Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2602  The Nest of Disaster

"Charge! Let's continue!"

The captain of the Dark Clan War Knights, upon seeing the Bone Dragon's strike land successfully, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his eyes. Swinging his knight's long sword, he led the Bone Dragon squad in a few loops in the air before launching another aerial assault towards the area densely packed with Disaster creatures.

Fang Heng quickly realized that the Disaster creatures had a huge weakness: they lacked any means of dealing with flying units!

Against the massive flying Bone Dragons, they had no way to retaliate and could only passively take hit after hit.

The battlefield shifted in an instant!

The Bone Dragon knights, with their corrosive dragon flame, tore through the battlefield like killing machines, severely weakening the Disaster monsters.

Meanwhile, the ground forces of the Dark Clan slowly advanced, summoning large numbers of creatures to reclaim the territories lost to the Disaster beasts.

As the team gradually pushed forward through the swampy region, Fang Heng couldn't help but shift his gaze to the distance, a look of confusion crossing his face.

It was strange—the number of Disaster monsters hadn't decreased at all. They kept emerging from the distance and continuously joined the battle, and their speed seemed to have increased.

Could these bizarre creatures truly be endless?

Huh?

Suddenly, Fang Heng furrowed his brow.

What was that?

Fang Heng raised his head and looked into the distance, where a towering life form appeared on the ground, shrouded in white fog.

It resembled a flesh cocoon, similar to the ones formed during zombie cloning procedures.

Fang Heng controlled the Bone Dragon to move slowly forward.

Upon closer inspection, the dark red flesh cocoon creature seemed to grow like a tumor on the corrupted earth. It pulsated rhythmically with each breath, and numerous strange, blood vessel-like threads connected it to the decaying ground.

A strange feeling stirred in Fang Heng's heart.

It seemed that this flesh cocoon was absorbing the power of the earth.

Huh?!

Fang Heng's pupils constricted!

He saw newly born Disaster creatures splitting off from the flesh cocoon in an eerie, ritualistic manner, as if dividing into smaller parts, and quickly joining the battle at the front line with the Dark Clan forces.

Fang Heng couldn't help but ask, "Kotal, what is that thing?"

"That is the Seed of Disaster."

Kotal also kept his gaze fixed on the distant tumor, his eyes filled with deep wariness, "As the Disaster spreads, the Seed of Disaster will take root in the ground like a seed, continually absorbing the power of the death realm."

"As the number of Seeds of Disaster grows, the number of Disaster creatures will increase rapidly, and their strength will gradually rise as well."

Fang Heng stared at the Seed of Disaster.

From Kotal's words, it seemed that the Seed of Disaster was a special unit that produced Disaster creatures.

"Follow me!"

In the sky, the captain of the War Knights shouted, raising his knight's longsword high as he dove down steeply, aiming at the nearby Seed of Disaster!

"Charge!!"

Whoosh!!!

More than 20 War Knights riding on Bone Dragons whizzed past the Seed of Disaster, sweeping down with a strong corrosion aura!

"Boom!!!"

The red flesh tumor, the Seed of Disaster, was immediately covered by a large area of black corrosive breath. It was rapidly corroded, and in just a few seconds, it exploded with a bang, exploding into a putrid pus.

"Nest of Disaster..."

Fang Heng glanced at the game notification, muttering quietly to himself.

Just as he was puzzled, he felt the stone slab in his hand growing warm.

It was a message from the undead faction.

Fang Heng took out the stone slab and glanced at it, and his heart suddenly jolted in shock.

"Disaster... Ouroboros!"

Fang Heng never expected to encounter Ouroboros again in this place! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

From the information relayed by the stone slab, the so-called Nest of Disaster was none other than the Eternal Disaster, Ouroboros!

Worlds infected by Ouroboros would develop tumor-like growths similar to a virus, which would then spread and proliferate until the entire world was overwhelmed by these tumor-like creatures.

In the end, when all life except the Disaster creatures had been eradicated, the world would fall completely into decay under the influence of Ouroboros.

Of course, the strength of Ouroboros varied from world to world.

But without exception, its power always grew stronger over time!

There had never been any record of anyone completely eradicating Ouroboros.

The only way to survive was to escape, fleeing the world that had succumbed to the cataclysm before Ouroboros fully spread, and evacuating with the surviving people to another world.

However, even then, there was a very high probability that the new world would encounter the disaster of Ouroboros within 1 to 12 months.

Ouroboros was like a virus with an extremely potent ability to spread!

Research was still unclear on how it spread or how it chose its targets.

Because of its terrifying power and infectious nature, Ouroboros was known as the Eternal Disaster.

When the undead council's high-ranking officials saw the Nest of Ouroboros, they immediately sent a message through the stone slab to inform Fang Heng.

Could Ouroboros really exist in the death realm?

Since the conversations in the mirror were inaudible, the high-ranking members of the undead council were now deeply confused.

The teachers and scholars in the council had split into several factions to discuss the matter.

Had the death realm been fighting against Ouroboros all this time?

Or was it possible that the source of Ouroboros came from the death realm?

This idea was quickly dismissed by everyone.

After all, it had been rare to find traces of undead power within Ouroboros in the past.

For a moment, countless questions rose in the minds of the instructors.

Fang Heng, upon seeing the information, also felt a storm of shock and confusion stirring within him.

So, the entity he once fought, who was evenly matched with Empress Persephone, was actually the Disaster Ouroboros?

The known information was that Ouroboros had resurfaced recently, coinciding with the destruction of the mausoleum and the shattering of the Empress's will...

It seemed like too much of a coincidence.

Fang Heng was already starting to form a guess in his mind.

Perhaps the Empress's will had not, as the rumors claimed, dissipated after the battle with Ouroboros, nor had she fully eradicated it.

The Empress's will might still be suppressing Ouroboros through some means.

When the mausoleum was completely destroyed and the Empress's will was shattered, Ouroboros would have lost the suppression of the Empress and thus escaped its prison.

Fang Heng felt that his guess was likely close to the truth.

Even so, he still only had a vague understanding of Ouroboros.

Unlike before, when he had merely intended to take advantage of the situation for some quick gains, Fang Heng now wore a more serious expression. He turned to Kotal beside him and asked in a low voice, "Kotal, what exactly is the Disaster? How did it come about? What do you know about it?"

Kotal pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Fang Heng, what you're seeing now... is the embodiment of the Disaster."
