Chapter 636: Chapter 471 Leaving_2

The remaining people with restless hearts, no matter how foolish, and regardless of how poor the communication conditions were in their environment, all realized there was a problem. Some even completely reformed. Bullying the mortals wasn’t supposed to be like this, but that existence in the City of Evil Spirits, whom the residents believed to be a ’god,’ was very keen on doing so.

Being good is difficult, but when choosing to be bad turns out to be even harder, who would want to be a villain?

"BOSS, the crime rate within the city has basically dropped to zero," Lilith said to Zheng Yichen as she looked at the hundreds of small projection screens in front of her. Two service robots gathered the bullet casings that had fallen on the ground, recycling them into the Universal Toolbox, where they were processed and reused into new ammunition.

"...What a bunch of cowards!" Zheng Yichen stood up from his swivel chair, rubbed his forehead, and took a glance around the environment, which now resembled an open-air secret base with the absence of half the skyscrapers.

He pinched the white ball beside him. While clearing out the problematic people in the city, he also gathered some additional spoils of war, such as the ashes that flew from the Great Evil God’s body, which some people received and gained significant strength.

After those people were blown up by Zheng Yichen, drones had collected the ashy remains. He now had more than two hundred of these ash particles, of which over one hundred sixty were positive, while the rest were simply weakened versions of the Great Evil God’s original ashes.

Those who obtained these things did not become good due to the nature of the ashes; on the contrary, those with bad attributes became worse, or rather, more distorted.

Over the past few days, the God of Rebellion remained static like a statue, but Zheng Yichen could feel that its aura had already surpassed that of the Great Evil God who had previously appeared.

"Recall those drones, let’s go," Zheng Yichen said as he placed the Army Decimating sniper rifle into the weapon case of the motorcycle that was unfolded. The last few days had improved his mood significantly; he was no longer in the terrible state of being on the verge of mental collapse like before.

Killing, it seemed, still had a soothing effect on his current mental state. As for the criminals who died in this city during this time... who cared?

Drones began to disperse in the sky. Some people noticed this, and the army, which had been provisionally dispatched by the city’s local officials, breathed a sigh of relief. Their experts analyzed that the unidentified presence was probably preparing to leave.

Shortly after, an explosion erupted from the top of a building that drew everyone’s attention, engulfing almost half of it. Some onlookers felt it was a pity as just from observations, they could tell the technology within the drones was extremely advanced. Yet now, it was all destroyed.

On Zheng Yichen’s way out, the frozen God of Rebellion opened its eyes, its gaze following Zheng Yichen. The God of Rebellion was under close scrutiny from many, and its newfound actions naturally attracted attention, causing more unrest among the people.

Some exorcists extracted information from Evil Spirits, learning about the God of Rebellion’s "status" in the realm of Evil Spirits—an existence entirely opposed to the Great Evil God. But the sudden appearance of another ’great god’ still left people feeling quite uncomfortable.

They were unclear about the impact that the God of Rebellion’s presence would have on the world, especially now that another being capable of confronting the Great Evil God also seemed to be leaving.

"First, let’s arrange for the people in this city," the temporary government of the City of Evil Spirits began issuing new orders. Thanks to Zheng Yichen, when they came to reside in and manage the city, they faced no obstacles. Everyone was quite cooperative; those who weren’t wouldn’t be their concern.

Such people didn’t survive more than half an hour.

What was a bit annoying for them was that every time they attempted to use this fact to issue wider announcements to speed up the integration of the survivors, their loudspeakers would be destroyed by some drones. Helicopters? The helicopters were jammed, and the signal towers had been blown up early on.

Now that the unidentified presence had left, it was their turn to exert their influence. Although by now, there really weren’t any unstable elements left to worry about. The remaining were either scared witless or had turned over a new leaf.

Regardless of what the future holds, for now, those people were stable.

As for the God of Rebellion... let’s set aside this even more troublesome existence for now. The interim government had arranged for some people to make contact with the God of Rebellion, but the result was the same as with a statue, showing no engagement with the outside world. Even those who attempted close contact would find themselves blocked by an invisible air wall, unable to approach.

Concerning this city that has almost completely turned into ruins, there’s no longer any need to consider repairing it. Experts have conducted inspections and found that a large area both within and outside the City of Evil Spirits has become irreparably overgrown wilderness...

The environment in the City of Evil Spirits has deteriorated to a state of unwildness that cannot be recovered. At the moment, due to the short span of time, no abnormal changes have appeared yet, butgoing forward, the environment here will become more like a desert’s voice, yet even more barren than a desert.

Any organic life without legs would struggle to survive here, and the weak would be devoured by the overgrown wilderness. Even the people here would be better off not staying for long, as prolonged residence could severely affect their health, and even have an irreparable impact on future generations.

This is a land doomed to be forsaken.

Fortunately, after rigorous testing by the experts, there were no signs of expansion of this wasteland... nor any signs of shrinking. It’s like a piece of paper that’s had a chunk directly removed; as long as no new pieces are torn off, the void will not grow, and the paper won’t self-heal back to its original state unless new material is added.

And they currently have no clue how to fill it.

"Is this still Kreich?" Rebecca clutched Alice’s arm tightly. After returning to Kreich, she was terrified, feeling fortunate about their previous encounter. Had it not been for sheer luck, she likely would have been one of the victims in this city.

The corpses within the city still hadn’t been completely cleared away, and it was said that these were not even victims of the Evil God disaster. Most who perished in that calamity were left without a whole body to be found, not even residues remained.

Most of the bodies here were left behind in the aftermath of the disaster, and some were executions by the ’Punishers’. After learning what those people had done in Kreich after the disaster, Rebecca had no sympathy for them.

Alice said, "I thought you would be angry."

They really shouldn’t have come here, but Alice’s parents were exorcists, and with her connections and certain special intelligence, she was sent to Kreich by a special aircraft. Now her mission was to make contact with the God of Rebellion.

Of course, if possible, the officials also hoped she could make extra contact with that ’Alien World War God’. In these past few days, the clerical staff at the official level have been losing a lot of hair, trying to more meticulously study the ancient mythological stories. The exorcists not assigned to Kreich were fully mobilized, catching Evil Spirits everywhere.

They extracted useful information from the Evil Spirits by force. The same Evil Spirits that once brought abundant troubles to humanity now appeared as victimized as the victims themselves.

From the perspective of the officials, the only existence capable of opposing the God of Rebellion would be another god, wouldn’t it? The Dusk mercenaries were also actively being sought by the officials.

Some tried to denounce that Alien World’s ’war god’, after all, victory, unrelated to native forces, came at the cost of Kreich’s destruction and countless sacrifices.

But such claims were quickly suppressed as soon as they arose. It wasn’t that certain things couldn’t be discussed; the sacrifices this time were indeed too great. A city of tens of millions now lay in ruins, with countless dead.

Denunciation wasn’t the issue; the problem was those who tried to denounce the ’war god’ of the Alien World—who obviously stood with the human race—instead of the Evil Spirit that brought all this upon them. In these extraordinary times, the officials were not inclined to indulge those who failed to see the issue clearly or tried to capitalize on it.

They would deal with anyone who showed their face, one and all.
