Carl's Methods

The roars and thunderous blasts were endless. As massive amounts of energy poured down from the sky, the beast-body model gradually became more solid.

"Roar!" As if sensing the depletion of its own energy and dissatisfied with the rate at which energy was being supplied, it opened its jaws wide, allowing the energy to flow into its body faster. It did not care even when the rapid infusion of energy caused tiny cracks to appear across its body.

"Fenrir, the Savage Beast God—one of Super Seminary's failed creations, made by Wu Daozi. A third-generation beast-body warrior. His original intention was to research a genetic virus that would make beast bodies lose their minds.

"But instead, he gave them stronger bodies and sharper combat instincts. Though they lacked some reason, their combat power was astonishing." With a smile in her eyes, Carl introduced Fenrir to Yuan as though she were teaching a lesson.

"You really are something, Death God Karl. I clearly blew up the Supercomputer, yet you still managed to awaken him. I'm impressed."

"For Fenrir, the Supercomputer was merely one way to awaken him. Massive amounts of energy could also rouse him from slumber. Though he lacks reason, his combat power should be sufficient. Yuan, what will you do?"

What else could he do? Yuan spread his hands. "If I surrender now, would it still be in time?"

"What do you think? Yuan, stop testing me. My patience is limited."

"Heh, how boring. Let's go, Bruis. Haven't you all always wanted to become super soldiers? Go see whether this so-called third-generation beast body is really worth it."

If soldiers came, generals would block them; if water came, earth would dam it. So what if it was a third-generation beast-body warrior? Was he supposed to kneel and beg for mercy? Yuan shook his head. But before that, there was one more thing to do.

Before anyone could react, Yuan lightly raised his hand. The energy cannon blasted directly into the Jade Wall Bruis was holding. In an instant, the Jade Wall shattered into fragments, no longer resembling its former self.

"How insolent!" Carl's furious cry burst out. Anger appeared once more on her previously calm face.

"Sorry, I missed. I'll apologize to you next time we meet, Death God Karl."

With that, ignoring Carl's ugly expression, he led Bruis and the others out of the battleship's command center. As for the now-destroyed Jade Wall? It was no longer within his consideration.

Those bastard dogs had tried to fool him with a lousy piece of jade. Who knew what other tricks had been left on it? Putting everything else aside, Carl's reaction alone proved that blowing it up had been the right call.

At Yuan's arrival, the many Gluttony soldiers quickly gathered around him, as if they had found their backbone.

"Officer, Your Excellency."

"Enough nonsense. Bruis, you're in command now. I need to make some preparations." At a critical moment like this, Yuan had no intention of wasting time on useless formalities.

As Gluttony's elite, Bruis and these soldiers possessed extensive combat experience. They had fought super soldiers before.

However, those had all been super soldiers born by accident—most were first-generation, with the strongest merely being immature second-generation soldiers. They could not compare to the third-generation beast body cultivated by Super Seminary, but they were at least more familiar with such battles than Yuan was.

Leave professional matters to professionals. Yuan had more important things to do now.

"Roar!"

"Boom!"

Seeing people interrupt his replenishment of energy, Fenrir let out an enraged roar. Then he stopped absorbing energy altogether. To him, the targets before him were nothing more than insects.

After sleeping for thirty thousand years, he now needed a baptism of blood.

Fenrir lightly pushed off with both legs. His enormous body showed no trace of clumsiness as it leaped into the air, then crashed heavily into the ground with the force of thunder. A massive shockwave swept across the battlefield, huge waves radiating outward as yellow sand filled the air.

Seeing this, Bruis roared as he commanded everyone to defend.

"First and second squads, attack from the front. Maintain the formation. Third squad, draw his attention and provide mobile support. Fourth squad, snipe his weak points with everything you have. Your Excellency, I need assistance from the central system."

Once on the battlefield, Bruis swiftly cast aside his fear of Carl. As a commander, he knew there was no retreat left. Only by eliminating the target before them could any of them possibly survive.

After hearing Bruis's request, Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and directly transferred all authority over the central system to Bruis.

"The central system is online. Commander Bruis, His Excellency has granted you the highest authority. The central system will provide full support. Please continue your battle."

"Good. Begin analyzing the target—Fenrir's movement patterns. Fully analyze Fenrir's potential weaknesses and attack patterns. Plan assault routes in real time."

"Understood, Commander Bruis. The central system is conducting a full analysis. All warriors, please protect your tactical visors. The system will compile combat intelligence for you in real time."

With the central system's assistance, Bruis led the soldiers into a fierce struggle against Fenrir. Yuan watched from the side, constantly calculating in his mind.

At this rate, they would all certainly die. Though the Gluttony squads seemed evenly matched with Fenrir, their lack of high-grade weapons meant they could not inflict any fatal injuries on him.

With only energy cannons and particle blades in hand, they had no say in the course of the battlefield.

The battleship's main cannon was their only possible means of inflicting a fatal wound, but Fenrir was too fast for it to lock onto him. Forcing an attack would only cost them their sole trump card.

"The battleship's main cannon is the only chance to turn this around. Someone needs to make Fenrir pause. Right—the God-Slaying Spear!" The image of the God-Slaying Spear suddenly flashed through Yuan's mind.

"Qiming, fully analyze Fenrir's movement trajectory and attack motions. I need an opportunity—an opportunity to kill him in one strike."

"Understood, Master. Recording and analyzing the target's movements."

"Roar!" Seeing that he had still failed to take down his targets, Fenrir roared in fury.

"Hm? Dark Energy fluctuations?" Yuan's heart suddenly jolted. He looked in the direction of the energy fluctuations.

As Fenrir roared, he slightly raised his hands. Sharp black claw blades swiftly covered the flesh of his hands.

"What is that? A weapon issued by Super Seminary?" A bad feeling rose within Yuan.

"Dark Alloy, once the pride of the Divine River Civilization. It is an exceptionally perfect metal even for gods. Armor made from it can block all kinds of detection, while weapons forged from it are equally sturdy and sharp."

Carl's sudden appearance nearly made Yuan jump.

"Fuck, Death God Karl! How do you just appear out of nowhere? You scared the hell out of me, you know?"

"Hmph! Is that how you speak to your teacher? Utterly disrespectful."

"Pah! Disrespectful? Some people say you fart all day, too. Say, Lady Carl, is the food in the Styx Galaxy really that bad? If not, hire me. My cooking is pretty good."

"Hmph! Keep stalling me, and your little partners will all be dead soon."

Yuan instantly came back to his senses. Though he somewhat enjoyed provoking a true god, this was clearly not the right time.

Turning his head, he saw that Fenrir's combat power had increased by far more than just a little after gaining Dark Alloy Weapons.

Gluttony's armor and shields were like paper in his hands. In the blink of an eye, two squads had lost their combat capability and were lying on the ground.

"Fuck, Carl has ruined me!"
