The sudden disaster caught everyone off guard.
After the World 32 was completely shrouded by the Death Territory, endless demons burst up from underground and launched frenzied attacks on the spatial rifts leading to the great nations.
At this moment, professionals from the various empires braced themselves and formed defensive lines in front of the rifts.
But not everyone could successfully withstand this disaster.
Because professionals' reserve power was insufficient, the defenses of some weak countries were gradually breached.
Countless demons streamed through the spatial rifts and began to pour into the Real World on a massive scale.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Because the other end of the rifts opened at random locations in the Real World, cities and corners across the countries whose defenses had been broken began to sprout fissures.
City streets.
Inside residential communities.
On building rooftops.
Garages, amusement parks, shopping malls.
In the first breached nation, the Lama Empire, spatial rifts appeared everywhere.
ROAR!
Humanoid demons with molten magma flowing over their bodies surged out of the rifts.
Civilians nearby in the Lama Empire, who had only ever seen Otherworld monsters on TV or in livestreams, were petrified to find them suddenly appearing before their eyes and were left panicked and helpless.
Although the Otherworld had already descended upon Earth a hundred years ago, for many people the Otherworld remained unfamiliar.
Over 70% of humanity worldwide are non-professionals and lack qualification to enter the Otherworld.
Some people live to seventy or eighty and have never seen an Otherworld monster with their own eyes.
With professionals guarding things, a century of peace had already made many forget that the Otherworld was a real place; to them it even seemed like a game world opposed to the real world.
In history, there have been no fewer than a hundred incidents worldwide of Otherworld spatial rift invasions, but most were extremely small in scale and were quickly contained by the professionals at the scene.
This time, however, it was a full-blown global outbreak.
In the Lama Empire, within moments, as many as hundreds of cities experienced spatial rifts.
Demons poured through the fissures and swarmed into human capitals.
"AHHHHHH!"
"MONSTERS! RUN!"
In city streets and alleys, countless civilians screamed and fled in terror when they saw the horrifying monsters.
Little did they know, the more terrified they were, the more excited those demons became.
The Otherworld, weighed down by darkness, had long since lost vitality and spiritual energy.
Aside from wanting to occupy human territory, those monsters had another more important goal.
The human world was rich with spiritual energy; once these monsters invaded the Real World they could massively feed on the spiritual energy born of living bodies, thereby growing stronger.
SSSHHH! SSSHHH!
Those demons, after bursting from the rifts, began greedily sucking the spiritual energy lingering in the air.
Then, a pair of blood-red wings sprouted from their backs, and their hands turned into blade-like claws.
Under the surge of spiritual energy, these small demons rapidly evolved into super demons.
The murderous aura within them multiplied instantly.
The next moment, they began hunting nearby humans.
The stronger the country, the more professionals it had.
In a small nation like the Lama Empire, ranked near 200 in the world, you might not find a single professional in ten people.
Most were civilians.
Facing these demon warriors, the civilians of the Lama Empire could only flee.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Demon warriors, like transcendent beings, darted about, knocking people to the ground, opening gaping maws and crushing a woman's skull in a single bite.
Professionals do not die so long as their [HP] attribute has not dropped to zero when attacked by monsters.
But unarmed civilians struck by such blows undoubtedly died on the spot.
Civilians were everywhere on the streets and alleys, utterly incapable of resisting the demon warriors.
They became prey, slaughtered one after another.
In moments, streets ran red with blood, corpses lay everywhere.
The air was thick with the stench of blood.
Countless elderly and children hid in corners.
The powers professionals obtained in the Otherworld can be fully applied in the Real World.
This has always been the case.
Only, because the Real World had no monsters and to avoid destroying reality, national laws clearly state: except when Otherworld monsters invade, professionals are not allowed to activate their professional powers in the Real World.
Otherwise, if professionals rioted, humanity might be destroyed by professionals before the monsters ever conquered the world.
Now, with massive monster invasions, the Lama Empire's professionals activated combat mode one after another.
Unlike the Otherworld, where logging in directly grants professional power, in the Real World professionals must touch the back of their hand for five seconds to activate their data.
Seeing family, friends, or neighbors slaughtered by demon warriors, those in the crowd who held professional identities, burning with rage, activated their data and manifested their forms.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
One after another, professionals emerged, materializing the equipment and skills they had acquired in the Otherworld and bringing them into reality.
Warriors, mages, assassins, archers, knights and other major combat professionals counterattacked the surrounding demon warriors.
Luckily, these invading demons were all a swarm of low-rank level-175 normal monsters.
As long as one's level was somewhat higher, dealing with these demon warriors was not difficult.
With more professionals materializing, they engaged the monsters in the Real World.
Some level-200 or level-300 professionals dispatched the level-175 demon warriors with ease.
A single skill could effortlessly kill a demon warrior.
But the invasion was too widespread.
There were always places professionals couldn't cover.
In the Lama Empire, remote small towns or villages lacked stationed professionals, leaving non-professional civilians unable to resist and mercilessly massacred.
Human cities and buildings also suffered massive destruction.
This situation did not occur only in the Lama Empire.
More than thirty countries around the world were simultaneously experiencing the same catastrophe.
Because the professionals of the World 32 could not hold back the monsters, the corresponding Real Worlds were invaded.
In an instant, almost the entire world descended into chaos…
