Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 119: What is this power? (2)

At the same time the invasion of the High Order was happening, the entire internet of Ashspire City was going crazy.

There were countless media drones flying across the Ashspire City, capturing everything. The majority of people had safely reached the shelters built across the city for protection.

However, the shelters were being breached by High Order members one after another, with countless evolvers of Ashspire City rushing out to protect the ordinary citizens.

The Formation Association wasn’t idle either. Members of the Formation Association took to the sky and landed on the shelters, one by one activating the already prepared array formations.

[This is a disaster! This is exactly like what happened in Nova City months ago!]

[Everyone, I got fresh news! People from the Interwire Company and the Echelon Group have been spotted with members of the High Order!]

[What?!]

[Are you mistaken? How is this possible?!]

[Everyone, do not trust the law enforcers! There are people among them following the High Order! We were attacked by them, but we managed to escape safely!]

[What is happening? Why are the protectors of the city colliding with the High Order? Where is the City Lord?!]

[The City Lord? You might want to see this picture.]

[Cyborg67 posted an image]

Everyone in the livestream chat immediately clicked on the image.

The picture showed the members of the Ardent Family alongside several grey-robed figures attacking citizens, and from the bodies of the dead citizens, streams of faint light were emerging.

Everyone in the livestream went wild. They couldn’t believe their eyes anymore!

[W-What is happening?! My god, is the Ardent Family also colluding with the High Order?!]

[No, this has to be fake!]

There were still some disbelievers.

[How can the City Lord’s family betray us? He’s the protector of our city!]

[They must be possessed! Yeah, that has to be it!]

[Wake up! Look around you! The Interwire Company, some of the law enforcers, and the Ardent Family — they’re all attacking and killing citizens! And they show no signs of possession!]

Some law enforcers were still fighting for the people. Out of all factions, the least who decided to side with the High Order were the law enforcers. The majority of them still had hearts of justice. They would rather die than let the High Order win.

[The entire Ashspire City has been compromised! The City Lord is gone too!]

[Impossible!]

[How can this happen?!]

[Look at the livestream on the top left! It’s Miss Valeria! She’s fighting the High Order members!]

The stream showed Valeria evaporating High Order members with a single attack.

[Powerful! Miss Valeria is powerful! She actually eliminated several of them in one move! Those people wore grey robes — that means they were 2nd Rank!]

Everyone’s eyes were now glued to the livestream showing Valeria.

[Just how powerful is she? Could the rumors about her being at the middle stage be true?]

[What sort of power is she using? Is it the Law of Fire?!]

Valeria took a deep breath as she stared at the city from the sky, her expression grim. Smoke and fire were now rising from all parts of Ashspire City, and the number of people she could send out was limited. She could only find the next High Order member and eliminate them herself.

”The calamity...” She muttered, eyes darkening. ”This is the calamity he was talking about!”

Grey predicted it — and it happened without fail.

Within just a few hours of the secret realm opening, everything had descended into madness.

Exactly as he said.

”Are you safe, Grey?” Valeria’s voice trembled slightly with worry.

Just then, her expression drastically changed.

She sensed a huge influx of energy spreading from all corners of Ashspire City.

This energy — she was extremely familiar with it. Everyone on Blue Star was.

Corruption energy!

She flew higher into the air to observe the situation more closely.

Suddenly, a blazing crimson fireball soared toward her and stopped beside her.

”Miss Valeria.” The voice was grim. It was Werner.

”I sense corruption energy from all over the city!” he said in a heavy tone.

Immediately after, several flashes of red-black lightning shot into the sky, and small black voids began appearing all around the city.

”Corruption Fields!”

[No way! Corruption Fields!]

[Corruption Fields are spawning everywhere! Everyone outside, run to safety!]

[Is this the end of the world?! How can so many Corruption Fields spawn at the same time?!]
