428: Chapter 428 The Changing Situation

Hua Liuli smiled: "Yes, it worked! Thanks to everyone."

Chen Yi turned to look at her and praised, "What are you saying? Without your Myriad Kaleidoscope, we couldn't have reached all those places so quickly! You're the one who deserves the most credit!"

Hua Liuli shook her head: "This is what I should do! After all, this world is also my home."

When she said this, her eyes were somewhat complex.

As the array eye of the Space-Time Rift, her connection to this world was far deeper than that of ordinary people.

Although monsters would descend endlessly because of her.

But essentially, she was also a creature of this world and a part of it.

If this world were destroyed, she would also suffer heavy damage and might even perish.

Regardless of the reason, she definitely would not let this world perish.

Chen Yi smiled at this moment: "Don't worry, Hua Liuli, I will protect this world, and I will also... protect you!"

This sentence made Hua Liuli's heart race again.

What exactly did this Chen Yi mean?

She lowered her head to hide the blush on her face.

"Yes... I believe you."

Just then, Emilia walked out from the Blood Shadow Gate.

Her condition also didn't look very good.

After all, in the previous battle with the Demon Dragon, much of her power had been drained.

She still hadn't recovered yet.

"All targets cleared!"

"All 107 major nuclear missile silos globally have been stopped!"

"But according to my senses, the aura of the world malice has not disappeared! He just retreated temporarily, and I can feel that his power seems even stronger than before!"

Chen Yi's brows furrowed tightly.

"Stronger? What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure either! But I can feel that he is... absorbing something, though I'm not entirely clear on what."

This statement made everyone's hearts sink.

What exactly is the world malice?

I'm afraid no one can give an answer at the moment.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Space-Time Rift.

In a space entirely composed of darkness, the figure of the Demon Dragon Man re-formed.

His state looked more solid than before, and dark power surged around him, forming countless twisted faces.

Those were the faces of the assimilated, and they seemed to be emitting painful roars.

"Chen Yi... Hua Liuli... Emilia..."

"You stopped this time! But next time... will you still be able to stop it?"

"Humans... your hearts are filled with darkness! And this darkness is my most delicious food!"

"Keep struggling, keep fighting, keep... creating more despair!"

"For every person who dies, for every bit of despair added, for every point of hatred increased... my power will grow stronger by one point!"

"Until one day, I will be so powerful that even the world's will cannot stop me."

"By then... this world will return to chaos!"

"And you, all living beings... will all become a part of me."

"Next time... let's play something more interesting."

The Demon Dragon Man pressed his mark against the void.

The mark merged into the space and disappeared.

And he, too, turned back into darkness and dissipated into the void.

Only a whisper echoed in the darkness.

"The game... has only just begun!"

In just one afternoon, the whole world was in an uproar.

The incident involving the attacks on nuclear missile silos triggered an unprecedented tsunami of public opinion globally.

Governments of various countries tried to block the news.

But in the internet age, this level of sudden event could not possibly be completely covered up.

Especially since the survivor of the Eagle Country nuclear missile command headquarters—Commander-in-Chief Hunter—held a world-shocking press conference after simply treating his wounds!

At the press conference, Hunter had a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his right eye, his military uniform was tattered, and bloodstains from the battle remained on his face.

Looking at him, one could tell how terrifying the attack that happened in the afternoon was!

"At 3:47 PM this afternoon, the Eagle Country nuclear missile command headquarters suffered the most serious internal rebellion in history!"

"Over twenty senior officers and hundreds of spirit beasts suddenly went crazy without warning, attempting to seize control of the nuclear missiles to carry out indiscriminate strikes on major cities globally!"

"We resisted with our lives, and in the end, we managed to prevent it from happening!"

Everyone at the scene gasped.

If the nuclear missiles had really been launched indiscriminately, human civilization would likely have truly ended!

It would have been even more terrifying than the descent of monsters!

"Was it the Demon Abyss Cult?"

A reporter asked eagerly.

Hunter was silent for a full five seconds, then shook his head slowly: "No! At least... not entirely."

"The state of those mutineers was very strange, as if... they were controlled by something."

"But they still had their own memories, could still speak, and could still think; it was just that their thinking was completely twisted."

The reporter asked further: "Then what happened? Was the rebellion suppressed?"

"Yes."

Hunter nodded, "Just when we were about to be completely wiped out, someone... saved us!"

"Who?"

Hunter closed his eyes: "Someone from the Purification Faction of the Demon Abyss Cult, the one previously rumored on the internet... Emilia, the woman who stays with Chen Yi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was in an uproar!

The reporters almost jumped out of their seats!

"Are you saying... someone from the Demon Abyss Cult saved you?"

"How is this possible?"

"Could it be a conspiracy?"

Hunter sighed and continued: "I know this sounds absurd, but that is the fact! From the moment she appeared to the moment she killed all the mutineers, the whole process took less than ten seconds!"

"She didn't speak, didn't explain, and disappeared after doing everything! But she did indeed save Eagle Country, and she saved the world!"

"This point, even if we don't know what her purpose is, is indeed a fact!"

This interview footage also spread completely across the internet.

[Eagle Country Nuclear Rebellion!]

[Demon Abyss Cult Saves the World!]

[Is the Demon Abyss Cult Friend or Foe?]

These topics instantly surged to the global hot search list.

Meanwhile, surveillance footage from other nuclear missile silos was also leaked by some insiders.

Among them, the identities of quite a few Contracted Spirit Beasts were dug up by netizens.

"That silver-haired girl is Lilian! Chen Yi's Contracted Spirit Beast!"

"The one in the white kimono is Shi Yuying! Also Chen Yi's Contracted Spirit Beast!"

"The black and white twins are Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong! Chen Yi bought them at the Black Ghost Market auction!"

"The pink-haired twin-tails... is Su Taotao! I'm still her fan, I haven't even taken off my fan badge yet!"

"Isn't that woman in the black gothic dress Black Rose? An SS-rank Rose Flower Dragon; Gu Fan even argued with Chen Yi over her before. It seems she's already Chen Yi's contract object!"

At this point, the entire internet was completely dumbfounded!

What exactly is going on?

Why would Chen Yi's contract objects appear here?
