Chapter 752 A dark shadow


    Nihari--


    *tter*


    The clear sky above the central region seemedto besuddenly struck by a disease. ck and purple clouds suddenly appeared out of nowhere, eachonden with lightning bolts thatappearedstrong enough to strike down dragons and phoenixes.


    *break break*


    The ground began to shake and crack, tonguesofva and burning groundwater poured out from under the ground with extreme forceasif they wanted to touch the clouds.


    "Kaaa! Kaaa!"


    "ROAAR!"


    The beasts began to retreatslowlyas they looked up infear,Their legs failed them more than onceandthey fell on their faces as if they were learning to walk for the first time...The birds and winged beasts took off and began beating their wings like crazy, trying to flee in all directions.


    Ifthe central region had notalreadybeen evacuated, countless mortals would have died from the harshness of the scene and the intensity of the overwhelming aura.


    *Shhh*


    Among the clutches of the clouds above and the fangs ofva and fiery groundwater from below, an ambiguous ck shadowwas formed.It was not clear whether it was a man or a woman, an elder or a youngster, a human or a mutant, itwas just a ck shadow enclosed by a ck and red radiance...


    The shadow circled around him with his bright eyesandletout a smallugh,"Just a without an owner, youthink you can kick me out? How ironic,don''toverestimate yourself, little spirit!"Then the shadow raised his hand and closed! N?v(el)B\\jnn


    *poof*


    *Boom*


    The clouds that seemed to havee from the bottom of Hell disintegrated and vanished, the lightning bolts that were ready to turn the entire central region into ash exploded from within and disappeared into thin air, andeven the tongues ofva and groundwatering from below copsed and returned to the cracks they came from...The Doomsdaydisappearedas if it were a dream!


    *ck* *ck*


    The skyimmediatelystarted to thunder again, and this timetheheavenlyws in the entire central regionbegan to beviolently disturbed.


    "Calmdownlittle girl,I''mjust here to have a look, Iwon''tmess with anything... I think~"The shadow returned to cing both hands behind his back and scanned his surroundings withhisluminous eyes that seemed as if they could prate anything and his soul sense thateasilyenveloped the entire central regionwith ease.


    "Hmm?"The shadow raised its eyebrows slightly, then disappeared.


    The next time he appeared, he was standing inside arge zone that could hold an entire vige, thatzone was closed from all sides like somekind of anunderground cavity or a have inside a mountain thathad not yet been discovered. Despite this, the ce was notdark,butratherbright, as if it had its own sun.


    The shadow approached one of thehugeilluminated pirs in the middle of the cave and smiled...Everything here was coveredwith energy pearls.


    The walls, the ceiling, the floor, and thosehugepirs, everything was naturallyposed of energy pearls that had neverbeen usedbefore...The shadow looked around in amazement. If this cave appeared on any of the neutrals in the middleary belt, it would ignite battlesthat would imcountless lives!


    "There are no less than 300,000 pearls in this cave alone.If this is left intact until itis promotedto the middleary belt, then I am afraid that small kingdoms like myself will not dream of setting foot in it.Only those Sects and Star Academies canpete for it..."The shadow murmured, smiling, showing his luminous teeth,"It seems that little snakewasn''texaggerating, afterall, my trip hereisn''twasted."Then he gently extended his hand towards the wall.


    *Rumble* The atmosphere inside the cave suddenly became extremely heavy, and a childish voice was heard,"If you touch anything, this incarnation of yours will stay here with me forever."


    The shadow stopped his hand midway and replied in a cold voice,"...You will not get out of this confrontation withoutlosses,just be obedient and watch from the side."


    "There''snothing for you here. Go back to where you came from."The childish voice came out again


    "Hahaha, whether this is for me or not is none of your business.Go backand dosomething useful and leave the game to the yers..."The shadowughed loudly, ofcourse, he knew who he was talking to!


    "If the yer is a cheater, I have the right to intervene."The childish voice spoke asan extremelygloomywbegan to gatheraround the ck shadow densely,"This is your final warning."


    "It''sokay, Iwon''ttouch anything..."The shadow raised both handughing,"But Iwon''tleave now."


    *swoosh*


    The shadow disappeared again. The next time it appeared, it was standing high in the sky of the Eastern Region, looking towards the top of a tall tower rising above the rest of the buildings of a city that seemed to havebeen builtrecently...


    At this moment, there was a human holding something that looked like a remote, sitting behindarge number ofpeople of different races...The shadow smiled and tilted his head slightly, watching.

    Inside the Senate Tower - City of Hope


    "Here, look!"Jabba fixed acertainimage and pointed at it with a shout. This image was part of an optical recording of the battle in the south between the forces of the Great Serpent Empire and the forces of the True Beginning Empire. Jabba bought this recording from the merchants of the Burton family for 600 thousand energy pearls.


    "...What exactly are we looking at, boss?"One of the elders asked in a low voice. The image in front of them showed the True BeginningEmpire''sground army approaching the warships, thesh had yet to begin.


    "Look at the army!!"Jabba pointed at the picture nervously,"There are approximately 1.5~2 million soldiers who use thews in that army, all of them mutants like us, meaning they are Nihari people."


    "That''sright, Sect Master, all the Nihari races are in that army, itseems that the True Beginning Empire wants to use ustheindigenous peopleascannon powder!"One of the elders stood up and shouted to gain the favor of the sect master, but he received a sharp gaze from Fogun that made him quickly sit down


    "I''mnot talking about that!It''snormal to defend our ourselves!"Jabba shook his head, then pointed again at the image and muttered,"...Where are the Nihari giants in that army?"


    "This..."All the elders went back to looking at the army again, more closely this time, and some of them moved and zoomed the image several times, and the resultwas a surprise tothem... There are indeed a number of Nihari giants in the army, but theirnumbers do not exceed one hundred individuals, and they were all in the front row without wearing anykind ofarmor.


    "...There must be an exnation, perhapsthe Shadow Swords are keeping them forter battles?"One of the elders said the first thing that came to his mind


    "Nonsense! Do you think I knew His Excellency yesterday? If there were more of them, they would all be standing on the front rows..."Jabba shoutedand then grittedhis teeth,"What we see now means that the Southern Giantsarepletely finished."
