Chapter 890

Exploring forward along the trajectory of the battle marks, like chasing the sound of blades and swords that were drifting away and almost non-existent.

Bai Xuan and his party stepped deep into the hinterland of the Alchemy Commission, and the battlefield scenes along the way became increasingly tragic and shocking.

Around the battlefield, there were broken walls and ruins, the beacon fires had been extinguished, and only the occasional crow's cry broke the dead silence.

The remains of both warring parties could be seen everywhere, mixed together.

The bodies of the Mara-struck soldiers emitted pale green smoke, and even though their consciousness had dissipated, their strange flesh was still struggling to regenerate;

The remains of the Cloud Knights were inseparable from the enemy's corpses, some still gripping their weapons, maintaining a charging posture, ready to make a final stand.

"So tragic..." March 7th sighed.

Even though she was used to the smell of blood in the air, she still couldn't accept such a scene.

Beside her, "Stelle" carefully stepped over the corpses.

The trajectory of the world became slow in her perception, the details of the battlefield were clear, and every movement was keenly captured.

"Stelle" tightened her grip on her baseball bat, guarding against any "old six" hiding in the pile of corpses like a landmine.

Tingyun still maintained the posture of a delicate woman, leaning tightly against Bai Xuan, as if seeking shelter.

Just then, a cry for help came from afar.

March 7th looked in the direction of the sound, her eyes slightly narrowed: "Look, there's someone there."

A Cloud Knight lay on the ground, with a medic crouching beside him, seemingly performing emergency treatment.

March 7th didn't think and was about to run there immediately.

However, before her steps could start, she felt someone pull her hand, gently restraining her.

She was slightly stunned, looked back, and saw Bai Xuan gently holding her hand.

At this moment, she heard Bai Xuan say softly: "Don't rush, observe for a moment."

March 7th blinked her eyes; although she didn't know why her lover said so, she just nodded, interlaced her hand with his, and stood side by side with him.

"Stelle," carrying her baseball bat, also looked over, her brow slightly puzzled.

The fallen Cloud Knight was struggling violently while calling for help, completely resisting the medic's treatment, as if that person wasn't a healer, but a monster in human skin.

Welt frowned and also slowed his pace.

And that medic didn't seem to notice the gaze of the few, one hand trying to press the Cloud Knight's body to keep him from struggling, the other hand holding a syringe, looking for a weak point to inject.

Suddenly, she finally realized there were people behind her, slowly turned around, trying her best to maintain a kind disguise, just like the face a medic should have in the hearts of ordinary people.

But just as she saw the faces of Bai Xuan and his party, her body paused imperceptibly:

"Eh, you aren't Cloud Knights?"

Why would outsiders appear on the battlefield?

"What are you doing here? It's very dangerous."

Seeing that the other party didn't realize she had been exposed, Welt Yang played along and slowly stepped forward:

"We are reinforcements invited by the General. May I ask where the others have gone?"

Responding to him was a twisted smile and a sentence with a creepy laugh:

"To actually bring short-lived species as reinforcements... hehe, Jing Yuan really has no one left to use."

Welt Yang was a bit surprised.

Why wasn't this person even pretending?

"Run!"

The Cloud Knight squeezed the little strength left in his chest and abdomen, shouting desperately.

"This guy is... 'Disciples of Sanctus Medicus'!"

He supported himself with his arms, trying to stand up to drag the enemy beside him.

"Talkative."

The "medic" was a bit impatient: "If I heal you, you will also be one of us."

According to the consistent practice of the "Disciples of Sanctus Medicus," after finding a lone wounded enemy soldier, they must let the other party receive the blessing of the "Sanctus Medicus" and share immortality!

Simply put, turn them into cannon fodder.

"So..."

Just as she intended to carry out the final step of the transformation, she suddenly found that the Cloud Knight was gone.

"Where is the person?"

She was a bit surprised.

Looking left and right, after focusing her eyes, she saw the heavily wounded Cloud Knight lying beside the short-lived species invited by Jing Yuan.

Oh, a short-lived species who couldn't see the situation clearly was pulling an ice bow, aiming at her.

Just by relying on this flashy ice arrow that looked like it had no power, she wanted to hurt her flesh blessed by the "Merciful Medicus"?

How ridiculous.

As for the few people beside the archer, they were even less worth worrying about:

A handsome skin without any weapons, a funny character holding a baseball bat, a weak foxian girl, and a weak-looking middle-aged man.

"The lifespan of short-lived species passes in a flash, why seek your own death?"

"Why did you come to the Xianzhou, do you want to seek immortality?"

"No need to look at Jing Yuan's face! The 'Disciples of Sanctus Medicus' can give you what you want!"

The Cloud Knight spoke with difficulty:

"Run..."

"The 'Disciples of Sanctus Medicus' have an ambush here."

His body suddenly stopped hurting. At the last moment of his life, the "Reignbow Arbiter" seemed to lower His eyes and cast His mercy.

I'm sorry, General, your subordinate can only fight to this point... Just then, he saw the young man in a black robe crouching beside him cast a strange look at him.

It was as if asking: Why are you still lying there?

He looked at Bai Xuan with a dull expression, and after a while, finally discovered that his fatal wound had healed, and his broken body was once again full of strength.

Then, he sat up and looked at the "medic" who was trying to force treatment, but only saw a human statue covered in frost.

Clearly, she was dead as dead could be.

And such ice sculptures were not just one; those "Abominations of Abundance" hiding in the corners of the Alchemy Commission.

Were all wiped out.

The General found strong reinforcements...

He thought so.

……

And outside the Xianzhou, in other parts of the galaxy.

Watching the Huang Shi site turn into nothingness and the "Deus Ex Machina" no longer existing, the viewers couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"This..."

"Ah?"

"My god, an apocalyptic scenario that absolutely cannot be restarted!"

In the original cognition of the viewers, "SCP-2000" = sense of security = world-resetting facility; as long as no supreme divinity wiped out the whole world, everything had a chance to start over.

However, now, an apocalyptic catastrophe of unknown cause swept in, and in front of it, even the Foundation's ultimate safeguard failed to survive.

"Since this is the case, everything makes sense—the 'Deus Ex Machina' was destroyed long ago, and the Foundation had to start other plans to face this disaster, but other plans also failed."

"A valuable lesson: there shouldn't be only one ultimate means; besides the main body, at least one backup should be kept."

"The protection measures for 'Deus Ex Machina' must be top-notch, and there are so many Reality Stability Anchors... it wouldn't have been destroyed by a geological disaster, would it..."

"Please don't underestimate the power of a planet; intense geological activity can easily cripple an interstellar pre-civilization. If it's active plate movement, it can even completely push an interstellar pre-civilization back to the early industrial era."

……

"... This?"

Standing on the cliff, looking at the molten white-hot earth beneath her feet, Alice took two steps back and shook her head in disbelief.

How could this be? Why would this happen? The Huang Shi site was destroyed?

In just a few seconds, Alice fell from heaven into hell, which made her instinctively resist reality and look for various possible reasons to deny everything before her eyes.

Everything is over... the apocalypse cannot be ended... humanity is bound to perish...

Alice didn't dare to continue thinking down; she only felt something rumbling in her mind, like thousands of thunderclaps exploding at the same time, and like a million war drums beating together.

She felt her heartbeat accelerating, her breathing quickening, and her vision becoming somewhat dark.

Then, she fell backward, landing on the warm earth with her butt. ===== CHAPTER 892 =====
