After leaving the Thousand Leaf Forest, the City of Steel was Ma Wen's first stop.
The Fernand Continent was vast. South of the Thousand Year Mountains, it could be called the south.
However, the most important territory of the Southern Wizard Alliance was between the south of the Thousand Year Mountains and the north of the Thousand Leaf Forest.
This was an extremely open plain. Compared to this place, the Six Pearl Harbors, Perch Harbour and Gem Bay in the southeast were like desserts after a main meal.
There used to be countless Wizard Towers and tall cities here.
However, after the Cataclysm, everything became ruins.
The Wizard's flag fell in the ruins. Blood flowed everywhere, but the killing was still going on.
It was still the same saying. In the face of this kind of natural disaster, the people in the big cities would die faster.
On the contrary, the villagers in the mountains, because they were far away from the Wizards, even if some animals were demonized, with the intuition and skills of the old hunters, they could still deal with it.
When Ma Wen arrived at the southern suburbs of the City of Steel, he felt that the place was lifeless.
Now, every few days, he felt that the smell of blood here was getting stronger.
When Butterfly flew over a mass grave, she claimed that the Golden-feathered Griffin saw the Underworld's Archon.
This made Ma Wen feel disgusted.
When he was about to die, it seemed that there was an Underworld's Archon who wanted to take his soul.
If the people of the World of the Dead also wanted to intervene, it would be very troublesome.
After the Universe Magic Pool broke, a total of four forces would invade Fernand: the Abyss, Hell, Darkspirits, and Heaven.
The only thing worth rejoicing was that these four forces did not see eye to eye with each other.
The Darkspirits did not like anyone. They were filthy. They hated the Devils because they thought that the Devils were brainless and a bunch of lunatics. The Devils made them vigilant. The high-level Darkspirits knew the ins and outs of the Devils. They were the descendants of the ancient angels and could betray their camp at any time.
The Abyss and Hell had always been enemies. At the bottom of the Endless Abyss and the Nine Levels of Purgatory, on the Scarlet Wasteland, the Millennium War that lasted for an unknown amount of time explained everything. The Devils and the Devils, when they met, would fight to the death. This was not negotiable.
The gods of the Heaven Realm were mortal enemies with the three powers mentioned above.
It was true that they had joined forces to attack the Universal Magic Pool, but it was also for the convenience of their own rule. They had no intention of turning Fernand into a place where demons could run amok.
The simultaneous entry of these four forces had already thrown Fernand into chaos.
If there was a fifth force in the universe that could rival them, it would be the World of the Dead.
The King of the Undead seemed to be the spokesperson of the King of the Undead World in Fernand's eyes. Before this, he had summoned a large number of terrifying red-clothed corpses, and their combat power surprised Ma Wen.
In Ma Wen's impression, the Undead generally looked scary, but in fact, their fighting strength was very average.
However, the red-robed corpse servants were different. This kind of undead could even eat the light of the boundary of the four totems, its ferocity was evident.
"I hope it's just Die talking nonsense."
Ma Wen inwardly comforted himself.
In his impression, at least in this Great Cataclysm, the Kings of the Dead and the Ancient Gods of the Heaven Realm had chosen the same absolutely neutral stance, seemingly having no intention of interfering with Fernand.
… …
After arriving at Steel City, Ma Wen became even more careful.
The Gold Feather Griffins were indeed powerful, but after the Great Cataclysm, they had probably evolved into many flying monsters.
The closer he got to a large city, the more careful he had to be.
Die did not have much fighting strength, and if he encountered a group of monsters, he would have trouble escaping.
Thus, he had Die land in a small forest in the eastern part of Steel City.
Relying on his sense of the earth, he found a relatively safe place, had the Gold Feather Griffins protect Die, and left the forest alone.
Steel City was already in ruins.
Ma Wen followed the corpse-strewn official road westward, his brow furrowed.
The road was littered with disemboweled corpses, or severed limbs, with bits of ice or ash on them. Of course, there was also sulfuric acid.
The former were killed by demonized animals, while the latter were clearly the work of demonized Wizards.
From the types of arcane energy left on these severed limbs, it could be seen that Wizards loved to use evocation spells such as fire, ice, and sulfuric acid.
After all, their lethality was at the peak of low-level spells.
Marvin activated Stealth the entire time. He didn't want to attract trouble.
However, the wandering monsters near the official road did not care about this.
In the past, his 200 points of Stealth, which was enough to conceal him from the gods, had lost its effect in front of these monsters!
They had relied entirely on their killing instincts to forcibly drag out Ma Wen.
However, Ma Wen did not bother with them. He continuously used Shadow Evasion and other spells, directly shaking off the monsters.
Generally speaking, only a few monsters could distinguish Ma Wen's aura.
As for the demonized sorcerers, they had the ability to find Marvin. After all, the sorcerers' detection sorcery was still very powerful, especially in the case of the collapse of the Universal Mana Pool. Chaos magic greatly enhanced every kind of sorcery.
Unfortunately, they had no brains and could only cast spells at random. Ma Wen only had to carefully avoid them.
Moreover, it was said that Constantine had used the Glory of Wind to ruthlessly kill a group of Wizards here, causing the Wizards in Steel City to be less concentrated than Ma Wen had imagined.
This was a fortunate thing.
…
His trip to Steel City was mainly for the development of his territory.
Weapons and food, these were the most well-stocked items in a large city.
Especially the former. Steel City, as the city that produced the most weapons in the Southern Wizard Alliance, must have a large number of excellent military weapons.
Ma Wen knew a batch of them. It was a secret warehouse, and at the same time, an invisible refuge.
"I wonder if there are still people alive in that refuge."
"The cataclysm came so suddenly, there shouldn't be many people who could react in time, right?"
Ma Wen muttered to himself.
He walked along the wretched streets.
At the end of the street, a few crows were mercilessly eating the rotten flesh of a middle-aged man.
When Ma Wen passed by, they did not even look at Ma Wen.
At this moment, a fireball the size of a washbasin came crashing down, smashing the corpse and the crows into pieces!
Flames splattered everywhere, and Ma Wen, who was stealthily moving, was almost blasted out.
It was a demonized Wizard with an expressionless face.
After throwing a big fireball, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and actually began to use Lightning Storm in a crazed manner!
Ma Wen saw that something was wrong and hurriedly left.
…
Ma Wen walked through many corners of Steel City, and everywhere he went, there was an aura of disaster.
There were not many people alive, and the rest were all monsters.
In the midst of his sorrow, he finally found the point in his memory.
It was the entrance to a sewer.
