Ghost Compendium

Chapter 271: The Battle of Supernatural Calamities


"It's just the thoughts of ordinary people, do you, who know what happened back then, still remain ignorant? Do you truly believe humans can oppose the supernatural?"

The [Pioneer] continued his intense ideological debate with Wu Liang, but the sand fortress under his feet advanced like a menacing war machine.

Wherever it went, the corpses on the ground were crushed into dust, ultimately becoming part of the fine sand, its glaring pure white unaffected by the surrounding bloodshed.

However, when this war machine reached the giant sword at Wu Liang's feet, it was forced to stop.

The part of the giant sword that came into contact constantly shattered the fine sand, or was swallowed by it, while more mist continuously formed in the air to fill in the gaps.

For a moment, both sides were deadlocked in place.

But from the perspective of the people around, it was evidently two colossal beings engaged in a fierce confrontation. Forget about approaching; anyone hit by the flying sand would die on the spot!

At this time, Wu Liang also began to observe his surroundings.

It appeared to be near a beach somewhere in Shenhu City, and the giant infant fierce ghost that had trapped him seemed to possess the ability to obscure the environment.

This allowed the members of the [Promised Land] to use it as a hiding place in such a bustling city.

Yet, the moment the giant infant fierce ghost was exorcised by him, and when the group attacked and had their souls shattered by the Nightmare, the place was exposed to everyone's eyes!

Now on the beach, tourists were fleeing, children were collapsing in fear, bystanders were taking dangerous photos with their phones, and security personnel and police were directing evacuation in a chaotic frenzy.

"Whether humans can oppose the supernatural is another question, but at least humans shouldn't become blood-thirsty, murderous fierce ghosts!"

After Wu Liang finished speaking, the Hanged Ghost's rope appeared from nowhere over the [Pioneer's] head, determined to hang him alive here.

However, the [Pioneer] sneered without even lifting his head, and the rope fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The Hanged Ghost's fierce ghost presence weakened to the point where even the [Ghost Compendium] could barely sense it.

Just from a single photograph, it was so badly injured that it couldn't even communicate with Wu Liang.

Fortunately, the moment it hit the ground, it was recalled inside the [Ghost Compendium] for recuperation.

During this process, Wu Liang didn't idle. Apart from the Tower Ghost left guarding the Utopian Village, even the Puppet Ghost that had been switched back to the Capital City was summoned.

They unleashed their Red Robe Peak, and even City-Destroying Level fierce ghost auras wantonly.

In an instant, the beach became as vicious as an abyssal hell. Ordinary people even lost the desire to flee, standing stupefied, witnessing the apocalyptic scene in midair.

"Was [Ghost Valley] defeated by your group of artificial ghosts? This should have been his expertise, truly lamentable..."

The [Pioneer] remarked with emotion.

The next second, from his brocade pouch emerged tumultuous fierce ghosts, roaring as if they intended to shred this world.

Nearly each one reached the state of Red Robe Peak, with even two possessing the City-Destroying strength comparable to that of the fierce Dragon Ghost.

At first glance, it seemed that Wu Liang had a greater number of City-Destroying Level fierce ghosts on his side, but alas, the [Pioneer's] brocade pouch gave rise to as many as twenty Red Robe Peak fierce ghosts!

This scene gave Wu Liang a sense of déjà vu, as if he were still facing the mountain ghosts in the Tianshan Mountain Range!

"Thanks to your battle with [Ghost Valley] at that time, I found the opportunity for artificial ghosts to break through to City-Destroying Level. Although I've only managed to create two for now, the future is uncertain."

The [Pioneer] waved a large hand, and fierce ghosts on the sand fortress showcased their abilities, lunging at Wu Liang.

No matter if they were ordinary people or Awakened individuals, facing this scene on the beach, their eyes were filled with various complex emotions, mostly negative.

A single Red-Clothed Ghost meant the area would become a supernatural incident's blocked area; more than one required several teams of Awakened dispatched by the authorities to handle; as for City-Destroying Level fierce ghosts, hardly anyone had encountered them!

Now, with multiple City-Destroying Level and Red Robe Peak fierce ghosts everywhere, it exceeded everyone's imagination.

"What...what is that!"

"Is the supernatural calamity happening again!?"

"Oh God...I've seen Satan..."

"..."

Panic, unease, and despair spread among the crowd, leaving everyone at a loss.

Ultimately, their gaze fell upon Wu Liang and the [Pioneer], who had summoned these fierce ghosts.

Until one person, trembling, shouted towards them: "Calamity... They are summoning the supernatural calamity!"

At this point, not only those on the beach but also viewers watching the scene spread via phones had "supernatural calamity" flash across their minds, causing a weakness in their legs.

Yes, this was a world ravaged by supernatural events for four to five years.

Those still living in this era were the survivors who barely endured through the supernatural calamity.

In the calamity, only a few truly came into contact with supernatural events and survived. Most people faced fierce ghosts with only one path—death.

Most were those lucky to have waited for the governmental formation of the Paranormal Handling Department without much exposure to supernatural events, restoring social order.

Even among these lucky ones, none lacked fear of such things as fierce ghosts.

In the first two years after social order was restored, psychologists were overwhelmed with patients, yet demand still exceeded supply.

There were simply too many people with psychological scars from fierce ghosts, especially the calamity survivors, who couldn't sleep at night, waking from nightmares.

When supernatural events were accepted as divine punishment by everyone, these two individuals appeared before them who summoned fierce ghosts.

When humans possessed powers long considered ominous, people on the beach and online felt a fear surpassing that of the fierce ghosts themselves.

"Look, boy, they're afraid of you."

"Even if your actions are to protect these ignorant fools, when you step off this giant sword and approach the crowd—they will hurl stones they find at their feet at you."

"Your battle with me is said to prevent humans from becoming fierce ghosts, but in their eyes, it's merely two supernatural calamities engaged in destructive slaughter."

"So, what's the point of everything you're doing?"

The [Pioneer's] words pierced Wu Liang's heart like a sharp blade through his ear.

Previously, in Chengyang City when battling [Ghost Valley], when the camera could capture the fight, the fierce ghost minions were already entangled with the artificial ghosts.

Therefore, the origin of these fierce ghosts was not recorded.

This became a widespread online topic—'The Unsolved Mystery of the Chengyang City Destruction Battle.'

But now, it's different.

Whether it's with their eyes or the phones they clutched, people recorded the entire process of artificial ghosts and fierce ghost minions appearing.

In an instant, Wu Liang was forced to stand alongside the [Pioneer] on the stage, receiving jeers.

When justice and evil are presented as violent confrontation before the people, justice often finds itself restricted, as it can't employ the same ruthless measures for acceptance as evil can.

This is the tragedy of justice and the epitaph of the noble.
