War of Chaos—The Laws have been enduring within the time of the Fierce Ghosts for unknown ages.
The time has passed so long that no one can recall when the Five Great Venerables jointly made this contract.
Some Fierce Ghosts say that since the beginning of the world, the Five Great Venerables had already reached an agreement; after all, almost every Fierce Ghost with memory knows the existence of the Great Venerables, even those Fierce Ghosts who later became Venerables are unaware of the past of those five: while others say they couldn't possibly have been Venerables from the start; they must have gone through long chaotic years, established Laws amidst endless war fire, in those mountains of corpses and seas of blood, maintaining order!
Compared to these long years, the time each War of Chaos opens is merely about a month.
For these five Venerables, a month is as short as a blink of an eye.
But for those Lords unable to guard their territories and the Fierce Ghosts within the city, it is a long catastrophe forced upon them every five years.
No one can guarantee they will survive the War of Chaos, and no one is confident enough to believe they can successfully plunder any city.
After so many years and several Wars of Chaos, the Fierce Ghosts within Dragon City never thought that one day this fear would fall upon them.
"Phew... damn it! How long will these bitter days last? Can anyone tell me how long the War of Chaos has been open? A year? Or a lifetime?" complained an Armless Red-clothed Fierce Ghost, cursing atop the city walls of Dragon City.
In fact, rather than calling it the city wall beneath its feet, it was more like a ruin of broken walls and debris.
Looking around, apart from the very central area that still slightly resembles a city, the originally vast and boundless Dragon City is now almost flattened.
Beside it, another Red-clothed Fierce Ghost with half of its head shattered and dripping with unknown fluid responded with a bitter smile, "Twenty days, my friend, we've only gone through a mere twenty days."
A normal Red-clothed Fierce Ghost can survive in this world for at least a hundred years, and the longest-recorded Red-clothed Fierce Ghost lasted over two hundred years before vanishing into the world, not to mention those Lords.
Without being banished by external forces, they can exist in the world for at least hundreds or even thousands of years.
But these twenty days have been excruciatingly long for all kinds of Fierce Ghosts in Dragon City.
Even for the Lords within Dragon City, it remains the same.
Every day, various Lords come to attack Dragon City.
Some Fierce Ghosts uphold martial virtues and choose to break through the defenses of Dragon City head-on, even standing outside the city gate clamoring for the strongest Lord inside to come out for a duel, like a certain self-proclaimed goddess representing justice and law—Themis, and another goddess also representing justice—Aestrela.
They disdain to use vile means to seize from the Magic Cube Dragon what Zeus desires, attempting to use fair and just duel to win the Supernatural Object as a wager;
But some Fierce Ghosts are not as abundant in martial virtue, choosing to use every means available to steal and rob, even targeting the Magic Cube Dragon for secret assassination, led by the goddess of warfare and wisdom—Athena, and supplemented by the god of war and slaughter—Ares.
They allied with all sorts of Pseudo-Gods suitable for infiltration, poisoning, even destruction, and obliteration, attempting to wipe Dragon City completely from this world, and the Supernatural Objects seem to be just an excuse for them to vent their inner violent desire.
In summary, regardless of the type of Lords attacking, they have inflicted both spiritual and material damage on Dragon City.
Especially during this process, there was no room for easing or rest, keeping guard against these Lords' attacks day and night has left less than ten percent of Dragon City's defense force intact.
Only a few Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts with a slightly stronger self-protection ability still have the ability to stay vigilant.
Most Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts and all Residual Thoughts and ordinary Fierce Ghosts have entirely faded away in this unprecedented siege and defense battle.
"Twenty days? What the hell are you talking about? So, we're enduring this ghostly life for another ten days? We'll all be fucking dead before then!" The Armless Red-clothed Fierce Ghost swore desperately, leaning against the ruin.
It couldn't even imagine how Dragon City might survive these ten days.
Even the most foolish Fierce Ghost within Dragon City can now see that this War of Chaos is vastly different from the previous ones.
Those Lords have no intention of seizing territory, they're just wantonly destroying Dragon City amidst wild laughter.
Which means, even if the Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts in the city want to defect and join them, it would be meaningless.
Because this city and territory are close to complete disappearance.
They are just like travelers long dehydrated in a desert, crawling only on the last breath of survival will, ultimately unable to escape the embrace of death.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't we still have the Lord of Mist covering for us? At least he's been around for the past few days, giving us a rare chance to catch our breath," the Headless Fierce Ghost sighed.
It never knew such a powerful Lord existed within Dragon City before.
This Lord moves freely in various parts of Dragon City, each time appearing before them is always preceded by a strange Mist, followed by the Pseudo-God Lords coming to make trouble, thus earning the title "Lord of Mist" by the Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts within Dragon City.
