Chapter 1608: The Cornered Thought Calamity

The Cornered Thought Calamity

The Nine Monarchs refused to participate in the war, and even indiscriminately exiled the nuclear weapons of all nations. When those words fell, Lu Xun knew that they had already been completely excluded from the system. To put it more deeply, they could no longer be considered a part of this country.

But Lu Xun had long thought of this ending. This was even one of the best endings he had anticipated...

After all, Chen Ling had said:

The Nine Monarchs are humanity's Nine Monarchs.

Only when everyone had left the conference room did Lu Xun slowly walk out. Standing in the empty corridor, looking at the stars filling the sky, an indescribable sense of defeat and self-blame surged into his heart.

He took a deep breath and still connected a call to Yang Xiao.

"Hello? Old Lu! How did it go?? Have you found a way to rescue Director Chen?"

Just as the call connected, Yang Xiao's anxious voice rang out from it. The other Nine Monarchs also surrounded him, holding their breaths and waiting for Lu Xun's reply.

"We... cannot save him."

The other end of the call plunged into deathly silence.

These simple words directly pierced through the fantasies of the Nine Monarchs who had yet to fully grow up. They blankly stared at the glowing phone screen, only recovering their senses after a long time...

A sense of self-blame and powerlessness identical to Lu Xun's surged into their hearts.

Thump—!

Qi Muyun angrily smashed a fist onto the ground:

"Fuck!!!"

Wu Tongyuan and Wen Ruoshui both lowered their heads. The scene of Chen Ling charging towards the Calamity of Mockery at the end still surfaced in their minds... At this time, Ji Xuan had also woken up. He sat in place like a sculpture, opening his mouth wanting to say something, yet unable to say anything at all.

On the other end of the phone signal, Su Zhiwei's voice was similarly somewhat hoarse:

"Then... is there anything else we can do for Director Chen?"

Lu Xun remained silent for a moment.

He looked up and gazed at the silently flickering cluster of stars, speaking softly:

"Let's pray for him..."

"Let's hope that Director Chen can carve out a path of survival... in that hellish world."

...

"Kekekekekekeke—!!!"

The beastly black shadow laughed wildly and stood up. Holding a severed centipede limb in its left hand and a dripping bloody snake head in its right, it fiercely opened its bloody maw wide, directly stuffing all the food in its left and right hands into its mouth, and then began to chew frantically.

At this time, beneath its feet were already piled full of the remains of various Poisonous Insects, like a towering small mountain. The stench of blood spread throughout the entire abyss.

Only after eating hundreds of Poisonous Insects did it faintly let out a burp...

Then it patted its stomach in satisfaction.

It looked around. Aside from those small Calamities that didn't manage to run away and were still shivering in place waiting for death, it could no longer see any trace of the Calamity of Mockery.

But it didn't matter anymore. Now, it would be the new King of this Ghost Mockery Abyss. The Calamity of Mockery of this world would ultimately only become its defeated subordinate, fleeing ignobly in the Gray World to survive.

After eating its fill, a brutal light surfaced in the beastly Calamity's pupils once again. It laughed hideously and walked down the mountain of corpses step by step...

As it stretched its muscles and bones, its entire body let out explosive cracking sounds. After tilting its head and thinking for a while, its figure fiercely stomped on the ground, directly charging out of the Ghost Mockery Abyss and flying towards the direction of the Forbidden Sea!

Every Calamity of Mockery personality had its own preferences and habits.

The Calamity of Mockery of this world, aside from liking to toy with others, liked to research some skirts and then force the "toys" to wear them... But this beastly Calamity of Mockery in front of it didn't have these wicked human tastes. The things it pursued were only two.

Filling its stomach;

And... slaughtering the strong.

The Calamities of the Ghost Mockery Abyss were too weak, so weak that the beastly Calamity of Mockery only treated them as food. Now that it had eaten and drank its fill, it was time to satisfy the brutality in its heart. Since it didn't know where the Calamity of Mockery of this world was hiding, then it would go find other experts.

However, just as the beastly Calamity of Mockery was flying halfway while laughing hideously, it suddenly seemed to notice something...

It suddenly stopped in its tracks in the nothingness.

Those beastly scarlet pupils directly locked onto the nothingness to the side.

"Kekekekeke..."

It felt it.

There was no need for it to personally go find those World-Ending Calamities... There was a World-Ending Calamity that seemed to have been secretly following by its side all along.

The instant those eyes looked towards the Thought Calamity, warning bells blared in the Thought Calamity's heart. It had merely left a thought on this Calamity of Mockery's body to monitor it at all times. It didn't expect that this beastly Calamity of Mockery's intuition would be so sensitive, directly sensing its presence.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Thought Calamity wanted to withdraw its thoughts from the beastly Calamity of Mockery's body, but following a hideous laugh from the beastly Calamity of Mockery, the Power of Negation activated once again!

The Thought Calamity, which had already fled back to Storm Island in an instant, was forcefully dragged back to the beastly Calamity of Mockery's side once again. What made the Thought Calamity's scalp numb the most was that the other party actually activated a "Thought Storm" identical to its own!!

In this era where all World-Ending Calamities walked around the Calamity of Mockery, the Thought Calamity was the only existence that dared to approach and even monitor it. After all, it was inherently thoughts and had no physical body, making it extremely difficult to kill... Moreover, as far as it knew, the Calamity of Mockery also didn't have the ability to obliterate it on the level of thoughts, which was why it dared to act so boldly and recklessly.

But it didn't expect that the beastly Calamity of Mockery at this moment would actually also use a Thought Storm to forcefully sweep its thoughts in!

This meant...

It really might die by the hands of this Calamity of Mockery!

At this moment, the Thought Calamity's fear of this beastly Calamity of Mockery before it skyrocketed infinitely. It could even be called terror... When a Calamity of Mockery that was already outrageously powerful to begin with also possessed the same power as itself, then killing it would be easier than killing any other World-Ending Calamity.

To be honest, when that bizarre Calamity of Mockery personality conversed with the Thought Calamity across space in the Audience seats, the Thought Calamity didn't take his words seriously... After all, so what if the Calamity of Mockery experienced a Loss of Control? So what if it turned the Gray World upside down?

It had no Calamity dependents, nor did it have a physical body. Even Storm Island was composed of thoughts. Even if the Calamity of Mockery killed all other World-Ending Calamities, it might not necessarily be able to kill it... It never planned on following what Chen Ling said and stuffing that whatever Script in ten minutes later.

If this Script truly was a good thing that could stop the Calamity of Mockery personality, then why should it listen to Chen Ling? It could stuff it in whenever it wanted to. It could even use the Calamity of Mockery to eradicate the other World-Ending Calamities before stuffing it in. To it, this was completely a controller!

But now it realized it was wrong... If it didn't do as Chen Ling said, the first World-Ending Calamity to die would definitely be it!

From the very beginning, Chen Ling never gave it the chance to play tricks!

Seeing those beastly Calamity of Mockery's pupils filled with ridicule and brutality, the Thought Calamity knew that it couldn't escape even if it wanted to. It could only brace itself, forcefully rolling up all its thoughts and fiercely charging into the Calamity of Mockery's mind, approaching that Theater...
