The situation at the scene has obviously reached its worst point.
Yao Shuimei is severely injured and now sits in place, her combat abilities greatly reduced.
And the enemy.
Baiyu doesn't know what it is.
An S Level distortion; he's never seen one before.
Distortions, like Simulation Realms and Magical Items, are graded, but most distortions Baiyu has seen are not noteworthy.
Even distortions caused by ordinary people are typically insignificant existences.
To become a special distortion.
One also needs some wealth in life.
Therefore, the S Level distortion Yao Shuimei mentioned likely had a significant background in life.
"Was this Simulation Realm formed by that distortion? Then why are there so many demons and alien races?"
Baiyu asked, puzzled.
Yao Shuimei replied, "This has been a long-planned action by the demons, and the appearance of an S Level distortion is also their manipulation."
"Sen Tai Technology Company?"
"Yes, the higher-ups of this company were already controlled by the demons, and that S Level distortion was created by them."
After briefly explaining, Yao Shuimei continued to recover from her injuries.
From her actions.
That distortion should not be nearby now, and the two had definitely fought before.
Yao Shuimei remained still.
Baiyu also planned not to make any moves.
Golden Fruit, Yao Shuimei must be aware of it.
Before long.
Apart from Baiyu, everyone around also arrived on the disc.
Golden Fruit naturally has a kind of allure to creatures; they may not realize it, but subconsciously, they are definitely attracted by the Golden Fruit.
They are entirely unaware of the gravity of the situation.
To them.
This is merely a heavenly treasure.
Of course, it's not ruled out that someone knows about this thing; after all, previously Tao Hong and Li Lv activated the Array without authorization, which resulted in the formation of the river of blood in the sky.
And after the river of blood formed.
The Golden Fruit truly took shape.
So, their actions are one of the causes of the current situation, possibly not the main reason, but they surely cannot escape the blame.
It's highly likely they know the effect of the Golden Fruit.
Apart from this group.
There's also a group of demons climbing up the disc.
Two major camps separated from each other, each wary of the other, with a thick air of hostility constantly spreading between them.
No one makes a move.
Yet.
No one dares to go to the center, near the Golden Fruit.
At this moment, whoever approaches first will become the target of all, attacked by the group.
Likewise.
No one approaches the direction of Yao Shuimei.
Even though Yao Shuimei is severely injured, the pressure and aura she brings are absolutely beyond what they can bear.
The time drags on in a standoff.
In the Simulation Realm, one must always stay at peak condition to guard against sudden dangers and battles.
However.
There's basically no Spiritual Qi in the Simulation Realm.
Martial Artists wanting to maintain their Blood Qi at peak condition must continuously take medications that sustain Blood Qi.
However.
Without replenishment, such medication won't last long.
So the longer it drags.
The scene gets increasingly tense.
Just as both sides are about to erupt into another fight, Yao Shuimei slowly exhales, her injuries almost healed.
The recovery speed of a Peak Tier Two Martial Artist is extremely fast.
Moreover.
Yao Shuimei is one of the exceptional ones at Peak Tier Two.
Just as she nearly recovers, hordes of demon armies suddenly pour in from all directions of the Stone Forest.
These demons all have blood-red eyes, entering a frantic state, and start to charge towards the disc.
Halfway in the charge.
These demons already start fighting each other.
Evidently.
These demons have completely lost their minds, unable to distinguish friend from foe.
On the disc.
Seeing these demon armies, the faces of the human side suddenly turned grim; if so many demons charge up, they would surely be overwhelmed.
Not only the human side.
Even the demons on the disc start to panic.
If such a large group of frantic demons charges up, they would also be torn to shreds.
Soon.
These demons reached the bottom of the Stone Forest; they can climb upward along the vines on those stone trees to reach the disc.
"No worries, these threats are insignificant."
Yao Shuimei whispered to Baiyu, "Just ensure your own safety later, those who dare rush up are courting death."
Baiyu nodded his head.
After she finished speaking, hordes of demons began climbing the vines towards the disc.
However.
Halfway up, countless vines from the trees extended out, dropping down like swords, fiercely piercing through the bodies of these demons.
A silent slaughter is underway.
Corpses of demons fell from the trees, their bodies drained, blood flowing out to nourish the stone trees.
The speed at which these vines danced.
It's even faster than the rate of fire from machine guns.
Yet the demon hordes relentlessly charge forward.
The entire scene.
Resembles a large-scale automated slaughterhouse.
The crowd, seeing this spectacle, is somewhat petrified.
Unexpectedly, these vines on the disc turn out to be a natural protective wall, and this protective wall's defensive ability is remarkably strong.
When they came up.
They didn't encounter vine attacks.
This is also what puzzled them.
However.
Soon, they understood why these vines did not attack them.
As more demons die below the Stone Forest, their blood is absorbed by the stone trees, and the gold plant on the disc starts slowly expanding, shedding its bark continually.
Upon reaching a critical point.
The plant suddenly stood up.
No.
It didn't just stand up.
But came to life!
This plant with a Golden Fruit is actually a living creature!
It slowly stood, its whole body exuding a bloody scent, its gaze cold, devoid of any human emotion.
A powerful wave of contamination spreads from it as the center to the surroundings.
No matter humans or demons around it, under the strong infection, their bodies suddenly mutated.
Everyone instantly turned into a blood flesh monster.
No one was spared.
Even demons couldn't withstand the contamination, highlighting the horror.
Baiyu stood beside Yao Shuimei, during the pollution storm, Yao Shuimei seemed like a black hole, blocking most of the contamination.
Yet.
Even a trace of escaping pollution made Baiyu feel uncomfortable, especially his arms, incessantly itching, as if flesh is growing from the bones.
"The Holy Fruit is completely mature now."
Yao Shuimei fixed her gaze at the center, "That monster wants to kill all creatures in the Simulation Realm to bring the Holy Fruit to its most perfect state.
Time to take action.
Be careful yourself."
