"Damn it, how could they appear here?" said Parasyte with an ugly expression. No one answered him as they were also perplexed.
"Did the weapon awaken their sense of danger sense?" asked Yu Zhou.
"The weapon is an Emperor Artifact, naturally containing the power to cancel cause and effect. Unless their strength were closed, they would never sense any danger," explained Designer.
They all ruled out this possibility since it was impossible.
"Could it be Wang Wei's intuition?" added Tong Ruobing, who was in the back. "From the information gathered, his intuition has always been extraordinary even when he had no cultivation."
"As I said, due to the vast difference in power from the artifact, his intuition would be useless. Plus, if it was his intuition, why did Di Tian also show up?"
"Could it be the result of their Emperor Artifact?" asked Yu Zhou. No one answered him as they looked at Designer for an answer.
"They are connected to their artifact as the leader of their respective factions. However, unless their artifact was a special one related to divination, calculation, or clairvoyance, it should not work."
Everyone frowned as this answer was a partial one. They had no way to check whether this was the truth or not.
"It's not time to ponder these things," said Parasyte. "The main issue we have to figure out is how to deal with their attacks."
"This might be a good opportunity," uttered Yu Zhou. "We don't have to worry about searching for them; their actions have brought them to our doorsteps."
"Designer, what do you think?" asked Parasyte.
"I would love to gather more energy for the weapon to ensure we can use a few more attacks. However, the current state is more than enough for our needs."
"So, what is our strategy?" asked Tong Ruobing.
"Why do we need a strategy? Just kill them with the spear," sneered Yu Zhou, who remembered the humiliation he suffered during the Clean-up; he could not wait to witness Wang Wei's death with his own eyes.
"The spear needs a certain charging time," explained Designer. "We must channel some of its power into the array to prevent any variables. And maybe, we can try to trap them with it before striking."
Designer suddenly looked at Parasyte with sharp eyes, "Situation like this will prove Tong Ruobing's value."
Parasyte frowned, not hiding his displeasure, "How many times do I have to apologize?"
"This is not the time for in-fighting," chimed Yu Zhou, reminding them of the urgent situation. Designer coldly snorted before looking at someone next to him:
"Yang Guowei, you're in charge of this node."
He then pointed in another direction. "Bing'er, you're in control of this formation's node. Be careful since you will be under the greatest pressure."
"No problem." Tong Ruobing took her position as Designer and assigned each person a node to control the formation.
Then, the group waited.
Outside the black mist:
Wang Wei observed the mist, analyzing it. He realized its only purpose was to hide all senses or prying eyes.
'It's not a formation,' he thought as his eyes pierced the veil of truth behind this mist. 'It seems to be a strange lifeform.'
He had never heard of such a creature, so he concluded this fog was something from other World Communities or something from the upper dimension.
'Although this method is weird and unknown, its overall power is still weak.'
Wang Wei then created a black hole that swallowed the black mist before him. Meanwhile, Di Tian waited for him to act as he observed. He squinted his eyes after noticing the latter only displayed peak 5-Root Strength.
So, he followed him. He created an illusory world that also absorbed the black mist. With their effort, the fog dispersed in less than five minutes.
The fog disappeared, revealing what was behind. Wang Wei saw a formation with a spear at the center. Then, he saw the people controlling the array, focusing on one person.
"Tong Ruobing?" he asked, squinting his eyes. "I guess I should not be surprised."
Of all the Heaven Chosens, Wang Wei always labeled her the most threatened since she was like him, willing to do anything for success. And with her high charisma, it's easy to get people's good grace and use them as pawns.
