Chapter 100 -80: The World Within
Cuihu Wetland Park.
At dusk, the temperature was just right, and the fresh air gave a pleasant comfort. A breeze blew, bringing a slight refreshing coolness.
The winding paths were full of people, some leisurely strolling, some jogging and sweating, others sitting on benches enjoying the scenery and the rare peaceful moment.
Flames rose by the lake, smoke swirling. Every open space had turned into a bustling picnic and barbecue area, adding a touch of human activity to this lush green world.
Charcoal burned, flames danced, and the food on the grill emitted tempting aromas. People sat together in a circle, eating barbecue, singing songs, and chatting about various trivial matters of life.
A scene of harmony and beauty.
“Ribbit!”
Suddenly, a clear frog croak sounded from the lake. Though not loud, even those far from the lakeshore could hear it, and many showed puzzled expressions, looking toward the lake surface.
“That frog is really loud,” a young man eating barbecue said offhandedly.
“Spring is here, everything is awakening, and it’s the mating season for animals again.”
The person next to him mimicked the tone of “Animal World,” saying, “In Xinhu City’s Cuihu Wetland Park, the frogs…”
Before he finished speaking, more frog croaks sounded.
“Ribbit!” “Ribbit!” “Ribbit!”
The frog croaks grew louder, more intense, becoming increasingly noisy and chaotic within a few breaths’ time. They turned into an unstoppable storm of magical sound, pounding people’s eardrums.
“What’s going on?”
The citizens were astonished, never having seen such an anomaly, and they took out their phones to record it.
Splash, splash, splash!!!
Suddenly, the lake surface boiled violently, with water spraying everywhere.
Next, waves soared into the sky, and countless blue frogs catapulted from the lake, covering the sky, densely filling every inch of space. They spread outward at an astonishing speed.
These frogs were bright blue all over, their grand advancing herd was spectacular and shocking, like a field of blooming blue roses in the mountains, pleasing to the eye.
But anyone with some common sense knew that in nature, the brighter something was, the more dangerous it was!
These blue frogs had no fear of humans and even actively jumped toward people. Unlike ordinary frogs, they sped quickly while spraying purple liquid from their mouths…
“Ah!”
A man was unfortunately hit by the purple venom, clutching his face and screaming in agony.
Smoke rose from his face, and his skin and muscles rotted away instantly, revealing white bones that also melted in the hissing corrosion. He immediately fell silent and collapsed.
The blue poison frog army crawled over him, and his body deflated at a visible speed.
“Run!!!”
Someone shouted first, and the entire park fell into panic and chaos, with screams and cries intertwining, completely shredding the harmonious and peaceful scene.
People stumbled and fled toward the outside in fear, but the blue poison frogs spread too quickly, like an unstoppable flood. Many were caught by the frog tide, managing only a terrified scream before the blue waves swallowed them, rendering them silent.

Songlin Pig Farm.
“What… what is happening…”
The pig farm staff looked at the scene in horror, feeling their worldview being overturned.
The pigs in the pens were all swelling bizarrely, like balloons, growing bigger and bigger.
Finally, bang!
With a blast, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and all the pigs exploded. Swarms of foul-smelling flies surged from their bodies, forming a black storm that crazily swirled in the air.
The workers present were instantly devoured by the fly swarm.
Moments later, severely decayed bodies fell to the ground, and in that rotten flesh, countless fly eggs were rapidly growing…

Renai Hospital.
In the delivery room, with a loud cry, a tiny new life came into the world.
“Let me see,” the sweat-drenched mother demanded her baby from the nurse.
But when she held the child in her arms, her expression suddenly froze.
The crying stopped, and the baby no longer showed any signs of life.
The doctor immediately started emergency measures, but it was to no avail. The baby was cold as if it had been dead for a long time, though he had been crying vigorously just now…
At the same time.
In the nursery, several nurses stared blankly at the scene, trembling uncontrollably.
Dead, all of them dead…
All the newborns were dead…
…
“Tongtong… what’s wrong? Don’t scare me… Honey!!”
A woman’s scream echoed in an apartment building. Her son had been jumping around asking for KFC a second ago, but the next moment he suddenly went silent. When she looked over, he was already on the ground, his skin deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Cold as a corpse dead for years.
That night, all children born in Renai Hospital in the past four years perished.

Xinhu Control Bureau.
Shrill alarms echoed layer upon layer, and rushed footsteps hurried in all directions.
The sudden activation of the “Ten Disasters” ritual array caught everyone off guard. No one had expected the situation to change so quickly.
Looking at the observation data on the big screen, Wang Dong gripped his cane tightly, his eyes calm,”
“Activate the alternate dimension.”
-Abnormality 018: Alternate Dimension, a projection plane based on the real world. Any destruction caused in it would not affect the real world itself.
The most important is when the alternate dimension is activated, it automatically pulls in anything related to Supernatural Power, so it’s usually used as a battlefield for the Transcendent.
However, opening the alternate dimension consumes resources and requires someone to maintain it—the larger the scale covered by the alternate dimension, the scarier the resource consumption and the higher the maintenance difficulty. Hence, the Control Bureau only opened it in extremely dangerous situations.
As the operator pressed a big red button, the world instantly felt different.
A secret curtain shrouded the entire Xinhu City, with the rampaging blue frogs and flies… disappearing in an instant.
“The Ninth Disaster has been successfully isolated into the Alternate Dimension!”
“Gather the personnel and eradicate them as soon as possible.”
The activation of the Evil God Embryos was indeed troublesome, but just a bit troublesome. With the Xinhu Control Bureau’s Strength, dealing with them wasn’t a big problem.
The truly unsettling thing was the unknown entity that the “Ten Disasters” ritual array aimed to summon.
These Evil God Embryos were euphemistically called “Ten Disasters,” but bluntly speaking, they were just offerings… and whatever could be summoned using Evil God Embryos as offerings couldn’t be anything good.
