Chapter 829 - The Styx (1/2)

North African Republic Alliance. This was a massive organization that was formed by several dozens of African clans in North Africa. The region there was rather lacking in resources due to it being mostly desert.

The only source of water they had was just a river; and this river was the reason many people and clans in this region had been warring against one another. There were always hundreds of people dying near the river every single day due to the infighting for water resources.

Due to the high fatal rate around the location, the locals had a name for this river—the Styx.

The Styx was about six thousand kilometers in length and remained as the longest river that existed on the planet.

Many cities of different factions were built congregated along the river. And to be able to build a city along the river, one must be an ability user who was at least B-tier and above.

Thus, unlike how the Huaxia Alliance spread out their cities and colonies, the cities here in North Africa tend to link to one another along the river like a long line. Not only that, each city was not huge in size—they were only as huge as the Chengbei colony.

Nonetheless, it was still a sight to behold when one looked at these cities from the sky.

The nightly sky was slowly brightened by the lazy, morning sun. The cities, upon seeing the first sunlight, started to wake up from its slumber. Several people who were assigned to carry water into the cities picked up their equipment and walked toward the Styx.

Suddenly, the air started to condense around them before everything they saw before them became distorted! In just a matter of seconds, the first few sections of the Styx succumbed to dimensional contortion.

A huge dimensional rift then opened up above the Styx, swallowing half of the river.

To add more, there were also countless smaller dimensional cracks that had opened up about hundreds of kilometers along the river.

The civilians who were there to carry water cried out in fear.

“Cracks! It’s the cracks!”

“Demons! It’s the demons! The demons are coming!”

“Oh no…! Is this another start of an apocalypse?”

Their surrounding areas distorted and shifted as they were wailing in despair. The hills, roads, and the river seemed to be gripped and hurled into a grinder. Everything they saw had changed into a view of a nightmare.

Meanwhile, the alarm systems in the cities roared out loudly.

Now, there was nothing but chaos in the Styx.

“Quick! We need to stabilize the dimension and space there!”

“Get the space stabilizer to the scene right now!”

“Look! What is that?! Is that blood?!”

“Oh my God!”

The people in the cities widened their eyes as they witnessed what was going on via the drones’ cameras.

They saw blood coming out of several, massive dimensional cracks.

A moment later, they saw countless corpses falling out of the dimensional cracks and into the Styx.

A few moments later, the Styx was completely dyed red.

And the dimensional cracks were still spewing out corpses—corpses that were dismembered and crushed to pieces.

Human corpses.

Other humanoid species corpses.

Ultra beasts corpses.

There were corpses everywhere they looked.

A water ability user used his abilities to rock the waters in the Styx to bring up one of the human corpses to the shore.

A brief examination on the corpse revealed that it had a finely crafted rune equipment on it. More importantly, these were spatial rune equipment.

The water ability user quickly brought this corpse out of the water and took off all the equipment from it. His face was filled with joy when he saw the master-craft spatial ring equipment.

This thing must have carried a lot of goodies in its pocket dimension!

Upon seeing this, the others too started to plan to get the most out of this phenomenon. They did not seem to care about whatever disaster that had happened or was about to happen. So long as they could get something out of this and then get away before anything bad happened, they did not care at all.

Some ignorant, superstitious civilians knelt down and prayed feverishly to the sky, hoping that this was not going to be another calamity that would end the world again.

Then, more and more blood and corpses appeared in the Styx.

Things started to take a huge, interesting turn.

“My God! This corpse… he’s wearing a God Armor, I think?”
