Chu Fu’s staff swung toward a specific spot, and Poison Spray erupted.
The Seeds of Disaster and Misfortune landed on her opponent.
That wasn’t all. Even the paint-like holy-light potion was hurled out by Chu Fu.
A gigantic phantom immediately appeared in the air.
Compared to the werewolf Tuge, Wale was far smaller, standing only around ten meters tall. However, he was in a soul state, floating five or six meters above the ground.
Now that the holy-light potion had landed on him, thick black smoke billowed from his body, giving Chu Feng an opening.
Chu Feng’s figure vanished from his original position in an instant, reappearing behind Wale.
What was more, out of the corner of his eye, Chu Feng saw two other figures.
To the left was Sneaky Dog.
To the right was Eighteen Stabs.
An assassin’s reactions really were incredibly fast!
[Plunder!]
[Steal!]
[Hatred Flame!]
Unseen, the Seeds of Disaster and Misfortune took effect.
[Plunder successful! You have obtained one of this divine envoy’s important abilities: Soul Concealment.]
[Soul Concealment: While in a soul state, you are completely invisible to creatures whose mental power is lower than your own and cannot be detected by any detection skill. You will not reveal yourself even when launching an attack.]
Very powerful.
Although the ability wasn’t particularly suitable for Chu Feng, it had permanently broken through his opponent’s invisibility, making an enormous contribution.
Sneaky Dog also began shrieking excitedly.
[Steal successful! You have obtained the Epic Death Reaper (Epic Weapon).]
“I stole his weapon! Hahahahahaha!”
“Nice work!” Chu Fu knew that players with stealing abilities always came with surprises.
And an even bigger surprise was still to come.
Xu Can’s skill was likewise detonated by the Seed of Disaster.
In an instant, the Flames of Vengeance roared to life, making Wale let out a shrill scream.
His soul trembled violently. Ghostly green flames flickered wildly within the two empty eye sockets of his translucent skull, while his arms flailed about chaotically, as if he wanted to extinguish the flames consuming him.
But this was only the beginning.
With the disappearance of Soul Concealment, every player—including ordinary players with only one or two thousand points of mental power—could now see Wale.
“So this is the thing that attacked us?”
“Brothers, it’s time to avenge ourselves!”
“Hit him! Hit him as hard as you can!”
[Undead Apostle · Wale (Origin-Level Divine Envoy) Level: 80, Soul Power: 100 billion.]
His health bar was actually composed of green soul power rather than vitality. Only soul attacks could damage him.
And now, after Chu Fu had used Poison Spray and released Disaster, all one and a half million players present were coated in holy-light paint.
Holy light could target any monster belonging to the soul, dark, or undead categories.
This meant that every player could now damage him.
Wale also realized that something was wrong.
The gazes of all the humans fell upon him, gleaming with the excitement of hungry wolves.
The second divine envoy had appeared. Once they defeated him, would they receive another 1,000 points to all attributes?
Wouldn’t that make them invincible?
In reality, that was impossible. Only the first player to kill a divine envoy received 1,000 attribute points. The second divine envoy would grant only 100 points.
But that was more than enough.
Most importantly, they could obtain a second divine power fragment.
Wale let out a piercing shriek.
Undead monsters could all use a banshee’s wail, but Wale’s shriek had evolved into a forbidden spell—Requiem.
Furthermore, his Requiem had a magic-suppression effect.
In other words, while Requiem was being cast, Priest players were unable to heal.
That was also why so many people had died horribly along the way.
But this time, when Requiem descended upon all the players, Legion Unity shimmered with layer upon layer of ripples, evenly distributing all the damage.
Not a single player died.
“The time to counterattack has come!”
Chu Fu raised her staff and condensed a mass of black light, aiming it at Wale.
[Black Disaster]
[Soul-Exterminating Disaster]
Two Disaster skills targeting the soul struck Wale simultaneously.
Both sides unleashed their attacks with all their might.
Shen Chi’s mechs raised both arms. After undergoing extensive modifications, their attack weapons’ energy crystals had been replaced with light-element crystals, causing every energy blast they fired to carry the power of light.
The attack power of ten thousand Diamond-level mechs was comparable to that of one million ordinary players.
This time, Chu Fu had also summoned Light Sprites. They had no offensive power and simply continued healing the players.
Shen Chi’s damage output actually took first place.
Chu Feng came next.
Then came Chu Fu, followed by the Holy Healing Angel.
The Holy Healing Angel’s second class had transformed into a Light-Type Forbidden Spellcaster. Holy light was already her natural attribute, so the skills she unleashed were terrifyingly powerful. If her attributes had not been inferior to Chu Fu’s, she absolutely would not have ranked fourth.
Under this frenzied barrage of attacks, the soul-power bar above Wale’s head finally dropped by a sliver!
Soul Power: 99%.
As long as the bar could move, they could keep fighting!
With thirty-five hours set aside, they had more than enough time.
Time passed unknowingly.
One day later.
The world still had not heard any news of a successful defense. On the overseas sections of the forums, heated discussions began to erupt.
“China’s second city started its defense ahead of schedule. Could they have been wiped out?”
“They refused to let our countries send reinforcements. If they were wiped out, they deserved it.”
“Don’t they have the Thorn Guild?”
“Heh. The authorities are arrogant. Maybe they didn’t even involve the Thorn Guild.”
This time, all the players defending the city were government personnel, and their discipline was extremely strict. Naturally, they would not leak any information.
As for the players in Thorn City, they were focused solely on maximizing their damage output in this battle and earning more favor from the divine power. Why would they go onto the forums and run their mouths?
Besides, if they went out bragging and ended up being hated by everyone and expelled from Thorn City, they would be unable to make up for such a loss.
When the benefits were great enough, the urge to show off could be firmly suppressed.
Thus, the outside world had no way of knowing what was happening.
Only the senior military officers of certain countries had obtained vague answers by planting spies within China.
But they didn’t know that those spies were already preparing to defect.
China had simply performed too strongly this time—so overwhelmingly powerful that it had demonstrated what a truly formidable race capable of resisting the entire world looked like.
“Everyone, you don’t understand. Death is the final destination. Only in death can one exist forever. My death will merely return me to the embrace of my god.”
Wale had only 10% of his soul power remaining.
The green light in his eyes suddenly grew incomparably intense. Even the flames within his eye sockets fused together, forming a gigantic green orb.
The orb continued expanding, growing from one meter to ten meters, completely enveloping his head.
“Not good—it’s self-destruction! All melee players, fall back!”
Feng Huimin abruptly manipulated the formation.
Every melee player felt their body being yanked backward, retreating from the battlefield.
They were pulled thirty meters away as if by teleportation.
But that distance was clearly not enough.
The green orb seemed to contain the energy of a massive nuclear explosion.
“Return of the Soul!”
“Rumble—!”
Wale’s health dropped from 10% to 0%.
He died completely.
But the terrifying self-detonation of his soul still swept across the entire battlefield.
