Kenz's Strength

Inside the top 3 spaceship, a blond boy silently stared at the projection on his wristwatch. In the projection, besides the port location, there were several other projections of the banquet scene, taken from different angles.

In one of the projections, the blond boy saw a familiar figure—a black-haired boy. A slight smile played on his lips. "You've grown taller and stronger. However, given the setup I've made, no one can escape being sent to the Federal Prison, not even you, Gu Ding..."

Although Kenz was no longer present at the banquet, the banquet continued.

Actually, it wasn't just Gu Ding and his group who discovered the top 3; there were quite a few other strong individuals as well.

Tanya had noticed it early on, but she didn't panic. She believed that no matter what happened, Kenz would handle it.

"Gu Ding, we're being monitored, and the cameras are from those mercenaries. The signal is being transmitted directly to the port. If I'm not mistaken, Elliot and his mercenaries are probably hired by the Federal Government to scout ahead, to find out who's at this banquet so they can see if any particularly troublesome individuals have appeared. If so, they can adjust their policies accordingly." Sea Emperor quickly realized the Federal Government was spying on them. "And this time, it's not just the regular members of the top three who are here."

"If I'm not mistaken, Reed should be here too, right?" Gu Ding knew immediately who Sea Emperor was referring to. "He should be the mastermind behind this operation."

"For the top 3, Tanya's Beauty Pirate Crew is indeed a good 'training ground' for them. Although this is only Shallow Sea Zone, Tanya occupies a vast territory, almost equivalent to a five-star Universe Country. Moreover, Kenz of the Beauty Pirate Crew is no weaker than some overlords of the Deep Sea Zone, which can serve as a good training ground for the top 3. Another point is that this banquet will inevitably attract many powerful and promising Interstellar Pirate, and the Federal Government can take this opportunity to wipe them all out."

It's not hard to explain why the Sea Emperor thinks the Beauty Pirate Crew is a target for the Federal Government's 'training'.

"But the Top 3 have already been mobilized. Judging from Reed's previous behavior, all the Interstellar Pirate on this planet will only face two outcomes: death or being sent to Federal Prison. The key question now is: how do we escape? Since they've made their move, they must be very confident in completing this mission, and the Combat Strength of all sorts of powerful individuals is within their calculations." Miko's brows furrowed deeply. "Sea Emperor, besides the Top 3, who else has come?"

"There are also thirty-two cloaked figures with strange auras, not like humans." Sea Emperor also noticed the cloaked figures.

"Doesn't seem human?" Gu Ding found the Sea Emperor's words somewhat surprising. The Federal Government would never ally with a foreign race. Moreover, Gu Ding knew Reed well; Reed was even less likely to cooperate with powerful foreign beings. "Can the image be projected?"

The Sea Emperor immediately projected the scene at the port.

In the scene, thirty-two figures cloaked in black stood in a row, completely motionless. When Gu Ding saw these thirty-two people, he indeed couldn't detect any human aura on them. Even when observing through a screen, he could usually discern the strength of an opponent's aura, but these cloaked figures had absolutely no aura. Moreover, the thirty-two men seemed to be exactly the same height and build; with the cloaks on, they looked virtually identical.

"How strange, I can't even detect their soul aura..." Liliath frowned as well.

"These guys are probably Artificial Human," Robert suddenly said. "I just did a remote scan of the port. These thirty-two guys were obviously created not long ago, but they are very powerful."

"Is there a way to deal with this?" the Sea Emperor asked hurriedly.

"With your help, it won't be difficult, because their chips have an Electromagnetic Protection Layer, which they designed to resist interference. With this layer, I can't remotely modify their chips. As long as you remove that Electromagnetic Protection Layer, I have a way to turn them into my toys," Robert laughed. He had always been limited by materials and couldn't create combat puppets with corresponding power, so this Artificial Human really interested him.

"I was just thinking about it, and I can actually deal with Artificial Human too. I just need to transmit a lot of useless data to their chips, and they will automatically burn out if the data exceeds the chip's capacity." Sea Emperor suddenly remembered this idea.

"Sea Emperor, let me keep it. It would be such a waste to destroy it." Robert, somewhat reluctantly.

"If you remotely modify the chip, the Federal Government is very likely to discover your true identity." Sea Emperor still seemed a little hesitant.

"It's alright, at most they'll know I'm a mechanic from the Mechanical Race." Robert wasn't worried about this at all. "In our time, junior mechanics could independently create Artificial Human, and remotely modifying chips was an entry-level test for intermediate mechanics."

"Alright then, I'll remove the Electromagnetic Protection Layer for you." The moment Sea Emperor finished speaking, the electromagnetic field near the port became chaotic, and the Electromagnetic Protection Layer surrounding the thirty-two Artificial Human chips was completely worn away in less than three seconds. "That's enough!"

Robert remotely controlled the chips, causing a slight change. The whole process took less than a minute. "I've fixed it. I now have complete control over these thirty-two Artificial Human, and I can completely intercept any instructions issued by the Federal Government. Sea Emperor, add another Electromagnetic Protection Layer to their chips. That way, it won't be as easy for anyone to detect the flaws."

Sea Emperor immediately followed suit, completing the Electromagnetic Protection Layer coverage of all the chips in less than three minutes. "Done! Absolutely undetectable."

"No matter how smart Reed is, he couldn't have predicted something like this." Gu Ding grinned, revealing his white teeth.

The banquet was still going on, and Gu Ding and his group naturally acted as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, at the port, Reed was completely unaware of anything, still silently waiting for the outcome of the battle between Top 3 and Kenz.

Within Kenz's domain, the battle did not immediately begin.

"Your domain does indeed have this kind of weakening effect." Despite his strength being suppressed within the domain, the red-haired youth Benoco seemed completely unfazed. "It seems Reed's guess was correct."

"Reed's speculation?" Kenz had naturally heard about some recent events in the Deep Sea Zone and knew that a guy named Reed had emerged in the Federal Government, leading the top 3 in 'training' in the Deep Sea Zone with a 100% win rate. Upon hearing this name, he immediately became somewhat wary.

"That's right. Reed gave us a count before we came. He said your domain has a 73% chance of having a weakening effect, an 18% chance of having a self-strengthening effect, a 7% chance of having other curse-like effects, and only the last 2% could be something else." Benoco's lips curled up as he took out a vial of medicine from his Smart Watch. "So we specially prepared medicine to deal with this situation."

After he finished speaking, he injected the drug into his own body, and the other eight people in the top 3 also injected the drug into their bodies in the same way.

"The potion we're injecting is Purification Potion, capable of dispelling all negative effects. Its effects last for twelve hours, which I think should be enough." Benoco tossed the syringe aside, his aura rapidly rising after the potion entered his body. Within seconds, it returned to its original level. The weakening effect of the Kenz Domain completely vanished under the potion's influence.

Kenz hadn't expected his domain ability to be exposed. He had always been very careful about it, never revealing it. Almost everyone who had entered his domain had failed to leave alive. But this time, it had been deduced by the other party based on details recorded in his combat videos and other documents. He couldn't help but think that the boy named Reed was indeed an extremely terrifying existence.

The regular members of the top three are all at the level of Five-Star High-rank God, so fighting across a major rank is not difficult for them. The reason Kenz was confident enough to challenge all nine of them simultaneously was because he possessed a domain that could weaken his opponents and limit their strength. But now, the domain's effect has completely disappeared, and he is in an extremely unfavorable combat environment because almost every opponent is a powerhouse on par with him. He even vaguely senses that the red-haired youth named Benoco is an extremely dangerous individual, possibly even stronger than himself.

"Enough with the nonsense. Even without being weakened, I can still annihilate you all." As Kenz spoke, his muscles began to bulge and swell wildly.

The top 3 members immediately responded accordingly.

A girl in a black dress quickly formed hand seals, and the ground beneath Kenz's feet instantly turned black. A huge tentacle suddenly emerged from beneath the ground and quickly wrapped around Kenz's waist.

A young man in blue robes, with purple lightning flashing in his palm, swung his hand out, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his palm like a purple ray, heading straight for Kenz's head.

A young Swordsman drew his longsword like a serpent, its tip aimed directly at Kenz's heart. A crimson aura surged from his sword, almost as if it were alive, indicating that his sword intent had reached the level of perfect subtlety.

The others also made their moves one by one, launching their strongest attacks right from the start.

Only Benoco remained hidden in the darkness, refraining from launching any attack.

Just as the numerous attacks were about to reach him, Kenz finally moved. He let out a roar, and an incomparably powerful force erupted from his body, forcefully severing the black tentacles that were binding his body. Then, he struck out with both hands in succession, and streams of incomparably powerful golden divine energy forcefully crushed all the attacks with overwhelming force.

Just as Kenz was about to press his advantage, he sensed a strong sense of danger coming from behind him... (To be continued...)
