Are you afraid of getting hurt?

The special event themed "Redemption" slowly began.

After the transition, for the first time, the camera no longer focused on the battlefield, but instead on the streets filled with the style of Sky Ring.

"Prime Minister Park Jeong-sun- soon resigns! Heavenly Ring Nation doesn't need another butcher!"

The students of Sky Ring held up banners and torches high, formed a procession, and shouted in unison:

"The Hojo Family's security forces have landed on the Huameida Island Chain —this is a shameless act of aggression!"

"Shameless war criminals!"

"The Heavenly Ring People have had enough of war!"

"Punish the Hojo Family! Divide up the Zaibatsu! Stop the war!"

Faced with the indignant crowd, the Sky Ring Riot Control Force impatiently pushed their police cars forward and used high-pressure water cannons to disperse the crowd, knocking the anti-war protesters to the ground in droves. Subsequently, Hojo Heavy Industries ' private security team arrived at the scene, violently ramming into the crowd, deploying armored vehicles, and firing vehicle-mounted Heavy Machine Gun at civilians.

Da da da da da——

Blood was everywhere, corpses littered the ground. Protesters were torn to shreds by the brutal metal storm. Gunfire erupted, throwing the crowd into panic. They retreated and fled, and the reversed tide rushed into the main road, colliding with cars and causing a serious stampede. One row of people fell, and another row piled on top of them, stacking up three or four layers high.

As people fled in panic, the crowd gradually receded. A mother who was caught in the throng was trampled repeatedly, but she still managed to brace herself with her arms to protect her child.

Click click...

The tracks slowly turned, the turret turned toward the street, and slowly aimed at the mother and child in front of it.

Boom! A flash of fire erupted as the cannonball spun out, billowing smoke and dust that was about to engulf the mother and child when a shield slammed down! Bang! The shield, which had crashed into the ground like a castle, blocked the cannonball. A man of unimaginable physique slowly turned his head, knelt on one knee, and looked directly at the crying boy. His black visor snapped open, revealing a calm and resolute face:

"Stand behind me, and you won't get hurt anymore!"

The man's marble-like face was expressionless; even a robot would be considered emotionally rich compared to him. His voice was strong and clear, like a synthesizer filled with deathly silence, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet his words were warmer than the sunlight.

He stretched out his hand, and golden energy fragments emanated from his body, his shimmering life force rapidly healing the severely injured people around him who had been trampled.

It's you!

Li Aoz's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned forward. This man was the teammate he had been longing to see.

"' Black Knight ' Gretwar Night Song - not only the strongest [Inquisitor], but also evolved into C3 Luca-type Cosmic Human Race."

"The most talented man on the entire Azure Planet, and the one who has gone the furthest."

Gretwar Night Song is Outland People from Sky Ring, and also a member of the Outland Rebel Army International Camp.

He has a well-deserved title—'The most reassuring man on the Azure Planet '.

The release of heroes from the "Redemption" series has delighted players and reignited discussions about them.

The three professions under the [Redemption] category— [Doctor], [Priest], and [Inquisitor]—all use their extraordinary vitality, combined with technological/magical means, to save others.

The mentor of the [Doctor] is Sebastian von Muller of the Red Arrow Empire. This profession is a typical product of the Tech Side, highly mobile, and uses firearms in combat. They are skilled in emergency medical care, especially battlefield aid. With the help of drugs and catalysts, they can quickly restore people to combat ability, but they are prone to leaving aftereffects.

In contrast, Most van Rutt, a fellow priest from the Red Arrow Empire, demonstrated a more powerful ability to save lives—as long as the person wasn't immediately dead, even if they were missing half their body, he could bring them back to life. However, this required extremely demanding healing rituals and a safe environment. The life aura they cast could effectively remove diseases and Negative Effect, making them the team's primary commander.

The Inquisitors forgo ranged firepower, relying instead on their far superior Strength and Constitution compared to the other two branches. Their healing primarily stems from the heightened emotional intensity they experience when beating enemies, causing their cells to release an even more vigorous life force than usual. Inquisitors will don heavy armor, wield shields and firearms, and engage enemies to protect their healing teammates and prevent them from being harmed.

Next is the job introduction for the [Plunder] class. Their mentor is... they don't have a mentor.

Because the [Plunder] system is too random, the developers chose to interweave the interesting gameplay of [Plunderer] and [Gambler], showcasing the characteristics of 'luck' and 'rewards', which also stimulated the interest of many players.

Instead of getting anxious about not seeing the [Dominator] type Li Aoz for so long, he became even more excited.

[Destruction], [Strange], [Exquisite], [Redemption], [Plunder]—and the last one, naturally, is [Domination].

Placing it last clearly proves that the [Dominator] series is officially recognized as the grand finale.

Moreover, the [Dominator] class is different from other classes; it only has one class: [Mutant].

This means that the instructors of the [Dominator] system will enjoy the same amount of presentation time as the other five systems.

The venue fell silent, and the comments section became even more eager.

'The last one should be the Overlord Class, right? I've seen the official announcement.'

"The name sounds pretty cool, but the theme colors are red and black, which I don't really like."

'My heart has been stolen by the judges of the Redemption Class; I will have no other choice for the rest of my life.'

"I'll definitely choose the Mechanic, and show you what New Human looks like!"

Amidst the clamor, sounds slowly drifted through the quiet meeting room.

Thump thump... thump thump...

The intense heartbeats, constantly accelerating to the beat of the music, kept the audience's emotions running high.

Who will be the Overlord Class mentor? Red Arrow People?

'It couldn't possibly be the Sky Ring, could it? There's no mention of any country specializing in Overlord Class professions.'

'Quiet, quiet, quiet, this is crucial.'

Just as the patience of the viewers was wearing thin, a familiar male voice suddenly rang out from the venue:

"Gravity and death are synonyms for you."

The next moment, the light shone.

Du Zexin, who was just piloting a mecha, maneuvering skillfully, and unleashing a barrage of firepower, now knelt in a sea of red and black blood.

Like a giant god Bio-Kongou was ferocious and arrogant, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Blood churned, giants stood tall, and Du Zexin, the highly popular [Mechanic] mentor, could only clear out the deformed Biochemical Soldier on the ground.

The audience was stunned.

'What happened?'

"Hey, by the way, didn't that voice sound familiar?"

The camera slowly pans upwards, turning to the man who made the sound.

"Malefic Calamity is nothing more than a servant to me, not worth mentioning, yet you treat it like a treasure."

Li Aoz stood with his arms crossed and legs apart, and said sarcastically:

"Watch closely, this is the true master of genes!"

On one side of the screen, the accompanying text clearly revealed the man's identity to 13.4 billion viewers:

"[Dominator] Subordinate [Mutant] - Li Aoz".

His facial muscles tore open, and then the inner scarlet membrane flap flipped over to cover his face. Red and black crystals cleverly concealed the gaps. At the same time, red and black crystalline spikes grew on his arms, and black liquid was continuously injected into the blood vessels in his neck. The hardened ribs on his chest grew rapidly, breaking through the skin and donning calcified armor.

[Overlord Form Activated]

[DOMINATE ALL]

The official description simply states. "The Mutant have unleashed the potential of their body's genes, thereby truly gaining their own unique ability, ' Aoneng '."

They are able to choose and gradually control the evolutionary direction of their genes, and possess a ' Overlord Form ' that fully unleashes their power.

Master your genes, control your body, grasp your destiny, and dominate everything.

112 was locked in a dark room by an AI with low intelligence, but was just released. I'm a bit busy today, so only 7,000 words are available. Please forgive me.

To be honest, I don't know why. I've always made such disjointed statements before, and I've never been criticized or personally attacked.

As it turns out, there are more and more people like this lately.

Is my book going to be a hit?
