Chapter 834: Chapter 496 Withered Rose

When that figure appeared atop the city wall, a distorted, frenzied malice instantly spread across the entire area.

Li Changhe’s gaze shifted slightly, but his attack didn’t cease in the least. His extended finger bent.

In the sky, one after another, bronze spears accompanied by blue flames smashed toward the ground like meteors aiming at Rose Duke.

No matter what the Crying Hero intended to do, killing the duke first was always the right move.

However, the shadow under Li Changhe’s feet let out a terrified scream, as numerous daunting mouths opened wide in unison, screaming as if they had seen some extremely horrifying scene.

After Li Changhe crushed the hourglass of time, wisps of Black Fog quietly appeared all around.

That was of Dog Brother’s kind, another alien Tingdaros Hound.

Since Li Changhe had tampered with time, it began to traverse the river of time, planning to hunt Li Changhe. Li Changhe naturally wasn’t afraid, thinking he might be able to ride one more after all.

But at the very moment the Crying Hero appeared, the Black Fog instantly dispersed. It stopped its hunt... and ran away....

As for Dog Brother’s state, it was quite strange. Being an immortal being, it should have no concept of death.

Yet at this moment, it let out a cry of terror, struggling madly to free itself from Li Changhe’s control.

"Let go... he will kill me!" Dog Brother spoke in human tongue, finally revealing the reason.

As a creature of the river of time, it had seen countless fragmented images of its own death on the Crying Hero.

This... this guy wants to kill me, and he can do it!

Indeed.

That was Li Changhe who had failed under the walls of Yuezhou City, and naturally, he harbored hatred towards the Tingdaros Hound that had fled the battlefield alone.

....

On the other side, atop the rest area defenses, even though they weren’t players, Old Zhao and the others felt the approach of malice.

At this moment, tears flowed involuntarily from their eyes, as if they were mourning something, and the tears were endless no matter how much they flowed.

They didn’t know what Council Terror Demon was, but an instinctual sense of crisis made them panic-stricken. Bizarre whispers even began to emerge in their minds.

Many of the players felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as the current situation was too desperate.

Facing an uncountable army of Terror Devils and assaults by Council Members, humanity was already at a disadvantage.

Even if the Holders managed to defeat the Dreamer and freed those asleep, there was little improvement. The gap in numbers between the two sides remained vast.

Now, even the Crying Hero, the first seat of the Terror Devil Council, had already arrived. The situation was truly pessimistic.

Within the crowd, Chen Yu, carrying Xiao Nan on his back, was looking toward a particular section of the city wall. With tear-streaked eyes slightly narrowed, he faintly made out the figure amidst the snowy wind on the wall.

Being a high-energy individual, her perception was strong, effortlessly sensing the guy’s location. The other party also had no intention of hiding.

It really was... terrifying, even from afar. Chen Yu could feel the astonishing oppressiveness emanating from him.

Was that Li Changhe who had lost everything? Chen Yu couldn’t help wondering how she died in his world.

"Look, if you had messed around just now... there would probably be a second Crying Hero here by now," Chen Yu murmured softly, tilting her head.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nan, who was lying on her back, did not respond. She was being carried by Chen Yu, her body cold and abnormal. Her powerless hands dangled in front of Chen Yu’s chest, and the white palms revealed by the sleeves were densely covered with black patterns.

The black patterns that had originally faded from her body were now expanding again, even the corners of her eyes bore strange black lines, which, like elegant eyeliner, gave her face a somewhat seductive appearance.

In the previous battle against the Dreamer, Xiao Nan had once again used Divinity and successfully killed the Dreamer in his dreams, enabling the warriors to awaken from their slumbers early and go to assist Li Changhe and the others.

But the cost was great, as she, already struggling with the loss of control over her Divinity, completely lost control of it within her body immediately after killing the Dreamer. She plunged into a deep coma and would face a series of repercussions.

...

On the other side, the Duke, upon witnessing the arrival of the Crying Hero, seemed much more composed.

He had already understood what had happened.

The factory, oh, the factory. I indeed underestimated it....

How ridiculous. He had aligned with so many Council Members and commanded such a vast number of Terror Devils.

In the end, he only accelerated the factory’s evolution. No wonder it devoted itself to helping him; the largest beneficiary of his and the military advisor’s struggle was the factory itself.

No, or perhaps... its target was him.

After all, the factory could not analyze and replicate the power of Divinity. And among the non-Divinity Terror Devils, he was the strongest, or should one say... his final form.

The transformation into the form of a Blood Clan progenitor was their ultimate measure. It was their strongest state, as well as their weakest.

Because it would consume all of their Life Currency, and once killed, they would not resurrect again. Is the factory trying to replicate that state of him?

Thinking this, the Duke did not get the slightest bit angry but instead laughed as a bronze spear falling from the sky tore him into pieces.

The fragments rapidly reformed, while the bronze spear in the sky mercilessly shattered him again.

Li Changhe was determined to deplete his life until he killed him, but it was too late, even if he was killed a hundred times over, what then? As one of the progenitors of the Blood Clan, his Life Currency was as numerous as the stars.

"Very well, this was saved specifically to deal with you," the Duke said indifferently, his body’s fragments carrying a laugh: "Factory, do as you wish, and make sure, make sure to kill all the humans!"

The next second, his body fragments exploded.

Streams of blood wove like silk thread, completely enveloping the surrounding area, and then the bloodshots converged, transforming into a huge Blood Rose in mid-air.

With the appearance of the Blood Rose, the corpses of the surrounding Terror Devils began to decay rapidly. From their dead bones grew thick thorny vines, as large as bowls.

The vines were extremely aggressive, stabbing towards the nearest living creature at the first opportunity, be it humans or Terror Devils—they were all targets of its assault.

An unsuspecting human warrior was pierced through the shin by a vine that suddenly appeared beside him. By the time his nearest comrade had cut through the vine with a sword, that human warrior had already been drained dry, turned into a mummy.

Then, more vines burst forth from his corpse.

The Terror Devils also perished in great numbers, surrounded by even more bodies. They faced the most attacks, and in an instant, a vast number of Terror Devils died. But even more thorny vines grew wildly from their bodies.

This was the Rose Duke’s transformation.

In another world, his most beloved woman was burned alive on the cross by humans. In his barren heart, she was his only rose.

So... with an endless hatred for humanity, he transformed into the Withered Rose, devouring the world of men!

All who stood in the way of his vengeance had to die!
