The end of the world: The Goddess Catalogue, starting with sisters!

Mengde frowned because there were simply too many zombies!

This was completely unexpected!
He had estimated that the entire Yulong Base could withstand the number of zombies.

But now...
Mengde's confidence wasn't that great anymore!
Blood-red mist, like pus from a burst dam, gushed out from the top of the city center of Donghai City. The thick red mist churned and surged, as if the entire city was being soaked in the digestive fluid of some living organism.

The air was filled with a pungent, fishy stench, like the smell of rotting metal mixed with sulfur, and every breath made my lungs burn.

The alarm at the Dragon Base ripped through the night sky, its sharp shriek twisting and deforming in the red mist like the wail of some dying creature.

The guards gripped their weapons tightly, their knuckles turning white from the effort. They stared intently at the churning wall of fog in the distance, their throats tightening.

"What...what the hell is this thing?"

A young guard's voice trembled, his pupils reflecting the crimson light as if he were seeing the entrance to hell.

No one answered him.

Because the answer is already obvious—the red mist is boiling.

The fog was no longer slowly eroding, but rather stirred, churning, twisting, and expanding as if stirred by some invisible force, like the breath of some enormous creature.

With each inhalation and exhalation, the red mist expanded its range, twisting steel, crumbling concrete, and even corroding the air, causing it to hiss and wail.

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"

Lei Qiang's roar echoed across the base's perimeter wall.

His lightning power was already gathering in his palm, and the blue-purple lightning looked particularly eerie under the reflection of the red mist.

However, the instant he finished speaking—

"boom--!!!"

From the depths of the red mist came a deafening explosion.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble, as if the entire city was being torn apart by some enormous force.

The guards stumbled and clung to the wall, looking in horror toward the source of the sound—the center of Donghai City.

The crimson mist there has condensed into a blood cocoon with a diameter of one kilometer, and strange pulsating patterns have appeared on its surface, like the heartbeat of some kind of creature.

Each pulse is accompanied by a deep hum, like some ancient call.

"Something inside... is about to come out..."

Someone murmured.

As if to confirm his guess, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the blood cocoon, and scarlet mycelium emerged like tentacles, twisting and writhing in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the entire blood cocoon burst open!
"Roar--!!!"

A piercing scream, beyond human comprehension, swept in, shattering all glass objects within a radius of several kilometers.

The guards clutched their ears in agony, blood seeping through their fingers.

In the center of the bursting blood cocoon, a slender figure stood in mid-air.

—The Crimson Queen has completely descended upon the Dragon Royal Base!
She wore a long dress woven from red mist, her skin was as pale as porcelain, only her eyes were pure blood red, without pupils, yet they seemed to be able to look directly into the soul.

Her bare feet touched the air, each step causing ripples in the space, as if the whole world was bowing down to her.

"Mengde..."

Her voice resounded directly in everyone's minds, echoing with a seductive quality.

"Can your flames burn down my kingdom?"

Before the words were even finished, the red mist suddenly erupted!
Millions of scarlet tentacles shot out from the mist, raining down on the protective shield of the Dragon Royal Base.

The pale blue basalt barrier cracked under the impact of the tentacles, oozing viscous, scarlet mycelium that seemed to be eroding the energy barrier like a living thing. "Hold on! Don't let the mist in!"

Lei Qiang roared, and the power of thunder exploded. The electric grid outside the protective shield shattered, burning the attacking tentacles into charcoal.

However, the burned tentacles twisted and turned into small zombies after hitting the ground, roaring as they lunged at the guards.

"Damn it! They can regenerate!"

The guards fired their guns, bullets piercing the zombies' skulls, but more monsters poured out of the red mist.

Their forms are more distorted than ordinary zombies—skin peels off, bones are exposed, joints are twisted into inhuman angles, and hoarse roars are squeezed out of their throats, as if responding to the queen's call.

In the center of the battlefield, the Crimson Queen slowly raised her hand, and crimson mist condensed into a blood-red spear in her palm.

The next second, her figure vanished!

When it reappeared, it was already close behind Mengde, its spear piercing straight into his back!

"Boss, be careful!"

Lei Qiang's warning was drowned out by the sound of the explosion.

Meng De suddenly turned around, and the moment his longsword [Thunder Radiance] was drawn, the blazing white plasma flames and blue-purple lightning intertwined into a spiral, slashing at the incoming spear!
"clang--!!!"

In the instant the metal clashed, the blood-red spear liquefied and passed through the blade, coiling around Mengde's wrist like a venomous snake!

corrosion!

Mengde's skin instantly turned bluish-black, but the Flame Overlord's supernatural power immediately erupted, incinerating the invading scarlet mycelium.

He spun around abruptly, his blade flashing with pale white flames as he swept across, forcing the queen back. In the instant his left hand clenched in mid-air—

"burst!"

The eighteen compressed fireballs that had been lying in wait around the Queen exploded simultaneously, and the shockwave tore a vacuum zone a hundred meters in diameter through the red mist!
As the smoke cleared, the queen's figure dissipated into mist, only to reassemble in another place.

She laughed, her voice like the whispers of millions overlapping:

Physical attacks... are ineffective against me.

Mengde narrowed his eyes, golden flames burning in his pupils.

"Then try this."

He slowly raised his hand, unleashing his SSS-level ability [Flame Overlord - Final Form]!
Centered on him, the air within a 500-meter radius was instantly sucked out, transforming into a fiery domain of absolute vacuum. The ground melted into crimson magma, and the clouds in the sky were ionized into thunderous vortexes.

For the first time, the Queen showed a solemn expression.

The red mist began to boil.

The real battle has just begun...

Millions of scarlet tentacles burst forth from the mist, stabbing towards the protective shield of the Dragon Royal Base like venomous snakes.

The pale blue basalt barrier trembled violently under the impact of the tentacles, cracks spreading like a spider web, and scarlet mycelium frantically eroded along the gaps, greedily devouring the energy barrier as if it were a living creature.

"Warning! The shield's energy level has plummeted!" Inside the command tower, the monitor's voice was almost a scream.

Meng De's eyes narrowed, and his longsword [Thunder Blaze] was instantly drawn. The blazing white plasma flames and blue-purple lightning intertwined into a spiral, and he slashed at the oncoming group of tentacles!

"boom--!!!"

Wherever the blade passed, the tentacles snapped inch by inch, and the bursting scarlet mycelium twisted and burned in mid-air, emitting a piercing shriek.

However, the severed tentacles, upon hitting the ground, wriggled as if alive, rapidly reforming into dozens of small zombies that roared and pounced on the guards! (End of Chapter)
