Chapter 1424: Chapter 621: The Bloodstained City of the End

"Moreover, the scale of this city looks somewhat terrifying..." Mu You thought to himself.

Just one patrol team on the periphery consisted of hundreds of Titans, so the total number of Titans in the city must be at least in the tens of thousands...

Mu You didn’t dare to get any closer and promptly had the Barbarian stop, finding a place to hide, because there could very well be divine presences in the city, or Titans with sensory abilities like that female Titan, making it easy to be discovered if too close.

It was precisely because he had the advantage of vision that Mu You dared to approach the enemy’s lair so brazenly. If he were to be suppressed by the enemy’s vision now, things would really go awry.

Mu You then controlled his character to circumnavigate the city’s perimeter, continuously using the Fog-breaking Mirror to look back and observe the situation.

The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

The city was simply too large; its horizontal and vertical spans were each over a hundred kilometers, surrounded by a circle of tall walls. The center of the city was out of sight, but just the area of the perimeter and the number of Titans seen along the way indicated definitively that the population of Titans within the city was over six figures!

Mu You was a bit troubled.

If this Titan base was just a small tribe or village with a few hundred or a few thousand people, they might have stood a chance with overwhelming numbers to forcibly destroy it.

However, a city of over a hundred thousand people—how were they supposed to take that down? It was definitely beyond the capabilities of players at this stage.

"Can only have Sunset City retreat for now..." Mu You sighed.

This City of Titans was not too far from Sunset City, certainly within the range of a Titan assault. If the Titan army marched at full speed, it would only take half a day to reach Sunset City.

Right now, the Titans had not fully grasped the situation of Sunset City, but a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Once Sunset City’s location was discovered by the enemy, they would inevitably send a large force to attack the city.

If the Fools had a few years of peaceful development, perhaps they would have the capacity to withstand the Titan’s onslaught. But not now. Facing the imminent possibility of a Titan siege, the only solution was to avoid conflict, to have the Sunset City players evacuate to other cities in advance, then destroy Sunset City’s control mechanisms, leaving behind a dead city for the enemy.

But by doing so, it meant losing a city within less than half a year of establishing a presence in Sky High, which would surely damage the players’ morale.

Mu You shook his head. He put that aside for now, as there was something else on his mind: before he started his reconnaissance around the city, the text had prompted, ’The arm of the Blood God points towards the city ahead.’

Initially, Mu You thought that the location of the next Blood God Body just happened to coincide with the direction of the Titan city. However, as he circled around the city, the arm continued to point towards this City of Titans...

There was only one possibility: The Blood God Body he was looking for was inside this City of Titans!

"So a part of the Blood God’s body was taken away by the Titans?" Mu You found that odd.

He had already obtained the Blood God’s head, and the other parts couldn’t host life, so what in the world did these Divine Beasts want with the Blood God’s body?

After pondering for a moment without reaching a conclusion, Mu You decided to transform into a Titan and investigate up close.

Although transforming was very likely to be detected by the Divine Beasts immediately, there was no better option at the moment. He would extract as much intelligence as possible; in the worst case, he could just die once, since he could be resurrected.

With that thought, Mu You had the Barbarian and Bone Dragon stay hidden on the opposite side of the river. He went alone towards the city across the way.

[You have transformed into a Titan Scout, wading through the river waters, heading towards the city on the opposite bank...]

[You rapidly approach the city walls, not far ahead a Scout from another direction arrives at the city gate before you, stopped by the Titan guards at the entrance...]

[You follow behind the Titan Scout, inconspicuously nearing the city gate.]

[When you are a kilometer away from the city gate, you are suddenly surrounded by a familiar sensation.]

[You instinctively look up, only to see a layer of invisible Order Runes forming a barrier, enveloping the entire city...]

"An Order barrier?"

Mu You is startled.

Ordinarily, an Order barrier, much like a code of laws, is set to establish specific rules and constraints that all beings within must abide by.

However, such constraints are generally set for enemies; what were these Titans doing, setting up an Order barrier in their own territory?

Moreover, since Mu You had already obtained the authority of Order, the Titans should not be able to use the Power of Order, so who created this barrier?

Unfortunately, the barrier was too expansive, and Mu You’s perspective could only see the tip of the iceberg. There was simply no room or time to intricately analyze its function.

[The Titan Scout in front has smoothly passed the guard’s inspection; now it’s your turn.]

[You step forward, the Titan guard gives you one glance, showing no signs of suspicion, then gestures for you to present the Scout’s Handbook.]

[You pull out a handbook you had previously captured, and after a cursory inspection by the Titan guard, he waves you through, clearing the way.]

["The Seam God commands, upon returning to the city, immediately gather at the intelligence division!" With the Titan’s final reminder, you smoothly step through the city gate.]

"..."

Mu You’s expression is peculiar; he had truly managed to infiltrate, and it was all too easy, considering he had expected at least a big battle or something of the sort...

Moreover, these Divine Beasts actually failed to see through his disguise?

Mu You even suspected for a moment whether the Divine Beasts had already seen through him, but deliberately let him in for an ambush or something of sorts.
