"The door of the ’Red Engine Room’ had been broken through, and a dozen Black Abyss members surrounded the clown, activating some alchemy product that enveloped the area in a pale red light."
"The light did no physical harm to humans, but the space around was immobilized, clearly meant to prevent the clown from escaping."
"Seeing that a terrifying battle was about to break out, Bob should have run away or at least found somewhere to hide, but instead, he suddenly charged toward the Black Abyss soldiers like a madman."
"The Black Abyss soldiers gave Bob a cold glance and threw a fierce punch straight at his heart."
"With the immense strength of the Black Abyss soldiers, Bob would undoubtedly die if his heart was hit."
"As the fist was about to make contact, Bob’s body suddenly dodged to the side. The punch hit his arm instead, instantly shattering it."
"Bob was flung like a sandbag and smashed against the wall."
"What was I thinking just now?" Bob’s pupils cleared as the black energy dissipated.
He had indeed lost his mind, actually thinking about attacking the Black Abyss soldiers!
"Pain suddenly shot through his temple, and then a voice appeared directly in his mind."
"The soul is connected, just think what you need in your mind, don’t speak out loud!"
Xu Yi quickly explained, "Just now, you were being controlled by the clown’s psychic power—it was my oversight, I didn’t expect the enemy’s abilities to be so subtle. It won’t happen again."
"Boss, can you be reliable? My hand is gone!" Bob said with a mournful face.
"Don’t make such a fuss, it’s just a hand. There are plenty of ways to regenerate an arm. If it weren’t for my protection, you’d be seeing your great grandmother by now!" Xu Yi consoled.
"Boss, just let me go!" Bob, looking at the horrifying battle unfolding, felt his scalp tingle and once again thought about retreating.
"Alright!" Xu Yi agreed crisply.
Bob was stunned. How had the devil suddenly become so agreeable?
But whatever the case, it was a good thing. Just as he was about to crawl out from beside the door, sudden fast and dense footsteps came from outside.
Reinforcements from the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization had arrived; there were only five of them, but they were all wearing a higher-level Red Devil armor.
Bob’s face changed slightly. Although he was from the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization, if he impeded the Black Abyss soldiers’ operations, they wouldn’t hesitate to strike him down.
Couldn’t they see that he was being controlled by the clown? Of course, they could. But to avoid complications, they planned to dispose of him anyway.
The Black Abyss soldiers had done so much, would these higher-authority Red Devil soldiers show mercy and let him go?
He dared not bet on it.
The Red Devil soldiers, who had come to support, were, of course, aiming to capture the clown Pennywise, but they couldn’t take any action because another group of people blocked their way.
The leader, wearing black-framed glasses and always with an inscrutable smile, was followed by oddly shaped alchemical machinery, each one imposing.
Bob crawled back in a flash.
"Weren’t you going to leave?" Xu Yi asked "curiously."
"Boss, stop messing with me. In this situation, can I even leave?" Bob was on the verge of tears.
If it had been the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization members, he might have had a slim chance of survival, but the group that had just appeared was clearly the invaders.
They could only leave through the door, and those invaders certainly wouldn’t be stingy and would finish him off as a member of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization without a second thought.
"Stop talking! See that corner on the left? Crawl over there, now!" Xu Yi urgently instructed.
Bob, usually a chatterbox, didn’t dare to talk this time and scrambled into the corner of the Red Engine Room.
The next second, the Red Engine Room shook violently, and the aftermath of the battle swept through like a hurricane, with wild energy remnants scattering everywhere.
Traces of overflowed energy flew towards him, and Bob suddenly realized that Xu Yi had no intention to protect him at all, letting the energy hit him without interference.
He was instantly gravely injured and nearly died.

"You... you!" Bob tried to speak out and question him, but he was too weak to muster any strength.
"Relax, I’ll make sure your soul doesn’t dissipate, and your body retains a bit of vitality. If you, a common person, remained lively and well on such a battlefield, that would be the real surprise," Xu Yi softly reassured.
He couldn’t reveal himself now; otherwise, the plan would definitely fail. In his current state, his ability to hide was incredibly strong.
Bob gradually calmed down. Indeed, as Xu Yi had said, even though his body was damaged, his consciousness was still clear.
Bob was just too weak, not only compared to these monsters with their overwhelming powers, but even among humans, Bob was considered a complete weakling.
To those present, such a person was no different than an ant by the roadside.
Everyone at the scene was engrossed in intense combat, paying no attention to him.
Xu Yi stood by like an onlooker, watching the battle unfold.
The Red Devil’s forces were naturally very strong, controlling blood-red flames like a wild beast of fire.
But the Ring of Destruction was better prepared, with Alchemical Machinery cooperating smoothly, and the unfathomably powerful West, supported by the clown Pennywise on the sidelines.
Clearly, the Ring of Destruction had the upper hand in the battle before them.
Yet Xu Yi knew very well that this situation would soon change.
The sound of thunder suddenly came from outside the corridor; West’s brow furrowed, while the Black Abyss army and the Red Devil’s army did the opposite—their morale soared as they quickened their pace of attack.
A massive figure entered the Red Engine Room, standing taller than the Red Devil’s forces at three meters high, clad in gear just like them.
This gear was different from the others, entirely blue and covered in dazzling lightning that struck through the air, turning the sturdy metal floor black where it scorched.
It was Inason, the highest authority of the Ocean Base.
The reason he arrived so late was to activate the gear he was wearing.
The "Wrath of God" gear, the strongest armament currently possessed by the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization.
Inason pounced towards West, clearly recognizing that West was the leader of the invaders.
The idea of capturing the leader first is similar in both the East and the West.
With the addition of the "Wrath of God" gear, the situation instantly reversed. Amidst the terrifying power of the thunder, West was forced into retreat.
"Boss, I really don’t understand! How could an ordinary person like me be involved in such a high-level battle? Why did you insist on having me come along?"
Bob had never witnessed such a furious battle; at the edge of the battlefield, he felt each second was agonizing.
"No! Being a common person is actually an advantage," Xu Yi replied softly.
Bob thought Xu Yi had gone mad. But as a grasshopper tethered to a string, he could only hope what Xu Yi said was true.
"What should we do now?" Bob asked.
In this situation, even pretending to be dead in a corner was an enormously stressful ordeal.
"Do nothing, just lie here! Something will help us open that door soon!" Xu Yi answered.
Bob gazed towards the end of the Red Engine Room where there was an ancient red copper door, firmly closed.
Doubtless, the convergence of these people here was all for what lay behind the door—the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization was there to guard it, whereas the invaders aimed to seize it.
He really didn’t understand what Xu Yi meant. Could it be that once the door opened, they would have the capacity to join the fray? Did Xu Yi still have some sort of ace up his sleeve?
If Xu Yi was truly that powerful, why would he need a common person like him to enter here?
