Chapter 250: Chapter 177: Clear Division of Labor

"Lord Lin Lan! We are always ready to fight for you!"

Under Ed’s leadership, several elite Sun Warriors stood before Lin Lan.

Their eyes were filled with excitement.

Everyone knew that Seagull City had gradually transformed into what it was today because Lord Lin Lan, using some kind of miraculous and exaggerated racial ability, had brought out enough key resources from this perilous and mysterious world.

And today, they had finally earned the qualification to walk side by side with the Ark Leader.

This meant that their strength had been recognized by Lord Lin Lan!

Lin Lan slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the eyes of each warrior.

"I’ll get straight to the point, ahead of you lies the most difficult and treacherous snow storm trial."

He said gravely: "You will face the Empire’s Nightmare Celestial Calamity, face the ultimate truth of the world, only the best warriors can overcome these challenges with me!"

"We will never betray your trust! Lord Lin Lan!"

Jay and several Centurions immediately pounded their right fists onto the position of their hearts, their eyes filled with absolute loyalty and unwavering belief.

Lucia pulled Bai’s hand, bouncing forward.

The next moment, Lin Lan opened his palm, a card covered in snake scales spun incessantly, and under everyone’s awe-struck gaze, a slit shaped like a sinister eye tore open the space.

Phantom-like eerie snowflakes sprayed out from the gap, swirling around the group, faces blurred with blood and flesh flickered across the icy surfaces.

Waiting outside the manor gates, the furrowed brow of the Empire’s Countess suddenly shot up.

At that instant, Margaret felt a chill consume her, she instinctively clutched her chest, looking in shock towards the depths of the manor, this intense sense of foreboding was all too familiar to her!

"A nightmare of the world... A world nightmare that only appears in the Extreme North Abyss..."

She murmured incredulously: "In Ark’s capital, forcibly summoning a disaster-scale Nightmare Celestial Calamity, has Lord Lin Lan gone mad?!"

Even the powerful Empire dared not confront the world nightmare of the Land of the Far North.

The upper echelons could only rely on the Empire’s strongest Raven Duke to guard the borders, relying on extremely cautious methods using lives and large constructs to protect and seal the frontier.

If it weren’t for this hidden threat always dragging on the Dukes’ minds, the new Empire would have crushed the Alliance’s rise in its infancy!

Has the Ark Leader so bluntly revealed the entrance to the ultimate nightmare?

Is Lin Lan truly such a ruthless tyrant, indifferent to human life?

At this moment, whether it was the Square Sanctuary or the Mechanical Prophet, the various oddities of Ark Kingdom finally had answers.

Undoubtedly, Lord Lin Lan had personally mastered a forbidden route, he was a platinum-level navigator!

Margaret shivered, her father had already warned her, in the Prophet’s prophecy, there was a high probability that the Mad Emperor’s will would awaken in Ark Kingdom.

Could it be...

Lord Lin Lan is the Mad Emperor’s...

Margaret swallowed, a strange thought had already taken root within her.

"Ha—"

The Cat Girls basking in the sun in the manor had their tails puffed up.

For the Fes People, the rift created by the Ark Leader exuded an extremely unsettling aura, Molly even relied on her sensing ability to vaguely glimpse the ruins of Seagull City from the snowstorm.

"Lord Lin Lan!"

The gifted songstress suppressed her fear, actively approaching.

"I saw..."

Molly’s ears pressed against her head, her back trembling, her voice tinged with sobs: "I saw the bodies of Senior Lucia and Lady Eleanor!"

Lin Lan raised an eyebrow.

For the inherently sensitive Fes People, who endured the cold gazes of the world, being able to express what they see in ’visions’ was already quite a task.

Daisy was similarly standing behind Molly, followed closely by Mentor Yi Feng and the other young individuals, who struggled against instinctive fear, steadfastly staring at the rift in the air, seemingly wanting to use their abilities to share the burden with the Ark Leader.

The Ark Kingdom had cared for them enough during this time.

What good children they were...

The black cat lying on Lucia’s head, its eyes filled with comfort.

Looking at the worried faces, Lin Lan tried hard to keep a straight face.

At this point, he actually planned to team up with Dr. Tianli, using his undead trait to rob the hometown of the insects, not even letting their mechanical corpses go... Such a sinister plan he couldn’t reveal...

"That’s why I have to change all this myself."

The Ark Leader thought for a moment, reached out, and scratched the chin of the Cat Girl in front of him.

The young man’s face was adorned with a gentle smile: "Leave it to me."

In the eyes of the Fes people, Lin Lan, accompanied by several Sun Warriors, stepped into the entrance of the dungeon without looking back.

"What a lovely little beauty."

Eleanor stepped forward and rubbed Molly’s soft ears, striding quickly to catch up with Lin Lan. Lucia winked triumphantly at her juniors, seemingly wanting to show off, but was pulled into the rift by a bionic maid.

The rift gradually closed, and the eerie wind and snow subsided with it.

·

This time, the Foreigner did not fall into the Hall of Destiny, but instead was directly transported to a new simulation world.

The ’future world’ once again updated in an unknown direction.

The Foreigner is the cheat of Dr. Tianli!

Centered around Lin Lan, chaotic garbled codes spread in all directions, causing space to fluctuate violently, and ripples spread across the ground like sea waves.

Out of the ruins, several intact skyscrapers suddenly appeared, the corpses on the ground disintegrated in the garbled codes, replaced by people holding Ash Soil weapons.

Most importantly, over two hundred well-equipped Sun Warriors guarded Lin Lan’s manor base.

The intact Shattered Star hovered in the sky, and some of the people and Fes students were already protected in the expanded underground space below the base.

Even though they were mentally prepared, looking at Seagull City plunged into the Celestial Calamity, everyone was still shaken to their core.

The snowstorm around Lin Lan was instantly tinged with jet-black color.

"Well, well, well... You bunch of bastards dare to attack my nest..."

Eleanor flapped her black wings, baring her sharp teeth, the savagery in the King of Pirates’ eyes once again being stirred.

"Don’t be impulsive, this world is merely a simulation."

Seeing the Black-winged Calamity Master about to lose her mind, Lin Lan promptly grabbed her arm. Eleanor was momentarily stunned and slightly restrained her expression.

Looking at the mechanical swarm writhing around the city, Ed asked in a deep voice, "Lord Lin Lan, what should we do next?"

"It’s very simple, hold Seagull City, and try to kill those Celestial Calamity swarms as much as possible."

Lin Lan skillfully threw out character cards, and the figures of Captain Ota and Physician Sami instantly appeared in the light.

"Go all out, these people and warriors are all simulated illusions, no one will truly die in this trial."

He paused for a moment, then added: "But you still need to be careful about your own safety, because your casualties will affect my mental state..."

Jay and the others listened attentively, and the warriors were stern of heart, immediately deciding that they would never let Lord Lin Lan suffer any cost!

Ed’s breathing had already become heavy.

This is an extremely crucial real combat session! The warriors will make up for their final shortcomings in this trial!

As expected of the Lord!

"Jay, Glen, there’s no time for us to continue dawdling."

Ed spoke in a deep voice: "Quickly gather your illusion soldiers, maintain Messenger communication, we’ll first clear from the edge of the manor, and then gradually advance outward."

"Understood!" The warriors stood up straight one after another.

Then, Ed turned his gaze toward the Doragon People and the two Giants.

"In this battle, Sami and I will follow your command."

Ota didn’t waste words, taking the Messenger Block handed over by Ed.

"I have no objections either." Eleanor also nodded to the Ark’s army chief commander.

"Lucia, let the others handle the fight."

Lin Lan then looked toward the eager Blond Witch: "Our task is to take Bai and the Fes students to collect the insect corpses as much as possible; these exoskeletons are excellent materials."

"Leave it to me!"

Lucia’s eyes instantly lit up, she put on her goggles, and gave Lin Lan a thumbs-up.
