Chapter 290: Insect Tide

The Divinity's power covered his body, and as the faint light covered him, a warm feeling spread through his body. Following this, his wounds began to heal.

Sensing this, Chen Heng raised his hand and saw that the injury from the Corpse Person had already disappeared; it was like it had never been injured.

However, as this happened, Chen Heng could sense that the Divinity's power once again decreased.

"Looks like this won't last for long..."

Standing there and sensing the loss of the Divinity's power, Chen Heng shook his head and did not know what to say.

He could sense the consumption of the power within this body, and he clearly knew how weak this body was.

This body had indeed already died.

If his soul had not come here, barely maintaining some vitality in this body, this body would have long since gone cold.

Despite this, his body was incredibly weak and was relying on the Divinities' power to hold on.

As the highest-grade item in the World of Gods, the Divinities' power was indisputable.

Even in such terrible circumstances, it could still keep this body alive.

Moreover, as time went on, this body's condition would become better, quickly becoming more like a normal person.

However, this process required resources, while Chen Heng did not have much Divinity power remaining.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng shook his head and prepared to head onwards.

However, at that moment, he paused as he seemed to think of something.

"Wait..."

He frowned as he sensed that something was off, "The power in my body... is increasing..."

From just then, the Divinity power in his body seemed to be slowly increasing.

This did not make sense.

After coming to this world, this body not only did not have any foundations, and it was instead a massive burden.

Just maintaining this body required resources from the Divinities.

However, for some reason, his Divinities' power was not decreasing but instead gradually increasing.

What was going on?

Chen Heng examined his body and found that faint threads were appearing within the two Divinities.

These threads were traces of faith.

However, these threads were incredibly weak and were not solid at all. They were like the faith energy that he had gained from people's temporary emotions.

Nevertheless, what shocked Chen Heng was the number of these threads.

Innumerable threads appeared within his Divinities, and they seemed to be madly growing.

In just a few breaths of time, hundreds of thousands of faith threads appeared.

This amount of faith threads greatly surpassed what he had obtained in the past, even after spending a great deal of effort.

In the World of Gods, he had done much planning, and he had established a territory and taken in refugees. Even so, he had only obtained one or two thousand faith threads.

However, here, even without doing anything, he had gathered hundreds of thousands of faith threads.

But where did all of these faith threads come from?

Sensing these changes, Chen Heng instinctively frowned.

He looked around.

He was surrounded by the city's ruins, which looked quite grand and majestic.

There did not seem to be any life, and they looked completely desolate.

It was impossible that there were hundreds of thousands of people here.

So where did those faith threads come from?

Chen Heng simply could not understand it.

As time passed, the number of faith threads continued to rise at a monstrous speed.

This was not an increase of one or two at a time but tens of thousands.

Even though all of these faith threads were incredibly weak, their number was simply shocking.

Chen Heng could sense his body being filled with power.

As the faith threads continuously increased, a new energy appeared and was absorbed by his Divinities.

Sensing the influx of faith energy, the two faint Divinities became incredibly bright, and an intense feeling of fulfilment came from within Chen Heng.

Chen Heng could sense that as he obtained large amounts of faith energy, the Divinities were becoming more and more active.

He seemed to be able to use the Divinities' power to do even more things now.

However, before he could react, changes began to appear before him.

Some black fog was currently rising up.

In the distance, as if it had sensed the blood in the surroundings, a layer of fog rushed out of the black forest in the distance and quickly headed over.

From what Chen Heng could see, this was not actually a fog but something made up of countless insects.

The insects were not very big—only about as big as a thumb—but they seemed incredibly savage and terrifying.

They gathered from the forest in the distance and rose into the air, looking like a black fog.

Loud buzzing could be heard.

Ahead, the insects seemed to give a signal and rushed forwards. Their target was Chen Heng, as well as the Corpse Person fragments in front of him.

"Were they attracted by the blood?" Chen Heng raised his head as he thought to himself.

This situation seemed quite terrifying.

There were at least millions of insects in that black fog.

Let alone a human, even if there was a mutated creature here, it would be devoured in just a few minutes.

However, sensing the power within him, Chen Heng felt quite calm.

He thought for a moment before slowly walking forwards.

"What is he doing?"

"No way, it's a Ghost Bug horde!"

"Why did he run into something like that?"

Online, there were intense discussions taking place.

Seeing the scene on their screens, many people felt chills and did not know what to say.

The Ghost Bugs were also something that had appeared after the catastrophe had descended.

Not only were they immune to many things, but they were also incredibly destructive. Even against the massive mutated creatures, they still dared to go and attack them.

However, if it was just that, they would not be so terrifying.

What was truly terrifying was their reproductive abilities.

Not only did they have great adaptability, being able to adjust to most environments in the world, but they could also reproduce incredibly quickly.

With enough time, 100 Ghost Bugs could grow to hundreds of thousands in just one year.

The Ghost Bug horde seemed to completely cover the sky, and the horde stretched on for as far as the eye could see.

There were at least a few million of them.

Right now, the only thing in front of this Ghost Bug horde was a single person.

"It's over!"

"Is this how terrifying the surface of the world is? There are dangers everywhere!"

"Wait, what is he doing?"

Discussions continuously happened online before suddenly stopping.

On the screen, the MC and the middle-aged man were both stunned.

Not only did Chen Heng not leave, he slowly walked forwards. He looked incredibly calm as if he did not feel any fear towards the Ghost Bug horde at all.

It looked like he was going to meet the Ghost Bug horde.

Was he seeking death?

A massive pressure swept at him.

Sensing that terrifying aura and pressure, even Chen Heng could not help but feel quite surprised.

There seemed to be some problems about these insects; they were not as simple as they seemed.

However, this was not too important right now.

By now, he was incredibly close to the insects.

Chen Heng silently raised a hand.

Within his body, the faith energy flowed into his Divinities and turned into Divinity power.

Following this, a faint golden light shined out.

Chen Heng waved his hand, and the world before him went through unique changes.

As the whole world watched on, a shocking scene unfolded.

The sky changed color.

In the sky, a faint light shone as a golden sun suddenly appeared.

Light shone out and the ground shook.

Everyone could see that with Chen Heng at the center, the black fog was gradually being ripped apart.

Chen Heng slowly walked forwards under the light, and marks resembling suns appeared in his eyes.

Boom!

Terrifying aura descended and blasted out.

In the sky, the golden sun suddenly fell, slamming down.

In the air, hisses continuously sounded out as the fog began to dissipate. The countless Ghost Bugs struggled as they were exterminated and fell to the ground.

Pitter patter sounds continuously sounded out like torrential rain.

When the golden light disappeared, a shocking scene remained.

The ruins of the city had gone through great changes: Most of the remaining structures had been completely annihilated, while the black forest ahead had been set alight, burning with intense flames.

On the screen, many people could clearly see that there were still many Ghost Bugs struggling as if they wanted to rush to the sky and leave this place. However, they could not break through the flames and could only hiss as they perished.

In the ruins of the city, Chen Heng's solitary figure continued to stand there.

Seeing this scene, many people fell silent.

"What did I just see?"

"There were so many Ghost Bugs; they could even destroy a whole city... what happened to them?"

"Can anyone tell me what was with that power?"

......

"He doesn't have any equipment, so how could he display such terrifying power?"

"Is this the final form of humans?"

...

Discussions erupted across the internet.

Everyone was currently discussing that shocking scene.

They never would have expected such an outcome.

The Ghost Bugs were not weak at all, and once they gathered together, they were an absolute disaster to any living creature.

This was especially so for that Ghost Bug horde just then. If it was before the Era of Catastrophe, it would have been able to easily slaughter an entire city in a short period of time.

And yet, this person had destroyed such a terrifying Ghost Bug horde so easily.

Just what was going on with this world?

"God!"

Many people stared at their screens, passionate looks on their faces, "Is this the Savior you have sent to this world?"

"God! You've finally seen the poor lambs of this world and have sent your emissary to save us!"

"He's definitely the Savior!"

Many enthusiastic voices appeared on the internet.

These people were mostly religious people.

Before the Era of Catastrophe, they all had their own faiths, and facing the incoming catastrophe, they had chosen to put their hope in their faith.

Now, seeing this scene, they became incredibly excited.

Over at the control desk connected to the satellite, the researchers also stared at their screens in shock.

"What great power..."

Chen Heng's actions were being continuously replayed.

This was especially so for those movements when he had unleashed that power. They were continuously discussing those things, trying to find some kind of principle about it.

"He destroyed that Ghost Bug horde in an instant."

Looking at the screen, the person in charge's heart trembled, feeling both excited and complicated, "What great power!"

Before the catastrophe, this kind of power would be unimaginable.

Even after the catastrophe occurred, only those terrifying mutant creatures could do such things.

And now, a person had done it, and in such a shocking manner.

No matter who it was, any human would feel dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

Standing there, the middle-aged man deeply breathed in and said, "Has the data analysis come back?"

In front of a massive machine, many researchers were hurrying about, doing all kinds of measurements.

On the machine, Chen Heng's actions were all being scrutinized and analyzed.

Behind it, there was also a massive calculator that was calculating the destructive power and might of Chen Heng's attacks.
