"There aren't enough Flesh-and-Blood Beings for all of us, yet four people are attacking one." Wan Tianhong looked at the Monster in front of him, paying it no mind.
"Xuanjian Division, this saves me the trouble of looking for you!" Liu Zhiyuan looked at them with his pitch-black eyes, his tone icy.
Cao Li heard this, the corner of her mouth curling up in mockery, "You think you can find us all by yourself? Are you here to die?"
"Attack!" Fang Wenyu roared and charged at Liu Zhiyuan.
The other three also moved at the same moment.
At the same time, inside the HQ City Official Building.
This hundred-story-high building had long since been taken over by the Xuanjian Division.
The second floor was hollowed out and used as a temporary Command Post.
Inside, an entire wall was covered with screens, displaying the situation on various streets throughout HQ City.
Below the screens, a young man with long black hair was watching the images.
"Zhu Tianxiao in the West District can't hold on much longer. Has Team Leader Zi Wen not arrived yet?" Ruan Meng, the Team Leader of Team Nine and the young man with long black hair, quickly asked.
On screen, numerous five-meter-tall Flesh-and-Blood Dogs were fearlessly and frantically besieging a middle-aged man.
Zhu Tianxiao was the Team Leader of Team Eleven.
Behind Ruan Meng, many staff members sat behind computers, communicating with the city's Awakened via headsets. They heard Ruan Meng's words.
Immediately, one person stood up and quickly said, "Team Leader Ruan, Team Leader Zi has already rushed over."
Ruan Meng looked at the screen upon hearing this and quickly saw a 'girl' wearing a JK uniform enter the battlefield to deal with the large Flesh-and-Blood Dogs.
All the Flesh-and-Blood Beings that had appeared were now being besieged by Level Fives; their elimination was only a matter of time.
Ruan Meng, who was responsible for coordinating the battle, felt no sense of accomplishment; his eyes were fixed on the screen in the very center.
The image was transmitted by a drone, showing the rooftop of HQ City's First Skyscraper, the Central Skyscraper, where a four-meter-tall, hideous and terrifying Monster stood.
'Has the Monster Association still not made a move? What exactly are their intentions?' Ruan Meng's eyes flickered. Gathering so many Level Fives wasn't overkill just to deal with the Flesh-and-Blood Beings; it was to deal with the mastermind behind everything, the Monster Association!
"Team Leader Ruan, the four of the Radiant King's group have arrived below the Central Skyscraper. They are asking if they should attack the King of the Deep Sea." The voice of a subordinate came from behind him.
Ruan Meng pondered briefly and did not agree: "Wait until the others have dealt with the Flesh-and-Blood Beings first. We need to proceed cautiously. Tell the Radiant King's team to guard the area below and monitor the King of the Deep Sea's movements."
Although the Director agreed to let the Bureau of Gods personnel come in and help, Ruan Meng did not intend to mobilize the Radiant King and his team if the Xuanjian Division could solve the problem on its own.
Outside the building, Bai Wenliang was squatting on the ground like an old security guard, drinking tea from a thermos cup.
"Why haven't the Monster Association people arrived yet? Sending over a few pieces of trash is completely meaningless," Bai Wenliang muttered to himself while drinking his tea.
Although he was outside, all the intelligence from the second floor entered his ears without missing a single word.
North District, near the suburbs. This area consisted of old residential compounds and apartment buildings.
Inside one of the somewhat old nine-story walk-up apartment buildings, Jiang Yan stood at the door of the sixth floor.
Creak!
He looked at the seal plastered on the doorway, casually tore it off, and gave a light push. The door lock broke, and the old iron door swung open.
A blast of dust and moldy air rushed into his nose.
Everything inside the house was messy, and the television screen had been smashed.
Jiang Yan walked in expressionlessly. Seeing his home in this state, he wasn't angry; he knew without guessing who was responsible.
'Everything started here, so let it end here too.' Jiang Yan looked at the empty room, his heart stirred.
After saying this, he turned and left.
Walking downstairs, Blood Master and Hei Jin were already waiting for him. The people in the compound had all run to the Shelter... Below the Central Skyscraper, the Radiant King looked up at the rooftop. Although he couldn't see the Monster above, he could sense an extremely powerful aura up there.
Xiang Jing stood behind him, a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "We're here, but they won't let us attack. What exactly are they trying to do?"
"Isn't it better not to attack? We can enjoy the leisure." Salo looked up at the rooftop. With his mental power, he could clearly perceive exactly how strong the Monster up there was.
Lin Le held a cup of coffee, drinking it while looking around, remaining silent.
The Radiant King watched for a moment, then turned and walked toward the opposite side of the street: "Since they want us to guard this place, let's each take a direction."
"Alright, let's go." Salo reached out and tugged at Xiang Jing, who was still annoyed, and then walked off in a direction by himself.
"By the way, is Motley still alive?" Just as Salo hadn't walked far, the Radiant King's voice came.
Salo waved his hand without turning his head: "He's still alive and rushing toward this place. If you're lucky, you might even run into him."
"I see." The Radiant King's eyes flickered, and he walked forward.
On the rooftop, the King of the Deep Sea paid no attention to the four Level Fives below. It sat cross-legged, with the corpse of The youth with a buzz cut placed beside it.
Under the enhancement of the flesh and blood, the corpse had not decomposed or smelled after several days; it looked as if it had just died.
Just then, a sense of being spied upon came from behind it.
"Hmm?" The King of the Deep Sea suddenly turned its head. Behind it, an old man in black had appeared at the stairwell entrance without it noticing.
"Interesting. You managed to sneak here without me sensing you." The King of the Deep Sea stood up, sensing the special aura of a Flesh-and-Blood Being on the old man, but did not attack.
"My Lord, I believe I am the first to arrive. I wonder if I can receive the reward." Bach's gaze fell upon the corpse on the ground.
The aura emanating from it made him subconsciously swallow, his eyes fixed.
His ability allowed his aura to vanish completely, making him like an inanimate object. Although he wasn't as powerful as the other Flesh-and-Blood Beings, he was certainly the best at hiding.
Bang!
"Hmph hmph hmph, I didn't expect this prize to be claimed by a weakling like you. Take it." The King of the Deep Sea gave the corpse at its feet a kick.
The corpse of The youth with a buzz cut tumbled a few times on the ground and landed in front of Bach.
"Thank you, My Lord!" Bach looked delighted, and he reached out and grabbed the corpse.
A white liquid appeared. This liquid soaked the corpse, and in just one second, the corpse was melted by the liquid, mixed into the white fluid, and then absorbed back by Bach.
As the liquid merged into his body, Bach's muscles began to twitch. His body started to grow taller, and his appearance became decades younger, transforming into a middle-aged look.
"Is this power? I finally don't have to be a piece of trash!" Bach felt a completely new kind of power emerging within him, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
Buzz! Black Flames appeared out of thin air around him. The moment these flames emerged, the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees.
Bach felt that with just a thought, he could destroy this skyscraper.
"My Lord, I'm leaving!" Bach felt the power for a moment, bowed to the King of the Deep Sea, and then departed.
