"What?"

Yu Shu lifted his head, dazed, staring at that jubilant face, incredulous: "I... I... but I..."

"You didn't do anything wrong. You fought until the last moment, giving it your all, not disappointing anyone's expectations."

Ji Jue patted his shoulder and laughed: "Precisely because you gritted your teeth and persisted until the end, isn't that why we achieved such a perfect result?

Our plan has succeeded."

Yu Shu stood there in a daze, speechless, but heard a voice beside him like a command: "Stand up, Yu Shu— as a resistor, do you want to kneel to witness the end?"

Before realizing, his body involuntarily stood up.

Rigidly, he lifted his head.

Gazing towards the impending destruction.

Struggling to breathe.

Meanwhile, Ji Jue stepped forward, gazing at the sky covered in light as cracks spread.

The vast camp was like a bubble in the palm of a hand, squeezed tight by hands, cruelly compressing, gradually crushed.

One by one, splendid, enormous figures emerged from the sky, looking down coldly.

Gazing at Ji Jue's face.

So, Ji Jue smiled and waved.

"Hello there."

"Arrogant!"

The Guardian Saint was enraged, his eyes bursting with thunder, the massive hammer in his hand lifted, crashing down like a celestial body falling, stirring up mighty waves.

Boom!

Countless cracks spread, the camp was collapsing, quickly dissipating from the edges.

Yet Ji Jue still watched them, behind the last barrier like a bubble, his smile mocking.

"Something's not right..."

In Sky City, the Pope watching all of this couldn't help but clench his fists.

Feeling an unprecedented tension and unease.

Something's not right.

Somewhere, something's not right...

The image in the projection zoomed in, and then again, until the smiling face gazing up from the earth was almost within reach, distinguishing every subtle change.

Mockery, disdain, and indifference, but not a hint of confusion or fear.

As if, it was all anticipated... prepared for!

Longing for this moment to come!

Is there a spy in the camp?

Ji Jue knew, of course, he was well aware!

Whether someone entering the camp is a spy was clear to him from day one.

Otherwise, with some people holding no faith in him, every time they saw him they would be brimming with hatred and fear, could he not feel it?

In fact, it's not just that one spy; every single one with ulterior motives in the camp—he knows them all, their every move is under Ji Jue's surveillance.

Unfortunately, there are too few spies.

Even a round of live experiments wasn't enough, Ji Jue could only release one to see the specific effect.

Exposure comes with the territory.

No, it should be said that the exposure was precisely the goal.

Without such a maniacal toxin as bait, how could Ji Jue make Sky City unveil its complete nest during this critical point of the Saint Festival?

To a certain extent, the plan to destroy the camp was orchestrated by Ji Jue!

By now, a mere camp can no longer satisfy Ji Jue's needs and goals. Under the pursuit of the cult and the interference from Sky City, nothing can be done.

Stuck in such a tiny crevice, like a rat, scurrying around, ultimately leading nowhere.

Better to put it to waste, allowing it to serve its last purpose.

"Speaking of which, you probably don't know— "

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, Ji Jue's voice resonated from the constantly cracking and collapsing camp: "In fact, the 'Spiritual Body Fungal Community' I created actually has two kinds.

To be precise, there are two completely different effects...

The first kind, as you have seen, targets believers and civilians, focusing on the greatest extent of proliferation and expansion, maximizing infection efficiency. For ordinary people with no spiritual protection, it is purely terminal.

However, you wouldn't be affected just by ignoring it.

Because from the beginning, there was already a restriction in place.

Yes, except for one experimental body given to you with an overdose of the original strain, which will show transformation in the third stage, once it expands to a certain scale, the fully developed fungus will stop and enter a [dormant phase].

In other words, by then, all carriers will become asymptomatic carriers, without even the slightest abnormality."

Ji Jue paused, amidst the earth-shattering rumble, his smile grew even more delighted: "So, take a guess, everyone—when do I plan to release the spiritual virus into your Divine Country Paradise?

The Saint Festival?

Now?

Or rather..."

Long before you realized any of this?!

At that moment, the Pope froze in place, chilled to the bone.

Raised his hand, rummaging frantically, finally finding the report submitted by the Heavenly Eye Hall and the map marked with all the Rabbit Hole exits, almost covering all the four teaching districts: the southeast, northwest...

The time was a week ago!

The poisoning began long before this!

Just when they were leisurely setting up traps, waiting for the heretics to walk into the net, the virus had already spread quietly, covering the entire region, spreading throughout the Divine Country with every breath, touch, and transfer of goods, until, encompassing everything.

At this moment, countless carriers unknowingly live in the Divine Country, operating under the orders of the cult, ultimately spreading the virus they carry to every place.
