Chapter 498: Do You Believe in Prophecies?


    Su Chen''s gaze shifted to the other cities, which hadn''t encountered the Ghost God Army and were only facing ordinary Ghost n armies, making the situation rtively easier.


    This time, the Ghost n had indeed gone all out. Each attacking team was led by two eighth-order Ghost n members. Normally, a city only had one City Lord-level expert, so the Ghost n should have been able to capture the cities easily.


    Unfortunately, they happened to encounter Su Chen''s subordinates.


    From Su Er to Su Jiu, each of them disyed their peak eighth-order strength on the battlefield and faced off against two opponents without falling behind. Seeing their City Lord being so powerful, the soldiers were greatly motivated.


    With just a nce, Su Chen knew that this battle would pose no problems.


    However, as he was thinking this, he suddenly remembered something. There had been an unexpected incident during a previous mission when arge hole had appeared around Base City, followed by the appearance of a million Ghost n members. If the same thing happened this time, except for Rainless City, the other nine cities might not be able to hold out.


    "It''s impossible. It happened once; how could it happen a second time?" Su Chen shook his head.


    Yet, just as he was thinking this, there was a change around the ten cities!


    Boom!The ground trembled violently, and the battle between humans and the Ghost n abruptly stopped. They then witnessed a group of previously unseen Ghost n members suddenly appearing around the battlefield.


    Upon closer inspection, these Ghost n members were somewhat different from the ones they were familiar with, with the most significant difference being that they didn''t have Ghost Patterns!


    Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns? How was that possible?


    From the moment a Ghost n member was born, they knew one thing: every Ghost n member had Ghost Patterns. They had never heard of Ghost n members without them. Only Su Chen recalled something Wang Chun had mentioned: in the information he had seen, Ghost n originally didn''t have Ghost Patterns. These markings were created by a genius among the Ghost n.


    In other words, these Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns were the most primitive form of the Ghost n!


    The question was, why had these Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns suddenly appeared here?


    Su Chen furrowed his brow, unable to make sense of it. The strange thing was that these unique Ghost n members were only present in the ten cities under his control. Could this be rted to the mission?


    The appearance of these Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns had instantly halted the battle. Only Rainless City remained in a standoff, as they had already driven off the original Ghost n forces.


    Seeing these Ghost n members, Su Er first immobilized the two Ghost n members in front of him, rendering them powerless to resist, before turning his attention to the neers.


    "Are you Ghost n members?" Su Er furrowed his brows. It was his first time seeing Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns, and now they had suddenly appeared in suchrge numbers. A rough estimate put their numbers at least around a hundred thousand.


    At this moment, an eighth-order Ghost n member stepped forward and smiled friendlily at Su Er. "Hello, I am the Ghost King of Tribe 16, and I havee to assist upon the orders of Witch-sama."


    Su Er: "???"


    What on earth was going on?


    Su Er thought he must have misheard. A Ghost n member was saying that he wanted to help them fight against another group of Ghost n members? What kind of situation was this?


    Su Er was not the only one stunned; even Su Chen, who had heard the words himself, was taken aback. Had this Ghost n member''s brain malfunctioned?


    "Being fellow members of the Ghost n, you''re actually bowing and kneeling to humans? You''re not worthy of being part of the Ghost n!" The eighth-order Ghost n member held by Su Er nearly choked with anger.


    They had thought these Ghost n members hade to assist them, but their first action had been to help humans. Could you believe it?


    "Traitor, go to hell!" Another eighth-order Ghost n member joined in the shouting.


    Finding these two Ghost n members too noisy, Su Er simply applied a bit of force, breaking their necks, leaving them to die in frustration.


    Even after seeing two eighth-order Ghost n members die, the neer eighth-order Ghost n member remained expressionless.


    "I don''t know who this ''Witch-sama'' you mentioned is?" Su Er asked. He hadn''t sensed any hostility from the other party.


    "Witch-sama has an alias, but I''m not qualified to reveal it," the Ghost King said, appearing somewhat bashful.


    Su Er''s mouth twitched. Did this Ghost n member have a malfunctioning brain? If he didn''t tell his name, how would Su Er know who Witch-sama was? Getting it wrong would be embarrassing for both of them.


    "But Witch-sama mentioned that once I show you this, you should be able to identify her identity." With that, the Ghost King produced a small device that looked like a chip.


    Su Er''s gaze changed. This thing was familiar to anyone in the Red Alert forces; it was the core of the Psychic Shield!


    As for those connected to the Psychic Shield, there were only two possibilities: Yun Ru, who had produced many portable Psychic Shields, and the owner of the Psychic Shield itself—Libra!


    Was the Witch Libra?


    This answer not only surprised Su Er but also caught Su Chen off guard. Libra knew very well where she was, so why had she mysteriously be the Witch? More importantly, where had she found these Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns? They were obediently following her orders, and judging by the Ghost King''s demeanor, it didn''t seem like he was being controlled by Psychic abilities. What was going on?


    Now that he knew that Libra was behind this, Su Chen decided to contact her directly. "Libra, where are you?"


    "Commander, it''s been a long time. I''m currently in a remote part of the Ghost n''s underground world," Libra''s voice sounded calm; this was her first persona.


    "What''s the deal with those Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns? How did theye to your aid and help humans? Also, how did they suddenly appear on the battlefield? Did you find a teleportation device to the Underworld?" Su Chen asked a series of questions.


    He couldn''t fathom what Libra had been up to during this time.


    "Commander, Libra will tell you one thing at a time. Let''s start with the first matter. I identally stumbled upon these Ghost n members without Ghost Patterns. They have been living in a very remote corner of the Underworld, so remote that most Ghost n members don''t even know about it. The Underworld has used that remote area as a garbage dump, where various kinds of trash and... some newborns without Ghost Patterns are thrown in every day. Just like humans, there''s a certain probability that Ghost n members are born without Ghost Patterns, but these babies are discarded there after birth. Over time, they managed to survive by relying on arge amount of garbage."


    "But even if you found them, they shouldn''t have any reason to obey your orders, right?" This was the part that puzzled Su Chen the most.


    "Commander, do you believe in prophecies?" Libra''s peculiar voice echoed.
