Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: The Counterattack Begins, Nicholas Jensen’s Value in Group Battles

Outside the Shelter, the beams of searchlights pierced the profound darkness nearby.

But the night in the distance was as thick as undiluted ink.

An invisible pressure was spreading from the distant darkness.

It was as if something utterly terrifying was awakening, gathering, causing everyone’s heart to clench unconsciously.

In response to Seraphina Sullivan’s question, Dustin Sullivan shook his head, his expression grave. "The specific reason is still unclear. But I’ve thought it over carefully. Coco’s prophetic item is rarely wrong. The ’last day’ it predicted might not refer to the start of the tide, but rather... the moment the crisis reaches its peak, its most dangerous point."

Seraphina Sullivan’s face fell instantly. "You mean this disaster isn’t a sudden cataclysm, but a continuous process? We’re facing the prelude to the tide right now, and the real test might not even arrive until tomorrow?"

Dustin Sullivan nodded silently. This unspoken confirmation made the hearts of the few Players nearby who overheard their conversation sink.

A sustained disaster meant an unprecedented drain on willpower, stamina, and resources.

Just then, Drake Hayes, who was standing at the forefront and staring intently into the distance, suddenly let out a loud warning:

"Monsters are here! All hands, on alert—!"

Seraphina Sullivan stared intently in the direction Drake Hayes had indicated.

Outside the Fireseed Shelter, all the searchlights atop the twelve massive stone pillars and on the Wall instantly powered up to maximum.

Several incredibly thick beams of light tore through the darkness, instantly illuminating the distance!

The scene revealed by the light made the scalps of everyone on the Shelter’s Wall tingle, their breath catching in their throats!

As far as the eye could see, the ground was completely covered by a writhing "black tide."

It was a vanguard torrent composed of countless Night Rats and Night Worms, packed together in a dense, teeming mass.

Their crimson eyes merged into a terrifying sea of red light in the darkness, and they let out deafening, bizarre "SKREEE" sounds.

These monsters launched a suicidal charge toward the Shelter, completely disregarding their own lives!

And this was just the vanguard on the ground.

The sky above was similarly shrouded by oppressive shadows.

Countless Night Bats, Night Demon Moths, and other, even more bizarre flying monsters with flapping wings or leathery membranes swarmed toward the Shelter like a gathering storm cloud, blotting out the sky!

The drone of flapping wings mixed with sharp screeches, forming a storm of noise.

This scene, like a scroll painting of hell, made everyone on the Wall—be they battle-hardened Genetic Warriors or Players who had cleared several dungeons—feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Even the usually stoic Drake Hayes couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

"This time... how is the scale of the night tide so massive?! This... This isn’t right at all!"

The number of monsters before them far exceeded any tide in recorded history!

However, reality didn’t grant Drake Hayes any more time to think.

The counterattack began in an instant!

VMMMM—!

Outside the Fireseed Shelter, the twelve previously silent, giant stone pillars lit up once more. At their peaks, eerie blue arcs of electricity frantically gathered and danced!

The next moment, countless condensed blue beams shot out like Mjolnir, carrying an aura of destruction as they targeted the densest areas of the monster wave!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of thunderous explosions rang out.

Each time a blue beam struck, it cleared a temporary vacuum in the tide of rats or the swarm of flying monsters.

When a string of exclamations came from her other side, from Nicholas Jensen: 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
