#2502 - Cooperation
White Hell Arena, underground sealed area.
A large number of Overseers gathered outside the ritual area.
Starting from the earlier explosion, a large amount of high-concentration black fog continuously poured out from the ritual area.
Fortunately, the 'Jealousy' demon seed left behind powerful props sufficient to cope with the outbreak of the demon seed.
Three Overseers wearing purple fanged masks simultaneously manipulated the Nightfall Stone giant magic array, quickly purifying and absorbing the black fog, blocking it from continuing to spread outwards.
The area of black fog diffusion was tightly restricted to the inside.
It seemed like a final burst of glory; soon, after a massive eruption of black fog, the speed of its spread noticeably decreased.
Unfortunately, the effect was very limited.
Fang Heng and Baumgartner's group arrived, hiding far behind to observe.
The outside of the ritual area was already in chaos, and no one even noticed when Fang Heng and the others arrived.
"Just as I guessed, the seal set by Jealousy inside is difficult to break. Kyogre and the others are in trouble and won't last long."
Fang Heng observed the periphery for a moment, turned his head to look at Qiu Xiaoling and the others, and said, "Later, we'll work together to cause chaos on the periphery. Qiu Xiaoling and I will enter the ritual area. Baumgartner, you and Abulaiti attract their attention and then immediately retreat. We will meet up with you after we've dealt with the seal."
The group looked at each other.
Baumgartner nodded and said, "Okay, let's act according to the plan. Be extremely careful!"
"No problem."
"Let's move!"
With a loud shout, the four of them simultaneously erupted from behind a group of White Hell Overseers, taking the initiative to launch an offensive!
Dense black fog surged towards the team in front!
"Not good! Someone is attacking!"
The Overseer team was suddenly attacked from behind, causing some confusion.
"It's a demon seed! Be careful! Stop them!"
In the initial barrage of attacks, the White Hell Overseer team was immediately heavily injured, with several people being blasted away.
...
In the center of the sealed ritual area, Kyogre's situation was not good.
The young man stood beside Kyogre and couldn't help but urge, "Is it done yet?"
"Shut up!"
Kyogre was now fully urging his mental power to try to erode the seal located beneath the metal layer, but the metal layer was much thicker than he had anticipated, and it could also greatly shield the penetration of spirit and perception.
Extremely troublesome!
Kyogre took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "'Jealousy' has set up multiple seals in the deeper layers. I need more time."
"Don't say I didn't warn you, that group of people outside is not easy to deal with. You don't have much time left."
Just as he was speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the ritual area.
The young man frowned and looked outside, his brows furrowing immediately.
"It's Baumgartner and the others. Are they here to help?"
The young man and Baumgartner were both inheritors of the Wrath demon seed, and they were inherently hostile to each other.
Kyogre also sensed Baumgartner's group coming to support them from the outside, glanced at the entrance from afar, and curled his lips, saying nothing.
"I'll go meet them."
The young man glanced at Kyogre, and seeing that he didn't object, he immediately rushed to the entrance to provide support.
"Boom!!!"
The White Hell Overseer team was entangled with Baumgartner's group, who had suddenly emerged from behind, when the aura of the demon seed suddenly erupted from behind!
The young man led Zhuang Yufei and the old man out of the depths of the black fog!
In an instant, the battle situation underwent a huge change.
The three Overseers wearing purple fanged masks had solemn expressions.
Did they want to cooperate from the inside out and make a desperate attempt to break through?
They couldn't let them escape so easily!
"Don't let them break through!"
In just a few breaths, the three of them unanimously decided to focus their defenses on the inside, launching a counterattack against Zhuang Yufei and the other two's offensive, blocking their attacks.
"Go!"
Taking advantage of the brief confusion, Fang Heng immediately gave Qiu Xiaoling a look.
The two immediately seized the opportunity to quickly slip into the black fog.
"We retreat!"
Seeing that Fang Heng and the other two had succeeded in their actions, Baumgartner also gave a shout and immediately retreated back with Abulaiti.
After a sudden burst of attacks, Zhuang Yufei and the other two saw that Baumgartner had taken Abulaiti away again, and for a moment they were also a little confused, quickly retreating back into the black fog.
The brief battle lasted only two minutes, ending with the retreat of the demon seed side.
The surrounding Overseers frowned, looked at each other, and felt a little inexplicable.
It was really strange.
What did this mean?
It clearly looked like a breakout, but the breakout didn't succeed, and instead two more people ran inside?
It felt like throwing sheep into the tiger's mouth.
There was obviously something wrong.
The Overseer wearing the purple fanged mask thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "Continue! Purify the black fog. None of them can escape!"
"Understood!"
Fang Heng and Qiu Xiaoling broke into the black fog and went straight to the central magic array of the ritual altar.
Zhuang Yufei and several other demon seeds also surrounded them.
Kyogre was manipulating the magic array, and upon seeing the two arrive, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Hmph, what? What does Baumgartner mean by sending you here now? Weren't you not interested in my proposal?"
Qiu Xiaoling shrugged and looked at Fang Heng, "I told you, he's already like this, but he's still being stubborn. All 'arrogance' is equally annoying."
Kyogre's expression changed slightly, and he raised his head to look at Qiu Xiaoling, saying coldly, "What did you say?"
"Arrogance, our goals are the same. We both want to break the seal and deal with 'Jealousy'." Fang Heng walked in front of Qiu Xiaoling, blocking the sight of Arrogance, and continued, "We know more about the magic array, so we want to come and help."
Kyogre shifted his gaze away from Fang Heng, his tone carrying a hint of disdain, "Interesting, do you think I would need your help?"
"No, we want to beg for your help."
Fang Heng didn't bother wasting time arguing with Arrogance about who was superior.
As long as he could get enough benefits, he could immediately admit defeat.
Without saying much, Fang Heng quickly raised his hand to beckon Qiu Xiaoling over, raised his head and said to Arrogance and the demon seeds behind him, "Later, I will find a way to break the outermost metal layer and part of the inner seal. Destroying the seal will cause great fluctuations, so I need you to help me block the White Hell Overseers outside."
"In addition, Arrogance, the clay pot you control can release the aura of black fog, which can help us quickly wear down the seal's defensive barrier. Without the help of you few, it is impossible for us to break the seal on our own."
