Chapter 805: 802, Sunday’s Secret Realm (Part 3)
To avoid suspicion, Gary waited half a minute before returning to the plaza in front of the city lord’s manor. He was also the last adventurer to arrive.
Seeing that Gary had arrived, Doc, the lord of Sun City, swept his gaze over all those present, including the Warcraft, and, with his hands on his greatsword, said loudly, “Now that everyone’s here, let’s get down to business.”
Doc’s towering height of five meters and his massive build exerted no small amount of pressure on Sky Dragon and the Skrull people present. His voice was also incredibly deep and commanding, which further intensified that pressure.
However, Sky Dragon knew that this Blue Man city lord wasn’t particularly strong.
Based on the aura inadvertently revealed by Doc, Sky Dragon deduced that his strength should be around the peak of the Sixth Order, definitely not that of a Seventh Order powerhouse. He was stronger than everyone else present, but only by a limited margin.
Doc held the attention of all those present and declared:
“After three days of continuous combat, and with everyone’s assistance, the insect army has now shown signs of collapse.

I have held a war council with the senior military commanders, and we have unanimously agreed to launch a total offensive against the insects!”
Doc spread one hand out, and a detailed battle map appeared in front of all the people and beasts present.
The detailed battle map showed Sun City on the lower right, a large area in the middle where current battles were taking place outside of the city, and the upper left corner was the insect army’s lair, marked on the map as “Insect Nest.”
Once everyone’s attention was focused on the detailed battle map, Doc said solemnly, “In one hour, we will launch a total offensive against the insect army. Our goal is to crush the insect forces in the middle of the map, and then head straight for the ‘Insect Nest’ located at the upper left, and eradicate every living being inside!
During the offensive, we must not trip one another up. No infighting of any sort between the troops is allowed; we need to be united as one.
Once we take down the ‘Insect Nest,’ I will reward you according to your ‘Merit Points’! I guarantee that the rewards will definitely be to your satisfaction!”
Hearing this, the Skrull people and the high-ranking Warcraft showed smiles simultaneously.
Isn’t this what they had entered the secret realm for? Now the time had finally come to tally up the rewards.
Moreover, the difficulty of taking down the Insect Nest wasn’t very high.
Through days of war, they had gained a considerable understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of both Sophia’s people and the insect army.
At the beginning, Sophia’s people were evenly matched with the insects. After these explorers joined, the scales of victory tilted heavily in Sophia’s favor.
Looking at the current situation, as long as Sophia’s army took the field and faced the insects head-on in battle, unless Doc’s command was terribly poor and fraught with blunders, it wouldn’t be difficult to crush the main insect forces with overwhelming power and strike directly at their lair.
These adventurers wouldn’t need to lead the charge; by providing support behind the main forces, they could easily achieve victory in the war.
The entire process was very safe, virtually risk-free.
…
But precisely because it was safe, many of the Skrull people and high-ranking Warcraft didn’t look relaxed.
They discussed amongst themselves telepathically:
“Based on the current situation, we’ll basically face no danger if we steamroll over them, so how do we guarantee that ‘50% death rate’?”
“Right, we’re not allowed to attack each other. If we were, it would make sense, but this way, hardly anyone will die.”
“Could it be that this secret realm is different from the others? Maybe we don’t need to lose 50% of our number to pass?”
“Now that you mention it… it seems possible. After all, our understanding of the ‘Final Secret Realm’ is still quite shallow.”
…
As the Skrull people discussed amongst themselves, Sky Dragon furrowed her brows, pondering over the words of Doc.
She noticed that Doc specifically used the phrase “eradicate every living being inside the Insect Nest.”
“Why is it ‘eliminate all lifeforms’ instead of ‘eliminate all the bugs’?” Could it be that there are other creatures in the nest aside from bugs?
Sky Dragon felt it was necessary to ask. So, she raised her tiny hand high.
Seeing Sky Dragon raise her hand, Doc, the city lord, immediately looked at her, “What is it?”
For this top assistant on the Military Merits leaderboard, he obviously would not ignore her.
Sky Dragon blinked her big eyes and asked seriously, “City Lord Doc, you mentioned ‘we need to eliminate all lifeforms in the nest’ rather than ‘eliminate all the bugs’. Does that mean there are other creatures in the nest besides the bugs?”
“That’s right, there are other creatures.” City Lord Doc admitted frankly.
“What exactly are those creatures?” Sky Dragon pressed.
“This… I can’t tell you for now, you will know when the time comes.” City Lord Doc hesitated before answering.
Hearing the conversation between Sky Dragon and City Lord Doc, the Skrull people and High-Ranking Warcraft present were not fools; they immediately thought of a possibility.
Could it be, could it really be that situation!
At this point, Sky Dragon’s mood had sunk to rock bottom, the answer from City Lord Doc had confirmed her guess.
“Can I ask one last question?” she said.
“Go ahead.”
“If those creatures in the nest that aren’t bugs surrender, can we spare their lives?”
“No!” City Lord Doc said emphatically, “We do not accept any form of surrender. Every creature in the nest must be eliminated without exception!”
“…Alright, I understand.” Sky Dragon stepped back emotionlessly a few steps, hiding behind a High-Ranking Warcraft to block herself from City Lord Doc’s view.
Now, she had completely understood what this secret realm was all about.
If she was not mistaken, this realm had started with a division of personnel from the moment they entered.
Of the 50 explorers who entered the secret realm, 25 were assigned to Sophia’s side, and the other 25 were assigned to the nest.
Sky Dragon was assigned to Sophia’s side, and A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated must have been allocated to the nest.
Each explorer was forced into their own faction upon entry.
However, the explorers from neither faction had met, or even knew of the other’s existence.
But as the decisive battle between factions drew near, with war escalating, the explorers from both sides would inevitably meet—until the explorers from one side were “completely eliminated” by the other, and the secret realm would then come to an end.
By such calculations, the death rate in the secret realm was bound to be over 50%, and even by the end, not many people would survive.
Continuing according to the secret realm’s script, if Sophia’s side were to win in the end, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated would inevitably die within the realm, and Sky Dragon would leave with the rewards.
If the bug side were to win… thinking this far, Sky Dragon shuddered, suddenly feeling death was very close to her.
“No, I can’t let the secret realm’s script continue like this!” Sky Dragon told herself determinedly in her heart.
Whether it was her death or the death of A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, it was unacceptable to her!
She had to find a way to break the script of the secret realm.
Even if she couldn’t obtain any rewards, she was determined to leave the secret realm alive with A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated!
