Buzz!
In the North District of Black Harbor City, dark clouds loomed, pressing down like a black mountain over the city.
The moisture within a kilometer radius was being manipulated, shrouding the streets in a drizzling rain.
Helena, perched high above, resembled a rain-controlling deity, gazing down upon the earth. Her clear, sea-blue eyes reflected a defiant figure below.
Boom!!
Crimson flames erupted in a circular burst, unleashing the violent energy of a Legendary-grade heat source.
Wang Cheng's fist sent Flying Shuttles hurtling through the air, shattering them into fragments that pierced the rain-soaked sky.
The Modified Humans forming the blockade around him were struck by the backlash, groaning and spitting blood as their faces paled. The shockwave swept through the rain, instantly vaporizing it into a billowing white mist.
"He's actually capable of this," Helena murmured, her eyes flashing with thought. "It seems the Red Nation's second-stage technology has indeed been stably implemented, not just a fluke."
Witnessing this display, Helena's gaze flickered with realization. The Red Nation's Legendary Technology had long lagged behind the federation's, but now it was rapidly closing the gap.
Clearly, the civilization ruins within the Radiant Light Secret Realm were far more extraordinary than they had imagined.
Boom!!
As these thoughts raced through her mind, another earth-shattering explosion rocked the streets below.
The crimson-hot energy rivaled molten flame, each punch and kick capable of detonating the air, obliterating everything within a kilometer, and demolishing buildings.
Energy cannons fired from floating turrets were intercepted by counter-strikes, their shockwaves effortlessly dispersed by ion shields.
Pillars of flame erupted skyward, and amidst the billowing white mist, federal cyborgs attempting to close the distance were either blasted into the air, their bodies exploding into fragments, or hurled into nearby buildings.
Witnessing this, Wang Cheng clenched his fists, arcs of energy crackling around him as he shielded his subordinates, preparing to fight his way out.
Helena swiftly suppressed her distractions and launched a decisive counterattack.
"Trying to escape?"
Buzz!
The surrounding rain froze mid-air, and silver lightning flashed through the dense storm clouds.
Rainwater particles within a kilometer radius rapidly coalesced, forming serpentine water dragons that coiled around Wang Cheng's limbs and torso, binding him tightly.
Then, the rain shuddered, and the sound of swirling currents filled the air.
The airborne water fully merged, transforming into a colossal jellyfish phantom hundreds of meters in diameter.
An overwhelming sense of pressure descended from the sky, as if the phantom sought to devour all life beneath it.
"Deep Sea Cybele," Wang Cheng muttered, his gaze hardening and his expression turning grave.
This was one of the Legendary-grade Ancient Creatures mentioned in the civilization ruins, and Helena had clearly fused with and mastered many of its abilities.
Buzz!
In the next instant, the jellyfish phantom in mid-air swelled dramatically, extending countless tentacles that sealed off the heavens and earth.
Streams of ultra-high-pressure water rays erupted, transforming into razor-sharp weapons that sliced through everything in their path.
Boom!
A skyscraper was cleaved in two, teetering on the verge of collapse.
The cratered street surface shuddered violently, splitting into a narrow, kilometer-deep fissure. One half of the ground rose and trembled, while the other half sank as if plummeting into the Abyss.
"Murdering a federal Councilor, inciting riots in the city, and sheltering the mastermind behind it all..."
"Do you really think this is your Red Nation?" Helena sneered deliberately, her voice carrying across the district to ensure more people heard the commotion and concealed the truth.
Boom!
A flame pillar roared, and a massive fireball exploded in mid-air.
The ultra-high-pressure water rays were forcibly shattered, their power greatly diminished. Wang Cheng, standing within the fissured crater, his arc-like eyes flashing, looked up with a chilling gaze.
"Twisting truth into lies, framing the innocent..."
"Your federation... truly knows no shame."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The water dragon coiling around his body shattered into mist.
Behind Wang Cheng, a floating turret materialized from liquid metal, transforming into a cannon turret that unleashed a barrage of blazing energy beams.
"Hmph."
Helena smirked coldly, unfazed by his sarcasm. Instead, she raised her five fingers and clenched her fist toward Wang Cheng.
Buzz!!
In an instant, the scattered water mist coalesced into a massive, high-pressure vortex, hundreds of meters in diameter. Its crushing suction force pinned Wang Cheng in place, trapping him immovably.
"In this world, only victory and defeat matter," Helena said, looking down at him. "There's no right or wrong." She pressed her palm down, unleashing the full force of her bio-energy.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The high-pressure vortex tore through everything, carving deep fissures into the earth. The blazing energy beams from the floating turrets were forcibly extinguished, unable to penetrate the vortex's crushing suction. Even Wang Cheng's ion light shield flickered and cracked under the relentless pressure.
"You're a Legendary-grade warrior, a pinnacle of individual power," Helena continued. "Do you really think it's childish to talk about right and wrong with me?"
Boom!!
The ground collapsed, forming a deep crater. Helena watched Wang Cheng, trapped by the vortex's force and sinking into the earth, unable to break free. Her gaze was mocking, her expression utterly cold.
She knew that capturing this Legendary-grade Flying General would force the Red Nation to concede, and might even reveal insights into the technological differences of the Radiant Light Secret Realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the high-pressure vortex's power intensified to a terrifying degree, its relentless tearing force slicing through everything in its path.
Like a rapidly spinning drill, it relentlessly pressed Wang Cheng downward, as if trying to sink it into the Earth's core.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Rainwater evaporated into mist, and the entire district fell silent, save for the piercing sounds of rotation and friction.
Countless skyscrapers collapsed, sending water cascading across the sky.
Bystanders scrambled for safety, their faces etched with shock and terror. The members of the federation action bureau, having retreated to a safe distance, watched with cold eyes as the final act of the drama unfolded.
Buzz!
Helena's gaze sharpened, her fingers clenching into a fist.
The colossal phantom of the deep sea cybele reappeared, its streams of ultra-high-pressure water converging into a single, razor-sharp beam.
"It's over," Helena declared, her eyes icy as she unleashed her final killing intent.
The ultra-high-pressure water beam descended like divine wrath, piercing through all matter with terrifying force. Its destructive power surpassed even that of some blazing energy beams, concentrating all its destructive force into a single point.
Whoosh!
The deafening sonic boom followed a split-second later. A visible line of water sliced through the sky and earth, plunging into the vortex's center.
A thousand meters, a hundred meters, ten meters...
The distance closed rapidly. Helena watched impassively as the water line pierced the heart of Wang Cheng.
"Even if you're a second-stage legendary," she murmured, "taking this strike will..."
Boom!!
A deafening explosion shook heaven and earth.
Three scarlet-gold pillars of light suddenly erupted from the distant horizon, piercing the sky and anchoring themselves to the earth.
The cloud layer blazed crimson, as if ignited.
A colossal, kilometer-tall volcano materialized in the heavens, its fiery sea engulfing all beneath it, its overwhelming power suppressing everything in its path.
"This—?!"
Helena's pupils constricted, her mind reeling as if she had heard a tormented howl.
The shockwaves from the blast swept outward, shaking skyscrapers like swaying trees. The very earth beneath Black Harbor City trembled and resonated with the force.
Boom!!
Seizing the moment, a furious roar erupted from the swirling chasm in the ground. A crimson flame pillar shot skyward, shattering the high-pressure water line.
Thud!!
The ground shuddered as Wang Cheng leaped free of the pit, landing firmly on his feet.
Crimson arcs of energy crackled around him. Behind him, floating turrets coalesced into new metallic wings, while liquid metal rapidly manifested into a massive, armored body.
Crimson Flames erupted from his limbs as he glanced at the distant scarlet-gold pillars, the volcanic inferno.
Is this his full power?
A flicker of realization crossed his eyes, recalling the entrustment and conversation before the plan began.
Wang Cheng completely suppressed his worries and gazed up at Helena in the sky.
"It seems your plan has failed."
"And now..."
Crack! Crack!
The metallic components within his body reconfigured into new bones. His eyes turned icy as flames erupted from his feet, propelling him skyward like a rocket. He shot toward them with a thunderous punch!
"It's time to settle our accounts!"
Boom! Boom!!
Scarlet Gold pillars of light ignited everything, vaporizing the air and incinerating all in their path.
The divine power of the Pinnacle of Speed combined perfectly with the Thunderclap Art. The burning flame pillars exploded with extraordinary force, and as Chen Feng's punch struck, they instantly engulfed the bodies of the three legendary figures.
"No!!"
A deep, scorched crater appeared in the asphalt road, molten lava flowing like a river straight to the earth's core.
Andrei's furious roar echoed through the air as his backup body shattered once more.
Simultaneously, his intangible consciousness was struck by the Wrath of the Storm, obliterating a portion of his Source Consciousness and driving him to the brink of madness, stripping him of his self.
"Aaaah!!"
At the same moment, the rooftop of a nearby skyscraper melted and vaporized into ash.
Velatu's body, which had stood like a cannon turret, crumbled into molten slag, emitting a piercing, wolf-like howl.
The immortal primal consciousness was also struck by the Mental Shock, once again experiencing the tearing pain it had suffered in the Red Nation.
It felt like a severed limb, flesh torn and mangled.
But this was even more devastating to the mind, instantly freezing his three backup bodies, halting their Blazing Energy bombardment, and leaving them momentarily paralyzed.
Boom!!
The explosion reverberated endlessly. Farrell, who had been hovering on the opposite side of the battlefield, was sent hurtling backward, crashing through skyscrapers and slamming into the ground.
The Rainbow Light Shuttle melted and disintegrated, its ion light shield evaporating into nothingness.
Bloodstained and critically wounded, Farrell lay sprawled in a deep crater amidst rubble, his vision obscured by the dust and smoke from the collapsed buildings.
"Cough... cough..."
He spat out blood mixed with chunks of shattered organs.
His brown eyes were bloodshot, his face deathly pale as he stared at the black-clad figure floating in the distance, all traces of his clones now vanished.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Overwhelmed by the terror of impending death, he tried to push himself up.
But.
His mental commands received no response. Instinctively, he glanced down.
His lower half, from the waist down, was gone. Crimson blood stained the earth, seeping into the cracks like an eerie, blooming flower.
His pupils constricted, and he finally felt a searing, bone-deep pain.
Even with the automatic injections of painkillers and Life Elixir, the relentless agony remained undiminished.
"Such a fragile body," Chen Feng sneered, his figure rising from the ground like a celestial being hovering in mid-air, looking down at Farrell.
The skyscrapers and ground below were rapidly melting. He knew the weaknesses of these Modified Humans all too well.
Despite their genetic enhancements, they could never match the true resilience of rainbow iron.
Once stripped of the Flying Shuttle's protection, they were left fatally vulnerable.
"Cough, cough..."
Farrell shuddered at the words, spitting out another clot of blood.
Tearing pain surged through his internal organs. He opened his mouth, trying to speak.
But Chen Feng ignored him completely, instead unleashing a thunderous punch with his right arm, aimed straight at the heavens.
ROAR!!!
The Flame Tiger reappeared, leaping toward the sky.
The lifelike, hundred-meter-tall phantom split into three ferocious entities, each named Kuangran, tearing through the skyscrapers with majestic, vertical pupils that seemed to pierce through everything.
In an instant:
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Velatu's three backup bodies simultaneously exploded, leaving only scattered fragments of debris and components swirling in the Force, crashing down near the edge of the crater where Farrell lay.
"Aaaah!!!"
The agonizing scream tore through the air again, piercing eardrums.
In the distance, the federation soldiers had already turned pale, their faces etched with shock and terror.
Farrell, standing closest, felt his pupils dilate as he detected a hint of fear in Velatu's voice.
"I hadn't even come looking for you yet, and here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep."
Chen Feng's voice was low and cold, sharp as a blade.
Behind him, the hundred-meter-tall phantom of the Flame Tiger loomed, as Chen Feng gazed down at Velatu's mangled, remaining head.
The black metal had shattered and melted, and one of the eyeballs within the fiberglass casing was missing.
The sensation of fear amplified infinitely within Chen Feng's Perception, confirming his suspicions.
"You dared to fully manifest your entire consciousness here..."
"Your arrogance is truly foolish."
Thud!
As his words landed, Chen Feng dropped to the ground, his foot crushing the mangled metal head.
The Wrath of the Storm had already swept outward, combining with the sky vault's mental projection to blockade the surrounding space, trapping Velatu's Source Consciousness within.
"No!!"
Velatu roared in fury, completely unprepared for this outcome.
Three second-tier legendary figures, each wielding a backup body, had pushed their blazing energy weapons to their absolute limits.
Yet this overwhelming force was met with a counterattack?
"You can't kill me!"
"As long as you remain in the Red Nation, the Roth Family..."
Boom!!
A foot slammed down, and the shattered black metal head exploded violently.
All threatening voices ceased abruptly, and the Source Consciousness trapped within was annihilated by the storm.
Farrell's face twisted in horror, while Andrei's hidden consciousness desperately tried to flee.
Chen Feng remained unhurried, narrowing his eyes as he cast a cold, sweeping gaze toward a specific direction in Black Harbor City.
Velatu's feigned terror had likely concealed a hidden seed, buried deep within the Deep Sea.
Just moments ago, Chen Feng had sensed a faint connection.
It was clear: the Roth Family's true base must lie in that direction.
"A pity."
His expression remained impassive as Chen Feng unleashed the Wrath of the Storm once more.
This innate talent had already been enhanced through passive improvements, the Blessing of the Gods' expansion of his mind, and the amplification of his spiritual power.
"No matter how you disguise yourself," Chen Feng thought, "you're destined for a dead end."
Buzz!
The Wrath of the Storm erupted like a tsunami, shaking the air.
All consciousness was utterly annihilated. The subtle connection was now being relentlessly pursued through the residual ripples of mental energy, racing along the fading psychic trails.
Without looking back, Chen Feng already knew the outcome.
He shifted his gaze downward, surveying the scene below.
"You—" Farrell began, but the air suddenly trembled.
Boom!!!
The world twisted, and the earth shook violently.
Though Chen Feng stood motionless, a Scarlet Gold volcano materialized above him.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The ground beneath Black Harbor City buckled further, the air crackling with a sour, grating sound as an overwhelming gravitational force crushed the world.
In the distance, fleeing figures collapsed to their knees, their faces contorted with fury, humiliation, and fear.
It was Andrei, revealed to be hiding in the shadows within his last backup body.
"Did I tell you to leave?" Chen Feng asked coldly.
