Chapter 155: City of Calamity

~7 min read 1,229 words

"Something has indeed happened." In Chumen's information vision, the entire world was digitized, and it was through this digitized vision that he perceived the eerie aura emanating from this land.

"The weather here..."

Chumen looked up; thick black clouds pressed down, and a violent wind rose, blowing the trees until they swayed.

"This weather is clearly abnormal!"

In mysticism, the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence is extremely unreasonable; many coincidences can be explained through this single law.

And whether it is the "Red Priest" pathway or that thing Chumen is thinking of, both possess an instinctual control over the weather, often related to severe weather.

The "Red Priest" pathway represents war and strife, but as it is adjacent to the "Witch" pathway, it naturally also possesses abilities similar to "Calamity," specifically manifested as controlling the weather; Sequence 2 is even called "Weather Warlock."

"Medici!" Chumen contacted Medici through the information stream, but he did not receive a reply even after a long time.

"Is it this fast?" Things seemed somewhat unexpected.

Chumen walked to the front gate of the Medici Family and reached out to press it.

At this moment, he interacted with the information inside the door, and everything behind the gate was laid bare before his eyes.

This was a more convenient method than looking with the naked eye; all information was under his control.

And inside the gate were headless corpses, one after another.

Many residents of Binxi were here.

Their heads had been severed cleanly at the neck; the cross-sections were surprisingly smooth, with fresh blood constantly bubbling out, just like criminals who had just been executed.

These headless corpses were lined up inside the gate like an army, attempting to invade the deeper area where the Medici Family members were located.

That was a group of qualified Beyonders, struggling against this mutation.

"So where did their heads go?" Chumen only took one look before arriving in front of an inconspicuous room.

Chumen pressed his hand against the door again, but this time, a certain terrifying sensation made the information stream that constituted Chumen's body tremble!

Both the "Hermit" Unique and the "Knowledge Emperor" Characteristic were trembling in that aura; the thing inside naturally would not be simple.

"City of Calamity?" Chumen sighed softly; "City of Calamity" was one of the few Source Qualities he could not restrict.

He had already confirmed this point when he found the traces She left behind in the Grey Fog.

The concept of "weakness" had undergone a terrifying qualitative change at the Oldest One level, shifting from grasping an opponent's "weakness" to creating "weakness" out of thin air.

Even if the "Lord of the Mysteries" had not weakened the Seal, this Source Quality would inevitably have seeped through.

And the effect Chumen's act of strengthening the Seal could have on "City of Calamity" was also limited.

"Medici?" Chumen knocked on the door lightly.

"Chumen?" Medici's slightly weak voice sounded.

At this moment, information converged between Chumen and Medici; Chumen tapped a finger lightly, and the door began to turn illusory, allowing him to see the scene inside.

Grey-white mist permeated the entire space; it was no longer a room, and behind the door, it was more like another world.

And Chumen also saw Medici.

At this time, He was wearing blood-stained black armor, with blood streaks on His handsome face, but His gaze remained resolute.

Chumen's gaze fell to the center of Medici's brow, where there was a banner-like mark.

This could not help but remind Chumen of the dark blue-black light door that had appeared at the center of the "Lord of the Mysteries'" brow when He awakened.

"Heh, a distinguished guest has arrived, huh." Medici seemed to have seen Chumen as well, greeting him in His habitual tone.

"Tsk, I see you aren't doing so well; you were defeated just like this? Even the Characteristic on your body is about to be snatched away." Chumen had no intention of entering this world and just stood outside the door watching.

If Medici were truly defeated, He might end up with the same fate as the original "Hidden Sage."

"Hmph, it's just some Source Quality aura; you think this can kill me?" Medici snorted coldly, drew an Iron and Blood War Sword from His body, and charged directly into the thick fog.

And as He entered, that patch of thick fog also rioted, as if something was about to break free from within it.

"Roar!" It was like an army roaring in unison, morale high, spirit and will reaching a peak state, and these wills also transformed into real power, bestowing strength upon Medici.

And Medici also slashed out with a sword at this moment.

"Slaughter"!

A blood-red sword radiance briefly cut open the thick fog, revealing the terrifying scene inside.

It was an ancient pagoda with an Eastern aesthetic composed of countless heads.

Every head was in the most painful expression from before death; the flesh and blood on their faces had already begun to rot, dripping yellow pus.

And connecting these heads were pipes of flesh and blood; they were human esophagi, pulled out along with the heads, then coming here to entangle with other heads, forming the thing before his eyes...

"View of the dead." This was the term Chumen found from his memory.

And it itself also represented military merit, showing off war achievements, and the like.

Medici's "Slaughter" slashed onto that bone pagoda.

But the ancient pagoda itself was like a mad Monster composed of countless heads; all the heads opened their mouths to howl, and a terrifying sound wave swept through everything.

At this moment, Destruction Calamities descended; earthquakes, meteorites, wind and snow, and other calamities smashed onto Medici.

Likewise, these attacks also carried effects like "Harvest" and "Slaughter," leaving Medici in precarious danger.

During this process, the Banner Mark at the center of Medici's brow glowed even more, and the corruption became even more severe.

"I can handle it!" Medici snapped, full of arrogance, refusing Chumen's offer of help.

"You can handle it, but your clansmen outside will die if they keep waiting." Having persisted until now under the corruption of a Source Quality, those Medicis were already excellent enough, but there was an insurmountable chasm between the two.

Chumen's body transformed into an information stream that passed through that door and entered the world formed by the Source Quality's corruption.

"..." Medici still wanted to hold out, but ultimately did not speak.

After establishing the family, His personality as a natural Mythical Creature had changed somewhat, having the concept of family and clansmen.

This was a good thing; at the very least, Medici's state over these years was much better than Ouroboros, who had not left behind a family.

"Hmph!" Medici could only snort coldly, "I'll count this as me owing you one."

Medici killed toward the bone pagoda again; Chumen snapped his fingers lightly, and a torrent of information falling from an infinitely high place instantly covered that bone pagoda!

At the same time, Chumen's eyes became as clear and translucent as amethyst, his gaze falling upon the bone tower, utterly unbridled.

An ordinary Seer would be subject to Corruption just by looking at a Mythical Form, but for him, he has already perfectly exerted the traits of a Seer.

Ha, can you, a "City of Calamity," really corrupt me?
