Chapter 140: Chapter 56: From the Heart (3k)
On the other side of the battlefield, a violent storm suddenly arose, bolts of lightning pierced through the dazzling golden light, casting flashes of white brilliance.
This was Bai Fa’s strength, the storm and lightning she summoned with the Storm Scepter, an Abnormal Object from the Sun Church Court!
And beside her, the source of that dazzling Sunshine was the Sunshine Sunflower, which should have stayed in the territory but used Bai Yi’s headwear to cross the vast distance and come here!
To perfectly execute this operation, Shang Ji had calculated almost all the available powers within the territory!
The scales had already fulfilled their purpose, establishing the rules at the beginning of the battle that limited the transmission of electronic signals, and were retracted after successful completion to be replaced by the scepter that Bai Fa now held in her hands.
Under Bai Fa’s deliberate control, the lightning in the sky entirely targeted the 5th-rank Superpower User enveloped by the violent winds in the air.
Even though he suppressed the control exerted by the Magic Wand over the storm with the hurricane controlled by his superpowers, Bai Fa quickly changed her approach, no longer attempting to control the storm but instead focusing on controlling the lightning to attack.
Not far away, the Crete Chief Justice, controlled by parasitic influence, immediately cooperated with Bai Fa and decreed a new rule:
"Cease the storm here!"
Since they couldn’t outdo the enemy in controlling the storm, then let’s all give up playing with the storm!
The Insect Swarm had other means, but once the Superpower User got restricted from their main ability, they were left with nothing but a 4th-rank, albeit strong, physical body.
Having lost the ability to control the storm, the previously showboating Superpower User in the air plummeted to the ground, where a Tree-man that had been prepared on the ground caught him in the act.
Although Tree-men only have 3rd-rank limits, strength is their forte!
Facing a Superpower User specializing in Spirit but stripped of their main abilities, the Tree-men’s physical power was almost overwhelmingly crushing!
In an instant, the Tree-men firmly grasped the Superpower User, stretching his limbs into an "X" shape, and mercilessly shoved their vines into his mouth, prying it open forcibly and injecting a mass of white (referring to the Facehugger) with their roots.
Elsewhere, another 5th-rank Superpower User, arriving a step late and seeing the unfavorable turn of events, stopped his steps, ready to flee, but was ambushed by another controlled Transcendent already lying in wait.
The originally solid buildings on the ground tore apart into cement and rocks and even heavy snow blocks that rose into the air, encircling the Superpower User leaping between buildings.
Realizing he could not escape, he immediately activated his power, transforming into a giant ape with fierce flames burning on his body, breaking through the encircling storm of stones.
But the Insect Swarm only needed such a moment of hindrance, and a song weaving through the air shone a dazzling Sun Halo on all allies from the Insect Clan side, granting them a golden aura of enhancement from the Sunflower.
"No transformations allowed here!"
"Quench the flames here!"
Bai Fa had somehow already put away the scepter and took out the slightly corrected scales once more, each with the Grand Judge making their own decree.
Even though it seemed that the flames were an additional power gained after the transformation, to be safe, the Swarm Network promptly concluded to seal it away.
This was possible because of the Insect Clan side’s diverse abilities, being able to ban whatever the opponent used while losing similar abilities themselves, but still having others to maintain combat power!
With extensive experience in dealing with enemies capable of transformation, the Insect Swarm didn’t wait for the Superpower User to recover before the attack engulfed him.
The Grand Judge’s Judgement was like an invisible sledgehammer aiming to smash him into a pulp, and another Transcendent’s controlled rocks became orderly, skewed by Transcendent power into spears, swords, and halberds.
Both forces became more rapid and powerful under the enhancement of the Sun Halo, a fiery golden light emerging in the void, illuminating the Superpower User who was still reverting back to human form.
That light came from the Sunshine Sunflower, which too had its strength limited!
Even without flames, the dazzling golden light still scorched the Superpower User’s not yet completely vanished fur into twisted, charred blackness.
As a rare Superpower User specializing in the physical Constitution and reaching the 5th rank, he wasn’t that easily killed!
But under such focused fire, he was only able to hang on with difficulty, his body pierced by various weapons, an invisible pressure as if squeezing his internal organs out of his abdomen, his eyes bloodshot and bulging, and he was momentarily stalemated.
But soon enough, Bai Fa, who switched back to the Lightning Scepter, supplemented with a few more bolts of lightning, becoming the last straw that broke his resistance.
His Life Force was tenacious; he didn’t die but was completely knocked unconscious.
The Erosion Worm, which came to check and prepare to recycle the corpse, found this out and did not escape the fate of being parasitized either, as the Tree-man that arrived also performed similar operations, injecting a mass of white.
With two 5th-rank Superpower Users defeated one after another, the remaining Superpower Users were also unable to resist the onslaught of the Insect Swarm.
Although the superpower users of this world are significantly stronger than the Transcendents of the same rank inside instances, being powerful not only in Spirit-focused superpowers but also physically reaching the level of Transcendents with a physical orientation.
But under the sweep of the Insect Swarm, with both numbers and power, they were quickly defeated under the dual threat of the Insect Swarm and the weather.
But they were much more fortunate.
The sweeping of the Insect Swarm couldn’t spare many Superpower Users.
Most died on the spot, or were so severely injured that they were beyond saving, spared from being parasitized.
In the end, only about a hundred lightly injured Superpower Users were captured, most of whom were "Number One", meaning that Pumpkin caught them with paralytic thorns.
Now, they were gradually being eroded by the Facehugger while in a daze, transforming into Insect Clan units.
From the commencement of battle to the present moment, merely five minutes had elapsed, and it had already quieted down.
With Fei Wen conducting early Reconnaissance, relying on numbers that even exceeded the total population of the Sanctuary, they even achieved one-on-one tailing, leaving absolutely no possibility for any escape.
Confirming that the battle here had ended, Shang Ji withdrew his gaze and turned towards the other stalemate battlefield.
In that grandiose battle over there, both sides under Commander Hong also realized that the outcome of tonight was no longer within their control.
A battle that witnessed the emergence of at least four 5th-tier powers, with such Combat Power, even without the divided Sanctuary, would have to be taken seriously, not to mention that they had already completely dispersed their forces.
Even Commander Hong began to suspect that the other party might have been feigning weakness the whole time, in fact, plotting against the Sanctuary all along, just waiting for this opportunity to seize the Sanctuary in one fell swoop.
Thinking back to the absolute integration into the territory they initially demanded during today’s bargaining, Commander Hong felt more and more that this was likely.
But those Lords had only been in this world for just over half a month, right?
Where did they get such tremendous strength?
Plus, the "Anonymous" contact earlier also said, among the Lords the strongest was only Tier 2, and even if some had broken through these days, it was impossible to suddenly bring out so many Tier 5 Combat Powers, right?
But now the reality was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it, and he could only start planning the attitude he should take towards Shang Ji afterwards.
His opponent, unaware of the inside information, still thought it was reinforcements summoned by Commander Hong, and now that his invisible allies had all fallen, knew he had no chance left.
Thinking that he might be captured, possibly killed by Commander Hong, even his family might not be spared, his hard-earned foundation and the family’s legacy might be destroyed in one go.
In a fit of rage, he swung his hand!
Surrender!
Pride?
Non-existent!
Since the other party is so powerful.
What’s wrong with being timid?
At least he might still save his own life, as long as he himself had enough value, there would be value in surviving.
Ordering his subordinates to cease fire, he strode forward to the focus of the battle, with a licked face constructing a perfect smile, loudly shouting:
"Commander! Commander Hong! Old Hong!
Let’s stop here, I surrender! I didn’t intend to rebel! It was all pressure from my family!
They all took action and I had to follow, otherwise I would be the next to die, I was forced...
And I am still valuable! As long as you don’t kill me, I know many secrets, some secrets you don’t know!"
Before, Commander Hong was quite pleased when he saw this smile, feeling that everyone was paying him respect, acknowledging his position.
But now how he looked at it, he found it disgusting.
Commander Hong clearly understood his thoughts; likewise, he stepped out from his hiding cover, raising his hand, ready to shoot him dead with the handgun he held.
But the handgun he raised was pressed down by a hand, the arm adorned with very fine clothing, which he had seen once today.
Following the arm, it was none other than Shang Ji, who had disappeared somewhere right after the battle began.
"Oh no, since he still has something to say, let’s hear what he is willing to give for his life?"
Seeing the man emerge from the darkness, stopping Commander Hong, and that Commander Hong actually didn’t dare to retort, with an unnatural expression.
Accompanying the man’s appearance were shadows around him.
And this all pointed to a possibility, that those powerful individuals were not Commander Hong’s people, but those of this man who suddenly appeared!
Even this man, was the true lead tonight, instead of Commander Hong!
That meant, there was hope for him!
Maybe if he could show enough ability and value, he could replace Commander Hong’s position!
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated, took two steps forward, and kneeled on the ground with a slap.
"This, this...
Sir! My name is Tan Shidao, I, I still have value, please spare me!"
