220: Initiate the Abyss Investigation!

Capital City, Spiritual Energy General Bureau Command Center.

On the massive screen wall, high-definition footage transmitted from the front lines in Shanyin City was being displayed on split screens.

The left screen showed the post-battle scene of the various "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons" defense lines on the outskirts of Shanyin City.

The charred and shattered earth was soaked in thick, dark red blood that was almost ankle-deep.

Severed limbs, shattered internal organs, twisted bone armor fragments...

It was as if they had been crushed and splattered by an invisible, immense force, covering every inch of land.

In some places, one could even see...

the remains of Demonic Evils that had been instantly carbonized by high temperatures, still maintaining their expressions of terror or charging postures from before their deaths.

The intense smell of blood and burnt matter seemed to permeate through the screen.

The entire battlefield was like a living Hell soaked in blood and death.

"Oh my god, this is too tragic..." a young female technician covered her mouth, her face pale, her voice trembling.

"Look at the ground over there, it's completely soaked through with blood. How many Demonic Evils must have died to cause this?" another staff officer pointed at a pool of blood on the screen, his voice dry.

"This year's 'Night Parade of a Hundred Demons' is too abnormal. The scale, intensity, and the level of berserkness of the Demonic Evils far exceed any previous records!" a senior Special Agent said in a heavy tone.

"If it weren't for Special Commissioner Chen arriving in time, these defense lines would likely have..."

The person didn't finish, but everyone understood the consequence—total annihilation, with Shanyin City on the brink of destruction!

"Thank goodness! Truly thank goodness! Having Special Commissioner Chen there!"

"Indeed, if it weren't for him, Shanyin City would probably be a scorched earth by now!"

Inside the command center, there was a chorus of lingering fear, relief, and heartfelt gratitude.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the image on the right side of the main screen.

That was a close-up of the depths of the Guyin Mountain Range, transmitted via satellite overhead view and frontline drones.

One could see that the originally undulating mountain ranges now appeared as if a large area had been forcefully leveled by an invisible giant hand.

This formed a shocking, massive sunken area with a diameter exceeding several kilometers.

At the center of the depression was a terrifying giant crater, a hundred meters deep, with mirror-smooth edges and walls that had eerily turned to glass!

Around the giant crater, the earth looked as if it had been plowed, covered in spiderweb-like cracks and overturned scorched soil.

Further away, several mountain peaks were severed at the waist, the cross-sections so smooth they were heart-stopping.

In the entire area, not a trace of green could be seen, only dead, charred blackness and wreckage.

Unlike the bloody Hell on the left screen.

This place was filled with a residual, pure, and destructive power that made the Soul tremble.

"What kind of collision of power could cause such a scene?" a high-ranking official muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.

"The mountains leveled... the earth melted... Is this really something human power can achieve?"

"Look at that crater; energy readings show that the temperature at the bottom is still terrifyingly high, and the residual energy fluctuations are ridiculously strong!"

"Even just the residual energy has already exceeded the measurement limit of our instruments..."

"Special Commissioner Chen, what a terrifying scene he must have faced at that time!"

Shock! Horror! And a kind of awe that surpassed understanding spread through the command center.

Although they had long known that Special Commissioner Chen possessed the power to slay gods.

But seeing these world-destroying battle ruins with their own eyes.

The visual impact and spiritual shock were truly impossible to suppress!

"As expected of the power of an Evil God, as expected of Special Commissioner Chen; even just the aftermath of the battle can cause such terrifying destruction."

"However, no matter how powerful the Evil God is, it's completely no match for Special Commissioner Chen!"

"Indeed, although the Evil God was powerful, from its arrival to its disappearance, I'm afraid it wasn't even ten minutes!"

"Crushing! This is a complete and utter crushing!"

"What Realm has Special Commissioner Chen's strength actually reached? This is no longer power within the human category!"

Relief, shock, adoration, pride...

All sorts of emotions were intertwined in everyone's hearts.

The previously sudden outbreak of Evil God-level energy fluctuations of terrifying intensity in Shanyin City.

Had made the hearts of the entire top brass of the General Bureau jump into their throats.

Even though they had almost blind faith in Chen Nian.

But facing the arrival of an Evil God stronger than the previous one, it would be a lie to say they weren't worried.

However, reality once again proved that their worries were superfluous.

Special Commissioner Chen not only won, but he won so cleanly, so decisively, and with such overwhelming force!

He even had the spare energy to charge directly into the Evil God's lair and wipe it out along with its nest!

This strength, this sense of responsibility, filled everyone in the know with an indescribable sense of peace and pride.

With him here, the Dragon Kingdom has no worries!

Just as the atmosphere in the command center was fervent, and everyone was excited about yet another crisis being resolved.

The General Director of the Spiritual Energy Bureau, Director General Li Zhenguo, slowly raised his hand.

The entire hall instantly quieted down, and everyone's gaze focused on this supreme commander of the Dragon Kingdom's Spiritual Energy Bureau.

Director General Li Zhenguo's expression was calm, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful, echoing throughout the command center:

"comrades, the moment for celebration may not have arrived yet."

His words caused the atmosphere, which had just eased slightly, to become heavy again.

Director General Li Zhenguo's gaze swept across the room and finally landed on the image of the hideous spatial rift on the large screen.

"Before leaving, Special Commissioner Chen transmitted the latest news through the Shanyin City branch."

"The Evil God that descended this time may not be an isolated case."

"Behind it, there may be even more Evil Gods!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately erupted in an uproar.

"What?!"

"There are more Evil Gods?!"

"Oh my god! One Evil God was already so much trouble, and there are actually more?!"

For a moment, the scene was filled with gasps and exclamations!

The nerves that had just relaxed instantly tightened again!

The threat of one Evil God was enough to shake the entire nation.

Now, they were actually told that there were even more, stronger existences lurking in the shadows, watching covetously?

This news was like a bolt from the blue, crashing heavily into everyone's hearts!

Director General Li Zhenguo took in everyone's reactions.

He slammed his hand on the console, his voice suddenly raised, carrying unquestionable determination:

"Silence!"

The powerful aura instantly quelled the scene.

Director General Li Zhenguo stood up, his gaze like a torch, scanning every high-ranking official and staff member:

"Although Evil Gods are very powerful, we must absolutely not be intimidated by them because of that."

"Special Commissioner Chen has already cleared the obstacles before us and severely damaged the vanguard of the Abyss."

"Next, it is our turn to step onto the stage!"

Director General Li Zhenguo's voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the command center:

"Effective immediately, launch the highest-level 'Abyss Investigation' contingency plan! Security clearance: Top Secret!"

"Establish a special task force for the 'Abyss Incident'!"

"Utilize all available resources!"

"The Spiritual Energy General Bureau, the military, the Academy of Sciences, all intelligence networks... everyone, get moving for me!"

"First, fully analyze all residual energy samples and spatial coordinate data from the Evil God! At all costs, we must find a way to track and locate the remaining Evil Gods!"

"Second, nationwide, raise the alert level to the highest! Closely monitor all abnormal spatial fluctuations and energy accumulation phenomena! Especially areas where large-scale supernatural events have occurred in history or where space is weak!"

"Third, conduct a thorough internal investigation! Deeply dig into any clues or lurking forces that might be related to the 'Abyss'! Better to investigate wrongly than to let one slip through!"

"Fourth, fully upgrade logistics and support guarantees! Ensure that Special Commissioner Chen can receive the fastest and strongest support at any time and any place!"

"Everyone!"

Director General Li Zhenguo's gaze swept over every solemn and determined face:

"This is a war concerning the fate of the nation! The enemy is hidden in the shadows, powerful and eerie!"

"But we have no retreat! And we need no retreat!"

"Because before us, we have a sea stabilizing divine needle like Special Commissioner Chen!"

"And behind him, we have our entire Dragon Kingdom as the strongest backing!"

"Now, tell me, do you have the confidence to fight this battle well?!"

Upon hearing this, all personnel in the command center straightened their bodies and roared with all their might:

"Yes!!!"

The sound was deafening, filled with determination and conviction!

"Good!" Director General Li Zhenguo nodded heavily, "To your stations, execute the orders!"

"Yes!"

The order was given, and the entire massive war machine of the Spiritual Energy General Bureau began to operate with unprecedented efficiency!

A tense atmosphere of a coming storm permeated the command center.

But this time, the tension carried an unprecedented firmness and determination.

Because they knew they were not fighting alone.

That man, like a God of War, had already cleaved through the darkest mist for them.

And all they had to do was give their all.

To pave the way for him, clear the obstacles, until those Evil Gods hiding in the Abyss are uprooted!
