Restoration

Compared to the unpredictable or mysterious beings who wield the power of rules, the chainsaw maniac is actually much easier to deal with.

But no matter how easy it is to deal with, it is still strange.

After a while, the bullet holes on its body had almost healed, with only some dried blood indicating that it had been shot.

Seeing this, Captain Mao remained calm despite the shock, raising his right fist and shouting, "Ready to fire!"

Lu Bai was naturally not intimidated by this chainsaw maniac. He didn't take the strange creature in front of him seriously at all, focusing all his attention on his newly acquired black ability.

[Reduction].

It's indeed not easy to determine the effect of this ability from its name alone.

However, unlike the initial confusion surrounding the [Load Save] ability, the [Restore] ability, also a black-level ability, does not require any prerequisites for its use.

The usage of [Restore] is self-evident.

Lu Bai noticed that on his system's main interface, a blank area had appeared below the temporary save slot that had appeared due to [loading a save].

Clicking on this blank area resulted in no delay whatsoever.

The next moment, hundreds of abilities appeared in front of his retina.

[Super Regeneration], [Blood Rage], [Five Immortals Sealing], [Power Bank], [Super Male Gene]...

He only glanced around briefly before discovering what these abilities had in common—they were all abilities he had used or learned before.

After these hundreds of abilities appeared, he realized, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, that he could freely choose one of them and regain it.

The effect alone is already quite exaggerated.

It truly lives up to its black-level strength.

It's important to understand that after Lu Bai gained the ability to [load saves], the Deathmatchers could practically no longer pose a threat to him.

Therefore, for him, the only danger comes from the Deathmatch Arena itself.

If you encounter Deathmatch Arena with a sufficiently high level of power, even having the ability to [load a save] cannot guarantee your safety.

After all, the ability level in each round of the Ability Pool is random. If the deathmatchers only have white-level abilities, even if Lu Bai can read all of these white-level abilities, he won't be able to make a splash.

However, [restoration] is different.

This dark power doesn't seem to care at all what level of Ability Pool it is.

Even if all three rounds of Ability Pool in a particular Deathmatch Showdown are at the white level, what does that have to do with Lu Bai? Does it affect his ability to restore and use colored abilities?

Therefore, the only drawback of the [Restore] ability is that it can only restore one ability at a time.

There will be some impact, but it won't be significant.

If this ability isn't useful, we can simply replace it with another more suitable one. At worst, we just can't create an invincible ability set all at once.

Of course, while a standalone [restoration] is powerful, the range of choices isn't that wide for a typical deathmatch player.

Ultimately, those who Deathmatch Showdown. They need to go through at least a sufficient number of Deathmatch Showdown to barely increase the strength of this "discard pile".

Lu Bai is clearly not a typical deathmatch fighter.

With the [Save/Load] ability, he could fill his "discard pile" with two or three hundred different abilities in a single Deathmatch Showdown.

Da da da da!

The dense, rapid-fire gunfire that filled Lu Bai's ears, like the sound of a typewriter, temporarily diverted his attention from the system interface in front of his retina.

Looking up, they saw that the chainsaw-wielding maniac had completely abandoned his defenses, enduring the barrage of bullets as he walked towards them step by step with some difficulty.

It seemed as if it felt no pain; the more bullets hit it, the more ferocious its smile became.

"You! Just you wait! I'm coming right now!"

The chainsaw maniac grinned maliciously as he resolutely took steps forward.

Captain Mao's forehead was already covered in a fine layer of sweat, but he didn't loosen his grip on the trigger. Without turning his head, he shouted, "Master Lu, leave this to us. You go back to command post first."

The chainsaw maniac's demeanor is quite intimidating to ordinary people.

Several soldiers were so tense under such pressure that their hands trembled and they couldn't control their guns.

Lu Bai was clearly not in this category. He simply selected a colored ability from the "recycling station" and then picked up a small wooden stick about the thickness of a toothpick from the ground.

He patted Captain Mao on the shoulder with a smile.

"No need for that trouble."

He casually brandished the small wooden stick in his hand, seemingly nonchalantly. "Ground Splitting Slash."

However, the small wooden stick rippled with a deep indigo color as he moved it.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely violent wave of sword energy emanated from the small wooden stick, expanding rapidly as it hurtled upwards towards the chainsaw maniac.

The energy fluctuations emanating from this sword wave alone tore apart the ground along its path, creating a passage half a meter wide.

The chainsaw maniac in front didn't even realize what was happening before he was instantly and brutally sliced in two by the raging sword wave, his limbs and blood mist being completely evaporated.

If it weren't for the tiny remnants remaining, one would never imagine that a strange creature had once stood here.

[Great Swordsman's Flying Slash): A powerful ranged attack technique. It unleashes a powerful wave of sword energy, easily cleaving an island in two. Note that the stronger the slash, the greater the energy consumption.]

When everything settles down.

The scene was almost frozen in time.

Everyone present, including Captain Mao, stiffly turned to look at Lu Bai.

Captain Mao opened his mouth, only to realize that his voice was a little hoarse.

"What... what was that just now?"

"You want to learn?"

Lu Bai smiled and casually tossed the small wooden stick in his hand aside, "Let's go back to headquarters first."

The containment center, the Temporary command center post building.

A staff member sitting in front of the testing equipment suddenly exclaimed, "A high-energy reaction has been detected in zone C!"

Unfortunately, this discovery came as no surprise.

The main problem was that enormous indigo sword wave; anyone with eyes could see it, so there was no need for monitoring personnel to warn them.

Minister Zhang strode over and asked, "Can you confirm the specifics of the situation?"

To be honest, in their minds, even if the eerie things caused a big commotion, they were always gloomy and sinister; they had never seen this type of energy before.

"I've found it here."

A staff member on the other side pulled up the satellite surveillance footage and projected it onto the central screen in the lobby.

Although the image is very blurry, it is still possible to vaguely discern that a group of soldiers are firing.

Someone pointed at the screen and said uncertainly, "Isn't that Master Lu in the picture?"
