Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 521 - 396: Integration into the Contract Spirit Civilization
Chapter 521 -396: Integration into the Contract Spirit Civilization
Hiding in a corner outside Shen Hao’s small map, merely to enhance the strength of other weird demons and shatter the precise surprise attack plan of human civilization, could bring more losses to the human civilization army.
Caught off guard, aside from those who possessed Shen Hao’s blessing, many human system warriors likely would have been wounded or even sacrificed.
However, this Demon Lord charged out directly.
Perhaps it was to hinder Liu Ruoxi, a powerful warrior, but this also exposed itself, drawing Shen Hao’s attention.
Shen Hao couldn’t be bothered to descend directly; the next moment, a starry, vast power descended upon Liu Ruoxi.
As an original favored one of Shen Hao, Liu Ruoxi’s body and even soul were basically in Shen Hao’s form. The upper limit of power projection was terrifyingly high, making him a standard “Divine Son” within some belief systems, and could even be considered one of Shen Hao’s avatars.
Thus, the Demon Lord, weakened due to shared strength, couldn’t react in time and met its demise at the hands of Liu Ruoxi under the descent of the Emperor.
In an instant, the aura of all other enhanced weird demons plummeted.
Everything returned to normal.
It was just a slight delay, not enough to affect the failure of the plan.

Shen Hao then ceased to pay attention.
However, when Shen Hao looked at his points, he couldn’t help but frown.
The points provided by a Demon Lord were far beyond those of ordinary Sixth Stage weird demons, as it contained a hint of Night Will, which alone could bring a large number of points.
Otherwise, Shen Hao wouldn’t have taken action personally since Liu Ruoxi, after activating his sealed power, could have handled it.
The increase in points, however, hadn’t reached such a level.
This could only mean one thing—the Demon Lord had not died.
But Shen Hao was very sure that he had just annihilated the Demon Lord directly from the causal level, rendering ordinary avatar escape abilities useless.
“Night Will… has escaped.” Shen Hao narrowed his eyes, “Shouldn’t it be highly integrated with the Demon Lord?”
Indeed, the Demon Lord’s status and strength were due to the existence of the Night Will.
Otherwise, it would just be an ordinary late Sixth Stage weird demon, how could it contend with a Holy Spirit of the same rank, possessing a Red Mythical Talent?
Therefore, killing the Demon Lord was akin to annihilating a Night Remnant Thought.
However, the current situation seemed to have changed.
Shen Hao was meticulously contemplating the recent anomaly and soon had a guess.
—This was not a true Demon Lord, but merely temporarily possessed the status and power of a Demon Lord!
Just like a Divine Presence.
All weird demons, fundamentally, could be seen as the followers of the Night Will of that “Merging Daoist” and theoretically could at any time bear the power of a Night Will leader.
If so, not thoroughly annihilating the Night Will meant only killing an ordinary late Sixth Stage weird demon.
The lack of points made sense then.
As for how the Night Will covertly escaped under Shen Hao’s hands… it was likely related to a more profound Night Law.
“We need to find a solution,” Shen Hao’s expression gradually became grave.
No one understood better than him the role of this Divine Presence in civilization warfare.
It was even the greatest advantage of human civilization.
All enemies had to face the enhanced human warriors, and even the painstaking efforts to kill them didn’t damage the core power provided by Shen Hao.
Now, the enemy also possessed a similar effect.
Although not comparable to the [Emperor], merely the mismatch between the difficulty of killing and the obtained points could bring significant trouble to the entire human civilization system.
It was a pity that he killed too soon.
Shen Hao’s gaze continuously pondered other areas, seeking a second similar situation.
It wasn’t hard; the weird demons had mastered such tactics, originally intended for frontline warfare against human civilization. Naturally, it wouldn’t only be used in one place.
Before long, another battlefield exhibited a similar situation.
This time, Shen Hao didn’t rush to act but observed carefully.
“Indeed, it’s some sort of similar Blessing power, equivalent to obtaining temporary authority within the Night Law, becoming a temporary Demon Lord.”
“Night Remnant Thoughts haven’t truly descended, just granted the Night Law.”
“This just got trickier, but, the Night Law isn’t unsolvable.”
“Seizing authority, or using Daytime Law authority to counter and destroy.”
“…”
It can only be said that the difficulty of this trial was somewhat beyond Shen Hao and most trial civilizations’ expectations.
After all, this was a world that had already touched upon the Seventh Stage in the highest Law.
Various methods were extremely complex and miraculous.
If it were the Contract Spirit Civilization, they could only rely on the Holy Spirit and brute strength to settle everything with pure combat power.
Perhaps they would still emerge victorious, but it would inevitably come at a significant cost.
However, things were different for Shen Hao.
Ever since he had arrived in this Trial Universe, Shen Hao had been analyzing its original Law Power, especially after reaching the Sixth Stage. His analysis had deepened, and even though he primarily focused on the Daytime Law, by now, his understanding and control over the trial universe’s transcendent origin had already surpassed most of the natives.
Therefore, he could adopt some more efficient methods.
And in the foreseeable future, victory was inevitable.
Once Shen Hao truly mastered all the Laws with the “Sovereign” Talent, he would be the “Sovereign” of this universe!
Even if the Merging Daoist were to be resurrected, he would lose all his home field power.
Even now, Shen Hao could think of several countermeasures.
However, he was still thinking carefully about which method would be the best choice.
Meanwhile, as Shen Hao was contemplating and distinguishing, the frontline battlefield of the entire civilization system already felt the immense pressure from the weird demons.
Various voices had already emerged in the joint combat command center.
The command center gathered the command systems from all affiliated civilizations and was the supreme command institution for the civilization system in battle. At that moment, the projections, voices, and even avatars of the commanders from various affiliated civilizations appeared one after another.
“Only our Casey Civilization’s frontline has already recorded more than thirteen Demon Lords!”
“Our Great Wilderness Civilization has suffered significant losses.”
“This is a multi-Demon Lord joint operation; the enemy continues to increase their forces!”
“We have discovered over one hundred and thirty-two types of new enemy warfare methods.”
“We must eliminate the Demon Lords; is there any top-level combat support available, like the kind augmented by His Majesty the Emperor’s power?”
“Our Holy Spirit has already killed four Demon Lords but is still able to intervene.”
The latter voice suddenly quieted the somewhat chaotic scene quite a bit.
Many gazes converged on the area where the Contract Spirit Civilization’s command team was situated.
The one who had just spoken was known as the Prophet Sub-Saint from the Contract Spirit Civilization, the highest-level command representative in the joint combat command center.
Everyone knew that he had been a pioneer in the Contract Spirit Civilization against the Human Civilization System internally.
Even though the entire Contract Spirit Civilization had joined the Human Civilization System and paid a significant price for previous offenses, the Holy Spirit still held him in high regard.
Naturally, his attitude had also changed.
Since joining the joint combat command, he had always been very obedient.
After all, now was different from the past; if the Contract Spirit Civilization wanted to develop and survive, it must actively align with the Human Civilization.
At the same time, it also needed to stabilize the position of the Contract Spirit Civilization within the Human Civilization’s affiliated system.
Thus, faced with the gazes from other affiliated civilizations’ command teams, he cupped his hands and said, “I have already received instructions from the Holy Spirit. The strength of this new batch of Demon Lords is conspicuously weaker than the first encountered Demon Lords. The Holy Spirit can finish them off alone in a short time. If needed, we can request the Holy Spirit’s intervention.”
However, after his words, applications from other civilizations didn’t come flooding in.
The position of the Contract Spirit Civilization in the current civilization system was somewhat special.
In terms of strength, they were undoubtedly the strongest, especially the Holy Spirit, who was absolutely the second most powerful in the entire Human Civilization System.
But the Human Emperor was the absolute ruler.
Especially since the Contract Spirit Civilization is still under punishment, other civilizations didn’t dare to approach casually, and all communication was just under the rules and regulations.
But if one were the first to ask for help now, they’d somewhat break the tacit agreement.
After a moment, the voice of the Great Yan Empress, Xi Qing, suddenly came: “Does His Majesty the Emperor have any instructions?”
In the Human Civilization System, Xi Qing’s position was also quite special.
She was one of the few in the civilization system who was both a controller of an affiliated civilization and a direct descendant of the Emperor, enhanced by dual identities, making the entire Great Yan Civilization absolutely loyal to the Human Emperor.
In terms of loyalty, she was one of the top among all affiliated civilizations, even appearing more fanatical than those within the Human Civilization itself.
As soon as she spoke, Dong Gong, who was also an avatar at the joint combat command but had been silent until now, also spoke.
“I have compiled and processed the frontline information and submitted it to the President,” said Dong Gong, “The President replied that he is seeking targeted solutions and needs some time; before that, it’s up to the joint command to cope with it.”
Xi Qing nodded, turned to the Contract Spirit Civilization’s Prophet Sub-Saint, and said, “In that case, our Great Yan front formally requests assistance from the Contract Spirit Civilization. There are three fronts where Demon Lords are suspected to appear, and we need the help of your civilization’s Holy Spirit power.”
The Prophet Sub-Saint’s heart leaped with joy.
The ice was broken!
Moreover, the outcome was even better than expected; he naturally understood the status of the Great Yan Empress. In a way, Xi Qing’s attitude could represent both the attitude of the affiliated civilizations and that of the Emperor!
