Chapter 994: Spreading Plague

Helshest received Huo En's command and responded coldly:

"Received!"

At the same time, those strange people surrounding the Tianlong Pirate Crew all stepped forward simultaneously.

"Drop your weapons, put your hands on your heads, and I can spare your lives!"

The wall of strange people advanced through the toxic miasma.

The Tianlong Pirate Crew couldn't figure out their opponents' true capabilities at all.

If they attacked, it would mean declaring war against the Colombian Navy.

But surrendering and letting themselves be captured was obviously impossible!

The Dragon King quickly made his decision. "Kill!!"

He roared angrily, his clothes instantly bursting apart.

His solid muscles bulged out, then took on a black iron-like luster.

Soon he transformed into his beast form [Diamond Armor Dragon]!

"If you want war, then I'll give you war!"

The Dragon King roared furiously.

The pirates around him laughed wildly, unleashing various supernatural abilities as they clashed with those bizarre soldiers.

Hundreds of soldiers charged forward, with over a dozen soldiers ganging up on each person, beginning an intense battle.

These soldiers' combat skills were extremely formidable, and their strikes carried immense force.

Especially during physical collisions, it felt like hitting cold, hard steel.

The Dragon King transformed into a several-hundred-meter-long giant dragon circling in mid-air, coldly observing his surroundings.

The fog was too thick—he couldn't see through to locate the controller of these strange soldiers.

"Diamond Body!"

The Dragon King's massive body powerfully coiled around, his tremendous force instantly sweeping away hundreds of soldiers.

"Dragon Flame!"

He opened his enormous maw and spewed a raging black flame stretching a hundred meters, burning through the surrounding toxic miasma.

The toxic miasma quickly burned away completely when encountering the ultra-high temperature flames.

The pirate crew members saw this and cheered excitedly: "Dragon King is mighty! Dragon King is mighty!"

But the Dragon King and Bailian didn't feel the slightest relief.

Because they knew the Colombian Navy too well—they were the true overlords of the ocean regions.

Without absolute confidence, they wouldn't lightly start a war.

Even the Huaxu Kingdom, which competed for dominance with Columbus Ocean, had to admit: You could say Columbus Ocean was evil, but you couldn't say they were weak!

They couldn't believe they could strike their opponents so easily.

Sure enough, just as their subordinates were still cheering.

Suddenly, a pirate felt some itching on his arm.

He lifted his arm to look, and what he saw made his face instantly turn deathly pale!

The knockoff combat suit on his arm had already corroded with seven or eight large holes, and the flesh inside was visibly turning pale, then continuing to change to dark green, before rapidly blackening.

Soon, his flesh rotted away, the intense pain making him scream in utterly miserable agony.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!"

The Dragon King and Bailian looked at him, but soon, he wasn't the only one screaming.

Nearly half the team developed identical symptoms.

Large areas of corrosion and ulceration appeared on their bodies, soon revealing bone, with the injuries continuing to spread.

"It's poison!"

Cold sweat dripped from Bailian's forehead. "Everyone who made contact with those soldiers has been severely poisoned!"

Some pirates couldn't endure it anymore, drawing knives to cut away the corroded flesh from their arms, abdomens, and thighs.

Those who acted quickly could manage, but some had injuries too severe to completely remove.

Moreover, in this environment filled with toxic miasma and extreme cold, even exposing large wounds was certain death, let alone severing limbs!

The worst part was, the Tianlong Pirate Crew had zero intelligence about their hidden enemy.

Yet all their information had already been transmitted to Helshest's data system in the first moments.

Within the toxic miasma, Helshest remained as cold as a machine.

He suddenly reached up and lifted the bottom of his gas mask, revealing his lower jaw.

It was a half-rotted, horrifying face with pale teeth exposed, even lacking lips.

Yet he opened that demon-like mouth and took deep breaths of the dark green terrifying miasma.

[Hell Horse] Helshest, the deity representing plague in Norse mythology.

Helshest lived up to his name—his ability was poison, the most terrifying deadly poison.

His ability was called [Spreading Plague].

He himself was a massive source of plague.

And he could devour all toxins in the world, making them his own.

That's why when he appeared on the Mist Valley battlefield, his ability reached its ultimate enhancement.

This was also why General Huo En was certain he alone could wipe out the entire Tianlong Pirate Crew.

The superhuman ability index was sometimes just a number.

The pitiful pirates, in their eyes, were merely beggars of the sea.

They lacked the most advanced weapons and equipment, and had no powerful intelligence system.

In such a lopsided matchup, he didn't know how Helshest could possibly lose.

Helshest absorbed the dense toxic miasma around him.

Soon, he excreted even purer toxins refined through his pores, releasing them into the surroundings through the exhaust ports of his specially designed combat suit.

Before long, his entire surroundings were filled with this disgusting poisonous gas that could easily kill whales.

That poisonous gas rapidly condensed into form, becoming human shapes identical to himself.

[Calamity Legion].

As long as he remained on this land, he could continuously obtain the purest toxins and infinitely summon these calamity soldiers.

They themselves possessed formidable combat power.

Most terrifyingly, their entire bodies carried deadly toxins.

With the Tianlong Pirate Crew's shoddy equipment, they couldn't withstand its corrosion at all.

Just one hit was almost certainly a death sentence!

On the Tianlong Pirate Crew's side, they had already suffered casualties without even seeing their enemy's appearance.

Those poisoned endured bone-deep pain, even knowing they couldn't survive, they still cut away the corroded parts.

But after cutting them off, they would quickly die anyway.

The Dragon King raged, roaring furiously from his mouth.

Black supernatural energy light shimmered around him, and moments later, another identical Diamond Armor Dragon emerged from that black light!

Doppelganger ability [Mirage Dragon]!

The two giant dragons stood back-to-back, their long bodies stretching forward as they spewed slender black flames!

The flames stretched nearly a kilometer long, instantly incinerating the toxic miasma and calamity soldiers ahead into ash.

The two dragons rotated, clearing a kilometer-radius blank zone around them as the center in less than ten seconds.
