At this moment, countless questions flooded his mind.
What happened here?
Why did he fall into this nightmare here?
Everything was fine just a moment ago... how did things suddenly go wrong?
"Old Wolf!"
"He Chengxuan!"
"Mi Bo!!"
Teacher Ye's heart sank. He immediately began searching the surroundings, but strangely, apart from the horribly deceased Pu family members, there were no other Integration Faction members' bodies to be seen...
"How could this be?"
Teacher Ye looked back and saw thick smoke rising from all directions of the South Sea Realm. Countless massive Disaster figures surged within the smoke, and agonizing screams mixed with roars filled the air without end...
The entire city had already become a living hell.
Teacher Ye's face was pale, and he immediately ran towards the city.
Amidst the ravaged ruins, torn bodies were everywhere. Blood, frozen by the frost from the Forbidden Sea, resembled mottled crimson flowers blooming in every corner of the South Sea Realm.
How many people had died in the entire realm? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?
Teacher Ye had lost count.
He only knew that there were no survivors visible on the roads; only the booming sounds of battle could be heard from the far distance. Occasionally, figures of Pu family members, formed by strokes of text, streaked across the sky, rushing to aid those afar.
Teacher Ye tried to call out to the passing Pu family members. Some heard him and looked in his direction.
But once they clearly saw it was Teacher Ye, their expressions changed drastically!
"It's someone from the Integration Faction!!!"
"Quick!! Request backup!!!"
Teacher Ye was stunned. Before he could react, several figures had already surrounded him!
At the same time, streaks of dark brushstrokes pierced through the void, almost grazing Teacher Ye's neck. If Teacher Ye hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would likely have been directly decapitated.
"Are you insane?!" Teacher Ye reached into his pocket, gripping a reagent, his face utterly grim.
"Ye Mu! Our South Sea Realm kindly took in your Integration Faction, and you betray us?"
An angry voice echoed from the void. The brushstrokes that had just grazed Teacher Ye quickly reassembled in the air, transforming directly into Pu Chunshu's figure. "Lord Nanhai was too benevolent! We shouldn't have let you in back then... or rather, we should have killed all of you the moment you entered!!"
Pu Chunshu, dressed in blood-stained traditional Chinese attire, was angrier than ever. His gaze towards Teacher Ye was as if he wished to tear him to pieces.
"Betrayal??" Teacher Ye frowned deeply. "What are you talking about??"
"Still pretending!!"
Pu Chunshu's chest heaved violently. He raised a hand and waved, and the surrounding Pu family members simultaneously activated their Divine Arts!
The next second, a large amount of ink and brushstrokes visibly floated up from the crevices in the ground beneath Teacher Ye's feet, as if someone was writing in the void. They instantly wove together into a massive character, "网" (net), with two "X" shapes crossing directly to trap Teacher Ye in the center!
Teacher Ye's expression changed repeatedly. "Pu Chunshu, there must be some misunderstanding between us..."
"Misunderstanding?" Pu Chunshu said through gritted teeth. "Your Integration Faction personally killed so many of my Pu family members, and you still call it a misunderstanding?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Teacher Ye's eyes widened. Just as he was about to say something more in his defense, Pu Chunshu raised his palm, and a miniature book materialized in the void before him...
Just then, a nearby crumbling wall exploded with a crash!!
A massive body streaked through the air. A skeletal wolf stirred up dust, carrying terrifying kinetic energy as it slammed into the two closest Pu family members, turning them into a bloody mist. Its colossal body stomped the ground, shattering the earth along with the "net" character!
This sudden attack startled both Teacher Ye and Pu Chunshu. By the time they reacted, the skeletal wolf had already taken a bite, directly snatching up the two closest Pu family members and fiercely tearing them apart.
Horrific screams erupted from the skeletal beast's massive maw. Blood spurted everywhere like a shower, and flesh was crushed between the wolf's teeth. Besides these Pu family members, the bodies and even heads of many ordinary citizens were faintly visible as well.
After chewing several Pu family members to pieces, the skeletal wolf opened its blood-soaked jaws and let out a thunderous roar!
Roar—!!!
"Old Wolf?!" Seeing this scene, Teacher Ye's eyes widened in disbelief.
Primal bestiality spread with the roar. On the skeletal wolf, there was no trace of reason left, only the ferocity and bloodlust of a Disaster!
"Old Wolf, what are you doing?!"
Before Teacher Ye finished speaking, the skeletal wolf sharply changed direction and fiercely bit at Teacher Ye's body!
Its speed was too great; Teacher Ye had no time to dodge. He could only plunge the reagent he already held in his hand into his flesh...
Boom—!!
Just as the ferocious maw was about to bite Teacher Ye, a silent storm of thoughts rippled out. The skeletal wolf's body abruptly froze in place, as if it had momentarily forgotten how to control its own body.
Teacher Ye retreated like lightning, but at the same time, Pu Chunshu slapped his book, and a long sword, gleaming with cold light, thrust directly towards his back!
Having injected the reagent, Teacher Ye could now perceive the thoughts of all living beings around him. Almost simultaneously with Pu Chunshu's move, he willed it, directly misleading Pu Chunshu's mind, causing the sword to instead stab into the nearby ruins with a booming sound!
It was a mess...
Everything was in chaos!
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?!" Teacher Ye stared intently at the skeletal wolf he had hypnotized. "Their consciousness has been taken over by the Disaster? How is this possible... The experiments clearly proved that the Disaster's influence shouldn't affect the consciousness of integrators!!"
Teacher Ye instinctively began to recall the experimental results, but the next second, his memory seemed to tear apart as several fragmented pieces surged into his mind, and excruciating pain flooded his nerves.
He clutched his head in agony, veins bulging on his neck.
"Wait..."
"The experiment..."
Teacher Ye's heart pounded wildly. He suddenly looked up towards the toy factory, an unspeakable terror gradually creeping into his eyes.
Could it be...?
Teacher Ye ignored the out-of-control Old Wolf and the approaching Pu Chunshu, who was still wielding his sword and trying to kill him. Gritting his teeth, he leaped into the air and sped rapidly towards the toy factory!
The fierce wind whipped across Teacher Ye's face, his expression incredibly grim.
Riding the wind, he crashed directly through the factory's main gate. Inside the factory, it was already empty...
"Zhao Yi!! Xiao Tao!! Ling Long!!"
Teacher Ye called out twice, but in his perception, there were no thoughts of any living beings remaining in the vicinity.
He didn't search further, but instead went directly into the underground laboratory...
The next second,
he stared at the shattered experimental debris strewn across the floor and the ravaged laboratory, frozen in place.
