In an instant, a thick fog, dark as ink, surged from every corner of Steel City. Like an invisible hand, it swiftly and tightly enveloped the entire metropolis. All buildings and streets were swallowed by the vast fog, and everything became chaotic and indistinct. It was impossible to tell north from south, as if one was trapped in an unknown, bewildering maze.
At the same time, several massive ice mirrors erupted from the ground on all sides. They were like cold, watching eyes, flashing with a dangerous, icy light that refracted the already complex elemental attacks, making them even denser and more erratic.
In the blink of an eye, the previously countable elemental attacks became a torrential flood, surging toward Chen Pingchuan to overwhelm him completely. It was as if the very heavens were collapsing, crushing down on him with apocalyptic force. It seemed all of creation had united to utterly obliterate the "uninvited guest" who had intruded upon Steel City.
