215 Hunter's Emblem

Two destroyers of the astral planes clashed in succession. Although they had not yet ascended to godhood, they already possessed the form of gods, unapproachable, incomprehensible, and impossible to look directly at.

Only distortion and madness.

The possibility of immortality is inherently twisted and insane!

If everyone accepts this fact so calmly, then madness doesn't matter.

The staff officer glanced at the battle and realized he couldn't understand the level of the two men's fighting at all, so he simply turned away to handle his own tasks.

Just then, a subordinate quickly brought news. "Mr. Commander Wu, the informant from White Candle Star said that the Bravo Squad has been confirmed to be annihilated. He observed that his subordinate with the crescent moon was captured, and our Teleportation Tower has also fallen into enemy hands. The mages are working hard to break it."

"It seems we won't be able to get the Destiny Card." After a moment of contemplation, the advisor said, "Since we can't get it, let's just leave it at that. What we have now is enough to please the Mother of the Dark Night. Tell our people to evacuate immediately."

"Regarding the Teleportation Tower..." the subordinate expressed concern. "If the other side manages to reverse-engineer our coordinates and technology, it could cause serious problems."

"No, that's not the case. The Molecular Teleporter doesn't have much advanced technology. The fact that it can be assembled is truly thanks to the blessing of the Mother of the Dark Night."

The Commander Wu's staff waved his hand:

"Previous intelligence indicated that in 38 hours, Mash Gergang the [Machine World Society] would descend upon this place, and the Governor was holding out here— the White Candle Star's demise was inevitable. Our objective had been achieved. Since we couldn't obtain the ' Destiny Card '..."

He sneered, "Then those ignorant materialist bugs won't get it either."

"However, there are now some powerful figures in Trivella City. If they want to concentrate their forces, it should be possible to destroy the councilors..."

"No one can stand against the established Society Councilor of parliament."

The aide shook his head. "No one, not even a god, can do it."

Clang! Li Aoz slashed at Coulomb Torque's shoulder with his sword. The high True Damage from [Lord of Metal and Iron], combined with the [Power] suppression effect of [Bloodline], knocked Coulomb Torque to the ground in an instant.

"This is the eighth time."

Li Aoz's palms felt a little numb, and his mana was almost depleted again. He stood there and took a breath.

"You have a good [social] senator, Coulomb Torque. If it were an ordinary Society Councilor, I would have collapsed after killing him five times, if he were targeted by Bronze Hunter like me."

[Machine World Society] is, after all, a society with a relatively strong abyss, and the councilors' mental resistance is a bit outrageous.

But unfortunately, in his past life Li Aoz had killed far too many of these Marauder-type councilors.

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

Wearing this title, along with the 300% increase in damage output from the [Battle Berserker] skill, will grant you access to this item.

As it turns out, the "Hidden Society" was probably just a unique case. Other members of the "Society" were simply like sauerkraut fish—completely useless and superfluous—when facing the experienced Li Aoz.

See through their attack patterns.

Skill template, familiar path.

Tactical skills, clear.

In terms of attribute values, it's overwhelmingly superior.

"Your stats are too low, your tactics are outdated, your thinking is antiquated, and you can't distinguish between left and right—what do you have to fight me with?"

It's just a pity...

Li Aoz's gaze sharpened.

—After all, I am not the complete Zeta-rank.

[If another Zeta-rank Zeta-rank appears, I can end this battle immediately!]

Even after killing him several times, he still hadn't mastered the strength expected of Zeta-rank opponent, and couldn't defeat him at his root.

On the surface, Li Aoz almost effortlessly crushed his opponent, but in reality, Li Aoz was extremely anxious.

His blue bars are limited.

His players are going offline.

With the continuous production of citizens in the society and an unlimited energy supply, Li Aoz simply couldn't keep up.

As individuals, we are never a match for society. In fact, there are often instances where the speaker of society can wear down the gods of Narrative-level Civilization to death.

He has already extended the cooldown of his [Dictator Form] to six months, and the genetic load is extremely heavy.

He can't transform anymore, otherwise, if this continues, Li Aoz 'll lose his suit.

If things go wrong, the four Sequence Aura go berserk, causing damage that would be far more outrageous than the Crescent Moon.

Just one more Zeta-rank would be great...

Even just one will do.

However, given his current status as a [Dominator] in the Dao path, he dared not call for reinforcements—if reinforcements came, they would first capture Li Aoz, and it would also implicate Dean Nastisha, who had spoken well of him.

He could only pin his hopes on Caramel Snail and his group, relying on the Help-Study Association he had left behind at the association, to search for Zeta-rank powerhouses among the common people.

This is the only option left.

Otherwise, he and these players would eventually be worn down and die here.

"Who... who exactly are you?!"

Coulomb Torque's body disappeared into the snow, the exploding sparks and scorching circuitry melting and evaporating the surrounding snow. Its electronic eyes were filled with shock. "Two—three, no! A full four! Four sequence authority, no native of Star Abyss has ever been able to do this—who the hell are you?"

Me?

Li Aoz calmly stepped forward. Coulomb Torque was practically indestructible because of the Council's presence. Even if you knocked it into the second dimension, it could jump out of the Quantum Realm.

On the one hand, Crescent Moon's development level is far superior to mine.

On the other hand, all I can say is... tsk, what a waste, anime fantasist! While Li Aoz was pondering where to go back and learn some string theory or quantum physics, Coulomb Torque's question steered his thoughts in another direction.

[Perfect timing, almost time to put up my signboard.]

"I am not very talented."

He dragged his sword, the blade leaving a trail of Mars as it scraped against the ground, and slowly said:

"I am Li Aoz, Li Si Rio, or Lioz."

He raised a sharp blade and held it to the man's neck:

"The reincarnation of Lioz, the agent of the [God of Reality], the chief god of the [Morphedria] system, and the last God Samurai."

With a flick of his wrist, Lioz swiftly raised the blade, instantly separating Coulomb Torque from its head.

"You deserve to be defeated by me."

Snap...

Coulomb Torque's body lay on the ground, sparks and lightning flashing from its fractured surface.

'Hehehe...'

However, muffled chuckles came from all directions:

' Lioz? You're saying you're the reincarnation of Lioz? Hahaha...'

Li Aoz still, and an invisible stream of charged particles swept across the sky, lifting Coulomb Torque on the ground and all the fallen Machine Citizens into the air, quickly assembling and restoring them.

'If you hadn't said that, I would have had my doubts—but since you've said something like that, you definitely aren't Lioz!'

Coulomb Torque instantly reassembled, placing the visor on the mechanical skull's face, its eyes glowing green, and its synthesized electronic voice filled with mockery and sarcasm:

"Lioz could not possibly be reincarnated."
