Like a flood, the locusts broke through the border of the mutated area. They flew towards Mo Bei City and scattered in all directions.
"The locust swarm is coming!"
The command central who had just regained some hope was instantly filled with anxiety due to this new situation. Everyone, Tong Ye, Yao Sinian and the other commanders watched as the locust swarm swallowed everything.
The green trees were devoured cleanly.
The power lines, base stations, the road itself and the vehicles were all consumed.
Tents, civilian houses, and other buildings were all devoured.
"Ah!" The frontline soldiers raised their flamethrowers. Large swathes of locusts were burned to death but behind the locusts, more locusts appeared. They charged out from the fire and pounced on the weapons and personnel. Instantly, the locust swarmed the place.
This was like the locust swarm's saturation attack.
As long as it was made of material, the locusts would be able to consume it.
The video feed from the frontline turned black one after another. There was no sound or warmth left.
Inside the command central, the people's hands lost their warmth and their eyes lost their light.
The mutated area could not hold on any longer …
During the short and hurried communication earlier, even though Mysterium knew there was another mutated area, they did not know how dangerous it was.
The locust swarm moved so fast that it defied the laws of physics. Furthermore, the distance between the two areas had been shortened by the expansion. Byakees and flying polypus hydroids were flying everywhere so they soon ran into the locust swarm. Both were consumed. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
Shock appeared on the faces of the Mysterium Spell Department members.
"Form the net and hold them off!" The leader of the cross-border team, Lee Xiaogang shouted to help his team members calm down.
But it was too late now. The locust swarmed over them. They slithered into the desert wasteland and from there, they slithered back to the Mysterium World.
Amidst the agonizing screeches, the rotting body of the Byakees was torn apart. Among them were the Byakees summoned by Wang Ruoxiang and the rest, and the Byakees from the Mysterium World that came as reinforcements. However, none of them could withstand the overwhelming numbers of the locust creatures.
Be it Lou Xiaoning, Uncle Dan, Deng Ximei, or the rest, all of them froze as they watched the locusts fly through the sky.
According to the Yith, the end of the world, the extinction of human civilization.
Is it because of … this …
At this moment, some of the frontline personnel could not help but feel at a loss and dejected. They lowered their fighting hands …
Even though the locust swarm was not as dense as it was inside the mutated area, and not everyone and everything was destroyed, it was foreseeable that if this continued, it wouldn't be long before this place turned into a wasteland.
The plan to drop the nuclear bomb on Mo Bei was once again put on the table. Even Tong Ye could not stop it.
"Let's kill a few more before we die." Lou Xiaoning snapped out of her daze and fired the automatic rifle in her hand. Bang, bang —
Those who had just been disheartened also continued to struggle. They had already said that this was a battle to the death.
Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang!
A locust the size of a thumb tore through the protective suit and bit into Uncle Dan's face. It tore out a bloody hole instantly.
Pa! Uncle Dan slapped it to death. "Why does everything want to kiss Uncle Dan!"
Inside the altar, Gu Jun chuckled and said something Uncle Dan could not hear, "That's because Uncle Dan's skin is so thick …"
"I've made my choice." He turned to look at the tall and slender figure. "My choice is, f * ck you."
Before he finished, Gu Jun charged forward. He allowed the fire in his heart to explode. He chanted the first chapter of the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan to summon Nightingale. Just like Wang Ruoxiang and Cai Zixuan, he did not care whether he could win or not, he did not care whether it was useful or not. 'I don't know about other people but you want me to surrender?'
Even if there were countless dimensions, countless worlds and countless Gu Jun's, at that moment, they all said the same thing, f * ck you.
Yu Chi also chanted the spell of the Nine Mysterium Arts. He believed that in the future, there would be more people who would come to test him.
At the same time, Wu Shiyu leaped into the air. She had already made her choice.
Earlier, when she used the power of the cat to draw these panoramic paintings, she had left behind her own brand of synaesthesia. The power was yours, but the paintings were mine. Every painting had its own life, the painter's will, and the painter's power.
The cat's fur bristled. Her eyes of different colors were like the abyss.
She grabbed with her claws, causing the power of each scroll to strike towards the tall figure.
The strange shadow of Nightingale surged out from under Gu Jun and Yu Chi. Rays of different colors exploded from the twisted scrolls.
All of them hit the figure. However, it was as if they had been absorbed. The figure remained motionless.
The face with a thousand faces did not react at all.
"It's useless." Keziah Mason said, "This kind of power is no threat to the master."
"So this is your choice …"
As if hearing the figure say that, Gu Jun suddenly felt a splitting pain in his head. The PEEK skull seemed to swell and protrude out of his scalp. His eyes were bulging, and the blood vessels on his face were bulging. The pressure inside his skull had reached an inhumanly high value. His heart could barely beat anymore.
The blood flow in his brain surged like a tsunami. Blood vessels burst at every part of his brain.
He could clearly feel his blood vessels exploding just like that. Bright red blood soaked his brain and slowly filled every space in his skull.
The blood vessels all over his body were bursting.
His eyes turned from a mix of black and white to bloodshot, and then quickly turned blood-red.
The same thing happened to Yu Chi. His bearded face swelled to a purplish-red color, and his beard stood on end.
Wu Shiyu was surrounded by pain as well. The cat body was bursting. She seemed to have returned to the human body but at the same time, it felt like she was in between the two worlds. Her consciousness was drifting away and dispersing. This was the end … There were still many regrets …
"I want to see our baby." She told Gu Jun, "It will be fun to play with Kedou."
Gu Jun laughed. It was a bitter laugh, a bitter laugh, and a hearty laugh.
"Can I say that I'm relieved …"
"Me too." She said.
The two laughed and sighed.
But then again, this was the kind of life that humans were.
They lived with regret and died with regret. They would have their own regret and they would become the regret of others …
"Why do you refuse to serve the master?" The witch's voice asked, "Don't you know you are no match for him?"
Everything around them was twisting and turning into chaos.
But Gu Jun could still see the scenes from Phecda World and Mysterium World. He saw Deng Ximei, Lou Xiaoning and Uncle Dan were still fighting. He saw the Byakees disappearing one after another but the members of Mysterium Spell were still fighting. He saw the locust swarm spread into Mo Bei City and Chi Lin City.
He saw the students from Phecda University, the members of the special training class, Chen Jiahwa and the rest, under the leadership of Prof Shen, they joined the battle and the evacuation at the streets of Chi Lin City. The locust had already bitten several students and Chen Jiahwa was busy trying to save the injured …
At the quarantine base, the medic was still trying to save Cai Zixuan and the rest. They needed to use ECMO but they did not have enough manpower.
On the other side, Wang Ruoxiang stood up again. Her hair was ruffled by the wind. She summoned the Byakees again.
He saw the victims of Locust Sickness struggling against their body's strong need for food. They struggled at the edge of death.
He saw himself, Dirty-minded Yu and Yu Chi. Their bodies were breaking apart and their consciousness was disappearing.
'Yes, why, why did they choose to do this …
Why didn't they escape with the Yith, why didn't they serve this powerful presence … '
"Perhaps it is because …" Gu Jun mumbled, "We are humans …"
Most of the time, humans would not be so rational and would do some crazy things.
Even though they knew their fate, they still chose to challenge it. This was human stupidity and also human courage.
Gu Jun dragged his body towards the tall figure. Even if he could not defeat it with spells, he would use his teeth to tear it apart …
"Humans are complicated." Keziah Mason said. Her voice seemed to have changed back to her teenage self, "Mr. Gu, you said that in this case, perhaps the four of us have our own missions. You have yours and I have mine. Sometimes, to know your enemy's weakness, you will only know it when you become your enemy …
Nyarlathotep is powerful, more powerful than any existence you know but it is not the only power in the cosmos.
Nyarlathotep resembles a human but he is not a human. He is interested in humans but he will not cling to them.
Nyarlathotep is a mass of chaos. He has many incarnations. Even if you have seen him with your own eyes, it does not mean you have seen him.
The Yith failed because they always chose to run away but there is still a chance … "
At that moment, Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu and Yu Chi saw a smile appear on Keziah Mason's aged face. There was a trace of sincerity in it.
"Nyarlathotep said not to trust it." The witch said, "Of course I did, I only trust myself. That is a human's way of doing things. Nyarlathotep knows all this but it will not care. The only thing it cares about is' interesting '. "
"To make it feel troubled and disappointed, for such an existence." She paused. "That is the real interesting thing. That is why it has chosen us. "
"Because we can give it trouble."
While the witch was speaking, the tall and slender figure did not say anything.
"Time and space are interesting things. For you, it is only a moment but for me, many years have passed."
Keziah Mason chuckled. "In these years, I have made many enemies. That is why I know a prayer that can resist chaos. Because I have experienced it myself, I know it is effective … It represents another powerful force … a force that Nyarlathotep does not like …"
The look in the witch's eyes suddenly changed. She looked at the figure high above in disgust and shouted out the words of her prayer.
Following her scream, the space around the altar shook violently. The Locust God believers who were still kneeling on the ground exploded in terror.
In the panoramic painting, the locust swarm was weakened. The expansion of the mutated area and the desert wasteland stopped. Some locusts fell like rain … The whole altar shook.
The entire altar was on the verge of collapse. A look of displeasure flashed across Nyarlathotep's face, but at the same time, it seemed to be a flash of joy.
Gu Jun's eyes were bleeding but he understood now. He understood that Keziah Mason was telling the truth. She was still human.
Because humans had a kind side and an evil side.
There was a sincere side, a fake side and a mischievous side.
Humans were a complicated race.
Wu Siyu and Yu Chi also understood. The altar had already turned into a vast expanse of whiteness. This place was collapsing, but the power was not strong enough yet …
There was only one chance. If they missed it, there would be one of two outcomes.
"I am now Meteorite Wu …" Wu Shiyu struggled to land on Gu Jun's shoulders. His claws pressed on Gu Jun's head and he transferred his mental power to Gu Jun. Just like before, he channeled all his remaining power into one spot. This was also a ray of hope.
The shaking around them weakened. The scene before their eyes blurred and everything returned to chaos.
Keziah Mason, who was praying, collapsed. Yu Chi, who was praying beside her, was exhausted as well …
The tall figure was still high above them.
Gu Jun could feel the ball of broken energy in his mind churning, coalescing, and flashing. It was as if sparks had lit up the whole grassland … The fragmented memory that suddenly awakened told him that this prayer existed in the foreign world as well.
At this moment, he accepted the power and shouted, "Don't worry.
“Ia！ Shub-Niggurath! The Black Goat of the Forest that gave birth to thousands of children! "
The shaking intensified. In an instant, a blinding white light swallowed them up.
Rumble, rumble …
Everything seemed to be fluttering and melting.
