Chapter 1049 - 536: Secret Void Rift, Another Epoch-Making Black Technology

After going through the battle just now and personally witnessing the Dragon Abyss Mark and Taiyue Mark whose terrifying power was bug-like, Guo Nan Nan felt as if some mysterious "switch" had been flipped.

Whether it was tactical skill or battle rhythm, they underwent a complete, reborn transformation in an instant.

It only took ten seconds for him to easily kill the last fleeing Superpower User.

The process was very simple: he threw out a seed, urged it to grow into a vine-made decoy, and blocked the opponent’s path, its life aura exactly the same as his true body.

This Independent Army fighter had already become as skittish as a startled bird; seeing this, he mistook the decoy for the real body, fully triggered his Superpower, waving his left hand to shoot out a blast of freezing air while his right hand condensed a Cold Ice Shield.

"Bang!"

The decoy was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, then shattered into pieces.

Only then did the Superpower User realize he’d been tricked, and hurriedly turned around to prepare to defend against the attack.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Whoosh!"

A black Short Spear flashed over and struck this Independent Army fighter in the back.

This was precisely the Blackgold Wood Sword whose form instantly changed under the effect of the Longevity Star Formation, transforming from a sword into a spear.

The Superpower User had originally been wearing a suit of Metal Armor, seemingly forged from First level Exotic Material.

But that simply couldn’t stop Second level Exotic Material.

Blackgold Wood possessed a unique Attribute that could trigger internal vibrations within materials, greatly reducing their defense.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud Burst.

The Armor was directly pierced through; the spear tip punctured his heart, and the Power within burst out, blowing his heart into a pile of minced meat.

One could clearly see a huge spray of blood mixed with chunks of flesh shooting out from the Superpower User’s chest, leaving a shocking bloodstain on the ground.

Starlight flickered once.

Wen Zehan did not stint on praise: "That strike just now was beautiful."

Guo Nan Nan watched the corpse fall forward, his heart surprisingly calm: "I’ve been pondering ’sword-spear conversion’ for a long time, but every time it always took me a few minutes to succeed. Just now I suddenly grasped the knack of it and completed the conversion in an instant."

Wen Zehan let out a "mm": "A sharpened sword comes from grinding; battle is the ’whetstone’ that hones the sword."

This was something Yang Fan had once said when guiding the Jiuzhou Legion’s Superpower Users, and now it was regarded as a golden rule by Superpower Users all over the world.

Guo Nan Nan put away the spear and shield, and said, "I feel like Mr. Ghost must have seen that I’d hit a bottleneck, which is why he gifted me the Dragon Abyss Mark and Taiyue Mark, to encourage me to find my own path in battle."

He felt a kind of admiration so deep it made him want to prostrate himself: "That big shot’s eye for people is insane."

Wen Zehan felt a bit envious as he listened.

The Satellite Star Formation was a purely auxiliary Star Formation; his chances of ever going to the front lines in this life were less than one in ten thousand, so he couldn’t experience that feeling of "seeking the Way in battle."

Guo Nan Nan quickly walked over to the large patch of meat slurry left by the Mutant Beast that had been killed by Sword Qi earlier, his face full of shock: "These things are too terrifying. If they enter Canglan Star in large numbers, this world is done for."

The Spiritual Brain Beast could actually replace a human’s head and disguise itself flawlessly; this scene had left an extremely deep impression on him.

Wen Zehan laughed: "Those two big shots have their eyes locked tightly on Atina. They absolutely won’t let something like that happen."

Guo Nan Nan couldn’t help sighing: "Standing where I was before, I had no idea how many dangers Canglan Star was facing. Now that I’ve learned more, I finally know just how hard those two big shots have been working."

Wen Zehan encouraged him: "Which is why people like us must also strive forward. We can’t always leave everything for them to worry about."

Guo Nan Nan nodded heavily: "Yeah."

Very soon.

The hotel was sealed off by the Great Xia Military.

According to the agreement signed between Great Xia and Atina, Great Xia possessed a certain degree of law enforcement authority within Atina’s borders.

As long as Great Xia deemed it necessary, they could, without notifying the Atina authorities, carry out measures including lockdowns, arrests, and attacks.

Before the Age of Calamity, this would have been utterly inconceivable.

But now, all the countries of the world were craving Great Xia’s protection, and the Atina People couldn’t wait for Great Xia People to do exactly this.

On the other hand.

It was precisely because incidents like this were happening more and more often that Great Xia’s status kept rising, and Great Xia People were gradually being regarded as an upper class.

Before long.

A senior Atina official named Wright carefully made his way into the underground parking garage.

According to the agreement between both sides, in order to safeguard their own rights, the Atina authorities had the right to know about and participate in any action Great Xia took.

Wright had come here precisely to fulfill that responsibility.

Seeing corpse after corpse, each with a gruesome cause of death, and then seeing the Mutant Beast that had turned into meat paste, his face had already gone pale as he struggled not to vomit.

When a Great Xia Army officer played the video of "a Spiritual Brain Beast leaving a human torso and flying up," Wright finally couldn’t hold back and retched loudly.

The officer said kindly, "Mr. Wright, these monsters really do push human understanding too far. You can step outside first."

Wright forcefully suppressed his urge to vomit and nodded repeatedly, leaving behind a "thank you for your hard work" before fleeing as if for his life.

At first, this senior official hadn’t really understood why Atina had signed such a "humiliating and sovereignty-surrendering" treaty with Great Xia.

Now Wright understood completely.

From the bottom of his heart, he believed that with Atina’s strength, they absolutely had no ability to deal with such terrifying monsters that could disguise themselves as humans.

So not to mention signing a protection agreement with Great Xia—he felt that even if he had to call Great Xia People "dad," he would be willing to say the word.
