A few drops of clear water fell from the air, forming a puddle on the ground.

These seemingly clear droplets, if accidentally touched, would result in immediate and deep contamination.

Whoosh!

First, two slippery and slightly plump arms stretched out from the puddle.

Then, a woman with a fair face and a somewhat plump figure slowly emerged… except, she possessed a pair of enviably long legs.

Due to spatial traversal utilizing “water” as a medium, her entire body was oozing clear water, with damp curly hair casually draped in front of her face.

The chaotic aura emanating from the woman deterred nearby residents from approaching her.

Following that,

One after another, humans slid out from the woman’s mouth.

The Dragon City Team and the Holy City Team, covered in clear, slippery mucus, were successfully brought to Other Derry Town by Maritzis. As for the millions of mummies, they were still stored within her, available for use at any moment.

Owing to Han Dong’s previous request, Maritzis deliberately maintained a distance, pretending to have a normal teammate relationship… In fact, it was a normal teammate relationship, just that Maritzis’s concept of ‘relationship’ was different from that of humans.

Of course.

She herself was also attracted to this strange little town.

Following the streams of aura weaving through the streets, she looked toward the center of the town… From there, several exceptionally powerful auras radiated, one of which even made her feel danger.

The Dragon City Team was equally shocked.

Early on, when Han Dong initiated the “Node War” against the current Pharaoh, Gu Xu realized that things had completely escalated beyond control.

Due to the constraints of the covenant, their team was also directly dragged into Han Dong’s camp.

At first, even Gu Xu was utterly panicked.

But when Han Dong used his special tactics and brought about the True World of Fate equivalent to “Prometheus”, much of Gu Xu’s unease vanished.

What is done cannot be undone.

Since there was no turning back, the most important thing now was to fight for victory in the war.

When everyone arrived in Other Derry Town,

Zhou Miaoyu, one of the more timid team members, shuddered and immediately clung tightly to Xuanyuan Jade from behind, seeking protection… She could sense an aura from the horror world within the town.

Even Xuanyuan Jade,

upon seeing the faceless children playing in the courtyard, the balloon old man floating in the air, and the Nail-People stuck on the windows, also flashed a hint of fear in her eyes. However, she relied on her courage and belief to forcefully hold on, pretending nothing was wrong.

“Monster town?”

Gu Xu, unaffected by fear due to his mindset, wasn’t afraid of the bizarre sights before him.

He even nearly revealed the [Ming Wang Fa Xiang] instinctively, ready to forcibly exorcise the place.

Of course… it wasn’t just the Dragon City Team members.

Even the Holy City Team were experiencing Other Derry Town for the first time.

After all, it was Cass who initially participated in the “Clown Revival” incident with Han Dong, along with Diana from the Black Rose Knight Squad.

Sensing the weird auras drifting through the town, even Dumps became alert, quietly unleashing multiple layers of invisible magic shields to cloak his entire body…

Mia, wearing her mask, adopted a wary battle stance, with one hand lightly resting on the hilt of her blade on her back.

Abe, on the other hand, was directly on edge, his beastly aura enveloping him completely.

As everyone grew tense due to the town’s strange atmosphere, Han Dong slowly raised his hands and clapped them together hard in the air… Clap!

The loud slap noise drew everyone’s attention.

“There’s no need to be tense; this is the World of Fate where I hold shares… The residents will never attack you on their own initiative.

I also have a villa here, so everyone, please follow me for now.

Half an hour of preparation before the war may not be much, but it’s enough for everyone to recover their strength and mend their wounds.”

Han Dong greeted the neighbors as he led his teammates towards his villa.”

“Dumps, Gu Xu, come with me. The rest of you stay here and rest.”

“Hmm.”

After instructing his teammates, Gu Xu followed Han Dong to the true center of the town—the [Town Hall].

The guard in charge of the town hall’s gate bowed respectfully and greeted, “Mr. Nicholas, the town mayor is waiting for you in the hall… The thing on your back? It won’t cause any trouble for the town, will it?”

The guard, impeccably dressed in a suit, seemed to sense a dangerous aura emanating from the coffin on Han Dong’s back, reminiscent to some extent of the clown who had once brought disaster to the town.

“It’s fine… I’ll take good care of ‘her’.

She is a key factor in this Node War and very useful to me.”

“Alright, please come in.”

As the ornate iron gates were pushed open from within.

Gu Xu and Dumps, visiting the town hall for the first time, stood frozen in place.

A hint of fear flitted through their eyes… a reaction completely identical to that of others who had visited the town hall for the first time.

The exterior of the town hall was covered with something akin to the ‘Clerk’s Arms,’ reminiscent of ivy.

La la la~

The creepy song of the clerk echoed in the courtyard of the hall.

Not to mention Dumps and Gu Xu.

Even now, Han Dong felt a certain fear deep within upon hearing this familiar tune…

Walking through the garden path of the front courtyard, Dumps asked in a low voice:

“Nicholas, the rank of this town should be lower than the Holy City, right? After all, the Holy City corresponds to the fourth-tier participant teams, and your first True Fate brought you to this town.

But why is there such a strong sense of danger here?

And moreover, it seems that the position of town mayor is still held by an [NPC], with no one vying for it…”

Han Dong shared his opinion, “This place probably can’t be measured by [rank]. According to Fate’s design, Other Derry Town belongs to a special True Fate space that only teams who have passed the preliminary story have the qualifications to come to.

Unlike the Holy City,

most residents here are carefully selected by the mayor from ‘various small worlds’ to be brought here; they are all elites and also have the potential for growth.

As for the position of [Town Mayor], anyway, I can’t get it.”

“I understand… It’s surprising that you managed to get shares in this town.”

“Haha, got lucky.”

With the arrival of Han Dong, the shareholder.

Several arms from the Clerk extended from the walls, pushing open the heavy doors from within.

In an instant, several strong presences spilled out from within, frightening Dumps into immediately covering himself with a Water Attribute Magic Shield, while Gu Xu manifested his Ming Wang Fa Xiang straight away.

However, Han Dong looked surprised, “Oh! The mayor is really thoughtful, gathering all the Ten Devils together in advance, huh?”

The group of [people] assembled in the hall turned their heads towards Han Dong, revealing their ‘friendly’ smiles.

As the sound of metal pulleys resounded, one of the Ten Devils had already taken the initiative to come closer.
