Chapter 1383: Chapter 977: Omnipresent

The Human Champion Fleet galloped through the high skies of the wilderness, and wherever they saw an alien stronghold below.

The main ship, Dictator, would fire its main cannon and erase it directly.

And those alien strongholds that hid behind solid mountains or fortresses were broken through by force with the support ships dropping landing pods, releasing tanks, and employing the power of the army.

With the cooperation of heavy tanks and the human demon army, the alien firepower points were uprooted one by one.

In just one day, three alien strongholds were wiped out. Thousands of aliens were killed.

And the enemy’s anti-air firepower was hardly a threat to the main ship.

For a time, the fleet was unstoppable. The alien species in the wilderness fled non-stop.

And after several pilots from Comrade’s Hammer took turns relieving Li Changhe, as the ship’s captain, Li Changhe finally got some rest.

After three pilots connected to the main ship’s control system, Li Changhe left the control panel and sat on the captain’s throne on the bridge, planning to take a short rest.

Now, he was wearing a captain’s uniform that the officers had found somewhere.

Watching his warriors charge into battle, expelling the alien species, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of joy.

The fleet must now be the strongest force in the wilderness.

The powerful demon army slicing through alien chiefs, the fierce army breaking through enemy defenses, the fleet with thousands of guns was enough to completely annihilate the enemy on a physical level.

The feeling of having such great power at one’s disposal was truly rare.

Although as the Great Tang Tian Ce General, he should have had even greater authority in the Great Tang. But in reality, he had little chance and time to feel this power. Although he was the military’s number one, he was often on the road fighting or on the way to fight.

Now, the fleet established in the ninety-nine cities of the Netherworld had given him a sense of the beauty of power and force.

In a trance, he seemed to see his army achieving countless victories, driving out Chaos, annihilating different races, crushing Annihilation. Humanity once again became the master of this world.

The people within the giant city would look up to and worship him, build giant statues for him, paint portraits for him, and sing legends about him...

He would gain endless glory and power.

He would sit on a throne with countless generals kneeling below and numerous giant cities in submission.

And on both sides of the throne, two beautiful girls would praise him, their infatuated eyes as if they wanted to possess him entirely.

Fair and soft fingers touched Li Changhe’s robust body, cherry-colored lips kissing his cheeks.

"..." Li Changhe looked at the two girls caressing his body and their loving gazes, and he sighed softly, "It really is pervasive... just a bit outrageous."

Then... Li Changhe suddenly opened his eyes, completely breaking free from that glorious dream.

And punched the armrest of the captain’s throne, warping the solid metal.

The loud noise attracted the attention of the human demon army nearby.

"General, are you alright?" a human demon soldier leaned in and asked softly.

These human demon soldiers considered themselves Li Changhe’s royal guards, and there were usually dozens of demon soldiers guarding the bridge.

"I’m fine..." Li Changhe replied slowly, and then took a few deep breaths. He walked towards the rest area and found the players who were still resting.

He was clear about what had just happened; some Evil God was trying to corrupt him.

It really was pervasive, and it was unexpected to be invaded from this angle. To be corrupted by dreams within a sleep...

Due to the influence of the psychic storm, the Evil God probably didn’t know Li Changhe’s identity, it was just unconsciously influencing anyone who met the requirements.

In the rest area, after telling the players what had happened, Qiu Wentian, yawning, said, "It seems there’s a reason that the previous City Lord was corrupted. You have become a captain, possessing significant strength, but also the target of some Evil God’s corruption. Even if the other party does not know your identity, the Chaos Power remaining in this world will autonomously corrupt you."

"Honor, huh? Seems like the master of Pleasure," said Blue Dragon Slayer while drinking a cup of coffee, "This Evil God’s favorite thing is pleasure. If you had just indulged in glory and power, perhaps the effect would have been heavier. You might have been corrupted without realizing it, doing something you now think is outrageous, but the corrupted you wouldn’t notice at all."

"So, it would seem that every giant city’s City Lord and fleet captain are indeed targets of the Evil Gods’ corruption?" Moon God clicked her tongue, "Is there anything worse than this?"

Players were quite concerned whether those with high positions of power could resist corruption. Not everyone could forcibly wake up from such delightful dreams like Li Changhe.

Currently, the players’ Task progress was only at 3%, and that was after Li Changhe had taken down a giant city. One could only imagine what lay ahead.

If high-ranking officers in the upcoming giant cities were corrupted, it would truly be a disaster.

However, humanity has been able to resist the different races and Chaos for so long; they might have their own methods of resisting corruption.

"Things could be worse," responded the Blood Hawthorn, "Our next destination is Border City. And within our team, a significant number of people are quite skeptical about Border City. Some even hold a hostile view."

"Hostile towards Border City? Why?" asked Li Changhe.

"As a captain, and as someone who has slain numerous demons and Demigod Projections, it’s no exaggeration to call you the Supreme King of the fleet. Naturally, there won’t be any conflicts among factions in front of you," explained the Seahorse President with a shrug. "Our Awei Protection Association also has the ’cp party’ and the ’harem party,’ but in front of the leader, contradictions usually don’t emerge."

"Although the analogy is a bit strange, it’s the right idea," laughed the Blue Dragon Slayer. "Different factions, different perspectives."

"Even in a newly formed fleet, are there so-called factions?" Qiu Wentian inquired.

"Of course, given the different backgrounds of the fleet members: some are soldiers seized from nearby giant cities, some are survivors from Sky Mountain Giant City, and others are remnants of Comrade’s Hammer," the Blue Dragon Slayer explained. "Even though they can help each other against an enemy, once the enemy is no longer the primary threat, their underlying conflicts are bound to surface."

"People from other giant cities indeed don’t trust Border City. Or rather, people who aren’t from the same giant city don’t trust any other giant city. After all, each giant city has aspects that invite suspicion," said Blood Hawthorn. "Inhabitants of other giant cities suspect that there could still be corrupted individuals among the members of Sky Mountain Giant City. Conversely, those from Sky Mountain Giant City suspect that corruption or infiltration might have occurred in other giant cities as well. What’s odd about Border City is that they collect their soldiers’ corpses."

"What’s so odd about collecting corpses? To stop comrades’ bodies from being desecrated by enemies. You know yourself about the tributes set by the Blood River’s believers," Li Changhe replied.

"But there are rumors claiming to have seen those collected corpses reappear on the battlefield," the Blue Dragon Slayer murmured ominously. "Somewhat akin to the Plague Legion from the Great Impurity, this is a major reason for other giant cities’ suspicion of Border City."

"The Plague Legion... the Eternal Army... Have you investigated this?" Li Changhe asked.

"We’ve attempted to use hypnosis and suggestion on the soldiers of Border City, to no avail. They’ve locked down any related information about the Eternal Army very tightly. All we know is that it’s one of Border City’s secrets," said Dragon Slayer. "The rest, we can only hope our colleagues within Border City will be able to thoroughly investigate. If Border City undergoes any changes... we need to be prepared in advance."

Li Changhe nodded, but he thought back to the dreams he had...

Li Changhe dared not allow himself to sleep carelessly anymore. Who knows what he’d see in his next dream that he shouldn’t.

Confident that he wouldn’t become corrupted, it was nonetheless quite demeaning to see certain things in his dreams.

Luckily, he was a Physique player at heart, and sleeping was more of a habit for him. He could be just as energetic even without sleep.

...

Meanwhile, inside a safety house in Border City,

Chen Yu’s face was flushed as she opened her eyes and quickly covered her mouth to prevent any strange noises from escaping. Her body also tensed, with the slender legs under the blanket stretched out straight.

After a while, her body finally relaxed.

Drenched in sweat, she struggled to get out of bed.

She shed the soaked nightgown and with legs feeling slightly weak, headed into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

The chill water streaming over her petite yet ample figure finally calmed her overheated body.

After soaking in the cold water until her face turned pale, Chen Yu got up and dried her body and hair.

Somehow, she had experienced an exceedingly erotic dream.

As an unparalleled Dream Creator, even she was nearly lured into indulgence for a moment.

In the dream, a familiar man was kissing her, holding her, caressing her.

It felt incredibly intimate and real.

A kind of pleasure she had never experienced before filled her body.

And it brought on an intense sensation of jealousy and immorality.

Fortunately, she managed to forcefully awaken herself in the end, breaking free from the enervating dream.

And quickly suppressed the emotions that should not have arisen.

She knew all too well it was a fabrication.

Cuddled up on the sofa, a sip of hot water later, Chen Yu finally came back to her senses.

Wrapped in a thin blanket and sunk into deep thought on the sofa, she pondered,

"A curse of Pleasure?" Chen Yu mused as she looked at the negative status on her panel, perplexed. She had discovered no worshippers of Pleasure in Border City.

Even if there were followers of Pleasure in the giant city, she had maintained her Disguise impeccably.

She had even altered her appearance and aura. How could they locate and influence her?

And in theory, her mental defenses were solid. It would be difficult for ordinary divine creatures to break through. How had it been done without her notice?

After a long contemplation, Chen Yu could not find any clue.

"Well, let’s continue investigating the giant city."
