Exchanging a glance, they both realized what the other was thinking.
Open the altar!
There's a high chance it will unleash something horrific, obliterating the army of Demons laying siege, while also killing the two of them.
But there's also a small chance, it might save them.
On the Mysterious Side, anything is possible!
"We, it seems we have no second option, someone must escape and report back to the deputy director."
"I'll do it!"
The one who spoke was the male agent with a statuesque physique.
The moment he uttered those words, his gaze was entirely focused on the female agent, as emotions hidden for who knows how long churned to the surface.
The female agent, pondering who between them had a better chance of breaking out, had never anticipated such a moment.
Her complexion immediately turned Abnormal, as if she didn't know what to say.
And at this moment, Caluna Demons began to appear atop and below the network of pipes.
They closed in, leaving trails of wounds wherever their blade-like limbs passed. As hundreds of green-eyed mantis heads turned towards the two agents, an unimaginable tide of spiritual Pollution assaulted them.
Yet this "Pollution Flood" had no effect; behind them, blue Flames suddenly erupted.
Silent as if the world were subject to "mute".
Unrestricted supplies of pure Magic Bullets, the cold, ghastly blue Radiance covered the Demon tide with an unstoppable force.
When these two, clearly from an official agency, began to feel the vividness of the world again.
Apart from the maze of pipes smeared with pus and blood and a mass of mutilated corpses, there was nothing else in front of them.
In a daze, a "Yellow Lightning" flashed by.
The voice was somewhat cold, seemingly annoyed, and pierced into their ears.
"Do not open the altar."
"Office romance is forbidden."
...
Inside the ruins, there was an unusual small hill made purely of corpses, including those of the Pla Clan, old-era Transcendents, and nomadic Mysterious Monsters, which stood out starkly against a flying vessel at the top.
The corpse had not decayed into a skeleton but was akin to "waxification", with a viscous layer of delicate and somewhat slippery red fungi adorning its large, drooping head. Massive bone wings stretched out from its back, overlapping each other like a dead "Angel".
Any Transcendent who glanced at it could feel a powerful aura emanating from it, a mix of purity and darkness, yet unrelated to any "Life Form".
They naturally concluded:
The bones were a High-level "Curio".
That's why, at this moment, the battle was raging around the hill.
Over a dozen figures divided into four small battlefields, each engaged in fierce Combat, wary of others. Any sign of one reaching for the bones atop the hill would trigger a joint assault from the other three sides.
And each of these figures was incredibly powerful.
In the dense "Death Breath" around them, occasional Caluna Demons would dart out, clearly out of their depth to join the fray.
Among the most powerful were four individuals.
A Two-faced Clown!
A Big Man with a body covered in Rotten heads!
A flesh-mountain Monster!
A gaunt, Armor-clad White-haired Giant!
Clearly, they came from powerful Mysterious Organizations like Rotten Head and Mysterious Deformed Show.
As leaders of the "first echelon", they were the reserves tasked with exterminating other organizations and scavenging through the ruins.
Their target was the bones that were suspected to be of "Legendary Level", or even more powerful "Demigod Level" Curios.
Amidst the struggle, they too were affected by the "Death Breath".
However, they had stockpiled sufficient amounts of Crystals, enhancers, and helmets. Some even wielded weapons similar to the guns of the Pla Clan or special heat weapons, like an iron rod Inlaid with a gemstone that could emit horrific heat rays.
But greed and the Death Breath clouded their senses.
"Tsck tsck, every single one of them is a mighty Evil Transcendent, no guilt in tricking them."
Outside the battlefield, Tang Qi sighed from within a watchtower atop a fortress.
His location provided the perfect angle to oversee the battlefield.
Therefore, he could also discern what others couldn't, such as the dense Fog Sea surrounding the hill, where an army was assembling - the Caluna Demons, their numbers climbing rapidly, one after the other silently converging.
Using the Death Breath for cover, they stood still like sculptures.
And their "leader", a female Caluna Demon of colossal size with numerous "green eyes" and a distinctive feature on her chest, greedily watched the warring Transcendents through a thin veil of Death Breath.
As well as the bones at the top of the hill, looking like a dead Angel.
Receiving a special "Message", the Caluna Demons continued to arrive relentlessly.
One of them, coming from afar, showed no notion of queuing but instead made its way to the frontlines by leaping across fortresses and platforms. It positioned itself directly in the fourth row, its gaze fixed on a female Caluna Demon ahead, whose abdominal sac was protruding.
This Demon had likely entered a certain "Mature Stage", thereby emitting a biological hormone signal only receivable by other Caluna Demons.
To the front, back, left, and right, dozens of male Caluna Demons from the first to the sixth row grew restless because of her.
