The witch, naive and weak but possessing powerful artifacts, and the disgusting native warrior, made the ntal parasite monster feel that things were absurd. The situation had greatly exceeded its expectations. Through ntal parasitism, it had learned about this world and acquired so special information.
It knew the world harbored special abilities but had not anticipated the existence of even deeper, hidden beings. Initially, it had dominated a rather unique individual and, upon arriving in this world through an Alien Phenonon, believed that opportunity had knocked, although the environnt of this world was subpar.
Its power was reduced to less than one percent of its original strength due to the environnt, but the low level of environntal energy implied that this world lacked significant power. Out of caution, at the very beginning, it had learned about this world through ntal parasitism, which allowed it to experience decades of life in this world within a very short ti.
Among those it parasitized were travelers, military enthusiasts, and mystery lovers, among others. It went from ignorance to complete understanding in less than half a day, and by then, it had realized that this world might not have high levels of power, but it did have enough weapons that could threaten it.
Therefore, it decided to act covertly, accumulating enough power to take over Hazy City in one fell swoop. It devised a ticulous plan of encroachnt and discovered a special monster corpse at the bottom of North Lake. That monster had been dead for a long ti, but it still felt a strong ’residual’ presence from it.
The monster would have been far stronger than it in its own world, even capable of killing it instantly, but ironically, it had perished in a vast lake due to its weight in this world.
After discovering the creature, it attempted to revive and control it. Being from a realm not based on technology, it had learned about the weapons through ntal parasitism and still felt a bit... distrustful of them. But a powerful behemoth was a different matter.
With enough Blood Sacrifice, it could revive it, and the bones of the Skeleton behemoth still retained a considerable amount of Life Force, which was why it judged that type of creature to be very formidable.
As it worked on this, it found that so information had been exposed. It had underestimated the native powers of this world. The original encroachnt plan was discovered by the native forces and was supposed to be regarded at most as the activities of an Evil cult.
However, the native forces reacted faster than expected, and to its annoyance, there were even witches in this world? What the hell...
But it quickly realized where it had been mistaken. With so many Alien Phenona in this world, it seed normal for witches to exist. If it had co to this world through an Alien Phenonon, why couldn’t other beings have done the sa?
This made sense, and its desire to take Hazy City for itself was also driven by discovering the city’s uniqueness and potential. By completely taking over the place and controlling those Alien Phenona... it could gain much more, which fueled its ambitions, was the secret knowledge it had learned from those compromised by the Evil ritual.
That secret knowledge did not pertain to witches or such beings but to the Alien Phenona themselves, giving it a further understanding of the Phenona, and knowing how special it was, realizing that only special beings could normally pass through them.
To control Hazy City, to control those Alien Phenona, was to gain countless exploration and advancent opportunities—it felt as though it had touched the truth of the world!
However, before it could transform that truth into future possibilities, it had so nuisances to clear out, like the witch with her troubleso artifacts. The skull in her possession was most likely acquired from so world through the Alien Phenona, and it could be put to much greater use in its own hands.
In the hands of that witch, it was just a waste.
What’s more, she actually deluded herself into thinking she could use so necromantic skill to pinpoint it? Was she kidding? She thought she could overco it in a psychic struggle just by relying on a superior skull?
For this reason, it set up a trap directly. It initially didn’t intend to use the Skeleton behemoth in North Lake right away; it was waiting for the thing to fully revive, at which point the behemoth’s strength would be enough to bulldoze most forces in this world.
As for super weapons like nuclear arms, although the threat they posed was significant, it honestly wasn’t too afraid of them. Those kinds of things could destroy the body it was using, but not erase its soul. If it got blasted, so be it. What really bothered it was that such a blast would destroy its accumulations, which would be quite troubleso.
It planned to use that trap to Blood Sacrifice all living beings nearby North Lake and then convert them into energy for the behemoth’s resurrection. Afterwards, it would let the behemoth rampage in the lower city district. Once it gained enough sacrificial power, it would completely revive. The difference between a quiet resurrection and a flashy one wasn’t substantial as long as it could obtain the ’Divine Artifact’ from that witch.
However, the trap was obliterated by local forces. It never imagined the locals could muster such exaggerated firepower. No, that’s not right—it’s not that it didn’t anticipate it, but rather there were too many ordinary people among those it ntally parasitized. Their perceptions were just that, clueless about the true power of Hazy City.
And the person who did have knowledge of alien phenona only had a fragnted understanding of Hazy City’s true power. After all, that person was just a lone Alien Phenonon hunter and had access to very limited core information.
The lack of awareness and intelligence allowed the trap prepared for the witch to be thoroughly broken before it could take effect. The Skeleton behemoth, not yet fully revived at its strongest, was directly destroyed. To salvage the loss, it even vastly drew upon the dormant Life Force within the behemoth’s bones as it ca under attack.
The cost of doing so was a drastic reduction in both the potential and overall strength of the behemoth upon its resurrection. It was pained to make such a sacrifice, but it was better than having the behemoth completely obliterated, right? After depleting the behemoth’s dormant Life Force, it did regain so ground, but then the local military forces intensified their efforts.
Upgraded weapons fully destroyed the Skeleton behemoth, scattering its ashes across North Lake. That was downright outrageous, Mador, and it gave it a whole new understanding of the local military might. Ordinary people’s understanding is one thing, but actual combat is a completely different story.
The Skeleton behemoth was destroyed, and the Evil ritual was set ablaze by Zheng Yichen, that local warrior. Never mind the witch, how could that local warrior use Hellfire?
The situation deteriorated uncontrollably from there. It had no choice but to start containing the losses, but that damned witch kept locating it frequently, letting it know there was no way to completely hide. If hiding was impossible, then there was no need for it. Bring it on!
It turned out that facing it directly wasn’t exactly feasible.
When the real local forces swung into action, they were like bandits!
Caught between the wolf in front and the tiger behind, its situation beca utterly dire...
