Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 406 The US Suffers, Rainforest Covers Cities

The moment the stargate appeared above the "New Hope Barrier" and poured down a dark green mist.

“Woo-woo-woo-woo!!”

The highest-level magical alarm blared through the sky, instantly drowning out all other sounds in the city.

"Warning! An unknown high-energy reaction has appeared over the city center!"

"Energy analysis...does not belong to any known siren!"

"Intense spatial fluctuations indicate ultra-long-range teleportation!"

Inside the command headquarters, amidst the chaos, an elderly man with white hair and beard, clad in a forbidden spell mage's robe—Commander Horns—shoved aside the staff officers who had surrounded him and rushed to the giant magic water mirror.

Looking at the churning, dark green mist that exuded an ominous life force.

His voice resounded throughout the city through the amplification array:

"Activate the highest level of defense! All combat units, take your positions!"

On the streets, squads of mages dressed in standard mage robes, led by officers, quickly rushed to their designated defensive positions.

Ordinary citizens, guided by emergency evacuation orders, rushed in panic toward underground shelters.

Cries, shoving, and alarm sirens mingled together.

The first batch of fastest-reacting battle mages have already taken to the air.

They watched the ever-spreading green mist and quickly made their judgment based on experience.

"...It's the power of plant-based demons!" a high-level mage shouted.

"Plant-type? Hmph, then purify them with flames!" another fire-type super-rank mage roared, and he and more than a dozen companions beside him attacked at the same time.

"Heavenly Flame Funeral - Thousand Dragons Scorching!"

"Hellfire Coral!"

In an instant, dozens of incredibly powerful super-tier fire magic spells soared into the air!

A scorching fire dragon, rolling lava fireballs, and a blazing white orb of light like a miniature sun...

Forming a destructive fiery curtain, it crashed violently into the descending dark green mist!

However, faced with the oncoming fiery attack, the dark green mist began to churn violently.

From the depths of the mist came a dense, chilling sound, like millions of insects gnawing at each other at the same time!

Immediately afterward, the mist did not retreat in the face of the oncoming flames.

Instead, a stream of green acid rain, emitting a pungent, sour smell, poured down from it!
“Shhhhhhhhhhh!”

This is not ordinary acid rain!

A violent reaction occurred the instant the flames came into contact with the acid rain.

The lava fireball was enveloped by acid rain, and its surface quickly solidified and turned black, just like lava that had been forcibly cooled, greatly reducing its power.

This green acid rain not only has an extremely low temperature, but also contains powerful energy neutralization and material corrosive properties, perfectly suppressing the raging flames!
Even more terrifying is the impact of acid rain falling and the flames being extinguished.

The dark green mist, now free of obstruction, spread rapidly, like ink dropped into clear water, quickly enveloping large areas of the city's airspace.

Only then did people realize with horror that the mist itself was actually a giant culture dish of living sporangia and insect eggs!
Under the "cover" of acid rain, countless tiny plant spores emitting a faint green glow, as well as insect-type demon eggs as fine as dust yet tenacious in their vitality, fell evenly across this steel city like invisible dust with the wind and rain.

The disaster truly began the moment it hit the ground.

When spores come into contact with any surface, whether it's cold metal armor, hard cement ground, or even the bodies of living creatures that don't have time to escape, they immediately germinate and grow wildly, as if injected with super growth hormones!
"Crack... Crack... Boom!"

The resilient, living magic vines coiled around the towering magic tower like giant pythons, and the metal tower began to deform and collapse amidst a teeth-grinding twisting sound.

Corrosive ghost flowers bloomed in the streets, their huge petals opening and closing as if they were alive, spewing out poisonous powder with a psychedelic effect.

The strangling tree's roots easily tore through the reinforced foundation, and its massive trunk overturned the magic tower...

Almost in the blink of an eye, this "New Hope Barrier," representing the culmination of human industrial and magical civilization, was covered and swallowed up by a wildly growing, twisted, and dangerous primeval jungle!
Steel and vines intertwine, and eerie flowers bloom on the mechanical wreckage, creating a visually striking and despairing scene.

And in the middle of this suddenly appearing urban jungle.

The largest of these trees, an ancient cannibalistic emperor tree with a trunk covered in ferocious patterns resembling human faces, is rising from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its height even exceeds that of the tallest building in the city!

Its branches, which resembled giant pythons, swayed slowly, emanating a suffocating, imperial aura!

It is the core of this green catastrophe, which was thrown here by the Heart of the Jungle as an anchor point for occupation and destruction!
At the same time, the insect eggs that fell with it also hatched.

A swarm of corrosive locusts that blot out the sky, venomous mosquitoes as thick as an arm, and razor-sharp mantises with hard shells...

Huge, buzzing clouds of insects formed, like shadows of death, hovering over the city, searching for any living thing they could attack.

"Free attack! Annihilate all demons!"

"For our homeland!!"

These American sorcerers, witnessing the destruction of their homes, were filled with bloodshot eyes and a mixture of grief and indignation.

They believed this was yet another long-planned demonic invasion.

Countless beams of light, ranging from beginner to advanced, lit up across the city like festive fireworks, yet they carried an aura of death.

The mages, relying on the still partially collapsed building ruins, engaged in a fierce street battle against the rampant plants and swarms of insects.

The wind blades sliced ​​through the vines, only to be ripped apart by thicker branches;
Several flying insects were frozen in ice, and immediately more of their kind swarmed in;
The lightning mage unleashed a bolt of lightning, scorching a small patch of the demonic tree, but more corrosive ghost flowers swarmed in from all directions...

These monsters from the Amazon rainforest did not choose to land and invade this place on their own initiative.

They were forcibly "exiled" to this place by Soraka through the Stargate with his supreme power.

Driven by the power of the stars, they were forced to land, take root, and struggle for survival in this unfamiliar city ruin filled with steel and magic.

Human cities have become the new "soil" they are forced to adapt to.

But the instinct for survival, and the wildness bestowed upon them by the Amazon rainforest, led them to launch indiscriminate attacks on everything "not of their kind" around them.

Humanity, in order to protect its last home, will inevitably rise up in resistance.

Thus, in this steel city swallowed by greenery, a battle for survival, which was both unexpected and destined to be bloody and brutal, broke out in full force.

Every second, mages fell, strangled by vines or bitten by insects, their blood staining the broken walls and ruins entwined with vines.
Similarly, some demons were shattered into pieces under the intense bombardment of magic.

The scene was chaotic, bloody, and brutal!
The American sorcerer had been pondering how to deal with the sirens these past few days, but he never expected to encounter a bloody invasion from a plant-based demon empire.
