shana also sensed something.

“Yeah.” Colin nodded.

That also meant that in “World Code-13,” within the domains he was currently aware of, all fragments of “Hunger” had been collected.

As for whether there were any hidden in other corners, that was yet to be known.

“Having recollected one-fifth and one-eighth, I wonder where the other fragments are…”
