SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 842 - 842 572 Humanitys First Counterattack

Chapter 842: Chapter 572: Humanity’s First Counterattack! Chapter 842: Chapter 572: Humanity’s First Counterattack! “The King of Madness” saw the terrifying phantom that swayed its eighteen arms suddenly reached out toward him. Palm after palm, each bearing a toothless gaping mouth, locked onto him…

At the same time, numerous figures attacked; many of the entities that had been observing now took action!

“Tearing apart ‘Authority’ might lead to your death too! Leave now, and I will allow you to receive ample rewards after this!”

“Little one, if you choose not to participate, I will grant you a share of the same substance of Authority!”

“Being devoured by ‘Hunger’ will lead to total downfall; it’s a trap!”

“Do you really want to betray your own ‘Divinity’?”

“‘Primordial Fire’ has already withdrawn from the world, and ‘Hunger’ has long become a thing of the past…”

“…”

Urgent whispers came one after another, desperately trying to stop the actions of “The King of Madness.”

Although the nature of that “Hunger” isn’t much, letting it eat a portion of a First Level Containment Subject would change everything!

That guy absolutely must not succeed!

“Bonfire Company” is as specially attacked by “Hunger” as “Hunger” is specially attacked by Them!

At this moment, with the assistance of “The Gods,” “The King of Madness” needed only a thought to swiftly avoid those god-frightening palms and escape the fate of having his Authority torn apart—

Such an event had a certain probability of leading him to death!

Of course, refusal meant that the support event would be an utter failure, and he would return to that cage, sealed for eternity…

In the end, he gritted his teeth and advanced toward the dark green hand willingly:

“This is a test!”

Colin had invested too much in him; he couldn’t afford to give up now!

“Excellent!!!”

A face as compassionate as a Buddha statue appeared on Colin, as he stuffed “The King of Madness” into his stomach.

In that instant, “The King of Madness” nearly fainted…

The tearing apart of Authority was many times more painful than he imagined!

Even expecting it, he couldn’t help but wail in agony, his furious voice nearly spreading across the entire world…

Pain, so much pain, unbearable pain!!!

On Earth, almost all life heard the soul-deep, bone-chilling screams emitted by this being!

“The King of Madness,” including the consciousness of “World Code-13,” felt as if it had died when that part of “Authority” was torn and devoured. It completely wilted, shaking and curling up into a ball in pain.

“So good, so delicious… It’s been so long since I’ve tasted something this appetizing… Hehe…”

Colin couldn’t help but let out a crazed whisper, his face breaking into a twisted smile.

A massive array of attacks that were originally aimed at “The King of Madness” now turned toward “Hunger,” as if hoping to “rescue” him before he was fully digested.

However…

“It’s too late.”

Behind Colin, the previously translucent and barely noticeable “Hunger” solidified at this moment.

Its dark green skin shone with the texture of jade…

After a pause, facing the overwhelming attacks, Colin raised a fist:

“Watch closely, ‘King of Madness,’ this is how your power should be used!”

A Secret Force spread out, and everything in the space seemed to freeze in that moment.

Those attacks all stopped not far in front of his fist…

It was as if time had stopped.

Yet, the standoff didn’t last long.

“crack—crack crack—”

Colin clenched his fist and pushed forward, and suddenly the grating “crack crack” sound of shattering ice resounded through the air.

Invisible fissures spread out from his fist.

And with a “crack” sound!

The entire area exploded like a shattered mirror!

Countless forces shattered under the power contained in this punch, which bore the might of the “King of Madness” Authority.

At this moment, even “The Gods” had to withdraw to avoid the edge!

They might not fear the power of “The King of Madness,” but they dared not be injured. Once hurt, giving “Hunger” a piece of flesh to tear and swallow would lead to the worst of situations!

Seeing them retreat, Colin’s abdomen opened wide, and he spat a breath of dark green acid toward the ocean conceptually sealed…

At the same time, his fist raised again, charging up.

“Come, come, come! Feel the power of the remnants of the old era! Feel the power of ‘Hunger’!”

The terrifying vibration cascaded toward its target…

If they could breach the sealed ocean while the tide of attack and defense changed, it might make things a bit easier.

Unfortunately, there were several extremely powerful entities sealing the maritime area this time.

Even with the power of “The King of Madness,” it couldn’t breach it absolutely…

Unless they added “Formless Mother,” but likely she would not let him have a taste, and since summoning “Hunger,” Colin had realized he could no longer sense her presence or location.

He didn’t know if she was surrounded or had already left.

‘It’s been conceptually sealed, unreachable. I must wait for the power of “Red Moon” to strike; now the chances are slim.’

Colin watched for a while, finally choosing to retreat.

Seeing him show signs of retreat, a horde of terrifying creatures stuck to him again like a stubborn plaster.

Facing such persistent tactics, Colin had little means but to try constructing a temporary safe zone to protect himself, enduring this final period…

When the summoning time for “Hunger” was nearly up, Colin transferred all the nutrients to the “Stomach Wall.”
