Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 431 - 427: Sudden Turn of Events

The thunderous shouts of battle echoed across the battlefield’s edge.

A wave of thirty thousand Realm Lords surged forward like a dark cloud, roaring towards the heart of the Eternal Realm.

Excitement was written all over their faces, for as long as they breached the Eternal Realm’s stronghold, they could complete their battlefield mission and earn rewards.

Moreover, according to the usual inertia of Battlefield No. 1...

The one who destroys the stronghold’s cornerstone would receive even more generous final rewards.

Seeing the Eternal Realm’s stronghold just ahead and so few guards, they cared for nothing else and rushed forward, each vying to be the first to destroy the stronghold’s cornerstone.

In the blink of an eye, the massive force had thunderously landed, charging outside the stronghold.

"Take action!"

Unexpectedly, a booming shout erupted from within the stronghold.

The Realm Lords were startled, their speed suddenly slowing.

"Not good! It’s an ambush!"

"There’s something wrong in there, everyone be careful!"

The leaders of all Realms cried out in alarm, summoning all their species to protect themselves.

However.

No one could have expected that.

Just as they thought the Eternal Realm’s army would rush out from the stronghold, some Lords in their own ranks suddenly sneered and launched attacks on nearby Lords.

"Pfft!"

"Ah—"

Screams erupted one after another, spreading rapidly throughout the ranks.

Several Lords whose chests were pierced widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at their weapon-wielding companions from behind.

The attackers were surprisingly those who were assumed to be dead due to their injuries!

In a mere moment, hundreds of Lords had perished, their bodies plummeting from the air.

"Damn it, there are traitors, fall back!"

The other Lords, with dark expressions, immediately abandoned the offensive.

Yet at this moment.

From the previously silent streets around them, a thunderous battle cry erupted, with countless Eternal Realm Lords surging madly to surround them, a dark mass numbering nearly forty thousand!

"How can it be!"

The Lords of the Realms were terrified, realizing they had walked into a trap.

What shocked them even more was.

A series of prompts suddenly echoed in their minds.

[Attention all Lords, the cornerstone of your stronghold has been destroyed.]

[Attention all Lords, the cornerstone of your stronghold has been destroyed.]

[Attention all Lords...]

!!!

What is happening?

The stronghold’s cornerstone has been destroyed!?

The complexion of all Realm Lords suddenly changed, shocked into confusion by the successive misfortunes.

And at this time.

Within the Ten Thousand Realms’ stronghold.

Bodies were strewn everywhere, and Chu Zhenyue, who was supposed to lead the team to the heart of the Eternal Realm, stood on the battlefield with a team.

At his feet lay the shattered fragments of the stronghold’s cornerstone!

"A bunch of fools, so easily ensnared."

Chu Zhenyue, shedding his previous agreeable demeanor, wore a disdainful expression.

Nearby, another group was gathered a short distance away.

If Lin You were here at this moment, he would surely recognize them at a glance.

These individuals were exactly like those he had previously seen as "dead men," visibly bearing fatal wounds, yet bizarrely alive.

Upon hearing Chu Zhenyue’s words, the leader, a man with decaying skin, gave a sinister smile.

"It can only be said that our plan was very successful, who would have thought these corpses would be so useful."

As he spoke, he and the others began rapidly decaying, revealing from within their bodies a twisted and misshapen form.

They were disguised infiltrators of the Eternal Realm Lords!

Indeed.

The previous assault was not a genuine all-out attack by the Eternal Realm.

Instead, they collected corpses of the Realm Lords and, through some ability, disguised themselves as those deceased individuals, infiltrating the ranks of the Realm Lords.

Their plan proved to be very successful.

With the collaboration of Chu Zhenyue, the leader of the Human Race faction, they finally managed to destroy the cornerstone of the Ten Thousand Realms’ side’s stronghold.

Hearing the prompt of mission completion in his mind, Chu Zhenyue smiled.

Exchanging glances with the Lords in his group, a large number of species were summoned, surrounding the Eternal Realm Lords completely.

"What do you plan to do?"

The Eternal Realm Lords became wary instantly, their expressions changing.

"What do I plan to do? Isn’t it obvious? Naturally, it’s to kill and silence." Chu Zhenyue said with a smile, but in the next second, his face turned stern.

"Attack! Kill them all!"

With the command, the species burst into action.

Amidst the furious roars of the Eternal Realm Lords, they were entirely engulfed.

...

At the same time.

Outside the main base of the Eternal Realm.

The scene was equally chaotic, with battles raging constantly.

Upon learning of the cornerstone’s destruction, morale among the Realm Lords plummeted, and they suffered heavy casualties, retreating step by step under the Eternal Realm army’s assault.

In no time, they were fleeing, retreating.

Unable to organize a meaningful counterattack.

"Damn it!"

Cyan Phoenix’s face was ashen, as he defended against attacks from all directions while leading the team in retreat.

In this situation, he realized he had fallen into the Eternal Realm’s trap, his heart seething with anger.

The news of the Eternal Realm had been verified by all their camps.

They mobilized as soon as they received the news, logically, the Eternal Realm shouldn’t have been able to react so quickly.

Yet now, not only were they ambushed by the Eternal Realm, but even their base cornerstone was destroyed.

Putting these two things together, even a fool could guess they had a traitor among them!

And that traitor was deeply concealed!

But now, even knowing this, it was of no use.

Seeing the situation worsening, everyone chose self-preservation, scattering to escape.

Among the crowd, Lin You, having killed several Eternal Realm Lords, finally found it hard to sustain himself.

"Everyone, come back."

He shouted, summoning all species back to the Origin Space.

Then activated Random Teleportation, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Random Teleportation Ability sends you to any location within the current area.

He was now in the battlefield area, even if teleported to the central zone and encountered Tier Nine SSS-level Lord Demon, he was confident enough to escape without worry.

Swoosh!

A flash of light.

When Lin You appeared again, he was on a deserted street.

As soon as he steadied himself, he summoned his species again, wary of his surroundings.

But soon, he noticed a very familiar terrain—the forest he had explored before.

"Teleported here unexpectedly?"

Lin You’s eyes lit up, his tense body finally relaxed.

After ensuring no one else was around, he sat down on the stone steps beside the street, gasping for breath.

The series of events just now happened too suddenly.

So much that he had no time to consider anything else.

Looking back now, their operation clearly had many issues.

Especially with so many hidden Eternal Realm people within their team, which was truly unexpected.

However, what troubled him the most now was the matter of the base cornerstone.

Without the base cornerstone, the few battle merits he just earned couldn’t be exchanged for the Faith Treasure Pearl.

As a result.

His plan to upgrade to Tier Nine would be significantly delayed, which was not a good omen.

But since things had come to this, he could only take one step at a time.

After resting for a while, he stood up, brushed off the dust on him, ready to check the situation at the base.

Yet at this moment.

A chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from afar.

A large team was swiftly approaching him.

Lin You was inwardly startled, instinctively recalling his species, and swiftly hid in the nearby alley, temporarily concealing his presence with the Power of Rule.

"Hurry up, we need to get there before the battle ends."

Faintly, a familiar voice sounded.

With the increasingly closer footsteps, the entire team finally passed through the street and approached Lin You’s hiding place.

Through the gaps in the alley, Lin You saw the speaker’s appearance; it was none other than the Human Race camp leader, Chu Zhenyue!

What’s going on?

Why is he here?

Lin You was full of questions; he remembered Chu Zhenyue had set out with the team along the way and should still be in the Eternal Realm’s main camp.

Could it be that one was fake?

As if to answer his questions, another voice suddenly spoke up.

"Don’t worry, I have arranged a substitute before setting off; no one will find out, and the corpses at the base have been dealt with, making sure they believe it was the Eternal Realm’s doing."

"Good, that’s reassuring." Chu Zhenyue nodded silently. "We must not let anyone know about our destruction of the base cornerstone, nor let them know our Realm Alliance identity. Understand?"

"Understood!"

After loud responses, the team abruptly accelerated, quickly leaving the street behind.

Not until they left did Lin You walk out of the alley, his expression serious.

Realm Alliance.

These guys were actually from the Realm Alliance!

Lin You’s heart sank; he finally understood why things had felt off—it was the Realm Alliance’s underhanded tactics.

Even more surprising was that Chu Zhenyue was from the Realm Alliance and had taken the leader position of the three camps, his disguise ability was frightening.

They intended to put all the Realm Lords in a compromised position.

Without hesitation, after seeing Chu Zhenyue and others leaving, he immediately mounted the Demon Emperor Dragon and rushed back to the base.

As soon as he crossed the city walls, he saw the ground littered with corpses.

From various realms, as well as the Eternal Realm.

They seemed to have been killed recently, blood flowing everywhere.

So ruthless!

Lin You’s gaze tightened.

Clearly, these Eternal Realm Lords were killed by Chu Zhenyue and his group.

And then arranged the corpses to appear as if a fierce battle had taken place between both sides, creating an illusion of mutual destruction, making it seem as if they were attacked by the Eternal Realm.

This way, they could distance themselves completely.

What a clever trick.

"Quick! The base is just ahead, go back and check!"

Suddenly, urgent cries came from outside.

Lin You’s expression changed, he didn’t linger any longer, and swiftly moved to leave the base from another direction.

Now that the cornerstone is destroyed, it was unnecessary to stay at the base.

What he needed to do was survive these remaining two days and see what the Realm Alliance was up to!
