Sssss—
A breeze blew through the mountains and forests, causing the treetops to shake and rustle in the eternally silent night.
In this eerie and oppressive atmosphere, even the rustling of grass can send chills down one’s spine, as if the plants have co alive with fangs and claws, ready to devour.
As the midnight clock chid, the dull sound echoed in people’s ears like the lant of a mourner for this world.
At this mont, everyone anxiously worried about their surroundings, fearing their companions might vanish into a supernatural event in the next second.
"Ah! A ghost... the ghost is here!"
The first scream shattered the age-old silence, and everyone hearing the sound turned in that direction.
But all that t their eyes was a corpse covered in stinking corpse spots, and fear began to spread in people’s hearts.
The nearest Awakened rushed to the scene at top speed!
But before he arrived.
A second corpse had already appeared.
......
......
Scenes like the one above were occurring intermittently in major cities, and supernatural events that had vanished days earlier were silently reappearing.
Their outbreak scale was astonishing!
Huge numbers of citizens in the city were being dragged into various supernatural events, and Awakened risked their lives to deal with the Fierce Ghosts as quickly as possible!
The official headquarters, upon receiving feedback from various places, discovered a bleak scenario—
"Red robes... still red robes!"
"This ti, no ordinary Fierce Ghosts appeared during the supernatural calamity! The lowest level is the red-clothed Fierce Ghost! Can humanity really resist?"
Director Long looked at the reports with a blank expression, processing the allocation of every Awakened team and the restructuring of resources between major cities at an alarming rate like an emotionless machine.
Deep down inside, he had a strange and indescribable feeling.
The supernatural calamity brought more than just disaster! It must also bring so gifts to humanity!
During the first supernatural calamity, although the human population was greatly reduced, the special group of Awakened erged.
In normal circumstances, it would take millions of years of human evolution to bring about supernatural abilities like Awakened Abilities, but they erged under the calamity of Fierce Ghosts.
Director Long believed that humanity would undergo another transformation now!
Suddenly, his whole body trembled.
Then he slowly raised his right hand, turned the Magic Cube beside him, felt the changes in his Awakened Ability and the symbiotic Fierce Ghost, and whispered with a smile: "Change... is here!"
......
......
Boom——
A not-so-high mountain collapsed with a crash, and a giant hand as large as half a basketball court erged from the earth, supporting the ground as it uprooted its mountainous body!
Its ferocity and overwhelming ominous aura were suffocating.
It looked at Chengyang City in the distance, striding toward it with the crushing stance of a legendary Giant Divine Soldier.
The forests and man-made highways were crushed and destroyed wherever it passed.
If it continued at this rate, reaching Chengyang City and crushing it entirely wouldn’t take long!
But after just ten steps or so, the giant Fierce Ghost suddenly stopped, looking with interest at a small figure approaching rapidly from the city.
With gray-white wings unfurled behind, it drew a graceful arc in the air and instantly appeared in front of it, provocatively beckoning with a finger.
"Roar!"
The newly erged City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost couldn’t accept such insult and roared as it swung its arm at the opponent, with the force of moving mountains and filling seas in every gesture.
However, a Mist Giant Sword, tens of ters long, appeared out of thin air and instantly pressed against its forehead.
In its final mont, it only heard a faint word: "Slash."
Whoosh—
Under the howling wind, its mountainous body split in two, dissipating into the world, leaving only a fist-sized stone core falling to the ground.
Wu Liang, expressionless, waved his hand to summon a wisp of mist that wrapped around the Fierce Ghost core on the ground and brought it before him, not minding at all whether it was a stone as he crunched it in his mouth.
Now, not only the Fierce Ghost Minions could enhance through core fragnts, but Wu Liang himself could also consu them to further strengthen his Spiritual Power and physical attributes!
"Not bad, the initial Fierce Ghosts don’t seem very strong, barely reaching the edge of City-Destroying, and frankly, they feel inferior to the previous Fierce Dragon Ghost," Wu Liang smacked his lips as he slowly flew back into Chengyang City.
After all, at least the previous Fierce Dragon Ghost had a special ability like [Celestial Dew].
This stone giant didn’t seem to have any special features, and no multiple City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts were running amok either.
Currently, the most severe problem remained the nurous red-clothed Fierce Ghosts roaming everywhere!
After all, this wasn’t a battle fought by powerhouses like Wu Liang or Director Long, this was a battle for the survival of all humanity.
These red-clothed Fierce Ghosts posed an irrevocable threat to ordinary people, and based on current estimates, the global population loss was projected to reach billions within seven days according to simulations.
With the support of the Mist Ghosts in Chengyang City, although there was no guarantee that every red-clothed Fierce Ghost would be imdiately obliterated upon erging, at least the pressure on the city’s Awakened was relieved to so extent.
Upon returning to Chengyang City, Wu Liang was about to search for the red-clothed Ghosts the Mist Ghosts hadn’t yet obliterated, when he stumbled upon a peculiar scene.
"Hello, Mr. Reporter! I saw that battle outside the city just now! It was aweso! Wow, a single sword... and such a massive Fierce Ghost was gone!"
Upon reaching a street with the presence of a red-clothed Fierce Ghost, Wu Liang spotted a woman enveloped in intense flas, jumping down from a rooftop to talk.
She was holding a toy that occasionally trembled, apparently the core of an already obliterated Fierce Ghost.
This woman was a familiar face—Fla.
An Awakened with the ability to Fire Elentalize, she was the one Wu Liang had carried into the air during the Dongri Grand Hotel incident and dropped like a teor.
If mory serves, she used to be a mber of Sun Zhoushan’s team.
After hearing her words, Wu Liang approached curiously, and in Fla’s embarrassed, possibly not sure whether from her Awakened Ability or shyness, he touched her hand.
To be precise, he touched the burning flas on her hand.
"Ah! Mr. Reporter, are you okay?" Fla exclaid as she watched Wu Liang directly touch the flas, naturally concerned.
In her worried state, she even forgot Wu Liang had been able to grab her while she was Fire Elentalized during their previous airborne encounter.
After feeling the intensity of the flas, Wu Liang smiled and said, "Has humanity’s gift arrived so quickly this ti? Then there’s no need to worry too much about the safety of other cities for now..."
