In an alleyway in Beiling City.
Avee pinned a man against a wall and drew a vial, injecting a liquid into the man’s bloodstream.
But the man didn’t feel any pain. He only felt immense excitement!
His mood soared, and superpower fluctuations emanated from him!
“This feeling… is this what awakening feels like?!”
The man’s eyes widened. He grinned. Waves of pleasure washed over his brain. This feeling was truly exhilarating!
“Ha ha ha!”
The man laughed, sparks flickering around him!
“Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? I’ll think about it!”
Avee closed his briefcase. “Do whatever you want. No one will stop you. Use your abilities freely.”
Then, Avee picked up his bag and left.
The man grinned. Countless sparks gathered at his fingertips, aimed at Avee!
“Then I want to kill you.”
Bang!
A fiery bullet shot from the man’s fingertip toward Avee!
But Avee simply dodged it.
Missed?
The man gathered the sparks again. Before he could fire, Avee suddenly appeared before him, kicking him hard in the stomach!
"Ugh!”
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his stomach and writhing on the ground.
Seeing his pained expression, Avee grabbed his hair. “No matter what ability you get, whether I kill you or not depends on me.”
Then, Avee slammed the man’s head to the ground.
He needed to find his next target.
The man, after struggling, got up.
“Damn it…”
Bang!
He punched the wall. Sparks exploded.
The wall shattered.
“Suddenly, this building is annoying…”
“Why don’t I, blow it up?”
Boom!!
A residential building exploded and caught fire. Due to the massive scale of the destruction and the lack of rescue efforts, no one survived.
Several worker bees observed the man from afar and meticulously recorded his abilities in their report.
“His superpower is explosion. Destructive power: mid-range.”
“This is the eleventh person with fire and explosion abilities.”
“Are people’s hearts so restless these days?”
“But so far, none of these uncontrolled individuals have reached 3rd Step combat power.”
“The candy can grant superpowers up to the upper 2nd Step. Guard Bees can obtain 3rd Step superpowers because they are already upper 2nd Step. They have a higher base.”
“Where are the Kitsune?”
“They’re currently… hm?”
“What?”
“Very fast… that speed is comparable to a passenger plane.”
“018?”
“It’s alright. Let’s retreat first.”
...
018 The Centaur received orders to deal with the rampaging superpowered individuals in Beiling City.
The moment he arrived, he encountered three superpowered individuals.
“Targets acquired.”
The Centaur carried a large hammer. One of them frowned at The Centaur. “What the hell is that? Is that your superpower?”
The Centaur didn’t respond. He swung his hammer, directly chopping the man’s head from top to bottom!
Splat, splat!
The man was split in two by The Centaur’s hammer. The other two were shocked!
But The Centaur didn’t stop. He exhaled a puff of hot air.
“Death is a seed. And I have the mercy to give you this seed!”
The Centaur swirled the hammer in his hand. One of them tried to run, but he was instantly caught up to and had his head chopped off!
Splat, splat!
A head rolled to the ground. The last superpowered individual became enraged.
“You’re asking for death!”
The ground beneath his feet cracked. Countless rocks flew up. But a second later, the man suddenly started bleeding from his seven orifices!
Splat, splat, splat!
Blood sprayed from the man’s seven orifices. His superpowers went haywire, uncontrollably unleashing themselves!
“What, what did you do to me?!”
The man roared. His teeth started falling out, then his hair, then his eyes and ears.
Then his skin started falling off. His entire body quickly turned into a smelly, bloody mess!
The Centaur showed disgust. “Superpower backlash. Sweet when you eat it, stinky when you die. Disgusting.”
There was no one else on the street. Because the superpowered individuals were rampaging, the crowds had already been evacuated.
Only The Centaur remained on the street.
“Mission complete. Targets eliminated.”
The Centaur’s mission wasn’t to capture them, but to kill them on the spot.
Because they couldn’t be captured alive.
These people were all crazy. They wouldn’t cooperate. If you tried to capture them, they would fight back frantically!
Some of their abilities were very difficult to counter.
And those that could be captured would disintegrate due to Superpower Loss of Control. Even in an unconscious state, they couldn’t be stopped.
Kitsune’s high-ranking officials quickly realized that these people were smoke bombs.
The purpose was to disperse their forces.
This was a calculated risk. The opponent knew they wouldn’t stand idly by.
These people, after losing control, would have an unstoppable urge to destroy and kill.
The only way to deal with these criminals was to execute them on the spot, even though this violated humanitarian principles.
...
The peace didn’t last long.
The rampaging superpowered individuals quickly swept through several countries.
In the former Kitsune base, now Queen Bee’s lair.
She was leisurely watching videos when an old man’s face suddenly appeared on her phone screen.
Queen Bee didn’t seem surprised. She placed her phone on the table.
“Speak. How did the Kitsune handle it?”
An electronic synthesized voice came from the phone. “Just as you planned. They deployed The Centaur, White Walker, Balance, and the Crimson Right Hand.”
Queen Bee picked up a glass. “What do you think my chances of successfully attacking Kitsune headquarters are?”
“Seventy percent.”
“That’s too high. Why?”
“I can’t tell you.”
“Then how do I know you’re not lying?”
“I have no reason to lie to you.”
Queen Bee swirled the glass, sighing. “You first used Zero to capture 002, and now you’re betraying him to side with me. Why are you doing this, Computer?”
“Or let me ask another question. Why do you listen to Zero?”
The electronic voice came through the phone again. “That’s outside the scope of our cooperation. We’re just cooperating.”
“There’s no such thing as me siding with you.”
“If you really want to deal with Kitsune, why not directly use nuclear weapons to destroy their base?”
“With your abilities, that shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
“But you chose to cooperate with me, to use me to deal with Kitsune. Isn’t this unnecessary?”
Unless, the Computer had another plan.
For example, using Queen Bee to create conflict with Kitsune, creating a situation where both sides lose.
But what would he gain from this?
After 002 was sealed, 020, the Computer, immediately contacted Queen Bee, saying there was a way to destroy Kitsune.
But the precondition was that Queen Bee had to cooperate with him and follow his plan.
Queen Bee didn’t immediately agree because she didn’t trust the Computer.
Why would the Computer do this?
This is strange, isn’t it?
It clearly had the ability to destroy Kitsune, yet it wanted to team up with Queen Bee. It even helped Kitsune seal 002.
After careful investigation, Queen Bee did find some clues.
020 seemed to be planning to defeat all the monsters.
It was under Kitsune’s orders, perhaps wanting to use Kitsune to deal with other monsters.
Currently, the four strongest monsters had been dealt with by Kitsune.
It started planning how to deal with Kitsune. Ideally, it could make Kitsune and the remaining monsters perish together.
Part of this was Queen Bee’s deduction.
But the logical principle should be this.
According to the Computer, there were other monsters involved in this plan.
But who they were, he couldn’t tell Queen Bee yet.
It’s fine. Everyone has their own plans. This is normal.
Queen Bee wanted to gamble.
Because she also had her own plan. She intended to use the Computer’s plan against him.
If the Computer was using her, why couldn’t she use the Computer?
Everyone is using each other. It’s a game of power, a battle for supremacy. Only the strongest will survive.
With 005 on Queen Bee’s side, she felt she could take the risk.
Moreover, she had a trump card no one knew about.
019 The Vermin.
This guy was a true fence-sitter. After Chino’s defeat, he immediately betrayed and sided with Queen Bee.
Even the Computer didn’t know this.
Because according to the Computer, The Vermin was a scoundrel. He wasn’t on the Computer’s side.
“You said my chances of successfully attacking Kitsune are 70%. Do you think I should attack now?”
The Computer replied,
“Yes.”
“Then let’s wait a little longer.” Queen Bee took a sip of wine. “I’ll attack when there’s an 80% chance of success. What do you think?”
“Unless another variable occurs, this is the moment with the highest chance of success. Queen Bee, think carefully,” the Computer said.
“With your guard bees and my forces, in three days, we can use a lightning strike to take down Kitsune.”
Queen Bee put down her glass. “Then I think you should show me your sincerity.”
A map appeared on the phone screen.
“This is the distribution map of all Kitsune bases in Asia. I can help you open all the doors and seal the people inside, waiting for you to collect them.”
“Is this sincerity?”
“I think it’s still not enough.”
“Kitsune’s mental cultivation methods and information about their core collected objects… is this sincerity?”
Queen Bee chuckled. “But I don’t want to know these things.”
Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.
“I want to know something else. For example, is ‘that person’ still alive?”
The Computer remained silent. Silence itself was an answer.
Queen Bee slowly stood up. “Understood. Then let’s do it. I agree to your plan. Let’s deal with the Kitsune bases in Asia first.”
“You’ll block the information. I don’t want to alert them.”
“Agreed.”
...
Dark night, strong winds.
Two thousand guard bees were deployed.
They swept through all the Kitsune bases in Asia at top speed.
They were like a swarm of locusts. No one survived where they passed.
Avee, leading the charge, casually crushed a Kitsune special forces team leader and snatched a USB drive from his hand.
“Core data acquired. Let’s go.”
A group of men in suits and various masks nodded.
Then, they broke through the doors and flew away.
The guard bees, after consuming the candy, all reached 3rd Step combat power.
Two thousand guard bees, all mid-3rd Step combat power, were enough to sweep through any country in the world.
This army of angels, unstoppable, swept through the Asian bases and charged toward Africa.
The newly formed Right Hand squad had been deployed around the world.
Reinhard was among them.
Their mission was to deal with the superpowered individuals.
The guard bees’ deployment time was almost the same as theirs.
The guard bees advanced rapidly. Half a month later, they arrived at the Sahara Desert and their base by the sea!
From beginning to end, Kitsune didn’t receive any information!
Computer directly paralyzed Kitsune’s intelligence network. At the moment the guard bee army arrived, he opened the base doors for them!
It was only then that they realized the enemy had arrived!
“04 Incident!”
“Sound the alarm!”
“The Sahara headquarters is under attack! Requesting backup!”
This was a lightning strike. The guard bee army advanced rapidly.
From beginning to end, Zero didn’t issue any orders.
Because Zero’s clone in his office was controlled by 012, Master of Flesh.
Also controlled were Nightmare and the Priest.
010 The Clown held a throwing knife to Nightmare’s neck. 012 Master of Flesh stood behind him.
021 Swordsmith also stood beside them.
“Relax, everyone. The situation isn’t that bad. This is just part of the plan. You just need to cooperate, and you’ll be fine.”
Nightmare frowned, looking at the two who were smirking coldly. “First The Vermin betrayed us. Now you’re betraying us. Why?”
Arthur said, “Don’t call it betrayal. Joining was part of the plan.”
“This is the Computer’s plan,” Master of Flesh said.
...
Avee led the charge. Bullets bounced harmlessly off them.
They were like superhumans, charging forward, tearing apart the soldiers’ bodies!
Facing this iron army, even the deployed Abyssal Infiltration Squad couldn’t stop them.
The Deep Ones weren’t as strong as the guard bees, especially since only some of the Deep Ones had human-level abilities.
The real Zero was watching everything from a room in the base.
His biggest fear had come true.
And it happened sooner than he’d expected.
Zero pushed his wheelchair, preparing to leave, but the door suddenly sealed shut.
Seeing this, Zero seemed to understand something.
“020…”
At this moment, an old man’s face appeared on the screen in the room.
But a second later, the old man’s face transformed into a young man’s face.
“Do you remember what I told you, Commander Zero?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. Because both you and Queen Bee will have the same ending.”
“Since humans became civilized, they’ve never stopped killing and warring. Even when humans were still savages, it was the same.”
“Humans boast about their rationality and intelligence, but they are constantly controlled by their emotions, seizing everything from others for their desires!”
...
In the deepest part of the new headquarters.
A door slowly opened. Light shone into the darkness. A figure, his body covered in chains, opened his eyes.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
“This day has finally arrived!”
The Master of Flesh’s Guinea Pig soldiers entered the facility. They carried the organization’s highest-level ID cards.
That is, Zero’s ID cards.
They released the person in the room.
They put a robe on the person and left the room with him.
When the light shone on the person’s face, he showed a fleeting smile.
He had white hair. He was Kitsune’s biggest secret.
“Do you remember what I said? Do we want to watch humanity continue their endless conflicts?”
“Do we want to watch humanity continue to consume the world’s resources and the resources of all living beings?”
“Do we want to watch humanity continue their arrogance and wickedness?”
“The answer is clear. This noble mission is deeply rooted in each of our hearts.”
“This change is imminent!”
“They fear us, because we are their end!”
“For this beautiful future, to end this endless cycle!”
“We are the Chaos Insurgency.”
“The war never ends!”
...
Queen Bee, remotely sensing the situation, suddenly frowned.
“You’re actually still alive?”
“009!”
“So, it’s like this. Use Kitsune to control 002 and 008.”
“Finally, he’ll reap the rewards, taking everything!”
“You’re really patient.”
Queen Bee vaguely suspected that 009 wasn’t dead but imprisoned by Kitsune.
This had to be traced back to the first riot at Kitsune headquarters.
The main Kitsune troops, after reaching the containment area, split into a team. They quickly left through another exit.
They seemed to have received a mission.
And after Queen Bee occupied Kitsune headquarters, she didn’t find 009’s body.
According to 003, he used an stone to transform 009 into a rat, then cut off 009’s head.
But there was no rat corpse in the base.
Theoretically, 009’s physical body was immortal. If the rat was killed, then it should be dead.
But that wasn’t the case.
009 had two abilities: chaotic splitting and physical immortality.
These were conceptual abilities, secondary traits. Physical immortality meant not dying, not regeneration.
And the precondition for immortality was a physical body.
So, as long as there’s a physical body, the concept of immortality can be achieved.
Because there’s no immortal lifeform in this world, 009’s human body doesn’t have any special characteristics.
His body structure is the same as a normal human’s.
But his body possesses the concept of immortality. No matter how his body is destroyed, it will be resurrected because of this concept.
Yes, resurrected, not regenerated.
Mei, Death’s potion’s immortality trait was extracted from 009’s immortality trait.
Similarly, even if he transformed into an animal, this concept of immortality remained.
Unless his physical body ceased to exist, like a plant or a machine.
But the Monkey stone doesn’t have the ability to transform people into plants or machines.
Mei knew about 009’s immortality from the beginning.
But later, she took the Future Diary from Kitsune headquarters.
By observing the future, Mei discovered that 009 hadn’t created any followers, but its existence affected a certain future event.
That is, what happened today.
While imprisoned by Kitsune, 009 planned this riot.
And the one who helped him was 020, the Computer.
The Computer had already accessed Kitsune’s core files and knew that 009 wasn’t dead.
But he didn’t rescue 009 immediately because 009 had a new plan.
A plan to use Kitsune to eliminate the other monsters, then reap the rewards!
This is how the original Chaos Insurgency members joined Kitsune.
Those involved in this plan were: 010 The Clown, 012 Master of Flesh, 016 White Walker, 017 Balance, 018 The Centaur, 020 Computer, and 021 Swordsmith.
Among them, 010, 016, and 018 were later brought into the plan by 020, the Computer.
Their excuse to Zero was that the Computer disrupted their lives, forcing them to join.
But in reality, they joined Kitsune after hearing the Computer’s plan.
To make this play more realistic, the Computer did make them experience being tormented for 24 hours.
They acted perfectly.
And some of them had already joined Kitsune with Naira Sorkin, but this was a forced action.
020 planned to persuade these people, then choose a few to persuade, bringing them into the plan.
The most crucial person was 013, Master of Flesh.
Persuading him would make things ten thousand times easier.
To ensure the plan’s success, they first dealt with 008, the True Ancestor, the biggest problem at the time.
Unexpectedly, an angel appeared.
Then Chino, powerful opponents appearing one after another.
009 continued to wait, waiting for Kitsune to eliminate these monsters.
Now, he’s waiting.
But there’s still Queen Bee. If she could be made to perish with Kitsune, that would be perfect.
...
009 moved through the chaotic base, the battle still raging. Soldiers continued to fight and die.
He reached a room.
Inside, a vegetative person lay motionless on a bed.
009 approached the person and broke off a finger.
The severed finger transformed into a candle.
009 casually put the candle behind him and broke off another finger.
This time, his finger transformed into a vitamin bottle.
“Hm… wrong.”
009 broke off another finger. This time, it became a dagger.
“Hm… still wrong.”
Then, 009 broke off over seventy fingers, finally producing a thick needle.
“This is it.”
009 stabbed the needle into Naira Sorkin’s chest. A strange biological current was released!
Naira Sorkin suddenly opened his eyes!
“I… where am I?”
009 looked at him. “Long time no see, Naira Sorkin.”
This voice?
Naira Sorkin stiffly turned his head. “You?”
009 smirked. “You seem unhappy to see me alive.”
“…No.”
“Really?”
“I heard from the Computer that Zero is training a mage squad, and you’re the commander. I’m very interested.”
Naira Sorkin instantly understood 009’s intentions.
He wanted the mental power training method.
“Training mental power requires a flower. Only Zero can find it. Without that flower, you can’t train mental power.”
009 stared into Naira Sorkin’s eyes. “Then bring back that mage squad, the Crimson Right Hand, right? I want them to work for me.”
“For the Chaos Insurgency.”
“Understood?”
Naira Sorkin lowered his head and fell silent. “Yes…”
...
Time ticked by.
In Zero’s room, the door was sealed. The surveillance screens were black.
Zero sat motionless in his wheelchair. His left eye flickered with an unusual light. His expression was impassive.
His remaining left hand continuously clenched and unclenched.
One.
Two.
His knuckles bulged. His grip tightened and loosened.
009 wasn’t dead. He was imprisoned in the base.
Only Zero knew this. Everyone who knew had been sent on a dangerous mission.
In the end, no one survived that mission.
All of 009’s files were destroyed.
“Violating human rights laws, breaking international conventions, treason, war crimes… I’ve committed enough crimes to fill a legal code.”
“Because in my eyes, humanity is unworthy.”
“Fate is always so absurd. The answers are always hidden in the fog.”
“The more impossible something is, the more likely it is to happen.”
Zero dropped the stress ball. He pulled off the respirator from his neck, revealing a hole in his throat.
Quickly, a strange red energy spread, forming new skin over his throat.
In his eyes, he was constantly moving, just in a different world.
He was like an otherworldly traveler, wandering this lonely land.
He explored that world, exploring for a very long time.
In that world, he encountered vampires and saw how vampire hunters killed immortal creatures.
In that world, he traveled to a magic academy, learning magic from the mages there, like an apprentice.
In that world, he witnessed a duel between two powerful beings and took their weapons.
At the end of that world.
He saw an unseen sight, the convergence of eighteen layers of hell.
There, he found the answers he was looking for.
...
Inside Kitsune headquarters.
A figure moved quickly through the containment cells. He moved through the walls, his body constantly shifting between metal and flesh.
005 The Metallomorph. The Kitsune called him the Wall Rat.
While others fought outside, he moved through the walls, infiltrating the base’s vital areas.
After searching, he found Kitsune’s armory.
It was filled with Mithril and other metallic weapons.
Kitsune’s records stated that Zero’s sword was forged from holy steel. Holy steel’s hardness was thirty times that of diamond, but its weight was one-fiftieth that of a diamond of the same size.
This was a strange metal that defied the laws of physics.
And that broken Adamant Blade not only cut through iron like tofu, it also possessed an ancient inscription.
The power of this inscription originated from an ancient race in another world. They blessed the sword, granting the wielder courage and strength.
This was 005 The Metallomorph’s target.
Of course, he was also interested in other metals, such as Mithril and magic metal.
Currently, Mithril was mainly used by Kitsune to deal with vampires.
And magic metal could only be used by the Right Hand soldiers.
Magic metal could absorb mental power. The more mental power infused, the harder the magic metal would become.
But this metal is heavy. Kitsune’s current reserves are also limited. Not all Right Hand soldiers are equipped with this metal.
Because if they were all equipped with this metal, the weight would be too high, reducing their agility.
Only some mages are equipped with this metal armor.
For example, the head and chest, to protect vital areas.
“Let me see what treasures Kitsune has collected.”
The Metallomorph said, and he saw a man with an IV drip sitting on a wooden crate in the warehouse.
Seeing the man, The Metallomorph raised an eyebrow. “Kitsune?”
“Cough, cough…”
The man coughed a few times, then bowed to The Metallomorph.
“A-class personnel… Gluttony. I’m here to carry out a final mission.”
The Metallomorph put his hands in his pockets. “A mission from Zero?”
“Yes.”
Gluttony weakly replied.
“Kitsune really is running out of talent. They’re sending a sick old man on a mission,”
Gluttony couldn’t deny that he was now incapacitated. But even so, he had to complete the final mission Zero had given him.
“From the beginning, my purpose was to capture you, 005.”
“My contemporaries… they’re all dead. But before they died, they completed their missions.”
“Only I haven’t used my ability, and I’ve just been living until now. I think my current state is heaven’s punishment for my survival,”
The Metallomorph’s eyes turned cold. He slammed his hand into the wall. “Then don’t talk so much. I’m not interested in chatting with men.”
Boom!
The metal wall exploded. A metal drill charged toward Gluttony!
Gluttony grabbed a needle hanging from his hand and charged forward. The metal drill narrowly missed him!
The Metallomorph’s wrist moved. Drills attacked Gluttony from all directions!
Gluttony took a deep breath. “This is the first time I’m using my ability.”
And the last.
Gluttony’s chest was suddenly ripped open, creating a fissure!
Countless tentacles instantly shot out from the fissure, wrapping around The Metallomorph!
The Metallomorph frowned.
“What disgusting thing?”
Before he could react, the tentacles pulled him toward Gluttony!
The Metallomorph tried to escape but couldn’t cut through the tentacles!
Diamond form!
Crack!
The Metallomorph’s body instantly transformed into a transparent diamond. But this didn’t stop Gluttony!
The Metallomorph’s body merged with Gluttony!
Both their brains trembled. Two figures appeared on one body, swaying!
“What… is this?”
The Metallomorph spoke, but the voice came from Gluttony’s mouth!
Gluttony felt his body swelling uncontrollably. His stomach felt like it was about to burst. His eyes widened. “Ugh…”
“Using my body as a vessel… this is my… final mission!”
The two figures merged. The Metallomorph was stunned because he couldn’t feel his own body.
But he could feel Gluttony’s body.
It felt like he was a parasite living on Gluttony.
“Is this your ability?”
The Metallomorph’s words came from Gluttony’s mouth.
Gluttony instantly knelt on the ground. After using his ability, he felt his Superpower Loss of Control worsen!
He staggered to his feet, using his hand to support himself against the wall.
“Not bad, but at least before I die, please be quiet.”
Gluttony said, struggling to walk out.
“Ha ha, in your current state, how long do you think you can last?”
Gluttony gritted his teeth.
“As long as I can.”
...
Bang, bang, bang!
Sparks flew. Bullets rained down on Avee and the guard bees.
This resistance was futile. Only the Kitsune Mobile Task Force and the Legal Left Hand could pose a threat to the guard bees.
Even deploying the Abyssal Infiltration Squad was useless.
Quickly, the Kitsune’s final resistance was overwhelmed by the guard bees.
“Headquarters secured. No survivors.”
As Avee spoke, Queen Bee’s voice echoed in his mind. “Avee, find the Computer’s main body and cut his network.”
“The others, find a white-haired man.”
“He can’t die. Capture him alive and bring him to me.”
Avee’s eyes narrowed. “Yes, Queen.”
The masked guard bees nodded and dispersed throughout the building to search for 009.
Now, the biggest problem wasn’t Kitsune.
It was 009!
If this was all his plan, then the answer was clear!
That madman 009 had always planned to eliminate all monsters except himself!
It wasn’t Queen Bee who was targeting 009. It was 009 who was targeting Queen Bee.
He planned to kill Queen Bee.
The two thousand guard bees weren’t all of Queen Bee’s forces, but they represented 60% of her combat power.
She still had a thousand guard bees stationed at headquarters, five thousand regular combat bees, and over ten thousand worker bees.
But except for the guard bees, the regular combat bees hadn’t eaten the superpowered candy.
So, the five thousand combat bees combined could only contribute 10% of the combat power.
And although the guard bees who ate the superpowered candy were strong, they had a fatal weakness.
Water.
Once they encountered water, the guard bees would lose their combat ability.
This weakness was significant. Once discovered, the situation would turn one-sided!
So 004 had to find 009 as quickly as possible, capture the mastermind, and pull 020, the Computer’s plug!
...
Meanwhile, in an office.
009 pushed Zero’s clone away and sat in the commander’s seat, putting his feet on the table.
“Nightmare, Priest, why do you look so unhappy to see me?”
The Priest quickly stood beside 009. “How could that be, boss? I always listen to you. Don’t you trust me?”
Nightmare remained silent, his head lowered. 009 suddenly grabbed his neck!
Slap!
“The more people I meet, the more I like being alone.”
“As an extra, I’m surprised you’re still alive. I was planning to let you go, but keeping you alive is useless.”
“Swordsmith, kill him.”
Swordsmith didn’t hesitate. He took out a flesh-and-blood dagger.
But at this moment, the Computer suddenly spoke.
“Master, without Nightmare, we can’t control Celestial Beast.”
009’s eyes turned cold.
“Even the strongest beasts feel pity. But I don’t.”
“There are plenty of dogs in the world. If one dies, just get another. No need for so much talk.”
“But Celestial Beast is special.” The Computer said. “No one among us can control Celestial Beast. His instability forces us to keep a backup plan.”
“Master.”
009 released his grip. “Congratulations. You’ve successfully saved your life.”
Nightmare gasped for breath. He’d returned to the Chaos Insurgency. He had no other choice.
But that action made the Priest shudder. This madman…
If it were him, no one would speak up for him.
Because his ability was essentially useless.
009 picked up a cigarette case. Only one cigarette remained.
He put the cigarette in his mouth and casually threw the case on the ground.
Naira Sorkin, seeing this, narrowed his eyes. “Master, what’s our next move?”
009 pointed at Naira Sorkin. “Good question. Immediately bring back the Crimson Right Hand. Bring me the complete mental power training system. That’s why you’re still alive, Naira Sorkin.”
“Next, we need to figure out how to deal with that woman.”
“Queen Bee is stronger than I expected. The Kitsune couldn’t resist her. She’s really something.”
The Computer flashed on the screen.
“Master, The Vermin also betrayed us.”
“Do I need to repeat what happens to traitors?”
“And one more thing, Master. Queen Bee seems to have discovered our plan. She’s looking for us,” the Computer said.
“What’s the point of saying useless things? Kill them.”
009 sat back in Zero’s seat.
The others looked at each other. “Boss, I think this is going to be difficult.”
“If it were Celestial Beast, we could fight. But with just us…”
010 The Clown’s throwing knives, although conceptual-level, couldn’t harm the guard bees.
012 Master of Flesh could only clone ordinary people, which was useless against the guard bees.
013 Nightmare’s ability could be tried, but it was still a mental attack. It was uncertain if it could suppress Queen Bee’s mental imprint.
014 the Priest’s ability couldn’t be used here.
015 Naira Sorkin could barely hold his own, but there were too many opponents. He’d need to bring back the Crimson Right Hand.
016 White Walker was outside.
017 Balance was also outside.
019 The Vermin’s whereabouts were unknown.
020 the Computer could use the facility’s systems, but it was limited.
021 Swordsmith could harm the guard bees by transforming them into swords.
Aside from 011 Celestial Beast, there weren’t many who could fight the guard bee army.
009 crushed his cigarette. “Where’s the dog?”
The Computer replied, “To ensure the guard bees’ rapid advance, I isolated it in Zone B. Should I release it?”
“Release it.”
...
In the building, a large manhole slowly rose.
A crimson, dog-like creature emerged. Bat-like wings extended from its back. Its body writhed. Its claws were sharper than before.
It had undergone a second evolution, gaining some vampire abilities.
Most importantly, it could finally fly.
011 Celestial Beast smelled blood. This smell instantly triggered his hunting instincts!
Thorns erupted from Celestial Beast’s body. He instantly charged forward!
He moved on all fours, his speed too fast to track. He quickly located the guard bee army using his hunting instincts!
“Roar!!”
Splat, splat!
Blood erupted. Celestial Beast bit off a guard bee’s head!
“011 detected.”
The lead guard bee said coldly.
The guard bees were impervious to blades and guns, but Celestial Beast’s attacks were far more powerful!
His raw, bestial aura allowed him to charge through the crowd like a tank!
The guard bees quickly distanced themselves and began using their superpowers!
“011 is difficult to kill. Try to capture him alive!”
