Chapter 1105 - 756: Containment

Chapter 1105: Chapter 756: Containment

The night sky blossomed with a huge firework, illuminating the entire city.

The meteor was shattered by a crimson arrow, and the scattered star fragments fell upon the sea surface.

Only then did many players start to snap out of their dreamlike state.

"Really... witnessed quite the spectacle," a player murmured as he gazed at the Water Dragon in midair.

It was indeed a shocking scene, when that enormous meteor was hurtling towards the city. Many players had already given up in despair, as it was a force they could not stop.

This kind of high-speed catastrophic object flying high in the sky was beyond even the top players on the Battle Power Rankings.

If the Holder had been in his peak State, then perhaps there would have been a glimmer of hope.

But after a prolonged suppression, the players were now running on empty.

With the meteor crashing down on Canghai City’s district, it was unknown how many would be affected by it.

And what they could do was to protect themselves from the terrible impact that was about to come.

However, as the meteor drew near, the Water Dragon soared into the sky.

The hero from the disaster fog stood in the path of the meteor.

Wielding a longbow, he shattered the star with a single arrow!

This moment would be forever etched in the minds of the players present.

"General Li Ba, a true hero indeed," a player admired, "After all, he is the Crownless King..."

"The title of Crownless King... truly well-deserved!"

"However, that arrow seemed not to be his own strength. Was it from a far more powerful being?"

"What does it matter? With just that arrow, he’s enough to be called a hero!"

....

Compared to the admiration from the players on the ground,

Li Changhe in midair appeared somewhat vigilant. He placed the longbow back into his backpack with his left hand, and his right hand was pressed to his chest.

The negative Effect of all attributes reduced by one had already appeared on him.

The last bit of strength left by Chen Tianjiao had just been fully released.

He was no longer capable of using that arrow that shattered the star, should another meteor appear.

He would only have to... resort to his last trump card.

That would be to activate Mythical State·Azure Midnight.

According to Chen Tianjiao, Li Changhe’s Mythical State is best not used in the Real World, otherwise, some people might notice and target him.

But at this point, Li Changhe could no longer afford to hide his strength.

Fortunately, there were no changes in the sky.

And a few minutes later, all players received a [Task Complete] prompt. The officials had successfully sealed the Apocalypse Song inside the Dream Cruise.

The various disasters that had appeared before also vanished at this moment.

Judging by the time, it was more than half an hour earlier than the Book of Heaven’s prediction.

It seems, more or less, the Book of Heaven’s calculation had been influenced by Li Changhe.

This allowed Li Changhe and Xiao Nan to breathe a sigh of relief. Only a little over three hours had passed and a meteor had appeared. If it had been dragged out longer, who knows what other catastrophes would have occurred?

Li Changhe also relaxed his tense nerves and began to take in the scenery from high above.

He was flying this high for the first time, as a guy who had never been on an airplane.

His feeling at the moment was quite wonderful.

"Who would have thought, I actually became a Dragon Knight," Li Changhe said as he sat on the dragon’s head, patting the Water Dragon, his words full of emotion and admiration for the flying ability, "If I get the chance, I must get myself a flying mount...."

Xiao Nan beside him, however, revealed a smile.

While controlling the water dragon to fly into the distance, he leaned on Xiao Nan’s body.

Then he snapped his fingers, and the water dragon carrying them immediately reforged into a Water Giant Lobster.

This made Li Changhe’s face twitch.

So much for that beautiful fantasy.

He had gone from being a Dragon Knight to a Lobster Knight.

Looking at the girl with a mischievous smile, Li Changhe first glanced at the ground and saw that they were already far away.

He then changed his armor to casual, light clothes and hugged Xiao Nan tightly, his hands gently caressing her form-fitting Demon Armor and her smooth, tender back.

He nibbled on the girl’s earlobe. Finally, he found the opportunity to properly teach her a lesson.

"Girl, you don’t think just because my attributes have temporarily dropped that I can’t make you cry, do you?" Li Changhe said in a low voice.

Xiao Nan, stimulated by his actions, blushed to the tips of her ears.

After a futile struggle, she could only divert the topic, "It is said that Chen Yu successfully contained the Apocalypse Song. The enhancement she received from the previous Xuan City Task made her even stronger. Perhaps, that’s why the containment time was shortened."

Indeed, Li Changhe had become an unpredictable variable that even the Book of Heaven couldn’t foresee.

Therefore, he took part in the Xuan City Task, and it resulted in the strengthening of Chen Yu’s abilities—something the Book of Heaven had not calculated.

That’s why their predicted time was four hours.

But in reality, the enhanced Chen Yu greatly shortened this duration.

"I really should thank her," Li Changhe said sincerely. "Otherwise, who knows what kind of devastating natural disasters would have occurred next."

"Mm, containing the Apocalypse Song took a heavy toll on her. When we get back, let’s make her some chicken soup to replenish her strength," Xiao Nan responded. "After all, she can’t gain weight."

Li Changhe could only nod silently; he didn’t dare to ask why Chen Yu couldn’t gain weight.

Meanwhile, a heated argument ignited on the [forum].

The cause was a statement by a retail player who mentioned that the Apocalypse Song had appeared in a certain plot world before.

At that time, they were severely injured during the task and used an Escape Coin to flee without understanding the specific intelligence about the Apocalypse Song.

However, several Black Palace players were also involved in that task.

They should have some intelligence on the Apocalypse Song.

And now that the Apocalypse Song had appeared within Hua Country’s borders, the Black Palace, supposed allies of humanity, hadn’t shared any information. This was almost traitorous, deserving of condemnation!

In response, some Black Palace players stated that they had no information regarding the Apocalypse Song and called it slander.

The retail player cursed and revealed the nicknames of several Black Palace players. Once players confirmed that these individuals were still alive, they became even more convinced of this claim.

This led to many players condemning the Black Palace on the forum, believing that they deliberately withheld information about the Apocalypse Song, causing the Great Wall to suffer losses.

This seemed to make sense, especially since international media began to report extensively on the appearance of the Apocalypse Song, criticizing the Great Wall for its inadequate defense and numerous security flaws...

It’s a wonder where these media’s eyes were when, during the Disaster Fog Incident, the casualty rate of the populace under the Black Palace’s protection exceeded 50%.

It wasn’t until someone posted on the [forum],

"Hero Emerges, General Li Ba Shatters the Star with a Single Arrow," that the focus of the discussion shifted.

Some praised his great strength and imposing spirit.

Others questioned his reliance on external forces and doubted his true strength.

Some said that General Li Ba only took action to save his girlfriend and couldn’t be considered a true hero...

Still others claimed his methods were cruel, smearing his enemies alive on the city walls, with no honor of a warrior to speak of—more ruthless than God’s Chosen of the Blood River... a comment Blood River would probably enjoy.

Of course, these posts had no impact on Li Changhe himself.

While the [forum] was abuzz with heated debates, he had already returned to his family apartment and began to sort out the rewards from this mission.
