Infinite Professions-Chapter 42 - 38: Evil God

"This...!?"

Zhong Qin’s complexion changed as she looked up towards the sky. But before she could focus on the dark swirling vortex, Shen Hex pulled her back.

"Don’t look, hurry up!"

Shen Hex pulled Zhong Qin back, Gang Qi surged within him, spreading his Bird Form Body Technique, heading toward the dormitory district without lifting his head.

An attack, a terrorist attack!

The major colleges in Tianbei City are collectively located in the academy district, the safest place aside from the municipal center, generally free from danger.

But now the situation is anything but normal. The attackers aren’t the criminal forces from the lower city district or fierce and exotic beasts from outside the city, but the Evil God Sect.

The Evil God Sect!

Apart from the Human Empire, there are many prosperous and powerful civilizations in the cosmos, and terrifying unknown beings, some of which even the Empire’s Ultimate Professionals cannot rival.

These terrifying beings are not only powerful but also bizarre and insane, entities beyond ordinary understanding, wielding incomprehensible powers, collectively termed as Cosmic Evil Gods by the Human Empire and various cosmic civilizations.

These Evil Gods are extremely powerful, their names and forms possess incredible powers, so much so that many followers worship them, or are their offspring, descendants, favored race, forming various Evil God Sects.

The Human Empire is no exception. Many fallen ones have embraced the Evil Gods, opposed the Empire, and humanity, orchestrating numerous horrific atrocities, causing severe casualties in the Empire.

Therefore, the Evil God Sect has always been the Empire’s target of severe suppression. But those mad cultists are like cockroaches, resilient to extermination, never fearing the Empire’s deterrence. As long as their master needs it, they dare to launch a terrorist attack anywhere, including Earth, the mother planet of the Empire.

As a marginally colonized planet, Yunlan Star has been deeply harmed by the Evil God Sect for hundreds of years, frequently experiencing terrorist incidents resulting in significant casualties and property damage.

Although these incidents generally occur in marginal cities and the lower city district, the well-guarded Upper City District with many High-tier Professionals rarely suffers, but this doesn’t mean the Upper City District is absolutely safe.

As the saying goes, when the silence breaks, it shocks the world.

Those cultists are mad, but mad doesn’t mean stupid. They rarely attack the Upper City District because they also know it’s heavily guarded, posing extremely high risks, possibly facing suppression.

But if they’re willing to take such a risk, even willing to be destroyed alongside their target, only one thing can be concluded: their master, the terrifying Cosmic Evil God, has given an order or even descended power to personally partake in this terror attack.

Otherwise, it can’t be explained where those cultists found the audacity to attack the heavily guarded high school campuses.

Thinking of this, Shen Hex became more anxious, exerting Gang Qi to its limit, using the Eagle Form Technique with Zhong Qin, speeding towards the dormitory district like a roc.

Though Yunlan Star is a marginal planet, it’s not unprotected by the Empire, nor exposed directly at the border. Otherwise, it wouldn’t survive a few days before being wiped out by the Evil God’s Favored Race.

The Empire’s method for developing colony planets is to first designate a Star Realm, then dispatch several Ultimate Professionals and the Imperial Guard Legion to establish the Empire’s ultimate defense circle around the realm, finally developing the planets within the circle.

Therefore, Yunlan Star, although marginal, is not at the border. Outside, there’s a defensive line established by Ultimate Professionals and the Imperial Guard Army, resisting the invasion of Cosmic Evil Gods and their favored races.

As long as the front defensive line doesn’t collapse, the Cosmic Evil Gods cannot descend upon the rear Yunlan Star.

But...

The power of the Cosmic Evil Gods is too formidable, with some possessing incomprehensible superpowers and dominions, allowing them, under sect response, to bypass the front defense line and project part of their power to rear planets, creating offspring or avatars.

It seems to be the case now; the Evil God Sect on Yunlan Star, somehow channeling part of the Evil God’s power, attacks Tianbei Second Middle School.

How much is this part, what can it create—Son of God or Evil God Avatar?

Shen Hex doesn’t know, nor has the leisure to think. His only action now is to reach the dormitory district as quickly as possible.

The dormitory district is the safe zone, unless truly incapable, the academy’s senior staff will definitely protect the safe zone with all their might.

Just as Shen Hex and Zhong Qin rushed ahead...

"Boom!"

In the sky, there was thunder and lightning, the dark spatial vortex twisted violently, and within it appeared an erect eyeball overflowing with endless frenzy and madness, bloodthirst and greed, watching the humans fleeing across the school.

Then...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Muted explosions burst forth, and the erect eyeball spewed black fluid like artillery shells into the campus, blooming everywhere like flowers but these were dark purple flesh-blood flowers, with numerous twisted creatures crawling out, attacking the fleeing masses.

"Ah!!!"

Besides that, some people screamed out, having stared at the vortex in the sky for too long, even facing its erected eyeball, causing horrific body mutations.

At this moment...

"Monsters!"

A vehement shout accompanied sword Qi soaring to the sky, a hundred-zhang long Celestial Essence Sword Gang burst forth, cleaving into the dark vortex.

"It’s the principal?"

"The principal has acted!"

"Tier Six Cultivation Profession—Celestial Essence Sword Cultivator!"

"To hell with Tier Six, run for your life!"

"..."

The hundred-zhang sword gang ascended towards the heavens, slicing into the dark vortex, fiercely clashing with the Evil God’s eye, slightly halting its filthy blood spurt.

But only slightly halted, even in front of this Evil God Avatar, Sixth-rank Professionals were beyond their limit.

"Roar!!"

At this moment, a dragon roar arose. A Cyan Dragon emerged furiously, although not as gigantic as the hundred-zhang Celestial Essence Sword Gang, its form was dozens of zhang, roaring and darting within the campus, destroying everything in its path, numerous Evil God’s Followers exploding into ash.

"It’s Teacher Teng!"

"He actually transformed into a Cyan Dragon."

"Worthy of the Xingyi Martial Sect... Wait for me, dammit!"

Teng Qinglong transformed into a dragon, activating defense mechanisms in the campus, numerous High-tier Professionals entered the battlefield, along with mechanical armor, laser turrets, various technological weapons pouring firepower, bombarding the rampant Evil God Followers within the campus.

Shen Hex, however, paid no attention to the world outside his window, ignoring those Ultimate Professionals showcasing their skills, leading Zhong Qin headed towards the dormitory district, finally arriving at its front.

But suddenly...

"Splash!"

A mass of filthy blood fell from the sky, exploding upon landing, instantly forming a dark purple near-black flesh blood flower, with numerous terrifying-faced, twisted-bodied Evil God Followers flying out from within.
