Chapter 844: Chapter 573: An Unexpected Visitor! Chapter 844: Chapter 573: An Unexpected Visitor! …

Rumbling echoes of explosions traveled from afar…

On a shattered piece of Earth, some officials who barely survived a brutal battle were supporting one another as they crawled out from the blood and stench of corpses, sitting down on a piece of wasteland that was relatively flat.

A seasoned member of The Great Wall sat down and watched missiles rising into the sky and the Red Moon descending, but his thoughts were not on them at all; instead, he was wholly recollecting the battle and couldn’t help but say with a sense of awe:

“Man, the feeling of using Extraordinary Power to its full extent is seriously thrilling!”

Since becoming one of the Extraordinary Ones and acquiring supernatural abilities, he hadn’t been able to go all out because of the severe side effects every time he used his power.

He had never fully unleashed it until today, until now, truly exploding with all his combat strength—

It’s just a shame that you get to burst forth your “Microcosm” like that only once in a lifetime…

After saying this, he waited for a compliment or two from his comrades, but none came.

His breath hitched, and he turned his head to see that, at some point, his teammate had slumped down against the wall, lifeless with half-open eyes frozen over with clotted blood.

“Weren’t you still moving just now? How come you can’t now? Old Li, I’m closing your eyes for you. It’s not too much to ask for one of your cigarettes, right?”

Former elite member of The Great Wall, Rogue, pursed his lips, closed his colleague’s eyes, then fumbled through his pocket and pulled out a tin box of cigarettes, casually taking several out and sticking one between his lips.

“Xiao Cao, any chance you can light this up for me…”

He then looked over at another body that was going cold and couldn’t help but grumble, “Seriously, you were just moving a minute ago. How come none of you can move now? We’ve just completed our mission, were lucky enough not to die on the spot…

“Don’t you want to chat with me a bit and relive the battle? Leaving so soon, in a hurry to reincarnate or something…

“Yeah, guess that’s not too bad. You guys die early and maybe queue up for me, I’ll have a smoke first, then I’ll be right over.”

With a “click,”

While mumbling to himself, he fished out his lighter and lit all the cigarettes, shakily placing one in each of the mouths of his comrades.

Then, he leaned against the wall with effort and sat down, taking a deep drag.

He continued to stare blankly at the “countdown” in the sky, reminiscing about the recent battle—

Being able to use Extraordinary Power freely without worrying about any negative effects, that kind of battle…

Was really just too thrilling!

“Finally got a taste of what those show-offs at ‘Bonfire Company’ feel like…”

As an elite member of The Great Wall, he might appear very young, and truth be told, he was young, but needless to say, his skill level was naturally top-notch. To be blunt, in the realm of the Extraordinary, he was one of the talents at the very top, seamlessly merged with his own power, earning titles like “Super Rookie” and “Supernova,” the spotlight of tens of thousands—

At least before those show-offs showed up.

But ever since they appeared, he was shocked to discover that his own life-threatening threshold of Extraordinary Power was less than their effortless baseline…

After he would use his power explosively once, the negative effects would torment him to death; those little bastards would sleep it off like nothing.

It was like being hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.

To give another analogy, it was like a person who was very skilled with a sword suddenly meeting someone with a gun.

Decades of hard practice couldn’t match the power of a bullet fired by someone pulling a trigger.

The gap couldn’t be bridged by talent or the lack thereof.

“Sigh, I just progressed too rapidly in the beginning…”

He sighed and shook his head; the lower limit for using that kind of drug was Level 6 and below, and because of his outstanding talent, he advanced rapidly, exceeding this level in just a few years—

And then, within a month, the people from “Bonfire Company” appeared.

He nearly had a mental breakdown during that period.

However, looking at it now, nothing really mattered…

“Huh…”

Another puff of smoke filled his lungs.

Rogue squinted his eyes, more regretful that he hadn’t had the chance to properly fall in love before it seemed his life was about to end…

But he didn’t dwell on it for too long.

At this moment, with a “boom,”

Another nuclear explosion could be heard in the distance, the deafening sound piercing through the air, and even from a great distance away, it could still be clearly heard.

“Cough, cough… Can’t even enjoy a smoke in peace!”

He coughed twice, about to take another drag when he suddenly noticed, the missile overhead that had flown for a long stretch seemed to finally make contact with its target.

He raised his right hand, flipping the middle finger towards the falling objects in the sky:

“Bastards! Humanity will prevail!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a blinding flash of light erupted from above, and a devastating shockwave fixed all of his perceptions in that moment.

…

As fragments of the “Red Moon” fell across the world, many seals were breaking down, and a multitude of abnormal life forms cast their gazes outward, only to retract upon seeing the fearsome crimson light.

Nevertheless, with the collapse of numerous seals, many “Inner Worlds” and other special spatial dimensions on Earth began to rapidly merge with reality.

Some of these spaces were even more vast than Earth itself!

The world was expanding at an unimaginable pace, layer upon layer, like a swelling abscess.

Perhaps from an astronomical standpoint, Earth hadn’t changed and remained the size of an ordinary planet.

But once someone entered, they would discover that beneath the layers of interwoven spaces, the world had expanded by tens of times and was still rapidly growing!
