Confusion was a dangerous weapon.
On a small scale, it didn't an much at all, but when infecting a crowd, it spread like wildfire.
The ntal confusion of Heaven's Army and the Nox started at the very outer edge of the battlefield where the 3rd classes fought. Out at that distance, the Nox were already mindless, so the effect of the confusion was far less pronounced.
Universe denizens turned on each other for seemingly no reason at all, but with them fighting anything that was around them, the battlefield was turned into a fierce lee with no sides whatsoever.
This lee was what spread to the inner portions of the battlefield.
Within half an hour of the heavenly vine's blooming, there wasn't a single sane person remaining on the ground.
Everyone from the earliest stages of 3rd class to the middle stages of 4th class turned crazed and clashed.
BOOOOOM!
The atmosphere exploded countless tis under the fierce collisions taking place. Several 4th class beings, both denizen and Nox, rose into the sky and continued their fights away from the rest of the battlefield, not because they didn't want to hurt others, but because they had more space to maneuver.
These 4th classes used the height of their law comprehension to fight, holding nothing back at all.
Little did they know that their presence in the sky only aided the spread of the infection. As the scent coming from their bodies perated the air, it was absorbed by the heavenly vine and redistributed among the flower spaces on its stem.
At that point, the situation saw a second change, not any better for either side.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Originally, there were less than a hundred enclosed flower spaces, each holding more than twenty people. However, suddenly, the vine seed to bloom into sothing different, sprouting several hundred flowers that were even larger than the originals.
The original flowers were consud by these larger variants, and the total number of peak existences trapped within the flowers drastically increased.
"Dammit! We just got out, now we're back in the sa situation again!" Alexandra exclaid in defeat.
How long had it taken Rilia to carve her way out of the original flower space? Just as they thought they could start helping their comrades, they found themselves trapped by an even larger and stronger flower space.
"Unite…here…kill…enemy…" Rilia muttered.
Alexandra nodded. "You're right. Even if killing is feeding the vine's agenda, we have no choice when it cos to the Nox. It's best for us to unify our side's experts and counterattack faster than the vine can grow!"
In the current flower space, there were a few hundred extre peak masters at the very least, and the split wasn't even.
A majority of those present were enemies.
To rally allies with their current odds and the already disjointed nature of Heaven's Army would be difficult, but they had to try.
Alexandra imdiately put the plan in motion. She rushed to the denizen experts and began explaining the situation to them slowly, allowing them to completely understand how they needed to move from there.
At the sa ti, Rilia charged into the crowd of Nox and began a killing spree.
Unfortunately, the strength of these Nox far exceeded the strength of her previous enemies. She wasn't able to rapidly kill them off like she'd done before.
Still, she was an efficient killing machine unlike any other.
Her body moved like a shadow, it was a blur in the light that even the greatest trained eye would barely be able to catch a glimpse of. It wasn't a teleportation skill, nor was it so kind of instant movent. Rather, it seed Rilia had mastered so sort of movent skill that allowed her to move swiftly and elegantly, almost defying the laws of physics the way she ignored gravity.
This speed was her main weapon. The massive sickles she used as weapons were truly envoys from the Death God. Each ti they sliced out, it felt like a soul was reaped. Even those who remained alive could feel their souls losing power under the oppression of those weapons.
Though, there were several hundred Nox present, and it was absolutely impossible for Rilia to hold out alone.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
She zig-zagged through the air to avoid a terrifying array of spikes that threatened to swallow her. Just as she reached the end of her movent path, a mushroom cloud swallowed her whole.
BOOOOM!
A nearby Nox swept his hand through the air, controlling the explosion to deal the greatest amount of damage possible.
Rilia's form went flying through the air, black blood spurting from her lips and chest.
THUD!
She slamd against the flower wall and slid down to the floor.
Ptui!
Her eyes remained indifferent as she spat out the blood pooling in her mouth and stood up again.
There might've been an injury, but she didn't feel pain. She was more than okay to keep fighting.
And luckily…
"Hey! Don't move so recklessly!" An annoyed voice ca from behind.
Alexandra arrived next to Rilia in the next instant, followed by a crowd of Heaven's Army experts.
Rilia's eyes widened.
Alexandra grinned. "I couldn't convince all of them, but the majority are good people. Now that we're all on the sa page, let's fight and kill the enemy so we can survive and save our people!"
Haaaa!
The experts behind Alexandra all nodded solemnly and charged.
A massive clash began, a clash that could easily rip a continent or maybe even an entire world into shreds.
However, this conflict was contained within a single flower space.
If one exited this flower and looked into the hundreds of mirrored spaces in the other flowers on the vine, they'd see similar scenes, however to different extents.
There were so flower spaces where the experts realized what was happening and banded together to defeat the Nox and escape, so where denizens and Nox actually worked together to escape their mutual destruction, and others where the experts simply fell prey to the vine's machinations.
No matter which route they took, it remained an absolute truth that a massive number of experts was dying, a loss that neither side wanted to endure at all.
The current forces in the Void Corridor weren't a joke. If taken back to Eien, they would make up roughly a fourth of the massive universal ring.
If they took so many losses, wouldn't a massive hole be opened in the universe's defense?
Unfortunately, the only people who could possibly care about this fact were either trapped in flower spaces or didn't care at all.
As a matter of fact, the latter opinion was only held by a single person.
The sa person who was currently leading Heaven's Army for the sake of his own personal gain.
That man wasn't even thinking about the universe. His only thought was achieving rit to enter the eyes of his owners in the Bloodlock Clan.
But how could such a stupid person ever be accepted by the Bloodlock Clan?
To be so desperate for recognition, yet to not realize the repercussions of causing such severe losses to the army, why would the Bloodlock Clan accept this kind of narrow-minded fool?
Of course, their clan was built on a foundation of narrow-minded fools, but that didn't need to be said out loud, right?
Nevertheless, the current situation was one that devolved with every second it continued on.
Sothing needed to change.
As soon as possible.
