Now the formation pillar was completely covered with extremely complex patterns.

"Such an extremely complex array." Werner was staring at it with a look of shock and awe.

He didn't know what each of these patterns in the pillar did, but it was definitely something powerful.

"It's done."

Grey said, "This array will act as the safeguard against the calamity."

"Is this some sort of defensive array, Master?" Werner asked. "No, this array doesn't have the pattern of a defensive array. It closely resembles a killing array, but it's scattered across the place. It's hard to say if it's a killing array or not."

"You are sharp," Grey praised his disciple. "It is indeed something like that, but I won't spoil the fun. You will naturally find out once it activates."

With a thoughtful expression, he continued speaking. "Also, I want you to bring out many evolvers and help power this formation, preferably 2nd rankers. Only then can it activate at its full power."

"I've placed a conversion diagram inside. It should automatically convert the energy into aetheric energy."

Arrays needed energy, especially the Corruption Field Sealing Array and the Doom Engraving Formation, which utilized that energy to eliminate people. The more energy stored, the more powerful it became.

Grey once again placed his hands on the pillar, and purple-black lightning flashed across his palm before rushing into the pillar.

He also infused heavenly tribulation into his grand array.

This power would strengthen the array's effectiveness by a huge margin.

"Yes, I will do as you say." Werner gave a nod. "But, Master, what is this array called?"

"Hm?"

Grey tilted his head, appearing thoughtful.

And after a moment of thought, he finally answered with a serious look, "It will be called the Eliminate the Chickens Array."

....

"With help from the Formation Association, we managed to fill the Eliminate the Chickens Array quite a bit," Werner explained. "We did meet some resistance, but we were able to continue the preparations under the guise of saying it was a systematic inspection of the formation. We didn't know how powerful it had become, but under Master's guidance, we kept going."

"All of this was done by Brother Grey."

It was mind-blowing to Valeria. She finally understood just how powerful he was. He was not some mere 1st Ranker. How many 1st Rankers were capable of doing what he had done?

[Incredible, such a miraculous array! Just who is this Master Grey? Is this a 3-star formation master?]

[He has to be. Someone who can perform a miraculous feat like this has to be a 3-star formation master.]

[This expert is too outstanding. The way it was worded, it was as if the "chickens" here referred to the High Order.]

[In front of him, maybe the High Order really are chickens. One hundred corruption fields, countless High Order members, all wiped out in less than ten seconds.]

[Hey guys, do you think this array has something to do with the Aether evolutionary path?]

Everyone collectively began praising Master Grey. He hadn't even shown his face, yet the display of his power was enough to convince the citizens of Ashspire City.

They all looked up to this "Master Grey." His name would definitely become renowned across the southern region once this got out.

"Are all of the High Order members gone?" Valeria scanned the area.

She only saw evolvers fighting members of the Interwire Company, the Ardent Family, and some law-enforcing evolvers across the city.

From the looks of it, everything was calming down.

It had gone from a completely unavoidable disaster to something that was directly eliminated within seconds.

She also saw the patriarchs of important families like the Wyneters and the Gravesons standing in the air, far away from her, with stunned looks on their faces.

"Is it over?" Valeria asked herself.

The entirety of the High Order and the corruption fields had been eliminated, but a part of her told her that it was far from over. If she wasn't wrong, the late-stage High Order member should still be in the city, and they didn't know where the City Lord was either.

And her intuition didn't fail her.

Buzz!

A dense amount of abyssal energy abruptly erupted from the Interwire Company's headquarters.

The energy leaking out was so horrifying that the entire Ashspire City began to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

Nearby 2nd Rankers immediately had a change of expression.

Even Valeria's expression turned grim.

"A late-stage 2nd Ranker!" Werner's expression darkened slightly. "Is it that High Order member?"

"WHO? WHO IS IT?!" An enraged voice belonging to Varyn boomed across the entire Ashspire City.

"WHO IS THE ONE THAT DISRUPTED THE HIGH ORDER'S PLAN?" Light flickered and Varyn ascended into the sky. All the drones near the area immediately focused on him.

He stood there with an angered look plastered across his face.

He couldn't believe what was happening right now.

An array that could eliminate corruption fields and specifically target High Order members!

Just who was it?!

He turned to face Valeria, who stood a sector away from him, but with his sharp vision, he could see her clearly.

His higher-up had specifically asked him to take Valeria away. Since this plan had failed, he would kidnap Valeria and immediately go to the Three Guards Province to open a portal.

Once an abyssal creature descended, he would come back and take over Ashspire City!

Varyn took a step forward, colossal abyssal energy surging behind him. In an instant, he appeared right beside Valeria.

And just before she could even react, a sharp punch shot toward her stomach.

However, to his surprise, nothing happened to Valeria.

Just before his punch could land, a golden light emerged from her body and formed a protective shield around her.

"You thought it would be easy?" Valeria smiled charmingly as she noticed the surprised look on Varyn's face.

"You'll have to think twice before you can lay a hand on me~" she said sweetly, but there was a hint of coldness in her words.

She knew there was no way to win against a late-stage evolver, but with her trump cards, she would definitely not go down without a fight.

Just then, Werner appeared beside her. Looking at the High Order member with a cold expression, he immediately unleashed his powers, his body turning crimson red in the process.

A battle was about to begin, one that would shake the entire city.
