The story opened with a loud explosion and aircrafts flying towards the battlefield. Monsters wreak havoc in the city. It was a strange dream. There was a beast so huge that it blocked out the sun and darkened the sky. Yet, it felt like a kindred spirit. A person feels that he's the same being with it. He knew that the beast was him and he was the beast. So, from then on, despite the chaos, he decided that the world will Honor him as if he were a god. He sat on the edge of a roof and looked
down on people kneeling towards him. But behind him is a gigantic monster similar to a dragon. The scene transitioned to a news report on TV. The TV anchor reported on the evening news that on June 2nd, 2224, the zoo of Ning City was attacked by a snake more than 100 m long. Experts have not been able to determine the species of the snake. Then she reported that several citizens were able to film the Appearance of a giant whalike beast in the sky north of the city, which caused quite a stir. Then there's a report that
internationally wanted criminals have been loose on the Ning city. This report plays on a TV inside a dirty room where there's uneaten food, garbage everywhere, a bloodied man plopped on the desk. He didn't look poor based on where he was. Also, he had weird displays of different animals in a cage. Something stared at the face of the man Plopped on the desk and he realized that it was his body. But when he saw the mirror, he's like a lizard. He panicked when he realized that he just turned into a sea iguana. This person is named
Chen Chu. He is a sophomore at the University of Ning. He He has been renting a place outside of school since he doesn't like living in the dorms. This guy will also be our main protagonist. He likes cold-blooded animals. He is fascinated by their Vibrant colors. The pet store just got new batches of exotic pets that day, and he was immediately drawn to the sea iguana. It was an amphibious creature. Sea iguanas are generally gentle, but an accident happened the moment it was let loose. It bit him. He raised his other hand which was holding
a phone and hit it in the head. As the sea iguana fell down, it smacked him on the cheeks using its tail. Then in the present moment, he slowly woke up and saw the sea iguana Staring at him. The sea iguana raised its hand because Chu was raising his hand too. He realized that he can control the body of the lizard. It was like he's controlling his own arms. It was similar to the so-called gold finger, a popular cheating software in a video game. He got excited, thinking that it's time for his hero's journey to
begin. The iguana rolled over. Chu wondered what this iguana could even do. He thought of going on live stream to Show off how smart his lizard is or selling freshly dug up abalone or sea cucumbers. That's when he realized he's not meant to be the hero. Because usually when other people get cheats, they are either the powerful villain ordained by fate or they become a tree that grows onto the god of the universe. And as for him, he's just stuck with a little lizard. Their stomachs growled. When he checked the windows, it was already nighttime.
He's so hungry. He realized that he passed out for an entire day. He wondered what sea iguana eats. Since it was a lizard, he assumed that it would be fine with meat. He took out the steak and got into cooking. He showed off his skills and it got the iguana drooling. The iguana happily ate. Chu was glad about his assumption that both sea iguanas and lizards can both eat meat. Out of the blue, a screen appeared in front of him and displayed that after Eating, his clone received five evolution points and his constitution has increased
by 0.5. Then it showed his status. He's at level zero with 8.5 constitution, 12 spirit, and a mind control talent. He has beginner traits with both zero exp at the moment, and those are external aura and key perception. His skills are extremities, boxing at beginner level with exp of 48 out of 100, stepping cloud jump at beginner level with exp of 66 out of 100, and springing leg at beginner level with exp of 3900s. He has a clone which is the sea iguana. It had zero evolution with five out of 20 evolution points. He was
surprised to see his actual cheat. He stared at his hand, and that made him remember something. He remembered his childhood when he's practicing martial arts. He was told that if he only practiced his form without understanding the foundation, he might as well have learned nothing. He was told that the Root of force is at his feet and it should start from his thighs, then he has to control his abdomen and that he should take the form through the bones in his fingers. He told his dad that he is so tired. He requested a break after
standing on piles. His dad refused and told him that it's cowardly to give up halfway. He yelled that he didn't want to be a coward. Then his dad made him run fast. He tripped and fell. He looked so exhausted, but his dad told him to Get up and told him that no one will help him when he grows up. Eventually, he received a box. His father gave him all of their savings because he needed to take a very long trip so Chu would be alone on his own. He was reminded not to neglect practicing martial
arts, and when he's strong enough, he'll be able to see the other side of the world. Then, little Chu cried and asked how he's going to find him again. His dad replied that it will happen when he Becomes a grandmaster, but he knew he might not be there anymore by then. His dad made his way. He reached the door and left. This dude went out and bought some milk, if you know what I mean. Before Chu knew it, a decade had passed. The sea iguana burped. It looked satisfied. He noticed that it ate fast, but
he noticed something. It looked like it grew longer. He checked its stats and saw that it gained 15 points after that meal. Then something caught his Attention. He was shocked when he saw the mirror. His body became toned and it has abs. His body wasn't like that before. He realized that the points that the iguana received reflects on him. He started thinking that it could evolve soon after getting more points. He even imagined it growing into the behemoth of his dream. If that happens, he'd also become a real martial arts grandmaster. At the marketplace, Chu
bought 10 lb of prime beef with no bones and 20 lb of Pork lean meat without bones. The shopkeeper had packed everything and asked him how he wanted to pay. He replied that it would be via QR code. He loaded up his car and closed the trunk. After that, he went back to his apartment a few hours later. He readied the table. Then he served a scrumptious meal. He fed the sea iguana for him to become a martial arts grandmaster. The iguana drooled. It happily ate. He realized that in a lizard's palette, Pork doesn't taste
as good as beef. Also, the beef dish that he served could use a bit more cumin, so he took a mental note to add more next time. After that, the iguana slept soundly while Chu went to the martial arts room. He concentrated as he hit the bag powerfully. Then, the system displayed that after his hard work, his extremities boxing experience increased by plus 5. With his constitution improved, he could tell that even Training progress is faster than before. And 2 days later, he's at the training room again. He was all sweaty and breathing heavily, but
he liked the feeling of getting stronger just by working hard at training. He got into position to kick. It was so powerful that it broke the bag in half. He checked his status again. His extremities boxing is now intermediate level. From the perspective of traditional martial arts, he would have Reached the peak of the Ming realm already. When he was a kid, his father taught him the different realms of martial arts. It was divided into Ming, dark, and transformation. The peak of the Ming realm could make him a top-notch fighter capable of taking on 10
opponents alone. The dark realm makes him a first- rate expert, able to fight a hundred at once. Usually, it is hidden within legendary families. Then, the transformation realm allows him to take On a thousand. They are the grand masters recorded in history in modern times. It represents an unbreakable body only described in ancient texts. He asked his dad which realm he's in. His dad replied that he briefly reached the dark realm. He had a sullen expression when he remembered what happened after that. But before he could finish his sentence, Chu exclaimed that he's amazing. It
made Chu ask if he's one of those legendary families, too. That Question caught him off guard. He sighed. Then he replied that he's just from Luotan. At around dusk, Chu went back to the sala and was surprised to see how much his iguana had grown. One more meal and they would be ready to evolve. He prayed that he wouldn't be disappointed. As the iguana eats, the evolution points rise. It reached 198 out of 200, so it was almost ready to evolve. He couldn't wait to see how the little guy changes. It chewed Continuously until it
reached 200 out of 200 evolution points. The system notified that it had met the evolution requirements. The evolution started. Its arm had a stinging pain. Of course, our boy felt it, too. Then its back hurts because the spikes formed. It was in excruciating pain. It moved around the house and wre havoc. When it was done, Chu was just left laying on the floor. He didn't expect that evolution would hurt that much. He heard a sound. He got Up and went to the room where the iguana was. Chu got curious on how strong he is after
evolving. In just a smack from its tail, the punching bag exploded. He could tell that it now has extraordinary power. He checked his stats. He's still at level zero, but his constitution used to be 28 and it increased to 56. From 16, the spirit increased to 18. Both of his traits exp increased from 10 to 20. His skills such as extremities boxing is at intermediate level with 48 out of 100 Exp. While his steeping cloud jump is at beginner level with 66 exp and springing leg at 3900s. The sea iguana had one evolution with 0,000
evolution points. He didn't expect that when a clone evolves, the main body physique and attributes would directly double in growth. He's uncertain if it increased because his current strength is too weak or if every time the clone evolves his body's constitution doubles. If it's the former, then his strength Will improve at a decent pace early on. But if it's the latter, it would be kind of terrifying. He could tell that with traditional martial arts standards, he just entered the dark realm. When he activates his traits, it allows him to unleash external energy. He looks so
happy when he realized that he's now officially a martial arts expert. But with training, 100 skill experience points a day is his limit. And since the improvements are mirrored to further Enhance his body, he had to rely on the sea iguana. To his surprise, even the iguana can release his external energy. It looked fierce. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on his door. Someone kept banging his door. On the other side of it is an annoyed, muscular man. Chu opened the door. He was still emitting the energy by then. He asked the man what was
up. The man was surprised. He found him terrifying. To him, the kid gave a vibe that he Could crush him in seconds. His body trembled. From being annoyed, he became polite and asked if the kid's place was under renovation. Chu admitted that he was training lately and didn't realize that it was that loud. The man couldn't believe it. He questioned who was training because no training could feel like an earthquake. He tried to peek inside. He saw that the place was trashed. It made his jaw drop. He backed off and told the kid that it
was fine. He requested that he changes his training methods to something quieter, though. Chu replied that it was not a problem and promised that he would adjust his training methods. The man thanked him and hurried to the elevator. The iguana took a peek and watched him leave. He went inside the house. He realized that it was too large now and isn't suitable to be kept indoors. He knew it was about time to release the seaiguana clone into the sea. He drove To the sea. He was ready. He let it out and let it swim while
he waited. This little creature was really excited, as if he was meant to be in this habitat. It dove at once. He activated energy sense. And with the current energy sense, he can cover a radius of 10 m around him. He could sense the animals. And boy oh boy, these fishes looked funky. He was surprised when he saw a fish that had five eyes. He made it his target. He turned to its direction and Swam really fast. The fish noticed the sea iguana. They rested underneath the waters. Eventually, bubbles filled the area as the iguana
ate it. When it was done, it saw another target. It swam to it and the oblivious fish got eaten instantly. After eating the mutated fish, the clone got 10 evolution points and Chu gained plus one physique. After evolving, eating normal food only provides one evolution point per meal, but mutated fish can actually give 10 Points. With these mutated creatures appearing in the ocean and the recent news, he knew the world is far from peaceful. The sea iguana hunted again. This time, it's a larger fish with a long, slender tail. Eventually, the system notified him that
his clone already reached the daily cap of 100 evolution points. He cannot gain any more that day. To human eyes, the ocean at night is cold and pitch black. But through the sea, iguana clones eyes, the Underwater world is colorful and vibrant. As an amphibian, the sea iguana can stay underwater for a long time. But since it doesn't have gills, it still relies on its lungs to breathe. It needed to surface for air every now and then. He saw a crease and slid into it. The spot looks good, so he decided for the sea iguana
rest there. Now that the clone is settled, it was time for him to head back. He drove under the night sky, but he was surprised to see a house and A van. He didn't expect that someone would be living there, and right on cue, someone screamed for help. Our MC stopped the car and waited. He knew to act at the right time. The thugs inside peaked to see if the car had left. They saw that it was gone. There's three men and the kidnapped woman inside. The bald man kicked the man holding the woman's mouth
and scolded him for not watching her carefully. It's because the man didn't notice that the cloth gag fell Out of her mouth. The man reasoned to his boss that it was so dark so he couldn't have seen it when they dragged her inside. The woman was so terrified. The bald man told her to shut up and behave, otherwise the guys would have fun with her that night. Chu walked towards the shed. He activated his energy sense. with it. He could tell what was inside the shed. The thugs had drinks. The woman shivered while the other
skinny man was on his phone. Chu Tried to guess if it was kidnapping or human trafficking. He learned that out of three men, two of them had knives. He knows that it's best to deal with them within a minute. It is to avoid endangering the hostage. He blasted the door open. The two guys took out their knives. Chu immediately went for them. He kicked the first guy. The man screamed in pain when his back collided on the brick wall. The bald man cursed at him and attacked him from behind, but Chu immediately reacted and hit
him on the torso. The bald man lost his balance. The skinny guy caught him before he crashed on the ground, then told him to take a breather. The skinny guy positioned himself to attack while introducing himself as a disciple of Uua Wong Fist Ning Fu. Chu replied, said his name, and added, "Luit, eight extremities boxing." Still at the abandoned house in the countryside, Ningfu made the fist move. One called Two lu fist, but Chu grabbed his arm and was about to throw a punch, but the man kicked his foot and did the move two called
two horses joined Tang. Then he landed a punch on Chu's head. Chu realized that he's an expert. He found his footing, which actually surprised the man. Then he counterattacked using eight extremities boxing move called iron mountain slam. The man crashed on the floor. He was amused that it's getting interesting. He said that he Didn't expect that after he came down the mountain, he could meet a real disciple of Luotan. Eight extremities. Iron Mountain slam is an ultimate move of eight extremities and deserves its reputation. Chu replied that it's a shame. He asked what he meant.
Chu stated that he didn't expect a thug to be halfway decent with Yui Wongfist. He thinks that it's a shame that he's a disciple of Uongfist has gone on a crooked path. The guy smirked and asked Him why he's being so high and mighty when he's just a student who doesn't know any better. He understood something when he left the mountain. That if he wants to get ahead, he has to do whatever it takes. He tried to poke Chu's eyes. Chu instinctively kicked him. He landed face down on the floor. Chu realized that the battle
between martial artists could truly be dangerous. The pressure he felt from him is way more dangerous than Dozens of strong musclemen. He felt bad that his control over his strength is still inadequate. But things didn't go well for those three. He realized that he had to practice mastering control over his strength. His thoughts were interrupted when the woman made a muffled noise. Our boy set her free. He comforted her while she thanked him. He told her to wipe her tears and instructed her to call the police after he leaves. But he needed some help from
Her. He requested that if the police ask about him, she should tell them that she wasn't able to take a good look at him and she doesn't know who he is. She promised that she won't tell. 10 minutes later, the police arrived, but they were surprised when they entered the shed. They saw the woman on her feet while those three were on the ground. After that, a security agency police named Guanqing delivered to the deputy chief the information he asked for. Inside the office of the deputy chief officer, she reported that they were able to
see clear footprints on the broken door. And based on the depth and way the door broke off, someone had kicked the door open from the front, causing the door to fly 3 m away. and the force used was at least 1,000 kg. Among the kidnappers, two of them instantly died and the one left has entered a vegetative state after suffering a major concussion. According to the kidnapped woman named Lin Ranga, the person was wearing a mask at night and she couldn't tell what they looked like. The deputy chief of the security agency wondered how it
could have happened when the most force the king of boxing was able to exert was 800 kg on a machine. In boxing in real life, it was unheard of for that amount of force to be reached. She agreed that the guy's strength is in humans, but she pointed out how stranger things have Been happening lately. Suddenly, lightning struck. They could tell that a storm is coming. Meanwhile, there's a car hidden near the sea. And inside it, Chu watches a boat on the shore. Three men get off it. The one at the center is someone they
called boss, and they were pleased to have made some money. And yet, he spent 1 million on a woman from Bald Tiger. They think it's wasteful. The other man agreed and stated that it took them so long to dig up a sunken Ship and they only made a little more than 2 million. The boss called them short-sighted when they didn't even know who the woman was. He claimed that money will not be an issue if they have her. That made them happy. He asked the man nicknamed four eyes if he had finished the business with
the company. The man assured him that he already arranged a shipping company. They rented a high-end office building for the offices according to his request. In addition to That, he also found prettiest girls for the secretary and front desk positions. He's certain that the boss will not be disappointed. The boss replied that with the underwater breathing ability that he had awakened as long as they find the position of a sunken ship, they can get all the treasures on shore and then they will have as much money as they want. He told the guys to follow
him closely and he will not let them starve. They heard a rustling sound. The boss immediately Asked who's there. Chu came out and stated that he had seen a lot of perverts, but they are a special one. The boss took out his knife. Then he attacked while telling Chu that he had a lot of nerves, but people like him don't live long. Chu raised his leg and made the ground shatter, causing the man to lose his balance. Then he followed up with a punch. Then he kicked the man towards a tree. The lackeyis couldn't believe
it. Their boss had become way Stronger and faster after he got superpower. He could even one fua five easily. Four eyes suggested that they run, but before they could move, they were already hit on their backs. The boss asked Chu what he was doing. Chu replied that he should look at him. Chu planned to test the power of his mind control. He asked the boss what his name was and what he did. The man got hypnotized. He replied that he is Jang Chong Shu and he owns a ship. He Smuggles for a living and a
month ago he got the power to breathe underwater. Chu could tell his mind control is very effective. The man is basically his puppet. The man shared that he raids the sunken ships in the depth and exchanges any treasure he gets to rich folks. The mind control has been cancelled. The man felt immense pain on his hand. He asked Chu what happened to his hand. Chu replied that the man accidentally broke it. Chong Shu called Chu boss and Accepted his reason. Chu realized that the mind control also affected his judgment. Chu suggested that he rest on
the boat first. He will follow after he wakes up those two. Chong Sho was obedient. Chu needed a lot of food to raise his lizard. And since Chong Sho has a ship and often works with rich people, he knew he could get money through his company to raise his lizard. Chu was impressed with the effect of the mind control. There's some resistance When he tries to control Chang, but it's very easy when it comes to the other two men. It made him think that mind control is extra effective towards weak-minded people. They boarded the boat.
A professionallook guy asked Chang who Chu is. Chango replied that he should be respectful because he is his boss. The man politely greeted Chu. Chang ordered him to prepare the contract for transferring the ship to his boss. They gave him the contract. He ordered the Man to wait for him at the office tomorrow while he told Chong Shu to follow him to the hospital since he is injured. The next day, the sea iguana was full again. Chu was pleased with how the sea is a heaven of limitless food. In the gym, as he trains, his
evolution points increase by plus 5 and his constitution by 0.5. He can't rely solely on his iguana clone to increase his power. That's why he trains a lot, too. After two battles, he feels that His control over his strength has improved. in the mountain cave. The system notified that the absorbed energy has been digested during training. Evolution points increased to plus 6. The next day, the transfer process was done. Chu didn't go outside for a day, and he was able to get more than 90 evolution points. His body also had grown by 20 cm. He
planned to make the lizard journey to the deep sea tomorrow. He also learned that he's not the only One in the world who has superpowers. He had to become stronger, especially now that there are unknown creatures in the depths of the ocean. One of the lackeyis noticed that there has been less fish lately and they almost captured nothing. Four eyes replied that it could be that sharks ate them. Sharks move in groups and even killer whales had to be wary of them. Deep in the ocean, sharks were doing just that. The sea iguana saw it.
The shark attempted to eat it. It bit The sea iguana, but it was defenseless against it. Eventually, the shark became food for the sea iguana. With it, the sea iguana gained plus 10 evolution points. Chu could tell how tender the meat was. Then the system informed Chu that the clone met the evolution requirement. He was asked if he wants to evolve. He realized that he had that option now. So he confirmed the iguana was in pain again. At the same time in the gym, Chu felt that pain too. When it Was done, he checked his
stats. He is now at level one with 130 constitution and 38 spirit. He had his mind control talent. His traits are both 280 out of 100. His eight extremities boxing at intermediate level has 370 out of 1,000 exp. The stepping cloud jump is also an intermediate level with 290 out of 1,000 exp. And lastly, the tan leg technique at intermediate level with 390 out of 1,000 exp. His clone is a scale armored spiny lizard, a newborn ferocious beast That is trying to evolve into a ferocious beast lord. It has evolved two times, currently has zero
out of 5,000 evolution points, and has water affinity. Though looking haggarded, he was still happy with his new stats. He reached a level equivalent to a great success in the dark realm in traditional martial arts. He also noticed that his constitution didn't double even after evolution, but he knew it made sense. and the only reason why it doubled last Time was because his base stat was low. Then he wondered what it meant to have water affinity. When he saw the iguana, he was shaken by how large it had become. The bone density is a few
times more than before, and the weight has reached 4 to 5 tons. The power has doubled, and the claws are akin to steel. It was much more explosive than before, too. He could swim up to 70 km, too. It's even faster than a large ship. He also makes less noise and also feels Less resistance while swimming. He assumed it was because of the water affinity thing. After that, he answered a call. He asked if anyone was asking for treasures lately. His subordinate replied, "No." He asked how the research was going. It was reported to him
that they found a few locations with sunken ships, but without Chang, who can breathe underwater, they couldn't do anything. He replied that there's nothing to worry about. Chu knew that The shallow area of routes used by Z country in the past and the major commercial waterways used by H country and R country have mostly been explored, but he knew that there were still a lot of priceless ships deep in the area. So he made the iguana go to the southeast 25 km offshore, the Yellow Sea area. He realized he can still breathe deep in water
after that evolution. His perception also went up. He could feel the area up to 20 km around him. After He tidies up everything, he'll be ready to go to the ships. He was done with work and decided to enjoy life from the point of raising a clone. He noticed the time and decided it was time to get food for himself. Meanwhile, on the street, there's a beautiful blonde woman sleeping against a pole at the pedestrian street. Chu took himself out for a fancy meal. It was nice, but just one meal cost over 3,000. His savings
are only 20,000, but he's confident to Spend since he'll take over Boss Jang's company. and at least he got a taste of what it feels like to be rich. He noticed something on the street. Two men surrounded a passed out woman. Our boy called them out. Chu realized that with his growing strength, his passion for martial arts is also awakening. As long as there's no real danger, he doesn't mind stepping in. Those guys got annoyed at him. One of them took out a knife and told him to get lost and they'll pretend They didn't see
him. Two released his aura. It was like he was engulfed by flame. Our boy was just aura farming at this point. Those men could feel like they are being stared down by a beast. It made them want to leave. The woman laughed at them and teased them for not being scared. Chu wondered if the woman was crazy. It's rare to encounter that kind of woman. And those thugs wouldn't let her think that they're weak. They figure out there's no reason to be Afraid of Chu since he's alone. They decided to take him down since he's
way too cocky. They charged towards him. Chu jumped up high and kicked them. Those two were thrown in the air. He barely used 10% of his strength. Otherwise, that kick could have reduced him to mush. He decided to let them go this time. They might have done wrong, but he deemed that it's not enough to deserve death. Those two scured away. One guy had to piggy back the other while they Described Chu as a demon who was straight out of hell. The woman staggered while she called Chu strong. He finds her movement strange, so it
made him wonder if she's on drugs. He immediately called the police and reported the drunk woman outside the Shang Tang bar. He told them that she looks compromised. She suggested that he take her home instead. A few minutes later, the cops had arrived. She told him that he's no fun. Chu ignored her And reported to the officer what he saw. Eventually, it had been dealt with. Good thing this MC isn't a s. His next agenda is to control the giant lizard and look for that sunken ship. He arrived at the location and realized that four
eyes were right. The info outline checks out. There was a sunken ship in there. During that time, his energy sense can only reach about 20 m. He knew he had to keep improving it. He searched the ship and found the jackpot. Solid gold bars. He Gave instruction to Four Eyes to steer the ship 3 km east and drop a crate. Four Eyes asked Black Ghost if there's anyone else besides Chong Sha who can breathe underwater. Black Ghost told him to stop asking questions and prying into their boss's secrets. The Sea iguana loaded up the crate
with the gold bars. Then the crate was slowly lifted. While that was happening, he noticed a piece of metal. Black Ghost reported to him that they got the crate on board and They're heading back now. The sea iguana continued to claw the piece of metal, but it was so tough and it rarely left a mark on it. Chu thought that it must be some kind of special alloy. Since it looks valuable, he decided to take it back for study. Out of the blue, a white long creature appeared, and it ate him. The creature tried to
ambush him, but he wasn't scared. Even if it's longer and bigger than him, he has confidence when it comes to his offense and defense. He Knew that creature wasn't a match for him. A few minutes later, we see some fishbones floating. Turns out the iguana won and gobbled it up easily and commented that the sushimi was pretty good. A few hours later, Chu propped himself against a boulder. The reefs in the area have been eroded by sea water for years, making them incredibly hard. The deserted beach at night is at the perfect spot to test
his strength. Even if force works both ways, his bone Density is nearly 20 times that of an average human. Plus, his external shield absorbs most of the impact. So, it will only result in his hand feeling a bit sore. And that kind of soreness can easily be gone with his body's recovery ability. It's because the evolution of his physique has surpassed 200. He hasn't tested it yet, but his punches would weigh at least 3,000 lb. That is equivalent to 1.5 tons. With his outer energy boost and eight extremities Boxing technique, he could punch straight through
a person with ease. Chu punched the boulder with all his might. That training left him tired and sweaty. He laid on the ground to rest. He thought of how his punching bag at home isn't durable enough, and he can't train at the park either. With modern technology, if someone recorded and uploaded his video online, he knew it would be a problem. He's certain that if people found out that he's Extraordinary, it would only bring trouble. Only on that beach could he train freely, and he felt great. He noticed his insane recovery ability, too. He stopped
for less than a minute, and the scrapes of his hands were already healed. The sea iguana arrived and brought him the metal. The irregular black ore shines with a metallic luster, but it doesn't seem particularly special at first glance. Surprisingly, he couldn't lift it. He estimated it to Weigh close to 200 lb. The metal was heavy, extremely tough. Even the giant lizard claws struggled to scratch it. It would be perfect for crafting a weapon. But with his current skills, making a suitable weapon would be difficult. He decided to deal with those gold bars first. Chu
boarded the ship and asked them where the stuff was. They informed him that it's all on the ship and everything has been cleared up. He checked the gold bars in the captain's Cabin. Black ghost peaked and asked him how much money it was worth. He exclaimed that he had never seen so many gold bars in his life. Chu replied that it doesn't have any markings, which means that it was privately mined. With that said, they couldn't sell them as antiques. He then went to the bustling downtown. He entered a shop to inquire if they could
buy gold there. The sales lady replied that they do. So she asked if it was a ring or a necklace that he's Talking about. He showed her the gold bars in his backpack. The lady got overwhelmed with the quantity. She invited him to go upstairs and meet their manager. The manager introduced himself and shook his hand. He asked for Chu's name and the quantity of gold that he's selling. He showed him the backpack full of gold. The manager informed him that he needs his team to check the quality of gold first, so he had him
wait. While the gold was being Inspected, Chu rested on the couch and took out his phone. After a while, the manager informed him that the gold bars weighed a total of 11,250 g. And since they're not very pure and privately made, they offered him 400 W per gram. Chu replied that it was fine. He received a notification that his account has been credited 4,500,000 Wen. He thought about how people his age are still hustling through college while he can make millions with just one Adventure. It felt surreal. His face soured while he was driving. He
decided to get a car first because what he has had a low chassis and it's terrible on the bumpy coastal roads. He went to a luxury auto showroom. He checked out a white car when suddenly a couple entered the showroom. This couple caught our MC's attention. It was his ex. Back then, he spent a fortune trying to win her over, but she chased after wealth and status, living it up with rich boys. The woman saw him and told her boyfriend that the guy was the loser who chased her. The man asked Chu what a broke
college kid like him is doing in a luxury car showroom. Black Ghost was offended, but Chu told him not to mind the guy. The man asked if they were not allowed to say the truth. He pointed out that Chu is just a broke college student and that place isn't something he can afford. The woman suggested that they stop wasting time at him and go look at The cars instead. She picked a red sports car. He checked it for her. The guy knew that money would impress a woman, and in reality, he only got a few
tens of thousands a month for spending. Basically, there's no way he could actually buy her a luxury car. Going back to Chu, he chose a car that has a high chassis and has enough room to carry his stuff. The sales associate asked him if he's going to pay by card or in full. He decided to pay the full Amount by card. His ex was surprised to hear that, especially when it's a 2.38 million car. The man stated that Chu was just pretending because there's no way he'd have that kind of money in his account. The
woman agreed because back then, Chu couldn't afford anything but instant noodles just to chase her. They mocked him by saying that a broke student buying a luxury car is a joke. They added that there's no need to put on a show, especially when it's Embarrassing if his card gets declined. Black Ghost told them that it's none of their business. He challenged them about what they would do if he can actually afford it. The man stated that if Chu can afford it, he will call him dad right there. But if he can't, then Chu will have
to call him dad. The woman thinks he's just bluffing. The woman gave him his key and card back and stated that the car was now his. Chu thanked him. Black Ghost had a smirk on His face. The man couldn't believe it. While his girlfriend was curious about when Chu got so rich, Black Ghost grabbed the man by the collar and urged him to keep his word and calling their boss dad. Chu told him not to waste more time on people like those. Black Ghost stated that he's too kind. If it was him, he wouldn't let
the man leave without saying dad. The man felt ashamed. When Chu drove off with his new car, his ex ran after him. The sales Associates couldn't help but gossip about her. The male sales associate stated that she thought she found a rich guy, but she missed out on someone with real potential. The woman sales associate replied that it's just how people are. They regret only after losing something. At Cloud Edge's restaurant, it is N City's top spot for fine dining and service. Chu was being welcomed. The waitress gave her the menu and asked what he'd
like to order. He Ordered the 5,888 W Boston Lobster and a 7,888 W king crab. Chu looked like he's in bliss when the price was worth it and he's being fed with sexy ladies. He justified that after he had cooked so many meals for the iguana, it's time for him to enjoy the life of luxury. He took out his phone. Their adviser had sent a message on their group chat reminding them that classes would start next week. Chu just remembered that he's Still a sophomore. He checked his stats because once classes start, he'll have less
time. He had to earn more money fast to help his lizard break through to the shadow realm. Swordfish. It is the fastest swimmer among the species of fish. It can reach speeds of up to 60 mph, which is about 90 kmh. But Chu is currently faster than that. The iguana ate sailfish and Chu finds it really delicious. Once he has his fill, he'll resume treasure hunting. Because Of this meal, his evolution value increased by plus 10. When he spreads out his senses, he can roughly detect things dozens of kilome away. Unfortunately, even after scanning the
seabed, he has not found any shipwrecks. Few days had gone by with no results. He could tell that the world is starting to change in strange ways. He wondered if there are any secret supernatural organizations run by the government. But now that he has those abilities, he Needs to be even more cautious in his actions. Chu arrived at the high-end office building in N City. After Chong Sho transferred to the company, he has not visited it even once. It was the busiest area in N City. He could tell Chong Shu really went all out to
make the company look good at Tienlan Marine Industries. The receptionist recognized assistant Jang. Jang ordered her to call everyone to the boss's office. At the boss's office, Jang introduced Mr. Chen To the employees. The lady's eyes sparkled when they saw that he's young, handsome, and rich. Ning Nikin, the receptionist, was introduced to him. A woman served him coffee. Jang told him that it was her secretary named Su Lang Yu. Chu didn't even glance at her and simply told her to just leave the coffee there. After checking the documents, he realized that even if it was
a shell company, it was surprisingly well equipped. It costs hundreds of thousands To maintain the company every month, so he had to search for more shipwreck treasures. He told Jang Shu to end the introductory meeting there and have everyone get back to their work. He also advised him to head back to the ship and keep an eye on things. Even if the mind control effect is stable for now, he knows that the subconscious hypnosis isn't foolproof. He knew he had to make sure they don't interact too much with the outside world. His constitution Increases twice
by plus 0.7. He uses his clones to hunt while he lays around and becomes stronger. He felt good about it. Meanwhile, the sea iguana continued to hunt. He smacked a larger fish in the head. He thought it was a barracuda, but it seemed longer. This fish looked like four or 5 m long. It was unusual since it is mostly 2 m long. Its speed is also incredible, and its teeth are harder than steel. If not for his strong external force Field, he would have been hurt. He realized that the number of fierce mutated fish in
the ocean is increasing. The meat was also different. It provides much more energy. The system notified him that his clone devours with effort and gains 90 evolution points. His constitution increased to plus 9. Chu could tell that something was unusual about the fish. His muscles and bones are enhancing and the increase is 10 times what it used to be. He felt that It's a shame since it seems like it's the only one of its kind. at Tinlan Marine Industries office. The women gossiped about their boss, wondering if he has a significant other. Nyxian was fangirling
hard over him. They immediately stopped when someone asked them if they're not off work yet. It was Chu. Lang Yu replied that they have some things to finish up. With his hearing, he could already pick up on their chatter while he was in the elevator. But to avoid awkwardness, he decided to pretend that he didn't hear anything. He invited them for dinner since they had been working so hard. That made the girls happy. They went to a restaurant named Above the Clouds. The women were impressed with his luxury car and the lavish restaurant. When the
total of 48,888 came in, he simply gave the card to the server. Nyxine fell for him even more. She wondered which rich family he came From. Lang Yu couldn't believe how he's just throwing money around. The other woman thinks that following their boss like that could give them a bright future ahead. He told them that he has something to handle that night, so after dinner, he'll get them all a ride back. The sea breeze is so soothing that it really lifts his spirits. At nighttime on a deserted rocky shore, Chu hasn't stopped training during that
time. His physique is over 20 times that of an Average person, and his punch strength exceeds 2 tons. With the external force field, his strength doubles, and his punches had come close to 5 tons, but the stronger he gets, the harder it is to control. So, he had to keep training to get used to his strength. Then, he noticed something. It was late at night, and yet there are people in such a remote place. The man on the shore asked those men on the boat if they still don't thrush them even after doing so Many
deals together. The leader of the men in the boat required that they would do it the usual way where they give the money first, then the goods will follow. Chu eaves dropped from behind a boulder. He could tell that it's a degrade deal. But those people are armed, so he needs to be cautious. The deal was done, and the men from different sides shook hands. The leader of the men on the shore told the guy on the right, whom he called, to be careful since things are Tight lately. The man on the left assured their
boss that they only work through single channels and even if something goes wrong with the goods, it won't be traceable. Chu sneaked behind them. He took down two men at the same time. The boss of the group got ready. He pulled out his gun. But Chu was fast. He immediately punched him. RMC described those men as someone who already lost their humanity and taking them out is practically doing a public Service. After that, he made the iguana look for the boat. The sea iguana crashed on the boat, causing it to break in half. Those men
fell into the sea. The iguana swam around them. Those men panicked upon seeing it. They all screamed to be saved. One man took out a gun since he knew that they wouldn't be able to get away. He suggested that they go all out since it doesn't look like it can dodge a bullet. They shot at it. It landed on the side of the eye of the Iguana. The man trembled in fear. The sea iguana looked ferocious. Eventually, the man was gone. The corpses floated in the sea while the sea iguana took a briefcase. Sometime later
at choose room, he counted the money. One stack of bills is 10 grand, while 3 million is 300 stacks. He thought of how the cash laid out in front of him feels so much more real than the numbers on a bank card. The next morning, at a cafe, a stunning woman made the men's heads Turn. It was Lang Yu. She asked for his signature. They watched her. They didn't speak, but those men had the same thought that the boss was so young. Chu decided to head back. He ordered her to notify everyone of the meeting
time. When he passed by those guys, they felt his strong aura. Just his presence alone was terrifying. At the meeting room, Chu told them to handle every detail well, and they will be the company's heroes. And as long as the company's performance Keeps going up, by year end, everyone will get a bonus. Chu received a message, so he pulled out his phone. He was told that it's the last day to register for school, and he's the only one left in class. Because of that message, he was reminded of school. He told his employees that he
needs to go register at school. Since not much needs to be done, he told them to call it a day. He also assigned Lang Yu to handle company matters while he's not there. Nikene was surprised to know that the boss was still a student. Her colleague thought he was some rich heir raised with perfect manners because of how composed he was at N University campus. Chu got out of his luxury car and he drew attention to him, especially when his car is worth over 2 million. Instantly, he was posted on the campus forum. It received
748 shares, 2,822 comments. A woman saw it and said that he looked so familiar. She compared his Eye to stars because of how it radiates a sharp brilliance. Then in the comment section, she read the name of the student and found out that he's a sophomore in the finance department. While walking in the campus, Chu was thinking how his body and strength are improving quickly, but he only knew eight extremities, cloud steps, and tan leg technique. He realized that he needed to learn new skills to better control his current power. He saw the Taekwondo club
members practicing. He knew that he could easily squash someone like that with a single slap. He knew that if he wanted to control his strength, he had to keep training himself. At the long tang steel, Chu wanted to custom order some steel. He's estimating 100 tons or more. A woman escorted him to the VIP lounge and told him that she'll get in touch with their sales manager at the VIP lounge. The man asked Him what kind of steel he wanted to order. He expressed that he wanted a steel pillar with 2 m in diameter and
5 m tall and a few blocks weighing 1 5 10 and 20 tons each. From his requirements, the total weight is about 200 tons, and the estimated cost is around 700,000, but the final price would still depend on the finished product. Chu agreed to it and was ready to sign the contract. The next morning at Jung Chung Shus makeshift dock. Jung told him that the Whole area was his warehouse. Chu wanted to look around by himself, so he sent him back. The system notified him that his clone gained eight evolution points through diligent eating. Since
Chu hasn't reached the transformation stage yet, he knew that he had a long way to go. He imagined the steel pillar being placed in the warehouse. And once that happens, the warehouse would serve as his training ground. The maximum evolution points per day are 100, and he Needed at least one more. Compared to the giant lizard's progress, his body was still way too slow. Meanwhile, the police investigated the crime scene. Luo Howa, known as the big boss Luo in the underworld, owns a bar and commands over a dozen lackeyis. The police saw that the right
hand was severed by a blunt weapon, wielded with incredible force, barely hanging by a thread of skin. While Iron Laui was hit on the chest with immense force and died on the spot, All three men were killed in a minute by the same person. The police determined that the strength and speed of the individual was insane. It made them wonder who could pull off something like that. They heard on the radio that there are more bodies on the sea at Tanlan Maritime Company. Chu was resting on a massage chair while Lang Yu informed him that
the company had no real work and everyone was just playing around. She suggested that they hand out flyers or Something. He replied that there's no need. He made an analogy that business is like fishing. They just wait for fish to bite. But deep inside, Lung Yu was worried that they would go bankrupt and she knew that if they don't advertise, there's no way people would come to them. But as if on Q, Naikin arrived and informed the boss that someone was there to discuss business with him. Lang Yu was surprised. She didn't expect that someone
would really come to deliver Money after all. Someone entered the office and searched for Jang. Chu replied that Jang and his people are all under him now. The man was impressed that he managed to do that. Then he introduced himself as Wong Tian Hua. Chu was familiar with Boss Wong. He invited him to sit down and talk slowly. Lung Yu told them that they'll get them tea. Boss Wong shared with him that he had a centuries old sunken ship worth at least tens of millions. He asked him if he Could make it happen. Chu inquired
how he plans to split the goods. Boss Wang replied that he'll provide him with the map and he'll take 70% while Chu gets 30%. He justified that it's a fair rate even with international teams. Chu suggested that he go find an international team instead. Boss Wong asked what he wanted instead. Chu suggested splitting 50/50. Boss Wang was in a pinch with the laws being strict nowadays and private Salvage is impossible. Chu was their only shot. He asked him if he could get the job done. Chu confidently replied that he has other men like Jenang. He
suggested that if Boss Wang had doubts, he could come and see it for himself. that made him agree to a 50/50 split. They shook hands to seal the deal. Meanwhile, at the police station, the chief was still wondering what the creature was for it to have exaggerated claw marks. He started to think that It's some kind of abnormal creature. He checked his message and there was a notification about confidential data about multiple deaths at the sea. They suspected that it was done by a beast. The professionals are tasked to investigate it immediately. Meanwhile, Chu's iron
pillar arrived. Ling Yu inquired what it's for. He replied that it is a sea calming pillar buried at the pier to stabilize the waters and hold back the sea dragon kings. Lingu was Impressed that he knows too much. Chu checked his balance. He realized that money could fly away so fast and 321,800 was only left in his bank account. At the Bixie Garden Complex, Chu drops off Ling Yu in her home. She invited him to come downstairs for some water. Chu refused since he had something else to do. Lung Yu felt embarrassed that she did
that when her home was messy. Chu drove off hurriedly because earlier at dinner, he accidentally snapped his Chopsticks and because of that, he knew he had to practice to control his strength. He arrived at the shore and started punching the boulders. His goal was to achieve perfect mastery to fully use his powers. His or shield can now cover up to 30 m. With it, he can sense every movement of wind and grass around him. 3 days later, Seaguana kept eating, gaining him plus 210 evolution points and plus 21 constitution points. This time, he found a
redeyed mutated fish, Just like the one he had before. When Tian Hua's ship slows down, he realizes that they must be close. He called him and informed him that his crew had already arrived. He asked him when they would start. Tian Hua praised him for the quick work. He informed him that they will begin at night. After pouring hard work on his training, Chu gained plus 15 aura control experience. With aura enhancement, his strength multiplies. When Tian Hua arrived, he Informed Chu that he didn't see his crew. Chu told him that the crew is already
underwater, so he just needs to know the location. Tian Hua was impressed. He informed him that it's 200 m to the left of his ship, about 700 to 800 m deep. Even with his constitution, the water pressure is making him uncomfortable. When he arrived, there was nothing there. He informed Tian Hua about it. Tanu was impressed that he had done that quickly. He couldn't believe how it's possible to scan 700 to 800 meters deep in just 20 minutes. Tian Hua's assistant informed him that after hundreds of years, the location has likely shifted. He suggested moving
about a kilometer east. He told Chu to go east. Chu followed his instruction. He used his senses to search. Then he eventually found it. They successfully retrieved the treasures. When they checked, eight pieces were broken and three were Intact. The estimated value is about 30 million. If sold privately, they could get another 20 million. Tan Hu happily told Chu about it. Chu leaves it up to him since he'll just collect the money. A few days later, Tanhu presented briefcases of money to Chu. They came up with a total of over 23 million. Each person gets
11.5 million. He told Chu to count it if he likes. Chu replied that he doesn't need to because he trusts him. Tien Hua laughed at how Straightforward he is. He'd definitely contact him again if he has info on a sunken ship. With that, Chu's financial problem has been solved, but his strength is still weak. He needed to train to the point where sniper bullets and grenades won't affect him so he could do even more riskier moves. The next day, at Tianlan Marine Industries, a staff member informed him that someone submitted a resume. That person boasted
that he can bring 200 fishing Enthusiasts every month for a 50,000 monthly salary. Nine saw that he's back. He checked the resume and immediately declined it since he deemed that it was a scam. Nixen was happy to see him because he hadn't been to the office the past few days. Chu replied that he had a big project and he just casually made a few million. Nixen was impressed. He promised them earlier that he'd treat them after the project. So that night he planned to take them all to Yun Shang Tien to relax. The other female
staff felt genuinely happy. The work was easy, the pay was good, and the boss treated them with respect. Unlike in her friends companies where managers made unwanted advances, it made her wonder if the boss ever made a move on her, would she possibly say yes at Yun Shang Tien? Nikin expressed that she had no idea that fishing was so profitable. The brown-haired woman also dawned that a few days of fishing could already bring Millions. Chu replied that they just got lucky since they caught a blue fin tuna. One fish of that kind is worth hundreds
of thousands. A man approached Chu and asked if he's the owner of the TN Marine Industries. The man introduced himself as Lee Tan Rui, the deputy general manager of Tian Hong Group and also a friend of Wong Tian Hua. He invited Chu to go fishing at sea. Chu expressed that he's interested as long as it's profitable. He told him to visit his Company to discuss it. Lung Yu gave him Chu's business card. He told Chu that he'll see him tomorrow. Xiaoi expressed that she didn't expect him to be that young. Nyxine asked him if their
company is really big. She replied that their chairman is worth tens of billions, even richer than the richest man in N City. She noticed that he has the same surname as Tan Hongs chairman, so she speculated that he's a relative. They were all impressed. Chu didn't expect that even The richest man's son would be interested in shipwrecks. It was such a coincidence that he was just telling them that he caught a big fish and now he stumbled into one. And not just one, but two. The sea iguana held one using its limbs and the second
one was in its mouth. At the warehouse, Chu realized that a fish worth over 10 million doesn't even taste special. He placed it in a chest box filled with ice while stating that it isn't a fish, but it's Practically money swimming in water. He planned to find a buyer for it the next day. While he was training, he received a call that young master Lee was waiting for him at the office for quite a while. He replied that he'll head there at once at Tienlan Marine Company. Tan Rui told Chu that he got the exact
location of a shipwreck. Chu was curious why he's still interested in shipwrecks when the Tian Hong group is already wealthy. He replied that there's not a person who Thinks they have too much money. Chu suggested splitting 50/50 when the goods arrive. Tanui agreed to it. Chu could tell that Tanui isn't after the treasure on board. He opened up another topic by asking Tan Rui if he knew anyone who runs a high-end seafood restaurant. He shared that he has a 4 meter bluefin tuna. Tan Rui was impressed that even a bluefin tuna was within his reach.
He replied that he knows someone and suggested that they grab lunch together So they can introduce him. At the warehouse, a man rushed to enter. Chu told him not to rush since the fish isn't going away. Manager Lynn told his boss that the quality is perfect and it meets agrade standards in every aspect. The man in the suit told Chu that the fish is topnotch. Considering their friendship, he negotiated the price to 7 million. Chu agreed to that price. Lang Yu couldn't believe that a single fish was sold for a whopping7 million. After That, they
went to Marriott International. Since they had a great hall, Chu wanted to splurge a little. Lang Yu's jaw dropped since it's a place for the world's top luxury brands. She couldn't help but think that Chu is the epitome of indulgence since his money comes way too easily. Meanwhile, the sales associate was happy to have met a big spender like him. After that, they went to the doc warehouse. Ling Yu checks out his watch that cost 2 Million. Other than that, he bought so many luxury goods that cost probably over 2 million as well. Chu informed
her that he was interested in buying a villa and asked her to look for options that suited his preferences. He specified that the property should be large and spacious, located in a quiet area and within a budget of 30 million. Lang Yu acknowledged his request. Meanwhile, deep in the ocean, he saw a submarine through the eyes of the sea iguana. He Thinks that it's a pity that he isn't strong enough yet to tear apart those submarines. He swam through a crease and noticed that there's something dangerous in there. He decided to leave since there was
no need to take unnecessary risks. But a huge ass crab appeared and he got triggered. He fought with it. There he realized that it's much stronger than the mutated ribbon fish. He swam fast to evade its attack. He noticed that the force that this monster Could unleash is over 10 tons. He moved at the speed of light and hit it and he defeated it. He knew that he couldn't finish it in one go, so he'll have to absorb it slowly. Meanwhile, Chew back home read a report about the usual marine phenomena in recent years. There
were reports about giant ribbon fish, giant trigger fish, and the most recent one is a giant spider. He could tell that the world is changing. It was reported that SSN698, an Mount nuclear Submarine, vanished at a depth of 600 m in the Pacific. The latest report is that it was attacked by an unknown giant sea creature. There was another report that a nuclear submarine in the Arctic collided with an underwater iceberg, killing all 127 crew members. All of it happened over the past 2 years. He realized that the deeper he went, the more of an
unfamiliar creature he became. Consequently, the sea iguana devoured The crab, earning him plus 290 evolution points and plus 29 base body stats. There was an additional plus 280 points and plus 280 base body stats. By that time, his body size had grown to 18 m. His physical stats have increased by over 100 points, and his bone structure, muscle strength reached a new level. Even punching an iron pole doesn't even hurt him anymore. With that said, not even a handgun could do more than a scratch on his skin. And with his Natural armor and reaction speed,
ordinary bullets won't even leave a dent on him. At Shinua bookstore, Chu read a book. This was fueled with his thought of the world not being simple as he expected, so learning and readying were his best choices. He caught the attention of some women because of how handsome he is. They looked at him from afar, but didn't have the guts to ask for his contact info. Chu believes that only by continuous learning can he keep Improving. He went back to the warehouse after reading. He trained hard since Baji and Jingi seemed simple, but mastering those
isn't easy. That's when he received a call from Tianui. He was informed that they had arrived. So he told them to send the location and his people will be there in half a day. A little later, he reported that he found gold and some shattered porcelain. Tan Rui asked if he saw a special box. Boss Lee told him That as long as he finds the box, everything else on the shipwreck is his. Chu replied that he'll ask around. Just the treasure box alone is already worth over 20 million. But as for the special box, it
was just a pile of mud. He had no idea why Lee wanted it when it opened. Lee was disappointed with the condition of his elixirs. Meanwhile, the police investigated a body. And just like the people who died earlier, all the blood from the body was gone and Their muscles dried up. Even when the time of death was only 10 hours ago, they decided to wait for the higherups to come down and investigate. The chief noticed how all the victims were thugs, had no family ties, but were physically strong. He told the policeman, Shiao Jong, to
write up a report and shut down all entertainment venues in the city. Later that night, a woman sucked the blood of a man. The chief officer was surprised to know that Even when everything was shut down, four more people had died. He couldn't understand how it happened. Consequently, Chu went back to training. After training for a few days, he made great progress in both Baji Kuan and Shingi Kuan. The system informed him that he had comprehended a new martial art technique. He was tasked to name it. He called it an explosive fist. It combines Beijuan's
eight extreme stance and Shingi's halfstep Benguan. One step Equates to one explosion and his fists are like cannonballs. Meanwhile, at the sea, a fisherman was happy because he finally caught the fish that he was chasing for so long. He knew he had to be cautious since the investment was huge. Just one fishing net costs millions, so he can't afford any mistakes. Suddenly, someone reported to him that there's a hole in the net and the fish are escaping. He immediately ordered me to pull the net up. The Subordinate reported to him that the net won't budge,
even if the detector showed nothing. Meanwhile, the sea iguana had feasted on the school of fish. Chu was pleased that a single bite takes dozens at once. He finds it satisfying, and with his water affinity, those sonar detectors can't detect him at all. When he was full, he decided to head back. After that, the fisherman was left puzzled that his fishing net was broken and all the fish were gone. He wondered What kind of monster would have been behind it. Concurrently, Chu chilled at the dockside. Tanu recalled and informed him that he's heading back to
N city. He wanted to show him his gratitude, so he'll take him to a great place. Chu accepted his invitation. Later that night at Mangluo Elegant Pavilion, a woman in a red Chinese dress welcomed them. Tian Roy confirmed that no one had booked the Yun Xiao Hall. The woman replied that it's always reserved for Him. They settled at Yun Xiao Hall and were entertained by female dancers. He finally understood why the young master ignored his duties. A place like this, relaxing, beautiful, and full of charm made it easy to forget about the outside world. After
hours of indulging in that atmosphere, Chu drove his car. He could sense that someone was following him, and the aura made him uncomfortable. He felt that he's being stalked by a giant lizard. He Wondered if it was a monster or a ghost. He was thrilled since it had been a while since he had stretched his legs. Suddenly, a red sports car drove by his side and challenged him to a race. He clicked his tongue in disappointment. He drove so fast and outran them. The man in the red sports car couldn't believe it. He commented that
the guy was killing himself. Even if Chu went that fast, the stalker could still keep up. He realized that it's not just a weak Creature. He arrived at the seaside and invited the stalker to come out. It was the woman who welcomed them at the restaurant earlier. She explained that he's just bathing by the sea when someone took her clothes. She requested that he grab her something to wear. Chu replied that he'll get it for her, but charged at her. He hit her but was left surprised. As the dust settled, the woman transformed. She had
a mermaid tail, multiple arms, and a long tongue. She wanted to eat Chu because of his strong and rich life force. Chu asked what she was. She replied that she's a woman, too, but a more perfect version. She is called Yin Xiao. She stated that eating him is like eating hundreds of healthy, energetic people. It's enough to help her complete the first stage of evolution. Chu immediately stepped back. And when he found his footing, he charged again. She couldn't believe how fast he was. His punch landed on her and She crashed on the ground. She
couldn't believe that he defeated her when he doesn't even have the aura of the awakened being. Chu punched a tree, splitting it in half. He kept doing the same to the nearby trees. Shiao had been hiding by fusing with the trunks and stones, but every time Chu attacked, her aura got weaker. After knocking down all the trees, Chu looked at Shiao and stated that hiding like that was a good survival skill, but she was unlucky to Meet someone like him. He told her that if she answered his questions, he'd make her death quick. Shiao smirked
and asked if she looked scared of dying. She glanced at the moon and said it was beautiful. She added that she had already taken her revenge. If she had just one more month, she said she would have finished her shadow transformation, and not even a war god could scare her. Then Chu continued her thought, saying it was bad luck for her to run into Someone like him in an ordinary city. As she spoke, her body began to fade away. Then a system message appeared, telling Chu that he had killed the corruptor and gained 10 attribute
points. He had no idea what that meant. The system showed him that attribute points could be used to improve his skills, strengthen weapons, and boost his overall abilities. They could also unlock special powers like lightning, ice, fire, and more. Chu now had powers, and Soon his lizard would too. He had an idea. What if his sea iguana turns into a real life Godzilla? Back at the warehouse, Chu tried to research corruptors and awakeners, but he couldn't find anything useful. He realized the authorities had blocked that information. Still, he didn't mind. He was too weak for
now. He planned to dive deeper into that world once he got stronger. Maybe when his physique hit 10,000, he uttered. Then The system told him to choose an element to enhance. The options were wind, fire, water, earth, lightning, light, or dark. But with his current stats, he could only pick a basic element. He chose lightning. With that, he unlocked lightning mastery and gained plus one to his mental stat. Now he could generate a small spark of lightning from his fingertips. It wasn't much, but it could improve with training since the skill had experience points. He
was satisfied. He checked his status window level one. Physique 465 plus. Mental control 57 plus. Techniques external chi beginner 570 out of 1,000 exp. Key sense beginner 480 out of 1,000 exp. Skills: Collapsing punch, beginner, 26/500 exp. Skyep, intermediate, 412/1,000 exp. Spring kick intermediate, 412 out of 1,000 exp. Lightning mastery, beginner, 10 out of 10,000 exp. He currently had no attribute points left. His clone was a scale thorn lizard, Which had already evolved twice. That made it a mature beast. Its next goal, to become a beast lord. Evolution value 3,190 out of 5,000 abilities observation
hockey armament hockey talents water affinity lightning mastery. Meanwhile, out at sea, the sea iguana punched and electrocuted a sea creature. It was another mutated beast just as terrifying as the giant spider from before. After killing it, the Iguana devoured it and gained 980 evolution points. Now even the giant lizard had lightning mastery and it was stronger than choose. At N City airport, Chief Officer Guande was there to welcome the agents from the Special Affairs Bureau. A man named Huang Junfung introduced himself and thanked Guan for his cooperation. Then another man stepped forward. He introduced himself
as Nangong Jian, the lead investigator for case 9007. He Immediately asked to see the body. Guan led them to it and explained that the corpse was found last night. He also mentioned that four people had mysteriously died, one each night for the past 4 days. Junfung used his ability on the corpse. An image appeared above the body, shocking Guan. Junfang explained that the aura had disappeared, which meant the culprit was already dead. Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, Chu continued training. His powers were Growing fast. So fast he could barely control them. When he dropped Nakes
in off and she invited him inside, he didn't dare accept. He was afraid he might break her couch just by sitting on it. He also kept his distance because he worried he might hurt her by accident, even just by getting too close. The next day, he visited villa number 88 with a sales agent. The main building was 560 m with a 70 m front yard. It also had a 200 m backyard and an 80 m pool hall. The agent said the buyer paid in full, including furniture worth over a million. The total cost, $34 million.
Chu said he'd take it for$25 million. Then his phone rang. One of his subordinates was calling for help. At the same time, the special investigator stood on a rooftop watching over the city. Junfang told Jian that there was no unusual activity last night, so it seemed the corruptor was truly dead. But he also found it strange. Being in a Semi-ethereal state isn't something a normal person could survive. He suggested they stay and investigate more, but Jian told him to focus on training instead. Otherwise, when the apocalypse comes, he'd just be cannon fodder. Junfang found it
hard to believe an apocalypse would really happen. Shian explained that the professor predicted the next spatial fluctuation would be 10 times stronger than the one 20 years ago. The most important thing now was to Raise their abilities before that day came. That was the only way they could repay the country for everything it had done for them. Meanwhile, out at sea using the sea iguana, Chu discovered something valuable. But while digging through the sand, he accidentally broke a lot of porcelain. He searched the internet to check the value of the items. Luckily, one of the
pieces was from the Song Dynasty and could be worth several million, maybe even tens of Millions. He regretted being careless. If he hadn't broken so much, it could have been worth over a hundred million. At that moment, he was at a restaurant when he noticed a woman being harassed. She accused a man of touching her, but he denied it. Then, shamelessly, the man said that since she accused him anyway, he might as well grab her for real. Another customer stood up for the woman and said he saw the man do it. The man challenged him
to a fight if he was Angry. Chu chimed in, saying he had never seen anyone as shameless as that guy. The man arrogantly replied that if Chu had a problem with him, then he should try hitting him. The man looked down on Chu, calling him just another hot-blooded kid who only knew how to talk tough. Chu turned to the waitress and asked if their place had surveillance cameras. She understood what he meant and quietly unplugged the system. Then she told him the cameras Were broken. Chu smirked. The harasser started to panic. Our MC slapped the
out of this pervert's face. The man was left with a red handprint on his cheek and foam at the corners of his mouth. Chu stood tall and found it absurd that in this day and age there were still people asking to get beaten up. He returned to the warehouse. His thunder control increased by plus 10 and his mental strength went up by plus one. As he Rested on the couch, he reflected on how short human life is. Just a blink compared to the lifespan of a star. But he believed that one day he'd surpass the
limits of life and death. The next day, he told Lang Yu to study accounting since she'd be in charge of managing the company's finances one day. He also said she'd be paid double. She agreed without hesitation. She then asked where he was headed next. He replied simply that he was going to sell some things. A Chinese Man named Gao welcomed him to his antique shop. Chu wanted him to estimate the value of a porcelain plate. Gao invited him upstairs to talk in private. They opened the briefcase. Gao smelled the salt water and immediately knew it
had been salvaged from the sea. After examining it, he confirmed it was genuine. However, since it was part of a set and Chu only had one piece, its value dropped significantly. It was unfortunate. When Chu found the Porcelain, there were several pieces nearby, but only one was still intact. Such a waste. Gao told him that since it was just a single piece, he could only offer 4.5 million. Chu said he'd think about it. As they walked down the street, Lyu mentioned that after checking so many shops, Gao seemed the most honest. Our MC wasn't so
sure. Still, since Gao offered the highest price, he was considering it. But Chu noticed something strange in Gao's eyes, Like he was hiding something. Meanwhile, inside a luxurious villa. In the living room, Gao reported to a blonde man that there was a lead on a sunken ship. He showed him the porcelain and pointed out the official seal they'd been searching for. He guessed that the young man who brought it in probably knew more. The blonde boss told him to pass the info to the fox and said he wanted a full report on the guy within
30 minutes. Not long after, as Gao looked at his phone, they Found out the man was just a regular college student who had recently bought a luxury car for 3 million and even traveled overseas with Tianui. Gao suggested they cooperate with whoever was backing him, but the boss, Du Hong, just laughed at the idea. Later that night, lying in bed, Chu thought back on the deal. He had filled out some forms and everything had gone smoothly. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling that Gao was hiding something. He hoped nothing Weird would come from it. The
next day, Chu was still uneasy about Gao, but he decided to head straight to school to check things out. After absorbing the sea python, his strength, muscle density, and overall power had increased to about 50 to 60 times that of a normal person. He even wondered if he could survive a gunshot. Now, when he got to the elevator, a man was already waiting outside. As soon as Chu stepped out, the man threatened him and pressed a gun Against his back. They got into a van. Chu pretended to be scared and asked where they were taking
him. He said he didn't remember doing anything to offend them. The driver replied that they were just bringing him to someone. Once they arrived, they reported to their boss that they had brought Chu. The boss had a scar running across his eyes and cheek. He said he wanted to see the man who had kept him waiting all night. Chu looked around a bit disappointed. Was This all they had? The kidnappers thought he was acting weird. He had looked scared earlier, but now he was completely calm. His composure was starting to freak them out. The boss
gave the order to draw their weapons. One of them pointed a gun at Chu. Chu moved quickly and kicked the guy. He then took the gun from his hand. The other two quickly pointed their weapons at him and the boss warned him to drop it. Trying to intimidate him, the boss Said Chu was alone while he had two men and Chu's gun only had one bullet. But Chu just smiled and asked if they still hadn't figured it out yet, that it was actually him who had them surrounded. He then looked at the boss and asked
who gave the order. If he told the truth, Chu promised to make his death quick. Chu pulled the trigger. It was a clean headshot. The lackeyis froze in shock. They thought this was their chance since our MC was out of bullets. Chu threw the Gun up into the air, then calmly caught their bullets with his bare hands. They were stunned. One of them called him a monster. Even Chu was surprised by how far he'd come. The fight continued. In the end, one man was left trembling. Chu questioned him about who sent them. The man revealed
it was Chong Du Hong, the director of Longha Group. He said Duh Hong owned a shop on Guan Street and lived in Guan Villa number three. Chu grabbed the phone of the guy he shot. He Used it to call Du Hong and told him they'd be seeing each other that night. Meanwhile, Gao was complaining that 20 million was too much, that Duh Hong was being too generous. But Duh Hong told him to prepare it. He said it was worth that much if it could cost dozens of lives. He was curious to see if Chu could
actually come and take it. Chu just ran toward the villa. His speed had reached 120 m/s. At Duhong's villa, Gao asked if he Thought the kid got scared and backed off. But Duh Hong replied that anyone who could beat seven armed men alone wasn't ordinary. Duhong gathered his dozen gunmen and a few dozen loyal men. Suddenly, the brightly lit villa went completely dark. They turned on the backup power but noticed the CCTV at the main gate was destroyed along with the front door. Duhong, furious, ordered his men to shoot anyone who entered, no questions asked.
Gunfire broke out and Several guards were quickly taken down. Everyone stared at the front door waiting. It slowly creaked open. Duhong immediately shouted for them to fire, but Chu moved in fast, easily dodging the bullets and taking down the gunman in the room. Then he calmly walked toward Du Hong. That's when Duhong realized Chu was awakened. Panicking, he offered 500 million to spare him and Gao. Chu said it was a tempting offer, but after killing Everyone else, he couldn't just walk away. Instead, he said he wanted to talk about the awakened. Duhong was visibly nervous.
He began explaining that back in 99 in Tiger Mountain Town, there was a fight over territory involving over a dozen people. Suddenly, a person engulfed in flames descended from the sky. In an instant, the entire town was covered in fire. By the next day, the whole place had turned into a lake. The authorities later named it sunken lake. Chu was stunned by how powerful the awakened were. He felt lucky he hadn't caught the attention of someone like that yet. Suddenly, Duhong pulled out a gun, but he was too close. Chu quickly pushed the gun aside,
punched Du Hong and kicked Gao at the same time. Later, the police arrived. By the time they got there, Duhong's entire villa had been burnt to rubble. They recovered 31 bodies. One of them was Du Hong. The police chief guessed Chu was Responsible. He also suspected Chu had something to do with the deaths in Red Forest. He sensed that an attack was coming. He planned to give Chu a chance, but deep down he felt Chu was too ruthless, someone who had already abandoned morality. Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, there was an empty spot at the
table. The chicken he left behind was gone, and only an oily stain remained. From the looks of it, whatever took the food wasn't ordinary. Then, the System notified him that he gained 67 evolution points and a plus 6.7 boost to his body stats. At the same time, deep underwater, while devouring a fish, Chu sensed something ahead. Curious, he decided to check it out. At 1,200 m below the surface, he discovered a live volcano. But the water pressure was getting harder to endure. Back at the warehouse, a man walked by holding a shopping bag. Chu secretly
followed him. He launched a surprise attack and hit With full force. But when the dust settled, the man was gone. Chu realized his target might have powers related to dimensional rifts. Suddenly, the floor darkened. The system warned him his body was being corrupted by polluted energy. It also informed him that his body was strong enough to resist the corruption for now. But that resistance would only last for 5 more hours. Chu found himself in another world. He entered a dark room where a strange creature stood near the Door. Suddenly, it lunged at him. He wasn't
sure if it was a zombie or some other type of monster. He responded with a punch that blasted its head apart. The system notified him that he had killed a defective demon corpse and earned two stat points. He noticed a sign near the door. Welcome to Tiger Mountain Town. It reminded him of what Du Hong said, the town that supposedly turned into a lake overnight. But now Chu realized the truth. It wasn't destroyed by humans. It Was pulled into another world. Knowing how dangerous it was, he decided to leave immediately. Unbeknownst to him, a woman
was watching from a tree branch nearby. Silently, eating a whole chicken, Chu used two stat points to enhance his lightning power. He gained plus 20 experience and plus two spirit. Back at the warehouse, he began researching Tiger Mountain Town. To his shock, over 30,000 people had gone missing. He imagined that if They had all turned into monsters, defeating them could give him an incredible number of stat points. He called Tienry and asked for help finding out where the missing people from Tiger Mountain Town ended up after 20 years. Tienroy said he'd look into it the
next day. The following day, Chu visited a shop and placed a custom order for a small steel house and a large knife for decoration. He wanted the knife to be 2 M long, thick, durable, and sharp. The shopkeeper warned him it might be difficult due to knife production regulations. Chu argued that no one in their right mind would run around carrying a 60 kg knife and start a rampage. But deep down, Chu had another reason. Demon corpses are strange and he feared the knife might get infected. In addition to the knife and the steel house,
he also planned to get himself a Set of armor. After that, Chu met up with Tienran, who informed him that the records on the survivors from Tiger Mountain Town were inconsistent. The authorities claimed the situation was resolved, but there was no detailed data. Just as Chu suspected, over 30,000 people were buried along with the town. Meanwhile, deep in the sea, through the sea iguana, Chu caught over 40 fish. He still needed 300 more evolution points to reach the next stage. Next on his List was visiting a villa. There, he met Linqing, the owner. Ching complimented
him on his good taste. Chu handed over the money, 20 million in cash. Ching Jay was stunned by the full payment in cash. As that happened, the system notified him, plus 29 evolution points. With that, he hit the maximum number of points for this stage. The system asked if he wanted to evolve. At that moment, the sea iguana was 1,500 m underwater. Chu chose to evolve. The sea iguana Curled up and released a glowing yellow flame. Chu could feel the effects in his own body. His senses sharpened. He could hear ants moving food 100 m
away. At 300 m, he could sense a security guard on patrol grumbling about life. Despite his power and speed doubling, he remained incredibly agile. He had advanced to the earth tier. His constitution reached 1,000 and his spirit hit 200. His affinity with water and lightning resulted in a new ability, electric fire Breathing. He figured it was because of all the mutated tiger head fish he had eaten. The sea iguana was now 40 m long, almost like a real life Godzilla. But despite its size, it still had weak internal defenses. And the electric fire, while flashy,
wasn't all that powerful. While swimming, he suddenly noticed a massive creature nearby. Chu thought that if he ate the creature, his power might grow enough to bite an aircraft carrier in half. He was already Strong, but not yet at the level he wanted. When he ate the tiger-headed fish, he gained over 2,000 evolution points and a surge of fiery energy. Soon after, he found a cave that looked like it belonged to something dangerous. As he swam closer, he froze. A huge pillar was embedded into the bone of a massive creature. The sight was terrifying. Something
on the creature's skull made the energy in Chu's body react. The system notified him. He had discovered An ancient factor. It asked if he wanted to absorb it. He immediately chose yes. As he absorbed the ancient factor, he began a powerful evolution. He gained the power of an ancient beast, the crimson flame. The energy flooded into him. The iguana began gathering an overwhelming surge of energy in its mouth. Then a massive explosion erupted from the continuous absorption. The blast was so powerful it wiped out an entire island. Meanwhile, back at the Warehouse, Chu held his
new sword. It weighed 120 kg, and the weight felt just right. He named it the heavenly sword. He was also satisfied with his titanium alloy armor. After his latest evolution, he gained the ability to sense other beings. He went back to the other world and was caught off guard by a little girl. He wondered if she was a survivor of Tiger Mountain Town, which would mean she might be a monster, too. Soon, several others appeared. The town seemed To come alive at night. Chu struck one of them down. The system notified him. Demon corpse defeated.
Five stat points earned. He instructed the system to enhance his heavenly sword. He was given options. He could upgrade durability, sharpness, armor piercing, monster damage, or add elemental effects like wind, fire, lightning, and more. He spent three points on durability and two points on sharpness. After that, he attacked another monster. He was fast, But still not satisfied with his current speed. Shu gave five points to increase his armor's resilience and give points to increase the sharpness. He looked around. When he saw that there were more monsters, he immediately attacked. The system kept notifying him of
the increase in his attribute points every kill he got. He moved swiftly until he saw a big monster that was about to attack him, but he's confident in his upgrades. The monster punched him and he Counterattacked with his fist. He realized that the monster was as strong as him, but it was too slow. Eventually, the system notified that he killed a fifth tier armored demon corpse and gained 100 attribute points. He also discovered the demon armor element, which he can absorb by spending 10 attribute points. Learning that it was fifth tier helped him understand why
it was so strong, and he had to hit it over 10 times just to kill it. He realized That he was still lacking a move. Out of the blue, he yelled, "Run!" He saw a girl underneath the table. It was the same girl who stole his chicken and was the one telling him to run. He realized that she doesn't have any ill intent. He approaches her and pats her head while introducing himself. This girl named Ji had just become his sister and he promised to take good care of her. He planned to bring her to
the city and get her a new set of clothes Under the bright sky. They drove around. While in the car, he asked her if she knew what the dark lake was in the flooded area. She replied that it's the black tide, but she doesn't know much except that it's dangerous. Eventually, they got back home after getting her a new white dress with the ribbon at the chest. She also has new pink shoes with a bow at the center. When the food arrived, she happily ran towards it. While eating, Chu checked his stats. He Thought about
his use of armor earlier. It helped suppress his crimson flame. If he went all out, it would have guaranteed a kill. With that, he used the remaining 80 attribute points to strengthen his armor. He just broke past the intermediate level and he's three times stronger now. Meanwhile, at Ning University, five people gathered in a cozy room where there's couches and a coffee table. One student told the others that the place they are going to Train for is at least at lieutenant level. That was a surprise to them. A female student asked if they had caught
the eye of some secret department. Someone walked inside and replied, "Yes." The man informed them that a special department has been established in the city. Once the training is over, successful participants will become lieutenants. But of course, there will be various dangers. He asked them if they want to join or if they'll just Give up. They all replied that they wanted to join. Meanwhile, at the warehouse, Chu kept training. His outer covering causes the crimson flames power to coalesce inside him and then explode outwards. He decided that it would be his oo move. His punch
had at least 150 tons of force. He named it exterminating flame. He finished 100 punches for his training. He imagined that if he ran into that demonic corpse again, three punches would be enough to defeat it. At Ning University's campus, Chu drove by. A student saw him and was in awe of how handsome he is. The man beside her replied that the car Chu drove was a luxury car. He assumed that Chu was born with a silver spoon. They were all in a car. A male student with glasses asked her why she cares about Chu
so much. The teacher replied that Chu saved her from kidnappers a month ago. They hardly believe it. Roya claims that Chu is really powerful. Meanwhile, Chu sat on a Bench with Shi while the Sea iguana roamed around the sea. Through the Sea iguana, he saw a yacht filled with bandits from Kangaroo Country. He decided to test his strength on it. The crew on the submarine got alarmed when the sonar detected a large life form 100 meters below and it was rapidly approaching. They got worried that it would hit them. The Sea iguana scratched the submarine
on the side. One crew reported that the two cabins at the back Of the vessel have been damaged and are leaking. The sonar has been damaged, too. The captain ordered the valves to stop the water from coming in. Then he turned on the multi-beam bathimemetry, had set a destination, and took a picture of the surroundings. They saw that it was a huge creature around 40 m long, and it looked bigger than a blue whale. The captain couldn't imagine something that huge. He ordered the back hatches closed and resurfaced. The crew Replied that the water ingress
was severe and the creature was still attacking. The captain ordered to fire the torpedoes and set the turbines to the maximum power and resurface as fast as possible. Chu felt the thrill when he saw the torpedoes coming. Chu was confident with his speed because he reached 200 kmh. So he knew that the torpedoes won't be able to catch up. He set his eye on the submarine. He dragged it so the Torpedoes would hit it instead of him. And it caused a big explosion. He realized that if he gets hit, he'd definitely be injured. That motivated
him to get stronger. After that, he attended an evening party. The student beside him shared that the new girl doing the ballet is one of the four prettiest of all new students, and she dances nimly as a bird. Chu recognized her. Cece also thinks that she's pretty. A blonde, sexy Lady was on the stage. Suddenly, a man came up to her. He brought her flowers and expressed his love to her. That didn't sit well with the crowd. The woman named Chiian replied that the audience doesn't like it and she doesn't like him either. After the
event, she walked up to Chu. She reminded him that she was the woman that was drugged on the streets. Chu remembered that and asked if there's an issue. She had this seducing look on her face while staying Quiet. Chu decided to just leave. She noticed that his car cost at least 2 million and he's wearing Gucci shoes, which are at least 30,000. She judged him to be born with a silver spoon, unlike a guy named Wei Xion. After that encounter, Chu got busy. Based on the info he got from Shiki, the black tide is coming
and he'll have to find a cave and everything on Earth will disappear. He found a cave 30 m deep and four or 5 m tall. In There, he killed a second tier mutated bone spear demon corpse and gained 20 attribute points. He also has killed a third tier mutated flaming demon corpse and gained 20 attribute points. He felt hot when he fought against the demon corpse that had evolved to wield a power of flame. He asked the system if he could still increase his clothes resistance to demon attacks. With 10 attribute points, his armor was
infused with materials from demons, and it has Ascended to become extraordinary. His extraordinary demon armor is immune to normal flames. Meanwhile, through the sea iguana, he looked at the vast Pacific Ocean while thinking how it doesn't have many deep water fish and mutated fish are hard to find. Because of that, he decided to hunt in fish farms. Somewhere underwater, he found 20 plush fish, which should be enough food for half a day. Going back to Chu, he's still fighting off monsters. This time, He's against a fast one. The monster saw him as food. Chu noticed
that the demon's sword skills are nimble. When it holds a blade, its arms shake twice, and the sword's trajectory changes. Since he already knew how it moves, he was certain he could end the fight now. He runs towards it. The monster had a devilish grin. It breathes fire towards his direction. Chu blocks it using his sword. It was surprised that he could withstand it. Then Chu slashed it. He Had just killed a burning flame demon corpse and gained 100 attribute points. With that, he discovered a fusion core element. He could spend 10 attribute points to
extract it. When he extracted it, his heavenly sword had melded with demonic materials and it had ascended to become extraordinary. He tried swinging his sword and he was pleased to have learned that he can combine the power of flame and lightning to make a blast of energy from his sword. On the other side Of the town, there's a giant spiderl looking monster. Chu saw it, but he didn't engage with it since the forest was getting too quiet and uncanny. So, he decided to return first. He's back at the warehouse. Zi offered to close the door
for him. He was surprised that she could close a formless door. He realized that her power over space is more mysterious than he thought. Closing the door favors him too since it would prevent any demon corpses from coming Out. Suddenly, the system notified him that he can increase his storage space. 10 attribute points equates to one square meter. He expressed that he wanted that. It was exactly what he needed. He was about to complain about how inconvenient it is to carry his sword around. Concurrently, the sea iguana is still devouring the fish. He liked how
the human farmed fish tasted. Chu realized that it had grown 5 or 6 m long and had gained over 500 evolution Points. Suddenly, a fishing boat came across a floating tuna on the water. The men found it strange because those tuna had enough oxygen. When they saw the blood, they realized that something happened to the tuna. They were surprised when they were suddenly attacked and the boat broke. Meanwhile, at the villa, Chu allocated the attribute points that he has. He used 40 attribute points to strengthen his qui sense and 60 points To strengthen his spring
kick. He also had broken through to the moonstep. His que sense had increased from 100 m to 500 m and the moonstep allows him to stay in the air for quite some time. While he was combing Zixie's hair, he watched the news where it reported that a black fog had appeared in the city. It covers hundreds of kilometers of the city and has caused the disappearance of over 50 people. He immediately thought that it was similar to the black tide. With that happening, he knew that peace won't last much longer. Concurrently at the sea of
Auding Island, there was a submarine and inside it was the professor and a muscular man. The muscular man asked the professor how the research was going. The man replied that they have retrieved a special substance from the giant beast's body and they even found how the beast heals itself. The lionl looking muscular man replied that with it they can create Extraordinary humans. They will also be able to control even the largest beasts. Eventually they ellighted the submarine and entered the cave while carrying a box. It was a miniature power plant and when they entered the
cave, there was a dragon with a sword lodged on its stomach and this gigantic creature was placed in a capsule. The researchers were informed that the installation has been completed. The power supply has been connected, too. One researcher Stated that the core's power has entered the beast's body and the beast has recovered. The beast is wise enough to know that the metal collar on it is enough to kill it. With that said, they expect it to be obedient. Now, another researcher was impressed with this professor named Kant because he's smarter than Einstein. They watched the
monster. Professor Kant claimed that it was a success and they could expect it to wake up soon. Chu saw that they were Trying to resuscitate the giant beast. He judged that they should die instead. He stepped inside. The researchers paked when they saw the sea iguana that is like Godzilla. Professor Kant ordered it to shoot it. Then he called a researcher named Sugioto and told him that they would head back to the submarine. The other men fired at it, but it had no effect. Professor Kant and Sugimoto ran towards the submarine. They were so terrified.
The attack caused the dust to cover the area, and when it settled, they saw that the large creature was unharmed. They couldn't believe it since it's a 24 mm armor, piercing round, and an exploding bullet. People use those weapons in civil wars. Chu realized that the humans were weak. He used an ultrasonic roar and killed those men through his flames. Meanwhile, Sugimoto rushed inside the submarine. Chu saw them running away. He breathes fire towards their direction. Then he checked the creature in the capsule. He had confirmed that it really resuscitated. He could feel its terrifying
aura. He keeps his distance while he attacks it. He was about to release a lightning beam. The creature tried to beg him to stop, but he electrocuted it. With that, he discovered a damaged ancient reason. He still absorbed it. At a random cafe, Chu was on the couch when the system informed him that his clone had rested. He gained plus 5 evolution points and plus 0.5 on physique. He realized that he can just get stronger from resting after absorbing the damaged reason. Suddenly, he received a message. Chunkan invited him for lunch. He told her that
he'll pick her up at 11:00 tomorrow. After that, he went through the teleportation door and battled with a flying monster. He used a powerful sword that could even rip a tank to shreds. He had killed a fourth tier demonic Creature and gained 50 attribute points. He was slightly disappointed because he thought it was at least fifth tier. He used his senses and arrived at the location of a giant wormlike creature. He was caught off guard when it damaged his armor. Because of that, he allocated 50 attribute points to strengthening his armor. The ground shattered when
he used a powerful force to leap high. He was about to swing his sword, but the creature had put up an energy wall. Eventually, he was able to slash it. He had killed a sixth tier demonic creature and gained 200 attribute points. He allocated 100 points to strengthening his external Qi, then another 100 points to strengthen his crimson flame. With that, the temperature on his flame increased from 3,000 to 10,000°. The distance of his attacks also increased to 30 m. He was pleased to know that he could take out one dragonfly with each strike. He
checked His stats. Then after that hunting session, he summarized what he can do. His external Qi increases his power. He has exterminating flame for his oho move. He has crimson flame for longd distance move and his Qi sense for sensing around him. And he also has various demon repelling armors and weapons. His next step is to train up collapsing punch skyep and his control over electricity and lightning. The next day at the rooftop there were three People gossiping. They saw Chian and commented that even her couldn't withstand the allure of a fancy car. Chian Kan
asked Chu what they would eat. She promised to treat him. He suggested having seafood. They arrived at the restaurant and he started ordering. She felt nervous because the order was over 70,000 while her budget was only 10,000. The price was already 3 months of her living expenses and allowance. She told him that she only has 10,000 and Suggested that he lends her money and she'll pay it back later. Chu told her that there's no need for that since he'll cover the bill. She asked him if he opened a seafood company. On top of that, she
hears that he doesn't come to school often because of his job. She told him that being a businessman suits him. He replied that it wasn't the case. And the reason why he doesn't go to school is because he was busy slaying monsters and leveling up. In reality, he Had no time to manage his company. She thought that he was talking about a game. He remained silent while thinking that if the apocalypse happens, he doesn't know if he'll still be able to enjoy such luxury. After eating, they went to a luxury goods store. Chen felt overwhelmed.
Chu did express that he wanted to go shopping, but she didn't expect him to shop at LV, a luxury store. Chu had spent 80,000 for a meal and Around 20 to 30,000 on clothes. It was too much for her. She realized that she couldn't even buy one of his buttons with her living allowance of 2,000 a month. He held her hand as he offered to buy her new clothes. She felt slightly offended that he grabbed her hand. In her head, Chu thinks of her as easy. Chu paid for it all through his card. The lady
at the cashier recognized him. She remembered that the girl he came with before was pretty, but now after a Month, he's with another prettier girl. Chenian couldn't believe that he spent $30,000 worth of clothes and it's only the first time they met. She saw how it was like to spend money like water. She wondered if he's going to bring her to a hotel next. It made her nervous. At the same time, at a nearby gym, a monster appeared. Chu had sensed it. He told Shiang that something came up, so he needed to send her back
to school at once. She realized that she must have Been overthinking. Chu could tell something was off, especially when a tear in space appeared nearby. Sometime later, he checked the gym. He realized that it was still the real world. And yet, a polluting aura has appeared. He found the creature on a narrow path. It attacked him, but he blasted its head with a single kick. It was a low-level polluted monster, which earned him.5 attribute points. He learned that it was just polluted and not demonic, just like The dark elf from before. A few hours later,
the corpse of the monster he defeated was investigated. The chief officer wanted to use the polluted individual to see if the team's hard work had paid off and yet someone killed it before they could. They could tell that it was done by someone who can control fire. The chief officer questioned, "Since when did someone who can control fire appear in their city?" Two watched the news where it was Reported that an immense number of tears in space have appeared in their world. They could tell that the apocalypse is coming. Our MC learned that the 99-year
apocalypse had arrived. In the past 20 years, over 500,000 citizens have died on that battlefield. He stated that those people had paid for 20 years of peace with their blood. And now they entered an era that belongs to ordinary people. He sent information about the apocalypse to his grandfather, but he Doesn't think it's enough. He knew that if he wanted more information, he needed to go to the special city bureau. Meanwhile, the sea iguana battles with a larger sea creature. That creature could turn water into heavy water, but it was still useless to chew. He
electrocuted it. He could imagine the points that he'll be getting once he eats that sea creature. Concurrently, at the branch office of the Specialty Bureau, the students were chilling in a room. One of Them stated that whoever killed that polluted monster yesterday was better than them. They speculated that it's a normal citizen who has awakened. The pink-haired woman thought of a familiar person who could do that. The chief officer entered the room and told them that someone had logged an evolved individual in the afternoon. He told them to take a look. It was Chu. He
wore a black suit with blue lining. Roya remembered that it was the guy who's Driving a luxury car in school. The pink-haired woman was happy to see him. And the chief officer finally found his suspect. He told Chu that if he wanted his evolution to be registered, he had to take a test. He showed him a machine that would measure his speed and power. Chu was okay with it. The machine that they will use can display up to 150,000 kg of force. So the chief officer encouraged him to hit it with all his might. The
students wondered among Themselves how strong Chu could be. Since he killed a polluted, they estimate him to be at least three stars. Roya thinks he would be at least four, though. One guy doesn't believe her. The one with the glasses noticed that Chu was confident that he could break the equipment. A black hair guy replied that it's such a joke because their captain has five stars and yet he's only 10,000. Chu punched it and garnered a score of 12,186 Kg. He didn't mean to overdo it. The students now believe that he deserves five stars. The
chief officer informed him that he had reached the standard of five stars. He can collect 50,000 WN at the Special City Bureau every month. If he's willing to join them, he'll be paid more and he will be promoted to vice head. Chu refused the offer since he prefers to be independent. Then the chief Guan asked him if he was the one Who killed the polluted monster yesterday. He replied, "Yes." With him having the power over flame too, Guan expressed that he's too strong, almost the same as the awakened individuals he saw back in the day.
And with his talent, he might be taken on by the fighting god Jang as a disciple if he joins the bureau. Chu realized that the fighting god Jang is what humans see as the ceiling of possibility. To him, his priority is to keep his giant lizard a Secret, and he also has ways to get stronger. With that, he declined the offer. After that, there was an N city special bureau announcement that was made. They celebrated Nity's first evolved individual. Chu was classified as level 5 with extraordinary strength and blue colored flame. He's the first among
all evolved civilians. There were a lot of comments about it. Tien Rui had read it and he immediately called Chu. He didn't expect it and given their Friendship, he requested him to take care of him in the future. Chu just laughed it off. After the news, even the classmates that he hadn't seen in years called to congratulate him. He had gotten so many calls already, but he enjoyed the feeling of being a god amongst men. After eating the giant whale, the giant lizard had become 90 m long, and his physique increased by 1,800 points. His
strength also increased from 29 tons to 70 tons. And With his armor, he knew he could take on an armor-piercing round. If he is compared to other evolved individuals, he would be at least level seven or eight. Chu knew that a seven-star rating should be the max that any awakened individual can hit. And yet, there's still a definite gap in power between that and the 10-star fighting gods. Chu could feel that in a peaceful world, even if his powers were to increase every day, if he doesn't have an equally Strong opponent, there is an unshakable
sense of emptiness. But everything had changed since the apocalypse had come, and horrifying monsters have stepped through spaceime towards their world. And now there are countless powerful awakened individuals, evolved individuals, and gods of war who would fight. That made our MC a little bit excited. Chu is aware that with the rate he's growing, he'll be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those gods Before long. He was even determined to surpass them and become an even more powerful being. But then his phone rang. It was messages from his workers congratulating and celebrating him. He replied that they'll
become like that one day, too. He just got ahead. Nian replied that she wanted to evolve into an angel. Ling Yu replied that they can't control what they will evolve into and she might become a toad. Chu laughed at their banter. He teased them that They shouldn't slack off while on the clock. Those three girls smiled at his message and replied, "Yes, at the warehouse." Chu took out his sword and he puts on his armor. Then he informed Zigshi that they will be going in. She made the door appear and informed Chu that it's already
open. Chu told her to wait for him there while he took a look inside. He stepped in. He could already tell that something was off. He wondered if the door brings them to a new place Every time they open it. If they want to be sure of the world that lies behind the door, Zichi has to keep it open. But it worries him since a monster might learn about the door's existence. He recalled that a spider-like monster that he saw some time ago could have already learned where the door is from the location that he
vanished. And it had sent a sausage-like monster over to chase him. Once they closed the door, it would bring them to another location When they opened it again, and he wanted to explore the previous location again. But he also thinks that a randomly generated world isn't bad either. The system notified him that the extremely high temperatures there will kill most living beings in seconds, but his crimson flames can offset the burning effect of the high temperatures. And with a stroke of luck, the warm wind even feels kind of refreshing. Then the system informed him that
his body is Being affected by the polluting substances in there. But his body's immunity has succeeded in temporarily blocking the effect of the polluted substances. His resistance would last for 15 hours. He realized that it doesn't matter how resilient his body is. It seems that it can't completely resist the effects of the pollution. He could imagine that those awakened individuals and war gods would be completely unaffected. He didn't dwell on that and proceeded on exploring the world. He used his key sense and waited if he'll sense something, but there's not a trace of life or
any monsters. He learned that the place is completely barren. It wasn't a surprise to him since such a hellish environment isn't suitable to live in. He decided to make another door. But as he was making his way back, he sensed something. A black shadow figure had attacked him, but he Immediately slashed it. Chu's attack didn't do any damage. It was a poisonous smoke monster with level three difficulty. He didn't even notice that it was there. He knew that the world has got something to do with it. The monster attacked again, but it crashed on Chu's
barrier. Chu realized that he didn't fail to pick up on them. It was just that those creatures aren't alive. And since it is a filthy monster, he has to use the evil spirit repelling thunder to Destroy it. The monster was caught off guard when Chu started releasing lightning from his body. Chu made an electric arrow and fired it. The monster was hit directly at its torso. Then it slowly disintegrated. The system informed him that he had killed a third tier strange monster and had obtained 20 stat points. That monster was new to him. He evaluated
that it looked powerful, but its special ability wasn't a good match against physical attacks. He couldn't harm it using his sword, and since it was born out of lava, fire attacks were also useless. He felt lucky to have a talent that counters it. If not, it would have been extremely difficult for him. He saw something on his peripherals. He was surprised to learn that it was Zixie. He immediately ran to her and reminded her to wait at the door since it's dangerous there. Zixs expressed that she was worried for him since it's dangerous. Chu let
it go As he realized that the world outside the door might not even be safe either. He told her to stay far behind him and she shouldn't move under any circumstances. She agreed to it and made herself invisible. Chu was back in fighting mode. He used his chewy sense again, but there was nothing until the ground he's on caved in. He moved quickly. He jumped through the rocks to reach a safe ground. He kept going. He reached the tallest Boulder. And when he checked his surroundings, the rocks were placed strategically, as if it was a
building. But with the seal on those, it was more like a prison, and it could hide a huge monster's aura. He realized that it might be the real hidden treasure in that world. It was a true dragon named Vandenfeld. Fiery wings tied on the rocks. Chu couldn't even imagine what stats it Would have. The dragon called him foolish for challenging him without even a care for their lives. The dragon told him that it's his world and it decided to be merciful to the intruder by giving him two choices. One is he will be buried there,
but of course there won't be any ash left to bury and the other is that he would become his servant. and as long as he kneels and recognizes its power, he will live. Without hesitation, Chu replied that he doesn't want Anything to do with him except that he's interested in his bones. It angered the dragon. It started flapping its wings and the monsters jumped out of the lava. Chu sensed them and commented that poisonous smoke monsters were impressive at first. Then he realized that if he agreed to be the dragon's servant, he would end up
like that. The dragon ordered to kill him and pull his corpse into the river of lava. Chu watched them approach. Then he thought of something. He released lighting and electrocuted them all. The dragon was confused that his servants were gone in an instant. Chu realized that having a black dragon as a pet would be interesting. He suggested that the dragon would be his servant instead. That made the dragon angry. They called him an idiot. The ground started to shatter. Chu gripped his sword while the dragon roared loudly. He attacked using flash. He scratched the side
of the neck of the Dragon and it bled. The dragon became so furious and it vowed to send him to hell. Its breath turned into flames and it unleashed a dragon's hellfire. Chu activated his crimson flame that shielded him from the flames. Then he teased the dragon if that's all it can do. So Vandenfeld inhaled deeply. It told Chu to burn to ashes. Then it unleashed a powerful fire breath. The area was covered with smoke. The dragon boasted that in his world, no one has Been able to withstand even a second of his hellfire. Within
the smoke, Chu replied that he thought the dragon was actually powerful, but it was just an oversized haird dryer. The dragon was surprised to find him unscathed. He gathered energy in his mouth. Chu charged towards it and smacked its jaw. The dragon released the fire towards his direction. Chu was back on the ground. He told the dragon that he has an extraordinary power over flame And the power of a monster emperor's armor, so he's well protected against fire. He could easily ignore the heat from the dragon. The dragon realized that he was immune to his
fire. He finds it interesting. It decided to attack using its teeth. It tried to eat him, but Chu evaded the attack. Then he landed on the dragon's back and pierced it with his sword. Then he released lightning, but unexpectedly his sword got stuck. That got our MC to think Something out. He forcefully took it out. Then he jumped down from the dragon. He noticed that it changed its color to red. The dragon told him that his efforts were useless. Chu opened his armament. He's showing the little move he learned from fiery wings bloody explosion. His
body slightly transformed. The dragon was even more annoyed now that he dared to steal his power. Chu attacked and with one swing of his sword, he cut the dragon and its Head tumbled. The system notified him that he had killed a fifth tier dragon type demon and obtained 1,000 stat points. With that, their game was over. Sixie disabled her invisibility. She expressed that Chu was so powerful that the dragon ended up dead. Chu realized that it's the effect of having 4,000 stat in his physique. He admitted that it was too powerful that it was already
scary and he only even used 10% of his QE. He expects his natural recovery to Cancel that out. His slight transformation was undone. He called his new skill bloody explosion type 1. Chu started seeing the important parts of the dragon like the scales, teeth, flesh, even the lavaike blood can all be an extraordinary material. He estimated that the head alone would be worth at least 100 million to the government. But there was just one issue. There was no way for him to explain how he got the head. If he says he killed it alone, it
Would expose him to be a powerful person worthy of sixth or seventh tier. He helped Jixie come down from the dragon's head. Chu decided to keep the head for now. He had exchanged 200 attributes for storage space. The dragon head has been stored. He used 400 attribute points to strengthen his intuition so he could see more between the lines. The system notified him that he successfully strengthened his intuition and he had obtained a highle intuition. The aura of The monster cannot be hidden from him and inanimate objects can also be detected. Then he spent 400
attribute points to strengthen the intimidation of his armor. That was successful too. He was happy about it. His body exudes power. The system notified him that he had awakened King's intimidation. There was a rumor that it can cause a person to tremble in fear, and even a mere eye contact can render them completely powerless. "Our MC just gained the power To use the Conqueror's hockey." He sighed and made the aura disappear. He planned to use that to clear out the fishes. Meanwhile, at our country's long-d distanceance fishing ship, the crew on board were happy that
something got on the hook. They pulled out a net and saw that they caught some fish. But it was odd how few there were. But it didn't matter as long as it's alive. Suddenly, they saw something. It seemed like there's something on the sea. A Portion of the sea had lightning. Then it exploded, launching a school of fish into the air. It was raining fish, and the fishermen were so happy. The giant lizard ate some of it. Then it dove deep under the sea. Chu realized that the king's intimidation made the lizard's oppression even stronger.
Nothing could move in its area of effect. There was a crackling sound when he emits lightning. He combined his flames and electricity to fly. Humans had always yearned for The skies. And as long as he combines the power of electricity and fire, he can be free of gravity's confines. He soared into the sky. While he was roaming around, he saw something. There was infrastructure up ahead. His intuition tells him that there are unexplored places in the world. He could tell that even the dragon who ruled that world was oblivious of other places existence. Firewing is
only the magic dragon that has been imprisoned there, But he could tell that there's a higher power that is trying to imprison it. He decided to check on what's going on. He arrived at the ruins of the kingdom of giants. There were carvings on the walls. Chu learned that there used to be a dragon civilization there. He got curious on what they were worshiping. Then he saw the door. He could tell it was extremely dangerous, but the only way for him to learn everything is going into it. When he entered, the path was Lined with
statues of dragons. Fiery Wing, the dragon that he killed, has a statue in there, too. The system notified him that the pollution in the area has strengthened. He was temporarily immune to the pollution due to his strong physique. But in 3 hours, his physique will be weakened and he will be affected by the pollution. His intuition was right that something strange was in the temple. It hasn't even shown its true self, and yet it's Already causing so much pollution. He yelled at it to stop hiding because he knew it was there. His voice echoed and
that caught him off guard. And then something moved so fast that it only left a trail of light. It attacked him, but he was able to deflect its attack using his sword. He asked who it was. When it revealed itself, it was a human body with four arms, and it was faceless. It spoke that a venerable one had awakened. The creature's face was Pitch black with a single red eye mark on it. It looked so creepy that Chu was left speechless. Then the creature stretched out its hand and uttered one word. Eternity. Chu immediately felt
something was wrong. He stabbed his sword into the ground, forming a barrier to block the incoming attack. That's when it hit him. He wasn't just facing a sixth tier monster. He was sure this was a seventh tier monster. The creature demanded that he worship and surrender. A powerful force began pulling him down, trying to force him to kneel, but that triggered something in Chew. With a loud roar, he pushed back, using his full strength. The ground shook as debris flew in every direction. An explosion erupted from the pressure. Our MC suddenly transformed. He vowed to
kill the monster. The monster watched coldly, then unleashed a skill called blood explosion. Form one. Chunks of debris flew toward our MC. Chu slashed them all Down with lightning speed. Not a single one touched him. His movements were sharp, fast, and precise. Then he spun his sword in a blur, blocking a barrage of rocks. In a flash, he moved again and countered. With blinding speed, he sliced through the monster's limbs. Then he landed on the ground, thinking it was over. But to his shock, the monster reappeared behind him, placing two fingers at the back of
his head. It sneered and called him a disgusting ant. A massive explosion followed. The area was swallowed by smoke and chaos, but then the monster was stunned. Chu appeared right in front of him. His face was covered in flames. The monster quickly backed away. Then it began charging energy in all four of its hands. Chu sliced a pillar in half, then dashed toward the monster. He slashed through its torso, but it was only an illusion the real monster was hiding behind it. Thinking it had tricked Chu, The monster let its guard down when a sword
pierced through its chest. Our MC had already anticipated the move and stabbed it from behind. He then uttered blood explosion. Form two. The monster then grabbed his arm and called him arrogant. Then it triggered an explosion. Chu's sword pierced the ground. He realized it was only slowing him down, so he chose to fight with his bare hands. Excited, he charged in again. The monster created a protective Barrier, but Chu didn't care. He just punched right through it. The whole area exploded. The monster crashed on the ground. Just right after that, it was blasted away. A
crack formed on its face. Chu ran towards it at the speed of light. He came close to its head. Then he grabbed it and pushed it down to the ground. The impact shattered the area and dust scattered everywhere. Little did he know the monster was behind him and it had set its eyes on him. It used The Skill and Trap. Chu turned around when he sensed it, but the ground beneath him shattered. Then chains were wrapped around him. It restricted his movement. The system informed him that the dragon ceiling formation can absorb the energy of
the item it has sealed and use it to strengthen itself. The monster told him that the more he tries, the harder it will be to escape his binds. Chu asked if that is how he bound the dragons. Chu yanked at the chains and Expressed that it's a pity that it wasn't quite good enough to seal him. Our boy concentrated and focused his energy. He pulled the chains while stating that he's different from those dumb dragons. He eventually broke free. His body exudes flames. He told the monster to listen. Then he told it his name. My
name is Chen Chu. The monster watched him. Chu stood tall while the monster floated in the air. Our boy then took a step. The force from his body made the ground shatter. Flames wrapped around his leg. Then he disappeared. He floated in the sky, too got ready to punch the monster. He approaches it quickly, but when his fist was about to land, the monster ducked. He chased after it, and this time his punch landed, causing it to be blasted away. He electrocuted it too, causing its limbs to tear. The monster was falling. Chu rushed towards
it and gave It a powerful punch. It hit the ground with a powerful impact. The dust slowly settled. The monster stared at Chu who was looming over it. He made a hole in its chest when he took its heart because he wanted its power. The system notified him that the crimson flame had ascended to become glass crimson flame. Also, lightning has ascended to become a swift thunderstorm. He also obtained a dragon sealing talisman. It combined beings below the sixth tier. The system also Notified him that he had overexerted himself. He had been 99% polluted by
the strange pollution. Zigshi ran to him and told him that pollution was dangerous. Chu explained that he fought for too long, so the pollution got worse. He knew he couldn't stay there any longer. He flew to get back. Without the exalted ones protection, the world of dragons and giants began to fall apart. The world was in chaos, so they ran towards the door. Zixie was almost near it, but Chu had stopped. As he laid there on the ground, he couldn't move anymore. Zixie told him that the door was closed. Chu coughed blood. He knew that
once it closed, it lost its connection to the other world. They had no idea where it would open next. Zixie got worried for him. He assured her that he's fine. He accepted the price to pay for power. Although the blood explosion seems like just an explosion of pure power, only someone with an insanely powerful person Would be able to withstand it, if a normal person used even type one of it, their blood would be vaporized in an instant, leaving behind a withered corpse. Chu realized that to break through to type three, he needed to increase
his physique even more. He tried to stand up. Since the teleportation door had already closed, he decided to rest for now. Meanwhile, at the ruins of the palace in the land of giants, the monster's corpse Lay motionless in a crater. Judging by the damage, there was no way it should have survived. But suddenly, it took a sharp breath. Then, it stood up. It looked disoriented at first, then shot up into the sky. Elsewhere, a soldier reported that at 35° north, about 1,200 m away, a group of fifth tier polluted monsters had appeared. He requested artillery
support. The monsters began crawling out from a deep crease in the ground. The military forces responded. This was somewhere near Case City. Missiles were launched in waves. There were 6 minutes left before the second volley. They hoped the monsters wouldn't run off before then. One of the soldiers told the other to relax. He pointed out that the monsters were eating their own kind and hadn't moved from their position. Seth, the leader of the three-man unit, asked for the pollution level. Mark checked and replied, "15.5%." Mark estimated that they could hold the monsters off for 8
hours. Seth nodded and said, "That's enough time to bring it back." The bald man with them commented that the seven fifth tier monster corpses would sell for a good price. Even if the bodies were incomplete, they were still worth a lot. Mark replied that they should use the money to increase their strength. He added that even if only a third of the monsters remained, he'd still be happy. Seth told them to focus on the blessings instead. They watched the explosions go off one after another. They all knew that without the base's support, any one of
those monsters, if at full strength, could easily kill them. Seth said it was time to get to work. Tyler, the bald man, and Mark would help him retrieve the monster corpses. Seth expected they could extract at least five bottles of purifying energy. He planned to keep three and sell the remaining two. They Knew that on the black market, each bottle was worth around 200 million. With that money, they could live like kings, at least for a while. Then, without warning, a massive creature appeared. It looked just like the one Chu had fought earlier. The three
men were stunned. They looked like ants compared to it. Mark's system picked up a spike in pollution levels, but before he could even finish his sentence, his head was sliced off. Seth screamed, "Run!" Tyler was crushed in an instant. Seth ran with everything he had. The monster spotted him fleeing and locked onto him. Suddenly, Seth's eyes and ears began to bleed. Then, his entire body exploded. At the same time, in Munch's apocalypse base, a report came in. An apocalyptic event had begun. As a result, they activated their highest level defenses. The goal, eliminate all major
threats for the survival of humanity. A rocket was then Launched. It flew into outer space and detonated near the giant creature that had just wiped out Seth and his team. All of this happened while Chu was still peacefully asleep. Chu eventually woke up and got out of bed. He went to knock on Zixie's door to let her know it was time for breakfast. Still half asleep, Zixie opened the door and asked Chu for a hug. Our MC savored the moment. He hugged her and she immediately fell back asleep in his arms. While carrying her, The
doorbell rang. A woman stood at the door. She wore a speedy takeaways jacket, the one with the slogan, "Chasing hunger away." She told Chu his food had arrived. This woman was Huang Fu Xian. Chu opened the door while still holding Shikshi. Xean greeted him and handed over the bag. Our MC then noticed her motorcycle. He commented that it was the first time he'd seen a woman delivering takeout at dawn on a $100,000 motorcycle. She fired back, saying she'd Never seen someone living in a luxury mansion, ordering takeout everyday, and with a child, no less. Chu
felt like she knew him a little too well and gave off a dangerous aura. She dropped the bag in surprise. A chill ran down her spine when she realized who he was. The first person of the new generation of evolved beings. She suddenly got very excited about meeting him in person. Chu found her behavior strange and asked what she was doing here. She unzipped her jacket And confidently said she was there to pursue him. Chu was stunned. He was speechless as she repeated that her plan was to pursue him. She headed back to her bike,
but before leaving, she told him to remember her name and mentioned she lived nearby. She promised to see him again on his next order. After she left, Tanu arrived with some news. Chu replied that the Special Investigation Bureau always rushes in when pollution starts spreading. Tanrew disagreed, Saying they couldn't compare to Chu because Chu answers to no one. That, he explained, is exactly why people are trying to figure out whose side Chu is on. Chu asked what he meant. Tanu realized Chu hadn't heard the latest news. He explained that as of yesterday, most of the
properties near the mountain had changed hands. Chu had become so wellknown that the land value tripled. Now all the rich people in the city were fighting to move closer to him. They Claimed they wanted his help, but in truth, they were after his resources. Tanu knew that Chu could have anything, money, influence, women, as long as he was willing to help when the monsters arrived. Chu gave it some thought. Tanrew didn't blame the rich folks. After all, they were just businessmen. They simply wanted to invite Chu for a meal, which was why Tanu came to
see him. Chu agreed to the invitation. Tanrew was pleased. He reminded Chu to Stick to his word and told him they'd meet at Linshus Supreme Hotel that afternoon. Then, Tanu remembered Zean, the girl from earlier. He asked Chu if he knew her. Chu replied casually, saying she suddenly showed up and said she was going to pursue him. Tanu chuckled. He knew she could be a bit much. She was young and bold, and when she wanted something, she went after it without hesitation. Still, he warned Chu to be careful. Her backer is Huang Fuai, The richest
man in N city. News spread across the world. It was about the worsening global pollution. Z country had deployed its most advanced equipment to reduce pollution levels. For now, peace and order had been restored. Other headlines followed. Y village had been invaded by monsters and polluted. Hundreds were killed in the attack. In our country, a temple was polluted by the vengeful spirit of a woman who had been buried alive by monks. She turned Into a terrifying monster and killed 20 people. There was also a report that Z Country had begun addressing the apocalyptic event from
20 years ago. They had developed a perfect defense system and stockpiled essential resources. Because of this, Zcountry has officially become the safest city in the world. With global tension rising, countless wealthy individuals were flocking to Z country, but many got stuck at the border due to overcrowding. A black market even emerged selling so-called calamity avoiding contracts. At Ning Chong University, Tiangan was busy practicing her foreign language skills. One of Tian's classmates asked her why they were still putting so much effort into studying when the apocalypse might be right around the corner. The girl wondered aloud
if she'd even get a chance to work for a multinational company after graduation or if she'd end up just being a translator. But with the Current state of the world, those thoughts didn't matter much anymore. No one knew if they'd even survive the coming days. She joked about maybe just finding a powerful guy to marry instead. That made Chunky think of Chu, a five-star awakened individual with the extraordinary power to control flame. He was incredibly famous, even more so than some celebrities. online discussions about him could fill thousands of pages, although he also had plenty
of haters. Her friend turned to her and asked, "So, what's going on between you two?" She even teased, asking if they had slept together. Shenkians face turned red. Chu was powerful, gifted, and good-looking, the total package. There was nothing to complain about. At school, they had pretended to be in a relationship. But now, Chian found herself questioning her true feelings. Just as she was thinking about him, Chu called. She politely excused herself to Answer the phone. Jenin answered the call and asked why Chu was calling. Chu asked if she was free that afternoon. He had
made a lunch reservation and wanted her to come. She said yes. Meanwhile, at Hang Fuai's villa, Fuai asked Zean if she had seen Chu. She nodded and said yes. He asked how the meeting went. Xian replied that Chu knew she was investigating him and when he's focused, he can be intimidating, like he's not someone to be taken lightly. She stated That he's a guy who's capable of being a king. Futai replied that it looks like her previous father's investment was right. She told him that if he wants to buy Chu with a few millions, it
won't happen. Futai argues that he's just a brat while he's an old guy with tons of business experience, so there's no chance that Chu would outsmart him. She reasoned that the world has changed. She told him that money isn't always a solution, but power is. He couldn't Understand her, so he assumed that she already liked him despite meeting him just once. He asked her what she told him. She clarified that she's chasing him not because of him, but because she wanted something from him. That's because she simply liked him. Futai asked if she's serious. She
replied, "Yes, because he made her feel something." He got angry since all the powerful families from N City, H, and even Sity have their eyes on her. And he Knew exactly how they manipulate others. He stated that it could be through money, women, power. He believes that any human wants and emotions can be used. He knew that those wealthy people just wanted to get their hands on Chu and make him serve them. He told her daughter that she's too naive to fight with them. She confidently replied that a way to a man's heart is through
their stomach. Her father agreed. Then he questioned if she plans to learn Cooking. In his head, he knew that his daughter is famous for being slightly crazy. And now that she likes a man, she decided to change herself for him. A plus factor is that she's pretty. With all those things, he could tell that she could capture his heart. Xian stated that she swore off cooking since she nearly burned down her old house several times. Futai asked what she planned to do. She showed him the tagline on her jacket. Her plan is to deliver takeout
To him only. She used his name to start a takeout company. He was dumbfounded. She knew about Chu's properties like his old rental house, the warehouse, and even the villa. And she also knew that he always relies on delivery for his food, even breakfast. So she searched for someone who could take his phone and download a delivery app. So when he places an order, she'll know it and she could send it to him personally. Futai couldn't believe it. This Ridiculous idea was giving him a heart attack. While she's confident that Chu would be soon touched
by her sincerity. Back to our MC, Chu drove his car. He went to the west gate of Ning University. His car caught the attention of the people, they wished that they were the one being picked up, but it was Chianqyun. He told her to get on. Some students at a distance looked at him with envy. One male student commented that they looked like trash when beside Him. His friend told him not to let someone's ambition affect him, especially when they are all evolved, so he's certain that their group will be able to catch up to
them. He believes that Chu was just ahead of them. And the department head even said that the three of them are the cream of the crop selected from the million people in N City. He added that Chu just got lucky. Lindsay, their other friend, was distracted. He blushed as he looked at The pretty girls. He was smacked at the back of his head while being told not to get distracted. Then the guy added that Chu was arrogant and the girls kept flocking to him. So what's important for them at that moment was to get stronger.
Lzu asked if they shouldn't tell Roya what they just saw. He's worried since Chu looks like he's got a girlfriend now. His friend knew he liked Roya and Roya liked Chu. The student cheered for his friend by saying that he can fight Fairly and if he doesn't win, at least he'll be a true man. He added that talking people behind their back is not what a hero would do. Meanwhile, Chu drove fast. Tian brought up the topic about the second apocalypse in two weeks. She asked him if he'll do anything about the monsters when the
special tasks bureau isn't able to handle them. He asked why she would suddenly ask that. She replied that there are a lot of people criticizing Him on the internet saying that he's a coward. He asked if it's because he didn't join the special tasks bureau. She told him that people say that he didn't join the bureau because he couldn't face the monsters that will appear in 2 weeks. Chu replied that he's the first student in the country to have evolved and naturally there would be people who didn't like him. He admits that the crown of
glory is heavy. She asked if there happens to be a monster Powerful enough to turn the world upside down and the special task bureau becomes short staffed if he'd help them. He confidently replied that he will stand on the front lines with no hesitation. He explained that he didn't join the bureau because he didn't want to be constrained by red tape. He didn't like reporting and being limited. Chunky realized that the person she liked isn't a coward. They arrived at the hotel. Chu Introduced himself. Chenan was surprised to see the billionaires from top companies. A
middle-aged man welcomed Chu. He stated that his useless son had already updated Chu on the situation. He replied that he knew the gist of it. Lie Jung Hong immediately talked about business. They wanted to ensure their security during the upcoming apocalypse, and they have decided to form a security council and would like to invite him as a chair. He explained that the security Council was meant to protect them and ensure that the villas around the hill will not be damaged by polluted monsters. He added that since they are being protected, it is only natural that
they would pay him 100 million a month. Chunky was surprised with that amount. Chu replied that it doesn't sound bad at all, but he wanted that to be the price for each billionaire in the villas. He also wanted them to take charge of collecting the money from 30 plus Billionaires living there. He's aware that if that amount was split up, one family would only need to cough up a million. But he's also aware that if those families joined the council, they would be charged with the joining fee, too. He estimated it to be around 10
million or 100. Thus, those billionaires were making it a profitable business. Futai straight up asks him if he means to say that it's not enough payment. Chu said that during peaceful times, rich People stick together, use money to fix problems, and act superior. And now that the apocalypse has brought them off their horses in an instant, everyone is equally threatened by polluted monsters. He said there's no more difference between the rich and the poor and that upsets those who spent their lives earning millions. He expressed that he understands them the best. Chun Hong explained that
they only did that because a tear in space occurred a few Nights ago and the bureau had to use nuclear weapons to drive the monsters back. If Chu agrees, he promised him 200 million. He expressed that the old folks just wanted to be able to sleep peacefully at night. Futai brought up the topic that Chung Hongs son is in the special tasks bureau, so he's the most familiar with the efficiency of those slackers. He stated that if those guys are reliable, they wouldn't have that meeting. Futai offered Chu 300 million a Month. As long as
Chu agrees, he'd immediately send that to him straight from his pocket. Shu replied that money will become useless paper. He told them that after a few attacks, their cash will be reduced to a mere fire started. He demonstrated by burning the bill he's holding. They panicked when they heard that. They asked him, "What if he means that in two weeks, money would become useless?" Chung Hong couldn't believe it because the officials said that the Apocalypse was just a normal level. Chu had to point out that in the media reports only the normal evolved individuals are
being dispatched to face the attacks. That made Chung Hong contemplate. Then Chu prompted them to think as to why wasn't the special tasks bureau able to dig out a four-star awakened individual. It was because they are trying to suppress the five doors of the apocalypse, which means that the area they were on wasn't the real Battlefield. The officials can't even take care of themselves, so they wouldn't be able to help them. Futai asked him what he wanted. He replied that he doesn't want money, but he wanted the special type of dirt produced in Jong, Vai's
specialized medicine, and a special gold plantain exports. The billionaires were left speechless. Then Chu stated that he wants to see the blueprints of the mountains fortress in 3 days, and he Wants to see defenses completed in 1 month. Chun Hong was confused. He questioned when the villas became a line of defense. Then it hits him. Chu explained that the villas around the mountain will be the center point. Using the geography of the mountain, it will be easy to defend. Even if the whole world faces an apocalypse event, the people there will be able to live
for years with air flow, electricity, ample space, clean water, food, and medicine. Once they have fulfilled his request, only then he will say yes, being a chair of the security council, and will swear to protect them. They realize now why he's the strongest person in the country. He is fearsome in strength and mind. They applauded him. Chungian was impressed too. Chan Rui was amazed how he impressed them all. Chu replied that everyone will win in that scenario. Tianu brought up that his dad has stocks in the hotel, so he gave them a key card And
urged them to go and have fun. He decided to leave first so he wouldn't get in their way. Chu told Tian that he had something to discuss with her, and they couldn't just waste Ten Ron's gift. She blushed and agreed to it. They entered the hotel. The room was a luxury executive suite. Chu removed his coat. He could tell that the space blocks all the noise. It has been shielded and signals can't leave there, nor could he be spied on. Said that they're too fast. Chu pats her head and asks her to be his girlfriend.
He emits a bit of his power through his finger. He was cautious in controlling her energy because she's a normal person. After all, he's an extraordinary human with four or 5,000 physiques. He had her lay down. He's careful because the slightest carelessness will smash her body to bits. When his finger touched her body, she felt electrocuted. It left her unconscious. But Chu could see that her Body is being melded with the energy and is slowly changing. There was no pollution or mutation, and all he could do was wait and see. He used the dragon ceiling
stamp to take a portion of the energy from the monsters that he had eaten and turn it into seeds, which when planted into a normal person, will cause them to evolve. It was a little dangerous, but he wanted her to evolve, too. an hour ago. He told her that each wave of the apocalypse will only get Stronger, and when that happens, he knew she wouldn't be able to finish college. She was puzzled about what she'll do if she can't study. She asked if she'll just keep running away from the monsters. He advised her to look
towards herself for the answer. Then he asked if she wanted to be an evolved individual. She was shocked to learn that she could evolve, too. It was her dream. He told her that he can use the dragon ceiling stamp to crystallize a portion of Monster power. Once her body has absorbed the energy of the crystal, she will be as powerful as if she had evolved. He also told her that if she can't control it, not only will she never evolve, she will become a monster herself. He asked her if she's willing to take the risk.
She was silent. Then she replied that if he's the one doing it, she won't feel scared, and also she wants to be independent, too, so she can protect her mother and fight by his Side. She never wanted to be a burden. Chu smiled. He instructed her not to move since it was his first time and he might have gotten to the wrong place. She replied that it was her first time too. On the screen, it was narrated that when the dust has settled, a superhero will take the stage. This superhero is the embodiment of strength
itself, the fearless protector of the city. They called him the four-star evolved Tien Long. With his shrinking body of metal, He will rend the darkness and destroy all danger. Each of his strikes is a step towards freedom. Each appearance of his strikes fear into the heart of evil. He is a true man that never turns to look at the explosion behind him because he knows that his true battle lies ahead. Everyone was encouraged to cheer for him and applaud him. That gives him the strength to forge the path onwards. The legend Tienlong was presented to
everyone. That was the short film Created for the Shenhu's city special task bureau. It garnered several hundred,000 followers on their app. It also featured the Jing Hai city's bureau's five-star captain. The video was viral that it can make a few million without batting an eye and they're easy, too. Chu asked if they were made using special effects. The curly-haired woman replied that it wasn't entirely effective. The app can turn on filters with a single tap. It automatically Makes the moves look even more powerful. She stated that apps like those need to help evolved individuals advertise
themselves so that they can get the public's trust. That's why they have signed contracts with many special tasks, bureaus, and evolved individuals recently. And Chu was one of the celebrities that they wanted to sign a contract with, especially when the government recognized him as the first person of The new generation of evolved individuals. All they needed was for him to display his power and they would use their package to advertise him. They expect his popularity will explode and he'll have no problem finding sponsors. She showed him some of the sponsored videos. The first video showed
a muscular man on a cup of instant noodles. The messaging was that if the people ate the superhuman instant noodles, they would become their hope in The fight against the apocalypse, and they will remain energetic despite the pressure once they eat it. The next ad is about an explosively bouncer sneakers that could outrun the capital costs of the apocalypse. It was made out of recycled materials, allowing the owner to leap past the monotony of everyday life and the work's KPI. The last one is a product called Absolute Defense, specially designed for use during the apocalypse.
They used impenetrable Materials on a nano level to help the user in managing their emotions and sickness. So regardless if it's a date or a casual thing, it will help the user fulfill their wish before the apocalypse. The video of this showed a naked man in bliss with a background of a large heart. The woman promised Chu that as long as he agreed to do live stream on their app and became a famous live streamer with millions of fans, they would meet whatever terms he Wanted. Chu told her that he's not a celebrity. The woman
asked him if he had no idea how popular he is. She told him that with his looks alone, there would be millions of female fans clamoring to become his followers. And as long as he shows his face on the fan group chat, he'd get any girl he wanted. That made him stop and think. Then he replied that he's not interested. He called his secretary to escort the woman out. She still didn't give up and offered him 100 Million a year just for shooting an advertisement video. Chu gave a firm order to send her away. She
yelled that they need a true hero and it's something that only he can do. He ordered them to halt. She showed him M City's superhuman Hulk, who can become a 5 m tall giant green ape in an instant. Once he's transformed, he's unstoppably powerful and immune to weapons. He can run 100 meters in a second and easily destroy tanks. And to the people of M City, he Is their god. She added that there's a superhuman in Y country's army called Yali Shondaanda. His left hand can turn into a king's sword. A single video of him
has been played 500 million times. They call him the human blade and he's the city's legendary general. Additionally, there's a person who can turn themselves into flames in F- City and someone who can freeze the air itself in D City. A transformer in J City who can stretch themselves like Rubber and jump between buildings. And there's also someone who can turn themselves invisible. She reasoned that it is normal for ordinary people to be filled with fear and uncertainty in the face of apocalypse and they need a true hero, a hero who can make them feel
safe and who can give them hope. She uttered that those heroes had become a symbol of their countries and they needed something like that too. Chu considered It since increasing his sphere of control won't be a bad thing, especially when there are people criticizing him online. He declined the live stream but accepted filming a video. Mrs. Wong was delighted. They filmed the video where he was on top of the building. Then he leapt down while the narration happened. It was narrated that his blade strikes with precision and grace and he moves through the air in
a deadly dance. As the narration continues, they call him a True hero that fights not for glory, but for every last life on Earth. The video showed him slashing a monster. Then he was described as the first evolved individual of the new generation and a fearless and legendary protector. In the end city's special tasks bureau, those four men in the room watched Chu's video, and one of them got offended thinking that it was something like an apocalypse game made to toy with them. One of them commented that there's so Much special effects that it doesn't
look real anymore. Lones replied that there aren't any special effects. It was just exaggerated. Guan thinks that it's because Chu is more powerful than five stars and he evolved to awaken. He could tell that the gap between them is getting wider at a shrine somewhere. The monks greeted the great Tangu. The Tangu came out of the portal. He was followed by a woman. The woman is named Izanami. The monks were flustered, but they also Greeted her. She asked them if they had discovered the cubs of the ancient beast. The monk leader replied that the giant
beast was near our city's sea, but it was M. City who first discovered it. He explained that according to national law, the resources from such a beast should belong to all of mankind, but the one who has discovered it was prioritized. In the end, they could only get 30% of the resources. She doesn't believe in International law and suggested that if they were to kill it first, then all of its resources would be controlled by them. In another setting, a submarine traverses the ocean. Divers went out. It was M. Count's Poseidon assault team. They saw
huge footprints on the seabed. They were shocked when they found the whale monster with a 20 m long skull. It was gigantic. Then their machine read that there's 46 SV radiation, and the source of it came from deep inside the Cave. Little did they know our boy's Godzilla was there lurking. One of the divers got spooked. He asked the others if they heard it. Then his machine beeped again. The man got nervous when it felt strange. The radiation count kept increasing. It eventually reached 1,000 severs. They knew there's no way it would go that high
unless they are near a nuclear waste site. Choose giant lizards saw them. The radiation Increased to 1,500. A man asked what that creature in front of them was. Meanwhile, at Se Fun City's haunted house, the chief officer scolded the staff after finding out that someone had disappeared and they didn't immediately file a police report. The staff replied that he just thought that a tourist had just gotten lost. It hadn't been 24 hours since he sent some people to search nearby. He got nervous with the chief's threatening aura. The chief Concluded that the man was afraid
that it would affect his business. The man was speechless. The chief pointed out that there are three people who disappeared in the evening, plus one yesterday and the day before that. In total, five people were swallowed up by the haunted house. He told them that the special task bureau will handle it. A few moments later, one of them detected pollution, but strangely, it was gone before they entered the haunted house. Their captain replied that it's likely because they are dealing with a strange monster, so it absorbed all the polluted energy within its domain. One of
them questioned if the themed room is on the map that the director gave them. Talismans flew around. Out of nowhere, a woman appeared upside down right in front of their face. The scared man hit it with a stick. It was just a doll and it broke. The black-haired woman teased him. He admitted that he thought it was Just an actual ghost. Their captain saw that the source of pollution was getting closer. Unexpectedly, something exploded behind them. Lunzi defended them from a chainsaw attack of a large man. The attacker stepped back. Their captain recognized that it
was a three-star strange monster which had its attacks and defenses strengthened. Plus, it has extreme regeneration abilities, too. He was about to say its weakness, but one of his teammates jumped ahead and Attacked it. He thinks he's an idiot. Then he yelled at him that it was the head. The guy got distracted. He knew he up. He reiterated that the weak point is the head. At this point, the stick was stuck at the chest of the attacker. Someone took out a gun and shot it on the head. It was the black-haired woman. She expressed her
disappointment that it was killed by a single shot. The guy took out his stick weapon while Pouting. Then he reasoned that he restricted its movements, that's why she could shoot it. The captain made them settle down by emphasizing that they are a team and it was great that everyone worked together. Lindsay ordered them to check the perimeter. He suggested that if there are no other sources of pollution, they should go back to report to the captain. When they met the chief, they all looked ashamed and sad. The chief pointed out that there's a fatal Flaw
in the way they work together. He scolded Dan Hao for acting without waiting for their leader, Li Zongwen's instructions. He asked if he thinks he's smarter than the leader. How felt bad and he replied, "No." Then the chief scolded Zong Wen since he handled scheduling and reconnaissance well, but he just sits and watches when danger comes. He reminded him that he's part of the team first before he's a leader. Zongu apologized and admitted that he Should have provided more assistance. He admits that if he only stays on the sidelines, he'd be sacrificing the lives of
his team. The next one who was called was Pang Lun. He was asked who he should protect with his shield. He replied that it should be his teammates. Then the chief asked him if Roya is his only teammate. Then the chief reminded him that in a fight, no one cares about his personal feelings and that he must protect every single teammate. Next up Was Roya, whom the chief called careless since she doesn't have a sense of danger. While the black-haired woman was scolded for firing without even thinking when her teammate was in close combat with
a monster, he questioned them on where the courage came from. He told them that it isn't a game and one small mistake and they will all die. He lectured them that everyone has to take responsibility for their teammates, so they will all be able to leave alive. Once he was done with scolding, he admits that their second mission could have been worse. He knew that with their current strength, they are capable of handling ordinary four-star monsters. With that, he revealed to them a military secret, and they aren't supposed to leak it. He told them about
it, and they were all surprised to hear about apocalypse level monsters. He shared to them that M City lost over 17,000 evolved individuals in a night. The authorities had to use nuclear weapons, and even then, they barely managed to chase away the monster. According to what he heard, there were no monster corpses found in the rubble, and they just wrote in the report that the monster retreated. It was shocking news that after using nuclear bombs, the monster still wasn't killed. Chief Guan shared that 17 apocalypse doors were affected to varying extents. Along with the changes
in the waves of space and Time, the apocalypse in 10 plus days will be far worse than they expected. He told them that it would be difficult for the team to defeat the strengthened monsters. Roya asked how they could get stronger. She wondered if there was special training. since they don't have the luxury of time. The special tasks bureau had disseminated spiritual crystals. He expected them to know what it meant. How got excited since it can awaken a Person's latent potential and allow their abilities to grow even faster. The team was selected to use the
crystals to get stronger. He told them that everyone had to ascend past four stars in the next 10 days for the future of humanity. Zongwin promised not to let everyone down. Meanwhile, Chu was at the seaside checking his status. His physique is at 9,535, and spirit at 1,298. He has the following abilities: armament Doineering, sensory doineering, and overlord doineering. His talents are flying fists, slice, fighting feet, moonstep, and the passive ones are mighty thunder, and flowing flame. The weapons are heavenly swords, and demon king's armor. His clone, ancient sword lizard, had evolved thrice already, with
the rate of the sword lizards hunting for food in the north seas. fish farms. Chu expected it to evolve for the fourth time in a few days. After that, he'll Only have to worry about Chiian's evolutionary progress. At that moment, Chiian was on the verge of tears. She was dreaming of a scary place. The whole area was illuminated with a red glow and two tornadoes were in front of her. The tornado formed into a misty black dragon with red eyes. It opened its mouth. She yelled at it to stay away. She scared that it might
eat her. She suddenly woke up while screaming. She looked exhausted. She didn't notice that Chu Was there until he asked how she's feeling. She asked him what he meant. Chu threw a cup at her. She tried to catch it, but it broke on her hand. She was surprised by it. Chu asked her how it feels to have evolved. She was confused. Chu explained that one star evolved individual can hit with 500 kg of force and move at 15 m/s. He congratulated her for evolving. Chunky noticed that she's stronger. She couldn't believe that she had really
Evolved. Becoming an evolver has become the dream of countless people around the world. On the black market, a low-grade evolution inducer has become a covered item. Its price has soared to an astonishing over 50 million US. However, using such a lowquality inducer comes with tremendous risk. The slightest mistake can turn the user into a terrifying mutated creature. Many ordinary people eager to evolve are forced to be bound in chains. In extreme Conditions, family members stand by with guns during artificial evolution procedures. Once the body destabilizes, the resulting death is gruesome beyond words. Even so, countless
people willingly take the risk of mutating and stepping onto the path of evolution without hesitation. As doomsday approaches, the era of universal evolution has arrived. At the open sea in Ao Island, Izzanami along with other god-like creatures floated Above the area. She ordered Abbisu to open a path. Ebizu followed her instruction. He flew downwards and dove into the sea. While underwater, a golden orb of light surrounds him. He went so fast that he looked like a shooting star. Everyone else was able to follow him. They entered a cave where corpses are everywhere. They felt an
ominous presence. Benton rushed towards Izanami's side. She noticed that the beast will unleash a king's aura. She Instructed everyone not to look at it in the eyes. Arena expressed that even if it's in juvenile form, its presence rivals a ninestar magical beast, and it's terrifying. She determined that it was a monarch class. Susanu asked her if she's certain. She replied that the beast is stronger than the monarch class that attacked their base last month, and she's certain of it. Iami stated that such magnificent primordial beasts will surely yield a massive amount of essence For their
use. She ordered Benton to use her illusion magic to control it, and the rest were tasked to extract every last drop of its core essence and then destroy the corpse. She told them not to leave any traces. The creature roared loudly. Benton was surprised. It continuously emits sound waves. Izzanami was pleased with the beast's power. She planned to devour it. She planned for darkness to devour all and chaos shall rule. She gives praises to the darkness, The chaos, the endless void. She stated that the intertwining of light and dark, the cycle of life and death,
and everything will be turned to nothingness, and they will become eternal like gods. They continued to praise the darkness, the chaos, and the endless void. The human's pursuit of transcendent power has never stopped. When the flames of destruction tore through the skies, a mushroom cloud bloomed, and a symbol of the end, Shrouded in death. Then the raging shock wave swept the earth like a divine ship. Civilization and order were torn to shreds. The world returned to the primordial chaos of creation. 30 days and nights passed, and only then did the dust settle. Once towering mountains
were flattered into wastelands, rushing rivers were reduced to dead pools. The survivors were left frozen in horror. A remains of the colossal beast was left. It was the size Of a mountain. Its bones glimmered with a strange metallic sheen. Even after destruction, it still held a battle stance as if silently telling the tale of a lost era. In its crystallized marrow, the humans discovered a mysterious substance that shimmerred like stars. When light hit it, the substance pulsed like a living thing, refracting colors beyond the visible spectrum. After 700 days and nights of research, they finally
uncovered its Secret. It could reconstruct the molecular structure of living beings, allowing carbon-based life to break through the shackles of evolution. The researcher called it the Prometheus flame, the forbidden fruit of wisdom. The prime minister raised a culture dish containing the glowing blue materials during a press conference and declared that the substance is called divine origin and with it they would call themselves as gods. But fate soon Revealed its terrifying face. The first batch of volunteers turned into crystallin statues in the holy blue light. Their final expressions were forever frozen in a blend of agony
and ecstasy. Their mortal flesh was like tissue paper trying to contain raging fire. They finally understood that it wasn't that the origin lacked power, but that the human body was made of mere clay and it was unworthy and incompatible with God's divine gift. But Fate has another plan. After the apocalypse descended, monsters began to roam the earth. They were surprised to find survivors who had previously come in contact with the origin substance, and some humans even discovered they could evolve by absorbing the monsters corruption. Only then they realized that the mythology hadn't abandoned them, but
it was accelerating towards them. In that era, they are the inheritors of myth. They continue to evolve, becoming Stronger until one day they can reach the realm of gods. Izanami believes they would become gods. They praised the gods. To their surprise, an unfamiliar voice joined them. She asked who was there. Chu showed up landing on top of our good boy Godzilla. And since these weirdos were praising God, our MC told them, "I am Chen Chu, and you guys should praise me." Izunami immediately instructed Inari to analyze his information. Inari took the fox mask at The
side of her head and wore it so she could activate Koju divine sight. She watched Chu. Chu saw that she uses a sensory ability similar to observation haki, but he knew it was inferior in power. The mask cracked and it emits purple smoke. Inari fell to the ground. Izanami still asked for the intel. Inari could barely get up, but she answered that the enemy had a similar insight-based mystic technique, and her divine sight was reflected back. That Was shocking news to Izzanami. Susenu approaches Izanami and tells her that it didn't matter what kind of sorcery
it was. He was confident that he could crush the enemy with a single punch. He attacked. Chu evaded his punch. Susanu could sense him behind, but he couldn't avoid the kick. Daikokutin used reflect. The guy was falling on the spikes on the ground, but he was caught by Daikokutin's ability. Chu noticed that someone had a gravitational manipulation Ability. Susenu was annoyed. He yelled at Daikokin to stay out of it. Daikokutin lifted him and dropped him on safe ground. Then he told Chu that it was his turn to be pierced. He placed his palms on the
ground and made the earth beneath Chu crumble, eventually leading it to an explosion. But to his surprise, even gravity didn't affect Chu. Chu released electricity. It's time for our MC to aura farm for a bit. Inari's jaw dropped when she saw him Neutralize the force. Daikokutin felt annoyed that he's surpassing divine power. Susanu was offended that he's being insulted. He vowed to make Chu pay with his blood. He used his attack called Nura iron cannon. Chu evaluated that he's a physical type. He blocked the fist with his hand. Chu didn't budge on his place, but
the ground beneath him cave in due to the strong force. Susanu called him a monster. Chu glared at him and just by twisting his arm sideways, It broke Susanu's bone on the arm. Then he threw the guy on the ground. He charges with a powerful fist attack. Susanu knows he's going to die since he can't block the attack. Daikoken intervened. He threw Suzanu away. The area became covered in smoke. Chu wre havoc. He transformed as he used the red flames blood explosion. Izanami called the gods of Takamagara to combine their power and defeat their enemy.
The first one to act was Ebisu and he started Forming hands using the ground and it surrounded Chu. Abbisu grinned. He was confident in his abilities and used godforgettler to attack. Rocks had formed around Chu and it engulfed him. He was trapped inside an orb of rock. Ebasu stated that rocks fortified by divine power are even sturdier than iron. Even if his abilities are extraordinary, he'll suffocate to death in his stone prison once the air runs out. But Inari saw that Chu was melting The rocks with intense heat. Eventually, Chu punctured a hole in it,
and the rest continued to melt. Susanu had to point out that the stone shell isn't as strong as his natto strings. He questioned Ebisu's ability. Ebisu decided to add another layer. Since one isn't enough, he used God forge mass silver pivot this time. But when he saw that two layers weren't enough, he added a third one. He used the God Forge Celestial Golden Palace. He eventually fell to his knees. The triple bind had exhausted his power. Susanu teased him by saying that he should have just used his strongest ability right away. A man who had
red flames uttered that no one can survive Ebisu's golden palace. So he concluded that the battle is already over. Susanu was disappointed with their enemy for getting crushed by Takamagara Pantheon. Izanami wanted to proceed now that the obstacle had been removed. She instructed them to kill the lizard and Seize its origin essence. She saw Anari get spooked, so she asked what she saw in her vision. She stated that the golden trap isn't enough to hold the enemy down. She told them that he can counter metal constructs. So Ebisu's triple seal is ineffective against him. The
electricity runs through the golden trap. Then it started cracking. Chu told them that if they want to hunt the giant lizard, they will have to go through him first. Otherwise, he'll trample on their Corpses. He blasted the trap away. Absisu's jaw dropped because he was certain that he had confined him. Unexpectedly, he got struck with the debris of his golden trap. The debris rained down on others, too. Chu was ready to kill them one by one and grind their corpses into the dirt. The man with red flame was angry that he killed his comrades. He
claimed that anyone who blocks their path will only find death. The guy claimed that his flames are Different from Chu's sorcery, that his divine power can create purgatorial karmic flames that burn ceaselessly for 7 days. He mocked Chu by saying that his flames are better suited for brewing tea. He used his spear of netherworld scorch karmic annihilation. He yelled at him to die. Then he released his spear. Chu watched him. Then he sighed. Before the spear reached him, it turned into smoke. The red flame guy was dumbfounded. His powerful attack was Reduced to smoke just
by Chu blowing some air to it. Susanu was getting angrier. He told them that he'll attack from below while they charged from above. He requested Daikokoten's gravity support. Izzanami was confident that Chu couldn't take on three of them at once. Meanwhile, Benton grits her teeth. Then she asked who else could help them defeat him. Susanu used wrathful rockshaw cannon, but Chu just swung his arm and it buried Susanu's head on the Ground. The red flame guy used his attack called Yomi's myriad scorch annihilation. Fire surrounded Chu. Inari warned them to be careful of the dragon
ceiling mark. It appeared beneath Daikuten. Daikudin was surprised that chains had wrapped around his body. It was effective in restraining him. Inari could tell that it was a sorcery of higher order than Ebisu's seal. Izzanami asked Ben what she plans to do. She replied that it's the psychic unit's Turn to help. Her face changed, her eyes glowed in pink, and she doesn't have a pupil. His mouth became wide and his tongue became longer. She was confident that the enemy won't be able to resist a psychic attack. She unleashed a voice attack called Yomiodama. During this
time, Chu was choking the red flame guy. Chu noticed her, so he dropped the guy. Then Benton binds his soul and tries to make him listen to her. She urged him to fall. The red flame guy could tell that Her attack was effective since Chu wasn't moving anymore. They assumed that he entered a nightmare realm. Chu's consciousness was trapped in darkness. She told him that power in the real world is meaningless there. She placed him in her mental domain where she can crush him easily. Chu's body froze. His physical enhancements are useless, and he couldn't
use sorcery either. It was an arena solely for mental power. Chu coughed blood. She mocks knowing that It's painful. It was because in her domain, the sensation of pain is amplified a h 100fold. And the best part is that he won't pass out in there, but he'll become even more lucid. She told him that every single nerve would transmit excruciating pain. Chu replied that since it was a mental domain, the kind of imaginary damage couldn't be fatal. She answered that it is enough to make him wish that he's dead. She was certain that with her
power, he would be On his knees begging her to end him. She suggested that his only escape at that moment is suicide. Chu grinned. Then he stated that if he doesn't feel any pain, then her kodama is just noise. She yelled that it was impossible. She attacked him again and made him bleed. Then she asked if he's really not feeling any pain. He replied that the amount of pain is nothing compared to when he activates his blood burst wherein his blood was boiling. And he Would give that a million points. He told her that her
imagination was interesting. He told her that her soul would remember one thing, that she was defeated. Her mind shattered and she kept saying over and over again that she's defeated. Izzanami was speechless. Chu ordered her to get up and she did. Ianami couldn't believe that he actually made her his puppet. She realized that her kodama backfired on her. Ben suggested getting out of that ominous Place. Izzanami claims that it's treason since Ben has learned to oppose her. But Chu replied that she could take her back since her aura control will be released in 3 days.
Izzanmi refused to give up just like that. She wants him to pay with his blood. She ordered Benton to die. Tangu slashed her. Chu couldn't believe she had killed her own. Inari asked her why when Benton was one of them. Iami replied that those who are useless have no right to become gods and She's a failure unworthy of a gift of a god. She stated her mantra again that they shall become gods. Then she showed him the power of Takamagahara's dance of demise. Chu transformed again as he used the crimson blood burst. Our boy now
looked like he's becoming one with our very own Godzilla. Instantly, Iami could tell that something wasn't right. His original essence power and the sword lizard behind him were so similar. She Inquired about their relationship. In this transformation, Chu had dragon skin on his chest and arms and two horns on his head. His hair grew longer, too. He rushed towards them. Izzanami was frozen in shock. The wings of the Tangu protected her from Chu's fist. He kept punching and the Tangu withtood it. When the Tangu released its wings and used Yata Nokagami Shishoyokurin, Chu was pushed
back. Yada no Kagami Shisho Yokarin is a Japanese skill name Referencing a sacred mirror symbolizing truth, part of Japan's imperial regalia, and evokes divine light and overwhelming power. Chu landed on the ground. His body was affected by the vapor and cracks had formed in his body. Izzanami told him that the yata no Kagami Shisho Yokaran is capable of piercing a demonic beast's defenses. It was like a strong microwave destroying his body from the inside. Chu kept coughing. He raised his sword and exuded electricity. Then he Scratched it on the surface. He formed a barrier in
front of him while the enemy created several small suns placed in a circular form. Meanwhile, one of them dove on the ground and appeared behind Chu. He used Shadow Eater to do that. Then he pierced Chu from behind, but he was left surprised. Chu had his Imperial demon armor on. Chu yelled at him to scram and attacked him using his fire. The man replied that his efforts are useless since where there is light, There's shadow, and as long as shadows remain, Tukuyomi remains immortal. Tsukuyomi used Kag Oberuki Giri attack. He came out from the shadows.
Then attacked Chu again. Vapor came out from where Chu was hit. Sukuyomi acknowledges his incredible defensive power. Chu was focused on him, but the Tangu charges towards him and attacked him using its wings. It made a crack on his armor. Anami stated that the Tangu's attacks can shatter an enemy's defenses. Even The strongest shield would be destroyed in a single blow. Our boy was speechless. Then he acknowledges their attempts. He threw his sword towards the Tangu. Tangu barely evades it. While Sukuyomi attacks him using a sword, he blocks it using his sword. Tsukuyomi tried to
bind him using shadow stitch. Chu slashed him and made him bleed while calling him trash. Since he knew that he can't be killed as long as shadows exist, he decided to vaporize the Shadows along with him. He let out a super bright attack that left Tukuyomi with burns. He charges towards him again and pierced Tsukuyomi at the center of his chest. Tsukuyomi died. Then Chu challenges the others to step forward if they want to end up like that too. The woman called out to his little brother, Tsukuyomi. As she rushed towards his side, Tangu blocked
her path. Then he shook his head. She could only cry and watch her little brother from a Distance. Izzanami asked everyone why they're just standing around. She told them to attack all at once. Inari trembled from fear. The red flame guy hesitated to attack, too. The older sister of Tsukuyomi was angry. She questioned Ianami if the sacrifice was necessary. She fell on her knees as she stated that she let all her little brothers die just to get the origin essence. Ianami told her that they are all god candidates. She ordered her to Kill the fiend
and they will get enough origin essence to become even stronger. She replied that she didn't want to get stronger. All she wanted was to be a normal nice big sister. Izzanami grabbed her by the neck and called her a coward. She told her that she betrayed their oath and that's a capital offense. She reminded her that they are inheritors of the myth and they constantly evolve, growing stronger until one day they can touch the divine domain. She cursed at Izanomy. So Ianami ordered Tangu to kill her since her heart is wavering which makes her unworthy
of a divine vessel. Tangu looked away. The others wouldn't even meet her gaze too. Chu told them that he had no intention of fighting them to death. If they renounced their hostility, he would let them leave. But Izzanami will never surrender. When she unleashed her powers, her hair turned into white snake and she became a giant. One of her snakes devoured the Sister of Tsukuyomi. She claims that every drop of origin essence will be her nourishment. The snake swallowed the whole body and she felt her power getting stronger. She devoured the others too. The snake
swallowed them whole. Inari realized that she's fusing with the abilities of their yaki kong. It meant that she only saw them that way. Inari confirmed that by saying that they are nothing but vessels for cultivating origin essence and that She's the only one worthy of becoming a god. Chu didn't expect that plot twist. Susenu replied that even though he hates Chu, it was their private matter, so he should leave if he doesn't want to die first. He lifted a boulder and he threw it at Izanami. He claims that the fight is for their survival. When
the boulder hits her barrier, it shattered into pieces. Ianami called him another dog that betrayed its master. Daikoken made the debris around her floats. He told Her that they are orphans, test subjects, and survivors of disasters. When they were young, they received a crystal. Izzanami told them that by becoming gods, they could escape the suffering of mortals. When the crystals entered their body, a lot of the children fell. She named the ones who were still standing as Yaki Kong. Daikokuten expressed that they gathered there for one reason, to live on. The heads of the snakes
glowed in different Colors. Then she exudes bright light. While Daikokutin struggles to see her, her shadow went behind him and told him that she already obtained the powers of light and dark, so he wasn't qualified to defy her. This really had no intention to stop. She used one of her newly absorbed abilities and binded Daikutin using her shadow powers, but Daikutin refused to submit to her, but he was engulfed by the shadow. Izzanami smirked. The black snake hissed While Iami laughed out loud as she crushed Daikutin into pieces. Now she had also absorbed his gravity
manipulation and with that Ianami made the others float in the air. First was Susanu then the red flame guy and Inari and then she gathered and pulled them to her to surrender their powers. But then Chu grabbed Inar's leg so she won't be sucked in. She asked why. The red flame guy was determined to fight to death. Susanu resisted too, but Izzanami just Smirked. Then her snakes chased them. Susanu's lower body was eaten in a blink of an eye. The red flame guy yelled that he'd take her down with him. The snake breathed fire. Its
body expanded. Then it exploded. The red flame guy had chosen to self-destruct rather than let her devour him. But then the snake took the red crystal that he left behind. Izzanami told him that he's too naive because his body is merely a vessel for the origin essence. And even if he kills Himself, the origin essence within him won't dissipate. The snake swallowed the crystal. Then it became a flaming snake. Izzanami's snake had different colors and appearance based on the origin essence that they had devoured. She already devoured seven. Now her attention was to Inari. She
felt cornered because even if she killed herself, it's useless. Tangu was ready to fight back, too. Only two of them are left. Tangu made hand gestures and Disappeared. She realized that he ran away. She acknowledged that it was a clever, cowardly, and realistic choice. Meanwhile, Inari begs Chu to destroy the origin crystal inside her. She begged him to kill her and destroy it since she doesn't want to become a part of Izanami's power. She knew that he's the only one who could do it. Chu was silent. Learning that Inari wanted to use the power of
Fiend to destroy the origin essence. Izanami called her a Traitor. She told Chu to do it quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Izanami was amused that she wants to die. She told her that she will devour the origin essences of the fiend and the lizard too for her to ascend to godhood. Chu took Inari's blade and told her that she doesn't have to die. Izanami told them that they will become sacrifices to the new god. Chu coursed electricity through the dagger and he threw it at her. Chu previously planned not to get involved In
their mess, but she dragged him and his lizard into it, so he changed his mind. Izanami got hit on the forehead, but she just casually pulled out the dagger. She told him that it wasn't enough to kill her. Chu charges in and punched the out of her while telling her to die. Ena crouched to shield herself from the flying debris. She was crying. Then Chu askedami how his attack felt. When the smoke cleared, she stood completely unscathed. She Replied that it didn't even count as a tickle, sounding almost bored. Chu was amused. Our boy then
transformed again, activating Crimson Bloodbururst level four. Thunder tempered his body and fire forged his bones. Izzanami watched closely as lightning formed behind him. He lunged at her, creating a massive blast. She barely managed to dodge. Chu hadn't expected that and told her that if she had any other tricks, she was Free to use them. She pressed her palms together and unleashed shadowy snakes. The technique was called kagakui, yaki aoku. With a simple snap of his fingers, lightning erased the snakes. She froze in terror after realizing that Yaki A Goku was completely useless against him. Chu
walked toward her. Lightning crackled around his body. She felt it clearly. The pressure this fiend carried was more terrifying than that of a god. She commanded copper to rust his body, Silver to seal his soul, and gold to corrupt his station. A green snake burst from the ground behind him. Chu clicked his tongue. Without even turning around, he struck it down with lightning. Next, a blue snake emerged. Chu focused power into his arm. It swelled in size as he grabbed the snake with crushing force. The ground beneath his feet shattered. Another snake appeared, its jaws
stretched wide to swallow him whole. Chu Saw himself falling straight into its mouth. Yet, he remained calm. The snake caught him and snapped its jaws shut. She declared him extinguished. The snake's body began to turn into metal. Chu was still alive inside its mouth and he found the situation ridiculous. He sliced through the snake from within. She stood frozen as the upper half of the snake collapsed to the ground. Then Chu appeared behind her, remarking that even after devouring her Teammates, this was all the power she had. He slit her throat. She protested, claiming she
was a god and shouldn't be able to die. Blood streamed down her neck. She couldn't understand it. She was supposed to be a god above all others, destined to ascend to the hall of the gods. She was meant to look down on all living beings. Chu told her that her sins ended there. She didn't want to die, but her body collapsed into the pool of blood beneath her. Meanwhile, Arena hid behind a boulder, shaking and sobbing. Chu walked over to her and told her it was time to leave. Chu carried Arena as they surfaced from
the water. They leapt onto a nearby boat, startling two men aboard. The fisherman shouted in surprise. wondering where the two of them had come from from their language, Chu realized they were foreigners. He tried to gesture for them to take Arena to the shore. He gave a clear hand sign, hoping it would be enough, but the two Men only stared back, confused. From their blank expressions, Chu wasn't even sure they understood his intent. Humans were a species that excelled at infighting and selfishness. Throughout history, the number of people killed by their own kind was tens
of thousands of times greater than those lost to disasters or monsters. Once given power, most did not think of protecting the weak or upholding justice. Instead, they raised their Blades against those even weaker than themselves. Chu knew there would always be good people who stepped forward. Even so, such was the wicked nature of humanity. Lightning surged beneath his feet as he took off into the sky. The two fishermen could only stare in disbelief. Chu never hesitated to assume the worst of anyone who might threaten his survival. He did not consider himself good, yet he did
not guide weeping souls. He was not evil, nor did He feast on hatred. He was not chaos, and he did not stir the dust of mortals. He was not order, and he did not bind the roots of the world. He continued flying over seas and cities, reflecting further. He was not light, nor did he illuminate the city of the lost. He was not darkness, yet he did not shield the prying lamp. He was not substance and he did not forge eternal form. He was not void and he did not leave behind a fading shadow. He
was the blade Suspended between good and evil and he alone would cut through the dusk and dawn of chaos. At the Special Affairs Bureau, Guande played a video for five people and informed them that based on the latest data, Chu's power had officially broken through the five-star level. The news stunned everyone in the room. He showed them footage of a high-grade concrete pillar 100 cm in diameter shattering from a single punch. Preliminary calculations estimated the Impact force at over 1500 tons. Lun felt like he'd been punched in the gut. He asked whether Chu was even
human anymore. Lunzi couldn't imagine it either. His own maximum punch force was only 1.5 tons, while Chws was a thousand times greater. Zongwin added that according to the global evolver rating standards, the baseline punch force for a five-star evolver was only 100 tons. 1500 tons should already place Chu at six-star, maybe even seven star or Beyond. D explained that once an evolver breaks past the five-star threshold, raw power measurements stop being the standard. They are replaced by something else entirely, transcendent power. Lun asked what transcendent power actually was. He even wondered if he might have
it, too. D explained that every nation had its own evolutionary system, but the ultimate goal was always the same. Awakening transcendent power. Abilities Like controlling gravity, unleashing hellfire from within the body, or manipulating minds fell into that category. People would do anything to evolve beyond five star as fast as possible. As far as he knew, the neighboring R country had even attempted to use technology to artificially accelerate an evolver's evolution. He told the group of noobs to stop daydreaming since none of them had even reached fourstar yet. They straightened up, saluted, and answered in unison.
Yes. At home, Chu lay on the couch staring at a crystal in his hand. They called it origin essence, but in truth, it was nothing more than a higher grade psionic energy crystal. Izanami would have never imagined that it would end up benefiting him instead. Chu crushed the crystal in his palm to boost his constitution. The display showed the maximum value, 9,999. He had already reached the cap, which could only mean one thing. The fourth evolution was about to begin. Zi appeared beside him and asked if he was okay. He said he was fine. She
then admitted that she was hungry. Chu offered her some energy crystals. Her eyes lit up as she happily agreed. He fed the crystals to her. Once they managed to restore the gate, they would go hunt monsters together. Zixie nodded in agreement. In another setting, the Laboratory issued an emergency warning. After detecting abnormal global pollution, all nearby bases were ordered to immediately activate level one defense protocols. Pollution energy exceeded the critical threshold by 20 times. Energy fluctuations continued to rise, putting all personnel on high alert. All evolvers below four stars were strictly forbidden from leaving the
purification field. Exposure to the pollution zone would cause irreversible Mutation. The soldiers marched. They wore full bodysuits and sealed masks. Combat personnel moved to their assigned positions. The first wave of the pollution tide was expected to reach the defensive line in 72 hours at the hillside villa. Chu woke up, his eyes glowing faintly. He sat up at once. A deep sense of unease washed over him. He could feel a massive disaster approaching. A woman on a motorcycle was Parked outside his home. It caught his attention and made him look out of the window. The person
on the motorcycle was Zeon. She stood right in front of him and scolded him for waking her up so early in the morning. He couldn't even remember her full name, so she reminded him. She handed him a bag of takeout, but he hadn't ordered food in the past 2 days, so he asked where it came from. She explained that he hadn't ordered takeout for 2 days straight, and she was Worried he'd starve to death in his room. She brought brazed chicken, something he ordered three times a week, and malaton on the side, extra numbing and
spicy, just how he liked it late at night. Feeling uncomfortable, he asked if she was some kind of stalker. She reminded him that she planned to win him over, so she intended to keep an eye on his every move. He accepted it. She urged him to eat quickly while the food was still Hot. Then she winked at him and said goodbye. He watched her speed off. Still, he thought that whether or not he ate was none of her business. Then his stomach growled. He realized it had all been carefully planned by that woman. Zi walked
over to him, so he asked what she wanted. She told him she had sensed a new door. He told her they would head out after breakfast. They arrived at an abandoned, unfinished building. The gate was already there. It was opening, so She warned him to be careful. He put on his armor. The Imperial demon armor greatly increased resistance to pollution energy. It was time to begin. The pressure hit him instantly. He realized just how insane the pollution level was. Even with the armor's resistance, it couldn't block everything. He couldn't see anything inside. He activated his
observation aura, flare. That was when he saw a massive boulder falling straight toward Him. He sliced it cleanly in half. The fight began the moment he stepped inside. A monster's silhouette appeared with four arms. Looking closer, he recognized it. A four-ear armed demon ape. Then it vanished in a flash. It lunged at him. The system issued a warning. The pollution level was rising. He wondered what would happen if he pushed his power to its absolute limit. He was curious whether he could take it down in a single strike. He blocked its Punch with his sword.
Then he poured in more power. The forearmmed demon ape sensed the change. Like a volcano erupting behind him. A violent force exploded outward. The blast hurled the monster into the air. He chased after it midair. Determined to finish it quickly. He drove his fist into its torso, then followed up by slashing it cleanly in half. Its body parts crashed onto the ground. He estimated the impact of that punch to be close to 500 tons. No matter How tough something was, nothing could survive that kind of explosive force. He picked up the core. The energy inside
was extremely dense. It felt similar to Izzami's origin essence crystal, only much smaller. He crushed it in his hand and gained 1,000 evolution value. It was a pure energy crystal, one he could absorb directly. Still, he needed 10,000 evolution values to evolve. He hadn't expected to stumble upon such an efficient path so quickly. Suddenly, a Rustling sound echoed through the forest. He went to investigate and arrived at the edge of a cliff. The view was breathtaking. A massive tree towered nearby with floating islands drifting around it. This was an undeveloped rainforest. That made him wonder
how many evolution crystals were waiting to be hunted. He could hardly contain his excitement. As he moved forward, he expanded his observation aura to its maximum. His Senses spread across the area. A notification appeared. It was a demon ant, a tier three nature type demonic beast. The demon crystal energy inside these ants was far murkier than the demon apes. It made him suspect they fed on raw demon crystals. Suddenly, several large insects flew overhead. They were demon ants as well, but tier four nature type demonic beasts. He quickly realized they had locked onto prey, and
it wasn't him. The flying insects attacked the Ants feeding on the crystals. He hid and observed. After draining one ant, the flying insect released a cloud of purple mist and began evolving on the spot. That tier four demon mosquito could evolve into a tier five elite by preying on others of its kind. Then beside him, something moved. A monster leapt onto a tree and targeted the demon mosquito. Moments later, it crashed to the ground. It devoured the mosquito. This creature was a tier 6 nature demon ape. In that Moment, he understood. Every hunt and every
evolution was a process of refining crude energy layer by layer. After feeding, the monster moved on. When high tier demonic beasts reached the end of their lives, they all returned to the base of the tree of life, falling within the sanctuary of its coiling roots. He watched as their husks slowly decomposed. The demon crystal essence they had refined over their lifetimes seeped back into the Massive root system, becoming nutrients that sustained the treere's eternal existence. The tree of life remained silent, gently brushing the remains of its loyal miners with thin rootletits. He faced the ape
demon. New demon ant eggs were already incubating inside the antill. Soon, another generation of demon crystal miners would hatch to continue the endless cycle. They were born as slaves and died as food. A system without mercy, repeating forever. However, that perfect energy cycle ended that day. The essence they had spent their lives refining. He would take it all. The sky glowed red as evening settled in. Birds suddenly scattered from the trees, wings flapping as the forest below began to stir. Something moved rapidly beneath the canopy. He cut down the monsters in his path. After that,
he steadied himself. Several monster corpses littered the background. The ape's upper body slammed into the Ground, then slowly dissolved, revealing a core. Continuous notifications appeared, listing the monsters he had defeated. He gathered every crystal core. They floated around him as he fused them together. The fusion rule stated that eight low tier crimson demon crystals equaled one mid-tier crimson demon crystal. Eight mid-tier crimson crystals could be fused into one high tier crimson demon crystal. A warning followed. evolution power had condensed Into a crystal. A high tier crimson demon crystal not only provided a massive amount of
evolution value, but also carried a 1% chance to trigger a random domain super evolution. A successful trigger would unlock power far beyond normal evolution. Chu didn't even know something like this existed, but a 1% chance was painfully low. If the super evolution failed to trigger, this precious crystal would be completely wasted. He turned around, Wondering if crystals beyond crimson even existed. More monsters emerged, and that sight made him smile. He cut through them swiftly, leaving none alive. More defeat notifications flooded in. A new alert appeared. Collect eight high tier crimson demon crystals to fuse them
into a mid-tier deep blue demon crystal. He had just learned that crimson demon crystals evolved into deep blue demon crystals. He fused the crystals. A notification followed. He Had obtained a mid-tier deep blue demon crystal. The super evolution chance increased to 10%. It wasn't enough. He wanted 100%. So, he continued hunting near the tree of life. Eventually, he reached the point where he was breathing heavily. Then, a thought crossed his mind. What would happen if he fused the essence of every demonic beast in the entire forest? He decided to find out. He planted his feet
and thrust his hand Forward, drawing blue energy into his palm. The air twisted around him as the power compressed as if something enormous was about to be unleashed. A system notification appeared. The synthesis of a high tier deep blue demon crystal was successful. A high tier deep blue demon crystal guaranteed a super evolution with a 100% success rate. He had slaughtered every demonic beast in the forest of death and at last he had forged it. As long as he used this Crystal, a random super evolution was guaranteed. Unexpectedly, a manticor appeared. It dove straight at
him. He felt a crushing conqueror's aura, stronger than anything he had encountered before. When it landed, the grass beneath it withered instantly. He realized its aura domain could directly warp the environment. He knew no ordinary demonic beast could possess such power. He had wiped out the entire forest to forge that crystal. There was No way he would let something else take it. The system issued a warning. This was a tier 9 demonic beast, a chimera monarch. Chu suddenly had an idea. A sinister grin spread across his face as he considered letting it eat the demon
crystal. The rule of the forest of death was simple. Devour to evolve. If so, he would let this creature perform the final refinement for him. He remained still. The chimera growled at him. He decided to push the odds beyond 100%. The Chimera's ultimate monarch evolution completed, elevating it to a tier 10 demonic beast. He let it feed for now because when he harvested it later, he would reap the reward a h 100fold. The serpent head of the chimera inhaled deeply and unleashed a stream of green toxic liquid. He was caught off guard, but he managed
to slice it just in time. Still, the liquid scattered in all directions. It was a highly potent acid ray that was expected from its radically Evolved serpentine tail. If even a single drop touched him, the contamination level would mean instant death. This demonic beast's massive body lacked human agility, but it more than made up for it with raw strength. It was almost like a living sword lizard. Its colossal size gave it growth potential that far exceeded human limits. On top of that, sitting at the peak of the food chain, it had likely been hunting in
the forest of death for decades. The demon Crystal energy accumulated inside its body had to be immeasurable. Since such growth took decades, he guessed this monarch level demonic beast was over a century old. He charged forward, testing which was tougher, its scales or his blade. When he slashed, his sword was blocked by its wings. He clicked his tongue. The lion's head roared. A crushing pressure washed over him. The wing he had struck earlier began to heal. He watched as it regenerated in The blink of an eye. Suddenly, the beast looked toward the sky. A magic
circle formed above them. Chu noticed it too and froze when he recognized lightning magic. Bolts of lightning slammed into the ground. He leapt and rolled, narrowly evading each strike. The beast was caught off guard when he counterattacked immediately after the lightning fell. He fused crimson flame and thunder guard into his sword. He struck at the beast's head. Shock surged Through him. The monster recoiled in pain, but Chu was sent flying backward. His hand trembled violently. The impact numbed his entire arm. He realized its flesh was harder than steel. But he also noticed something else. He
had cut it. Seeing blood spill, he grinned. He told the beast that its time was up. The monster roared in fury. It didn't give him a chance to dodge. He had to face it head on. He charged forward, weaving through falling lightning. The system Issued an alert. Imperial demon armor durability zero. Chu wasn't surprised. A chimera with intelligence would abandon lightning magic in close quarters combat. In a melee, wide area spells risked harming the caster as well. The lightning slowly faded. He rushed in. The beast shielded itself with its wings, just as he expected. While
the lion head was hidden behind its wings, the serpent tail turned to face him. But Chu's attack Wasn't aimed at the front. He severed the serpent's head in a single strike. Then he grabbed it. He knew the beast could defend its front, but not its back. Guarding both at once was impossible. The chimera howled in agony. Chu asked if it was surprised he got its tail. With that, its strongest weapon, the acid ray, was gone. He gripped the serpent's head tightly. It fired an acid ray. The beast let out a pained groan and raised its
wings to shield itself. The acid ray melted straight through the wing, burning a hole clean through it. Moments later, the wing collapsed. Now it was time to end the fight. He leapt forward and drove his blade straight into its head. The system announced that the 10th tier Chimera Ultimate King had been slain. The reward was an ultimate dark gold magic crystal. He collected the crystal core. He crushed it in his hand and a violent gust of wind exploded outward from his body. His heart turned Yellow. His entire body transformed. It was an armament hockey super
evolution. Hobby had broken through to the highest level. He felt space itself responding to his will. With a thought, his body shifted instantly in the direction he pointed. He pointed at a boulder and commanded it to rise. It obeyed. Then he ordered it to collapse, shattering it into countless fragments. He could feel it. The density was terrifyingly high. That meant the power Behind it was just as frightening. The attack slammed down with overwhelming force. The ground split apart as a violent blast of wind and power tore through the area. Debris and leaves erupted everywhere as
if the land itself had been struck. The impact didn't stop there. A massive shock wave followed, flames and smoke bursting upward as the earth was ripped apart. After getting what he wanted, the world already felt boring to him. He decided to leave. He Swung his sword and opened a rift. A few hours later, he arrived home. Sleep overtook him immediately, and he collapsed onto the bed. Xishi climbed up beside him and asked if something was wrong with his body. He told her that his body had already entered the evolution stage. He would likely need to
sleep for 2 days. He warned her not to run around during that time and explained what she should do when she got hungry or she could wait For Xeon to bring food. She delivered meals on time every day. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. The evolution began. It felt as if his body was being transported somewhere else. While he slept deeply, Chenkin tried to call him. The operator informed her that the number she dialed was unavailable. She felt a wave of sadness. She wanted to share the joy of becoming an evolver with him, yet
he wouldn't answer her call. Meanwhile, at Ningda's first Canteen, Lindsay casually brought up the rumor that Chunkian was Chu's girlfriend. Zongwin covered Lindsays mouth and warned him to stop talking nonsense. Lindsay's eyes widened. He glanced at Lun, who sighed and handed him a chicken to shut him up. Roya calmly stated that Chu didn't have a girlfriend. She questioned how an ordinary woman could ever be worthy of him. In her eyes, Chu would definitely prefer someone far more capable. There Was an awkward silence in the room. Lynn couldn't stop thinking about the dress she was wearing.
It cost 80,000 and the bag she carried, which Chu bought for over a h 100,000. He told how that ever since Chu brought her back that day, she had been openly calling herself his girlfriend. Roya looked pissed. She stood up, said she was already full, and left. How immediately grabbed Lon by the collar and scolded him for bringing that up, scaring him half to death. Lun Defended himself, saying it was common knowledge at Ning University and not some big secret. How snapped back that even if everyone knew, Lun didn't need to stir things up right
in front of Roya. With the sparring match later, her anger might come crashing down on him. Lun felt terrified. Their black-haired friend, Wuay, arrived and said that a highly talented evolver had come to register. She asked if they had seen her. How and Lon were confused since They hadn't heard about any amazing new recruit. Zongwin asked if it was her. They saw the new evolver approaching and it looked like things might turn hostile. A teacher introduced Chian to her senior Ruoya who was affiliated with the Special Affairs Bureau. She explained that Chian was her junior
and that she suddenly burst into flames during class and awakened as an evolver. Ruya congratulated her. Tian Kanan replied that she was just lucky. Compared to Rua, who was directly chosen by the government, it wasn't worth mentioning. How felt nervous from the sharp tension between them. Day arrived and told Jian that evolvers could register, but she would need to take a test to determine her rank. If she was free, she could do it now. Changan agreed. Roya offered to take her to the test. D approved since Roya knew the testing process well and entrusted her
with guiding Chenkan. How muttered that Roya finally had an outlet for her anger and that Chen was about to be in trouble. At the evolver testing room, Roya explained that the strength test was simple. Chen just needed to use her full power and strike the force zone of the machine. She pointed out the target and said the system would calculate her strength. Chenkan focused and gathered her power. She threw a full force punch into the machine. The display showed a rating of 4,700 Kg. Roya realized immediately that was far from ordinary. That score hit the
upper limit of a three-star evolver. How and Lun watched from the doorway completely stunned. Lon said that when he first awakened, his punch barely broke a thousand. Chunkan's very first strike was nearly 5,000, basically knocking on the door of fourstar. Next came the speed test. She reached 68 m/s, which was also the threestar limit. Smoke Filled the room, blocking How and Lon's view. Roya concluded that Shenin's attribute was fire. Her abilities included scorching heat, explosive condensation, and a moldable explosive fireball with a maximum throwing range of 20 m. Its destructive power matched that of a
high yield grenade. Overall evaluation peak three-star evolver. How was amazed. Chunky had just awakened and already hit the three-star ceiling. Her talent was absurd. Lun called her Another genius. Chime pointed out that how and Lun only broke into three star that day because they relied on Guan's spirit crystal, then warned them not to talk big when they had just barely reached the same level. Lun felt that something wasn't right. The higher-ups had said their talent was the best in the city. First, it was Chu and now Chongqan showed up. None of it made sense to
him. Zongwin told them to forget about it. Talent only decides Where someone starts, not how far they go. In the end, effort matters more. Besides, he believed their evolution was natural. Some people took shortcuts, but who was truly strong and who is weak had yet to be seen. Guande spoke with Tian, a three-star evolver already close to breaking into four-star, and asked about her plans for the future. Tian said she hadn't thought about it yet. He told her that her talent was actually weaker than Roya's, but even so, he believed it Wouldn't take long for
her to break through to FiveStar. He said she was a rare prospect. Then he handed her a confidentiality agreement and asked if she had considered joining the Special Affairs Bureau. D told Shankien to consider joining the Special Affairs Bureau and serving the nation. More importantly, with official resources backing her, her path would be much smoother and her strength would grow with half the effort. He asked what she Thought. She thanked him for believing in her, but said she wanted to discuss it with Chu first. He asked why she needed to do that. She blushed and
answered that it was because she was Chu's girlfriend. He found it interesting that she was that man's girlfriend. Then she added that Chu probably wouldn't want her to join the bureau. He said that was fine. The documentation department had already prepared her evolver credentials. Once She collected them, they would be free to leave. She thanked him and accepted her card, but he stopped her before she left. He asked her to relay a message to Chu that the Hang Chong Chamber of Commerce incident had been resolved. All three corporations involved had been completely destroyed. They were
grateful for the intelligence Chu had provided. She assured him that she would pass the message along. He let out a sigh, realizing that Chiangan might not join the bureau after all. At Chu's mansion, Xi floated above his sleeping body, quietly watching his face. She felt something was strange. His body temperature was rising. She placed her hand against his forehead and felt intense heat. Meanwhile, Chu felt as if he were floating. She realized that he was dreaming. The third day of his slumber arrived. There were only 6 days left until the doomsday impact. A news anchor
announced that to better Ensure public safety, the government would organize an orderly evacuation over the next 6 days. The streets were crowded as authorities guided citizens toward nearby cities. Once the impact ended, everyone would be allowed to return safely. An official announced that to better coordinate forces during the doomsday impact, all essential supplies, especially food, would be placed under centralized management. Many people grew angry. They knew it Wasn't easy to enter the cities, worried they would have nowhere to live and no food. On top of that, no one would be left behind to tend their
farmland. The official explained that choosing which city to evacuate to was voluntary and no one would be forced. If people chose to seek shelter in the cities, arrangements would be made. At the very least, they would receive tents, clean water, and food supplies. If people chose to stay behind and monsters invaded, rescue Teams would do everything possible to save them. The authorities promised not to abandon anyone lightly. Naine felt irritated hearing this. She knew it was partly a lie. The government's strength was already stretched thin, and centralizing the population was their only real option. Secretary
Su Ling Yu appeared and told her that with the boss around, there was nothing to worry about. Everything had already been prepared. The boss had built a doomsday Base together with the top tycoons of N City and they could all take shelter there. She then showed Nyine something that had been delivered that morning. The boss wanted every employee to take one. Nixine asked what it was for. It looked like a crystal. Suddenly, it shattered in Lung Yus hand. Red mist engulfed her, making Nixine panic. She quickly realized it was the power of an evolver. Nexi
noticed a knife stuck into an apple on a nearby table. With Just a gesture, Ling Yu pulled the knife toward herself. It spun through the air before landing in her hand. Nexin asked how she had done it. Lingu realized it must be the crystal. She threw the knife at the wall. It pierced straight through, cracks spreading across the surface. The gift from the boss could instantly turn someone into an evolver. With that power, they would be able to protect themselves during the doomsday impact. Two men stared at their phones As breaking news exploded across Meow
Yin. On the screen, a man holding a sword stood ready, about to reveal something shocking. More and more people tuned in. The swordsman announced that the so-called hero everyone knew online, Chen Chu, would soon be exposed for a ridiculous lie. He declared that Chu was no hero at all, claiming everything was nothing but special effects and cheap tricks. The comment section instantly blew up. A user called Sword Saint Supporters demanded that fake heroes using effects to steal views be banned from the internet. Another user, Light of Nuclear Power, mocked the idea that heroes now needed
visual effects. Wuang King suggested exposing him live, begging the Sword Saint to start a stream and unmask Chu in front of everyone. Others openly called for a fight. D watched the live stream in silence. He tried calling Chu, but the phone was switched off. D cursed under His breath. Rage burned in his chest. It was clear that Alexander from Country Y was openly taunting them. At Chu's company, D was told that the boss hadn't been in the office for the past few days. Nine explained that she was in seclusion preparing for the doomsday impact. The
moment she mentioned seclusion and meditation, it made DeFurious. He couldn't believe she was meditating at a time like this. Nison said that was just how their boss was. He always did things his own way and never informed anyone beforehand. They couldn't reach him either. D told her to pass a message to Chu. Alexander from Country Y was live streaming a public debunking. That man had been taking down bragging evolvers one after another and had already reported dozens of them. If this continued, they would lose face in the international press and look weak. Day was restless.
In a doomsday crisis, losing public trust would be Catastrophic. A long-haired man suddenly appeared and calmly told him that if he wanted to fight, he could set a time. De's jaw dropped. He asked if that was really Chu. He barely recognized him. Chu said that with only a few days left before the doomsday impact, he thought it was time to refresh his public image. 10 minutes earlier at Chu's villa, Zeon rang the doorbell and Sikshi opened the gate. She asked if Chu was still in seclusion. Si replied that it wasn't Finished yet, but it would
be soon. After that, she said goodbye. Zeon wondered if an evolver in seclusion was similar to cultivators retreating to refine themselves in novels. To her, it didn't matter. As long as the people she cared about became stronger, she didn't mind how they trained. Unexpectedly, another person arrived. It was Tanri. Zean asked if he was also there to see Chu. She told him that Chu was still in seclusion and advised him not to disturb Him. Suddenly, something exploded on the roof and a figure shot straight into the sky. Both of them were stunned. Tanri asked what
was happening. A child pointed upward and shouted that there was a god. His mother was already filming. A naked man with long black hair floated in the sky wrapped in a pillar of blue light. Tienui saw it clearly. He was shocked and said that Chu had ascended. Zeon corrected him. She said Chu had evolved. The figure Continued rising higher and higher into the sky. Chu reached outer space. He felt an overwhelming sense of rebirth and thought the feeling was incredible. The system announced that the sword lizard had evolved into an ancient grade jet black extermination
dragon. He obtained an imperial gene, allowing him to extract gene fragments from slain monsters and learn their abilities. Chu sensed the massive black dragon behind him. Now all that was left was to test His newly transformed body. Back to the present time at Chu's office. D warned him that sword St. Alexander was a major figure within the International Evolvers Alliance. He was worried that if Chu lost the duel, the Special Affairs Bureau's reputation would suffer on the global stage. Chu told him not to worry. That response eased D's mind. He said he would issue an
official challenge to Country Y in the name of the Special Affairs Bureau. Still, he reminded Chu That with the doomsday crisis approaching, international relations were as fragile as paper. He warned Chu to win the fight fair and square. This was no longer a private matter. It was an international affair. Chu replied calmly that this was much harder than simply beating someone up. Then he looked at Duh and asked, "Did you want me to throw the match?" At CountryWise Evolutionary Arena, the crowd roared, chanting that the sword saint was Invincible. They mocked Chu as a fraud
and claimed he would kneel within 3 seconds. Alexander stood confidently at the center. He pointed his sword at the cameraman and addressed the so-called special hero of Country Z, declaring that he would expose Chu's true colors to the entire world. The comment section exploded, filled with people urging the sword saint to unmask the clown. He waited, but his opponent still hadn't appeared. Alexander sneered and mocked Chu for being too scared to show up. He called the so-called strongest evolver of Country Z a weakling. A few hours earlier, Chu was informed that the duel had been
scheduled in Country Y for tomorrow morning. He had only 6 hours left. The capital of Country Y was over 10,000 km away. Since speed was one of the core measures of an evolver's strength, D immediately realized what the sword saint was doing. This was an extreme test meant to question Chu's Endurance and power. As expected, the man was cunning. If Chu failed to arrive on time, it would count as him being exposed. D told Chu that the Special Affairs Bureau would arrange a jet. It was a supersonic transport capable of Mach 2, and with aerial
refueling, Chu could arrive within 5 hours. He urged him to trust the bureau's ability to mobilize resources. Chu replied that there was no need. 5 hours was still too slow. Dai, as if sensing what Chu was About to do, shouted at him to stop. They were inside the special affairs branch, and he warned him not to cause trouble. But before he could finish, Chu had already smashed through the window and flown into the sky. Glass shards and documents scattered throughout the office. D could only click his tongue, muttering that the stronger the power, the harder
it was to control. Chu flew at extreme speed. Along the way, he sensed something unusual. He Suddenly stopped above citym, feeling a violent energy fluctuation below. He hovered over the city center bank tower. Police cars surrounded the building and gunshots echoed through the streets. Chu paused to observe the situation. Foreigners were robbing the bank. He decided it would be a waste of time and initially planned not to interfere. Inside, one of the robbers looked out the window. With all the evolvers busy guarding the doomsday gate, no one would Care if they stole some money. They
exchanged gunfire with the police and escaped with bags stuffed full of cash. The police quickly realized their pistols were useless against evolvers. They urgently requested heavy caliber weapons from command. The robbers grew complacent as they ran out into the open. One robber suddenly crashed into his companion when the man ahead stopped dead in his tracks. He stared up in horror. Something was flying in the sky. He thought the evolver from earlier had returned. When the figure landed, a shock wave erupted. It was Chew. He hadn't planned to interfere, but he decided to treat this as
a warm-up. The robbers panicked. One of them screamed for everyone to fire. They unloaded their weapons all at once. The bullets bounced harmlessly off Chu's body. He looked at them and asked if that was all they had, calling it pathetic. Chu smiled faintly. In the next instant, the Men screamed in agony. Our boy just used Conqueror's hockey. They collapsed to the ground, some vomiting uncontrollably. One robber stepped out of a car, furious that Chu had crippled his men with nothing more than a glance. He admitted that Chu had some skill, but Chu had chosen the
wrong opponent. This man was an evolver, too. He could manipulate metal, shaping it into deadly spears. Several metallic spikes floated into the air around him. With a sharp Gesture, he launched them straight at Chu, but to his surprise, Chu was already behind him. Chu calmly told him to use his powers for something proper in his next life. Then he kicked him. The robber was slammed straight into the ground, buried deep into the concrete. A cameraman and a reporter witnessed everything from nearby. The robbers were all left unconscious. The media quickly reported that a mysterious ovare
had resolved the Hostage crisis in an instant. In the comment section, people recognized Chu and they couldn't believe how fast he had flown. There were only 30 seconds left on the Evolutionary Arena timer. Alexander sneered and announced that the live stream would end in disappointment. He mocked the audience, claiming the so-called great evolutionary Chu was nothing but a coward who didn't even dare to show up and fight. Then, lightning split the sky. Chu dropped From above, and the moment he landed, the shock wave blasted Alexander straight back. Alexander staggered and shouted, asking what the hell
that was. He complained that this guy didn't even know how to use the front door. Chu appeared holding a bag of fast food. He casually apologized for taking the long route, saying he didn't travel much, so he figured he should try the local flavors while he was out. Alexander narrowed his eyes and asked if he was Really Chu. Chu kept chewing his fries as he answered yes. Alexander was stunned. Showing up to a duel in pajamas made him look nothing like a top tier fighter. Chu tilted his head and asked what the problem was. D
tried to call him, realizing too late that he forgot to mention the duel was being live streamed. Chu's embarrassing appearance was now being broadcast to an international audience. D was furious. He already knew he'd have to lecture that brat about his image later. Chu's phone buzzed. He told Alexander to wait a moment because he needed to take the call. Alexander was deeply offended. Answering a phone call in front of him on a live stream made him feel completely ignored. Chu picked up and everyone heard him calmly say that he would show mercy. That only made
Alexander angrier. After the call ended, Chu slipped his phone back into his Pocket and apologized for the weight. Alexander sneered and warned him that no matter how sharp he looked now, he'd soon be eating dirt. He vowed to tear off Chu's fake mask once and for all. The crowd erupted in cheers. Alexander lunged forward and shouted for Chu to taste his blade. Chu raised a hand and told him to wait. Alexander froze and snapped, asking what he thought he was doing. Chu, still with a fry in his mouth, asked if Alexander's sword used Lightning. Alexander
scoffed and asked if Chu was scared. Chu calmly advised him not to use lightning, warning that it would backfire. Alexander was insulted. He snapped that bluffing had limits and claimed everyone knew elemental backlash required at least 100 times stronger energy in the same element than the wielder. Chu replied that he didn't care about theories. His observation hockey told him one thing. If Alexander brought that Sword down, Chu would be fine. But Alexander would die. Alexander's face went pale. Then he burst out laughing, saying Chu sounded completely ridiculous. He charged forward and screamed for Chu to
die. Chu activated Thunder Smite. The attack slammed into the arena floor, erupting outward in a violent explosion of energy. When the smoke cleared, Alexander lay motionless on the ground, his eyes rolled back. The floor beneath him had collapsed. Medics were called immediately. People shouted at him to get up, refusing to believe what they were seeing as a stretcher rushed in. Suddenly, Alexander lifted his arm. Seeing him move, the medical team hesitated and walked past him. Alexander claimed the sword had shortcircuited and said he just needed a new one. He raised his arm again. A drone
flew in carrying a case. It dropped a sword into his hand. Alexander caught it and stood tall, declaring that Wasting such a fine blade had been a mistake. But as the sword saint, he had no shortage of weapons. Now Chu would taste his flaming great sword. Chu told him to wait. Alexander cursed and swung anyway. The sword shattered instantly, and the blast sent him flying once more. For the second time, Alexander hit the ground. His eyes rolled back. The crowd began to whisper, wondering if the sword saint was the real clown all along. Chu calmly
said that he was just about to Warn him that fire wouldn't work either, and he was going to suggest switching attributes. Suddenly, Alexander dropped to one knee. His vision blurred as his consciousness wavered. He assumed he must have struck something incredibly solid. The drone delivered even more swords. Alexander was furious that Chu dared to humiliate him on his own turf. Even if Chu had some strange elemental advantage, it didn't matter. This time he switched to a non-elemental Greatsword and vowed to slice him to pieces. He cursed at Chu and told him to go to hell.
As he charged again, Chu told him to wait because he was receiving another call. Alexander was forced to stop so abruptly that he nearly fell over. He screamed at Chu asking if he was being serious. Chu spoke to Day on the phone saying that he didn't start the fight so it shouldn't be pinned on him. He added that he understood the importance of maintaining A good international image, but it was Alexander who kept slamming his head into a wall and there was honestly no way to stop him. Alexander heard every word and felt utterly insulted.
He decided he no longer cared about international image either and shouted for Chu to die as he charged again. While still on the phone, Chu dodged the incoming blade with ease. He continued speaking to Dao as he evaded, saying it was Alexander who didn't care about Anyone's image, and that it was Alexander who ambushed people who had no way of fighting back. Chu added that he had already conceded enough, so he asked if he was allowed to defend himself. Now, Alexander ground his teeth in rage. As he swung again, Chu stepped onto the flat of
the blade and calmly told to over the phone that he understood the limits. Alexander shouted, asking what nonsense Chu was saying and accused him of spying on him. Chu replied that he Was simply waiting for the right opportunity. As the fight dragged on, someone in the audience noticed another live stream. It showed Chu dealing with a terrorist crisis in the city. Moments later, the footage appeared on the giant screen. The report stated that the incident occurred while Chu was on his way to duel the debunker, Alexander. Now, the crowd began to realize that the man
on the screen was the same person Alexander was trying to expose as a Fraud. They started questioning how someone like that could possibly be fake. Chu then spoke up, declaring that true heroes were out there fighting against the apocalypse, standing firm against the chaos swallowing the world. Meanwhile, false heroes strutdded around like clowns, claiming to expose frauds while actually stirring conflict just to gain views. He asked them to think about who truly deserved to be debunked. He told the sword saint that he had exposed So many evolvers that it made it seem like Alexander himself
was the one padded with fake strength. The crowd began chanting that the sword saint was fake. Alexander screamed back that Chu was the real fake and that he was the true clown. Chu lightly flicked his forehead. Alexander collapsed instantly. He lost consciousness and the crowd erupted in cheers for Chu. Chu called D and told him the match was over and that he would Be back shortly. Then Chu addressed everyone saying that the apocalypse should never be treated as live stream content because it was a bloody reality. The irony, he pointed out, was that some people
were using disaster footage just to chase clicks. He asked them who they would call heroes when the shadow of doomsday covered the world. He added that the real heroes were ordinary people quietly delivering supplies through monsterinfested ruins. Elderly People and children had used their own bodies to shield the entrances of shelters. Those people might never receive a single like. But it was those nameless individuals who were struggling to keep the final spark of civilization alive. Their worth as heroes could never be measured by combat power rankings. And he questioned who gave anyone the right to
call them frauds. The crowd agreed with him completely. Day was relieved knowing that Chu had won fair And square. Meanwhile, a man named Kosa lounged back calmly sipping his wine. He asked Catherine what all of this meant and whether they planned to make everyone evolve. Did they really have that kind of power? Catherine replied that if evolution were that easy, they wouldn't need the Ark plan at all. Both the Ark Plan and the Pure Land Plan had been prepared for over a decade. Now it was finally time to see which one was more right. Kosa
explained that the Pure Land relied on cheap evolution crystals, turning ordinary people into nothing more than cannon fodder. They were meant to relieve battlefield pressure during the apocalypse. After all, the more living humans that stepped onto the battlefield, the more monsters would be drawn in, which perfectly suited their strategy. By taking advantage of the spatial shock wave and the weakening of the doomsday gate, they would join forces and crush The doomsday tier monster while it was vulnerable. Once that succeeded, they would secure an ark capable of surviving the apocalypse. Kosa added that they would soon
have two arcs. Catherine asked what he meant. He explained that they had detected a massive energy signal within their borders, estimated to be on the level of another doomsday tier entity. It was located at Alexander's debunking site. Catherine became intrigued. The monster's source Power appeared to be manifesting in a human-like evolver. According to their data, the figure Alexander encountered was only a clone. The real body was roaming somewhere near the Atlantic. Now she understood why Alexander lost. The opponent wasn't even human. And since it wasn't human, collateral damage was unavoidable. She told Kosa that if
he encountered the target again, he was to kill it at all costs, even if it required the use of a tactical nuclear Missile. Kosa replied that he understood. After the fight, Chu flew across the ocean. A black dragon swam underneath him. The dragon emerged, towering the open seas. Suddenly, Chu received a call from Lang Yu. He answered the call and told her that they had arrived. He told her to go straight in, and they would meet at the villa's backyard. He zoomed across the ocean, leaving a trail of light. A person jogging in the area
noticed the sky and The trail of light that he left. In no time, Chu arrived at his destination. Nyxen was glad to see that he finished the cultivation. She was in awe when she saw that his hair had grown so long. She exclaimed that he's so handsome and she loves it so much. He explained that after a breakthrough in his cultivation, his hair naturally grew longer. Nyine didn't know that cultivation can make his hair grow. He noticed Lang Yu and congratulated her for becoming an Evolver. Xiaawi was surprised to hear that. She asked when it
happened and what her ability was. She answered that she wasn't sure. The day before yesterday, she accidentally crushed the boss's crimson crystal at work. Then she evolved. She demonstrated it by extending her hand and pulling the knife towards her and then she caught it. Chu grabbed her hand to take a closer look. He realized that her ability was weapon manipulation. She blushed as she asked What kind of ability was that. He explained that it was a manipulation type ability. He met someone like that yesterday. It was the robber. Any object recognized by Lang as a
weapon could be freely controlled. The robber back then declared that he possessed the ability to manipulate metal, turning all metal into sharp spears. This ability could even enhance their power to some extent. However, the manipulation type evolver he met could control metal. More Precisely, it was iron atoms. Ling Yu was sad that she's too weak. Even if one gains power beyond the ordinary compared to those who master ice, fire, and lightning, she felt inferior. Even in the battlefield to evolvers capable of launching ranged superpower attacks at will, merely controlling a fruit knife was too feeble.
Chu observed that during the earlier sensing that fruit knife while flying wasn't controlled by psychic Power or telekinesis, nor by electromagnetic waves. It was simply flying on its own. And when Lingu held the fruit knife, a force similar to the power that enhances his tyrant blad's sharpness appeared and that the knife's strength was instantly magnified 100fold. So he clarified that the ability wasn't weak. It was just because the target was wrong. After all, there was nothing there that could truly count as a weapon besides that fruit knife. But if he were to take out an
indestructible long sword, or even a transcendent weapon, then her weapon ability would make her strength sore instantly. He took out his sword and stabbed the ground. Violent waves of energy erupted. Xiaawi was shocked and slightly terrified when he saw the boss's weapon. Lang Yu was overwhelmed with its presence. Chu answered that if her weapon mastery ability can control that heaven tyrant blade, her power Would skyrocket. He told her that her ability strength was bound to the weapon's grade, the stronger the weapon, the stronger she would become. Nison was trembling. She told Chu that his blade
was terrifying. He answered that it was natural since countless souls had perished under the tyrant blade. Even just displayed there, the killing aura it emits carries a conqueror's dominance. The backyard had become eerie because of it. Lang Yu stated that it Was a weapon meant for destruction. The pressure could be high for anyone else as well. Her legs were trembling. As she tried to pull the sword towards her, she was able to grab it, but couldn't hold on. She asked the boss how he could freely wield that great blade to strike down enemies. Lenu gripped
the sword tightly and let out a loud scream. After a struggle, she finally pulled the blade free. Chu smiled when he saw it. Holding the sword with both hands, Lenyu said That just drawing it out had instantly raised her strength by an entire level. Chu suggested that she try swinging it. She hesitated and asked if she was really allowed to. Chu smiled and said yes. She planted her feet, gathered all her strength, and lifted the blade. Ling Yus expression turned serious. She swung it. Xiao Hui and Naikin were so frightened that they hid behind Chu.
But after that single swing, Lyu dropped to her knees. She apologized, saying she Couldn't do it. The weapon was simply too powerful. Chu told her she had done well. Even one strike from her was enough to unleash a world shattering force. Suddenly, something sliced through someone's villa. The owner frowned and demanded to know which bastard dared to tear his roof apart in broad daylight. Lang Yu nervously asked if that was caused by her attack. Chu replied that it was. Her control was still lacking, And she would need a weapon better suited to her evolution. With
that settled, he invited everyone to lunch, his treat. After lunch, Chu told Lyu to follow him alone. She blushed and quickly asked what he meant. Chu clarified that they were heading to the special affairs bureau. He planned to ask D to lend her a transcendent weapon. Meanwhile, a massive source energy reaction was detected. Doomsday gate number two was expanding Toward a critical size. A visible forlim had broken through the fissure. A gigantic arm was emerging, and the creature was estimated to fully cross in 120 seconds. Military tanks opened fire. Flames erupted across the creature's arm
as shells slammed into it. Reports came in that the monster's forlim had been heavily bombarded, yet it still couldn't be stopped from forcing its way through the gate. Estimated full crossing time dropped to 90 seconds. The creature's Upper body had already passed through the fissure. Military helicopters moved in closer. The monster noticed them and shifted its focus. At the command station, reports came in that armed helicopters had lost power for unknown reasons. A source field appeared to have expanded, disabling their propulsion systems. Catherine observed the scene with interest. She judged the creature to be a
monarch class ancient behemoth. She Advised abandoning conventional tactical weapons and immediately deploying tactical nuclear warheads. A soldier informed Colonel Catherine that their troops were still on the front line. She coldly pressured him to follow her orders anyway. The nuclear warheads were launched. The monster sensed the danger. Inside the command station, operators watched as its propulsion systems failed. Impact would happen ahead of schedule. Kosa chased after the warhead. He struck it hard, accelerating its trajectory and kicked it straight into the monster's mouth. Then it detonated. Catherine reflected on how ordinary people had no idea what truly
lay beyond each doomsday gate across the world. To kill monarchclass monsters, every nation had already used all kinds of super weapons. That was one of the reasons the endless swarms beyond the gates had been held back for years. Whenever massive monster surges appeared, whether king- Class or monarch class, nukes, hydrogen bombs, and triple-phase warheads were deployed again and again. Whether for wide area cleansing or precise elimination, humanity's strongest weapons were still the most effective way to delay the apocalypse. But she wondered how long that delay would last. 3 months, 3 years, maybe even 30. Still,
she knew that was a meaningless thought. She issued her command. With everything they had, they would reclaim the source Essence from the monster's remains. Even under radiation, they would forge a new future for mankind. Their deaths would be remembered as the most glorious sacrifice humanity had ever made. They would board the great ship and pass through the doomsday gate together, opening a new home for all humankind. That was the great ark plan. Meanwhile, at the special affairs bureau, Lang Yu and Chu arrived together. She asked if this was the Place that managed evolvers. Chu replied
yes. He told her that he knew Director Day quite well, so they would definitely be able to find a weapon that suited her best. Just then, a sports car pulled up nearby. Chienkan stepped out and greeted Chu. She then asked who the woman beside him was. Chu introduced Ling Yu as his company's secretary and a newly awakened evolver. After that, he introduced Shenkin to Lang Yu. Chenchin looked Ling Yu over as she introduced herself. Deep Down, she thought that although Ling Yu was pretty, her figure wasn't as good as hers. So it was fine. Chu
reminded them that they might end up fighting side by side in the future. So it would be best not to ruin their relationship so early on at Da's office. De said that Chu's battle with the sword saint had greatly boosted their international image. People everywhere were saying that their revolvers carried the dignity and presence of a great nation. He added That it was all thanks to Chu. Chu told him to save the praise for later because he was there for something else. They asked what it was. Chu snapped his fingers. The two women walked in
and greeted De. He immediately recognized Chungkan, but Lang Yu was unfamiliar to him. Still, she felt oddly familiar, and he guessed she might be from Chus company. Lang Yu introduced herself. The commented that Chu really knew how to pick his people. Chu told him to cut The nonsense and get to business since he was there to register someone as an evolver. The said that Chu didn't need to come personally since Jian's evolver certificate had already been issued. Chu replied that he had one more agenda to register Lang Yu as an evolver. D was shocked to
learn that Chu secretary had also awakened. At the third floor testing room, D reviewed Lang Yus data. Her strength measured at 3,300 kg and her speed reached 51 m/s. That Placed her physical fitness at the level of a lower ranked three-star evolver. However, her superpower was extremely special. It didn't act on her body directly. Instead, it enhanced the cold weapon in her hand. The stronger the weapon, the stronger she became. In other words, her combat strength would rise by one full star due to the weapon's bonus, allowing her to theoretically reach the standard of a
four-star evolver. Chunky watched from The side, listening in, and realized that Lingus overall strength was actually on par with her own. Back in Days's office, Chu and Day spoke in serious tones. Day said that if it were only Chongqan, it would be one thing. But now that two evolvers had suddenly appeared by Chu's side, both with strength close to fourstar, it made him suspect that Chu was hiding something. Chu said he would be honest. He revealed that there was a method to promote the Evolution of ordinary humans, similar to the energy crystals distributed by the
Special Affairs Bureau. De was startled. He asked how Chu even knew about the bureau's secret, energy crystals. Chu calmly replied that nothing could really be hidden from him. He said that he wasn't interested in things like energy crystals. Then he took out a crystal. De's expression changed the moment he saw it. It was contaminated energy, essentially a demon crystal, and he was Right. The asked where Chu got it. Chu gave a vague answer, saying he had simply picked it up. He could feel da doubt. They knew very well how powerful a monster's source had to
be to condense a demon crystal the size of a grain of rice. Yet, the one Chu showed was as large as an egg. Chu asked if to thought the stone was precious. D answered that it was more than precious. It was practically priceless. He admitted that the energy crystals distributed by the Special affairs bureau were refined from demon crystal stones. Among the five post doomsday worlds that currently existed, demon crystal stones were the most valuable resource. Yet D had never seen one of such high purity. The crystal Chu brought had an extremely high contamination level.
Just standing close to it was dangerous. Chu said that he had many more. D was alarmed. He immediately told Chu not to take them out again. Even for the bureau, it was Too dangerous and he didn't want the entire place destroyed. That precious mineral could not only accelerate superpower cultivation, it also had countless tactical applications. It was a key material for many forbidden weapons used against powerful monsters. Once again, D asked where Chu obtained so many demon crystal stones. Chu replied that he picked them up behind a small doomsday gate. Whether D believed it or
not was up to him. At that moment, D finally understood why that kid's strength was growing at an absurd rate. He had been using demon crystal stones. Chu added that the small doomsday world had already been completely annihilated and the gate there was permanently closed. Fortunately, he had recovered a large number of red demon crystal stones from it. D told him to name his price. The headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau would be willing to give him a generous offer. Chu pointed out that They both knew money was meaningless in a world overshadowed by the
apocalypse. D asked what he wanted. Chu demanded access to the strongest weapons in the bureau. He said that the Special Affairs Bureau's hero teams paired evolvers with matching weapons. The team he was about to form needed to borrow from their armory. In exchange, he was willing to trade the demon crystal stones in his possession, and he believed it was a fair deal. Moments later at the third Floor testing room, D presented a tangstyle blade named Wandering Dragon, forged from a meteorite that fell from a collapsing doomsday world. He said that compared to the heaven tyrant
blade Chu wielded, the wandering dragon size was far more suitable for a woman. He asked Ling Yu how it felt. This weapon had just been transferred from the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters. Lingu drew the blade and nodded, saying it was extremely light. Chu picked up another Blade and asked what the deal was with it. It caught his attention because it looked somewhat similar to wandering dragon. D told him it was called hidden scale. The sword was forged from leftover meteorite fragments used to create wandering dragon. Due to the limited material, the blade was shorter and
considered impractical for real combat. Chu disagreed. He could faintly sense an energy link between hidden scale and wandering dragon. It was Likely because they were born from the same source. One represented light, the other darkness. Polar opposites. Chu told D that he would take hidden scale as well. D joked that wandering dragon alone wasn't enough for him. Chu tossed the shortsord to Lang Yu. She caught it cleanly. Chu told Du that the special affairs bureau hadn't even figured out the weapon's true use. Wandering dragon and hidden scale were clearly meant to be used together to
reach their full Potential. Lang Yu added that she could feel the two blades resonating with each other. D laughed and said that since Chu had such a sharp eye, the bureau would treat it as a buy 1 get one free deal. Chu replied that he would pay the full price in demon crystal stones as long as the special affairs bureau was willing to bring out its best weapons. So D showed him more items. On a display stand sat a red crystal charm and a string of prayer beads wrapped in Swirling purple energy. Chu felt an
intense fire element aura, extremely powerful, but it was tangled with heavy contaminated energy. D explained that it was called purple phoenix fire wings. It was an auxiliary type weapon. On its own, it couldn't harm enemies, but it could greatly enhance fire attribute abilities. It could even manifest a pair of fire wings, temporarily granting the power of flight. Chu took that one as well. De's face twisted when he heard It. Chu turned to Chenin and asked if her ability was firebased. She answered, "Yes." De immediately shouted that this piece was different. It came from a specific
doomsday world and still carried strong contaminated energy. Before the contamination was removed, an ordinary evolver couldn't wear it. Cho simply called out a name. She. She suddenly appeared in midair and complained that she was hungry. De was stunned. He demanded to know where she Had come from. He told them not to be shocked. She was his daughter. She was immune to contaminated energy and she could feed on it. She devoured the contamination and soon felt full. D was completely stunned. His mind went blank. The Special Affairs Bureau's research institute had spent 500 million building a
contamination removal machine, and it still wasn't as effective as that little girl. It made him wonder just how much more he still didn't know about Chu. Chunkan put on the equipment. Chu smiled and said it suited her well. She liked how beautiful it looked, but quickly realized something was wrong. It was burning hot. Flames erupted around her. D rushed forward in alarm. Her evolution level was too low to control such power. He shouted for her to take it off immediately. Chu stopped him and encouraged Chian instead. He told her she could do it. He wanted
her to tame this ferocious beast with her own Strength. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to endure it. Men in suits rushed in with fire extinguishers when they saw her engulfed in flames. D waved them off, saying everything was under control and told them to stand down. Chu told that she possessed a fire affinity constitution. Not only was she immune to being burned by fire, she could even heal herself with it. The flames began to spiral into the red crystal. Golden wings formed behind her. She had Adapted. D stared in shock. He couldn't help but
feel awe. The people following Chu were far beyond ordinary. He never imagined that a four-star evolver could wield six-star equipment. From that moment on, Chu declared that they would be his capable generals. Roya noticed them nearby. She hid behind a wall and overheard Chu saying that those two women were the first members of the transcendent squad. The sight made her irritated. Those two were standing far Too close to him. Lon spotted her and asked what she was staring at. Ruoya snapped that the hero team was nothing but a bunch of losers. Lon was stunned. He
realized she must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. At the same time, Kay rolled her eyes and called him an idiot, then quietly explained the real reason. Chu was there. In another setting, people on the streets looked up as the sky turned purple, thick clouds rolling overhead. At an apocalypse base Nearby, alarms blared. An alert announced that the doomsday tide had begun. People ran for their lives. Meanwhile, inside the hero team's lounge, someone was watching the news on TV. It was Kay flipping channels in search of a superhero anime. She complained
that once the doomsday tide began, ordinary people were supposed to stay indoors, but now even TV signals were cut. She wondered how civilians were supposed to endure that. How Replied that the hero squad would soon be deployed to protect civilians. He told Kaime to stop worrying about her cartoons. Just then, Day walked in and asked if everyone was ready. They all responded at once, greeting the chief. They said that the time had come to prove their worth. With the apocalyptic tide underway, not only were the main doomsday gates activating, but multiple secondary gates were appearing
across The region. That meant monsters would be numerous, varied in form, and spawn locations would be unpredictable. They had all recently advanced to four-star evolvers, so he expected them to handle ordinary threestar monsters without difficulty. However, intelligence reports confirmed that several rare four-star beasts had appeared within the city and were rampaging with extreme danger. Zongwin spoke up, saying that even their weakest member, Lun, had Already reached early four-star strength. He confidently said they could now deal with four-star monsters head on. Lun turned red and hurriedly told the captain not to say that out loud. D
replied that raw strength wasn't their issue. After all, they were all outstanding talents he had personally trained. Under the pressure of the apocalyptic tide, he wanted them to push themselves further and strive to break Into five-star. They all answered in unison that they understood and wouldn't let him down. Roya asked whether Chu planned to get involved. Day replied that in his opinion, Chu definitely would. At Chu's home, a girl rang the doorbell. At the time, Chu was watching Chongqin and Lang Yu train. He could tell they were adapting smoothly to their new powers. Ji came
over and informed Chu that a girl guest had arrived. The visitor wore a fox mask Tilted to the side of her head and looked delighted to see him. Chu immediately recognized her. She was the woman from the Yaki group. She introduced herself as Inaba Yuko. Within her organization, her code name was Inari. Chu remembered her well, the fox goddess with information analysis abilities. Yuko said that if Chu hadn't saved her life back then, she wouldn't even be standing here. After returning, she tried to investigate him, but she Never expected him to be such a famous
figure. Once she realized that, she quickly tracked down his home address. Chu understood that hiding his identity was no longer possible. He asked why she had come all this way. Yuko said she had come to pledge herself to him. Chu explained the situation to the others and introduced her as the woman he had rescued during the incident on Ocho Town Island. Yuko added that she couldn't even afford food back home Anymore, so she came seeking refuge. Tenkian and Lang Yu immediately felt pity when they heard that she couldn't even afford to eat. Yuko activated her
Fox light divine sight on them. This was one of her unique skills. She calmly reported that one of them was a fire element controller at mid four-star level while the other possessed weapon mastery at high three star. But when armed, her strength rose to high four-star. Chu praised her accuracy, Saying her intel gathering ability was as sharp as ever. He added that their girl's squad just happened to be lacking an intelligent specialist. Yuko smiled and replied that her ability was nothing compared to his. Chiian watched quietly. She noticed how naturally Yuko flattered Chu, even though
she hadn't fully matured yet. Still, Chienkan felt confident. It wasn't a competition when facing a real woman. Chu told them that they now had a mission as a threeperson Team. He began calling Arena by her real name, Yuko. With her acting as their intelligence officer, he was confident they could survive the doomsday tide safely. Tienan asked if they were staying behind to fight the monster invasion. Chu replied that he had a more important mission. She suddenly informed him that the gate had opened. Lung Yu hesitated. They had only just evolved, and she felt unsure about
taking on such A heavy responsibility. Chu told her that there were three of them now. Three people were enough to save the world as long as they believed in their own strength. Yuko smiled warmly and told them to take good care of her. At People's Square, a building suddenly exploded. As debris rained down, people screamed and ran in every direction. A monster emerged from the smoke and panic spread instantly. The military quickly made their decision. No matter what it Was, they would hold the line. But one soldier froze in shock. A terror demon had appeared.
The troops opened fire to protect the civilians, but their bullets did nothing. The guns were useless against it. The terror demon formed sharp spikes from its arm and hurled them toward the soldiers. An evolver leapt forward and activated a shield. It was Lon. He blocked the attack and shouted for the soldiers to evacuate immediately, telling them to leave the Monster to the hero squad. Seeing the Special Affairs Bureau's hero squad arrive, the military finally relaxed and handed over control of the area. Zong Wen checked the readings and said the contamination level was extremely high. There
had to be a secondary doomsday gate nearby. He ordered someone to notify the bureau that a four-star terror demon had appeared at People's Square. Then he gave the command. The hero squad was to eliminate the Contamination and closed the secondary gate. Everyone moved at once. How was fired up. He raised his spear and charged, striking the terror demon's arm. His expression changed instantly. Its defense was too strong. His spirit lance couldn't pierce it. The demons swatted him away. Zong Wen reacted immediately. He activated spirit weaving and caught how midair with his web. How exhaled in
relief and thanked their captain. Then someone shouted for that Idiot to duck. It was Kay. She fired her long gun. A powerful beam tore through the webbing and slammed into the monster's head. Smoke burst out. One of its eyes was destroyed. House saw it clearly so the sniper rifle could penetrate its defenses. Kay fired again, aiming straight for the weak point. This time, the terror demon raised its arm and deflected the shot. The beam ricocheted into a nearby building, setting it ablaze. Zong Wen immediately Warned her that if she kept destroying public property, the damages
would come out of her salary. Kay snapped back that he should stop talking nonsense. She was clearly aiming at the monster's weak spot. Zongwen narrowed his eyes and said the terror demons seemed to possess some kind of spatial deflection ability. Attacks that relied on precise trajectories were being countered. That sparked an idea in Kim's mind. She Suggested flooding it with attacks from multiple imprecise trajectories at once. If there were enough shots, it wouldn't be able to deflect them all in time. Zongwen told her to follow his commands for once. He reminded everyone that the chief
had scolded them recently for poor coordination. until they identified the monster's true weakness. He ordered her not to rush into a full assault. Kime agreed. She said she'd wait for Lon to draw its attention, then she'd move in And fire at close range. And if one shot wasn't enough, she'd fire too. Zongwin ordered Roya to cover Kime from behind. The monster's weak point was the back of its head, and a close-range detonation there would damage its true body. Roya drew her sword and replied that she understood. Then he told Lun and Hao, the shield duo,
to take it head-on and draw its attention. They immediately agreed. Zongwin said he would bind the terror demon with spirit force and Restrict its movement. The hero squad took command of the operation. The monster let out a deafening roar and charged forward. Kay and Ruya rushed in as well. Meanwhile, Zong Wen began weaving magical strings. They wrapped around the monster's feet using the technique called strangling vines. He pulled hard on the strings, locking it firmly in place. The hero squad was in position. Zongwin revealed that his spirit force threads could transform Into anything. While the
terror demons feet were restrained, it unleashed spikes from its arms. Roya and Kim evaded the attack while Lon raised a barrier to protect Zongwen, who had to maintain his stance. Then how attacked with his spear. He activated his spirit force spear throw. It was meant to pierce straight through the monster's head, but it missed. The terror demon reacted instantly. It grabbed the spear midair and stopped it cold. How shouted That the time had come. Lun charged forward. He had been waiting for this moment. A shield of light formed around his arm. Using it, he pushed
the spear forward and rammed it into the monster's throat. They tore straight through its head. Lon paused to see if it worked. The monster slowly pulled the spear back out. Zongwen was shocked. The head wasn't its weak point. While it focused on removing the spear, Kay fired her spirit force scattershot. Zong Wen Yelled at her not to aim for the head because it wasn't the weak point, but it was too late. Ka had already fired. The blast grazed the terror demon's shoulder before exploding. At the same time, the spear shattered. How froze. His spear was
gone, but Kay managed to blow the monster's head clean off. Blood erupted from its neck like a fountain. She declared [clears throat] proudly that it was over and that her gun had decided the battle. Zongwen panicked. He Screamed at her to fall back and put distance between herself and the monster. Kim's face went pale the moment she heard him. Behind her, the monster's torso was still moving. It was about to strike. Roya rushed to her side and took a defensive stance. Blood sprayed across Kim's face. Roya's shield shattered, and the monster punched straight through Roya's
torso. It had grown a vine-like limb from its arm. That was what pierced Roya and lifted her into the air. Tears filled Kay's eyes when she saw her like that. They screamed Roya's name. Lun exploded with rage. He focused all his power and activated spirit shield impact. Then his eyes widened. Roya was thrown directly toward him. She crashed into Lon's arms. Zongwen stood frozen in shock. He wo more threads. He caught them both just before they hit the ground. Relief washed over him. He had made it in time, but the threads binding The monster began
to loosen. Zongwin knew that they were in trouble. At the same time, Kay broke down, blaming herself for what happened to Roya. She sobbed uncontrollably. Zongwin shouted at her to get out of there immediately. Zongwin ordered how to take Kay and retreat while he handled the terror demon himself. How's face twisted in anguish without his spirit force spear, charging in would be suicide. He admitted that he couldn't do It. Zongwin cursed inwardly. The hero squad was facing a monster only one level above them, yet their morale had collapsed instantly. If it were just a difference
in power, teamwork could close the gap. But once the will to fight was gone, there was nothing left to save. De's scolding echoed in his mind. He had been told that dispatch and intel were his responsibility. Yet he always froze during real crisis. He was reminded that he was the brains of the Team, a soldier. And if he kept acting like a bystander, he was only sending his squad to die for nothing. Hiding in the back, barking orders from safety, watching helplessly while his teammates risked their lives on the front line. He admitted it. This
was his failure as captain. But it's still not too late for him to turn things around. He started to utilize his skill. The monster raised its arm, ready to strike Kay. Zong Wen bound its arm instantly. By now, he had Layered additional armor over himself. He declared that the monster wasn't the only one who knew how to pull strings. With a sharp motion, he yanked its arm away. He challenged the monster headon. The monster hesitated. Zongwin slammed a punch into it and lifted its massive body off the ground. Strings wrapped tightly around his leg. They
launched him upward. He formed an entangling battle axe. The massive axe smashed the monster into the ground. Zongwin used His strings to land safely. The monster lay still. He wondered if he had finally shattered its armor. Slowly, it stood back up and took a step forward. Zongwin's breath caught. The shell hadn't broken. The cracks he made were already healing. The monster lunged at him. He knew then this would require something far more violent. He bound the monster's body completely. Then he pulled back his fist and struck. The monster was driven backward. Zongwin Roared that it
wasn't going anywhere. Blood spilled from the impact. The monster retaliated, releasing a storm of spikes from its twisted body. As it bent forward, Zongwin saw it clearly. The weak point. Its heart was bulging out from its chest. He knew that if he retreated now, he'd lose his only chance to kill it. He refused to retreat. If he backed down, he would fall straight back into the abyss. This was his one and only opportunity. He attacked, and this Time, Zongwen was able to hit its heart. The monster collapsed, bleeding heavily. Relief washed over him. He had
actually done it, but his body was wrecked. Kay stared at him in shock. Then fear overtook her. She screamed for the captain and pointed ahead. More monsters were coming. When Zongwan saw them, despair crept into his eyes. He muttered what kind of sick joke this was. It felt as if fate itself was mocking them. The hero squad wore anguished expressions. How finally realized how weak they truly were. Even at fourstar strength, facing a monster just one level higher had nearly wiped them out. And out there, five-star monsters were everywhere. Zongwen told them to run. He
ordered Kay to take Roya and Lon with her. He believed the Special Affairs Bureau could still protect them and help them survive the apocalypse. He believed that he himself still had a chance to grow stronger. Kay refused. She said they Couldn't abandon him. Zongwin screamed at her to leave. They couldn't save him and he didn't want them dying for nothing. Kay froze in horror. A monster leapt forward and landed right in front of them. The monster grabbed Zong Wen by the head. He told them that protecting their teammates was their responsibility. The highest principal director
day had drilled into them. He wanted them to enter and leave the battlefield alive. He screamed for them To get out. The grip tightened. Zongwin coughed up blood. Luckily, Chu arrived and heard everything. They all turned toward him. He calmly said that it was too early to talk about getting out. Zongwin stared at Chu in disbelief. Our boy just entered the battlefield like a super freaking hero. Ka felt crushed by the overwhelming pressure. Zongwin muttered that of all people, he had run into the one he hated most, but at least they were saved. Then Chu
told the Monster that he was its target. The monster charged at him. Chu thought it might be troublesome until he realized it was only a five-star. There was no need to draw the heavenly tyrant blade. He decided to send it back to hell with his bare hands. Zongwen couldn't believe Chu planned to fight unarmed. The monster didn't even have time to react. With a single flick of Chu's hand, its upper body exploded into pieces. Chu remarked that they were so weak they Weren't even worth looking at. He said he was in a hurry and told
them to come at him all at once. The monsters surrounded him. How stood frozen, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. Their squad of five four stars had nearly been wiped out. Yet Chu was killing fivestar terror demons as if it took no effort at all. Chime snapped at How to stop staring. She tried to help Zongwen stand, but he told her to forget about him and focus on Lun and Roya instead. Meanwhile, the monsters were now hesitating to charge against our MC. Chu sensed it. The monsters were afraid of him. And because they hesitated,
he took the initiative. He vanished from where he stood. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared everywhere at once, tearing through monster bodies without mercy. Zongwin's face went pale. He said it was like Chu was using cheats. Human logic simply didn't apply to him. His knees weakened as he watched, feeling grateful That Chu wasn't their enemy. Howal muttered that Chu was scarier than the monsters themselves. Then after defeating all the monsters, Chu appeared in front of Zongwin. He tossed him a demon core and told him to use it on Roya. It was the only
thing that could save her. Zongwin was left speechless. He stared at the core in shock. Seeing Chu casually throw away something so priceless filled him with humiliation. Zongwin shouted angrily, demanding to Know when their squad's survival had anything to do with him. But Chu had already disappeared, and it was because he needed to check the situation once more. Monsters were flooding out of the city from all directions. He could only hope they would withstand the pressure. He needed them to buy him more time. At the same time, Zeon sped forward on her motorcycle. A wolf-like
monster had appeared in the mountain villa area. She had only planned to deliver food to her Junior, but it started chasing her. She thought this was the end. She screamed at it to stay back, but the monster struck. Her motorcycle was smashed apart, and she was thrown to the ground. She hit the pavement hard. The wolf stepped over the rubble. Zeon immediately forced herself up and retreated. She knew only Chu could deal with creatures like this. She remembered what her father once told her, that the reason they paid so much to move there Was because
someone powerful lived nearby, someone who could protect them when the apocalypse arrived. But when the doomsday arrived, Chu was nowhere to be found. Her father was already furious because all the monsters had flooded the streets and he was still looking for our MC. Back then, she told her father that Chu wouldn't abandon them. He had promised, and Chu never broke his promises. Her father replied that she thought too Highly of him. In a real crisis, he believed Chu would always prioritize himself. That was why she decided to go out and find him. And now, she
was facing a wolf beast about to devour her. She begged for someone to save her. Suddenly, a burst of flames slammed into the monster. Zeon slowly opened her eyes, stunned. The flames grew even larger. She had to shield her eyes. She thought it was Chu. She called out his name, but instead she saw Chian standing There, having already killed the wolf beast. Xean stared at her in disbelief. She asked when Chian became an evolver. Tian replied that it was a long story and this wasn't the time to explain. She said she came with Ling Yu
and Yuko to clear monster contamination. Chu had ordered them to prioritize the area near the mountain villa fortress. Realizing this was Chu's command, Zeian became curious about their relationship. Lung Yu calmly said that she was the boss's Secretary, Yuko added that Chu was her benefactor and she had traveled a long distance to repay him. Chian blushed and admitted that Chu was her boyfriend. Zean was still processing that when Shiki suddenly appeared behind her and announced that Chu was her papa. Zean felt her head ache. The group's composition was far too complicated. But in the end,
they all shared one thing in common. They were Chu's people. Chenan noticed Zean had called Chu Her Jr. Earlier. She asked what their relationship was, making Zeon hesitate. She recalled how she had approached Chu, delivered him food, and even tried to seduce him. Her face heated up at the memory. She was about to explain who she was. But then she just proudly declared that she was Chu's exclusive delivery girl. Back to this weak hero squad. How walked over to Lun, who was kneeling beside Roya. He asked if he was okay. Lun replied that he was
fine, but Roya Had suffered severe injuries. He didn't know what to do. He told how to contact the Special Affairs Bureau and request a rescue team. Kay said she already tried, but no one was answering. Zongwin said it was useless. Ever since the doomsday bell rang, monsters had flooded every part of the city. The rescue teams were overwhelmed, stretched thin everywhere. They simply couldn't respond in time. In other words, the hero squad could only rely on themselves. Lun grew more anxious as Roya continued bleeding. If this went on, she wouldn't survive. Roya's face had turned
deathly pale. She coughed up blood. Zongwin explained that according to Chu's plan, if Roya could level up to fivear, the sudden surge of power would heal most of her injuries. But that plan required the demon core. Their eyes widened when they saw it. They were uneasy. It was a contaminated magic crystal. Residual monster contamination still lingered Within it. A magic crystal that hadn't been processed by the bureau's purification department was absolute contraband. How asked if Zongwen had any other way to save Roya. He couldn't answer. Zongwen shouted at them to look at the reality of
the situation. He asked whether following rules mattered more or saving a life. No one spoke. He asked them again why their hero squad even existed. He demanded an answer from how. How replied that it was to follow regulations, protect civilians, and protect teammates. Zongwin immediately asked what he would do if they followed regulations but failed to protect civilians and their own teammates. Then he asked how planned to act. How argued that Chu was the one who gave them the crystal. Zongwin hated Chu and How believed that this power was illegitimate. Zongwin said he was right.
Illegitimate power shouldn't be used. Once used, the consequences were unpredictable. He despised Chu because that man did whatever he pleased and never cared about anyone else's opinion. But whether Chu stole his power, robbed it, or obtained it through some unscientific method, the truth was that Chu used that power to save them. Without him, they would all be dead. Silence fell over the group until Kay finally admitted that it was true. Lun hesitated. If they used the crystal on Roya and she mutated, the Special Affairs Bureau would never allow a mutated evolver to remain in the
Hero Squad. Zongwin said she wouldn't mutate. He wouldn't use the red magic crystal on her. He would bear the sin alone. He used the crystal on himself and immediately received a notification that his evolver level had reached fivear. Power surged violently through his body. Then the system warned him. His DNA couldn't withstand the contamination. It Was breaking apart. The others panicked and rushed toward him, but he shouted for them to stay back. A terrifying aura burst out from him, and then it erupted. The system notified him that his evolver level was abnormal. He rebooted as
a mutant five-star. Kime trembled as she raised her gun and aimed it at him. He was now a mutant, one who had fallen, someone who walked a path completely opposite to an evolver. Mutants craved the contamination power from within the Doomsday gate, and in the end, they became servants of the abyss. She was terrified. Zongwin activated weave. After breaking through to five-star, he could feel how much stronger his spirit thread technique had become. The strings he wo gently touched Roya's wound. Kay froze. Roya's injury was healing. Her torn abdomen closed, restoring itself to how it
once was. Kay called out to their captain, but Zongwen calmly declared that from that moment on, he was no Longer their captain. He said his new goal was to catch up to Chu to become an existence capable of replacing him. He told them they needed to grow stronger. They no longer had to stand behind him. Then he shot into the sky, moving at the speed of light. How felt a deep sadness settle in his chest. Their captain had become a mutant. He could no longer stand alongside the hero squad. In that moment, how finally understood.
Zongwin had been right all along. Without power, Clinging to principles alone meant nothing. Zeon watched the three women, and not going to lie, our boy really is starting to build an overpowered team. Then she asked if they had become evolvers with Chu's help. She pouted slightly, feeling that only those close to him received the benefits first. Tian answered yes and asked if Zean wanted to evolve as well. Zean quickly said that wasn't what she meant. She only wanted to ask Chu for help. The mountain villa Fortress was under attack, especially near her family's home, and
they were surrounded. Lung Yu smiled at that. Her hidden dragon scales were buzzing with hunger. It was time to feed them. Zeon worried that only the three of them were going. Chunkian explained that Chu had gone to handle his own matters and left the fortress's safety to them. Yuko added that the contamination level had dropped rapidly after they killed the monster dog. But in another direction, The contamination concentration was rising. What appeared there seemed to be a new doomsday rift. They decided to head out and wipe out all the monsters in that area. Xeon grew
worried and insisted on going with them. Junkan refused. Zeon wasn't an evolver. If she encountered monsters, she could die. Zeon replied that even if she wasn't an evolver, this was still her home. Her father was still in danger. She couldn't just sit back and watch. One area was in Total chaos, engulfed in flames. Men in suits fired their machine guns non-stop. They aimed at the wolves. Even though they knew bullets were barely effective, they still stood their ground to protect the house. One man fired wildly. A wolf monster charged straight through the gunfire, they kept
pulling the trigger. A man panicked when his gun clicked empty, and the monster continued advancing. It was about to devour him. Then it suddenly sensed something from The side. The man shut his eyes, bracing for death. The monster was cut down. Its head was severed by Lang Yu. The man collapsed onto the ground and the severed head landed in his lap. He screamed in shock and instinctively tossed it away. His colleague caught it, screamed, and threw it again. Only for it to land on another teammate. It looked absurd, like a twisted game of catch. More
monsters swarmed toward the house. Futai cursed under his breath, Thinking Chu had tricked them by not showing up. Another man muttered that if Chu were an ordinary evolver, they should have called his revolver son, Zongwen, instead. Then they froze. They saw Futai's daughter. Zeon sprinted toward the house. Monsters chasing after her. They couldn't understand why she wasn't hiding. Lung Yu swept through the monsters in a single motion. Blood sprayed as heads flew. At the same time, Tienion formed a spiraling inferno and Slammed it into the ground, scorching everything in a wide radius. She smiled, satisfied.
The divine weapon Chu chose for her suited her perfectly. Meanwhile, a monster lunged at Zeon. Yuko stepped in and sliced it down with her short sword. Zeon stared in disbelief. Two rookie evolvers already possessed strength close to choose. It was impossible not to feel envious. She wanted to become strong like them, too. Yuko warned her to fall back. The Battlefield was too dangerous, and no one could protect her here. Then she turned and rushed back into the fight. The family guards hurried over to Zeon and demanded to know why she was there. She answered honestly.
She wanted to see what true power looked like. Futai called her phone and screamed at her, calling her unfil and ordering her to return to the fortress immediately. Then he turned his rage on the guards, yelling at them to drag Zeon back, even If it meant dying in the process. A wolf monster suddenly smashed into a nearby car. Metal crumpled. The monster let out a deafening roar. Zeon and the guards froze in shock. Futai's voice shrieked through the phone as he cursed the guards as useless idiots and demanded they protect his daughter. The guards apologized
in a panic. Then they turned and ran. Zean was left alone, facing the wolf monster. She clenched her teeth and said that she wasn't someone who could Be bullied like before. She picked up a metal pipe, pointed it forward, and challenged the monster to come at her. She lunged at the monster and smashed it with the pipe. The monster collapsed. Futai shouted through the phone, asking what was happening. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Zeon had actually knocked down a monster. She didn't stop. As it fell, she jumped on top of it and stabbed
downward again and again. Zongwin's father spoke grimly, saying That his daughter might not be an ordinary person like his own son. That meant she was a naturalb born evolver. Futai was left shocked and confused. He explained that such people awaken suddenly, either at a certain stage of life or under intense external stimulation. In simple terms, they forcefully break the genetic lock. And Zeon had clearly met all the conditions. She drove the pipe into the wolf monster's head, blood spraying Everywhere. Realizing she had actually done it, she burst into laughter, exhilarated by her strength. Moments later,
she came back to her senses. Yuko, who had witnessed everything, told her that she awakened her revolver power at the perfect moment. Zeon proudly told them to look at her closely. She had become incredibly strong. She was overflowing with excitement. Killing monster so easily made her feel unstoppable. She asked if she was now a Four-star or even a five-star evolver. Yuko paused and checked. Then she told Zeon to stand a little farther away. Zeon asked what she meant. She had just killed a hellhound with her bare hands and a pipe. Yuko calmly explained that Zeon
had awakened a one-star support ability. That hellhound had already been on the verge of death, so weak that even a normal person could have finished it. Her ability did not increase her personal combat strength. on the Battlefield. She had no real survival capability. Zeon refused to believe it. She insisted she could clearly feel an awakened power inside her. Yuko explained that the ability was called lifelink. It allowed her to transfer damage suffered by others onto herself. She warned Zeon never to use it because it could kill her. With that, Yuko turned and left. Zeon stood
there in a daysaze. She had awakened an ability, but one she wasn't allowed to use. The Realization made her furious. The battlefield raged on. Explosions erupted everywhere. Lang Yu carved through monsters in her path while Chian unleashed massive waves of fire from both hands. Zeon clenched her fists, determined to keep fighting. But strange marks had begun to appear on her face. Previously, the fire marks on her body represented the backlash from controlling flames. At first, using her fire abilities caused the marks to Appear on her palms. Then, they spread to her hands. her arms and
even her back. Chu once held her hand and told her to wait. He said that after a short time, the fire marks would fade and she would be able to control fire again. She asked what would happen if she continued using her fire while her body was already covered in marks. Chu told her that once the fire marks reached her heart, she would die. Even though her body had a natural affinity for fire, it Couldn't negate the negative effects caused by the equipment. He reminded her to protect herself and never take unnecessary risks. But in
this moment, she was already being pushed to her limits. She tried to follow his advice, holding back, waiting for the fire marks to fade, and not forcing herself any further. Eventually, the wolf monsters were wiped out. Lung Yu calmly counted that she had killed 16 hell hounds. Chunk, on the other hand, had already Lost count after 26, maybe 27. Yuko warned them not to underestimate the enemy. There was a doomsday rift nearby, yet only large groups of hell hounds had appeared so far. That alone was abnormal. Normally, every hellgate was guarded by a boss monster
whose star level was two ranks higher than the mobs. If the hell hounds were three star, then the boss guarding the doomsday rift should be a five-star monster. Lang Yu believed that the three Of them could handle a five-star overlord level enemy. Without warning, lightning split the sky and red liquid poured down from above. Tian frowned, realizing it wasn't rain. Her blood ran cold when she understood what it was. It was blood. Something plummeted from the sky at terrifying speed. When it struck the ground, the impact shook the area violently. A wolf-headed demon stood there,
staring down at them with glowing red eyes. Its teeth were bared, as if it Were ready to tear someone apart. A massive red symbol suddenly appeared in the sky, glowing intensely and releasing razor-sharp energy in every direction. It felt as though something ancient and terrifying had just awakened. Lang Yu gagged, overwhelmed by the pressure. She also started coughing blood. Junkian coughed up blood, too. She realized she couldn't even look at it directly. The monster stood at top a building bathed in a massive beam of crimson light that Shot straight into the sky. Yuko quickly put
on her mask and activated divine gaze. She examined it closely. It was a wolf-headed demon, its red eyes calm yet merciless. A crimson mark glowed on its forehead. Its expression was composed, too composed, like it already knew no one there could threaten it. Yuko warned them not to look at it directly. The creature emitted emperor level pressure. Anyone who approached it without fear would have their internal organs crushed Instantly. That explains the damage these girls received just by feeling the presence of the monster. This monster was the slaughtering horned demon, a seven-star emperor. The realization
stunned them all. How could three and four-star evolvers like them possibly face something like this? Its power exceeded theirs by a full three orders of magnitude. Under normal circumstances, dealing with a seven-star emperor would require something on the Level of a tactical nuclear weapon. Even if they experienced a qualitative leap in strength, it wouldn't matter. They still wouldn't stand a chance. The only person capable of handling a sevenstar emperor was Chu. But Chu wasn't there. That meant they had only one option. Run. Facing an enemy whose strength surpassed theirs by three entire orders of magnitude,
no matter how they looked at it, was like smashing an egg against solid rock. Nearby, Zean answered a call From her father. She crawled across the ground to reach her phone. Futai shouted at her to run back to the fortress immediately. He said he would seal the gates so no one could enter. He had been watching the area she was in, and something unbelievable had appeared. Something no ordinary evolver could handle. But even though she knew she couldn't deal with it, she still didn't want to turn around and leave. Futai raised his voice, calling her
foolish. His fear for his daughter was obvious. Zeon grabbed the pipe and walked toward the monster. She shouted that this was her home. The monster landed right in front of her. The slaughtering horned demon stood tall, massive antlers, a shredded body, glowing red eyes, and dark energy cracking through the air like reality itself was breaking. Zeon stood in the middle of the ruined street, smoke rising around her, facing it head-on without backing away. She Declared that she would not allow it to take even one step into the Hong Fu family residence. Fuai screamed at his
useless bodyguards to stop her. He promised them 2 million if they dragged her back. He even said he would pay whatever they asked. The guard shouted back that for 10 million they would stake their lives to seize the young miss. They rolled forward in military tanks, charging straight toward Zeon. At the same time, Zeon rushed toward the Monster. One bodyguard in a suit and sunglasses screamed as he fired a heavy launcher. The slaughteringhorned demon calmly gathered energy in its palm. A beam shot out and pierced straight through the bodyguard. The rest froze in terror. They
kept firing anyway, but the slaughtering horn demon formed a magic circle above them. In an instant, it felt as if their souls were ripped out all at once. Then it turned its gaze toward the tank. Chengian witnessed Everything, her heart pounding with shock and fear. Zeon stood frozen. They received the information. Finger of death had been activated. Against it, low-level evolvers would be instantly killed by the slaughtering horn demon. The voice explaining this was Yukos transmitted through heart speech. When Chungan tried to respond, Yuko silenced her. She explained that even without speaking, she could send
information directly into their consciousness and Read their thoughts. From now on, everyone was to follow her commands and retreat at the slowest possible speed. Zeon questioned her. Was that really all they could do? If they encountered a monster they couldn't defeat, should they just turn around and flee? She refused to accept that because she no longer had any path of retreat. Suddenly, the monster was struck in the face. Zeon had thrown the pipe. The impact drew the demon's attention. She Screamed at the stupid deer-headed bastard, daring it to come at her. The slaughtering horned demon
prepared to strike Zeon. Yuko noticed immediately. Power gathered at the tip of its finger. The pressure crushed down on Zeon, making it hard for her to breathe. Her body was being dragged toward the monster. Just as it was about to release its attack, Futai screamed his daughter's name. Yuko knew it was already too late. That was the finger of Death. No one should have been able to stop it. But then someone beside her moved. It was Lung Yu. She slashed forward and severed the monster's arm. Zeon coughed up blood midair and slammed into the ground
with a heavy crash. She immediately lost consciousness. Then Chian formed a blazing fireball between her palms. In that instant, she understood. Zean was right. Chu's home was behind them. He had entrusted them with the mountain villa fortress. She Would not allow this monster to destroy it. She hurled the massive fireball straight at its face. Lang Yu seized the opening. She cut across the monster's neck. After landing, she steadied herself and assessed the damage. Yuko stared in disbelief. Lang Yu had injured a sevenstar emperor with only three star power. It made no sense. She activated her
eyes and immediately saw the reason. The problem wasn't Lung Yu. It was the blade. Hidden dragon. It was unnaturally Sharp. Yuko wondered if it was the result of some special enhancement. She recalled the past. Chu once told Lung Yu that with his physical strength, even a blade 100 times sharper striking him at full force wouldn't leave a scratch. Yet, he still asked her to cut him using her small knife. And there it is. Lung Yus knife was able to cut our MC's finger. She apologized, thinking she had hurt him. Chu said it was fine. He
explained that he only wanted to show Her how terrifying her ability truly was. As long as she held a weapon, she always had a chance to win. She had been left speechless. And now, in this moment, Lang Yu understood. As long as the blade remained in her hand, even a god wouldn't be able to take her down easily. Yuko finally realized the truth. Lyu's ability looked like simple weapon enhancement, but it wasn't. It was a rare rule severing ability. It cut through all defenses. Every slash dealt True damage. She slashed the monster's knee. Then she
cut down its arm. But the situation was still dire. The slaughtering horned demon's wounded body was regenerating at a terrifying speed. Chiankan said they would find out whether it could regenerate faster than it could be burned. Flames surged and wrapped around the monster. She kept attacking even as the fire mark spread across her body. The monster shifted its focus and locked onto her. Lung Yu Shouted a warning. Tian tracked its movements closely. The demon raised its arm to strike. She barely escaped, flying away just in time. The blow smashed into the ground, shattering everything in
its path. She landed safely. Smoke rolled across the battlefield from the impact. Her heart skipped when she glanced to the side. The monster's finger was pointed straight at her. She knew if it fired, this would be the end. The monster Lunged at Xianqin. Zeon, barely conscious, saw her falling. In that moment, she thought it was all over. She remembered the time she delivered things to Chew at the most ridiculous hours back then. He told her that if she ever needed a favor, she should just say it. She replied that she had no demands. She just
thought he was nice and she wanted to woo him. He told her that he already had a girlfriend. She said it didn't matter. She added that she would still Woo him even if his private life was a mess. He warned her that he would sue her for slander if she said that again. She asked if he knew what she liked about him. He said he wanted to know so he could change it immediately. She replied that it was because he was a very brave person. He never feared the uncertainty of the future. He shaped the
world into what he wanted. He realized that she seemed to know him well. He asked why someone like him was worth Liking when he was self-centered and had an annoying personality. She answered that this was exactly what she saw and that was where he shined the brightest. It made him think she was stupid. She asked if he had heard the saying that those illuminated by light dream of becoming light themselves. Because she met someone like him, she wanted the power to define her own future, too. There was a time when her father scolded her. She
was the daughter of the Huang Fu family, and they expected her to take over the family business. Yet, she was messing around, making her father lose face before their ancestors and her late mother. He wanted her to simply live as a rich Aerys. She firmly said no. She wanted the world to acknowledge that she had changed it, even if only for a second. She wanted to walk a path different from the one protected for her. She wanted to see what lay on the other side of the mountain. She wanted Him to admit that her life
wasn't worthless. Back to when she was talking to our MC Chu asked what she was trying to say, and she revealed that she didn't want to become his girlfriend, wife, or lover. Chu couldn't understand what she truly wanted. Blushing, she admitted that she wanted to be him. She called him an idiot for not understanding. She didn't want to woo him out of romance. She wanted to become like him and close the distance between them. The closer She drew to the sun, the brighter she shined. And now she could finally dream of possessing that blinding light
herself. Earlier on the battlefield, Yuko informed her that she had awakened life link, an ability that transfers damage from others to herself, and she warned her never to use it because it would kill her. In the present moment, she thought about how she now had the power to shine brilliantly, even if only for an instant. She activated life link on Chian. A green light wrapped around Chian's body. That light extended outward, connecting to her. Yuko saw everything. She was shocked that Zeon used her newly awakened ability. Life link transfers the target's damage directly to the
user's body. That meant the effect of the slaughtering horned demon's finger of death would be transferred to Zeon. The monster fired. The attack struck Chengyan, But the one who was injured was Zean. Blood spilled from her mouth. Her right chest burst open, bleeding heavily. As she fell, she thought about how she was once illuminated by the light and how she wanted to become that light, too. Her father called out her name. The link disappeared. As her consciousness faded, she felt relieved. She had shown her light for the first and last time. This sight broke heart.
She activated Ignite. She formed a massive fireball as if she Were holding the sun itself. She wanted to annihilate the monster. All right, that's it for today's story.
