Switching camera.

The chapel’s architecture, the small squad—[Language of Crows (Toad)].

This sandstorm, surged with potent life energy, could completely isolate all perception.

Once the sandstorm had completely abated, the magic crows that were hidden in advance in various buildings of the ruins sent back the sensory information they had gathered to Han Dong at the earliest opportunity.

Live human signals were coming from a common building at the edge of the ruins.

“So we did encounter other participant squads ahead of time. No… wait.” As he slowly collated the signals from the crows, Han Dong’s expression turned ugly.

“What’s wrong?”

“It seems to be not just one team… but two allied teams taking shelter in the ruins from the sandstorm.

The two team leaders are Caucasians, but they’re not from the Holy City; I’ve never seen them before, and their attire doesn’t quite fit a ‘knightly status’.”

Upon hearing this, Abe’s fluffy ears twitched slightly, revealing an uneasy expression, and he spoke in a low voice:

“Engineers from the Capital City – Megalansui? My grandfather mentioned that our Holy City has a decent relationship with Dragon City… but not so much with the capital of the American continent.

The people who live there are a proud bunch of Sam People.

They even once proposed a ‘Human Migration Plan’ to both the Holy City and Dragon City at the same time… suggesting we abandon our main cities and migrate far to America to integrate into their capital.

Unlike our knights and the warriors of Dragon City, the fate power-users of Megalansui all identify as ‘engineers’.”

Han Dong asked out of curiosity, “If we really were to migrate there, could they handle the population issue? Isn’t the population of the Holy City pretty much at capacity right now?”

“They claim that if we are willing to execute the migration plan, space for us to live in will surely be expanded… This way, the entire human strength could be pooled together to reclaim our world in advance.

But of course, the Holy City immediately denied this proposal.

Moreover, the [Technology Tree] developed by the Capital seems to vary from ours.

They have completely forsaken ‘Steam Science’ and have moved into the electrical era… In particular, they condescend upon the steam science we still use.”

“Heh.”

Han Dong chuckled self-deprecatingly.

It seems that the Capital City – Megalansui on the far American continent advances exactly the technology tree from Han Dong’s previous world.

More than that, it’s highly possible that these Americans have entered the electronic information era.

But to Han Dong, that didn’t seem like anything special.

What truly shocked Han Dong was the second city—[City of Steam]—hidden in the construction by the Holy City Nointana, a line of scientific development that Han Dong had never anticipated.

The continuation and development of steam science.

In Han Dong’s eyes, all the scientific achievements displayed in Steam City, such as computational craftsmanship (elaborate difference engines), artificial intelligence, anti-gravity technology, and steam energy with an efficiency that rivaled nuclear power, were inconceivable.

Mr. Newton’s standard of science was definitely not lower than top-level scientists of Han Dong’s previous world.

Han Dong, with his professorial perspective, believed that the developmental paths of science under different technology trees inherently had no superiority or inferiority.

The ocean of knowledge is boundless, and the domain of knowledge mankind controls is but a small island in this ocean.

The extended development of different technology trees is just like the people on the island each building their own boats, setting out from different directions to explore the endless sea… If there is a ‘contempt chain’, Han Dong would only think that the person standing at the other end of the chain is a complete idiot.

Through the hidden crows, Han Dong observed the scale of the two teams.

“One of the squads has a relatively normal composition, with four members who look to be relatively ordinary humans.

The other squad, however, is a bit strange.

The leader is a slightly hunched bald Caucasian guy with a rather terrifying aura, and his members are about 2-3 times the size of a normal person, wrapped in a rubber material that perception cannot penetrate.

Right now, the odd squad led by the bald hunchback is spreading out towards the perimeter, as if they intend to blockade this area of ruins… not planning to let us escape.”

Having said this,

the humidity in the chapel increased significantly.

Lord Maritzis’ intent to kill surged completely due to the unexpected interruption of the battle, and being forced to lead this group of humans to the perilous Fate Space.

Bottling up a bellyful of rage, it erupted in full force at that moment.

“Let me kill them… they are just a bunch of inferior humans.

You following me in participating in the workings of the Fate Space is nothing but a drag on the overall level… I can easily kill these humans.”

Just as she was preparing to fight alone, Han Dong suddenly turned his head.

His eyes fixed in a steely gaze.

Within his fully dilated Demon Eye were several thin, grey tentacles burrowing in and out around the eye socket,

and the speckled pattern of his iris constantly rotating,

Mary saw Han Dong’s true form through the Demon Eye once again, compelling her to calm down.

“[The World of Fate] is not so simple… otherwise, it would not have attracted the attention of the Old Kings.

If a strong individual could just bring along a few weaker ones and get matched with middle-tier opponents, only to sweep them aside, then that matching mechanism would indeed be foolish.

In the raven’s eye network that I have set up, the two teams from the American continent are distinctly not weak and are almost inscrutable.

If we get caught in a pincer attack, we will definitely be at a disadvantage.

To defeat two teams head-on is basically unrealistic…In the end, it might even lead to a total annihilation or a significant number of casualties.

This operation requires Miss Mary to act as the ‘key’ and stay hidden.

Leave the early-stage battle to me and my teammates… Since they have chosen a ‘split’ strategy, with one team blockading the perimeter and only one coming after us,

in a 4V4 situation, we can deal with them head-on.

When the [opportunity] arises, it will be your turn, Miss Mary, to break the balance… If we are lucky, we could seriously injure or even dispose of some of them prematurely.

If we are not, we take the opportunity to escape and make finding the [City of Gods] our primary goal.”

Staring at the image of the Faceless One in the Demon Eye, she held the “Water-avoiding bead” Han Dong had given her.

Mary, proud to be an Ancestor Body, finally let go of her arrogance.

“Hmph… I will begrudgingly follow your plan.

If you can’t beat the opponents, or if I spot a good opportunity to kill the enemy, I will come out myself.”

“Mmm.”

Just then, as Han Dong, who was planning the operation, suddenly widened his eyes in shock,

a golden-haired young man, who was still hundreds of meters away a moment ago, turned into a surge of lightning and ‘blinked’ right in front of the church.

Not giving any time for communication or preparation, an extremely volatile magic power was gathering overhead.

Even Mary, as an Ancestor Body, sensed a hint of danger… indirectly proving Han Dong’s assertion correct: the Fate Space’s matching system was indeed flawless.

This group possessed the strength to combat an ‘Ancestor Body’.

Immediately, Mary submerged herself into her aquatic domain, taking the initiative to hide.

….”Dumps!”

With Han Dong’s loud call,

Dumps had already flipped open his Magic Book at his waist, and initiated the activation of the Defense Magic Array through the Formation drawn on it.

At the same time, Han Dong also propped up his left arm, constructing an absolute defense with Black Sand.

Boom!

Lightning flashed.

The Barrier Dumps had erected was directly torn open by a rift.

The Surge of Lightning collided against the surface of the Black Sand, the head-on clash of magic causing Han Dong’s mummified left arm to smoke continuously, even to the extent of his charred skin tissue dropping to the ground.

Just as the Black Sand Barrier was about to be breached,

a broad figure stood in front of Han Dong, using his dragon-scaled Body to bear the brunt of the lightning.
