Chapter 2116
James said, “By the way, do your best to train my army. I’ll be leaving everything in your hands. Help me create an invincible
army.”
Sophie said smilingly, “Don’t worry, leave everything to me. There are many low-ranking spiritual berries in the Celestial Abode,
and they are totally compatible with your army. Soon, an invincible army will be born.”
Hearing this, James was at ease.
Then, he turned to leave the Celestial Abode. When he reappeared, he was back in the dense. forest surrounding Mount Bane.
After he returned the Celestial Abode into the shape of a ring, he left the forest.
Since the battle would only take place in three days, he did not head to Bane City. Instead, he headed to a mall in a nearby
human city in search of a power bank to charge his phone.
Then, he logged into the Martial Arts Forum and scrolled through the news.
A month had passed since the black rain’s first appearance. Since he had remained in closed- door meditation during that time,
he had no idea what was going on outside. After logging into the Martial Arts Forum and scrolling through the news, he was
utterly stunned.
The black rain had brought about death and destruction at such a scale that he could not believe what he had just read.
As the black rain swept through the globe, there were crop failures all over the world. Besides, as the soil was now contaminated
by unknown viruses, they were no longer suitable for agricultural purposes. This caused the price of food to skyrocket in just a
month. Not only that, but approximately 300 million people succumbed to the natural catastrophe. The mortuaries were at full
capacity, and bodies were sprawled all over the streets. In short, Earth had fallen into disarray.
The only thing worth celebrating was that a certain portion of the human population had developed an immunity to the virus.
Then, their bodies mutated, allowing them to gain enormous power. Besides, as the cultivation methods were made known to the
entire world, some earthlings had become martial artists. Though they were weak at the moment, this situation was only
temporary. With time, the earthlings would emerge as a force to be reckoned with.
Those who perished were weak and purposeless. Only those who survived would become true warriors.
After reading the news, James murmured, “It appears that death is inevitable. I can only pray that the earthlings can adapt to the
new environment.”
James continued scrolling through the news.
Over the past month, many animals had mutated and acquired strength that was equivalent to a Herculean. As they obtained
consciousness, they decided against clashing with the humans and instead entered the pristine forests in search of providence.
Of course, some mutated animals did not obtain consciousness and slaughtered many innocent lives.
Under the leadership of the Omniscient Deity, the earthlings had become annihilating these mutated animals.
Apart from this, James’ coming battle with Magnus was also a hot topic.
This battle concerned the glory of the earthlings. Besides, if James was defeated, he would probably lose his life. When that
happened, Thea would certainly be involved as well. Earth would lose two of her greatest fighters. If the Outsiders chose to strike
Earth then, the earthlings would not stand a chance against them.
“I really hope James will win.”
“Sigh... It’s impossible. The power disparity between them is too great. There’s no way James can win.”
“Perhaps there’ll be a miracle.”
Many interacted on the forum.
Upon seeing this, James clenched his fists and said with determination, “I won’t let you down. I’ll defeat Magnus and let the
Outsiders know that we aren’t a pushover.”
