Chapter 1811: Revised: Chapter 550 Machinery Ascends to Divinity

The Flood Gang is the most upscale brothel in Sinless City, filled with High Tier card masters, yet it remains chaotic.

The rest of Sinless City is even worse.

The cities where card masters gather naturally have various forms of transcendent contamination, such as the ashes from burnt bodies, sewage from alchemy workshops, and even waste from the sewers... The contamination in Sinless City is even more severe. This has been a characteristic since it became a haven for exiled criminals, and nobody cares.

This provided the best environmental conditions for the spread of Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta’s insect eggs.

Most importantly, whether they are people from the Southern Continent or the indigenous people of the East Wilderness, they lack understanding of that Seven Catastrophes Monarch.

No one expected the Orlan Royal Court to employ such a "kill 800 enemies, lose 1,000 of your own" method of city slaughter.

When today’s outbreak truly happened, most people in the city were drained of their life force by the matured parasitic worms inside them within a very short time, bursting out from their bodies.

Now, the city is awash with the tide of worms and the unending screams of anguish.

Starting in the commoner areas, then gradually surrounding the affluent districts.

Not just ordinary residents but adventurers, mercenaries, and even knights of the formal legion have many infected among them.

Every moment, people around are exploding to death.

Then from the corpses erupt swarms of worms, spreading further.

Gradually converging into an unstoppable insect swarm.

Zombie-like puppets controlled by the parasitic worms throng the streets.

Fear quickly pervaded the entire city.

The living had only one thought: survival!

....

Countless people ran towards the city gates, but with so many infected, escaping to the outskirts was nearly a death sentence.

More people chose to surge towards Downing Street near the docks, because there stood the nine-story magic tower of the Iris Legion, and several neighboring blocks housed tens of thousands of formal legion troops.

Within moments, dazzling magic fireworks erupted all over the city.

The Iris Legion’s main legions, due to their camp having defensive barriers, special provisions of food and water, had fewer infected.

Thus, they controlled the situation in the initial chaos.

These legions immediately engaged in fierce combat with the insect swarm within their stationed street blocks.

However, the worms did not decrease; instead, the more they killed, the more there were.

As long as there were hosts like those spirit mediums, various worms could grow and reproduce infinitely.

The most frightening aspect wasn’t the worms, but the fleeing masses!

Facing death, everyone recklessly surged towards the docks, seeking legion protection, aiming to board the Void Dragon Ship and travel to Hundred Battle City on the Old Continent.

But amidst the refugees, countless people were unaware that various worms moved beneath their skin and within their eyes.

They had long been parasitized; the worms merely exploded at a later time.

Some were directly under the control of Mind Control Worms, frantically breaching the outposts.

Faced with these tides of refugees, the high command of the Iris Legion initially let some through but suffered greatly for it and dared no more.

Yet every moment saw countless refugees surging towards the docks on Downing Street, including legion knights and formal mercenaries withdrawing from other street blocks. They were brothers-in-arms, so neither fighting nor allowing them through seemed viable.

The conflicts intensified in an instant.

The Third Legion guarding the docks did not dare allow the crowds to breach; they held them outside.

But with the worms increasing relentlessly, the outside crowds spiraled out of control, surging towards the docks heedless of the risk of being killed.

This scene unfolded not just at the docks but at various garrison camps within the city.

Clearly, the worm swarm was under the control of a mysterious force.

Appearing chaotic, it was actually meticulously directed by supreme intelligence, systematically assailing all defensive measures in the city.

The infection spread with order, steadily advancing.

The Iris Legion struggled against countless refugees and the insect swarm, falling into a hopeless deadlock within a short time.

....

At this moment, inside the Third Legion’s command room at the docks.

A middle-aged man with striking crimson handlebar mustaches sat sternly at the head seat.

His imposing figure emanated pressure, offering an invisible feeling of Demon God’s authority even with eyes half-closed.

He was none other than the Grand Marshal Andre of the Iris Legion!

Presently, several legion commanders were visibly distressed, animatedly discussing the battle situation.

"Damn it, why are there so many worms? Why is the intelligence group completely unaware?!!!"

"This is trouble now. Those worms are endless, and if this continues, they will only increase..."

"Stop complaining, there’s divine fluctuation within the city, highly likely it’s Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta. Earlier intelligence mentioned that people from the East Wilderness obtained a pottery jar from the Behemoth Ruins on the Old Continent. Seems it’s one of the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs..."

"..."

Upon mentioning the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs, the room fell silent.

Ordinary people may not have access to that level of information, but these high-ranking officers have somewhat heard of those seven ancient Outer Gods who once destroyed the formidable Taren Empire.

Currently, the Southern Continent still faces upheaval from Crimson Corruption Seyadis and War Disaster Master Mondliod, two of the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs.

This awareness was far more direct.

Even two Dragon Gods couldn’t handle them, let alone anyone else.

Though everyone in this room were top-tier experts of Eighth and Ninth Rank, they were utterly powerless facing this insect infestation.
