I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 148 Surrounded by Enemies! Nyarlathotep Awakens! He's finally here!
Naya City.

Inside the city lord's palace.

The orange-haired loli, Rhea, an eighth-tier evolved being, had an extremely solemn expression.

boom--

Rumble——!
Right now.

Everyone could hear the earth-shaking roar coming from all directions of Naya City.

That is……

More level 8 refuge cities!

In just a short period of time.

Level 8 refuge cities Ghost King City, Quil City, and Ten Mile City have all appeared.

Following closely behind were Mengcheng, Wusicheng, and Hailuocheng...

Every city mobilized its entire force, with millions of evolved beings joining the battle!
"hateful!"

"We didn't receive any prior notice..."

Rhea's delicate face was full of frustration.

This encirclement came too suddenly.

without any exaggeration.

Almost everyone in this level 8 refuge city on planet A3 was present!
Their target is Naya City!

At this moment.

The Morians, including Rhea, didn't have time to think about why these level 8 cities would besiege Naya City at the same time.

What she needs to consider is...

How can we find a way to save Naya City from this siege?

Seeking peace?

impossible.

From the attitude of the Lord of Quil, Rhea could tell that there was no room for negotiation in this siege.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Yin Yao and others also appeared here.

They never imagined that their trip to find Ember in Dawn City would end like this...

However, they were also drawn into this 'Battle of the Level 8 Refuge City'.

Yes, even though forces like Ghost King City were all after Naya City.

But Dawn City in the sky was far too conspicuous.

So that...

The forces of Ghost King City and others had just appeared when Dawn City was attacked.

The attack came from several figures clad in mechanical armor. Their auras were extremely powerful, and with a single sword strike, they nearly shattered the energy shield of Dawn City.

Left with no other choice, Dawn City had to land above Naya City and seek refuge in Naya City's energy shield.

Otherwise, if Dawn City were to suffer a few more attacks, it would likely fall directly from the sky and be destroyed.

Although Dawn City possesses powerful sky-related properties, it is ultimately only a level 6 refuge city.

But this way.

Dawn City and Naya City have truly become in the same boat.

call--

Yin Yao took a deep breath.

She felt a pang of self-reproach; Yu Jin had only been gone for a short time, and she seemed to have already messed everything up.

Dawn City's involvement in such a war is undoubtedly extremely dangerous...

"The most important thing right now is to ensure the president's safety."

soon.

Yin Yao and the others met Yu Jin.

The latter remained dormant, and its right arm, missing at the root, was so conspicuous...

Meanwhile, Rhea and the other Moors welcomed back their king.

"My king!"

The seven eighth-tier evolved beings of Naya City shouted in unison.

Knaia remained asleep, offering no response.

For a while.

The atmosphere inside the palace was oppressive and heavy.

Neither Dawn City nor Nyarlathotep City has awakened its strongest warriors...

……

……

Ghost King City.

Austin Zorn led millions of evolved beings out of the city gates.

Natasha and Ellie were also among them.

just.

Both of them had extremely solemn expressions on their faces.

The reason for the solemnity...

The two looked up at the four guards who were always by Ostan Zorn's side.

Just yesterday.

An eighth-tier evolved being from Ghost King City was killed by four guards for reasons unknown.

Austin Zorn remained indifferent throughout and did not intervene.

To know.

That eighth-tier evolver who was killed was once Zorn's most capable subordinate!

Zorn valued him even more than his own sister, Natasha.

But even so.

That eighth-tier evolver still died.

This whole thing seems incredibly strange.

especially……

Zorn's behavior is becoming less and less like himself.

Natasha even suspected...

Is that figure in front of me really my own brother?
the other side.

Ellie's mood was even heavier and more depressed than Natasha's.

With her 'farsight' ability, she saw the other level 8 refuge cities.

To be precise, it refers to the situation of the other eight-tier limit city lords.

Ellie discovered...

Whether it's the Lord of Quill City, the Lord of Ten Mile City, or the other lords of the other level 8 refuge cities, each lord is always followed by four 'guards' wearing mechanical armor and sci-fi masks.

guard?

Ellie didn't think it was a guard.

Previously in Ghost King City, the aura of the 'guards' when they made their move even made Ellie suspect that it was power far beyond that of a ninth-tier evolved being...

"In the end what happened?"

"In a short period of time, everything seems to have changed..."

Ellie fell silent, unable to help but think of the embers.

If he is...

No, even if he were there, he couldn't stop these mysterious 'guards' at all.

Ellie had no idea what these 'guards' were up to.

Was it merely to annihilate and suppress Naya City?
It can't be that simple...

……

……

Time passes slowly.

Another half day passed.

During this half-day period, armies of evolved beings from all directions of Naya City, representing various level 8 refuge cities, converged together.

Looking out from the city walls of Naya, the total number of attacking enemies within sight was nearly one hundred million.

During this half-day period.

Cities such as Ghost King City did not immediately launch an attack.

They seem to have deliberately given Naya City time to prepare for war.

Within half a day, Naya City mobilized all its evolved beings and tens of millions of Moors to take up arms and prepare to defend their city.

The same is true of Dawn City.

Dawn City is now forced into this terrifying war of life and death, and there is no way for it to extricate itself.

Unlike Naya City, which has accumulated a century of history.

The total number of citizens of Dawn City is only a little over two million.

Most of them were newly awakened citizens who had recently joined Dawn City.

Most of them are only of the second or third order.

The rest of the citizens of Dawn City were not of high rank either, mostly at the third or fourth tier, with the fifth-tier evolvers considered elites.

And Dawn City's top combat power—

Yin Yao, Chen Gang, and Neil are all at the seventh rank.

Most of the earliest core members of Dawn City, such as Wang Yunpeng, are still at the sixth level.

This combat strength is far inferior to that of level 8 refuge cities like Ghost King City.

Dawn City has developed rapidly, but Ember has only been in office for a total of 20 days.

It is still too difficult for a city to catch up with the decades or nearly a century of accumulation of level 8 refuge cities like Ghost King City after only 20 days of rapid development.

"I wish the president would wake up..."

Only then did Yin Yao and the others realize how significant the existence of the embers was to Dawn City.

"If only our king could awaken..."

The citizens of Moor Star in Naya City had already learned of Naya's slumber and shared the same thoughts.

……

……

Time passes little by little.

Another half day passed.

The weird thing is.

The level 8 refuge cities, such as Ghost King City, still have not launched an attack.

They surrounded Naya City layer by layer, seemingly waiting for something.

"What are you waiting for?"

Not only the people of Naya City and Dawn City, but even Nasha and others from Ghost King City did not understand.

They looked at the four guards behind Austin Zorn and couldn't help but make various guesses, but they couldn't get any definite answers.

that's it.

An extremely eerie atmosphere has descended upon the A337 area, including Naya City and its surroundings.

Outside Naya City, hundreds of millions of evolved beings are eager to fight.

Within the city of Naya, tens of millions of people are determined to fight to the death.

but……

They just can't seem to start fighting!

Since cities like Ghost King City did not launch an attack, Naya City naturally could not take the initiative to attack, as it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

This decisive battle seems to be silently weaving a vast net under the manipulation of an invisible hand, waiting for something to enter the game.

Another day passed.

This was the second day that Naya City was besieged.

It was also the sixth day that Yu Jin had fallen into a deep sleep.

this day.

boom--!
Inside the city lord's mansion in Naya City, an extremely terrifying aura soared into the sky.

Ice and fire intertwine, prophecy glimpses destiny.

"king!"

"My king!"

"The king of Naya City, the leader of Mole Star, has awakened!"

Inside Naya City, tens of millions of citizens were overjoyed, and many Moors even wept with joy.

"Nyarlathotep is awake..."

Inside Dawn City.

Yin Yao, Chen Gang, and the others looked up at the petite figure enveloped in ice and fire in the sky and couldn't help but feel excited.

Nyarlathotep's awakening undoubtedly gave them more hope of winning this final battle!

Can……

Something strange happened.

After Naya awoke, he deliberately exposed his ninth-tier aura.

The level 8 refuge cities, including Ghost King City, which surround Naya City, still refuse to retreat.

They neither retreated nor attacked.

They are still waiting, waiting for something.

In front of Ghost King City.

Natasha and Ellie were completely bewildered.

Not only them, but also the eighth-tier evolved beings in many level-eight refuge cities such as Quil City and Ten Mile City all raised questions to their respective city lords.

Why not attack?

Why wait?

then……

Several eighth-tier evolved beings were killed on the spot by the 'guardians'.

this moment.

Aside from Natasha and Ellie, many other eighth-tier evolved beings finally realized...

Behind this bizarre siege, there seems to be a mastermind manipulating everything.

He is so powerful that he can easily mobilize all the level 8 refuge cities on planet A3, and make Zorn, Quill, Jewen and other level 8 limit city lords 'obediently follow his orders'.

now.

Deep within the City Lord's Mansion in Ghost King City.

Within the core area, a figure dressed in a commander's uniform silently gazes at the distant city of Naya.

He was feeling, sensing the breath.

Naya's ninth-tier aura surprised him somewhat.

Logically speaking, given the extremely high level of pollution on planet A3, it should be impossible for a ninth-order evolved being to emerge.

but……

The fact that Nyarlathotep reached the ninth level further proves that his initial plan and judgment were correct.

He murmured to himself, his hands gently gesturing in the air in front of him.

In the void, there seemed to be countless invisible lines that changed constantly as he flicked his fingers.

soon.

Another whole day has passed.

Snapped--!
Suddenly.

The thread in his hand snapped!
"Um?!"

He let out a soft exclamation, stood up, and stared intently at Naya City not far away.

"what--"

For the first time since arriving on planet A3, Holland Benitez, the senior commander of the Celsa fleet, smiled.

"So it's always been in Naya City?"

"interesting……"

"I hope you live up to the title of 'bug-type player' and don't disappoint me too much..."
