Chapter 2143 A Battle of Wits and Power

“Who's there? Is it Serpent King? Cout! | want to talk to you!”

Solana still summoned her courage, calling out boldly.

Yet, there was no response. The mysterious figure did not appear. So, she continued her cautious search within

the dimly lit structure of the altar.

Moments later, as she ventured deeper, an eerie sight greeted her. Her heart froze with dread as she felt

goosebumps erupt across her skin.

The intricate patterns of the altar suddenly glowed, casting a sickly light over the surrounding containers filled

with dark, viscous liquids.

To her shock, the containers were not filled with any substance, but with naked women.

They lay motionless, their hair shaved clean, their eyes open in a disturbing stillness. Sseemed lifeless, yet

others bore a faint, unnatural breath that made them appear as though they were trapped between life and

deaths

Was this the sacrifice for Serpent King?

What could he possibly want with these women?

Suddenly, from the shadows, a massive serpent slithered into view, its cold, predatory eyes gleaming in the

dark.

Solana, whose courage had been tested before, now recoiled instinctively, leaping back in fright.

Without warning, the serpent lunged with the force of a thunderstorm, its massive tail swinging toward her.

Luckily, Solana was quick on her feet, and though she avoided the crushing blow, she was caught in the furious

gusts created by its movement. The force of the wind sent her crashing to the ground in a heap.

It was over.

Solana knew that if the serpent struck again, she had no chance of escaping.

Just then, a voice crackled through her earpiece-it was Magnus.

She quickly shouted, her voice trembling but determined, “Serpent King, if you kill me, you're as good as dead!”

The serpent halted, its terrifying eyes narrowing in confusion.

The next moment, a grotesque scene unfolded.

The giant serpent opened its gaping mouth, and from within, a man covered in the serpent’s vile fluids crawled

out from its throat.

His body was slender and unnaturally flexible, his long hair cascading around him, while his cold, serpent- like

eyes flicked toward Solana. His tongue flicked from his mouth, much like that of a snake.

Since joining the Wolf Warrior Unit, Solana had encountered the Serpent Spirit that followed Eve, but this man

seemed to belong to the sdisturbing breed, only with the added twist of a gigantic serpent as his

“steed.

“Heh heh... What do you think?” The man licked his long, crimson tongue, a wicked smile curling on his lips.

“How could | possibly die if | kill you?”

As the man spoke, Magnus’ voice rang again in Solana’s ear. She, in turn, spoke fiercely:

“The Wolf Warrior Unit has surrounded your base, inside and out. Bombers, fighter jets, and multiple heavy

artillery pieces-do you think you can withstand modern firepower like that?”

The Serpent King’s eyes darkened, but he remained eerily still, making no move.

“I'm just a messenger from the Wolf Warrior Unit. If you lay a hand on me, you're declaring full-scale war with

them!” Solana’s voice rang coldly with resolve.

“Our strategist, Magnus, is no saint. He won't show mercy to any life, especially not to the vile, lowly sc*m born

into this world tainted from the start!”

She barked her words with an icy finality.

“Heh... is that so?” The Serpent King’s expression twisted into a mocking sneer. “If you truly had no mercy for

life, you'd have initiated the bombing by now, wouldn't you? Why wait till now?”

Solana’s eyes flashed with a momentary pause, but she quickly recovered, her lips curling into a confident smirk.

“Is that what you think? Then listen to the sounds outside.”

The moment the Serpent King, felt the tremor, he immediately controlled his emotions, hiding every ounce of his

surprise.

In the next moment, a massive roar erupted from the outside, shaking the very air.

Boom! Boom! Boom.

Though the Serpent Altar was situated within a stone building, the sound still rang out, deafening. The entire

Serpent base seemed to quake beneath the force, as if the mountains themselves trembled.

Serpent King’s face turned even more grim, twisted with fury.

“What's going on?!” he demanded, his voice sharp.

Outside, in the camp on the edge of the Serpent base, Mackenzie felt the massive disturbance echo through the

mountain range. Without hesitation, she rushed out of her tent, and her eyes were met with a terrifying blaze.

Through the swirling snow and gusting winds, thick black smoke spiraled upward. In the midst of the chaos, the

shape of a mushroom cloud faintly rose into the sky!

“Report to Mackenzie!” Eve quickly ran over to Mackenzie's side, gasping for breath. “You authorized Magnus to

fire upon the Serpent base. He just ordered a strategic missile to be launched, with a warhead yield of 100,000

tons!”

“What?!” Mackenzie exclaimed in disbelief.

“100,000 tons!” Eve repeated, his voice tinged with horror.

“Outrageous!” she cried. “Does he not realize that doing this will kill countless innocent people?”

Before she could process the full weight of the situation, one of the warriors from Dark Night Island, standing

nearby, displayed a shocked expression.

Rhett, too, had not anticipated Magnus going so far.

Though he wasn’t well-versed in modern military technology, Rhett could tell that the explosion they had just

witnessed could level an entire mountain. Such destruction was far beyond the capability of any martial artist.

For a long moment, Mackenzie stood in silence, still feeling the aftershocks of the blast. But deep down, she

trusted Magnus. He wouldn't act so recklessly. If he did, he’d have no way of explaining himself to her.

Killing the innocent would serve him no purpose. Perhaps this was just his way of attempting to force a surrender

without further violence?

She had always adhered to the principle: Trust those you employ; distrust those you suspect.

Though Mackenzie had never fought in a war, her business experience had taught her much. Through their

interactions on this journey, she had cto trust Magnus, even if just a little.

Five minutes later, the tremors from within the Serpent Altar gradually subsided.

The Serpent King remained silent.

Solana, after receiving his orders, couldn’t suppress his satisfaction as he spoke up with a smug grin, “So,

Serpent King, how does that feel? I'm sure you don’t want all your efforts of decades ruined in one blow. Are you

willing to take a gamble with me?”

The cruel grin that had once adorned Serpent King’s face vanished, replaced by seething anger.

“How dare you?!”

Solana’s words did not falter as he proudly declared, “What’s wrong with threatening you? We could kill you, too.

Do you believe that?”

“You-" Serpent King roared in fury.

Before he could even finish, his body coiled like a serpent. In a flash, he seized Solana and squeezed him with an

iron grip, his voice a growl of pure rage.

“Dare to threaten me?! For so many years, no one has ever dared speak tolike this! No one!!!”

Despite the suffocating pain in his

chest, Solana still managed a ST49

smile. “Go ahead Ki a2, dou

The more Serpent King’s anger boiled, the more he hesitated. That explosion had left a shadow in his

heart.

He understood now that his adversary was no kind-hearted fool. This was a person who would stop at nothing.

As for any greater goals, they could only be pursued once they achieved that dominance.

“I'm saying exactly what you want to hear,” Solana retorted with a smug grin.

Elsewhere in another camp, Magnus stood with confidence, his smile unwavering as he spoke.

“Just surrender now, and promise to assist the Wolf Warrior Unit in bringing other bases under control. We'll
