I'm not a drama god

Chapter 1607 A Brutal Feast

Mocking disasters is not stupid.

It certainly didn't expect these useless creatures to actually defeat the monster, but if... if that monster really was another version of itself, then Mocking Calamity could probably guess that there was only one way to distract it...

However, this time Ghostly Abyss is going to suffer a huge loss.

Under the overwhelming oppressive presence of the Calamity, all the calamities within the Ghostly Abyss trembled, especially the numerous centipedes. Even the eighth-tier centipede venom leader trembled slightly in fear... Then, all their attention fell upon the "pursuer" behind them.

They dared not disobey the king's orders, for they knew all too well the king's methods of torturing insects—methods more terrifying than death itself.

But when they sensed the approaching shadowy figure, they were both taken aback.

Why is it another king's aura?

The beast Mo Zai, rushing towards them, saw the dense swarm of poisonous insects below, and its crimson eyes gleamed with even greater excitement!

The ferocious giant mouth slowly opened, and a long red tongue licked its lips. Like a starving jackal that had finally seen delicious food, it abandoned its escape attempt and rushed towards the many insects below!

For the calamity, there is no food more delicious than poisonous insects. Moreover, the calamity's humanity is inherently weak. Its animalistic nature gives it immense strength, but it also brings an extremely strong physiological instinct to eat. Of course, it wants to catch that exact replica of itself as a toy, but before that, it is simply too hungry.

The calamity led it to the Ghostly Abyss, as if it had been brought to a free buffet. The beast, the calamity, abandoned its pursuit of the toy and instead rushed towards the terrified little snacks below.

Under this extremely violent and world-destroying pressure, the numerous poisonous insects, who were already trembling, became even more terrified. Even the few poisonous heads had no intention of resisting it and fled frantically in all directions!

Venom and flesh flew everywhere in the shattered abyss, and the ferocious laughter of a beastly calamity echoed through the sky...

A brutal and insane feast of slaughter unfolds chaotically in the Abyss of Ghostly Taunts.

……

Several streaks of starlight streaked across the sky, like meteorites piercing through the dark depths of space, falling to the edge of the city.

Wow! A shooting star!

"Make a wish quickly! Make a wish now!"

"I hope the war ends soon, and I hope my sister gets better soon..."

"I hope we won't have to live in temporary shelters anymore. I want to go back to my little home, although... I haven't finished paying off the loan yet, but I guess the bank has probably gone bankrupt, so does that mean I don't have to pay it back?"

"I hope the war and misfortune will end here, and everything will return to how it was before... I miss the days when I was treated like a beast of burden."

"..."

Amidst the ruins of war, figures watched as streaks of light suddenly flashed across the land, and they all made devout wishes. The more turbulent and chaotic the times, the more helpless people need faith, which is the crutch that can support them through despair.

On the other side, as dust silently swirled around them, several figures staggered out, supporting each other.

At the same time, a figure shrouded in starlight swiftly descended before them.

Lu Xun's gaze swept over the crowd, and he paused slightly in surprise:

Where is Director Chen?

Wu Tongyuan and the others exchanged glances and silently lowered their heads.

Lu Xun frowned deeply. He had no idea what had happened in the Gray Realm; he had only received Yang Xiao's signal and immediately used starlight to guide them back… He couldn't help but ask again anxiously:

"Where's Director Chen???"

“Director Chen… didn’t come back.” Wen Ruoshui carried the unconscious Chu Changqing on her back and said bitterly, “He stayed behind to fight those world-destroying calamities in order to cover our retreat.”

Lu Xun stood there, frozen in place.

Wu Tongyuan, Wen Ruoshui, Qi Muyun, the seriously injured Ji Xuan, and the unconscious Chu Changqing... These five people in front of me were all rescued by Chen Ling himself. He single-handedly snatched half of humanity back from the brink of disaster in the Gray Realm.

But in the end... he himself didn't come back?

"After they came out and told me what happened, I wanted to go into the Gray Realm immediately to help Director Chen... but when I was about to go in, the rift had already closed." Yang Xiao was also extremely anxious at this moment. "Old Lu, is there any other way to open the passage to the Gray Realm?"

Every time Yang Xiao detonated an otherworldly wakewave nuclear weapon, it was at Chen Ling's personal instruction. Four to five weapons were the limit of what Zhiming could influence. In the end, Wu Tongyuan and the others completely gave up. This time, Chen Ling directly ordered Yang Xiao to detonate the last four nuclear weapons, leaving himself no way out... Now, Yang Xiao can only hope that there are still some deeply hidden otherworldly wakewave nuclear weapons on Earth, which can give Chen Ling a chance to return.

“There must still be something, right!” Wu Tongyuan looked at Lu Xun as if grasping at a straw. “We’ve gotten this far because of Director Chen… Now that he’s trapped in that dangerous world, we can’t just do nothing… right?”

"Perhaps, some other countries are hiding otherworldly wake missiles? Perhaps... besides missiles, there are other ways to open the rift." Qi Muyun couldn't help but speculate.

Lu Xun's expression was somewhat grim. He took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice:

"I'll go ask again."

After saying that, his figure transformed into a streak of starlight and vanished without a trace.

……

"Dr. Lu, I don't understand what you mean."

In the familiar meeting room, Lu Xun looked at the solemn and wary figures before him and began to explain something:

"I……"

"Weren't all the nuclear weapons launched by you yourselves? If that's the case, you should know that we really have no nuclear weapons stockpile left. Moreover, our advanced equipment is gradually becoming obsolete, and we are no longer able to manufacture new nuclear weapons."

"What about other experiments on otherworldly wakewaves? Perhaps the carrier for activating otherworldly wakewaves doesn't necessarily have to be a nuclear weapon?"

"The equipment failed, and research on extraterrestrial wake waves has also reached a bottleneck. We really have no other choice."

"..."

Lu Xun's continuous questioning only yielded more and more desperate answers. His fists clenched involuntarily, and veins popped out from the back of his hands.

"Any other questions, Dr. Lu?"

"……Gone."

"Then let's adjourn the meeting. You've launched all the nuclear weapons in the world, and the international war situation is completely out of control... If you don't intend to intervene, I think we don't need to hold any more meetings to discuss these topics." A figure spoke slowly.

“Dr. Lu, from now on, we will strip you of all your identity and political rights, and we will no longer provide you with any form of support.”

"I wish you good luck in the future."
