139: All troops attack

A Disaster-level Beast Tide was about to erupt in China, and the entire country could be razed to the ground because of it. The Chinese staff members at the Hongning Base City felt a sense of panic rising in their hearts.

Their families were still in the base cities of China; if they died because of this, it was something no one wanted to see.

The staff at Hongning Base City quickly reported the situation, and after passing through layers of reporting, the information reached Hong's ears.

As the highest-ranking member of the Dojo of Limits headquarters in Hongning Base City, this red-haired man in black clothes rare displayed a serious expression as he inquired of the secretary beside him.

“What stage is the Disaster-level Beast Tide currently in?”

The secretary also frowned; though not showing panic, her tone was equally anxious.

“The information currently coming from the Chinese military region is that it is still in the budding stage. Tens of thousands of monsters have gathered in the King-level Monster's nest, most of which are Lord Level and Beast General Level monsters.”

“And most importantly, they have all gathered together within just these past few days. Their behavior is extremely abnormal.”

Hong showed a look of doubt after hearing the secretary's report.

“Gathered together within a few days?”

Reasonably speaking, the more severe a beast tide, the longer its gathering time would be. It's impossible for them all to gather at once because, whether they are humans or monsters, they have an inherent tendency toward laziness. Generally, they would only gather quickly if a high-level monster issued a strong desire to congregate; this move was very abnormal.

“Are there any other abnormal phenomena or information?”

While pondering the reason for the monsters' abnormal behavior, Hong continued to inquire.

“Director-General, according to reports from God of War Martial Artists dispatched by China, most buildings around City No. 023 are thickly wrapped in a substance that looks like oil. Preliminary judgments suggest this material absorbs light and does not reflect it. There are also organisms similar in appearance to mushrooms growing on it, but because there has been no further exploration, we are unsure if they are fungus organisms.”

“Furthermore, there isn't a single monster in the area covered by the material. We have searched through the comparative information in our database and have also failed to find any similar organism.”

Hong closed his eyes, thought for a moment in his mind, then opened them and spoke slowly.

“Since the Great Nirvana Period, all living things have grown rapidly. Some evolved, some mutated; it's not strange for new organisms to appear.”

“However, this might not be like those spirits of grass and wood that can be of great benefit to creatures. Instead, it could be a new species that can repel monsters, or even one that poisons them.”

“If we judge by this logic, it makes sense that those monsters would gather in the King-level Monster's nest because of it. The specific situation can only be verified after samples are collected.”

Hong was truly the number one powerhouse who had been able to take the lead since the Great Nirvana Period; his preliminary judgment was already very close to the truth.

“To be safe, we still need to respond according to the standards of a Disaster-level Beast Tide.”

“Issue a mobilization order to the Gods of War in the War God Palace who currently have no urgent missions. The assembly point will be the Dojo of Limits headquarters in Jiangnan Base City. This time, while this Disaster-level Beast Tide is in its budding stage, we will root out some of the King-level Monsters in City No. 023 and the surrounding cities.”

Hong was very confident in his judgment. He no longer had his initial serious expression and was instead in a state of composure. Even if this truly was the budding stage of a Disaster-level Beast Tide, summoning most of the combat power of the War God Palace would be completely sufficient to remove the hidden danger. However, total eradication would still be difficult; until there was absolute strength to eradicate all monsters on Earth, it was still necessary to allow the monsters space to survive.

Only in this way could a stable balance be maintained, preventing all monsters from uniting to launch a beast tide.

The secretary immediately sent the assembly command to all the Gods of War in the War God Palace. It was the highest-level assembly command; a Disaster-level Beast Tide was no joking matter.

At this moment, members of the War God Palace all over the Earth—whether in Australia, America, India, or the Amazon... all members of the War God Palace, over three thousand Gods of War, immediately showed serious expressions upon receiving this command.

Except for some God of War Martial Artists who were still fighting monsters in the Wilderness Area and could not receive the message immediately, most other Martial Artists had already begun to pack their equipment, preparing to head to Jiangnan Base City.

And the instigator of all this, Qiao Yu, was completely unaware that he had caused such a huge mess this time.

But even if he knew, so what? With Qiao Yu's original strength, he might only stand in the middle or back of the War God Palace, but his official age was only 19. A 19-year-old Invincible War God had enough potential that no God of War would dare to underestimate him. If not for the high level of secrecy the Mount Hua Organization kept regarding Qiao Yu's strength, the abilities he had currently shown would have already caused a massive stir in the War God Palace... After a night of preparation, over a thousand Gods of War from the War God Palace had already gathered at the North Military Region of Jiangnan Base City. The founder of the War God Palace, Hong, as well as Thunder God and the head of the Mount Hua Organization, Jia Yi, were standing in the North Military Region military base, receiving Gods of War from all over the world.

Every God of War was a rare common asset of all humanity and was equally worthy of being treated with respect.

“Report! The Gods of War on the registration list who could come to support have all arrived. 2,112 Gods of War were expected, and 2,112 have arrived. Please issue the next command, sir!”

A man in military uniform reported to Jia Yi, Hong, and Thunder God.

The three nodded to each other. A number of just over two thousand could be said to be the absolute combat power on Earth. If it were just an inland, purely land-based city, it wouldn't be necessary to deploy so many Gods of War to suppress a beast tide.

The reason for summoning such a large number of Gods of War was precisely because City No. 023 was a city near water, and the cities in the surrounding areas also bordered large lakes. If it were simply to wipe out the nests of land-based King-level Monsters, a hundred Gods of War would be enough to handle it.

Most of these thousand-plus Gods of War were mainly needed to guard against monsters in the waters taking the opportunity to replenish their numbers.

Monsters can communicate with each other through special frequencies. When a King-level Monster on land is no match, it will emit special sound waves that can summon all monsters within a hundred-mile radius.

Monsters in the waters would similarly be affected by these sound waves and come to support.

Because humans were not clear about the specific situation of monsters in the waters, a large number of God of War Martial Artists were needed to prevent being surrounded and wiped out by the monsters. That would be a case of the gains not making up for the losses; it would be bad if the monsters weren't suppressed and instead those God of War Martial Artists were killed by them.

“Since everyone has arrived, we can prepare to set out for City No. 023!”

“Martial Artists who have reached the Planetary Level will deal with the flying monsters. The remaining King-level Monsters on land will be led by other Invincible War Gods leading High-Level War Gods to surround and annihilate them together...”
