Chapter 311: Total Annihilation and Retreat (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Inside the Investigation Bureau chief's office.

Through a curse crystal, Claude could clearly see the battle situation on the plaza.

Regrettably, as a chief with low combat power, he was not only unable to join the fight but instead required protection from other investigators.

However, he believed that an Investigation Bureau chief should not be charging at the front like a warrior; coordinating and commanding from the rear was his proper duty.

"Has the request for reinforcements been sent?"

He looked toward a liaison and roared.

In the end, even the two investigator bodyguards beside Claude met the same fate.

The next moment!

His body was swept up by the black tide, his flesh and blood rotting away; only a skull remained floating above the black tide, but it too was rapidly sinking...

The blood-red giant bound upon the black thorns watched this scene, calmly retracted the Spear of the Sun King, and his massive body submerged into the black tide, vanishing abruptly.

The liaison hurriedly answered loudly: "Wait... there is a reply!"

In the next blink, the golden meteor in mid-air made a sudden turn, pierced through Xisituosi's chest, and fell back into the palm of the "God of Suffering."

"It has already been sent multiple times via lines and curses!"

Inside the prison.

The evil cultists attacking the Queen's District, or rather, creating chaos in the Queen's District, was just to draw away firepower.

The surviving investigators looked at this scene and could not help but let out a cheer.

Behind the door, a massive metal castle could be vaguely seen.

Watching the black tide begin to erode all the buildings of the Investigation Bureau, Claude could not help but roar: "Stop him!"

"The 'God of Suffering'? Does he really dare to attack the Investigation Bureau headquarters?"

A Gourmet surviving on the plaza seemed to have come into contact with a bit of "Niulv," and his body instantly seemed to enter a vortex, twisted into a bizarre shape that broke the limits of human imagination, and landed on the ground.

"Damn it."

This was the power belonging to the "Law," bestowed by the source, providing support from afar without limits!

Yet the Investigation Bureau had nothing to say about it.

It was even "alive" in its entirety.

Inside the chief's office.

How many investigators died didn't matter, but if a noble or a member of the Royal Family died, that would be big news!

Even for a saturation rescue, the Queen's District had to be rescued first!

He saw Xisituosi throw the Spear of the Sun King; that spear instantly turned into a streak of golden light, flying toward the "God of Suffering."

The next moment, they fell to the ground one after another, walking toward death without the slightest power to resist.

He knew... the Investigation Bureau was finished!

Although he had always disliked those Non-human Existences, with so many high-level members instantly annihilated, the entire Investigation Bureau existed in name only.

Claude looked at Xisituosi, who held the Spear of the Sun King, his eyes lacking confidence and instead filled with worry.

He was really just an old gatekeeper.

Before the "Gate of Hell," the old gatekeeper sitting behind a wooden table watched the rolling, foul-smelling black tide, sighed with a face full of vicissitudes, stood up, and his gaze was calm.

The next moment, they saw the "God of Suffering" gently throw the Spear of the Sun King.

Above the Investigation Bureau plaza, a Spirit World door suddenly opened, and countless mechanical puppets surged out in an instant!

Light!

The Spear of the Sun King seemed to turn into a streak of golden light, cruising across the Investigation Bureau plaza.

To others, with the protection of the Spear of the Sun King in the Investigation Bureau, even if they couldn't repel the enemy, self-preservation would be more than enough.

But Claude saw that the "God of Suffering" had not retreated; on the contrary, the pitch-black, viscous liquid beneath his feet was still continuously spreading in all directions.

Unfortunately, this had no effect at all.

From the Shadow, this "distortion" was continuously spread, twisting the entire plaza into a single point and separating it from the original Investigation Bureau.

Inside the office, Chief Claude slumped in his chair.

This metal castle was a living mechanical factory and a city of steel!

Amidst the darkness, countless shadows merged to form a twisted shadow.

Touched even slightly by someone, it dissipated like smoke.

Claude slowly opened his eyes and saw one mechanical legion after another blocking his path, forming a dam.

This strong sense of déjà vu made Fiona and Yagebu feel incomparably regretful: "It turned out to be like this!"

He seemed to have obtained information directly from the void and repeated it loudly: "The Queen's District is under attack by the 'Lotus Eater Society'... the military, the Royal Family, and the Crowns of the Upper House are dealing with the Blood Cup Archbishop..."

How fast is the speed of light?

A golden thread darted nimbly, crisscrossing; Fiona, Yagebu, and these other Non-human Existences didn't even have time to react before their chests were inexplicably pierced, the wounds showing signs of burning, as if filled with golden magma inside.

All of this happened too fast for anyone to react.

"It's reinforcements from the Royal Family, the military, and Parliament!"

Pitch-black thorns thrust out from the ground, as if they had eyes, skewering the investigators one by one.

They suddenly looked up, gazing at the "God of Suffering" holding the Spear of the Sun King, their expressions inevitably turning incomparably desperate.

When Fiona and Yagebu looked back, they could only see a terrifying piercing wound on Xisituosi's chest, a large amount of blood gushing out, and his whole body falling from the high platform onto the plaza tiles.

All his Spirituality and consciousness... were instantly destroyed under that spear, and the body left behind was merely a shell.

"No!"

It was obvious that he was very interested in the data and Magical Items accumulated by the Investigation Bureau, as well as those prisoners; he wanted to swallow the entire Investigation Bureau whole!

Its surface was covered with batteries, and the barrels were covered in Mysterious Talismans, filled with a flavor that blended sci-fi machinery with Mysterious and Weird elements.

He watched the pitch-black slime surging over, his expression instantly becoming calm.

The next moment, he saw a giant black thorn tree, and a blood-red giant bound upon the tree.

The "God of Suffering" did not choose to engage the reinforcements directly, but instead chose to retreat.

On these mechanical puppets, there were also Talismans constantly Blink-ing; they emitted a faint Light, yet they blocked the pitch-black tide.

But even knowing this, as Claude watched investigator after investigator fall and be dismembered by Ghouls, his face remained filled with pain.

The black tide was like waves crashing against a reef, suddenly collapsing and falling as countless pitch-black raindrops.

Furthermore, how to handle a pet dog encountering danger versus owners encountering danger goes without saying.

Of course he knew how important the Queen District was; it was not only the location of Mitra Palace, but also where the mansions of many great nobles were.

Splash!

"Sigh..."

"It seems there's no hope of picking up a bargain; while they haven't rebuilt the seal yet, we should leave."

Claude slammed his fist heavily onto the office desk.

Aaron sighed and grabbed Yefunai's arm.

Lili and Jessita hurriedly made the same movement, and Yefunai's figure, along with the three of them, blurred, submerged into the Spirit World, and disappeared...
