Chapter 146: Stay Here, or Follow That Lord?

Leave Kadia.

Aolake, after the titanium Empire's invisibility technology was enhanced a Hundredfold, began to delve deeper into the Eye of Fear.

At the same time, as they kept going deeper inside, the number of cleansed Rebel Forces released along the way kept increasing.

Although the rebel forces had all sworn allegiance to Xisi, even without any reward they would be infinitely loyal to Xisi.

But when they learned how many people they had brought back and what rank they were, the enthusiasm of the cleansed Rebel Forces was instantly sparked.

Moreover, Xisi wasn't letting them profit without effort; he also provided generous conditions that could cleanse the rebel forces' corruption and mutations.

The Imperial Side may find it hard to empathize, but as former Chaos Rebel Army members, they know well the weight of Xisi's words.

Because Subspace treats everyone equally; not only mortals suffer corruption and torment, but even the Astats as well.

So if someone were to appear now and explain, telling these rebel forces that there truly are people who can instantly cleanse their corrupted, mutated bodies, completely freeing them from eternal torment.

The entire Eye of Fear will go mad!

And as for whether such an exaggerated event could be the plot of some evil god, for the rebel forces of the Eye of Fear...

We've already become this messed up, still afraid of being noted by some evil god?!

As long as it can help us cleanse corruption, not to mention whether the other side is truly an evil god; even if not, we'll still worship them as an evil god!

Watching another Yunxuji leave Aolake's invisible position, exposing its shape in Subspace.

Xisi silently withdrew his gaze from the porthole, while watching the invisible position bathed in holy light; Aolake entering the Eye of Fear somehow felt like a leisurely vacation, which seemed unreal.

After all, the Eye of Fear is littered with countless profane, horrifying objects, and there are rebels who, to ease their corruption pain, crazily torment others.

Imperial Troops that entered the Eye of Fear mostly were not annihilated; instead, they were repeatedly shocked by horror and defected to Chaos.

This is also the primary method the Chaos Rebel Army uses to replenish its ranks: Jianqi subtly intervenes, forcing Imperial officials to compel loyal Imperial Troops to embark on a redemption expedition to the Eye of Fear, then, in regiment-sized batches, deliver reinforcements to Chaos.

Therefore, once inside the Eye of Fear, not only is relaxing vigilance forbidden, even glancing out the porthole is not allowed.

Let alone indulging in good food or comforts.

For fear of attracting the various profane, terrifying things within the Eye of Fear.

Now, with a Hundredfold‑enhanced titanium Empire invisible position, plus holy light protection, it's not that Xisi can casually survey the world as if admiring scenery.

Even ordinary crew members in the cabin can soak in hot water by the porthole, enjoying delicacies while admiring the dazzling universe outside, completely unlike the tranquil void.

alright~

This trip really does feel like a vacation.

"Lord, the last batch of rebel legions has also been released; per the agreement, they will gather in three months at the core world of the Eye of Fear."

Fanluosi continues to assemble Imperial Troops outside the Eye of Fear, and Xisi's primary adjutant is temporarily held by Daiweiluo.

It was supposed to be Bunoke, but Bunoke used almost the entire Hundredfold Amplification that Xisi gave him on machine‑gun firepower; as the primary adjutant who must handle a large amount of daily tasks, he still fell short in many respects.

Xisi, hearing this, withdrew his gaze from the brilliance outside the porthole, and faced Daiweiluo's questioning look about what to do for the next three months. Xisi thought seriously for a while, realized there was really nothing to do, and could only exhale, completely relaxing.

"For these three months, just wander around the Eye of Fear, look around, and give a beating to everyone along the way..."

"Take a vacation."

Not to mention Daiweiluo's speechless reaction upon hearing about vacationing in the Eye of Fear.

And not to mention how Fanluosi, busy on one side arguing with the star‑sector government for supplies while constantly accepting Imperial Troops rushing to respond to Xisi, was so swamped that his feet barely touched the ground.

In the Eye of Fear, which had seen little change for tens of thousands of years, a current began to stir.

It's unclear what methods these cleansed rebel forces used; not only did the subsequent reinforcements that entered Chaos cause agitation, but even the truly ancient veterans, who had taken part in Helusu's grand birthday celebration and even fired at the Original Body of the Imperial Fist, Rogdoen, resurfaced from certain corners of the Eye of Fear.

However, in Xisi's imagination, the grand scene of everyone rushing en masse to the gathering point never materialized; although the Eye of Fear was extremely restless, almost all Chaos rebel forces were merely observing.

Having been tormented by Abadon's endless ancient wars, these ancient legions simply lacked the strength to continue the struggle.

If Xisi hadn't offered such tempting conditions, they would rather lie in their corners, silently enduring pain and waiting for death.

Thus, even when they emerge, they only observe on one side while frantically gathering information.

At this moment, a certain world within the Eye of Fear.

The domain of the Mechanical Church, the entire world is covered by endless poisonous factories.

From Xiulun, even the spirit tribe's pirates are transporting mortal slaves to the surface ship by ship.

Then, dragging the Mechanical Church within the Eye of Fear, they rely on Subspace laws to forge various poisonous creations, which then return to the real universe.

Besides the usual hustle, in a certain trading hub of this world.

Not only are there noisy trades between pirates and war gangs, but in the few taverns, the traitors enjoy the limited conventional entertainment of the Eye of Fear.

Without the bloodshed and filth, this place has also become a central hub for information exchange.

Inside the tavern, the noise was boisterous; the relatively humane rebel forces drank themselves into a stupor, then leaned on the table, perching their ears to listen to the low murmurs around them.

And almost all the conversations revolved around the suddenly announced cleansing of corruption.

Until the tavern doors opened again, and a tall figure shrouded in black robes stepped inside.

The crowd glanced, and the previously noisy chatter instantly fell silent.

The Eye of Fear is said to be neither small nor large, but in this tavern it feels both not small and not large.

So that when a fresh face just appeared, it immediately drew everyone's attention.

When the figure scanned the room, then walked to the bar, and under everyone's gaze revealed his face.

Then the entire tavern instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Who is that! Isn't that Heilu, the one the mortals drove away?"

An Astat pointed at Heilu and laughed; although Heilu wore a veil covering his face, the Astat—far superior to mortals—recognised him at a glance.

Then a group lowered their guard, and in the restless, inexplicable atmosphere, seemed to finally find a place to vent.

A group laughed at Heilu, while Heilu, using the eyes behind his veil, silently surveyed these former comrades whose faces were almost unrecognizable.

And then...

Heilu swiftly removed the robe that concealed his body.

Heilu's upper body was exposed, his body wearing no armor, and was laid bare before the crowd that a moment ago had been mocking him.

Why a moment ago?

Because when everyone saw Heilu's body miraculously return to normal, their breath stopped in an instant!

And Heilu stared at the crowd whose breathing had frozen, said no further words, and silently counted the people before him, tallying how many more he needed to become a Battalion Commander.

Under the crowd's wide, corrupted gazes, he lifted his head and looked down:

"You will stay here and continue to rot."

"Or follow me......"

"to follow that master!"
