Netherworld Retrograde

In the room, Li Yelai and the Little Mad King went over every possible scenario and the corresponding countermeasures.

Although the steps had long been decided, they still carefully checked for any omissions.

Afraid that some unexpected situation might occur and let the enemy slip away.

As for the Undercover mission, it was instead the least dangerous.

The other Divine Chosen, for various reasons, didn't dare come themselves and only sent Demon Generals to lead part of their elite forces as support.

So here, barring accidents, this naturally became Li Yelai's one-man show.

The Believers felt nothing but fanaticism toward him; no one would even think to doubt him. Where would any danger come from?

Thus, after confirming there were no other flaws.

Li Yelai changed into a suit and put on the Copper Face.

Under the protection of the Little Mad King, he entered the ark.

He passed the intel on the biological fleet and the two merchant ships to Jing Lin and Yun Yue.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yang Chen and the others, after receiving the report, immediately adjusted their team's strength according to the intel.

Once the Opportunity manifested, Champion Team One would move out.

At the same time, news that the Ninth Generation Champion was entering this operation to seek a chance for promotion would spread, thus luring out the hidden enemies in the dark.

Afterward, following the old rules, the two took turns standing watch at night.

Well-rested, Li Yelai sat on the sofa, watching that tall, slender figure nimbly slip into the covers, instantly relaxing every tense line of her body like a blade returning to its sheath.

She lay on her side, breathing evenly, long hair scattered by the pillow, and even that world-weary, numb, coldly beautiful face had softened quite a bit. She was completely loose and defenseless.

As if the person beside her wasn't a hot-blooded man, but a harmless chunk of rock.

Leaving Li Yelai no choice but to grumble inwardly that he'd somehow become a living bed-warmer again...

...

The next day, accompanied by the Eternal Demon General, Li Yelai, as a Divine Chosen, stepped into the heart of the biological fleet.

He toured the living armory that the Eternal Life Faction was so proud of.

It wasn't a cold display of steel, but an exhibition of weapons where flesh and machinery intertwined.

Warped, pulsating weapon systems exuded an indescribable, sickly-sweet scent as they were arrayed between viscous organic conduits and metal frames that flickered with ghostly green fluorescence.

The inner walls of the main gun barrels were packed with throbbing folds of flesh and glands secreting corrosive mucus. The close-in weapons systems were made of crazily twisting tendon bundles wrapped in countless sharpened metal bones, as if they might break free at any moment to gnaw apart their Prey.

The shells they fired would also carry viruses and plagues, killing off enemy living forces in a short time.

And those incubation nests hanging there like giant insect egg-sacs were the fleet's strikecraft firepower. Once needed, all the fighters within could be released at once.

Those fighters were covered in metallic carapaces, their hulls overgrown with parasitic organisms sporting compound eyes and jointed limbs.

This was the biological technology the Eternal Life Faction took pride in, which they presented to Li Yelai as if offering a treasured prize.

Biotechnology, to some extent, lowered the difficulty of weapon control. Believers from the Eternal Life Faction could master it with ease. As a result, personnel replenishment was extremely fast.

As expected of the Chaos Faction, their foundations were still far too deep.

We've got to find a chance to take this out!

For other Undercover agents, destroying a single Warship—let alone an entire fleet—would be extremely difficult.

But for Li Yelai, it wasn't.

So, after touring the Warship, Li Yelai gave it a very high evaluation, which made the Eternal Life Faction's believers excited beyond measure.

The Blood God Faction, on the other hand, didn't care much about the fleet.

They believed that as Spiritual Ability Users, as long as they could slip through the fleet's firepower net and infiltrate the Warship, they could completely cripple it.

The Eternal Life Faction responded with a cold sneer, saying the fleet had more than enough Spiritual Ability User marines and did not fear infiltration. Without a Warship, were Spiritual Ability Users supposed to just keep floating on the ocean? Waiting to be eaten by Sea Beasts?

And while the Demon Generals of the two Sects argued, the Little Mad King, lurking at Li Yelai's side, had already recorded all sorts of data on the Warship. As long as this intel was sent back to the Giant City, the Giant City would be able to prepare targeted countermeasures against these weapons in advance.

If they wanted to reclaim the oceans, the Forbidden Zone, Sea Beasts, and the Eternal Life Faction were all unavoidable enemies.

At this moment, as Li Yelai stood on the deck listening to the two Sects argue, his gaze inadvertently swept across the distant horizon.

A solitary little reef island, covered in gray-brown vegetation, entered his field of view, looking like a small cluster of reefs.

"Where are we now?" Li Yelai cut off their argument, pointed toward the distant island, and asked, "What island is that?"

The Poisonous Thorn Demon General narrowed his eyes and watched for a moment, then replied respectfully, "My lord, that is not an island, it is..."

Before he could finish, the island in the distance suddenly heaved upward. The vegetation and reefs covering it shook violently, peeling off and sliding into the sea, throwing up massive waves.

What emerged underneath was a smooth, massive carapace, dark and heavy in color like basalt.

Accompanied by a deep humming from beneath the water, like muffled Thunder, that enormous shadow began to rise, churning the sea and forming ring after ring of turbid whirlpools.

Clusters of compound eyes opened, revealing a blood-red glow amidst the churning spray.

It was a gigantic Sea Beast, its appearance close to the sharks Li Yelai had seen in textbooks, with shark teeth so huge they were terrifying. But the rest of its body was indescribably bizarre. The most striking part was its blood-red compound eyes.

As if disturbed by the fleet's arrival, it gave a single leap, burst from the sea, slammed back down with a colossal splash, then rapidly dove.

The enormous waves it raised sent the entire fleet rocking. Bai Ya and the others' expressions shifted slightly as they all drew their weapons.
