122: Under attack

After absorbing the Goblin World, the Abyss became even more powerful.

Even Ye Chen could feel that space was more stable, and various laws were stronger and more complete.

Ye Chen clearly noticed that the transcendent power within him had also undergone a transformation, and the power of shadow and Darkness became even more effortless to use.

Under the feedback of the Abyss, his transcendent power had reached the level of Tier 4.

Looking at this situation, if he could absorb a few more worlds, he might even be able to directly ascend to godhood through the feedback.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen became even more eager for the unconquered worlds.

These past few days, the Element World had sent back a Tier 6 Firebird and a Tier 6 Fire Lion, which Ye Chen revived and handed over to the Demon Dragon to lead.

As the Demon Dragon's team grew larger, their harvests would also increase.

If it weren't for the huge disparity in strength, Ye Chen would have wanted them to challenge Tier 7 overlord-level creatures.

Meanwhile, the Sachi World continued its steady encroachment under the leadership of the Archbishop.

To speed up the progress of the invasion, Ye Chen successively dispatched more personnel, hoping to bring this world under control soon.

The gains from Dragon Island were not much; most of the creatures polluted by Cthulhu-like Monster had mutated, causing considerable trouble for the Human Nations.

The Human Nations also dispatched some armies to deal with them, and they successfully eliminated most of the polluted creatures with their powerful strength.

However, they were somewhat unable to cope with the bizarre Cthulhu-like Monster; as soon as they met, countless soldiers immediately turned against them, turning their blades on their comrades.

It was even faster than zombie infection.

The remaining soldiers also suffered; some developed countless strange organs and limbs on their bodies, and their minds became chaotic.

A small number of unpolluted soldiers, facing the betrayal of their comrades and the surging monsters, quickly collapsed, ultimately leading to the annihilation of their entire army.

This battle made the Cthulhu-like Monster completely famous; now, its legends circulated throughout all Human Nations.

In the Doomsday World, Beelzebub advanced steadily, his corruption domain expanding wildly like cancer cells, and his own strength also improving by leaps and bounds.

Currently, Beelzebub has reached the peak of Tier 4, with the potential to step into Tier 5 at any time.

His corrupted fly-worms were also rapidly developing and expanding, having now explored and occupied a small half of the Doomsday World.

Of course, during their development, they also encountered many Cthulhu-like Monster.

These monsters had various abilities; some with slightly weaker abilities were directly slain by the corrupted fly-worms and sacrificed back to the Abyss.

Some were powerful and caused heavy casualties to the fly-worms, forcing them to give up.

There were also some very strange monsters; although their lethality was not strong, they possessed various bizarre abilities that left the fly-worms helpless.

They had to abandon killing them and mark those areas.

Seeing Beelzebub safe and sound, Ye Chen also felt relieved.

Although the Doomsday World was on the verge of destruction, its danger was even higher than that of Dragon Island.

The Cthulhu-like Monster born within it all had very strange abilities; if Beelzebub were to be contaminated by some troublesome ability, Ye Chen would have no tears to cry.

After all, it was his first Kin, and also a late-game hero capable of infinitely stacking attributes, so he had considerable expectations for him.

After checking the situation of the various worlds, Ye Chen withdrew from the Abyss.

His luck these past few days had not been good; the Vanguard Team had gained nothing.

The few worlds currently at hand were too powerful to be completely conquered for now.

Although Ye Chen was anxious to become a god, he could only suppress his inner impatience for now and wait for the worlds to make breakthrough progress.

…

Upon returning to the current world, Ye Chen keenly sensed an anomaly.

With his Tier 4 strength and deep understanding of Darkness power, he detected a faint, unfamiliar aura of Darkness in his home, as if an invisible pair of eyes were secretly observing him.

He tried to expel this aura, but unexpectedly startled the hidden individual.

A black shadow suddenly appeared, and a dagger glowing with a faint green light thrust directly towards Ye Chen.

This figure was dressed in black, enveloped in a layer of black mist, making it difficult to discern clearly.

Ye Chen's heart suddenly jumped; how could an enemy have entered his home?

If he hadn't just broken through, he probably wouldn't have discovered this person, and he might have lost his life inexplicably, just like those goblins in the Goblin World.

Seeing the enemy's fierce attack, Ye Chen did not act carelessly and immediately wanted to Enter the Shadows World.

Space fluctuated for a moment, but Ye Chen's figure remained in place.

Skill failed? No, this space was sealed!

Clearly, the person in black was well-prepared.

However, what puzzled Ye Chen was that if they truly intended to kill him, it would have been a matter of one strike; why go to the trouble of sealing the space?

With the time spent sealing the space, he could have been cut into a thousand pieces long ago.

Since they didn't want to kill him, what was this person's purpose?

Unfortunately, there was no time for him to ponder; the black-clad person's dagger was already before his eyes.

“Shadow Barrier”

A phantom barrier appeared in front of Ye Chen, attempting to block the attack.

The person in black paid no mind to the barrier; with a gentle poke of the dagger, he pierced through it.

“Shadow Flash”

At the critical moment, Ye Chen still used his life-saving skill.

His figure flickered, appearing behind the person in black, with a short blade in his hand.

This was a weapon he had prepared after awakening his transcendent power, an ordinary short blade.

“Shadow Ambush”

Ye Chen held the short blade and slashed at the enemy with extreme speed.

The short blade turned into afterimages, enveloping the entire body of the person in black.

The person in black let out a soft gasp, clearly surprised by Ye Chen's numerous techniques.

His dagger precisely parried each blade shadow, and at the same time, his finger subtly touched a ring on his hand.

A needle-thin dart flew directly from the ring, shooting towards Ye Chen's neck.

Ye Chen, unaware of the danger, only felt a numbness in his neck, followed by a wave of dizziness, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The person in black directly hoisted Ye Chen from the ground and walked out of the house.

As he stepped out of the house, another woman in a revealing leather outfit emerged from the void.

The woman was clearly with the person in black; seeing him carrying someone out, she quickly said:

“Mission accomplished? Hurry, the Federation's dogs are on our tail.”

With that, the woman pulled out a spherical device, pressed a button, and threw it to the ground.

The device emitted an invisible fluctuation, distorting the surrounding space.

Immediately after, the person in black slashed his finger through space, tearing open an opening.

A huge black Night Raven emerged from the space, obediently standing before the two.

The two placed Ye Chen on the Night Raven's back and climbed on themselves.

Then, the Night Raven spread its wings and directly Enter the Shadows into space.

Ten seconds later, several people in combat suits appeared there.

Feeling the spatial fluctuations, their expressions were extremely grim.

They were still a step too late.

A young man picked up the spherical device on the ground and examined it.

“Captain, it's a spatial liberator. It seems this was their target.”

The captain paused slightly at the words and instructed:

“Investigate the owner of this house to see who they are, that it was worth Night Raven taking such a great risk to infiltrate the Federation's heartland.”
