Chapter 420 -420-Misfortune? Fortune!
Just as Caesar, Orlando, and the others were marveling in shock, Merlinster’s communicator suddenly let out a rapid alarm.
Merlinster was slightly stunned, then subconsciously picked up his communicator.
Immediately afterward, he saw that his communicator was now covered in densely packed red dots.
Merlinster’s communicator was specially modified.
It had a monitoring map that displayed the real-time situation of every city-state within the human race’s sphere of influence.
As for the alarm just now, it was a warning Merlinster had set himself. It would only go off when disasters erupted.
Merlinster subconsciously tapped on the map.
Then he saw that on the planar map of the human capital, countless tiny red dots had appeared in every direction.
The color of those red dots was extremely deep, almost turning reddish-brown. Among them, there were even several large black patches.
When he saw this, Merlinster instantly felt his entire body go numb.
For a moment, he even wondered whether the apocalypse was already about to descend.
With a trembling voice, he shouted toward Caesar and Orlando.
"Hey, you two, stop standing there! We’ve run into huge trouble this time! Look at this!"
After saying that, he shook his communicator in front of Caesar and Orlando.
Caesar looked utterly confused and could not help asking Merlinster, "Why are you showing us this? What do these little red dots represent? We don’t understand at all."
Merlinster could not help roaring.
"This is the disaster warning system I set up! To put it simply, right now, within a hundred kilometers of us, at least hundreds, possibly even thousands of disasters are currently happening!"
"And among them, there are even several unprecedented super-disasters!"
The moment Caesar and Orlando heard this, their faces instantly turned green.
What was going on?
Was Merlinster sure he was not joking?
This was far too terrifying!
However, immediately afterward, they both received reports from within the Ironclad Legion at the same time.
"An Instance riot has erupted fifty kilometers southwest of the capital. Large numbers of monsters are invading toward the capital. The strongest among them is Level 687, and it is a Lord-grade boss..."
"An unknown incident has occurred at the Lost Grand Tomb one hundred kilometers northeast of the capital. Large numbers of undead have risen from the ground and formed a Death Domain. At present, we are unable to determine what exactly happened."
"A storm is gathering in the sky. It is estimated that the strongest hurricane in recorded history is about to appear. Shelter mode must be activated immediately."
...
One piece of intelligence after another left all three people present completely numb.
Even Caelan in the distance now wore a look of horror.
Was the effect of [Shrouded in Misfortune] a little too terrifying?
If this matter was not handled properly, it might very well flatten the entire human capital.
The only thing worth celebrating was that the range of [Shrouded in Misfortune] seemed to be limited to a hundred kilometers around the human capital and had not affected other regions.
Orlando rubbed his little heart, then said with some relief, "Good, good. For now, the misfortune has only occurred near the human capital and hasn’t spread. Otherwise, we’d truly be doomed."
It would have been better if he had not said this.
The moment he finished speaking, red dots of various sizes began appearing across the entire human race’s territory on Merlinster’s communicator.
Compared to the density around the capital, the dots around the other city-states were much more scattered.
However, they were still continuing to increase.
Merlinster was so furious that his face turned green. He immediately shouted toward Orlando.
"Orlando, can you shut up for a moment? The disasters have already spread to the other city-states!"
When Orlando heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
He had never expected the situation to develop to this point.
Just then, Caesar seemed to think of something and suddenly shouted toward Merlinster.
"Merlinster, didn’t you say you had a way to deal with calamity? Hurry up and think of something!"
Merlinster froze for a moment.
Then he came back to his senses and slapped his forehead.
Right!
How had he forgotten about that?
So he immediately took out his staff and began a long chant.
As Merlinster chanted, the aura of the rules of [Fortune] began to emerge around his body.
However, when he tried to apply the aura of [Fortune] he had summoned onto Caelan, an astonishing scene occurred.
The instant those wisps of [Fortune] touched Caelan, they were rapidly assimilated by [Misfortune].
Not only did they fail to weaken the effect, they instead further strengthened the concentration of [Misfortune].
When everyone saw this scene, despair immediately appeared on their faces.
Now things were truly troublesome.
Perhaps before the world was destroyed, the human race would be destroyed first.
Just then, Merlinster suddenly thought of something and shouted at Caelan.
"Little Caelan, why are you still staying here?"
"Don’t you think this is the perfect time for you to properly tour the myriad races and experience the customs and culture of different races?"
As soon as this suggestion was spoken, Caesar and Orlando beside him instantly lit up.
That’s right!
How had they forgotten about that?
Although the misfortune brought by Caelan’s [Shrouded in Misfortune] state was extremely terrifying, if they looked at it from another angle, what if this misfortune was not brought to the human race, but to other races instead?
Especially if it was brought to the elves.
Wouldn’t the human race be winning big?
Thinking of this, Caesar hurriedly chimed in.
"That’s right, Little Caelan. You can’t waste such a good opportunity."
"You’ve been busy improving your strength all this time and haven’t had the chance to properly travel around the World of Myriad Races. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?"
Caelan’s eyes also lit up.
He suddenly realized that going on a trip in his current state actually seemed like a pretty good choice.
Not only could he relax, but he could also bring some benefits to the human race.
This was simply winning twice.
"All right, all right. Since that’s the case, I’ll go out and take a look around."
"I heard the cherry blossoms over in the Bloom Elf race’s territory are very beautiful. They also have a huge volcano on that island. Why don’t I go visit that place?"
"I believe that with the Bloom Elves’ warm hospitality, they will definitely welcome me very much."
Hearing Caelan’s idea, Merlinster, Caesar, and Orlando could not help giving him a thumbs-up.
Good kid.
As expected of the pride of the human race!
Young people really did have ideas!
Just then, Merlinster suddenly waved his hand and directly opened a spatial rift.
Then he looked toward Caelan and said in an urgent tone, "Little Caelan, you can’t be careless when it comes to traveling!"
"Since you’ve already decided, hurry up and set off. Beautiful scenery is waiting on the road. You mustn’t waste this rare chance to relax!"
"That’s right, that’s right! Hurry up and go!"
"Beautiful scenery and dancers are waiting for you!"
