The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 165

[Chapter 36 Monster]

In a border town where the Codex Country and the Amestrian Federation intersect.

The billowing smoke enveloped the entire town, and blood and fire became the most common background.

In this apocalyptic town, a blond woman stood on a street as if nothing had happened. Around her, there were corpses lying on the ground, exploding cars, and dilapidated buildings, which were in sharp contrast to the woman’s indifferent expression.

Beside the woman, there was a young man with black hair sitting cross-legged. The young man has a delicate face and looks extremely handsome, giving people the feeling of stepping out of a painting. But at this time, the young man frowned, with a look of pain on his face from time to time, and he didn’t know what he was doing.

At this moment, a group of weirdos appeared in the distance. They were expressionless, powerful, and running like fierce horses. When they saw the standing blond woman and the black-haired young man sitting cross-legged, their eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light. , roared and rushed over.

Hearing this voice, the young man still sat cross-legged and didn’t pay attention at all. The blond woman just gave the strange people a slight sideways glance, and then she stretched out a finger.

As soon as he pointed out, the tyrannical thoughts rushed towards the attacking monsters with overwhelming force. Those monsters were all very powerful, and four or five of them could attack head-on, and could even knock over a car.

All the way through the town, he had crashed and killed without ever encountering an opponent, but this time he was struck by the woman’s thought energy, and he was torn apart like a toy by the violent thought energy.

With one finger, dozens of weirdos were killed.

The blond woman gently raised her hand again, and from each weirdo’s head, spiritual fire that was invisible to the naked eye floated out.

The woman said to the black-haired young man sitting cross-legged: “Zhenhai, can you still accept it?”

Shang Zhenhai shook his head: “No, leader, we have reached the limit. If we absorb it again, I am afraid that I will go insane.” Die.”

The woman who was called the leader of the alliance by Shang Zhenhai nodded, and then she sucked all the spiritual fires into her mouth, like a long whale sucking water. In just a few seconds, those dozens of spiritual fires were All were sucked clean by the woman.

The young man on the side looked envious for a while, but he knew that this kind of spiritual fire not only contained the soul power of the deceased, but also possessed countless memories and consciousnesses. Once the absorber’s will is not firm enough, the power is not strong enough, and the absorbed spiritual fire is too Too much is not enough to suppress the complicated consciousness, and the absorber himself will become mentally disturbed.

After absorbing dozens of spiritual fires, the woman known as the alliance leader, the Queen of Star Alliance, asked again: “Zhenhai, how long do you have to digest it?” “Leader, there are about four or five

hours left.” Shang Zhenhai made an estimate: “After this absorption, I should be able to reach the fourth level. The upgrade speed is too fast.” “

It takes too long, it’s too late.” The blond woman frowned and shook her head. Shaking his head, he said: “The source of infection escaped into Codex Country two hours ago. We can’t be too far away from him, otherwise once he recovers, it will be very troublesome even for me to deal with him.” Shang Zhenhai nodded solemnly

. The so-called source of infection is the main culprit causing cannibalism in the Amest Federation. According to the investigation, it is suspected that he is an Amestrian who suddenly awakened his abilities on the west coast.

He has a very special ability, being able to emit and spread a virus from his body. This virus can only infect ordinary people, and after being infected, ordinary people will lose their minds, become extremely powerful, as fast as a galloping horse, and fearless of death.

Because ordinary people who are infected will have a strong desire for cannibalism, the Imaginary Number Agency calls this infectious disease cannibalism. The infected people are called monsters.

The most terrifying thing about cannibalism is that ordinary people bitten by monsters can also be infected with the virus and become the next monster.

Originally, after discovering this virus, the Imaginary Number Agency directly cooperated with the army to wipe out all human monsters at once. In fact, what they did at first was very smooth. After all, although human monsters are highly contagious, their combat effectiveness is not high. With powerful imaginary machine-powered users and the army’s advanced weapons, it is easy to destroy them.

But the whole thing took a turn for the worse after a discovery. An esper from the Imaginary Number Agency accidentally discovered the esper who spread the virus. Before discovering the ability user, everyone thought it was just a sudden outbreak of a virus. No one thought that it was actually caused by abilities.

When this person with the ability to spread the virus was discovered, the other party was creating new monsters.

What follows is a series of chases and searches. But the more they came into contact with this ability user, the more surprised the people at the Imaginary Number Agency were. They named the target person with abilities X. They discovered that the biggest purpose of X’s ability was not to cause destruction. His real purpose of spreading the virus was to hunt.

x first spreads the virus. After humans are infected with the virus and become human monsters, they will hunt humans crazily. By hunting humans, the monsters will become stronger and stronger. When the human monsters become powerful enough, they will Go back to find x, and x will directly eat the human monster. After eating the human monster, he will absorb the power of the human monster.

This is an unprecedented ferocious ability. In order to prevent X from growing beyond control, the Imaginary Number Agency directly dispatched two level five ability users, the Silver Moon Titan and the Ferocious Tooth Titan, to hunt down X.

But when they arrived, x had grown from the initial third energy level to the fifth energy level. To make matters worse, their actions were stopped by the Covenant. At that time, the Silver Moon Titan directly fought with the Titan, the highest cadre of the Covenant Alliance, who came over.

But until now, the Imaginary Number Agency has not been able to figure out why the Covenant wants to stop them.

What they didn’t know was that for some unknown reason, the Queen of Heaven personally researched the incident of X and human monsters and made a major discovery.

Monsters prey on humans and then sacrifice themselves to x. This seems like a very energy-intensive approach. But after diva’s research, she found that this was far from the truth.

Through the little detection of Tianhou’s fifth-level mental force field, she found that the soul of the infected person would turn into a bit of soul fire. Every time she killed someone, half of the human soul would be absorbed, leaving the rest The second half becomes the soul fire of the new monster. Therefore, the more people the human monster kills, the stronger its power becomes and the stronger the soul fire becomes. When they reach a certain limit of strength, they will return to x and contribute their soul fire.

The power that x uses to absorb growth is this kind of soul fire. The virus of x affects the movement of the soul through the transformation of the body. This ability is simply incredible. The Queen immediately thought of whether ordinary ability users could absorb this kind of soul fire.

She discovered that with the help of mental abilities, users of any ability can absorb these soul fires. Although the efficiency is only about 10% of x, it is also very scary.

This means that they can make themselves stronger by harvesting the human monsters created by x. The Queen’s ability to break through to the sixth energy level is obviously closely related to the emergence of human monsters.

This is also the real reason why they prevent the imaginary number mechanism from destroying x.

But obviously it is very unsafe to allow x to stay in the Amest Federation. What the Covenant does will be suspected by the Imaginary Number Agency.

So next, the Star Alliance and the Imaginary Machine divided into two groups. On the surface, they were chasing X, but in fact they were absorbing the spiritual fire of humans and monsters along the way. However, in order to prevent , drive away, and absorb the spiritual fire from behind.

As for the more than 300,000 civilians who died along the way, that is not what the Covenant cares about.

They even drove X consciously towards Codex Country, which was the weakest among the three powerful countries in the Western Continent.

When Shang Zhenhai thought of this, he thought: ‘Perhaps the entire Codex Kingdom will be sacrificed and become a land of death, and after being used, X will also be arrested, either studied or imprisoned. ‘

At this moment, the queen on the side suddenly said: “Zhenhai, your ability is very potential. Although it has not been announced and listed in the ability sequence, according to my estimation, with the superiority of your ability, you will be ranked in the ability sequence of the field system.” It’s enough to rank in the top five. That’s why I brought you here to quickly improve your abilities.” “I

am deeply grateful for the kindness of the alliance leader.” Shang Zhenhai knelt down.

“Okay, there’s no time. Since you can’t absorb it yet, I’ll absorb it first. Then I’ll go after X.” The Queen reached out and made a move, and the entire town was enveloped by an invisible spiritual force field. Tens of thousands of people seemed to have been hit hard, and were knocked flat by an invisible force at the same time.

Then, tens of thousands of spiritual fires were seen being pulled out directly under the influence of the spiritual force field, and gathered towards the Queen of Heaven like a celestial river.

In just half a minute, tens of thousands of monsters had been wiped out by the Queen’s blow.

After absorbing all the spiritual fire, the Queen said calmly: “Zhenhai, get ready to leave. Next we have to get close to x once. However, this body is too fragile and can only use 30% of my power. You have to be careful next time. But this It is also an opportunity to hone your skills. Energy level is not everything, actual combat is the best alchemy stone.”

At this moment, the communicator on the Queen’s body rang.

After the Queen opened it, a voice came from inside: “Congratulations to the leader for being promoted to the sixth level. From now on, he will dominate the world and be invincible.” “Okay,

Bruman, stop talking nonsense, what’s the matter with you.” The Queen said coldly.

Bluman said flatteringly: “Leader, because you were busy with the affairs of the Amestrian Federation some time ago, my instructions regarding Daxia have not been approved. I heard that the leader has finally been promoted to the sixth level, so it is No…”

“Li Anping of Daxia?” The evaluation report about Li Anping came to the Queen’s mind: “Although the potential is good, it is indeed an eyesore. I sent Yulia and Mamon to help you. After Li Anping disappeared, By the way, you disband the Great Xia Dragon Bird and recruit all ability users above the third level. All other matters will be based on Yulia’s opinion.”

Hearing that his power to dispose of Great Xia had changed hands in the blink of an eye, Bluman He hesitated and said: “…I obey.”

But Shang Zhenhai on the side suddenly interrupted: “Leader, I wonder if I can keep Li Anping alive?”

“Oh?” The Queen seemed to suddenly remember something: “Yes, yours It seems that my father and brother died at the hands of Li Anping? Do you want to take revenge personally?” “

Yes.” Shang Zhenhai asked: “I wonder if the alliance leader can give me this opportunity.” “Okay

, wait until you can Rush over as soon as you reach the fourth level.” The Queen agreed. She still admired Shang Zhenhai very much: “With your ability, the fourth level is enough to deal with him. But when the time comes, you must also use Yulia and Mamon’s abilities to deal with him. Arrangement is the main thing, you can’t mess up on your own.”

“Thank you, leader.” Shang Zhenhai said happily. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

…

At the same time, on the snow in the north of the Eastern Continent, Li Anping was heading in the direction of the Ice Castle. He didn’t know that in the far Western Continent, something closely related to him was gradually developing. Creatures with similar but absolutely different abilities are about to turn the Western Continent upside down, or are in the process of turning it upside down, until it causes a shocking storm that sweeps the world.
