Chapter 446 Entanglement Point

That man was actually quite strong—otherwise, Eden wouldn’t have sent him to complete this task. Even if it was just a stone thrown, it had to be ensured that it could reach the target; if it broke mid-air, it would serve no purpose.

Of course, the destination was surely reached; it just sank to the bottom.

After that guy initially experienced the thrill of commanding those demons, he started to get cocky, and soon after, he recklessly ordered those demons to engage in slaughter—commands that were effectively suicidal for some of the weaker demons. So, even if their intelligence wasn’t high, they weren’t completely ignorant of the option to defy orders, and besides fleeing, they could also choose to eliminate this guy first.

This wasn’t surprising—even that woman was now being besieged by those crazed demons. When pressured to a certain extent, the root cause of the current situation naturally attracted even more hatred.

However, that man was also decisive; after getting attacked by demons for the first time, he realized these demons might have already gone out of control and didn’t attempt to forcibly command them anymore—after all, he had already completed Ling Mo’s order, which was to throw the city into chaos. Hence, his priority now was simply to survive amidst this turmoil.

But the demons weren’t going to reason with him. Most demons were single-minded; their thoughts were simple—once violence broke out, it became a situation of fight to the death: either this man dies, or they die.

So even if that guy was strong, he couldn’t possibly be a match for so many high-level demons. He definitely couldn’t fight them off; his only escape route was to run back to Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan for help.

But just his luck, he encountered that monster fish on his way back.

Adding to that, he had a good impression of the monster fish from their first meeting—it was dumb enough to be easily commanded. And the city couldn’t possibly have all the demons rebelling at the same time, so he decided to take a chance and ordered the monster fish to kill all the demons chasing him.

However, this time, the monster fish didn’t listen.

Perhaps it was the thrill of slaughter that drove the monster fish mad, or for some other reason, but upon seeing that guy, the monster fish unleashed a blast of water, giving him a sulfuric acid bath. The poor guy didn’t even have time to react before he met his maker—if such a figure even existed.

And Monica witnessed the whole event in real time.

“So, does this mean all those demons have completely revolted?” Ling Mo raised an eyebrow.

Even the monster fish, which considered that woman as a mother, rebelled against what could be called a mother’s command. This proved several points.

Xia Xinyan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

Given the current situation, it was more suitable to check in person.

Plus, finding that woman wouldn’t be hard—just look for the most chaotic place.

The chaotic location wasn’t far, near the woman’s residence. At this moment, the woman was being besieged by a swarm of demons, and it seemed that the rebellion had tapped into her furious nature. This was also the first time Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo witnessed the woman genuinely fighting.

I have to say, that woman’s strength was impressive. Her primary attack method was the robust arms seen earlier; however, those arms didn’t just appear at fixed points but could emerge anywhere under her control. Those meaty lumps seemed to be the bases for the arms; the more spread out these meaty bases were, the more thick arms sprouted.

After the arms were born, every punch virtually resulted in the demise of a demon—those poor demons ended up like the corpses of the living dead Xia Xinyan and the others saw when entering the city, typically torn in half by a single punch or swipe. The arms moved extremely swiftly and were nearly impossible to defend against; countless demons fell to these arms, and many arms were also torn apart by the demons. The battle had entered a fever pitch, and the entire scene looked like hell.

But upon closer observation, one could tell that the woman was gradually turning the tide against her.

The attacking demons were already bloodthirsty; they no longer fled but launched suicidal attacks on the woman. And those demons themselves didn’t lack strength; although numerous arms had slaughtered many demons, even more arms were being ripped apart, surpassing the speed at which the arms grew back. In this case, the frontline was continuously being pushed closer to the woman.

At that moment, the woman stood atop a chair made of flesh and blood, her face dark as she observed the surrounding demons but did not strike—perhaps her true form didn’t possess much strength, as all her power was focused into those arms.

If that was the case, then her defeat would likely just be a matter of time, especially when some demon finally broke through to her.

Xia Xinyan, Ling Mo, and Monica were currently watching the show from atop a building—they even called over the meat can. Luckily, since it lived just one floor below them, it hadn’t been affected by the chaos.

And even if it heard the orders, it probably couldn’t be bothered—after seeing the scene, it was just shaking its head and sighing: “Meaningless slaughter needs to be repaid…”

Very piously old.

Ling Mo didn’t see this massacre as meaningless; at least not for humans. It was a bit unethical, but it held substantial meaning.

Moreover, the underlying reason for this current situation was still the demons’ innate nature. If they could just calm down a bit or be more rational and peaceful, there wouldn’t be any of this mess.

But seeing the current situation made him a bit curious, and he couldn’t help but ask Monica, “By the way, if that woman dies, would… that entanglement center of yours disappear? Would this scene just turn into an ordinary area like other places?”

“No,” Monica shook her head, “The entanglement point is the entanglement point; it won’t disappear. What changes is only the vessel that bears the entanglement point, just like that Demon Castle. This guy, to put it simply, is just a vessel. If it dies, the entanglement point will simply shift to another place, not vanish.”

After a pause, her tone became somewhat odd: “That’s why I said it’s more useful to keep it. At least it’s not something as burdensome as the Demon Castle.”

Xia Xinyan picked up on her implication: “So, no matter what we do, those entanglement points will still promote the demons’ ultimate evolution?”

“That’s what it means,” Monica nodded, “The entanglement point is connected to this chaotic race because of that catastrophic disaster, and the degree of connection has surpassed the normal range, which is why its role in promoting demon evolution is so pronounced—unless you wipe out this entire race, the entanglement point will continue to fulfill its function.”
