“What should we do?” A voice suddenly echoed in the meeting room. The speaker, a formidable Superhuman, slumped into his seat, his face unusually pale.
[War!? Misty Mountains has actually declared war on the entire continent? Are you kidding me? This is freaking ridiculous! Have they gone nuts, declaring war on the entire continent? The continent is not as simple as it seems! There are not just various Mutant Beasts, but also many great nations!]
“Ummm…” With all kinds of thoughts flashing in his mind, the Superhuman felt a chill rising from his feet.
And right at that very moment…
*Haaa…* Taking a deep breath, Benson, sitting at the head of the table, suddenly turned serious and ordered, “We cannot let this news spread.”
“What!?” As if having heard something unbelievable, one person looked at Benson in astonishment.
“I repeat, we cannot let this news spread.” At this point, Benson explained proactively, “You see, while Misty Mountains have the qualifications to go to war with the entire continent, we don’t. If other countries find out that Misty Mountains has waging war against the entire continent, then our organization will undoubtedly become the first target of the Humans.”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces changed drastically.
However, just the next moment, another Superhuman gritted his teeth and stated, “We can still inform the various countries and let them prepare in advance.”
Saying so, the Superhuman further added in a timely manner, “After all, we are still Humans. We can’t betray our own kind.”
“Betray…” A cold smile flashed on Benson’s face, painting a sinister expression.
The next moment, his gaze sharpened as he stared coldly at the figure not far away who had just spoken, and sneered, “Do you really think that the various countries still regard you as one of their own? Regardless of your will, we don’t have a choice. The moment we sign the contract, we can’t act against Misty Mountains.”
The moment he mentioned this, the entire meeting room sunk into silence. Faintly, some people’s faces grew even paler.
Indeed, it was as Benson had said, the moment they signed the contract with Misty Mountains, they had no choice.
They couldn’t act against Misty Mountains.
With the Blood Covenant hanging over their head, they couldn’t even entertain treacherous thoughts against Misty Mountains.
In case they did, the backlash alone would take almost half of their lives.
More Importantly, their betrayal would be known to Misty Mountains at the first’s notice.
In these three years, many Humans who had signed contracts with Misty Mountains had perished at the hands of Misty Mountains.
The most important reason for this was that they disregarded the contract and leaked the secrets of Misty Mountains to their countries.
In light of this, one could easily imagine the consequence of Root sailing on two boats.
One misstep could lead to destruction at the hands of both sides.
And now, the time had come for them to take their stand, whether to follow Misty Mountains or to heed the advice of the Peregrine Falcons and stand aside.
Thinking this, the eyes of mysterious figures started flickering.
However, at this moment, unnoticed by anyone, one of the ethereal figures had disappeared from the meeting room.
He was Fang, a Superhuman who had emerged from the slums of China.
He wore a pink mink coat, and a smile was always pasted on his face.
He was very arrogant, which was clearly apparent from his wide gait.
After signing a contract with Misty Mountains, under the accumulation of resources from Misty Mountains, Fang managed to step into Tier-3.
Currently, he was a well-known Black Merchant in the Dark World, an advocate of a little-known but loathsome profession.
Right now, with the projection link severed, Fang slowly rose from his seat.
There happened to be a mirror not far away from him. If one looked at it at this moment, they would see a wild and arrogant figure, laughing maniacally.
“Attacking the entire continent!? This is a great opportunity,” muttering to himself, Fang gazed at his reflection in the mirror, unable to contain his excitement.
However, after a moment, as if having thought of something, the corners of his lips rose into a smile as he muttered to himself, “It’s time to check on those awakened Inborn Otherkins. I should be able to fetch a good price for them.”
Speaking of this, Fang became increasingly pleased with himself.
[The Inborn Otherkins we have managed to capture this time are exceptional. Had they not just awakened their abiltiies, I would not have been able to get my hands on them. And now, Misty Mountains needs them.]
“Hehe…” Fang broke into a sinister laughter, seeing another opportunity rising before him.
…
While the Black Merchant was concocting his own plans, the strongest Transcendents of Misty Mountains finally began their true hunt.
In the depths of the North Pole, a place perennially covered in ice and snow with no signs of life, countless Ice-Attribute Mutant Beasts were lurking in secret.
Suddenly, at this moment…
*Thump, thump, thump…* The ground shook as heavy footsteps reverberated across this land of snow.
Looking towards the sound, countless Mutant Beasts were shocked to see two massive shadows emerge from the swirling snowstorm.
They were none other than Old Seventh–Titan, and Old Eighth-Tundra of Misty Mountains.
As Atavistic Behemoths, their terrifying physiques naturally made them unafraid of the snowstorm.
Currently, after receiving some information, they were searching and pursuing a certain trail.
*Rooaar…* Suddenly, Titan opened his gaping jaws and roared in excitement, revealing a set of menacing sharp teeth that made one’s scalp tingle.
“Found it,” mumbling in a low voice, Titan looked towards a nearby mountain peak, his eyes flashing with excitement.
“Where!?” Tundra asked dumbly, somewhat confused.
“You fool!” Sighing, Titan looked helplessly at Tundra.
Compared to him, Tundra was sometimes a bit slow. It was the side-effect from cultivation. His mind had been affected by Ice-Attribute Spiritual Energy.
At this moment, Titan looked towards a nearby mountain peak as the corners of his mouth drew back, revealing a cruel arc.
“Big Guy, why don’t you come out?” Shouting in a cold and cruel voice, Titan slightly bent his strong and powerful legs, assuming an attacking stance.
*Crack, crack…* Immediately, cracks started spreading along the ice underneath Titan as a terrifying shockwave spread in all directions.
Meanwhile, seemingly knowing there was no escape, the distant peak suddenly shook violently.
The next moment…
“Boom, boom, boom…” Accompanied by terrifying tremors, the ice shattered, revealing a Humanoid figure nearly 100 meters tall.
The Humanoid figure was packed with terrifying muscles and resembled an ice statute. Each and every bulge of the muscles looked like a mound.
It was a Frost Giant, a terrifying existence that appeared a long time ago.
According to Golden Monkey, the Frost Giant was a side branch of the Superior Clan— Giants from the previous era.
Those of the Giant Clan were brutal and merciless. They were a species that stood at the top of the food chain, second only to Dragons.
