Rat Nest Abyssal Pit.
A massive hole, large enough to encompass a lake-sized area.
Through the hole, one can see that the pit is filled with interconnected entrances, varying in size, seemingly leading to different tunnels.
Filthy stench and heaps of waste have ford bizarre structures.
In the center of the pit, there's even a towering spire made of debris.
This tower stretches beyond the pit, piercing into the sky.
The pollution here has turned the surroundings into a stinking abyssal swamp, with eternal yellow-green mist lingering in the air.
Even sunlight cannot penetrate these mists to touch the earth.
Sinister, somber, filthy, evil.
You can see countless rats scurrying in and out of the pit, and a vast amount of food being transported into it.
Infants are continuously produced, then sent to dedicated nurseries, where a mass of them wriggles like maggots.
Food piles up around like mountains, allowing these young rats to feast at will.
At the top of the tower.
One can see part of the tower's tip has pierced the yellow-green clouds, allowing a glimpse of the sky's sun.
And here, a great amount of magic power gathers.
Magic power from the surrounding vast area has been vacuud and collected here.
At the center of the magic power cluster.
A phantom of a yellow-green rat silhouette is converging within.
[Evil Rat]
That is his na.
A rat clad in tattered black robes carries a strange, towering scepter to the pinnacle.
Kneels beneath the phantom energy cluster.
"My lord... they, they have sent emissaries."
A voice resounds in his mind.
"Welco them, learn the knowledge they impart, let rats pervade the world!"
"Yes, yes!"
The priest nods.
Arrives at the foot of the tower.
The edge of the pit.
A presence similarly clad in black robes, entirely concealed in shadows, stands there watching.
Dark purple patterns are embroidered on his black robe, with a simple emblem pressed on the robe's back.
It represents the power of a particular evil god.
"Too weak, even an endless number is aningless. Timid and cowardly, without discipline, attempting to let ants bite elephants to death."
He shakes his head slightly, evaluating these rats.
Although these rats do indeed have advantages, particularly their overwhelming numbers.
Of course, there's also the ability to burrow and adeptness in stealth operations.
Yet these traits will quickly put them at a disadvantage during the enemy's organized defense and attempts at counter-attack, causing any sudden raid gains to vanish.
This is clearly not sothing they wish to see.
"I shall select the brightest among you, endow him with knowledge, he will bring more power to your masses."
"These damn little rats, a slight force will crush them."
Another voice beside him says, then suddenly applies force with his hand, producing the crunch of cracking bones and the sound of viscera bursting simultaneously.
He releases his grip.
Foul-slling blood spills out, and a rat completely deford lies there.
He kicks it in disgust into the pit, another man clad in simple armor, scarred all over.
A vertical scar marks his face, his hands wield exaggerated war axes.
"Is your god here simply to let you fight and kill?"
Beside him is a charming, soft voice.
It's a female elf, wearing revealing clothes, gently covering her nose.
"These creatures may be weak, but they also have enough strengths we need to harness."
Just as she finishes speaking, the sound of footsteps moving echoes.
A towering figure departs.
They look over.
It's a giant over three ters tall, obese, festering, covered in sores.
Bottles and jars clink as he walks.
"I will acquaint them with the beauty of plague."
Watching the scene, the burly man also lifts his axe and walks away: "I'll use my way to give them power as well."
The remaining two glance at each other, promptly part ways too.
Though there's so cooperation between the Four Gods, it's rely a fragile temporary alliance.
It's almost impossible to truly unite them.
No entity exists yet to unite them.
Though they all obey their respective evil gods to co here, using their knowledge and power to arm these rats, granting them enough strength to overturn the whole continent.
Yet they employ different thods.
With so many rats, they could be casually utilized, forging enough combat strength.
...
Yongyuan Village.
Kana knows nothing about the coalition of the Four Gods.
Their team lingered in this small town.
"How's the transmission channel?"
"Being fine-tuned, don't worry."
Bobo quickly and decisively activated the teleportation machine.
Instantly, alchemy components floated up around.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Energy transmission and linkage buzz loudly.
Magic power begins to gather.
All the demon scholars of Yongyuan Village crowd around, watching closely.
The only power they've learned to wield is the demon mage's various spells and summoning rituals.
For the first ti, they witness a grand ritual from the outside world, at least that's how it seems to them.
Blue brilliance explodes.
But this is rely a flash.
As the light fades away.
A pile of neatly arranged goods is transported over.
The Night Watcher imdiately steps forward to check.
"Energy readings normal, transmission channel stable."
"Goods undamaged, confird safe."
Bobo nods: "Beginning second experint."
Then animals follow.
Until the energy channel is completely stabilized.
Formally begins use.
With another transmission, nurous Night Watchers and supplies are teleported together, and an energy transmission channel erges.
Night Watchers continuously exit with supplies.
So Night Watchers curiously inspect surroundings, even the teleportation gate itself.
"New mbers recruited on this continent?"
"Should be, always need to replenish fresh blood."
"Going by the channel's updates, the battle seems deadlocked?"
"Probably, we can't ascertain specific circumstances."
The group converses nearby.
The Tower Master and others also curiously observe them, surprised at the external advancent of alchemy technology.
Various supplies are transported over, along with the Night Watcher's professional construction team.
After all, the headquarters' infrastructure is already complete, so newbie construction teams without surface to exhibit talents have joined on the ships here.
Soon, they will rapidly build a stronghold and passage.
Perhaps this could bring so change to the frontline situation.
Having only one attack route makes it too easy to be blocked and resisted.
