"The Plague Doomsday can be considered one of the most horrific doomsdays. In the last Doomsday Law War, 24 law holders fought against Him, and none of them came to the Dust World alive."
"And this is just the information I know. The real number of death gods is much greater than this."
"So, Li Cheng, run away quickly, leave that place, and don't continue to wade in this muddy water." The World Tree said slowly: "If you stay there, you will die."
"Um……"
Listening to the words of the World Tree, Li Cheng fell into deep thought.
It seems that the strength of the God of Plague is indeed far beyond his expectations.
But at the same time, this also means that the benefits will be higher than he imagined.
He looked at his system bar. [Regeneration and Retrospection] could still be used, and the law points on him should be enough for resurrection.
In that case, you can try to kill Him.
If you can't deal with him, then just go back in time.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng took a deep breath, his expression solemn, and said righteously: "Old man, how could I not know what you said?"
"I am not afraid of death."
"But I can't retreat from this battle."
"If I retreat, what will happen to the countless lives in this City of Law?"
"What about this law of salvation against the end of the world?"
He was so immersed in the role that he acted like a savior and almost deceived himself.
"..." The World Tree was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "But even if you go, it may not necessarily prevent the advent of misfortune. Maybe it will just cause more casualties."
"Even so, I will do it." Li Cheng said loudly: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope and I can save all living beings, I will not give up."
"You know what, little guy?" World Tree raised his voice, "You have great talent. If you keep a low profile, you may be able to change everything in the future."
"But if I retreat now, I'm not sure I'll have the courage to face the end of the world in the future." Li Cheng still shook his head.
“You are so stubborn! What a pity, what a pity… Well, I will help you one more time. Although, it probably won’t be of much use.” The World Tree sighed.
A brass clock also appeared above Li Cheng's head.
The clock spun, leaving a power deep in his soul.
It’s finally here... Li Cheng’s mouth corners curled up slightly, and then immediately returned to normal.
Everything he had just done was to get some help from the World Tree.
"Hey, Li Cheng, even if I give you this power, you may not be able to survive. So cherish it while you can." The World Tree sighed again:
"Well, time has come. Good luck, little one."
"Thank you for your help."
The call ended. Far away at the bottom of the dusty world, in the darkness where countless roots were entangled, a faint white light flickered.
The kind smile on an old woman's face slowly faded.
The servant standing by her side brought a cup of tea and said, "Grandma, what's the matter? Weren't you quite happy a while ago? Who made you angry?"
"Nothing, just a little sad." The old woman took the tea, looked at her own reflection in it, and shook her head:
"In these long years, I have already forgotten how many geniuses have died in the apocalypse."
"Now, there's going to be one more of them, and such a young one at that."
"Grandma..." The servant's eyes trembled, and a layer of mist was floating above them: "Is there really no chance at all?"
"No, no..." The old woman shook her head: "Well, there is nothing to be sad about. Leaving now is no different from leaving later. No one can escape this doomsday. No one can escape it."
"Okay, help me make an appointment with Lao Wang and the others. We'll meet at the mahjong hall. Damn it, I have to win back all the money I lost before!"
"Yes..." The servant's mouth twitched.
………………
"I see. You can pause perceived time for a second? Although it's not as powerful as stopping real time, it is indeed a powerful force."
On the other side, Li Cheng examined the gift left for him by the World Tree.
Now, he possesses a total of three powers related to the law of time.
They are teleportation, triple speed, and the "pseudo time stop" that pauses the perceived time.
"Plague Doomsday, interesting. Let me see how difficult this BOSS is to kill."
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the window.
Li Cheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lilith the cat scratching at the window frame and hitting it with her claws.
It seems to be saying "I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"
Li Cheng: …
He opened the window unhappily and let the stupid cat in: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you couldn't come?"
"Hehe, what if I hadn't come and you died there?" Lilith Cat jumped on his head and said, "Let me tell you, little Li Cheng, I am now extremely strong!"
Li Cheng: …
The God of Fraud, who was sitting opposite Li Cheng, trembled in his eyes and muttered to himself: "It's so strong... No, it can't be."
Lilith: ...
"In short, I am no longer the same as before!" Lilith pulled Li Cheng's hair and transmitted the power she had just gained to him.
After hearing this, Li Cheng's eyes lit up: "Are you opening the full map vision?"
"Uh, that's about right." Lilith scratched her head.
"Awesome, awesome! No wonder you were acting weird just now. It turns out you upgraded your administrator privileges." Li Cheng gave her a thumbs up. "I was worried about you just now, but it seems I was overthinking."
Worried about me... Lilith blushed and stammered: "You, what are you worried about me..."
"Just... wait!" Li Cheng had just said two sentences when he spread his wings in an instant, covering Lilith and the God of Fraud.
The next moment, a green light pierced through the sky and went straight into the carriage.
With a loud bang, the carriage suddenly exploded.
Li Cheng also fell from the shattered wreckage, with a big hole pierced through his wings and green flames burning above it.
"Li Cheng, are you okay?"
"It's okay! What about you guys?"
As he spoke, he adjusted his body in mid-air.
"I'm fine too. Thank you, teacher." The God of Fraud, who was held in his arms, looked solemn. She jumped out of Li Cheng's arms, and two huge bone wings stretched out from behind:
"This attack is directed at us."
"Yes, and it is the power of Plague Doomsday." Lilith floated beside Li Cheng, placing her cat's paws on his wings.
The soft golden light flowed, extinguishing the dark green flame.
Li Cheng looked at the ground, his eyes gradually becoming serious: "This is not an inspection station, it's not as simple as being contaminated."
The Inspectorate of the Plague Apocalypse is located in the fortress city of Avalon, 400 kilometers away from the City of Law.
And now, this fortress city has been swallowed up by the dark green color.
Buildings collapsed with a loud bang, raging flames were blinding, screams and cries were deafening, and the air was filled with the smell of death, like hell on earth.
At the entrance of the alley, a young child who had lost his parents was crying loudly. The next moment, dark green liquid secreted from the bodies of his parents in front of him and swallowed him up.
He lay on the ground, twitching constantly, his body gradually growing bigger, his skin festering, his eyes falling out, and he turned into a monster like a bat. Then he soared into the sky, raised his butcher knife towards the rest of the people,
Such tragedies happened countless times at the same time.
Li Cheng finally understood why no one responded to his calls along the way.
The fortress city of Avalon fell in just one hour.
And in this city, there are two elite troops composed of fourth-order demigods...
It fell too fast, too fast, so fast that it was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Zizizi, zizizi." A noise came from the communication device on the waist: "Is this Lord Li Cheng? We are the city defense force sent by Her Majesty Silili. We have arrived at the outskirts of Avalon. Where are you?"
"Outskirts?" Li Cheng turned his head to look at the sky, and sure enough, he saw a row of small black dots in the distance, which were slowly getting bigger.
"Be careful, Li Cheng, the second wave of attack is coming!" At this moment, golden light flashed in Lilith's eyes, and she closed her cat claws to share her vision with Li Cheng.
"This is..." Li Cheng's eyes trembled, and he shouted at the communication device: "Everyone evade! Use all the tricks to save your life, this is an order!"
next second.
A dazzling dark green light pierced through the sky and swept towards the dark shadow in the distance.
The light passed through the tall buildings and crossed the sky.
In an instant, the tall buildings were broken into dust and the sky was scorched and smelled burnt.
Until the light has disappeared.
The loud rumbling sound like a dragon's roar finally reached Li Cheng's ears.
The violent explosion spread out from the city defense forces, completely annihilating the western city area of Avalon into dust.
The shock wave caused by the violent impact forced Li Cheng to spread his wings and retreat with the God of Fraud to relieve the force.
"This, this is the power of doomsday..." The God of Fraud muttered to himself as he watched the devastating blow.
"Hello, can you hear me? City defense forces, report the situation!" Li Cheng held the rune stone and kept communicating.
But the only response he got was a "sizzling" sound.
After contacting several times, Li Cheng had to give up.
"It seems that our support has been completely cut off..." Lilith Cat rubbed her face: "Damn it, how did this Plague Doomsday enter the Kingdom of Savior? Even if they used the observation of the Supervisory Office, it is impossible for the entire city to fall so quickly, right?"
"Don't think about those things for now. What we need to consider now is where the Supervision Office is." Li Cheng felt a headache.
According to the original plan, the city defense forces would be responsible for intelligence and supplies, and clear the road to the Supervisory Office.
Li Cheng and Xiao Jue were responsible for going deep into the Supervisory Office, finding the plague's doomsday, and expelling them.
But now, the city defense army was completely wiped out.
Li Cheng couldn't even find a map of the city, let alone where the Supervisory Office was.
"What the World Tree said is correct. This is indeed a dungeon of Hell difficulty."
“Damn it, so many elite soldiers…” Lilith clenched her fists, feeling extremely sad and angry: “All of them were wiped out in one strike. That bastard Plague Doomsday.”
"It's not just those elite troops, but also this city..." The God of Deception took deep breaths and controlled his anger: "So many lives, so many innocent people... This is not a war at all, this is a massacre."
Li Cheng didn't say anything, but just looked at this purgatory on earth, feeling a surge of compassion in his heart.
It’s not good if this CG is too realistic, as the sense of immersion is too strong.
"Master Li Cheng, can you hear me?"
At this moment, the communication rune suddenly rang.
"Hmm? I can hear you!" Li Cheng quickly raised the talisman stone: "How are you? What are the casualties?"
"Great! We've got in touch! Hello, Master Li Cheng, I'm Katarina!" Intermittent communication came from the Rune Stone:
"The casualties are probably around 10%. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise, we would have been completely wiped out."
"Only 10% casualties? Phew, it's a blessing in disguise." Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, Catalina, why are you contacting me? Where is the general who led the team before?"
"Well... the general who led the team, the commander of the first regiment of the city defense army, Mr. Eighth-rank Demigod Long Kalestek, died heroically in the battle just now." Katarina's voice was slightly choked with sobs:
"Because he tried his best to block the ray, we were able to survive the attack with only 10% casualties."
"Huh..." Li Cheng let out a long breath: "Where are you now?"
"We have moved to the underground passage in the West City District and established a temporary command post. I will send you the coordinates now."
Holding the coordinates, Li Cheng looked at the fog in the distance again.
The green light before was emitted from the fog.
Through Lilith's eyes, he saw the huge monster that was hidden in the fog.
"Let's go to the headquarters."
…………
"Lord Li Cheng."
As soon as we entered the command center, Catalina came up. Her attire was completely different from before. She was wearing black, angular heavy armor and carrying a cylindrical device on her back, whose purpose was unknown. She exuded a murderous aura.
"General Long and his deputy were both killed in the attack just now. I am the highest-ranking officer in this action team, so I will be responsible for connecting with you next."
"Okay." Li Cheng walked straight to the back of the corridor without any greetings. "Take me to the command center. I need all the information about the Supervision Office, its personnel structure, the location of all its agencies, and a map of its interior."
"I understand. All these are ready." Catalina followed behind Li Cheng and suddenly stopped.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Cheng turned his head.
"Master Li Cheng, huh..." Catalina took a deep breath: "Although it is inappropriate to say this now, I still want to tell you."
"You said."
"General Lon Kalistek is a brave warrior."
"Of course I know that."
"No, what I want to say is that he had a chance to escape just now." Catalina said almost word by word: "He was the first to hear the evasion order you issued. With his speed, he could have moved away before the attack arrived."
"Hmm..." Li Cheng's throat moved.
"But... General Long chose to face the attack." Catalina raised her head, her eyes as cold as death: "Because if he dodged, all of us would die."
"You are right." Li Cheng closed his eyes: "General Long is a brave soldier. We will never forget him."
"Thank you, Lord Li Cheng." Catalina stepped forward: "General Long's last words were - 'This is a necessary sacrifice.'"
"And for us, what comes next is also a necessary sacrifice."
The next second, she stood on tiptoe and pecked Li Cheng lightly on the face.
Then, he took a step back under Li Cheng's surprised gaze.
Several warriors wearing specially made heavy armor like her walked out from the shadows.
"Lord Li Cheng." Catalina and the others knelt on one knee: "We will be responsible for clearing the way for you and ensure that you can preserve all your strength before meeting the clone of Plague Doomsday."
"You want to..." The word "cannon fodder" flashed through Li Cheng's mind unconsciously.
His breathing also became difficult.
"Yes, we are the price, the necessary price." Catalina raised her head and smiled: "In order to drive that damn doomsday out of this world, we are willing to pay everything." (End of this chapter)
