Chapter 358: The Third Ghost Realm might belong to you, but the entire Horror World belongs to me!
"He’s a tough one!" Alexander couldn’t help but show a trace of admiration in his eyes as he watched Kevin decisively issue the order.
It wasn’t an easy decision to make – going all-out in a life-or-death struggle could result in the loss of 70-80% of their forces. Even worse, a misstep could completely ruin a century’s worth of planning.
Alexander had to admit that if he were in the same position, he definitely wouldn’t be able to make such a decision so easily.
"What do we do now?" Ruby, standing beside Alexander, asked anxiously. They all understood Alexander’s goal was the Mist World and knew his intention to absorb the power before him, realizing the significance of this billion-strong army for Alexander.
Why else would Alexander go to great lengths to find Ghost Pills in other ways, if not for his plan of equal advancement? Otherwise, he could have easily used the corpses from countless ghost battles to refine Ghost Pills. But Alexander didn’t take that shortcut, always looking for other methods, never considering using such a means.
These were the forces for the final battle against the Mist World! The loss of even one was heart-wrenching. Perhaps, at the critical moment against the Mist World, these lost forces could have been the final straw that tipped the scales.
"Don’t worry!" A smile appeared on Alexander’s face as he looked at the horizon gradually revealed behind the oncoming tide of the army. "Things are progressing much better than expected. They should be coming back now!"
"Really?" Ruby and the others immediately showed expressions of ecstatic joy. They knew who Alexander was referring to – the real forces of Dark Hell City. If they were returning, didn’t that mean Alexander’s plan to sweep across the world was ahead of schedule?
"Has it really succeeded?" Bella was still somewhat in disbelief. After all, that was six entire Ghost Realms, excluding the Third Ghost Realm!
"When I first entered the Horror World, Tony and Su Rong Xin had already completed the plan ahead of me," Alexander said with a smile. If not for that, he might have had to resort to more tricks and cunning tactics to delay Kevin further, rather than just making a brief effort, allowing the survivors time to arrive.
"Where are they then? Why haven’t they appeared yet?" Ruby asked eagerly. Alexander didn’t answer, his gaze still fixed on the distant horizon, now exposed due to the tightening encirclement and chaos.
Bella and the others also looked toward the distant horizon, suddenly realizing the truth.
The reason the three of them hadn’t returned in time wasn’t that they didn’t care about the safety of Dark Hell City or went to help other teams instead. The reason was simple: the teleportation array was blocked!
After uniting the entire Horror World, this formidable force naturally needed to converge. Dark Hell, being Alexander’s base, was the natural location for the teleportation array that would summon the army. However, the teleportation array was about to face the transfer of six Ghost Realms.
Nearly or even possibly over ten trillion ghost soldiers couldn’t be teleported bit by bit. If so, the army wouldn’t have gathered before the Mist had already encroached upon them.
Therefore, to welcome the incoming army, Alexander merged and strengthened the Teleportation Array with Ghost Treasures, creating dozens of massive teleportation arrays outside the city. Ordinary hell warriors no longer posed any threat to Alexander and his team.
The arrays were too large to be accommodated within the city, even in the vast expanse of Dark Hell City. After all, we’re talking about ten trillion here!
In Alexander’s past life, this number could have filled the entire Earth to the brim. The area of any one of these teleportation arrays was terrifyingly large, comparable to half the size of Dark Hell City.
Coincidentally, Kevin’s allied army had completely covered these teleportation arrays without missing a single one. Alexander was about to start the smaller backup teleportation arrays within the city, but fortunately, the outermost one was revealed.
Kevin, who had been closely watching Alexander’s every move from afar, saw Alexander’s gaze and expression. His pupils suddenly constricted as he instinctively looked in the direction of Alexander’s focus. In view was a vast expanse of white, the glow of a teleportation array on the ground, appearing at the rear of the troops.
Kevin’s heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that it was bad news. Could it be that Alexander still had a trump card up his sleeve, even at this late stage?
This time, Kevin guessed correctly. As the white light flared, a massive throng of figures immediately appeared behind the allied army. The arrival of hundreds of billions of ghosts was a shock too immense to ignore, drawing everyone’s attention and causing the army, which had been ready to fight to the death on Kevin’s command, to halt in their tracks.
These hundreds of billions dispersed swiftly, moving in all directions to clear the middle area around the teleportation arrays.
Kevin was dumbfounded, his mind blank as he watched this unfold. Indeed, more troops kept emerging from the teleportation arrays, the white light flickering continuously.
Initially, Kevin’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, planning to stop the teleportation and deal with Alexander first.
However, he was a step too late to give the order, and by the time he was ready, three waves of troops, totaling over a hundred billion, had already been teleported. At this point, Kevin abandoned any thoughts of a desperate fight.
The survival of a billion forbidden Ghost Emperors was already enough to drive one to despair. Now, with the addition of a hundred billion-strong army, even a desperate fight would surely lead to his own demise. What was terrifying was that the teleportation arrays showed no signs of stopping, continuously spewing wave after wave of troops.
When the number surpassed a trillion, Kevin was numb, staring blankly at the still-operating teleportation arrays.
"Buddy!" From behind the massive army, Tony patted the shoulder of one of the allied ghost soldiers, speaking amicably, "Could you please move aside? You’re blocking our landing spot."
Instantly, the spot where Tony stood cleared as the allied army parted like the tide, revealing a large open space. Wherever Tony’s gaze fell, the soldiers obediently retreated, preferring to squeeze and trample over each other rather than block the way.
Soon, a second teleportation array cleared up and also lit up with white light. With two arrays teleporting nearly a trillion at a time, the speed increased significantly.
In no time, the besiegers became the besieged, with the terrifyingly numerous allied army being completely surrounded by the even more formidable, nearly ten times larger, army of Dark Hell.
"You just said that these are all yours, that the Third Ghost Realm belongs to you! I admit, except for Dark Hell, the Third Ghost Realm is indeed under your control, so it’s not wrong to say it’s yours. However..."
Alexander walked freely through the air, appearing directly in front of Kevin with a smile, "Sorry! The Third Ghost Realm might belong to you, but the entire Horror World belongs to me!"
"You... you actually unified the other Ghost Realms of the Horror World?" Kevin stared at Alexander in disbelief, shock, and incredulity. He couldn’t fathom how Alexander managed to quietly conquer all the other Ghost Realms. How could it be possible in such a short time?
"Just a small achievement, a little expansion, nothing worth mentioning!" Alexander waved his hand dismissively, exuding an aura of nonchalance that made Edward, who had just been teleported, envious.
"I give up! Just tell me how you want to kill me!" Kevin said through gritted teeth. It wasn’t that he wasn’t convinced, although he didn’t know how Alexander did it.
While he was toiling away in his small corner, Alexander had managed to bring a billion forbidden Ghost Emperors from the real world and even unified the other six realms in the meantime.
There was nothing left to contest. As he said, Kevin admitted defeat. His teeth gritted more due to Alexander’s unbearable nonchalant attitude.
A little expansion? It was a massive leap! Killing a man without respect, showing off in front of someone about to die, was just too low.
Despairingly closing his eyes, Kevin and his brothers braced for their impending doom. "Why should I kill you?" Alexander asked, genuinely puzzled.
"You’re not going to kill me?" Kevin looked bewildered. "But I united the entire Ghost Realm to attack Dark Hell!"
"Did you succeed in taking the city? Did you kill any of my people? Or did you take over my territory?" Alexander countered.
"I..." Kevin paused, his handsome face flushing red with realization. From start to finish, he sadly discovered that he hadn’t caused any real damage to Alexander.
On the contrary, the motorcycle Instance he had nurtured for years became Alexander’s. The Fierce Ghost Street battle he instigated ended up preserving significant fighting power for Alexander.
Yao’s army attack... each attempt not only failed but inadvertently strengthened Alexander’s forces. Now, he had practically delivered the entire Third Ghost Realm to Alexander on a silver platter.
Reflecting on his past confrontations with Alexander, Kevin felt a moment of dazed realization.
