Chapter 936: Chapter 244: Late-Night Investigation Room Upgraded Again! The Third Room Opens!

However, the Outer Realm demigods seemed completely indifferent to the situation, instead engaging in cheerful conversation on the side.

Fang Ze noted this, thinking it might be Taihe City’s breakthrough to win against a stronger opponent….

But soon, his fantasy shattered.

In just an hour, the news of Taihe City’s great victory was relayed back to the central command.

According to the battle report, when the two demigods arrived at Taihe City, it seemed the city was already informed of the intel, fully prepared for battle, and fiercely resisting.

Moreover, as a frontier city, Taihe City’s defenses were strong. Encouraged by the repelling of demigod invaders from Congyun City, the people and soldiers of Taihe City were full of confidence.

However….. as soon as the two armies clashed, the outcome was decided: the two demigods from Tuoya State personally attacked, and with one move each, Taihe City’s defensive works exploded, turning the entire city into a sea of fire!

The defending soldiers barely put up any resistance before being picked off one by one by the two demigods.

Such a rapid victory directly boosted the morale of Tuoya State’s troops.

Their spirits soared as they fearlessly launched a surprise attack inside the city, starting street battles!

Taihe City’s defending troops tried to resist, but having lost the advantage of terrain, outnumbered, and with demigod random strikes instilling fear, they suffered a crushing defeat!

Thus, in just 30 minutes, Taihe City was controlled and taken. To boost morale, the Peacock God King and the Zeng Family Patriarch ordered a day-long city massacre!

Now the entire army is invigorated. Morale has skyrocketed!

However, upon receiving this battle report, the Outer Realm demigods were not particularly surprised. They seemed neither astonished by the Peacock God King and the Zeng Family Patriarch’s swift breach of Taihe City, nor by the Peacock God King’s order to massacre the city.

Fang Ze wanted to question and stop them, but worried it would raise suspicion, so he could only inquire of Dahei Jialuo in the Late-Night Investigation Room.

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s inquiry, Dahei Jialuo also seemed unsurprised.

He sat on the sofa, sipping the hot tea Fang Ze had conjured, and leisurely explained, “It’s fortunate you didn’t ask. Otherwise, your identity might have been immediately exposed.”

Seeing Fang Ze’s confusion, he explained, “This tactic of demigods violently breaching cities and selectively eliminating mid- to high-level officers is originally one of the most common and effective strategies used by the Outer Realm demigods.”

“During the battle at Congyun City, it was just you and me deceiving them. Otherwise, even with the support of Xida State’s military base, Congyun City might not have escaped unscathed.”

Fang Ze, upon hearing this, was taken aback and committed Dahei Jialuo’s knowledge to memory. These were highly valuable pieces of intel that would greatly aid Fang Ze in dealing with future attacks from the Outer Realm demigods.

Although the Federation might also have similar research, there’s no comparison to the effectiveness of learning through experience and instruction.

Thinking this, Fang Ze asked the question he was most concerned about, “What’s the deal with the city massacre? Why can’t it be questioned either?”

Dahei Jialuo glanced at Fang Ze with his single eye and then nonchalantly said, “Do you really think we’re here to save the world?”

“No. We’re here to destroy it.”

“Since it’s world destruction, what’s wrong with killing those who stubbornly resist?”

“Firstly, it can boost morale. Secondly, it can intimidate the creatures of this world, prompting them to surrender directly. Thirdly, and most importantly… it serves as a sacrifice to summon Disaster Creatures.”

“While summoning demigods requires the bloodline of demigods or faith powers, Disaster Creatures don’t need that. Killing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, can easily summon a large number of Disaster Creatures into the Real World.”

“Using Disaster Creatures to gradually replace the local soldiers is also a common method employed by the Outer Realm demigods in world destruction.”

“After all, local soldiers, being emotionally attached to this world, tend to start doubting themselves by mid-stage. But Disaster Creatures are in sync with us, with only one thought in mind: world destruction.”

Listening to Dahei Jialuo’s dismissive tone when mentioning the killing of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands didn’t count as lives, Fang Ze was so furious he nearly gritted his teeth to pieces.

Fang Ze felt that these Outer Realm demigods were inhuman!

It’s possible that due to enduring reincarnation for too long, they no longer had any concept of living creatures.

Previously, they used the righteous pretext of arriving in a new world to seek Godhood and break the cycle of reincarnation, to help their species return to the cosmos. But now it seems they had long abandoned this hope amidst cycles of reincarnation and world destruction.

Now, they merely seek to drag the creatures of the new world down with them, venting their desires twisted over hundreds or thousands of years.

These demigods, let alone being divine, are unworthy of being called human!

Thinking this, Fang Ze furiously snatched the cup from Dahei Jialuo’s hand and raised his fist to fiercely punch Dahei Jialuo!

He couldn’t reach the other Outer Realm demigods now, but Dahei Jialuo, being a sitting duck, was within his grasp!

Thus, he decided to first give Dahei Jialuo a beating to vent his anger!

At that moment, the suddenly attacked Dahei Jialuo was utterly confused, covering his head and running, completely unaware of Fang Ze’s reason for snapping.

Isn’t this just standard procedure?

Let alone the Outer Realm demigods, even among the Federation high officials, how many truly care about the lives of the common folk? Aren’t commoners just considered collateral damage? Why is Fang Ze so furious?

With that, this chaotic day quickly passed.

After beating up Dahei Jialuo, Fang Ze found an excuse to head to Taihe City to supervise the battle. Then, while arranging city defenses, he deliberately left an opening to secretly allow a large number of innocent civilians to escape.

The good news is that the opening remained undiscovered throughout, so Fang Ze’s identity wasn’t suspected. The bad news is… the reason it went unnoticed was that compared to those massacred, the number Fang Ze managed to save was far too small…

That evening, after a long day’s effort, Fang Ze, following Dahei Jialuo’s habit, asked the Peacock God King to arrange a dark secret chamber for him to rest.

And after having Mei stand guard outside, Fang Ze entered the Late-Night Investigation Room directly.

Tonight, Fang Ze had a heavy task: on this morning’s route while “kidnapping” Dahei Jialuo for the play, Fang Ze realized that the second door of the Late-Night Investigation Room, also the third area, had already opened.

At the time, Fang Ze was both surprised and curious, but considering he had already transcended the mundane tier and gained the people’s prayer today, he found it understandable.

During the day, due to the need for acting and Dahei Jialuo’s constant presence, Fang Ze had no time to check the new space, which led to him having to come to the Late-Night Investigation Room at night.
