Chaos Unleashed
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The hysterical roar erupted amid the throng of monsters. A silver lower-ranking human, clad in coarse linen and seemingly unremarkable, commanded attention with his voice, drowning out the noise of millions of extraordinary troops.
An oppressive aura swept across the land for miles, accompanied by the emergence of a blooming flower, a symbol of a tormented soul finally breaking free to express its anguish.
The surrounding mutant monsters were oblivious to his struggle. Their primal instincts drove them to kill and devour, their blood boiling with the desire for destruction and growth.
Amidst the chaos, four or five towering giant cockroaches spread their brown-green wings and lunged at the man, who appeared to be a mere slave.
"Ah ah ah ah! Howl~"
His frantic scream transformed into a chilling hiss as an overwhelming power surged skyward, piercing through the scarlet sky.
This madness was a transformation learned from the evil alchemist Maku in the dark city—Yue Fang's original master. However, the white epidemic had enhanced this chaos, evolving it into a cataclysmic bloom, a one-time super transformation.
The attacking creatures were obliterated in an instant, crushed under the weight of a power that surpassed what any silver subordinate should possess.
The hysterical roar continued as the surrounding monsters charged again. The once-helpless servant began to change dramatically.
His coarse linen burst apart, revealing bulging muscles. Bright red veins erupted across his body, morphing into scarlet tentacles that writhed and flailed.
"Ah ah ah ah~"
Now towering over nine meters, the creature with scarlet eyes unleashed a deafening roar that sent shockwaves through the ranks of surrounding monsters.
Massive airwaves erupted, instantly shredding creatures within hundreds of meters, splattering blood across the battlefield.
The sky, once merely scarlet, became a deep, ominous red, festering with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.
The monstrous figure raised its colossal fists high, tentacles extending wildly as it tore through one monster after another.
Its countless eyes burned with a rage that had been building for far too long—an entity once bullied into submission, now seething with resentment toward the world and all living beings.
"Ho~"
With a primal roar, it slammed its fists into the ground.
Boom!
The earth shattered under the force of its blow, sending shockwaves that rippled across the landscape, leaving devastation in its wake.
Mutant creatures, catastrophe beasts, and even humans were reduced to mere crimson stains on the ground.
The overwhelming bloodlust in the creature's eyes intensified. This pungent scent, once a personal torment, now signaled its newfound power—the ability to instill fear in others.
It craved destruction, a cathartic release for the pent-up fury that had consumed it.
With a slight crouch, the creature sprang into the air, targeting the densest cluster of monsters.
Hundreds of eyes filled with frantic madness, it raised its hands skyward.
Then, it plummeted down.
The immense force behind its fists struck the ground like a meteor.
Bang!
The impact resonated like a thunderous bell, obliterating everything in its vicinity.
At the center of the devastation, all living beings were reduced to mere fragments.
Rational members of the ancient god kingdom nearby began to flee, their eyes wide with fear.
This kind of power was beyond their capacity to withstand.
Faced with such a colossal monster, they felt no inclination to resist; their only instinct was to escape and avoid being annihilated.
"Hohoho~"
The roar of the rampaging creature echoed through the air, its destructive rampage surpassing the might of an intercontinental missile in mere seconds.
It was alive!
It would hunt down every powerful being. It would eradicate the world!
"Ho~"
A purple tiger, towering over ten meters, emerged from the void.
It regarded the wild bloom with solemn eyes. This abyss lord had initially sought to remain uninvolved in the ancient gods' affairs. Yet, through a series of coincidences, it found itself drawn into the conflict.
The arrival of many abyss lords was akin to being guided in the shadows, compelling them to accept the ancient gods' invitation, believing it would serve their interests.
But now, facing the monstrous figure before it, a sense of foreboding washed over the tiger.
Currently, it was only at level 74. In a coalition of such powerful beings, it had no right to choose; it was simply too weak.
The giant tiger lifted its gaze, the power of the purple abyss swirling in its maw.
The moment the wild creature leaped, a hundred-meter-long pillar of abyssal energy shot forward, aiming to engulf the rampaging monster.
Buzz~
Like the sound of flesh burning, the creature struck by the abyssal force was sent soaring, its scarlet tentacles disintegrating under the onslaught.
Wounds opened across its body as the abyssal energy rapidly consumed its flesh and blood. Its eyes burst one by one, leaving it powerless against the onslaught of the abyssal giant tiger.
But in that moment, amid the remaining eyes that had not yet ruptured, a surge of anger reached a breaking point. Struggling against the overwhelming force, the creature's rage intensified.
In its mind, a human voice emerged from the primal roar.
The voice was laced with bitter fury, replaying the injustices of its life, questioning the world itself.
The sky darkened to a deeper scarlet as it resonated with its newfound power.
"Why? I'm an extraordinary being who has finally emerged. I've glimpsed a brighter future. Why has my reality become this hell? What did I do wrong? All I wanted was to live a better life!"
"Why, why, why?"
"Damn you all! What gives you the right? I'll bury you alongside me—go to hell!"
The increasingly hysterical questioning and roaring reverberated through the abyss lord's energy field, igniting an intense sense of danger within it.
The tiger's scarlet eyes widened in disbelief. In its perception, the monster was no longer a mere silver-tier being; it had risen to the gold tier in a matter of moments.
Now, with its life force rapidly dwindling, this creature had ascended to the pinnacle of gold—and it was still rising!
What on earth was happening?
"Accompanying the funeral."
The abyss lord's eyes filled with shock as the wild bloom unleashed its full strength. It surged forward with an incomprehensible speed.
Before the abyss lord could react, a thunderous roar emanated from the creature, carrying with it an anger that surpassed understanding.
Boom!
Even the irrational mutant creatures surrounding them began to retreat in fear, unable to comprehend the sheer power of their kind.
Boom boom boom.
As destruction unfolded, questions echoed in the chaos. With an overwhelming force, it would obliterate everything in its path, leaving only a scorched earth behind.
Nearby, players watching the monstrous tide swallowed hard. What in the world was happening?
Members of the Metropolitan Council shared their confusion.
They were presented with six live feeds: the top left from Hedinger's magical broadcast, the top right from Eric's technological feed, the left from the wild bloom's perspective courtesy of the white epidemic, and the right from the white epidemic's players. Below, the whispering army's viewpoint was relayed to the parliament.
Bai Yi stood at the center, a smile on his face.
Though fatigue lingered in his features, his eyes sparkled with youthful confidence as he slightly bowed to them.
With a wave of his hands, the central perspective shifted, revealing an assembly of at least 500 teleportation arrays at the East City Gate of Dongwu City.
All the figures appeared similarly attired, their garments tattered and their bodies exuding sorrow.
Their strength varied, with the highest being silver-tier and the lowest barely reaching silver.
"These are slaves from a small world under my control. The nobles shattered their will, and I've granted them new life. A new beginning, where they can defy the world."
"This connection serves to showcase some of my accomplishments. Please, witness."
Pop!
Bai Yi's voice rang out with a hint of amusement. He snapped his fingers, and hundreds of teleportation arrays sprang to life.
Dai An watched Bai Yi with bright eyes, captivated by his poise. This confident young man reminded her of the cold, reserved boy who once tried to deceive her into parting with her wealth. It was a dichotomy she found appealing.
A powerful spatial fluctuation rippled through the air as Bai Yi raised his hand, adjusting the camera's focus.
Suddenly, the perspective shifted to reveal the endless crowd outside the city.
"Ah ah ah!"
The familiar roar erupted from within the throng, reverberating through the masses, echoing across the boundaries of sight.
Bang!
With the onset of the wild bloom, chaos ensued.
Monsters towering nine meters high, their muscles rippling, emerged onto the battlefield, unleashing roars that sent tremors through the hearts of ancient gods and abyssal beings alike.
The giant tiger lord, recently spared by Han Buna, felt a surge of fear. As the deathly cries filled the air, he hesitated, his voice wavering, "Madam, I'm too weak to resist monsters of this caliber. I must retreat."
His words faltered as he gazed at the beautiful woman before him, trembling in her presence. How could it be? How dare this ancient god toy with him?
Han Buna, her heart steeled, glared at the giant tiger. With a flick of her wrist, she crushed the core of the abyss lord in her grasp.
The tiger's body stiffened, collapsing to the ground. It couldn't comprehend the betrayal. Why save it only to destroy it?
Han Buna licked the remaining blood from her palm, her eyes reflecting dissatisfaction. It seemed she hadn't expected even vampires to taste so mundane.
A commanding voice echoed, resonating across the void: "Before any family members perish, I will eliminate anyone who dares to retreat."
The scarlet aura intensified, darkening the sky further.
Han Buna stood resolutely as powerful energies erupted around her, spreading wildly among the more than 500 beings gathered, ready to engage in battle.
"Ah ah ah ah! Howl!"
Nearby, the wild bloom, feeling her presence, let out a frantic roar. It propelled itself forward, cracking the ground beneath its feet as it surged toward her with astonishing speed.
The bloodthirst in its eyes flared, and the devastating fighting spirit of a third-order legend surged forth, coalescing into a blood bat that shot toward Han Buna.
"Hoho~"
As the rampaging wild bloom approached, it began to wither, its monstrous form shrinking as if it were being drained by an unseen force.
"Why? On what basis? The world is in ruins. Join me in obliterating it!"
"Ho~"
Once suppressed by any force, even momentarily, the wild bloom would unleash its final strength to pull the world down with it.
The creature, now dwindling in size, suddenly swelled, its body stretching to twelve meters, adorned with nearly a thousand eyes and writhing tentacles that created an overwhelming sensory impact.
Han Buna frowned, about to speak when a slight tingle interrupted her focus.
In that moment of distraction, the wild bloom erupted with its full power. It raised its fists high and crashed down with a ferocity that could shake the heavens.
Han Buna raised her hand in annoyance, and the blood of the wild bloom was instantly drained, leaving behind a lifeless husk.
Bang!
In an instant, countless monsters were obliterated, and the wild bloom was reduced to dust by its own reckless force.
Han Buna lifted her hand, inspecting the remnants of the wild bloom. "The taste of anger is rather ordinary."
Buzz~
A deep, resonant sound filled the air. Han Buna turned her gaze toward the city wall, dozens of kilometers away, as if a young man stood there, watching her.
Bang!
A golden bullet pierced through the barrier in front of her, the scorching power stinging her head.
She reached out instinctively.
Touch!
The immense impact forced her to stagger back.
Her eyes narrowed in solemnity. What kind of weapon was this? How could it possess legendary power?
Observing the chaotic battle and the legion suffering heavy casualties, her expression darkened.
Dongwu City posed a greater challenge than she had anticipated.
Turning around, the scarlet energy surged as she rushed toward the wild blooms, determined not to let her forces fall prey before the battle had truly begun.
On the wall of Dongwu City, Bai Yi held a massive Barrett, more than three meters long.
With a smile, he declared, "This is my latest development: the Barrett Liyang. While it may lack the power of rules, in its extreme state, it possesses legendary strength—like the ability to breach a third-order legendary shield, as demonstrated just now."
