Chapter 3514: The Invisible Backstab of a Teammate

With the activation of the War Lord title's ultimate ability, the originally murderous atmosphere became a bit more cold and lonely. It wasn't the cold in the air, but more like cold metal pressed against the skin, producing a stinging cold sensation.

For some reason, the Ancient War Beast that could be summoned immediately in the past was changed to an Ancient Creature this time, and it wasn't summoned immediately.

Su Xiao had never heard of what "World Eater" was. All he could do now was wait. Fortunately, the battle hadn't started yet. This trump card came a bit slowly, but it was no big deal.

Su Xiao had a feeling that this activation of the War Lord title's ultimate ability seemed to have been blessed by this world, which was why there was such a change.

The change in the surrounding atmosphere was also noticed by Wuying Solaro, who was standing on the city wall opposite. But after waiting for a few seconds and finding that nothing happened, his furrowed brows relaxed a bit, and he whispered a secret order to the female adjutant beside him. The female adjutant left in a hurry.

Directly in front of the Platinum Capital, this was a large open plain. The original signal towers, etc., were all destroyed in the previous melee. At this time, on this plain, the Devil Beast legion and the Corruptor legion opposite were confronting each other, separated by hundreds of meters.

In front of the Devil Beast army was Abaddon, who was over 4 meters tall, covered in black armor, and humanoid in shape. As a leader-level unit among the Devil Beasts, it also had a tail blade nearly 5 meters long. In its hand, it held a two-handed heavy sword that looked like it was filled with magma inside.

And in front of the Corruptors opposite was a knight riding a Netherworld war beast. It was covered in black-green heavy armor, holding a long-handled heavy hammer in its right hand and wearing heavy arm armor on its left hand. The heavy armor on its body had biological conduits connected to the war beast beneath it. This was Wuying Solaro's number one general, Angry Hammer · Wenze.

After the two armies stood in a stalemate for a few seconds, a blast came from above. It was a plasma cannon tearing through the sky, skimming an arc and falling into the Platinum Capital.

That's right, for this decisive battle, the Titan Giant Beast was of course brought along. To bring these big guys, many hosts were fused, and they were dragged by the Devil Flame Dragons.

Accompanying this loud noise, among the Corruptors, a special Corruptor with a small stature and flesh that appeared translucent dark green roared. It was a "Body Walker" among the Corruptors. Among every 10,000 Corruptors, there were 1-3 such special individuals. It was no problem to call them local battlefield commanders.

The roars of the Corruptors connected into one piece. The heavy armored knight · Angry Hammer · Wenze patted the war beast beneath him and charged first. The Corruptors behind him began to run wildly forward, with a fierce and vicious appearance.

On his side, the leader-level Devil Beast · Abaddon in the front greeted the enemy general. The heavy sword in its hand clashed with the straight hammer with a *clang*. The impact generated by the confrontation between Abaddon and the Angry Hammer blasted the Devil Beasts and Corruptors in the surrounding area away, splashing like flowers scattered by a goddess.

The heavy sword and the war hammer were pressed together. Only then did the magma inside the heavy sword in Abaddon's hand spread rapidly to Abaddon's arm, quickly causing magma patterns to appear on the right half of his body.

On the battlefield, the Devil Beast's tail blade swept across, slashing the Corruptors until severed limbs flew everywhere, but the Corruptors also had combat power. They were as fearless of death as the Zerg.

This is also the reason why the Empire has always chosen to wait and see. Among the three, there is no such thing as low morale for the combat units of the two sides. They are in a state of full morale throughout, and fearlessness of death is the average level.

Facing these two sides competing on the same stage, the Empire felt bitter in its heart. It wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Su Xiao overlooked the battlefield below. The Netherworld side's defense line was not firm. The black wave formed by his own 480,000 Devil Beasts was gradually advancing, getting closer and closer to the towering alloy city wall. The Netherworld Dragon Whales in the sky had been completely suppressed by his own 5,000+ Devil Flame Dragons.

The battle situation was great. According to the current progress, he didn't even need to build Brutal Turrets to capture the Platinum Capital.

Just when Su Xiao was guessing what layout Wuying Solaro had, the amethyst ring on his finger flashed with a faint light. It was the mental information sent by Jila.

His own base camp was attacked. The enemy opened two dark holes with a diameter of 5 kilometers above and diagonally in front of the base camp. At this time, those two dark holes were pouring out Corruptors with all their might.

Su Xiao had already experienced how troublesome the dark hole was. Last time, just one dark hole almost caused his base camp to fall. Although the defensive power of his base camp had increased now, with 780 Brutal Turrets and 10 Titan Giant Beasts left, there was still a risk of being captured.

It had to be admitted that Wuying Solaro's move was arranged very exquisitely.

Su Xiao even suspected that the intelligence about the World Gate being established was deliberately released by the other party, just to make his side send out all troops this morning to attack the Platinum Capital.

In this kind of battle, Su Xiao would definitely come to the front line in person. In this way, only Jila and various defensive buildings would be left in his base camp, and at most, some personal Devil Beasts would be left.

Once his side started attacking the Platinum Capital, Wuying Solaro would order the opening of the dark holes on his base camp side. The Corruptors pouring down from there would leave Su Xiao with only two choices.

1. Retreat from the Platinum Capital side, but if he did this, going back to defend the base camp would likely be dragged by those two dark holes for a long time. Once the time reached noon today, the World Gate would be constructed, and the main force of the Netherworld would enter this world. At that time, everything would be over. Before Jila was promoted from Lord-level to Empress-level, she couldn't confront the main force of the Netherworld forces.

2. Ignore the situation on the base camp side for the time being and continue to attack the Platinum Capital, striving to capture the Platinum Capital at the fastest speed.

The second choice seemed feasible, but last night, Wuying Solaro deliberately showed a card, which was Xiao Fuliya.

Wuying Solaro deliberately let Su Xiao know how strong an assassin Xiao Fuliya was. At this moment, the base camp was bearing the pouring of Corruptors from two dark holes. Under such circumstances, Xiao Fuliya infiltrated the Hive to assassinate Jila. Once Jila was killed, his side's situation would collapse.

Rushing back to his base camp from the Platinum Capital would take at least two hours. Going back now would be too late.

This situation seemed unsolvable. Fortunately, Su Xiao had prepared a backup plan long ago, which happened to be useful at this time.

Not to mention that Amu was guarding the Hive, his side also had a strong combatant. Please don't misunderstand, it's not Hao Mei, but the newly promoted Savior · Aisaia.

When the Netherworld forces first attacked his side, Aisaia wanted to help defend. The reason Su Xiao gave at the time was to let Aisaia protect the safety of the Son of the World · Laikeli. After weighing it, Aisaia agreed to this matter.

Protecting the Son of the World · Laikeli was a cover. Su Xiao could of course perceive that Aisaia's combat power was similar to his own, so he deliberately let the other party hide her strength.

Recently, Aisaia had been staying in the Sun Sacred Nest, partly because she had nowhere to go, and partly because the food on his side was very good. She wasn't stupid; she knew that the outside world was full of Corruptors, and even for her, facing the endless human-sea tactic was very dangerous.

In the current situation, it was just right to entrust Aisaia as a guard to protect Jila with Amu for a period of time. Of course, the reward afterward must be given. This kind of dangerous thing must be rewarded.

Su Xiao was not omniscient and omnipotent. In terms of leading troops to fight, he knew he was worse than Wuying Solaro, but that didn't matter. Defeating the other party in the field he was good at was enough.

The battlefield below was becoming more chaotic. Tens of thousands of Devil Beasts were mixed with countless Corruptors. In the sky, a Netherworld Dragon Whale with half its body burned fell, biting a roaring Devil Flame Dragon to death in its mouth.

His side's front line had advanced to 100 meters in front of the alloy city wall, and it was not far from breaking the city. The situation at the base camp was still okay and could be held.

On the battlefield, a Devil Beast's tail blade swept continuously, lunged forward, and climbed onto the alloy city wall. Just as it was about to climb up, a fluorescent green fireball fell, blasting it to death.

The city was about to be broken, but Wuying Solaro on the city wall was exceptionally calm. A black light ball gathered in his hand and floated above him. At this time, there were already two black light balls above him. Including the one that just appeared, there were three in total.

The sky suddenly turned dark, and the darkness stirred like a vortex. In that viscous darkness, a giant figure completely composed of Corruptors fell. Its head was hundreds of skulls squeezed together, its torso was composed of spliced Corruptors, and its dozen giant arms were composed of tens of thousands of Corruptors' arms. This spliced giant monster made one feel a soul-deep nausea just by looking at it.

This giant monster squeezed out of the dark hole like a calf being born. In turn, it raised its dozen giant arms to prop open the dark hole.

*Click, click, click, click... *

The sound like glass shattering came from the dark hole. Finally, after a crisp *crack*, the dark hole cracked, turning into an irregular black hole with a diameter of over 10,000 meters, and the Corruptors inside poured down.

If other dark holes were pouring out Corruptors like releasing water, this time it was like smashing the bottom of a water tank, letting the water inside surge down.

"Roar!!"

The Corruptors roared toward the bottom. A shocking scene appeared. Under the pouring of Corruptors of this scale, the entire Platinum Capital was like being flooded, submerged by the Corruptors.

In order to keep the Platinum Capital from being captured and thus preserve the World Gate, Wuying Solaro could be said to have played all his cards.

On the city wall, Wuying Solaro looked at Su Xiao on the dragon's back in the distance. He admitted that this opponent was very strong, but the current situation was that after the dark hole was broken through, the Corruptors from the colonial planet were enough to pour down like this for several days. With the enemy's cleaning speed, not only could they not reduce the number of Corruptors in the Platinum Capital, but the Corruptors would instead become more and more numerous.

As for the enemy being able to obtain energy by killing Corruptors and then producing troops, Wuying Solaro had long discovered this point, which was why he risked fighting on two fronts. When the Platinum Capital was attacked, he decisively opened two dark holes on the Sun Sacred Nest side.

In this way, even if the enemy produced troops with the Hive, they couldn't rush out of the base camp and couldn't support the front-line battlefield.

This would cause the enemy's front-line battlefield troops to solidify, and even decrease with the fierce battle, which made it even more impossible to clean up the Corruptors in the Platinum Capital.

"Extinguisher, it's a pity, we are enemies this time."

After speaking, Wuying Solaro turned around and walked step by step toward the city wall along the steps formed by the kneeling Corruptors, returning to the place where the World Gate was in the city.

Barbados flew high in the sky, and Su Xiao was able to overlook the full view of the Platinum Capital. The current situation was that his own Devil Beast army had completely surrounded the Platinum Capital, but couldn't break in. The Corruptors in the city were piled up—not standing, but piled up. The alloy city walls, tens of meters high on all four sides, made the Platinum Capital look like a super-giant pool.

Su Xiao was indeed not as good as Wuying Solaro in terms of tactics, but that didn't matter. He took out a 【Sun's Fury · Apollo】 from his storage space. When in doubt, greet with Apollo.

He was just about to activate the Apollo in his hand and throw it into the Platinum Capital when a hint appeared.

【Hint: Ancient Creature has been successfully awakened.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao was expressionless. He suspected that the world consciousness of this world had some problems. Before, he was prepared to use his big move at the start of the war to catch Wuying Solaro off guard, but the War Lord title's ability was stuck due to the intervention of world consciousness. It took so long to complete the intervention, and the delay was too high—nearly three hours.

【Successfully awakened Ancient Creature · World Eater.】

【World Eater is an ultra-high-dimensional creature from the ancient era of this world, a metal life form/ancient creature, extinct for 9,852 years. This metal creature possesses powerful phagocytosis and divisibility and once devoured the organic matter on this planet.】

【Due to its unique life structure, World Eater cannot absorb the active life force within carbon-based organisms and cannot exclude it, only by continuing to divide can it ensure that the active life force retained in the body does not crystallize.】

【During the division process, World Eater needs to consume soul power. In order not to face extinction, it can only continue to divide and devour living beings. The reproduction speed of the creatures on this planet is slower than the devouring speed of World Eater.】

【Under the condition that World Eater suppresses its own division speed as much as possible, after 1,752 years, only this huge group remained on this planet, and there was no other life. Finally, due to the lack of soul energy intake, the World Eater group came to an end. During this period, the active life force in their bodies began to semi-crystallize, and later due to crustal changes, these semi-crystallized life forces were buried underground, forming the current life ore.】

【Your side's morale has reached its peak.】

【The Slayer is currently commanding more than 400,000 soldier-type units.】

【The true intelligence and quantity of World Eater can reach the extreme value of this world.】

【Warning: The suppression of World Eater's division speed by this world has been temporarily lifted.】

With the appearance of the last hint, an iron-gray flying insect appeared in front of Su Xiao. The World Eater, which would be targeted by the world, was actually a metal flying insect the size of a housefly. At this time, it was vibrating its wings, and its red compound eyes were looking at Su Xiao.

After about 5 seconds, the World Eater buzzed and flew away, rushing into the body of a Corruptor on the ground. After leaving a black hole on it, it disappeared into it.

Holes of various sizes appeared on this corpse at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been quickly eroded by time. In the blink of an eye, only a few dust particles remained.

*Buzz~*

Thousands of World Eaters scattered, whether it was Corruptors, Devil Beast corpses, or even bacterial carpets, none could escape the devouring of World Eaters.

5 seconds passed, and there was nothing on a large battlefield. Not to mention corpses and bacterial carpets, even a layer of ground was gone.

Bubu Wang, who was squatting behind Su Xiao, was stunned and subconsciously shrank behind Su Xiao's legs. If it were targeted, it would definitely be gone in the next second.

*Buzz!! *

The sound of wings vibrating came across the battlefield. A group of Netherworld mid-level generals on the city wall saw this scene, their faces changed slightly, and they realized something was wrong.

World Eaters were like an iron-gray dust storm, attacking indiscriminately. Wherever they passed, whether it was Devil Beasts, Devil Flame Dragons, Corruptors, Gray-Armored Warriors, Soul Twisters, or Netherworld Dragon Whales, they turned into a few wisps of debris in the next second and were devoured.

A hair-raising scene appeared. When the World Eater group was blocked by the alloy city wall, they had a huge appetite. Metal was their favorite thing, not to mention the alloy that had been artificially refined.

In the blink of an eye, the front city wall of the Platinum Capital disappeared, and the Corruptors inside poured out like a broken embankment, facing the World Eater group.

There were many Corruptors, but once the World Eaters had sufficient soul energy, their division speed was in the mode of one into two, two into four, four into eight. What's more terrifying is that there is no difference between the World Eater's main body and the split body; all those after splitting are main bodies.

Originally, there were a spectacular number of Corruptors in the city, but now, the Corruptors in the city were quickly decomposed by the World Eater group. The World Eater group grew at high speed, devoured all the Corruptors in the city, and rushed straight to the dark hole above.

A few seconds later, the already broken dark hole in the sky cracked again and finally dissipated in mid-air.

When the last group of black mist in the sky disappeared, a Corruptor that had been eaten until only half its body remained fell and landed in the Platinum Capital with a *plop*.

High-rise buildings, city walls, etc., all disappeared. The Platinum Capital now became a barren land. What remained was a large area of low and broken ruins.

"..."

Su Xiao was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that the thing summoned by the War Lord title this time would be so strong. Originally, his idea was that he would have to lose at least two-thirds of his existing troops to capture the Platinum Capital. Now, with less than one-tenth lost, he successfully captured this place.

Taking out a pocket watch from his bosom, Su Xiao opened the cover and timed it second by second. Until the second hand passed 12, he knew something was wrong. There was no hint. According to normal circumstances, World Eaters would only exist for 60 seconds, but now 100 seconds had passed, and the hint of the World Eater's disappearance still hadn't appeared.

Su Xiao checked the series of hints just now and quickly found the problem. In the past, when he activated the War Lord title's ultimate ability, the hint was "War Spirit Awakening," followed by the hint of "** construction."

This time it wasn't awakening, but awakening. More importantly, there was no ** construction this time. The World Eater appeared directly.

This world has life ore because World Eater once brought an extinction disaster. Everything has two sides. After that disaster ended, a large amount of life ore was deposited underground in this world, which led to the subsequent unique ecology.

Su Xiao suspected that this metal life form called World Eater, even after so many years, since it hadn't died completely, it was hard to say how long this metal life form could hibernate or sleep.

Originally, Su Xiao shouldn't have summoned the World Eater, but with the assistance of the world consciousness of this world, he successfully summoned it.

For some reason, Su Xiao always had the feeling that the world consciousness of this world was clearly inclined toward his side, but it had been helping with the wrong things.

Su Xiao carefully recalled the things that the world consciousness of this world had interfered with, totaling as follows:

1. Kara, who was boosted by a large amount of world power by the world consciousness, became his enemy. It was Su Xiao who handled it himself. He had to handle it; Kara's mind was eroded by Netherworld power.

2. Aisaia, who was also selected by a large amount of world power, is the number one idler in this world. She does everything, just not the right things. This time she did the right thing, but it happened to be a coincidence.

3. The world consciousness selected the first Son of the World in the Platinum Capital, but that Son of the World cooled down, successfully helping the enemy. Finally, the Son of the World who turned into a Corruptor was killed by his own Devil Beasts. After dropping the treasure chest and opening 【Gluttonous Fish】, it exploded like a firecracker.

4. The world consciousness selected the Son of the World again, named Laikeli. As a result, Laikeli became a special existence of Netherworld constitution + Son of the World. If Laikeli were taken away by the Netherworld forces, Wuying Solaro could build a World Gate with this in at most three hours.

Obviously, this almost helped the Netherworld forces again.

5. Helped summon the World Eater, and as a result, brought the World Eater to life. Now the World Eater has reached a colonial planet through that dark hole. Although the Netherworld forces have been beaten back, Su Xiao has a feeling that from the perspective of short-term threats, the World Eater doesn't seem to be worse than the Netherworld forces.

It can be seen that the world consciousness of this world, while saying "Extinguisher, I will definitely help you," has actually stabbed Su Xiao in the back several times, and every stab was a critical hit.

【Hint: This world has severed part of the area, and the rest is "Gray Hunter Star."】

【The severed area has been judged as a land of abandonment and has been included in the Tree of the Void.】

【Because "Gray Hunter Star" has the ultra-high-risk creature · World Eater, this area has been integrated into the "Eternal Light World," coexisting with Parasitic Star Crabs, Dark Spirits, Abyss Creatures, etc.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao deeply remembered the place "Eternal Light World" and would definitely not go to this ghost place in the future.

At first glance, Eternal Light World, what a gentle name, but after going there, immediately open the survival mode. Any main quest released is a disrespect to the "Eternal Light World." It's good enough for an eighth-rank contractor to survive there, let alone execute tasks?

Su Xiao closed the hint, very gratified. The world consciousness of this world finally did a right thing, severing the entire "Gray Hunter Star" and banishing the World Eater.

Controlling Barbados to lower the flight altitude, arriving above a ruin, Su Xiao jumped down from the dragon's back and landed in front of a huge gate. This gate looked virtual and real, with dark green mist inside.

Su Xiao appeared in front of the World Gate in the next instant and kicked it straight.

*Boom!! *

The World Gate shattered, turning into large crystal particles splashing. The dark green mist inside formed a vortex, rolled back, shrank into the air, and disappeared.

【Hint: You have repelled the Netherworld faction from this world!】

Underworld, City of the Dead · Erta.

The news of Wuying Solaro's defeat hadn't been transmitted back immediately, but it was only a matter of time. Compared to this big event, at this time in the front city area of the City of the Dead, in an old house.

Many candles were lit in the room, illuminating the place. The Monk held the divine scripture in his hand, reading it devoutly and gently. Snow Monster and Lu Ge on the side were bored, while Kain paced back and forth in front of the wardrobe, worried.

*Ding-a-ling~*

The doorbell rang. Kain looked happy and hurried to greet it. A small old man wearing a dirty white coat and a thin figure walked into the main hall.

"Doctor Wofu, I am..."

Kain's words were only half spoken, Caesar... cough, no, Doctor Wofu raised his hand, signaling Kain not to speak.

Caesar was currently wearing the 【Deceiver's Hood】 and had entered a disguised state.

"The patient is you, I know."

Hearing this, Kain's gaze turned to the Monk. The Monk shook his head slightly, meaning he hadn't revealed who the patient was before.

"You are really a divine doctor, seeing my problem at a glance."

Kain became the person he hated most before, a flattery went up. Compared to his life, this was not important.

"What divine doctor, you have a face of death, you've become a ghost, am I blind?"

Caesar put down the medicine box and sat down. He looked exhausted and said slowly: "I've been busy for a few days, relax, you won't mind, right?"

Caesar made a gesture of taking off his shoes. Kain's expression stiffened, but he also said: "Of course I don't mind, these are all small things."

"That's good."

Caesar finished speaking and took off the shoes on his feet. His expression became relaxed. He had indeed been busy for several days.

As soon as Caesar took off his shoes, the Monk, who had a kind expression nearby, gradually became solemn, as if he realized the seriousness of the matter. He stood up and walked out.

"Ugh~, Doctor Wofu, you'd better..."

Kain narrowed his eyes. He was stunned. He was in a soul state now, and he was actually attacked by this smell, and his eyes were stinging.

"Young people nowadays, really have no standing."

Caesar seemed to have rare compassion and put on his shoes. But the next second, Lu Ge nearby fell under the table with a *thud*. Thinking about it, after he wakes up tomorrow and is smoked into a blank, he will have bad memories.

"If I didn't judge wrong, you were struck by Boundary Thunder. Come on, start the first course of treatment."

Caesar took out a bottle of turbid potion and looked at Kain with "concern." For some reason, Kain suddenly felt terrified in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 3515 =====
