140 Without Society, You Are Worthless

Li Aoz joked, then punched Yuhelai's faceplate and tossed Yuhelai away like trash.

However, this time, Yuhelai was prepared. The moment he rolled to the ground, his spine was clearly broken, yet he suddenly raised the scepter in his hand.

"Every citizen pays a price to join society. Guess why my sword was pulled from my spine?"

Yuhelai rolled over and got up; the damage to his spine had no effect on his movement.

Rather, it's the sharp blade in his hand that's the real spine.

Just as Li Aoz realized what was happening and was about to make a move, Yuhelai suddenly raised his cane.

"Sister," Yuhelai cried out, feigning distress, "Save me!"

Suddenly, a ferocious shadow leaped out of Zonia's eye sockets and crashed into Li Aoz's arms. It used both claws and opened its mouth wide to bite at Li Aoz's neck, but Li Aoz managed to block it in time.

'Don't... hurt him!'

The shadow struggled fiercely, and slowly, another withered, emaciated, and scarred girl's head emerged from its neck. She turned her neck, her dying eyes fixed on Li Aoz: 'Don't touch my brother!!!'

"Are you fucking an idiot, Zonia?"

Li Aoz grabbed Shadow by the neck and cursed:

"That's not your brother. He's the one who killed your brother Yuhelai and impersonated him."

To avoid Gene Overload, from the very beginning when dealing with Yuhelai, Li Aoz only used the Aoneng of [Pegasus Force], increasing the power suppression slightly.

Li Aoz had just injected 29 doses of Aura Awakening Potion at the temporary gathering place. Most of the Aoneng was broken down by him, and what he left behind was naturally for Yuhelai and Shadow.

[Physical Enhancement]: Cauchy-class (Ξ, the fourteenth Greek letter) Aoneng, providing dual benefits to [Constitution] and [Charisma]. An ultimate physical body, pure violence—this is the body of titanium and iron. Even the most hardened warriors can only bow their heads in shame before you.

Aoneng's performance:

Active Activation—All muscle fibers throughout your body receive unparalleled strengthening, cells proliferate with vigorous vitality, you will possess immense strength, becoming a tyrant surpassing human power. (Gain [Strength] equivalent to 220% of your [Charisma] attribute)

Passive state - Each time you advance to a higher level, your Constitution increases by an additional 20, and each time you activate Aoneng, your maximum HP increases by 500;

"Steel and iron-like, rugged and incorruptible."

After players' retaliatory spending and the rental of Aoneng, Li Aoz has accumulated a large amount of experience. Combined with the gains from killing Gamma-rank and completing missions, his [Mutant] level has reached lv.60 (MAX).

If he were willing to raise his [Biochemist] level and complete the Gamma-rank advancement mission, nothing on the entire Azure Planet would be able to stop him—however, Li Aoz didn't intend to waste too much experience on [Biochemist]; he needed to go into the universe to find the legacy of [Architect].

[Main Class [Mutant] has been upgraded to level 60 (MAX)]

Based on your expertise, you gain the following benefit: Charisma +6.

Before setting off, Li Aoz had already changed into a full set of jewelry, which increased his [Charm] by 16 points, bringing his current total [Charm] value to 99 points.

After the perpetuation effect of [Perpetual · Love Hunter], the actual profit increased by 30%, resulting in a final profit of 128.7 points.

The Cauchy-class [Physical Enhancement] provides [Strength] equivalent to 220% of the [Charisma] attribute when activated, which is 283.14 points.

It's a real shame that this is the attribute standard for a Delta-rank [Martial Artist].

Li Aoz raised his fist.

Without any fancy moves, a punch instantly blasted into the shadow's head.

------boom!!!

The shadow's body instantly disintegrated, Zonia's head flew high into the air, and the remaining force of the punch transformed into a powerful and domineering shockwave, instantly blasting away the barely surviving Yuhelai behind him. Yuhelai's body was deeply embedded in the rock, and his body was shattered by the scorching and intense gale. He could no longer hold the cane and sword in his hand, and he opened his hand with only two fingers left, letting it fall to the ground.

"I can't die..."

Yuhelai's physical body was almost completely destroyed, but his will still resonated throughout the world:

"I haven't yet made my greatest sacrifice, Black Whale, Black Whale should be mine..."

His body began to tremble again, as if he were about to stand up and continue fighting Li Aoz.

rustle...

The pale armor vanished with the wind, turning into specks of dust. Yuhelai's will crumbled, and he no longer had the strength to continue the fight.

"Smokin's Sexy Style".

Li Aoz stepped forward, picked up Yuhelai's head, looked it over, and suddenly squeezed it hard, crushing it.

"Without society, citizens are useless."

You killed the ' Secrecy Jury [White Knight]'— Yuhelai Knight (Limit Threshold)

Jury members are the backbone of society and belong to a high-value group.

[Your title: New Hunter - Upgraded]

[Current title: Bronze Hunter]

[Bronze Hunter - Any of your attacks will deal 6% bonus True Damage to 'Social' enemies.]

[You have unlocked a new social kill list because you defeated an unknown Social Citizen.]

[Hidden Society - Gaia (Top Predator Society) - Level:???]

[Note: The target has been hidden. You cannot obtain information about dealing with them through the hunting system. Please obtain relevant information by interrogating and communicating with the 'Member of Parliament' level target.]

[You have been promoted to Bronze Hunter – Hunter Mentor ' Yodunner ' has opened a purchase link for you; you can now purchase 'Hunter' related equipment in the [Shop].]

The series of news messages left Li Aoz feeling exhausted and numb.

"Gaia," Li Aoz muttered, "What a strange name. In a normal society, most names should have four characters. This is the first time I've ever seen a society with only two characters in a name."

At first, he thought Gaia was just a nickname, and that her real name should be something like 'Gaia Nim' or 'Galenia', since the most powerful society— the Outer Domain Society Pergalai —also has four characters.

Gaia is only two words, and it doesn't feel like the name of a group called 'society'... more like the name of a planet.

As for the information that his hunting mentor, Yodunner, would come to fleece him after he was promoted to Bronze, Li Aoz simply ignored it. He had plenty of ways to avoid this unscrupulous merchant's expensive goods.

The remaining Mobile Armor were already heading this way. Li Aoz didn't dare to delay, so he turned around, took off, spread his Pegasus Wings, and flew rapidly toward the settlement.

But as he flew, Li Aoz felt something was wrong—because the storm seemed to be following him.

No— Li Aoz shuddered—damn it, the natural disaster has changed direction! Li Aoz quickly dialed Du Zexin's number and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ze, how much longer?"

"Just hold on for another hour and forty minutes... at the latest, it will take an hour. The chemicals in the Biochemical Pool need to be kept at a constant temperature, otherwise your passengers will freeze to death in outer space at -200°C. It also needs a radiator. I have to install a radiant panel for cooling, otherwise it will melt the Biochemical Pool."
