unlike the scenes during Mars OL and Venus OL, these Fallen Ones aren’t gathered in camps, but rather in small towns and cities with a touch of retro charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the towns, Fallen Ones live peacefully, like ordinary humans, surrounded by the bustle of everyday life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the largest city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man with a powerful aura stares at the virtual interface suddenly popping up in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows are tightly knit, his expression somewhat displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another batch of annoying invaders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans, in his mouth, have become invaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and all his countless Fallen One kin have descended upon this planet for nearly a hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the middle-aged man, a handsome, oddly sinister young man speaks up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, I volunteer to lead the army and wipe out the intruders!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man thumps his chest confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man remains silent, watching the youth for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son’s Unlimited Value has already reached 9%, an unrivaled genius among the planet’s younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even compared to himself, a Lord, he’s only a mere 1% behind in Unlimited Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you trust my abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man speaks again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man considers for a moment, then finally nods in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll give you a million troops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your target this time is

soon as tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Sea outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the ocean, like stars, islands of all sizes scatter around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On every island, variously sized towns and cities can be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the towns, Fallen Ones are everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin’s figure appears above a small island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks down at the island below, frowning slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only thirty thousand troops?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rest, hundreds of thousands, are just ordinary civilians?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin had descended upon several small islands, and the situation was always much the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On each island, Fallen Ones live peacefully, only a handful of troops stationed around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin, of course, isn’t interested in the ’peaceful’ Fallen One civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just disappointed that tens of thousands of troops offer him far too little reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even a mosquito’s meat is still meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin shakes his head with a sigh, then lifts his hand and points remotely at the island below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire island suddenly trembles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inspired by Nangong Linglong’s fusion attribute abilities, Yu Jin has started trying different combo skills with his attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activates both ’Dark Shock’ and ’Earth Surge’ attributes simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result is—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble rumble rumble—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid earthquake tremors, the earth splits apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scorching magma from the seabed, guided by ’Earth Surge’, bursts through the land straight into the Celestial Vault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire island is instantly engulfed by magma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams echo across the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of Fallen One troops, not even able to see clearly who their enemy is, are instantly transformed into statues within the magma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also turned to stone are the hundreds of thousands of Fallen One civilians on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your divine might

only glances briefly and chooses to check his balance directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wasteland Source Points: 280 million]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harvest from several small islands: nearly 200

toward deeper islands in the Black Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Northern Continent, frontier town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passes slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, a whole day has passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena stands at the shore, gazing into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Don Flack and Ah Long stand respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even farther back, a whole team of ten thousand Unlimiters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fallen Ones’ attack still hasn’t come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena’s brows knit tightly as she softly murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to info from the wounded veteran players—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their team had been attacked by a Fallen One army barely half a day after landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire day has gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only hasn’t the army approached, there hasn’t even been a shadow of a Fallen One...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Athena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be the Fallen Ones are assembling their army, planning a single decisive strike?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don Flack offers a bold guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena nods, she suspects the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s wait a bit longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While we’re waiting for the Fallen Ones’ assault, send more squads to search along the coastline...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See if we can find any information related to Yu Jin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this round of Wasteland OL, Athena’s real concern is still that man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Central Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian stands suspended in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura radiates unobstructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Unlimited Value at 9%, he’s the second most Powerful Being on the planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Powerful Being is his father, the planet leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A million troops are in position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just give the order and we’ll lead the way for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, a million-strong Fallen One army stands motionless, stretching as far as the eye can see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the head of the army, a uniformed officer respectfully reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian laughs heartily in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, very good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s been looking forward to this day for so, so long!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to sparring with weak contemporaries on Central Island, what he really wants is to toy with those human invaders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d heard from previous generals leading the expeditions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d always deliberately timed their assaults to the seven-day limit, letting the humans think they had a chance to hold out, then crushing their hopes in the final moment with overwhelming Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of game, sounds so damn fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deploy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian gives a light command, then turns into a streak of black light, streaking across the distant ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A million troops soar into the sky, closely following Damian’s lead into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This expedition, for maximum enjoyment, Damian purposely didn’t use the stationed troops on the outer islands of the Black Sea, pulling only a million from Central Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Sea, outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin looks down at the islands below, tinged red with fire and swirling with countless ashes, rubbing his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tenth one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is already the tenth Fallen One island he’s destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, not a single Fallen One army has come to cause him trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do these Fallen Ones not even have any way to communicate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or is it that these troops stationed on the outer islands are really just left to roam free?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that shouldn’t be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human camp players have landed, Wasteland OL rules should’ve sent a prompt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin’s expression turns troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vast Black Sea is enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his two million Value, it’s still hard to cover it all in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he’s making such a spectacle out of destroying island after island is to lure the snake out of its hole—ideally, to draw out the main Fallen One army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, it’s far easier for Yu Jin to wipe them all out in one go and maximize his gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess I’ll keep going deeper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin shakes his head, sighs softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanishes from his spot, heading into the deeper sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the deeper sea, Damian is charging in with a million Fallen One troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the outskirts, at the frontier town,
