Catastrophe Containment Facility-Chapter 965 - 956: The Strongest Fortress
At first glance, it looked like an elongated island on the horizon, but as it got closer, it became clear that it was an unimaginably large whale.
Because of its enormous size, the whale’s movements seemed somewhat slow, but in fact, mere moments after its silhouette appeared, its colossal form was right in front of everyone.
Around the whale, which covered the sky, flew rows of winged, six-eyed bizarre fish—these were the Six-eyed Flying Fish.
Those with a phobia of massive objects might faint at the sight of this giant whale.
However, the whale’s state was quite magical; to superpower users, it was an indescribable behemoth, but to ordinary people, it appeared nonexistent, merely felt as a gust of wind as it passed.
While Klauri and his companion tried hard to expand the rift, the whale had flown right before the two rifts, swallowing both the rifts and the space around them into its stomach.
Klauri sneered; this beast was indeed massive, but its intellect wasn’t high.
They were outside the space rift, so what good would biting here do? Besides, wasn’t it afraid of being cut by the space rift?
When the giant whale swam away, Klauri and Lofvis were dumbfounded—the space rift before them had miraculously disappeared.
"Where’s the space rift, my massive space rift?" Lofvis frantically rubbed his few strands of hair.
Klauri didn’t speak but awkwardly gestured in front of himself, unsure of the reality before him.
They exchanged glances, snorted coldly, cursed a few words from the Inner World, and parted ways.
In the gap outside the world, their energy recovery speed was slow, and there were many powerful beings here. To rashly engage another Star Realm God was akin to courting death.
In such an environment, they needed to accumulate energy over time to muster the strength to break through the world barriers and enter the real world.
They were so close to the real world now; all they needed was enough energy to break through. Surely next time, they wouldn’t encounter that whale again.
They plotted without a hitch, but the catastrophe-level beings outside the world barrier thought the same...
...
The whale lazily burped after swallowing the rift, spraying a water column from the lake above its head, creating a splash nearby. The sunlight formed a beautiful rainbow.
On top of the whale, there was a brilliant white glow with a silhouette standing within it. However, due to the glow, it was hard to see clearly.
This silhouette reached out to the sky, and beams of light sprinkled down, touching all life nearby.
Superpower users with injuries saw their wounds heal at a visible rate, while those without injury felt a relaxation, akin to a wellness treatment.
Ordinary people around had their chronic ailments cured by these light beams.
However, Wen Wen’s mouth twitched. He had planned to seize this opportunity for a grand sale of Other Shore Flower Potion, later promoting it as the Foundation’s flagship product in the Superpower World.
But this entity suddenly healed everyone; who would buy his potion now?
Wen Wen merely grumbled a few words, knowing the benefits of these light beams went far beyond mere healing.
The figure then glanced in the direction where Wen Wen was, and the whale turned to leave, disappearing beyond the horizon in moments.
There were dozens of people in that direction; all felt the gaze was fixed on them, but Wen Wen hoped it wasn’t looking at him.
"This thing, it’s really big..." Chu Wei smacked his lips, contemplating how large a grill would be needed to cook it.
Other superpower users exclaimed in surprise, but most, except for some excellent High Order Demon Hunters, were unaware of the whale’s existence.
Wen Wen not only knew what this was, but had even been upon it—the whale’s back was the headquarters of the Hunter Association, Hunter Island.
At some point, Hunter Island began hovering above the entire earth, blocking all catastrophe-level beings and those of higher existence from entering the real world.
Outside the real world, countless catastrophe-level monsters like Klauri and Lofvis were constantly ready to tear space apart and enter reality.
These monsters were either disrupted in their rituals close to completion, leaving them stranded outside, or banished by the Association after being captured.
They posed a massive threat to the real world; without Hunter Island, these monsters would rush into reality, and the entire earth would be overtaken, humans would become slaves to monsters.
Hunter Island can be said to be the most formidable fortress safeguarding the human world.
Perhaps someday, a Sanctuary could replace Hunter Island, but for now, Hunter Island remains the strongest.
The appearance of the Sky Curtain Giant Whale meant Klauri and his companion had no chance of entering the real world again. If they wished to infiltrate in the future, Hunter Island would oversee it.
Overall, although they were frightened at the end, the situation was smooth.
Wen Wen noticed that the New Humans responded excellently under Klauri and Lofvis’s pressure—although scared, they didn’t undergo visceral transformations like typical ordinary humans.
This meant the New Humans possessed strong resistance against contamination from the Inner World, enhancing Wen Wen’s impression of them.
Originally, after such a significant victory, Wen Wen intended for a celebration banquet, but the scare from Klauri and Lofvis left no mood for it, be it for Wen Wen or Tie Xingzhou and the other two.
The two sides quickly completed the turnover, with the Sanctuary’s team departing and leaving the matter to the Hunter Association to handle.
Although the Foundation’s development had become fairly formidable, cleanup was still less professional than the Association’s.
...
Upon returning to the Sanctuary, the first thing Wen Wen did was to count the casualties.
Though Wen Wen was fully prepared this time, many casualties still occurred.
Many literati loved to speak of the feeling of crushing the enemy amid laughter, leading to historically many seemingly miraculous battles.
But in real wars, casualties are inevitable; death and injury are the main themes, where triumphant victories are often forged with corpses.
In this operation targeting the Abyss Eye, twenty-seven Containment Officers died, and nearly a hundred monsters were killed.
Most people bore injuries, though healed by the glow from Hunter Island, otherwise some might have been crippled.
Unluckily, Yan Xiu and the Evil Light Angel were brought into the Sanctuary early by Wen Wen, so their injuries would take time to heal...
