A glance in the direction of the dimensional portal told him that the mid-level Virtual G.o.ds were not done leaving yet. As a result, Lin Huang’s entire body tensed up.

He had already sealed away the last two t.i.tan Bugs, which meant that the Bug Tribe Heavenly G.o.d did not have any more p.a.w.ns to test the waters with. Lin Huang had no idea what he would do next.

Judging by the teleportation rate here at Tough City, it would be at least another five minutes before it was his turn to use the portal.

He had even already prepared a Grade-3 Escape Card. It could get him off Heavenly Spirit Planet, but the location it sent him to would be completely random.

Thankfully, his nerves did not stay taut for long. Soon, the watchtower sent them some shocking news.

The Bug Tribe had retreated!

When he heard that news, Lin Huang was stunned at first, but then he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The others may not know what had happened, but he knew perfectly well. His gamble had paid off. Perhaps after all his scouting attempts failed, that Bug Tribe Heavenly G.o.d finally chose to give up.

However, what he did not know was the rules of the cards had injured the Braintipede and scared the cautious Braintipede off. That was why he chose to retreat without hesitation.

The other humans in Tough City were confused at first, but after a while, some of them began to cheer, and soon cheers reverberated throughout the entire city.

The many low- and mid-level Virtual G.o.ds that had thought they would end up dying with Tough City realized that the danger was over now, and their pent-up emotions finally found release.

Some of them roared and howled, some of them sprinted as fast as they could. Some wept quietly, while others wailed loudly…

Even Nangong Wei heaved a huge sigh of relief. When he decided to stay, he had been determined from the start to die here.

He was also one of the few people who knew that a Bug Tribe Heavenly G.o.d had arrived. When he saw the t.i.tan Bugs approaching, one after another, he knew very well that this was just a test. Thankfully, after three rounds of tests, the Bug Tribe Heavenly G.o.d chose not to attack after all. Perhaps the enemy was wary of the unknown powerhouse on their side.

Although he was curious to know who the unknown powerhouse who killed those t.i.tan Bugs was, and how strong this person truly was, Nangong Wei wisely chose to let it go.

The fact that the powerhouse helped them secretly meant that they did not want to be known. If Nangong Wei tried to find out by force, there was a chance he might anger this unknown powerhouse instead.

Collecting himself slightly, Nangong Wei looked at the somewhat chaotic scene below and spoke once more.

“The retreat of the Bug Tribe army only means that Tough City is safe for now. However, the appearance of the other four t.i.tan Bugs earlier proves that the other four cities have been defeated. It’s only a matter of time before the Bug Tribe comes back.

“I can understand that you’re happy we survived this, but I hope you will look at the bigger picture first and retreat in an orderly line. Once we have retreated to somewhere safe, we can let ourselves go then…”

Nangong Wei’s words calmed most of the people down, and they lined up again properly.

The few who still wanted to celebrate wildly hurriedly joined the lines again when they saw how everyone else was lining up now.

Lin Huang stood in line, but a part of his consciousness had delved into his internal world.

Amidst the many Monster Cards, there were five new blue-colored Epic-level Monster Cards.

The front side of the card depicted the t.i.tan Bugs that had just vanished from the battlefield.

The combat level of these five cards was simply too high, so they could not be summoned for now.

Lin Huang knew very well that he could lower the five Monster Cards’ levels. Once he lowered them down to virtual G.o.d-level, he could summon them as usual. However, he refrained.

The reason was very simple. These five t.i.tan Bugs were Epic-level Monster Cards, and their combat level cost the Bug Tribe Queen Mother a great number of ingredients and a ton of energy. That was why they were born so strong. If their combat level was reduced to virtual G.o.d-level, they could not be raised to true G.o.d-level again, not unless he used an Advance Card to raise them to mythical level.
