The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 885 - 567: Might of the Void

Southwest battlefield.

This is the area where the United Army and Chaos Forces engage in the fiercest battles.

This place is riddled with numerous Rat Nests, countless underground tunnels weaving and extending beneath the earth, intertwining to form a labyrinthine complexity.

The rat swarms scurry back and forth among these tunnel nests like dense ants.

The underground passage suddenly began to tremble violently.

When the first Crystal Scorpion tore through the rock layers with its massive pincers, the Plague Priest was pouring foul-smelling pus into a cauldron.

A six-meter-long purple-shelled creature crashed into the Sacrificial Altar, its tail stinger flicked forcefully, and the crystal fragments shot out like arrows, piercing through twelve Ratman bodies directly.

No blood flowed from the pierced wounds; instead, violet veins frantically spread upward along the Ratman's blood vessels.

This sudden attack caught all the Ratmen present off guard.

However, this is the underground armory of the rats, belonging to the Plague Clan among the rats.

Among the many Ratmen, a considerable number worship Chaos Evil God, with the majority of them believing in the Plague Monarch.

This allows the Ratmen who believe in the Plague Monarch to form a large-scale rat tribe with a unique and independent social structure and warfare techniques. At the same time, they are also the most loathsome target among the rat community that must be precisely struck.

The Void Creatures that were lured here made this place their first target.

"Plague Engine! Activate the Plague En... ugh!" The scream of the Plague Mage was abruptly cut off by the pincers of a Crystal Beetle. It plunged straight down from a hole in the ceiling, its eight limbs deeply inserted into a dark green structure made of metal scrap.

Accompanied by the piercing sound of crystal growth, purple crystal clusters began to bloom on the surface of those twisted metal constructs.

Plague? In the face of the true Power of the Void, it's as insignificant as dust, feeble like a plague-infected weakling.

The nest of the Plague Clan at the front line was the first to collapse. The foul toxic sacs they threw burst on the surfaces of Void Combat Beasts, only to dissipate as harmless mist on the purple crystal armor.

The rats had never fought against Void Creatures, and didn't even know such entities existed in the world. When their once-reliable plague tactics failed and toxins proved ineffective, the Plague Clan completely lost all capacity for resistance.

When the four-legged Crystal Wolf charged into the rat swarm, each claw mark caused the torn Ratman to convulse and kneel, with tiny crystal buds shooting from their eye sockets.

"Ahhhh! My brain is singing!" The rats, affected by the spiritual assault, went mad, their eyes bursting with eerie purple light, their bodies beginning to crack and take on a tainted purple hue.

The ground suddenly swelled with purplish-black cysts, followed by hundreds of crystalline centipedes burrowing out. Although they were called centipedes, they were indeed a kind of Void Combat Beast, just elongated and centipede-like in shape.

These three-meter long creatures tightly clamped onto the Ratmen with their ring-like mouthparts, and the gnawed wounds instantly solidified into translucent hard lumps.

A modified giant rat attempted to counterattack with a Power Claw, but was nailed to the ground by a Void Power Warrior descending from above with a Prism Long Halberd—the five-meter tall Purple Crystal Structure didn't even lower its head, as the energy pulse from the spear blade melted the giant rat's metal prosthetics into molten iron.

"What are these things?"

"Those purple, sparkling stone things! Demons!"

The inherent spiritual impact of the Void forces every rat daring to resist into madness and chaos.

The timid rats were the first to try to escape, but in the midst of this sudden attack, they were only a minority. More rats became infected during the assault, transforming into Void-infected likenesses.

The battlefield began to gradually collapse.

The bodies of infected Ratmen exploded one after another, and the spattered purple liquid corroded a series of steaming craters.

Void mycelium rapidly spread outward from these corrosion pits, gradually converting all touched rocks into fine crystal particles.

When the last batch of toxic gas grenadiers of the Plague Clan was dragged into the ground crevice by Crystalized Vines, the entire battlefield had already transformed into a continuously expanding field of purple crystal.

Sharp crystal clusters pierced through still-breathing Ratmen, suspending them in mid-air, slowly crystallizing them. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The last surviving fearless Rat Guard formed a tight circle, their sturdy Rat Long Halberds all pointed at the surging purple tide from all directions.

However, they failed to notice the strange flowing light emanating from the rock layers overhead. When three Prism Meteors penetrated the three-hundred-meter thick rock shell, the last resistors of this surprise attack, along with the entire subterranean chamber, were collapsed into the nourishment for Void Crystal Veins.

The purple Void creatures surged unchecked through the rat nest like a tumultuous tide, sweeping over everything like liquified matter.

Ultimately, only a monotonous purple and crystalized Ratmen of various kinds remained here.

The infectious power of the plague, in the face of the Void, appeared as naive and powerless as a rookie soldier.

This scene was fully captured by the Night Watchers observing from the front line.

"Is this what we will have to face in the future?" One of the Night Watchers, witnessing the scene, began to breathe heavily and suppressively, almost gasping for breath. It felt as though an invisible, massive pressure weighed heavily on his heart, with his heart clasped tightly by an invisible, giant hand.

The condition of colleagues nearby also observing was not much better.

Sent to the front line to observe the most dangerous battlefield at this critical moment, the Night Watchers' abilities were beyond doubt.

This meant they had certainly fought and upgraded their Levels in dangerous areas like the Void Pit.

But in those places, all Void Creatures were effectively contained, with sophisticated protective constructs used to suppress them. They had never fully seen the colossal destruction that the Void could bring in a grand-scale war before.

And now, they had finally witnessed it with their own eyes.

The fleeting questions from past conversations and chats dissolved into thin air in this moment. Those doubts about why the Leader was so wary, even fearful, of the Void were completely answered.

Chaos Four Gods? In front of this violent display of Void Power, it now seemed utterly insignificant.

On the frontline, a considerable number of Night Watchers were tasked with watching. They needed to closely monitor the advance of Void Creatures at all times, ready to take action and sever connections before things spiraled out of control.

After all, in this plan to divert misfortune to the east, a slight negligence could lead to self-injury, causing their side to plunge into ceaseless calamity.

Such dramatic battlefield changes have already sparked heated discussions in the communication channels.

...

The advance of the Void Creatures, under the leadership of the Legendary creatures, showed no signs of stopping, continuing to rampage across the Chaos Forces' battlefield.

When the seventh purple crystal comet-like Void creature crashed into the defense line, the Rat Priest finally realized that this was no ordinary raid, but a disaster descending like heavenly punishment.

Hundreds of thousands of Ratman Legion plunged into chaos and turmoil across the burning plains.

In the Rat Clan phalanx, Bronze Tower Shields connected tightly, resembling continuous metal mountains; Plague Incense Burner Monks shook their bells, stirring waves of toxic mist; the flesh constructs, summoned by the power of the Chaos Four Gods and many rat sacrifices, marched side by side in heavy steps.

At this moment, there was no sign of the powerful attacking Barbarian Race, nor flocks of Demons, nor numerous formidable forces under the Chaos Four Gods.

The so-called Chaos Alliance seemed to consist only of rats and the remnants left by the traitors.

Alone, the rats sent their most powerful fighters to the front lines to try to fend off the mad invasion of those purple monsters.

But was it truly effective?
