Chapter 620: Chapter 357, Meat Mountain_3
âCommander Matins, I grant you full command. Please lead Team A to destroy the Demon Engine. Afterward, you may divide your forces, split into groups, or act together to destroy as many Sinister Energy Cannons as possible. But remember, you must return here within three hours.â
âThe rest of you, stay and fortify this location, under the command of General Nevys, ensuring nothing goes wrong. Dress and the Storm Mage Corps, please start establishing the transportation channel immediately. We will leave this place in three hours.â
âYes!â Commander Matins stood up, swiftly mustered Team A, and set out.
The so-called Team A was a team that had been put together before the action, consisting of about two-thirds of the entire groupâs personnel, excluding the spiritual energy users.
The remaining personnel also went about their assigned duties, doing as the governor-general had ordered.
With time pressing, no one could afford the slightest relaxation at this moment.
...
Among them, the busiest person was none other than Gu Hang.
He assigned tasks and duties to all his subordinates, getting everyone busy. As for himself, he had to deal with a task of utmost importance:
Blocking Ge Wajia with all his might.
Of course, Ge Wajia probably hadnât noticed the commotion here yet.
This was precisely why Gu Hang had chosen to strike this place first.
He had long realized that the âmeat mountainâ he had just leveled was actually a spokesperson for Ge Wajia, a messenger of Ge Wajia, the core maintaining the overlay of Fino City with the Subspace, an extension of Ge Wajiaâs power into the real world.
But killing it didnât mean everything was over.
Fino City was already beyond salvation; the issue couldnât be resolved just by killing a cult leader or a Great Demonâs messenger. The core area of Fino City had been completely dragged into the Subspace. The crux of the problem lay in the Subspace, in Ge Wajia, not in whoever outside was maintaining the erosion of Subspace.
What good would killing this monster do?
If Ge Wajia noticed, it could select another person at any time to perform a similar role.
In fact, if necessary, its very entity could descend.
The problem would remain unresolved.
However, the key point was that whether Ge Wajia decided to find a new âspokespersonâ after discovering the issue, or to descend itself, all this would take time.
The temporary disruption of the core, as well as Gu Hangâs use of his spiritual energy and the Demon Sword to block this place, severed the interaction between the two worlds. Since the Demon Swordâs essence was Ge Wajiaâs power itself, it would make it difficult for that filthy entity to detect the problem immediately.
His current task was to make this unobtrusive isolation last as long as possible.
Yet such isolation couldnât last forever. Given time, Ge Wajia would ultimately discover it.
And what Gu Hang needed was precisely this time difference.

Regarding updates, Iâd like to say a few words to everyone.
I also wish to write more, but honestly, writing is slow⊠four thousand words take me about two hours. Moreover, the further I get into the story, with more characters and events, the more difficult it gets to manage.
Sometimes before I start typing, I need to use pen and paper to sketch some thoughts, as itâs my personal habit for thinking. One session can easily take up half an hour, covering one or two pagesâŠ
Plus, since Iâm not a full-time writer, my time is really limited.
I can only work hard to maintain a daily update of four thousand words, ensuring a full attendance each month.
As for why Iâm doing single updates rather than splitting them into two chapters, itâs mainly because writing flows better this way, and it also reads more smoothly in one go. Forcing it into two chapters would disrupt the rhythm.
Iâll try hard to get six thousand done tomorrow!
