Chapter 1851: Retaliation of the Calamity of Thought

Retaliation of the Calamity of Thought

The instant this voice sounded, Chen Ling's footsteps suddenly paused.

Chen Ling naturally knew who the owner of this voice was. In this world, those who could transmit messages through thoughts were only him, Teacher Ye, and... the Thought Calamity.

But Chen Ling didn't pay attention to that voice. After a brief pause, he continued to hobble forward.

"I said before... the Calamity of Mockery is the Calamity of Mockery."

"Even if you stand on humanity's side, even if you have done so many things for them, who cares? They will only see that you are a World-Ending Calamity, the thing they fear the most... No one will thank you, Chen Ling."

Boom——!!

Another golden light fell from the Imperial Seal, and Chen Ling's figure was once again nailed to the ground.

This time his right foot was also pierced by a bone nail. Scarlet fresh blood spread out on the spiderweb-like ground. The bones of Chen Ling's legs were all jammed dead, difficult to move in the slightest.

Seeing that Chen Ling's legs had been nailed dead, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed out loud:

"I said he wouldn't be able to make any waves!"

"So the Calamity of Mockery really looks like this... quite good-looking actually."

"Don't be deceived by him, this is all methods the Calamity of Mockery uses to disguise itself. Didn't you see that red monster just now? That is the true form of the Calamity of Mockery."

"Is he really unable to move anymore?"

"Definitely. Didn't you see his hands and feet have been put in shackles? He has been completely subdued."

"Pah! Dead Calamity of Mockery, bad Calamity of Mockery! Letting you bully us!"

"..."

A child, filled with righteous indignation, picked up a piece of rubble from the ground and threw it at Chen Ling not far away.

The rubble traced a high arc, and ultimately missed by a bit, only landing beside Chen Ling and rolling twice... But this action undoubtedly set an example for the others. Upon finding out that Chen Ling really couldn't counterattack, they became even more unbridled, one after another picking up things around them and throwing them at Chen Ling.

Stones, Glass shards, rebar, rotten fruits, fragments of tables and chairs... Anything that could be picked up flew toward Chen Ling covering the sky and the earth. Even though most people couldn't throw that accurately, there were still a small number with better luck who really hit Chen Ling, who was paralyzed on the ground, with things.

Then, they would cheer and jump for joy, as if they really had become great heroes who defeated the enemy of humanity.

At the same time, the Thought Calamity's voice continued to sound beside Chen Ling's ears:

"How is it?"

"How does it feel to be stabbed in the back by the ungrateful wolves you protect?"

"They are ignorant, stupid, without the slightest ability to distinguish things on their own, like a bunch of stupid pigs who only know how to follow behind others' butts... They are not like us, who can communicate barrier-free in thoughts with just a single thought."

"We all know your abilities, know just what kind of peculiar existence you are. Rather than being insulted by this group of stupid pigs here, it's better if we join forces."

"So what if that Emperor killed those pieces of trash like the Calamity of Corruption? So what if he destroyed a few world-ending territories?"

"As long as I am here, plus you and the other Calamity of Mockery, the three of us joining forces will definitely be stronger than those pieces of trash... This time, I have already made ample preparations, and we will make this group of humans pay the price."

"During this period of time, I have been guiding all the calamities, acting like a plate of loose sand, accomplishing nothing, lowering their vigilance toward us to the minimum... Now, they have put all their energy on the internal strife of the Red Dust Bastion again, and the guards of the major bastions are extremely fragile."

"To tell you the truth, now the other major bastions have already been surrounded by calamities. In an hour at most, I can destroy those bastions lacking guards, and use the blood of tens of millions of people to wash away our humiliation."

"How is it? As long as we join forces, not only do I have a way to save you out, but I can also, together with the Calamity of Mockery, help you flatten the Red Dust and kill all these stupid pig-like humans."

The Thought Calamity's voice seemed to possess some kind of magical power, causing Chen Ling's originally dead water-like heart to ripple.

In a trance, he seemed to have already seen the major bastions being crushed by calamities, a Thought Storm carrying two Calamities of Mockery, crushing the Red Dust Bastion, easily slaughtering the entire field with a carefree and exhilarating feeling.

"I know you may not believe me now... It's fine, I can let you see some sincerity first."

The Thought Calamity's voice fell.

A moment later,

A piercing alarm sounded from within the bastion.

This alarm didn't come from the Outer Wall, nor did it come from the Inner Wall, but from the Chengtian Prefecture of the Red Dust Bastion... While the first alarm was spinning, the second, the third, the fourth... several alarms frantically superimposed at this moment, as if some extremely dangerous matter was happening.

Everyone's gazes simultaneously looked toward the Chengtian Prefecture. Their moods, which had originally relaxed quite a bit, tensed up once again.

"What's going on?! What happened??" Jing Si, who had just come out of the Red Dust Domain and arrived at the Outer Wall battlefield, was stunned in place for a time.

The current Red Dust Domain had already been reduced to a Demigod battlefield. Jing Si could only be forced to transfer to the Outer Wall... But before he could figure out the situation outside, he was made even more baffled by these seven superimposed alarms.

"It's the 'Joint Alarm'." A low voice sounded from behind.

Jing Si turned his head to look, only to see the gray-haired He Jing standing not far away, also frowning and looking in the direction of the Chengtian Prefecture.

"The Chengtian Prefecture of every bastion is equipped with a 'Joint' alarm. Once a certain bastion is attacked, the Chengtian Prefectures of all other bastions will sound the alarm. Just like when the Red Dust was attacked this time, our alarm should have also sounded in other bastions..."

"This device is to conveniently grasp the attack information in the first instance. Other bastions can dispatch personnel to support in the first instance after confirming which bastion is attacked, thereby reducing the time for information to circulate from the Chengtian Domain and improving rescue efficiency."

Jing Si froze for a moment, "Then so many alarms sounding simultaneously now means..."

He Jing took a deep breath and slowly spoke a sentence that made Jing Si's hair stand on end:

"All bastions were attacked at the same time."

...

"Calamities have attacked the other major bastions!!"

"What? How could this happen?"

"Haven't the calamities already been beaten to a pulp by Your Majesty? How can they still attack other bastions??"

"These cunning calamities must have wanted to retaliate after being beaten by Your Majesty!"

"But... but how can they actually launch attacks simultaneously??"

"They must be instigated by the World-Ending Calamity!!"

"...It's him?!"

"It's the Calamity of Mockery! It's Chen Ling!!"

"He attacked the Red Dust Bastion first, and then other bastions were also attacked. If it's not planned by him, who else could it be!!"

"Damn it, him attacking our Red Dust isn't enough, he also plotted against other bastions?? What a malicious heart!"

"..."

The crowd's conversations sounded all around.

Chen Ling turned his head with difficulty to look in a certain direction, only to see that above the Outer Wall of the Red Dust Bastion, in the void that the world's people couldn't see with the naked eye, a storm woven from thoughts was silently surging. A pair of hollow pupils were watching Chen Ling from afar.

What the Thought Calamity said was true.

Not only did it start to act against other bastions, it even came to the Red Dust Bastion itself... Presumably, the Calamity of Mockery of this world had also hidden in the dark.
