Chapter 707: Chapter 513: Keep a Trick up Your Sleeve! _2 Chapter 707: Chapter 513: Keep a Trick up Your Sleeve! _2 But this made him weigh his words and tone even more carefully, no longer displaying the pride he had when he just mentioned that part of history.

What was once a glory, was now a death knell.

Times had changed…

“So what are you here to find?” Colin asked casually.

“Mainly, there’s a special intangible containment subject on our soil that we can’t contain, but a part of its cage is here. It was fished up and left here by those uncultured barbarians from North America, and we want to retrieve the cage to see if we can contain that thing…”

The squad leader revealed his mission this time.

“Oh.”

Colin glanced at these guys, unsure which country was responsible for that part of history, considering many had ground “My Great Qing” into the dust.

But now, it was possible to guess where this team came from…

If nothing surprising occurred, they were likely from that island where, nowadays, strange phenomena might outnumber people.

At this moment, the squad leader added, “Originally we had plenty of time, but for some reason, a few days ago, we were suddenly ordered to act within these two days and retrieve that item.”

Suddenly asked to hasten the pace? Was it because of me… Colin muttered to himself inwardly.

Nevertheless, he didn’t voice it out and just said,

“Considering this, we actually have no conflict. Wait until I finish my action tomorrow, then see for yourselves if you have a chance to retrieve that thing. Also… if you succeed in using that item to contain the subject, you should send, well, return it to us.”

“I’m not going to take advantage of you. In this case, I won’t charge you extra,”

“Consider it my payment for helping you this time.”

“This…” The squad leader was momentarily stunned; such matters were beyond his decision-making authority!

“May I communicate with the higher-ups?”

“Be my guest.”

Colin waved his hand indifferently, knowing that barring the unexpected, his request would be accepted.

Sure enough, about a minute later, the squad leader nodded his agreement.

As for any second thoughts they might have, Colin wasn’t particularly worried…

If they didn’t give it to him, he’d simply take it himself; it wasn’t much of an issue. Colin estimated his strength to be greater than that of some C Level corporate staff members and certainly surpassing over ninety-nine percent of Earth’s official Ninth Level Personnel.

In such circumstances, no one could refuse his reasonable demands.

Of course, if such an event did occur, Colin wouldn’t mind asking them, “Friend, what makes you disrespect me so?”

“Now we wait until I conclude my actions tomorrow…”

After giving his instructions, Colin’s figure vanished as he found another more suitable observation area to lie in wait alone.

Time passed quickly, and at 3 a.m. on the 20th, the atmosphere of the abandoned military base became unnaturally heavy and dense…

More and more Believers arrived from all directions to worship the “Buddha Statue,” with a figure in a dark blue robe, likely a Grand Elder or someone of a similar rank, standing at the forefront leading the worship.

“Southern Bodhisattva, bless us; Southern Bodhisattva, bless us…”

Amidst the echoing chants, the atmosphere finally peaked on the following morning at six.

The ocean, which should’ve been illuminated by the rising sun, was engulfed in absolute darkness under the Dark Cloud.

High above, the clouds grew dense, pressing lower with an oppressive feel.

“It’s coming, it’s coming! The entity is about to descend upon this world!”

The Archbishop’s voice thundered, dense mist emanating from him, streaked with flashes of lightning, and eerie tendrils sprouting across his skin.

And the next second, following his cry, thunder clapped.

Instantly, fierce winds rose and heavy rain fell in torrents!

Surrounding the island for hundreds of meters, kilometers, and even several kilometers out, waterspouts formed in great numbers, mirroring a dragon’s breath.

The sheer force of nature was on full display here, as if the apocalypse was unfolding…

Even Colin couldn’t help but stay on guard.

The Believers might be weak, but the entity they were attempting to summon was indeed powerful…

“At least First Level Containment Subject strength.”

Colin sighed inwardly, remembering official records. Threats of this level numbered a dozen or more on Earth, and that was just what was public knowledge; the hidden threats remained unknown.

Apart from “Level 0” entities, the number of high-level containment subjects here was higher than most other places he had visited.

The problem was that there were remnants of the “Flame Bearer’s” arrangements over there…

But not here.

However, he didn’t dwell on it and shook his head, refocusing his thoughts on the present situation—this could very well lead to a significant mishap.

“It’s coming! It’s coming! I am about to comprehend everything! The future, fate, everything in the world…”

The Grand Elder at the forefront, wearing the deep blue robe, shouted aloud.

His body, subject to some influence, began to distort, with numerous thick tendrils extending from beneath his clothes, wildly lashing the air around him with electric crackles.

“Should we really keep waiting? The end of the world is coming!” a squad member, holding onto a tree to avoid being blown away, sent an electronic communication to Colin.

If it hadn’t been confirmed several times that they were on the same side, he might have suspected a mole.

“If I don’t speak, we keep waiting.”

Colin stood with his hands behind his back, watching ahead.

And it was at that moment that he suddenly sensed something, looking up at the sky to see the thick Dark Cloud suddenly tearing open, as if the sky itself was being ripped apart…
