Chapter 1058: 709

Amidst the void, the golden giant statue clashed fiercely with Big Lead’s projection.

The insect god’s golden spear was dull and dim, as the strength that had suppressed her for decades was drained considerably, or rather, forced to be drained considerably.

This allowed the insect god to unleash her own strength, and she let out a piercing scream.

She immediately issued a furious directive that reached every Mutant and the mind of every alien water ghoul.

This directive forcefully overrode the commands issued by the Queen of Xuan City that all aliens must not rise immediately from the water, must not leave the Bottom Nest, and must not appear before the people of Xuan City.

And so, hell descended.

At the villages and towns surrounding the inland lake, huge water ghouls clambered onto the banks, swinging their sharp claws, attacking the unarmed villagers. A patrolling unit, struck with terror, fought back hastily, only to be torn apart immediately by the endless tide of alien water ghouls.

On the magnificent white stone bridge above the inland lake, where the processions heading to the grand festival of Xuan City had been gathering, they too fell victim to a bloody massacre. One of the invitees, renowned for his martial prowess across the continent, wielded a large saber and with his companions, managed to kill several water ghouls. However, before he could catch his breath, a long, sharp stinger suddenly shot out from below the bridge, piercing his chest and dragging him into the water, staining the lake red.

Atop the outer city walls of Xuan City, guards discovered in horror water ghouls emerging from the lake and began using their four strong arms to scale the walls.

"Where did these monsters come from? Damn it, shoot arrows!" the guards bellowed in rage, only to turn and see the city they were guarding already ablaze.

In the wells and rivers of the outer city, one after another, alien creatures roared forth, among them were some bizarre, misshapen ’humans’.

These were the channels specifically dug by the Queen of Xuan City for mobilizing the aliens in emergencies; now, they became death traps for the citizens of Xuan City.

The creatures were exceedingly special in ability, demanding great sacrifice from the brave warriors of Xuan City to slay the water ghouls.

Only to discover that from the slain water ghouls, blood and water oozed out, devouring the corpses of their own kind, and from within the blood, forming even more, and even more terrifying aliens!

As the aliens invaded, Xuan City, caught completely off guard, turned into hell in a blink.

They wouldn’t even leave behind a corpse; whether it was the slaughtered people of Xuan City or the killed alien creatures, all were dissolved by the blood-water, becoming even more aliens.

This was the revenge the insect god had awaited for decades. As a Divinity, she was enslaved by human hands. This humiliation, she would repay in full upon the people of Xuan City.

Even the Inner city was not peaceful; the entrance from the Inner city to the Bottom Nest was a lift basket underneath a palace.

It was heavily guarded.

At this moment, aliens had begun an assault from below, fighting fiercely with the Royal Guard defending it.

As Xuan City’s mightiest warriors, their abilities were far superior to those guards of the outer city. Thus, although the battle within the Inner city was intense, they could still keep the situation under control.

But the residents of the outer city and the villages were not so lucky.

Many were caught completely by surprise by the slaying of the aliens, and the massive deaths fueled an even fiercer increase in the number of aliens.

"Lord of Xuan City above, exterminate these monsters!"

"There really are Abnormalities!"

"Defend Xuan City!"

Unaware of why this calamity had befallen them, they fought desperately until they died in battle.

It was at this time that Qiu Wentian happened to save a mother and daughter and returned to the inn.

Guo Yi and the others immediately sealed off the inn’s well and, together with the patrol teams from Xuan City’s outer city, relied on the inn to construct a defensive line to shelter the civilians.

"There are just too many of them," Chen Yu sensed from within the inn, realizing that battles were erupting within several miles around them.

The Abnormalities’ abilities caused the number of aliens to grow as they fought.

After their death, the blood they turned into would consume any organic matter and rapidly create new aliens.

As the number of aliens surged, resistance fighters everywhere fell into crisis.

"If the entire population of Xuan City is devoured, then even if the Expeditionary Army arrives in full, I fear they won’t be able to eliminate them," Chen Yu bit her finger as she thought rapidly. The incident had taken her by surprise; she hadn’t anticipated the insect god would suddenly arise from its coffin.

Next to her, Qiu Wentian spoke up, "Facing such a number of aliens, the best plan would be a decapitation strike. To behead that insect god. Unfortunately, we can’t spare any hands now."

The number of aliens grew incessantly; Xuan City was rich in resources. The insect god could easily obtain nutrients.

The pressure of direct confrontation was immense.

Even Qiu Wentian, who had witnessed several war scenarios, was not confident in breaking out from there.

"Could Li and his group be facing off against the Xuan City Queen right now? Is it going to be a three-way battle?" Chen Yu pondered in her mind.

At that moment, a visitor arrived.

It was none other than the Priestess of Spring who had earlier invited Li Changhe and Xiao Nan.

She had stayed in the outer city, ready to guard against any moves from Chen Yu and the others.

She hadn’t expected the Priestess of Autumn to disappear without return, and for the insect god to suddenly break free, plunging the entire Xuan City into crisis.

In a rush, she had to fight her way to the inn, intending to have a frank conversation with Chen Yu.

"What have you all done?" As soon as she saw Chen Yu, the Priestess of Spring noticed the Priestess of Autumn on the floor and helped her up, growling at Chen Yu, "How dare you... How dare you release the insect god!"

She had always believed that the revival of the insect god was the doing of Li Changhe and the others, aiming to expose the secrets of Xuan City.

"Heh," Chen Yu snorted coldly, "When it comes to inhumanity, we can’t compare to you people of Xuan City. Now, coming here to seek retribution is simply foolish! Better think about how to save your own people!"

Indeed, from a certain perspective, the revival of the insect god had something to do with Li Changhe.

The Xuan City Queen wanted to twist Li Changhe’s mind to make him fully agree with the Queen’s plans and become a true kindred spirit.

As a result, Old Lead laughed. And bit the lord of Xuan City.

The strength suppressing the insect god weakened as a consequence.

Chen Yu might not know the specifics and hadn’t seen the projections in the void, but she didn’t believe Li Changhe and Xiao Nan would release the insect god just to complete the Task.

She understood both of them very well and was extremely confident in this conjecture.

However, now was not the time to discuss this issue. The priority was to combine their strength and safely weather this crisis!

"Once Xuan City faces trouble, the Queen’s power will wane, and the strength suppressing the insect god will decay yet again! If you continue to attack the Queen, then prepare to face an unrestrained insect god, its power even greater than before!" the Priestess of Spring said, "Tell them to stop!"
