Core of Evil Fate: The past, present, and future converge into one, invalidating all attacks against your past and future directed at your present self! (When an enemy crosses the timeline to attack your past self, you can follow the timeline and appear before the enemy.)
This ability might not seem to significantly increase Jiang Yan's current strength, but it drastically improves his life-saving capabilities, preventing him from being killed by enemies who might appear from unknown locations with the power to travel back to the past.
In the future, anyone who wants to kill him must first defeat his summoned creatures and numerous subordinates head-on; only then will they have a chance.
Not only his abilities, but his physical fitness also increased by 30% across the board, allowing Jiang Yan to take another huge step forward from his already Level Five peak strength... Eight o'clock at night!
Liyang Country and Nanwu Country are adjacent to Lingzhou Prefecture, and beyond Lingzhou Prefecture is Ningzhou.
At this moment, they were ten thousand meters above a second-tier city in Ningzhou with a population of nearly two million.
The Cloud Ray was covered by a cloud cluster, and a ring of suspension devices was attached to its body, from which hung one-meter-long steel cables.
A dozen meters to its left was the Blood Master, who was carrying a five-meter-wide suspension device in one hand, connected to more than ten steel cables.
These steel cables stretched straight downwards, disappearing abruptly after extending a dozen meters, as if obscured by something.
Jiang Yan and Heijin stood on the back of the Cloud Ray, looking down at the bustling city center below.
It was currently the peak hour for pedestrians leaving work. Jiang Yan raised his left hand, and the star seal appeared on it: "Bart, it's up to you now. Your job is to destroy everything to your heart's content."
"Understood, Guild Leader! I will definitely use two hundred percent of my strength!" Bart's voice immediately echoed in Jiang Yan's mind.
Hearing the reply, Jiang Yan said expressionlessly, "Heijin, release him."
"Yes!" Heijin smirked, revealing a wicked smile.
He held a huge black remote control in his right hand and pressed it lightly with his left.
Click! Click!
The sound of the steel cables releasing continuously echoed below, and a gigantic, forty-three-meter-tall Monster with flames on its chest suddenly appeared below.
Numerous modular suspension devices were attached to its body, connecting it to the steel cables above.
The Weaver of Illusions was clinging to its tail. From Liyang Country until now, it had continuously released psychic energy to cover Bart's massive body, avoiding detection from below and from space.
Swoosh! As the devices were released, Bart's body immediately plummeted.
The Weaver of Illusions on its tail gripped tightly with both hands to prevent being flung off by the strong winds.
Whoosh! Just then, a red figure flashed past the tail. The Blood Master grabbed the Weaver of Illusions and returned to the back of the Cloud Ray.
"Hahaha, it has begun! Let's see if we can completely destroy a city in under an hour!" Heijin laughed, looking at the rapidly descending Monster, jumping around like a monkey with a smile on his face.
Jiang Yan ignored him, quietly watching Bart's upcoming performance.
In the city center, on a massive square—the largest square in He City—many people came here for evening strolls.
A young couple was sitting affectionately on the grass. The girl shyly asked, "Darling, do you love me?"
"I love... your mother!!!" He quickly received the man's answer, but the last few words began to tremble unnaturally.
The girl quickly looked up, intending to pick a fight, only to see the man staring upwards with a look of terror.
Following his gaze, a massive ball of flame was plummeting from the sky at an extreme speed, aimed directly at the square where they were.
Just as she looked over, a giant pillar of fire suddenly erupted from beneath the flames.
Boom! The pillar of fire struck the square, and the crowd directly beneath it vanished into ashes before they could even react.
High above, Bart ejected a pillar of fire from his rear, which significantly reduced his falling speed.
Bang! Finally, he slammed heavily onto the ground. The earth beneath his feet exploded, and cracks appeared, spreading hundreds of meters away.
Everyone within that radius was instantly killed by the shockwave.
The survivors stared in horror at the suddenly appearing gigantic Monster. The massive, fiercely burning flame on its chest, dozens of meters high and seven or eight meters wide, caused the temperature of the square to begin rising.
The rest of its body was encased in a hard, pitch-black shell, with huge fissures cracked open on the shell, through which magma flowed.
"Hahaha! Lord Bart of the Monster Association has arrived!!!" A roar erupted from the flame on the Monster.
"Aaaah!!!"
"How could such a terrifying Monster appear here!"
Only then did people suddenly react, turning around and running outwards.
Bart watched the fleeing people. The flames flickered, simulating a ferocious human face with a sinister grin: "Scream! Screaming also counts as time!"
Inside the fissures on its body, the magma grew redder and suddenly erupted upon reaching a critical point.
Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Massive amounts of magma erupted from the shell's fissures, spraying outwards and streaking across the sky in crimson lines before crashing down onto the fleeing crowd.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
A young man sprinted forward nervously. To his left were two middle-aged men.
The next moment, a whistling sound came from beside him, and a several-meter-wide glob of magma suddenly smashed onto the two middle-aged men.
There were no screams; the two men were instantly engulfed by the magma. This scene stunned the young man.
His face grew paler. Globules of magma continuously fell around him, and people nearby were constantly struck by the lava.
"Damn it! God, Buddha, Holy Mother, Heavenly Emperor, protect me!" the young man prayed while running.
Whether his prayers worked or not, he was the first person to run out of the square in one breath.
A smile of relief appeared on his face. Subconsciously, he turned his head to look.
His steps slowed, his pupils contracted violently, and he gasped sharply: "Hiss!!!"
In his sight, the massive square, which saw tens of thousands of people flow through it every night, was now completely covered in magma.
The magma was up to one meter high. Upon landing, it spread outwards, merging with other lava flows and completely transforming the entire square into a Magma Domain.
Unknown objects were scattered across it, emitting thick black smoke and fierce flames.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The surrounding trees instantly caught fire due to the high temperature, and the sounds of glass, floor tiles, and various other objects exploding from the heat could be heard intermittently.
At this moment, in the young man's eyes, which were crimson from the reflection of the magma, the square had completely turned into hell, and the forty-meter-tall Monster in the center was the demon that brought it.
