Chapter 81: TIME TO ATTACK

Chen Yu stood amidst the crimson remains of the last monster, its body dissipating into particles of light. His obsidian eyes reflected the silent battlefield of the anomaly zone — now cleared, dominated, conquered. The ground beneath him was cracked and burnt from the chaos of battle, yet the man standing there showed no signs of weakness. Only determination.

A familiar chime echoed in his mind, followed by the cold yet satisfying voice of the system.

[Ding! Congratulations on killing the final monster of Sector 1 – Anomaly Zone.]

[Reward: +100 Attribute Points]

[Sector 2 of the Anomaly Zone has now been unlocked. Only those who have cleared Sector 1 are eligible to enter.]

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Sector 2...?"

His lips twitched into a slight smile.

"So the Anomaly Zone isn’t just a chaotic realm. It has levels... sectors. I didn’t know any of this in my past life."

He clenched his fist, feeling the immense power coursing through his body. His energy no longer felt like a raging tide — it was now a tsunami.

"Even though I still can’t access the full power of Chaos... I’ve gained more than enough."

His stats had long since broken past the limits of ordinary challengers. With the constant battles, hunts, and near-death experiences of the past one and a half years inside the time-accelerated zone, he had risen far beyond the comprehension of average awakeners.

"With this, I can crush most enemies without even lifting a finger."

Chen Yu looked back one last time at the now silent battlefield.

"I’ll explore Sector 2 soon enough... but first, I have something to do."

With a flash of energy, he exited the Anomaly Zone.

Outside the Anomaly Zone — Mumbai, India

The skies above were bright and cloudless. The city had barely changed, still wrapped in the illusion of peace. For the people outside, only a single day had passed. For Chen Yu, it had been nearly two years of endless slaughter and growth.

He looked around until he spotted a non-challenger walking toward the station. Calmly, he stopped the man and asked, "What’s the date today?"

The stranger answered without suspicion. As soon as Chen Yu heard the date, a wave of relief passed through him.

"So the barrier worked... Time inside the zone passed, but the outside world stayed the same. Good."

He raised his eyes toward the sun overhead, gauging the time by its position.

"Still noon. That means I’ve got around twelve hours left."

He clenched his fists, the shadows around him rippling faintly as his SRR-ranked energy pulsed.

"It’s time to begin my plan."

The calm in his expression vanished, replaced by cold, lethal intent.

"The Beast Kingdom... I once thought of staging a rebellion, attacking from the inside... but after midnight, the walls between realms will fall. There won’t be time for subtlety."

He closed his eyes, recalling his promise.

"Vornark... I told you I’d make you the king of the Beast Kingdom. But I never said how I’d do it."

He opened them again, his gaze sharp and merciless.

"I’ll take the kingdom by force."

No more waiting. No more hesitation. The beasts had once ruled over humans like cattle, enslaving, experimenting, and slaughtering with impunity.

Not anymore.

He would bring war to their doorstep.

He would tear down their emperor.

And he would raise Vornark to the throne — not through diplomacy, but by the weight of his own dominance.

As his aura expanded, people around him unknowingly shivered, glancing around without understanding the source of the invisible pressure.

"It’s time to show this world," he whispered, "what happens when chaos is unleashed."

And just like that, Chen Yu’s figure vanished into thin air, a ripple left behind in space.

The final march toward the Beast Kingdom had begun.

With a flicker of violet light, Chen Yu emerged inside the entrance hall of his vast, luxurious mansion. The air felt still—eerily quiet. None of his companions seemed to be around.

"They must all be in the training ground," he murmured.

Wasting no time, he silently stepped through the corridors and activated the hidden passage to the underground training facility. The moment the door opened, waves of pressure hit him—dense, honed, battle-hardened.

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed as he stepped in, carefully hiding his presence. Inside, five figures moved like blurs, exchanging techniques with deadly precision. Meiyun and Ruxue fought in perfect tandem, fire and draconic energy swirling around them. Hui was sparring with Vornark and Roman—though it was more accurate to say she was toying with them, her demonic aura overwhelming.

They’ve come far, Chen Yu thought with a rare flicker of satisfaction. The time barrier he had placed over the training grounds months ago was working perfectly. One day outside equaled one full month within. Two days had passed in the real world—two months of nonstop training in here.

He activated the Eye of Truth. Transparent panels flickered into existence before his eyes, each one displaying vital details of his allies.

Chen Yu let out a small breath. "Hui’s energy stat has surpassed a thousand... impressive. But even then—" A subtle grin tugged at his lips. "I’ve finally surpassed her. I’m not just above them in stats... I’ve become a true apex predator."

Before he could step forward, a flash of black and red blurred in front of him. He blinked—only to see Hui standing inches away, her golden-red eyes narrowed in playful menace.

"I felt you the moment you stepped in," she said, a teasing smile curling on her lips. "You really thought you could sneak past me, Master?"

Chen Yu raised a brow. "I used both stealth and artifact support. You shouldn’t have sensed me."

"I always sense you," she said, her voice low and tinged with emotion. "You’re finally back... after two whole months."

Chen Yu blinked, then chuckled softly. "Right... two months for you all. For me, it’s been almost two years inside the Anomaly Zone. Time really flows differently depending on the barrier."

Hui’s expression softened. "You’ve changed." Her eyes scanned him, almost hungrily. "Stronger... colder... yet somehow, more refined."

"I had to be," Chen Yu replied calmly. "The monsters inside weren’t kind. And the deeper truths I found... weren’t either."

As the others noticed his presence, their training paused. Meiyun gasped in joy, and Ruxue rushed over with wide eyes, her fiery aura dancing unconsciously with emotion. Vornark grinned proudly, while Roman gave a respectful nod.

"Welcome back, boss!" Vornark said.

"You’re really back..." Ruxue said, her voice nearly trembling.

Chen Yu looked at all of them—his allies, his companions, and perhaps, in some way... his family.

"I’m back," he said firmly. "And we don’t have much time left. Tonight, the walls protecting the Beast Kingdom will vanish."

Everyone’s expression sharpened.

"I was planning a slow rebellion. But now... we strike first."

"Against the Beast Emperor?" Meiyun asked, a flicker of concern in her voice.

"Yes," Chen Yu said coldly. "We won’t waste time playing games. I gave Vornark my word—I never said how he’d become king. But now... I’ll make sure the throne belongs to him. By force, if necessary."

He turned toward the exit, cloak billowing behind him as raw power leaked from his body.

"Rest up. Tonight, we march to war."

As Chen Yu lay down on his bed, exhaustion finally caught up to him. After years’ worth of training inside the Anomaly Zone and checking on the incredible progress of his companions, his body welcomed rest. The soft hum of energy surrounding his mansion faded as he closed his eyes—and drifted into a deep slumber.

But the peace did not last long.

Darkness engulfed his mind, heavy and suffocating. Then suddenly, he found himself standing in the middle of a battlefield—cracked earth, burning skies, and howls of dying creatures echoing all around.

A massive war was underway.

His companions stood beside him—Meiyun, Ruxue, Hui, Roman, and Vornark—facing an enormous army of beastfolk and corrupted creatures from the Beast Kingdom. The air was thick with killing intent, the very world trembling from the intensity of the conflict.

Flames burst from Ruxue’s staff as she incinerated a charging monster. Meiyun, wrapped in golden dragon energy, soared through the sky tearing apart flying enemies. Vornark had assumed his true beast form—towering, fanged, and ferocious—ripping through enemy lines. Roman, shining with holy light, stood like a radiant wall in front of Hui, defending her from incoming attacks.

And then—

A terrible aura descended like a thunderclap. It was cold... unnatural... overpowering.

The skies turned black.

The battle came to a sudden halt as a single figure stepped forward from the shadows, walking slowly yet confidently onto the scorched battlefield. He was tall and cloaked in a swirling dark mist, his face obscured by a silver mask etched with ancient runes. Every step he took caused the earth to shatter and the beasts behind him to kneel.

Even the Beast King froze in fear.

"What... is that?" Chen Yu muttered in his dream, unable to move. He tried to summon his energy, but it felt distant, like it was being chained down.

The masked man raised a single hand—and with a flick of his fingers, a black beam shot across the battlefield. In one instant, Roman was thrown back, coughing blood. Vornark was forced to the ground, his massive body trembling under the pressure. Meiyun’s dragon form cracked like porcelain, and even Ruxue’s fire dimmed.

Only Hui stood tall, her demon aura flaring, but even she gritted her teeth as her energy clashed violently with the stranger’s.

Chen Yu finally moved, fury erupting in his chest.

He roared, activating every ounce of power he had—Chaos Energy, Draconic Fusion, Soul Compression. The ground beneath him exploded as he dashed toward the masked man.

Their fists clashed—

BOOM!

He was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth. He crashed through a mountain, the impact leaving a deep crater. His bones cracked, vision blurred, and still... the masked figure hadn’t even moved from his spot.

"You’re not ready," the figure said, his voice distorted, echoing like a thousand whispers layered together.

Chen Yu gritted his teeth and forced himself up. He couldn’t lose. He wouldn’t lose.

But his limbs felt heavy, his energy erratic. No matter how many skills he unleashed or how much he pushed his stats, the gap was like heaven and earth.

The masked man raised his hand again.

"NO—!" Chen Yu screamed, trying to protect his allies as another black beam tore toward them.

And then—

He woke up.

Gasp!

Chen Yu sat upright in bed, his heart pounding violently. Sweat dripped from his brow. His hands were shaking.

"A dream...?" he whispered. But his instincts screamed otherwise. That wasn’t just a dream. That was a warning.

Who was that masked man?

Why did he feel so terrifying, even compared to everything Chen had faced?

And more importantly—why was he helping the Beast Kingdom?

Clenching his fists, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.

"I don’t know who you are... but I’ll find out. And next time—we’ll see who bows."

He got off the bed, his aura flaring slightly as he walked toward the window.

The Beast Kingdom... the masked enemy... this was only the beginning.

The real war was coming.
