The news of Enoch subduing the entire garrison that was guarding the Black Hole had spread throughout the entire Arctic Country in just a few days. In an instant, the entire country was in a heated discussion.
When the ordinary people heard that Enoch was the embodiment of peace, they all looked forward to his ascension to the throne.
As for the ministers in the Imperial Palace, they were all afraid that Enoch would return to the throne and settle accounts with them. They were all Frank’s old ministers.
At the same time, Frank’s suspicion and paranoia were getting more and more severe. He was very afraid that there were spies who would side with Enoch. Therefore, he kept suppressing the people around him, causing panic in the palace.
In front of Black Hole Zero, Vincent led the God-Slaying squad to the snowy peak in order to observe the situation around them.
“Vincent, look at the snow. There are so many human footprints, but there isn’t a single person around!” said Angelina in confusion.
“There are also monsters gathered in front of the Black Hole. However, there are no signs of any battles, which means that the people who walked through here did not fight the monsters. Then what were they here for? To enjoy the scenery?” asked Avril as she looked at the monsters from afar.
Vincent touched his nose and said, “What else can they come here for? Of course, they’re here to stop us!”
Teacher Chris nodded and said, “Enoch and Bryon’s army are stationed outside the valley. I’ll inform them to come in!”
“No need!”
Vincent stopped Teacher Chris and said thoughtfully, “Let’s finish this quickly. Even if they ambush us again, they won’t be able to do anything to us. There’s no need to exhaust the army. The army is nominally following Enoch to protect us, but in reality, it’s actually an important capital for him to go back and fight for the throne. Don’t waste it if you can!”
After hearing what Vincent said, Teacher Chris replied worriedly, “Then what if there are people planning to ambush us, causing us trouble?”
Vincent smiled and pointed at Black Hole Zero in front of him and said, “Then we’ll directly enter the Black Hole. No one is more familiar with the Black Hole than us, and no one can defeat us in the Black Hole!”
Teacher Chris instantly thought of Vincent’s terrifying ability to control the power of the Black Hole and nodded with relief.
“Everyone, get ready. We’ll start moving immediately!”
After receiving Vincent’s order, everyone immediately packed up and followed Vincent into the Black Hole.
Black Hole Zero was the first Black Hole that appeared in the human world. At that time, the Human Race did not care about it. They only thought that it was a good place to collect high-level materials and a place to gain experience. They did not realize that it would eventually become a problem.
It was only when more Black Holes started to appear in the Human World and more and more high-level monsters began to appear around the Black Holes that the humans realized that it was a disaster.
After that, the Black Hole was named in the order in which it appeared. The Black Hole that first appeared was labeled as Black Hole Zero. It was not named according to the order.
The number of monsters that gathered before the Black Hole was not much, and their levels were not very high either. It seemed that this place was not the main battlefield for the monsters, or perhaps the monsters did not like the low-temperature environment there.
However, what made Vincent and the others puzzled was that the monsters before the Black Hole did not show any signs of attacking the human world. Instead, they were always entering and exiting the Black Hole, as if there was something more attractive inside the Black Hole!
“If I remember correctly, the Arctic Country’s defense here is the weakest, right?” asked Vincent. He suddenly frowned.
Swire, who was in charge of intelligence, immediately replied, “That’s right! The troops in charge of guarding this place are all old and weak. Nevertheless, there are very few battles here. It is actually the most peaceful Black Hole in the entire Human Race! Therefore, many people guessed that it was because the monsters in the Black Hole are afraid of the cold!”
“That’s impossible! Based on the temperature, monsters above level four will not care about the cold. I have a deep understanding of it!”
Chris shook his head as he spoke. This was because he could transform into all kinds of monsters, so he was very familiar with the characteristics of the monsters. He could confirm that there was no such thing as monsters being afraid of the cold.
“That’s interesting! It seems that there are some secrets in this Black Hole Zero that we don’t know about!” said Vincent with a smile.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a signal flare shot into the sky from behind the surrounding mountain slopes. It illuminated half of the sky.
Countless figures appeared on the surrounding snowy mountains. Every single one of them was rather powerful. In the human world, they were all elite-class superpowered users. They were also equipped with the most advanced psionic weapons in their hands such as the psionic sniper rifles, psionic cannons, and other lethal weapons!
The lethality of this army was definitely one of the top-class existences in the world!
A tall figure walked to the peak of the snowy mountain and shouted loudly, “You have barged into the Arctic Country and massacred our country’s army. You deserve to die for your crimes. Today, I represent the Arctic Country. I am going to execute you on the spot!”
Chris looked at the figure and could not help but say, “Who is this person? He’s just spitting nonsense. I really want to go and rip his head off!”
Swire quickly said, “I was impulsive. That person is Alexander. He is known as the number one war god of the Arctic Country!”
Vincent scanned the surroundings. He then said in a deep voice, “Their ambush is quite perfect. Not only did they accurately avoid the attack range of the Monster Horde, but they also have the advantage of attacking from a high vantage point. If we were to resist with all our might, we would cause an avalanche. At that time, we would only be buried alive!”
“Then what should we do?” Chris could not help but ask Vincent.
Vincent looked at the Black Hole and said, “Attack the Monster Horde with all our might. Then, we will rush into the Black Hole to temporarily avoid the limelight. We will think of a way there!”
“Okay!”
Chris responded. He then transformed into a Tyrannosaurus and rushed towards the Monster Horde. He was the best person for the role. As long as he could fight, whether it was against the army or the Monster Horde, he enjoyed the thrill very much.
“Charge!”
The rest of the God-Slaying squad also displayed their abilities and followed behind Chris. They then charged towards the Monster Horde.
Vincent stayed where he was and covered the rear for everyone to prevent them from falling into a pincer attack.
Alexander, who was at the top of the mountain, saw what was happening and immediately ordered, “Don’t let them escape, open fire!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Countless psionic weapons instantly opened fire. Energy bombs that blotted out the sky and covered the earth rained down on Vincent.
Vincent spread his Flaming Wings and flew high into the sky. He ignited flames in both his hands and gradually spread them into a Wall of Fire that blotted out the sun. He used it to block all the incoming energy bombs.
“Boom!”
When the first energy bomb that struck the Wall of Fire exploded, the flames in the sky seemed to boil, and countless waves of fire surged out.
Vincent frowned. The power of these energy bombs was beyond his imagination. If all of them exploded, his Wall of Fire might not be able to withstand them!
“The Monster Horde has been cleared. Vincent, quickly retreat!”
Chris and the others shouted from below. Vincent turned his head and saw that the Black Hole had already been cleared, and all the monsters had been killed.
“Hurry up and go in!”
Vincent felt the Wall of Fire starting to churn again. He immediately shouted at everyone. He then leaned back and flew into the Black Hole.
Chris and the others trusted Vincent very much. After hearing his command, they immediately turned around and rushed into the Black Hole.
“Boom!”
“Boom! Boom!”
In the next second, all the energy bombs exploded along with the Wall of Fire. The powerful explosive force instantly tore the Wall of Fire into a sea of fire that filled the sky. It swallowed and spat out waves of heat.
Vincent, who was flying backward, used the heatwave to quickly swing himself in front of the Black Hole. He took the opportunity to turn around and rush into the Black Hole. He did not stop for even a moment.
Alexander, who was on the snowy mountain, looked anxiously at the sea of fire that had blocked his vision. When the sea of fire was extinguished, there was no longer any sign of Vincent and the others in front of him.
“Go down and search. Make sure that those people are dead!” said Alexander sternly.
“Yes!”
All the soldiers began to walk down the mountain. Along the way, they carefully examined the snow under their feet. They were afraid that the God-Slaying squad would suddenly jump out from under the snow.
When the army reached the halfway point of the mountain, they suddenly heard an angry shout from behind them.
“How dare you attack the God-Slaying squad and disregard the safety of the citizens of the country. Your hearts are punishable by death, and your crimes are unforgivable!”
Alexander turned to look behind him and instantly saw Enoch. Enoch was standing in his original position and was looking at him with a furious expression.
General Byron, who was standing beside Enoch, did not give Alexander any chance to prepare resistance. He waved his hand and shouted, “Attack!”
Another burst of psionic cannons sounded. Although they could not be compared to Alexander’s army in terms of numbers and power, the soldiers under Byron did not attack the warriors below. Instead, they fired their energy bombs at the surrounding snow.
Alexander did not have the ability to block all the bombs like Vincent. He could only watch as the snow around him collapsed. The collapsing snow instantly formed numerous avalanches and poured down on the army on the mountainside!
Countless soldiers were swept into the valley by the surging avalanches. Some unlucky ones were buried under the layers of snow. They were almost suffocating to death.
General Byron, who had succeeded in just one attempt, turned to Enoch and asked, “Prince, the whereabouts of the God-Slaying squad are currently unknown. What should we do?”
Enoch said firmly, “They will definitely not be in danger. They are probably hiding in the Black Holes to temporarily avoid the limelight. We will first clean up the battlefield and collect the weapons below. We will gather all the soldiers that can be recruited. Those who are unwilling to surrender will be imprisoned in the valley. We will have a long-term plan when Vincent and the others return!”
“Yes!”
General Byron acknowledged his order and left.
Inside the Black Hole, Vincent and the others finally stopped. They were about to take a breather when they were stunned by the scene in front of them!
In the Black Hole world, the number of monsters was ten times more than the number of monsters on the battlefield. They were lining up to enter a void cavern. As for the humans who had suddenly appeared, they actually ignored them and acted as if they did not see anything!
