920 Terror
The appearance of the Witch of Trepidation caused a commotion at the scene.
The current Earth was under the 13 armies' rule, and the governments from each country were restricted by them.
These armies, who had in possession of extraordinary powers, were unrestricted by the regulations of any country's laws. It could be said that even if they were to randomly kill a few mortals, they would not be punished.
Only the killings between each armies' warriors would be punished.
The thing that the Yellow Army needed was fear. This fear did not come from themselves. It was from others feeling fearful toward them. This would naturally require them to extract the emotions of fear from mortals.
Due to this, the Yellow Army had always been the influence that the commoners hated, feared, and were horrified by the most out of the 13 armies.
The warriors from the Yellow Army had always enjoyed massacring commoners and instilling fear into them.
Their general-level warriors and commander were veterans at this.
Take the Witch of Trepidation for example. Although she looked very sexy, alluring, and extremely beautiful, no one would have feelings of adoration toward her. It was because her hands covered with the blood of other humans.
The Witch of Trepidation would massacre ordinary humans in her domain almost daily, and the thing she liked to do the most was skin people and remove their tendons. She was a character who could stop children from crying at the mention of her name.
No one dared to head up to welcome her upon her appearance. Everyone just watched as she entered the hall and arrived in the conference hall.
Many television stations were all doing a live broadcast of the entire conference hall. There were already over 100 government officials who had arrived, as well as over 20 members from the Gray and Yellow Armies.
Everyone present was slightly stunned at the Witch of Trepidation's appearance. The ordinary government officials even broke out in cold sweat, and their stomachs and legs started trembling uncontrollably.
The Witch of Trepidation found a random seat and sat down. A few other members from the Yellow Army ran over. The man in the lead smiled and said, "Madam, why have you come personally?"
"The Book of Wisdom is of extreme importance. Can't I come?" The Witch of Trepidation threw him a cold look, and a yellow glow slowly spread out in the air, exuding a smell of terror. It was the Yellow Army's great skill—Spiritual Light of Trepidation.
The few members of the Yellow Army broke out in perspiration. Not only could the Yellow Army's warriors emit Spiritual Light of Trepidation through their rings' energy, but those who assumed higher positions also had a natural pressure that could instill terror amongst those below them.
As for the government officials who were ordinary people, their plight was worse. The eyes of a few weaker ones flipped back, and they fainted from fear.
A few representatives from the Gray Army also wore solemn expressions as cold sweat trickled down their spine.
The Gray Army's Major General, McGraw, frowned and sighed while saying, "It seems that the Yellow Army hasn't fully given up on this page of the Book of Wisdom. Grade will probably bring forth great bloodshed."
Another Major General, Odom, said, "Hmph. Other than our Gray Army, the people from the other armies are undisciplined and do things recklessly as they wish. If Earth continues to be ruled by them, we may reach the end of the world due to internal strife, let alone if there is a case of confrontation from external threats."
McGraw nodded. "The Yellow Army, Black Army, Green Army, and Red Army are all unstable elements. They are very powerful yet also very temperamental. They should all come under our control.
"Earth will only have the best future under the Gray Army's dominance."
Just as the several representatives from the Gray Army were speaking between themselves softly, the Witch of Trepidation turned, and her cold gaze brushed past the few of them like a sharp blade.
"Do the several of you have complaints?" The Witch of Trepidation said coldly. Simultaneously, a faint yellow glow had already extended out through the ground. Countless terrifying scenes flashed in the eyes of the several representatives from the Gray Army, forcing them to summon all of their wills in order to put up a resistance.
Although they hated the Yellow Army's existence, the Witch of Trepidation was still a General and she was far stronger compared to them. Therefore, McGraw naturally did not dare to be disrespectful toward her.
Moreover, just the thought of the Witch of Trepidation's deeds caused McGraw's heart to tremble. She was a completely lawless character.
Before the 13 Commanders sat down to talk and set various regulations, the entire Earth had been in a state of chaos with battles everywhere. In the Yellow Army, the Witch of Trepidation was someone who was extremely unlawful and violent.
There was once when she had single-handedly killed a modern army comprising of 100,000 people, then she charged into a city and massacred the over one million people in the entire city. Everyone—regardless if they were male or female, old or young—were all executed. Wooden stakes had been pierced through the bodies of over 100,000 people, planting them into the ground.
This witch struck terror into people's hearts both through her strength and her way of doing things.
McGraw McGraw said, "Madam, we're just discussing the topic to be brought up in today's meeting."
The Witch of Trepidation stroked her chin and suddenly said, "Just let me and Grade discuss on the jurisdiction of this page of the Book of Wisdom. Everyone else can all scram."
Fury grew in McGraw's heart, but he still held it in and said, "Madam, the discovery of each page of the Book of Wisdom requires the joint discussion of the 13 armies, as well as a live broadcast of the discussion for everyone to witness it. Unless one party gives up, they will have the right to participate. This is the rule that was set up by the 13 Commanders."
The Witch of Trepidation smirked and said, "The likes of you dare to talk to me about rules?" As she spoke, yellow light spots flicked in the air, and McGraw seemed to feel that the Witch of Trepidation had suddenly become very massive. She was like a towering peak that reached the clouds and that she would be able to kill him with just a stomp.
An endless feeling of terror gushed up in his heart, causing him to break out in buckets of cold sweat and tremble incessantly.
However, McGraw was a Major General after all. So, he continued to firm up his mind and grit his teeth, saying, "Madam, if you wish for us to leave, it's useless for you to tell me that. Please talk to Lord Hui He about this."
Hui He was the Gray Army's Commander, one of the 13 commanders.
Hearing that, the cold gleam in the Witch of Trepidation's eyes burst out. "You dare to use Hui He to pressure me?"
McGraw forcibly said, "I don't dare to do that! But that's how the rules are. Even if Lord Hui He were here, he would have to abide by them."
"Hahahaha, then you can just get Hui He to come and look for me." Spiritual light burst out in the Witch of Trepidation's eyes, and Spiritual Light of Trepidation gushed out like turbulent waves. Yet, they were also very restrained as they struck out toward all the members of the Gray Army present.
The Spiritual Light of Trepidation that was unleashed at full power by the Witch of Trepidation—who was a General—was something that could cause everyone in an entire city to turn into lunatics from the fear. Right now, this power landed on the few members of the Gray Army, and it immediately caused them to be on the verge of collapse.
The few ordinary people next to them were also implicated, and they kept on trembling as they stood up. Their eyes turned white, and their skin gradually started to disintegrate. They turned into monsters that had bodies of muscles, and they let out incomprehensible cries.
These were the Sorrowful Howls Monsters that were driven by terror after being infected by the Spiritual Light of Trepidation. Aside from being able to drive people crazy from fear and suppress one's will, the Spiritual Light of Trepidation could also be used to infect others, turning the infected people into all sorts of monsters to instill horror and panic.The raws for 'Hui He' refers to 'Gray Crane'
