Chapter 459: Deadly Alliances?!
At the 12th Legion’s base…
Even now, Jack looked confident.
He gently strolled amidst the corpses as if in a garden, sometimes stopping for the “beautiful” scenery of gore. Where anyone else would have been vomiting, he was vibing!
Three steps, pause.
Three steps, pause.
Three steps, pause.
He kept doing it as precisely as a metronome, his beating heart a stark contrast to his calm face. In fact, anyone in his position would have long faltered.
After all, invaders were at his door…

Hundreds of Lizards surrounded the place, their evil gaze locked onto him as if hunting dogs before a bone. They were still scared, but they wouldn’t be for long. And besides…
[Reminder! Host Still Has Scaly’s Blessing!]
[Killing Brethren Even Now Will—]
’I’m screwed, ain’t I?’
That he was, and yet it almost didn’t look like it. A large distance away, a sea of lizards felt like they had entered a nightmare, one that made so little sense they felt insanity creeping.
A lone white lizard, strolling amidst a sea of corpses.
“What is he?! That’s a monster in lizard skin!”
“I can smell the stench from here, yet he—”
“He looks happy?! Look at his smile!”
They had barely arrived when they had frozen like statues. Their bellies had been full of rage, and they had been ready to fight any enemy, but the scene was way too weird.
There was no one there, he was alone, but why did he feel so intimidating?! It felt like they were staring at a grim reaper, one that would steal their soul away with a mere glance!
Had he killed all of those alone? He had to, right?!
But just as most were shivering endlessly…
“Ah?! Aren’t those our men?!”
“He sure didn’t kill them!”
“They died to monsters!”
The 2nd Legion suddenly jumped in realization. Wouldn’t that mean that all of this was merely a ploy to scare them?! An Advisor quickly cried out. “Sir, what now?”
What now? This!
It was time to make a decisive move!
A second later, every lizard held their breath as the 2nd Legion approached the 9th, tensions rising high. Hell, the latter were already growling in a defensive position!
But before any hostility could ensue…
“You’re from the 9th Legion, right? You’re here to get revenge? So are we! How about we cooperate to take this villain down? He deserves it!”
As the 2nd Legion Leader extended a friendly claw, the world seemed to stop. Wasn’t this an alliance?! While it wasn’t technically against the rules, never had it happened so fast
Only a common enemy, Jack, had made it possible!
But just as many were waiting with bathed breaths, it got even worse! As soon as the 9th Legion glanced at the 5th Legion, they, too, approached while shrugging their shoulders.
“Count us in too! That bastard’s been messing with our prey!”
As three claws met one another, it happened!
[Ding! New Temporary Alliance Created!]
[Ding! New Temporary Alliance Created!]
[Ding! New Temporary Alliance Created!]
Was it really happening?! At this moment, countless lizard heads rose as they stared at the messages popping up before them. So many alliances?! How was this possible?!
Even the 11th Legion and the 4th Legion, about to clash, suddenly stopped, both showing the same terrified looks. Others were already colluding?!
The 11th Legion especially felt torn…
“Goddammit! They’re right there!”
“What’s the point of revenge if it kills us?”
“Why?! Why’s this Lizardgeddon so fucked?!”
They felt despair creep in, feeling the madness overtake them. But just as they were trying to glare a hole into their opponents, there was a commotion.
A new group of lizards had appeared?! And leading them was a lizard that looked positively stoned. “Brothers, I feel good vibes coming from there!”
Good vibes? They were about to fight! Yet, before they could retort, the 7th Legion leader gave them a wide smile as he addressed both groups in turn.
“11th Legion, you lost most of your men while fighting the 2nd Legion, all because of monsters. Now you’re here to get revenge against the ones who caused it all, correct?”
“4th Legion, the 11th Legion’s about to attack you, and you’re confused about why they hate you so much, right? That’s because the 12th Legion disguised as the 4th Legion and—”
“WHAT?! 12th Legion?!”
“So that’s why?!”
But before anyone could speak anymore, the ever-so-peaceful 7th Legion leader was already herding them in the right direction. “Now, wanna kill the 12th Legion?”
And before long…
[Ding! New Temporary Alliance Created!]
[Ding! New Temporary Alliance Created!]
[Ding! New Temporary Alliance Created!]
All across the Lizardgeddon, anyone not involved was seriously freaking out! How could there be so many alliances?! Didn’t this mean everyone had allied already?!
But little did they know… that they all shared a common goal!
At this moment, 6 Legions had already allied against the 12th Legion! And as its members heard that, they couldn’t help but shiver in their scales.
Freezing for half a second, they looked at the horizon….
“He’s going through all this alone?! He’ll die!”
“He gave us missions. Just do your job!”
“Yes. Leader, please survive…”
The few members of the 12th Legion all sent prayers to their leader, not knowing how well-timed they were! After all, the assault on the 12th base had already started.
At this moment, Jack was even cursing.
“9th, 5th, and even 2nd?!”
The first wave had come, dozens of bloodthirsty lizards! This attack was only meant to scout things out, but Jack suddenly felt trapped, all because of that goddamn Scaly’s blessing!
If he killed them, he’d get a huge debuff! If he didn’t kill them, the ones watching would know something was up! He was akin to a magician performing before countless cameras.
No matter how slick or fast he was, they’d figure out the trick eventually!
The first lizard reached him, swinging a claw so fast it seemed to disappear—well, all until it reappeared with an arm bent in the wrong direction, Jack having struck it like lightning!
But a second later, it got crazy.
Attack after attack after attack, freaking endless!
Not losing his calm, Jack counterattacked them one after the other. He was akin to a dancer following the music, if the music was one of blood and mayhem.
Scales exploded, limbs were broken, and yet he kept having to stop himself right before the finishing strike, which took a huge toll on him! But the worst was that they had already noticed.
“He’s not killing?! Don’t tell me he can’t?!”
“What, but he looks so demonic?”
“Yet he’s not killing, look!”
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
At this moment, Jack was living his worst nightmare. A bunch of cockroaches were overwhelming him because they knew his tricks. Before long, most retreated to regroup, leaving a few fallen behind.
But so what if they had lost a few men? The three Legions were grinning! Since he couldn’t kill, they’d easily be able to overwhelm him with their numbers! They’d—
That’s when they froze, Jack’s mad laughter suddenly echoing…
“Hehe, cowards! I knew you wouldn’t stick around too long. Good thing I planned accordingly. Could you imagine how bored I’d be otherwise? But now, I have toys!”
That’s when their grins disappeared as if snow in a desert. Wait, could it be that he COULD kill but simply hadn’t wanted to?! Could it be that they had been wrong all along?
And as they were hesitating, Jack got to work.
A very nightmarish work…
