Chapter 516 The Stormy Deep Sea and the Stage Ready

"An urgent report: Attention all citizens, according to real-time monitoring by the National Meteorological Administration, a strong wind of unknown origin with an intensity of no less than level 17 has formed 200 kilometers away from our city and is rapidly approaching our city. It is expected to make landfall in Wanghai City in one and a half hours."

"Extreme wind and rain will affect the entire city. All citizens are urged to immediately cease all outdoor activities, return indoors as soon as possible, check and reinforce doors and windows, and close all windows..."

Wanghai City, 3:30 PM.

According to the weather forecast, there was supposed to be a thunderstorm at 3 p.m.

Thick clouds began to gather in the morning, and the faint rumble of thunder could be heard in the air, making a heavy downpour inevitable.

Just as the air humidity increased and a few raindrops began to fall, and people started to prepare to open their umbrellas, the rain suddenly stopped.

Before people could even wonder what was happening, their phones received a disaster warning from the weather bureau.

The warning was worded very alarming, especially the warning that the mysterious typhoon that was about to make landfall would be no less than level 17, which threw the entire city into panic.

The citizens were in a state of chaos, and the management office was in complete disarray.

The meteorological bureau broadcast a level 17 typhoon warning to the citizens, but what they were told was an extraordinary and catastrophic disaster.

Before the world instance, under the guidance of the Light Society and the Evolutionists, the erosion of the abyss on Blue Star continued to deepen, and extraordinary disasters emerged one after another.

Such a powerful natural disaster is rare even on the entire planet Earth.

According to intelligence from the Extraordinary Meteorological Department of the Administration Bureau, if this sudden typhoon is allowed to develop unchecked, it has the potential to destroy the entire Wanghai City, causing damage comparable to an A-level out-of-control instance.

Faced with such a natural disaster, it was beyond the ability of ordinary extraordinary beings in the desolate realm to cope. The staff of the Wanghai branch were like ants on a hot pan, constantly dealing with calls from all sides, driving to various parts of Wanghai City, and coordinating the evacuation of citizens.

In contrast to the busy members of the Administration Bureau, Wu Chang, the director, remained calm and composed, using his Level 2 Investigator authority to learn about the knowledge related to the Realm of Reason.

dong dong dong.

Wu Chang didn't even look up, and said, "Please come in."

The office door opened, and Jianxing, Meng Yawen, Lei Huo, and Director Gao walked into the room.

Director Gao glanced at Wu Chang and said irritably:

"An extraordinary calamity is imminent, yet you remain so leisurely."

Wu Chang glanced at the four of them, raised his teacup, took a sip, and said in a relaxed tone:
"What's the panic? Wanghai City is a treasure trove; typhoons rarely hit this area. I had the meteorological bureau issue a warning just in case."

Lei Huo shook his head slightly. He knew that very few typhoons could reach Wanghai City, but this time was different.

“This is an extraordinary disaster, unlike any typhoon that Wanghai City has experienced before. Without external intervention, extraordinary disasters will only get stronger.”

Wu Chang put down his teacup and said in a firm tone:
"Similarly, as long as they are typhoons, they pose no threat to Wanghai City."

Seeing that the others didn't seem to believe him, Wu Chang could only add:
"Even if a typhoon blows in, it doesn't matter. New Future has already deployed extraordinary disaster mitigation facilities along the coastline, which can greatly suppress this typhoon."

Everyone was stunned. Wait a minute, less than two hours had passed since they held a meeting and approved New Future Company's plan, and New Future Company had already started to take action.

Wu Chang switched the monitoring system, projecting the construction scene by the sea onto the office screen.

Seeing dozens of robots, as if they had pressed the fast-forward button, quickly and in perfect unison erecting metal tower-like structures, everyone looked bewildered.

What is this thing? Does this kind of technology exist on Earth?
Before they could speak, Wu Chang said;

"New Future is the strongest technology company in Wanghai City. When I said before that we could complete the 'Eternal Light World' project in five days, I wasn't joking."

Under the influence of absolute rationality, everyone immediately accepted this explanation.

Sword Star then spoke up:
"Facilities designed to deal with ordinary supernatural disasters are probably insufficient to weather this crisis. This supernatural storm is highly unusual, appearing without any warning, and it is likely to be hostile."

Wu Chang looked thoughtful and said:
"You suspect this is the work of the Theory of Evolution?"

Sword Star nodded and said:
"Professor Shi Ning said that the lower-level gods who broke through Abyss Island had the ability to control storms and oceans. We may be facing not only the Evolutionary Faction of the Realm of Reason, but also the three lower-level gods that the Society of Light sent to Blue Star."

Wu Chang frowned slightly, his expression freezing, changing from calm to solemn.

"If that's the case, all we can do is ask the Order faction for help and get their people in the Realm of Reason here as soon as possible."

"It's not just the Administration Bureau; the other three major organizations should also take action."

"Among the three lower gods of the Light Society, one can activate the Rainbow Bridge, a special teleportation ability that can penetrate even dimensional barriers. With that person around, there might be more guys coming to attack Wanghai City than we imagine."

Sword Star said:

"Before coming to you, I had already asked the bureau for help. This time, the Evolution faction acted too quickly, and they need time to prepare."

“Our people in the Li realm can arrive before the storm hits, but it will take at least two hours for the people from the other three major organizations to get to Wanghai City.”

"According to the prediction of the Extraordinary Meteorological Department, this means that we and the people from the Reason Realm must hold this place alone for at least half an hour before we can wait for the assistance of the other three parties."

Wu Chang sighed and said:
"We have to be able to, even if we can't. If all else fails, we'll bring the battlefield into Wanghai City. The ultimate weapon developed by New Future Company might be able to help stop the Evolutionists."

He looked at Meng Yawen, Director Gao, and Lei Huo, and said sincerely:

"I am not good at evacuating residents and managing personnel, so please take care of it."

Director Gao said with a smile:

"Now that you are the director, you should give direct orders when assigning tasks, without using the 'please' option."

After seeing the four people off from the office, Wu Chang returned to his seat. The seriousness on his face disappeared, and he sat back in his office chair to continue reviewing the intelligence on the Li Jie.

Wanghai City is Eileen's divine kingdom. When an extraordinary disaster approaches with overwhelming force, Eileen and he will naturally sense it immediately.

Before the storm was observed by the Bureau's Extraordinary Meteorology Department, I had already used the Heavenly Gang Escape Technique to sneak up close and take a look. He clearly saw divine power in the storm and already knew that this storm was caused by humans.

He knew without guessing who was behind this storm; it was none other than the Evolutionary Faction of the Realm of Reason and the Society of Light.

If he wanted, he could handle the battle alone before the storm was even detected by the Authority.

But he chose not to do so.

Although it is unknown what intelligence the other side obtained, the outcome of this battle was already decided the moment they set the battle location in Wanghai City.

A group of opponents who are not strong enough, but make a lot of noise, are undoubtedly the perfect material for him to complete the first job change task.

Since the other party wants visuals, he doesn't mind building a large enough stage for them to perform to their fullest potential.

However, to make the scene more exciting and dramatic, he made a small adjustment to the Pillar of the Present World to help the Evolutionary Faction of the Realm of Reason better demonstrate its power.

So from the very beginning, his concern was not whether the members of the Wanghai Branch and the Lijie Administration could hold out for half an hour, but whether the Evolutionists could hold out until he made his move.

On the sea, the Tide Swallower, carrying an ever-increasing storm, sped toward the area where the Pillar of the Present World was located.

The closer they got to land, the more tense the atmosphere became on the Tide Swallow.

Blood Rose coldly said to the sea monster:

“What you’ve done has gone beyond the plan we discussed before, and I need an explanation.”

The sea monster ignored Blood Rose. With his eyes closed, he moved his hands like a conductor, listening to the howling storm with a look of delight.

Snapped!
A long whip covered in thorns lashed at the sea monster's chest, the deadly poison at the tips of the thorns jolting it awake from its dazed state.

Blood Rose repeated:
"I need an explanation."

The sea monster, though whipped, showed no anger. He spoke to Blood Rose:

"My Tide Swallower needs to absorb enough flesh and blood to unleash its full combat power. The Seaview City, which is close to the Pillar of the Present World, is the best flesh and blood supply station."

"As long as I devour all the flesh and blood of Wanghai City, the Tide Swallower can spew out the black tide from the deepest part of the Abyss of the Realm of Reason, which is the primordial water of the deep sea that can wash away divinity."

The sea monster pointed at Blood Rose and Triton, and said:
"Once submerged by the Black Tide, beings like you will be melted into nothingness in the blink of an eye. You want to kill Peace, don't you? Just help me summon the Black Tide, and no matter what tricks Peace uses, you won't be able to leave alive."

Upon hearing the sea monster's words, Blood Rose and Triton felt a sense of foreboding. They knew that the sea monster had not revealed everything and was planning something.

But their intuition also told them that the sea monster was dangerous, and that rashly stopping it might cause it to turn its blade on them before attacking Peace.

Blood Rose was, after all, the leader of this operation, and there was no reason for her to back down just because of a sea monster's words. She said:
"You promised me before that you would try your best to avoid casualties until you were certain that peace could be maintained."

The sea monster scooped up a fish, opened its mouth, and swallowed it whole. It then licked the blood from the corner of its mouth and said:

“I thought only the superhumans were human. The ordinary people in Wanghai City were no different from sea fish in my eyes. They were just flesh and blood that provided me with nourishment.”

"not to mention……"

The sea monster changed the subject, looking at Triton, and said:

"This storm has consumed nearly half of the mermaid's divine power. If you agree to my plan, this portion of divine power can be transformed into a black tide that will destroy peace."

"If you insist on stopping me, because of your decision, not only will the mermaids' strength be greatly reduced, but you and I will also be severely injured in the battle. At that time, the remaining guys will not be able to defeat peace."

Blood Rose clenched her fists. The sea monster was right. Even if she could stop the sea monster, this operation would fail because of her choice.

Moreover, she also agreed with the sea monster's words. Her previous statement about not causing casualties was indeed aimed at the Bureau's superhumans, not ordinary people.

She and the sea monster had already touched upon divinity. In their eyes, ordinary people were no different from domesticated animals. Moreover, she was not a citizen of Xia Kingdom, so she had no psychological burden in taking action against Wanghai City.

After weighing the pros and cons, she agreed to the sea monster's plan. "You'd better stay in Peace, otherwise you'll be in big trouble when you return to the Realm of Reason."

The sea monster laughed and said:

"Believe me, more than any of you, I long to leave peace and devour him whole, skin and all!"

In order to wait for the storm, the sea monster could not move forward at full speed, but with Triton's help, they arrived at the edge of Wanghai City in just fifty minutes.

The storm summoned by Triton has already reached as far as Wanghai City.

As the storm hit, Wanghai City was shrouded in torrential rain. The rain curtain, like a water cascade, obscured the city, making it difficult to see clearly.

This is why the approach of the monster, the Tide Swallower, did not cause panic among the residents of Wanghai City.

The sea monster let out a non-human howl, and with his roar, a storm swept towards Wanghai City.

The moment the storm hit Wanghai City, Triton and the sea monster simultaneously exclaimed, "Huh?"

The storm created by Triton and the sea monster not only had winds exceeding level 17, but also carried powerful divine and oceanic forces. However, when this storm made contact with Wanghai City, it failed to overturn even the streetlights and small trees on the coast.

At first, they thought it was an accident, but as the storm progressed and eventually engulfed the entire city of Wanghai, they saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, but they still couldn't see any damage caused by the storm.

At the Wanghai City branch, Wu Chang and Jian Xing stood in the rain, feeling the impact of this "super storm".

Without a doubt, the storm was fierce; it made the treetops shake violently, and if you tried to open an umbrella in the rain, it would be blown inside out in an instant.

But this wind was gentle; it was powerful but had no real destructive force.

Sword Star asked in confusion:
"According to the intelligence from the Extraordinary Meteorology Department, the level of this extraordinary disaster has not decreased, so why can't we feel its destructive power?"

Wu Chang said without changing his expression:
"As I said before, Wanghai City is a treasure land, and natural disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis cannot threaten Wanghai City."

This reason is perfunctory, but whether it is realistic or absolutely reasonable, Jianxing and the others have no choice but to believe it.

However, only Wu Chang knew the real reason.

This storm was stirred up by Triton using divine power, which is at the heart of this storm.

But what kind of place is Wanghai City?
It is Eileen's divine kingdom!

There are only two possibilities for an alien deity to use its divine power in Eileen's divine kingdom.

First, one must be at least two levels higher than Eileen in rank, creating a crushing difference in their realm, in order to disregard the suppression of the divine kingdom.

Secondly, they possess special abilities, such as the ability to penetrate divine kingdoms, or special abilities condensed by intermediate gods, like the undying holy fire.

Whether it's one or two, Triton's storm is insufficient. The part of the storm that overlaps with Eileen's is neutralized by the divine kingdom, and with the protection of Eileen's divine kingdom over Wanghai City, the storm naturally becomes mild and harmless.

As they were talking, they suddenly saw the clouds overhead change, like a black curtain that enveloped the entire city of Wanghai.

Jianxing frowned and muttered:

"What do they want?"

The top floor of Wan'an Building overlooks the highest point in Hai City.

"What do they want to do?" Wu Changzhen asked the raven beside him.

The raven, observing the unusual activity in the sky, said:
"The storm's controller is using the storm's divine power to set up a ritual around Wanghai City to prevent the gods from descending."

Wu Chang said to Eileen, who was next to Raven:
"They came for you."

Eileen gazed at the sea, looking at the strange and ferocious Tide Swallower, and said:
"This storm is filled with cruelty, rage, and a thirst for flesh. They want to completely destroy Wanghai City and devour everyone in it. I don't like them."

Wu Chang wrinkled his nose. He had thought that the other party had created this storm to deal with the Order faction that had descended from the Realm of Reason, but he did not expect that it was aimed at the ordinary people of Wanghai City.

He asked the raven:

"Who is in control of this storm, and what is their purpose?"

Raven pointed to the Tideswallower and said:

"That ship possesses the blessing of the deep sea; it devours flesh and blood and can unleash tremendous power."

"The person who controls it has been corrupted by the deep sea and his will is on the verge of collapse. The blessing of the deep sea within him seems to have sensed your primordial bloodline of the deep sea, which is why he has become so insane."

Wu Chang narrowed his eyes; it seemed the other party had initially come for him.

He said to Eileen:

"I don't like him either. I'll make him disappear in a bit."

On the Tide Swallower, the sea monster and the others had completely given up hope. Not only could the storm not harm Wanghai City, but the divine power within the storm also dissipated rapidly for unknown reasons.

They could only cut their losses in time. Blood Rose unfolded a parchment and threw it into the storm, using her remaining divine power to set up a ritual to prevent the gods from descending.

Although the ceremony was completed, Blood Rose's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Players who stay in the Realm of Reason for a long time will have their will eroded unless they have their own private space or a large amount of decaying silver coins to stay in the safe zone for an extended period.

The sea monster is insane, and she's not exactly normal either. The sea monster's behavior is driving their actions out of control, and without gaining anything, she's decided to kill them.

She stared at the sea monster and said in a cold voice:

"You messed things up."

The sea monster didn't care about Blood Rose's obvious killing intent; he said in a maniacal tone:

"I sensed that presence; peace is within the divine descent ritual! He is watching us!"

These words caused Blood Rose's murderous intent to subside, and her rationality returned.

Before Blood Rose could say anything, the sea monster continued:
"If you want to destroy Peace, you have no choice but to trust me and help me find flesh and blood!"

"If we don't have the flesh and blood of mortals, we'll use the flesh and blood of those guys from the Realm of Reason!"

Blood Rose didn't want to go crazy with the sea monster, but their target, the Pillar of the Present World outside Wanghai City, showed an energy reaction, indicating that the Pillar of the Present World had been activated, and members of the Order of Reason would arrive soon.

She had no time to think, so she could only grit her teeth and ask:

"Are you really confident you can kill Peace?"

The sea monster confirmed:

"Of course!"

Blood Rose made up her mind and said:
"Then let's do it your way!"

Upon hearing Blood Rose's agreement, the sea monster roared with excitement and steered the Tide Swallower directly onto land.

The sea monster took out a huge metal lion's head and placed it on the bow of the ship. The lion's head spewed out deep blue seawater like a fountain.

The seawater only forms a thin layer on the ground, but the massive Tide Swallower, when it lands on the water, seems to glide smoothly as if it were sailing on the sea.

He sailed to the Pillar of the Present World via the man-made waterway.

The sea monster transformed back into human form from its ramming state, controlled the Tide Swallower to sink into the water, and addressed the 120 Origin-level players on board:
"Spread out and leave no one alive!"

The players of the Evolutionary Faction dared not disobey the sea monster, so they immediately dispersed to the surroundings, concealed themselves, and waited for the Order Faction of the Realm to enter reality.

A minute later, accompanied by a flash of white light, a member of the Realm Management Bureau emerged from the Pillar of the Present World.

Next came the second place, then the third place...

Upon seeing the eight members appear, the Sea Monster and the Blood Rose revealed themselves and were about to make their move.

To their surprise, the Pillar of the Present World did not close down, and new members continued to emerge from it.

The ninth person, the tenth person...

The 90th person...

The sea monster and the others stared blankly at the Pillar of the Present World. They counted one by one and found that a full hundred people had passed through the Pillar of the Present World before it reluctantly closed.

No, why is the Pillar of Peace accessible to so many players?
Blood Rose and the sea monster couldn't understand it, nor did they have time to understand it.

The two exchanged a glance. It was a bit more troublesome than they had imagined, but not a big problem.

Fortunately, they gathered all the manpower from the fifteen Pillars of the Present World, along with one hundred Root-level players. In terms of both numbers and quality, they were weaker than the enemy. Although it would be somewhat difficult, it was still a massacre.

Blood Rose was about to give orders when she suddenly saw the Pillar of the Present World, which had just been closed, suddenly reopen, and this time there were four exits!
As before, members of the Reason Order emerged from each exit of the Pillar of the Present World.

The 101st person...

The 201st person...

In the end, a full five hundred members of the Order of Reason appeared densely packed before them.
