Chapter 2495  Still Taking Benefits

At the entrance, more than ten Overseers stood in a row.

Three purple-fanged Overseers sensed that something was amiss within the altar and had prepared in advance.

Everyone focused and condensed an imprint before them.

“Buzz…”

A large purple crystal disc materialized in front of them.

With the activation of their mental strength, the disc radiated a purple light.

“Whoosh!!!”

The black fog pouring out from the Great Hall reacted to the crystal disc, hissing and dissipating rapidly.

Fang Heng felt a stirring in his heart.

The White Abyss Overseers had arrived even faster than he had anticipated!

This was bad.

A battle between the Overseers and Pride was inevitable.

Whose side should he take?

If he sided with the Overseers, he would instantly turn against the demonic seeds, and it was highly likely that the Overseers would discover the anomaly within him, which would be of no benefit.

On the other hand, if he chose to curry favor with Pride, even if that side won, Pride would likely offer him no goodwill. He could also find himself entangled in a conflict between Pride and the Jealousy demonic seed later on.

Fang Heng glanced over at Jing Ge’er.

Jing Ge’er was still desperately attempting to disrupt the magic array.

However, the results were dismal.

Fang Heng had already confirmed through his omniscient eyes that the magic array was layered, with the core magic array hidden beneath thick alloy metal layers.

Even he couldn’t break through in a short amount of time.

Given this, it was better not to help anyone and to make a quick escape to seize opportunities elsewhere!

“Let’s go, Simone!”

With clarity in his mind, Fang Heng didn’t hesitate. He quickly moved to Simone’s side, gently patted his shoulder, and together they dashed towards the exit.

The other competitors in the hall were also fleeing, while Zhuang Yufei, along with two other demonic seeds, targeted Xiao Wudao and his group.

Zhuang Yufei realized that Xiao Wudao was no weakling.

Taking advantage of the White Abyss Overseers dispersing the black fog outside, she aimed to eliminate them first to avoid future complications.

Xiao Wudao’s group looked grim, feeling the pressure but having no other option but to brace themselves and fight back.

Boom!!!

Under the onslaught of the polluted black fog, Xiao Wudao was gradually pushed into a corner!

Fortunately, his presence had drawn the attention of the demonic seeds, giving other trapped competitors a chance to escape the ritual domain.

Fang Heng blended quietly into the crowd.

The three purple-fanged Overseers did not stop the fleeing individuals but instead solemnly instructed, “Everyone must be checked before leaving the underground domain to prevent demonic seed pollution.”

“Yes!”

The two blue-fanged Overseers responded in unison, moving to organize the escapees for pollution checks.

Many were already injured from the earlier battle.

Just as the group felt they had narrowly escaped danger, they suddenly spotted Fang Heng among them, and their faces turned pale.

Fang Heng scanned the crowd, his gaze sharp with an unmistakable threat.

Everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to speak.

Returning to the underground hall, several yellow-masked Overseers had already set up detection instruments, quickly screening those who had evacuated from the ritual domain.

Fortunately, no one was found to be contaminated.

“Your pollution levels are acceptable. For safety, we need to conduct more detailed tests and provide potions to counter the pollution. Please follow me; others will need treatment as well.”

The two Overseers breathed a sigh of relief and continued leading everyone to the upper medical treatment area.

Fang Heng followed Simone as they entered the elevator, leaving the basement behind.

The upper levels of the White Abyss Arena remained calm.

Fang Heng smirked slightly.

The Overseers likely had no idea that the lower levels had already been invaded by multiple demonic seeds and suffered significant damage, which was why the perimeter hadn’t yet gone into lockdown.

In a low voice that only Simone could hear, he said, “Simone, I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Mr. Fang… this…”

As they moved through the area, Simone sensed something was off.

Fang Heng had many secrets.

However, Simone had always trusted him and never questioned it.

“I’m sorry for dragging you into this. We’re not very familiar, and you don’t know my true identity, but White Abyss won’t accept your explanation. Based on my assessment, it’s highly likely that they’ll involve you.”

Fang Heng paused, then added, “I suggest you leave the White Abyss Arena as soon as possible and seek other ways to save your world.”

“Thank you, Mr. Fang. You’ve already helped me a lot. With my strength, I probably won’t ever reach the ranks of SSS-level competitors. Once I return, we’ll figure out how to find a safe world to escape to.”

Simone looked at Fang Heng, saying, “Mr. Fang, if possible, I have a request. If you find a way to help our world, please contact me immediately. We’re willing to pay any price…”

[Hint: The player’s favorability rating with Simone has reached a threshold, triggering a special mission-Simone’s Request.]

Mission name: Simone’s Request.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: Simone’s world is facing an invasion of mutant worms, and escaping through the world boundary may be the only option. He will try to persuade his race to relocate, but if a better method is found, he is open to exploring other possibilities.

Mission requirements: Assist Simone in finding a way to combat the mutant worm disaster.

Fang Heng glanced at the mission description.

It was a top-tier mission.

There were no failure penalties.

If the opportunity arose, he could give it a try. After all, he was quite curious about Ouroboros.

But for now, he didn’t have the time to focus on that.

This mission was an unexpected gain.

Fang Heng nodded, “Of course, if I come across any information about dealing with the mutant worms, I’ll find a way to contact you.”

“Thank you,” Simone replied, reaching out to lightly tap the air in front of him.

[Hint: The player has obtained high-tier hidden world coordinates for the Akata world.]

[Hint: The player is now eligible to enter the high-tier hidden world Akata.]

“Thank you. You can use this imprint to find us. I’ll heed your advice and leave here immediately to report any news about Ouroboros to my people.”

“By the way, Fang Bai is actually a disguise I used to enter here… I have another name.” Fang Heng looked at Simone, “Since you won’t need the invitation card anymore, why not hand it over to me? I could still use it…”

“Sure, no problem.”

As they continued through the crowd, Fang Heng took out the invitation card, fiddling with it as they moved forward.
