Netherworld Retrograde

Before Champion Team One's vanguard was dispatched. Even before the fluctuations of battle were detected.

Several waves of differing origins had already set off from various coasts to the sea.

They had started to participate in the struggle for opportunity ahead of time.

There was a young man holding a scepter, riding a warhorse, walking on waves. Like a solitary ark, yet seemingly commanding thousands of troops and horses.

Where he treaded, fish, shrimps, and even sea beasts turned instantly into desiccated corpses.

There was a man in strange armor, wielding a heavy sword, standing atop a small wooden boat.

Without making any move, merely tapping the sword point, the wooden boat burst forth with cannon-like terrifying kinetic energy, plowing through the sea and raising white waves. Rocks and even obstructing sea beasts were shattered before this pure force torrent.

A bloody path was left on the sea, as if to pave his expedition.

And in another sea area, a man with a pale cloak and an effeminate appearance actually willingly let a gigantic sea beast swallow him, the moment the serrated teeth fell, the horrifying crack of bones was clearly audible.

However, after just a few breaths, the sea beast let out a piercing wail, its immense body began to swell and contort unnaturally, as if some foreign object was growing madly inside. The struggle quickly ceased, the giant beast's gaze scattering.

Finally, the effeminate man emerged intact from the torn flesh on the giant beast's forehead, as if he had become a part of the sea beast.

His upper body remained humanoid, while the lower half completely fused with the sea beast, becoming a half-human, half-beast creature.

He leaned over, calmly looking at the people on the ship.

"Well done, child. Your flesh synthesis technique has always been top-notch."

A middle-aged man on the ship looked at the effeminate man and laughed contentedly.

Then, he brought his offspring aboard the sea beast.

Or rather, the living battleship.

...

"After all, with the Book Holder personally guiding the Ark Chosen Ones, they truly have their own skills." Wei Yang chuckled upon receiving the news: "The Ninth Generation Champion is really not in Giant City anymore?"

"Yes, it's already been confirmed." The walker responded: "But currently, it's uncertain whether he left with Team One's vanguard or proceeded independently for an investigation first. As you know, he is very mobile. Perhaps he evaded our sight."

"It's also possible that he left Giant City long ago to find the opportunity for advancement in the sea." Another walker added: "That's possible too. It truly feels unfamiliar, without the assistance of the Book of Destiny, it's hard to precisely determine their movements."

"Whatever it may be, as long as he heads to the Land of Opportunity, that's enough. Leave the rest to his own curse." Wei Yang asked: "What about those two Rangers?"

"They've already entered the Wilderness." The walker said: "Do we need to eliminate them?"

"Don't create new complications, if they discover us and ignite green flame, believe that Rangers will appear right before us?" Wei Yang remained respectful of the Master of Green Flames' power.

Warning from across time... When you see green flame, Rangers might have already arrived worldwide.

The walkers would not want Rangers to disrupt their plans.

Wei Yang looked to the sky, his gaze passing through the clouds to the Star Sea. And amidst the starlight, a message was left.

'Zi Shu, I shall deflect the disorder and accept the honor of capturing the variable.'

Soon, a reply came from the starlight.

'Good, take care. I too will act according to plan, restoring the trajectory of destiny to its original path. We must not let the future's great hero vanish.'

The future's great hero?

Does it refer to the one decades later who kills the King of the Restricted Zone and breaks the order of the Forbidden Zone?

Or the one who initiates the great counterattack, seizing the Forbidden Zone for the first time?

Or even beyond that...

So, Zi Shu is responsible for this part of destiny, indeed challenging.

In the presence of a variable, ensuring that the parents, even grandparents and great-grandparents of those heroes march along the original destiny paths is necessary.

A slightest error where parents or grandparents fail to meet, unable to produce offspring, would lead to complete failure.

'Rest assured, once the variable dies, no one will be able to interfere anymore.' Wei Yang thought, then stepped into the sea area.

Elsewhere, at Giant City's port, someone withdrew their gaze from the sky.

Looking at the far-off coalition force of Giant City's strongmen and Champion Team One.

Secretly, Rangers' gaze equally swept over the port.

A burly man transporting supplies scanned the corner, the bronze arrow silently resting inside the cargo box.

The right time, the right target... This arrow will surely hit!

Who will be the prominent one?

The burly man... Or perhaps, the disguised Yun Yue thoughts, this time, no matter what, I must kill an Earthwalker!

...

On the other side, the deep sea battlefield, the blood waves surging.

The two Forbidden Zone fleets were already scarred, several ships turned into burning wreckage, slowly sinking, with the decks covered in the grim dead forms of their kin.

Either beheaded by the Blood God Faction boarding, or blown up by plague bombs.

This caused the nobles of the two major Forbidden Zones to curse loudly.

Even when they revealed the news that only they together could unlock the opportunity.

But Lord Di Yun just wouldn't listen! The fleet's attack did not halt in the slightest, couldn't you even consider it?

"Di Yun! We have made it clear, only the combined force of two 'keys' can unlock the opportunity! Are you deaf?!"

"Damn madman! He wants to drain us, finally capturing us like livestock and squeezing out the last bit of value!"

"We cannot retreat any further! The moment is upon us, we cannot miss the opportunity!"

"Hold the line! Regroup, form formation!"

"Di Yun, damn you, don't let me find an opportunity!"

The remaining ships finally gathered, two distinct yet equally eerie forces erupted loudly!

Time seemed forcibly compressed, incoming shells rapidly rusted, aged, and disintegrated in midair. The Bloodsuckers of the Blood God attempting to board, withered muscles and dried skin midway through their charge, even if they miraculously set foot on the deck, they were punched into debris by the ready Forbidden Zone strongmen!

In the other zone, light and energy fell into chaos. Deadly laser beams and plague pus bullets were twisted, refracted, and flew uncontrollably by invisible force fields, even injuring allies accidentally. The Plague Knights riding the waves, along with their warhorses, were slaughtered by the rebounded friendly fire or the inexplicably refracted enemy fire!

Several Forbidden Zone strongmen unleashed terrifying spiritual energy, even mixed with a heart-palpitating divine pressure.

Within the biological battleship's crew bridge, witnessing the elite being thwarted.

Bai Ya, Yu Mian, and other Demon Generals' eyes flashed coldly, their killing intent boiling, preparing to personally tear apart this defensive line.

Several Overlords, dare to be so arrogant?

Next moment, they heard Li Ye's laughter.

Then they saw, Lord Di Yun rise from the main seat, donned the conical hat, and draped the cloak.

"My lord!" The Demon Generals' hearts pounded wildly, their pupils contracting from extreme excitement.

Bai Ya picked up the double maces, Yu Mian raised the slicing blade, the other Demon Generals also picked up their weapons.

And when Li Ye picked up the long spear, an indescribable storm of frenzy swept over the souls of all Demon Generals!

No need for words, a consensus that made their blood rush was reached.

Lord Di Yun will lead them personally, flattening enemy ships! Crushing all obstacles!

What an honor!

However, at that moment, a piercing alarm echoed throughout the fleet.

An untraceable force suddenly appeared in the fleet's divination radar, and it's getting stronger and stronger!

"Warning! Energy reaction! Space structure collapse!"

"A super giant gravity source appeared in the sea area below! Cannot evade!"

Before the voice was finished, the vast battlefield sea area seemed gripped tightly and twisted by an invisible giant hand!

A gigantic, indescribably wide, all-devouring black whirlpool formed right below the fleet!

The raging gravity pulling the biological battleship, countless seawater pouring in!

"Di Yun!" On the distant sea, a Forbidden Zone ship about to be engulfed by the whirlpool's edge, a noble's wanton roar was heard: "I'll wait for you below! Hahaha!"

Amidst the wild laughter, that ship, along with the laughing noble on it, plunged headlong into the vortex leading to unknown abyss!

Is this the opportunity?

Not an island, not a wrecked ship, but an all-devouring giant whirlpool?

This is surprising...

Thus, Li Ye coldly sneered: "Press forward! Leave no one behind!"

The order is the law, Li Ye's will is the fleet's direction!

"By Lord Di Yun's command! Full ship power, overload output!"

"For the Blood God/Father of Plague! For Lord Di Yun, entire army charge!"

Without hesitation, void of fear.

The entire fleet directly crashed into the giant whirlpool!
