Weird Island.

High in the sky, the wind howled.

A heavily modified heavy delivery missile, trailing a fiery exhaust, tore through the fog Weird Island.

On the outside of the missile, several thick alloy chains were used to bind five figures wearing polar Combat Suit!

This is the Ice Dragon Squad Team, the most elite team of extraordinary individuals in the Su Country!

"Hurrah! To the glory of the Su Country! Cheers!"

In the howling wind, the burly vice-captain Vladimir tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of vodka, roaring excitedly.

"Those guys from China and the Eagle Country think they can seize the secrets of the Weird Island just by getting there first? Dream on!"

Despite her face being distorted by the wind, the heavy gunner Olga continued to swing her fists wildly.

"As long as our [manned missile] lands successfully, the Su Country will never fall behind in this partition of new territories!"

Scout Raluf and mechanic Noel were also laughing wildly in the gale.

For the glory of their country, they were even willing to gamble with their lives.

Of course, this all depends on having vodka.

Otherwise, even the Warrior Race, would wet their pants on missiles.

At the very front of the five people was a mixed-race youth with deep-set features, black hair, and blue eyes.

He is the captain of the Su Country Ice Dragon Squad, an ace player with half China blood.

Yekater.

"Prepare for the attack!"

He stared at the approaching black earth below and roared.

"The missile is about to disintegrate! Everyone, prepare for an emergency landing!"

The missile separated from its thruster immediately after the words were spoken.

They then fell into the Weird Island along with the thrusters!

"BOOM!!!"

Then, the warhead exploded in mid-air, engulfing the five people in flames.

The happier they were in the sky, the more devastating their fall would be.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Five figures crashed onto a dark, desolate patch of black earth.

However, the processes differ from one another.

Because of his size, Vladimir's kinetic energy during his fall was the most terrifying.

He originally thought he could make a hole in the ground on his own.

But to his utter surprise, he found himself directly beneath a steep stone forest.

Vladimir crashed right onto the tip of a cliff pillar.

The wind direction during his descent caused his body to be at an angle.

The stone pillar pierced his side and upwards, going right through his entire belly!

"Awooo!!!"

Vladimir was strung on it, hanging from the edge of the cliff, roaring.

"Old Bear!"

Next was Olga. Seeing the vice-captain's miserable state, she quickly spread her legs to adjust her posture.

It crashed into the tallest, dead tree.

With the immense impact, she was ripped apart from head to toe: crack! crack! crack!

Olga, with a flurry of sparks and lightning, parted the thousand-year-old withered tree in the middle.

But the price was high; the friction exerted itself intensely on the area between her legs.

"Hiss!"

Upon landing, Olga's face went from red to purple, then from purple to deathly pale. As for below...

Then it changed from pink to black.

In comparison, Raluf was originally in the best position among the four.

With the rationality of a scout, he found a gentle landing spot in mid-air.

When they were still several hundred meters above the ground, they deployed their parachutes.

"Bang!"

The parachutes bloomed in the mist.

Raluf's lips just curled into a smile, "Looks like my luck isn't quite there yet..."

Before the words were even finished, Weird Island!

It caught the parachute and slammed Raluf into the rock wall to the side!

Smack!

Raluf didn't even have time to protect his face before he was smothered in a starfish position against the rock face.

Then, under the influence of gravity, he slid down the vertical rock wall, landing face down on the ground.

Noel took in the horrific state of his companions.

Especially after witnessing the tragedy of Raluf being blown in the face by the wind while opening his umbrella, he came to a conclusion.

On this damned island, opening a parachute is suicide!

Noel looked down and found that he was directly below a flat area, making his landing point perfect.

A surge of heroic spirit welled up within him, and he decided not to deploy his parachute.

He wanted to put on a heroic landing for his brothers in this desperate situation!

"Hurrah!"

Noel adjusted his posture, bending one knee, extending the other leg forward, raising one arm, and making a fist with the other arm pointing towards the ground.

The perfect superhero three-point landing pose!

"Boom!"

Noel kicked up a cloud of dust.

The posture is perfect! The presence is perfect!

But the next second...

Click!

Two cracking sounds came from his knees.

Noel, who was striking a cool pose, froze on the surface.

The excruciating pain brought him back to his senses, and he suddenly remembered a fatal problem.

"Wait... I'm a mechanic! My physical abilities... are nowhere near as good as those freaks!"

Noel's kneecap shattered into powder from the impact.

He remained frozen in the hero's landing pose for two seconds in the wind...

He fell face down into the pit, and in pain, he foamed at the mouth and convulsed.

Only Yekater landed normally.

Even so, he was still feeling quite unwell.

"Cough cough..."

Yekater coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to climb out of the pit.

His armor was shattered, but thanks to his powerful physique, he barely managed to retain his fighting ability.

However, when he turned to look at his teammates, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Captain... cough cough... we can't go on..."

Vladimir, coughing up blood from the cliff above, pulled out the jade talisman with a bitter smile.

"This S-class teleportation talisman I bought from China... looks like it can only be used as a medical stretcher..."

"I'll come back after I've recovered. Wait for me for an hour!"

With injuries of this severity, forcing oneself to remain on the Weird Island would only lead to certain death.

"Sorry, Yekater... don't act rashly yet. We still have plenty of missiles. We'll be back in a bit!"

As streaks of white light flashed in the space, the four severely injured team members were forced to activate the teleportation talisman.

Filled with regret and resentment, they were forcibly teleported back to the Su Country base.

In the biting cold wind, only Yekater remained, all alone.

He remained calm and pulled out a map of the Weird Island, which he had also bought at a high price from the China military.

His pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at his surroundings.

"This is... a red-level danger zone, [The Bone-Burying Abyss]?!"

Just as he recognized the coordinates, a cracking sound suddenly came from the surrounding ruins.

Countless stark white skeletons, and zombies covered in livid mortis...

They crawled out from underground from all directions and surrounded Yekater!

"Roar!"

"You've come at the perfect time! You're just what I need to pay for the wounds of my brothers!"

Yekater roared, drew his saber from his back, and charged into the horde of corpses.

Red-level danger zones are already within the Dragon Squad's ability to handle!

He alone is enough!

With his top-notch fighting skills, he killed one enemy at a time, carving a bloody path through the sea of corpses.

But there are too many monsters!

They can't be killed all the way through, nor can they be completely eradicated!

Gradually, Yekater's physical strength began to deplete rapidly.

"There's no other way..."

Yekater kicked a giant zombie away and planted his long sword in the ground.

He clasped his hands together and chanted aloud.

"In the name of iron and blood, in the reality of ending, I hereby execute Judgment. Qiongqi, reveal yourself!"

Supernatural Ability Sequence 022 [Executor]

This was precisely what Yekater relied on!

"Roar!!!"

With a roar, a colossal creature over ten meters long descended!

Its main body is a giant, ferocious wolf, covered entirely in hard, gray-black hide.

The main head is that of a ferocious wolf with forked and twisted horns, while a withered human skull is hidden in the ribs on the side of its neck!

It has no hair, its back is covered with bone spurs, and its tail is made of dozens of dry bone whips!

The Qiongqi in its first stage possesses S-class combat power!

It can crack rock layers with just a light step.

The low-level zombies and skeletons fell in droves under Qiongqi's claws and bone whips.

Seeing Qiongqi handling the situation with ease, Yekater breathed a sigh of relief, took out a communication talisman, and prepared to report to the Su Country headquarters.

"Initial landing successful. Clearing out low-level monsters. Preparing to advance further..."

However, before he could finish speaking...

A chill ran down Yekater's spine!

"Roar!"

The sea of corpses that had been attacking frantically suddenly stopped moving.

They let out a low growl of awe, and then, like Moses parting the Sea, they retreated to both sides.

A path of white bones was cleared.

At the end of that avenue, atop a mountain made up of countless corpses, stood a figure.

He wore a worn-out Eagle Country officer's overcoat, his skin was ashen, and his eyes were lifeless.

He held a ceremonial greatsword in his hand.

Behind him stood a terrifying monster, fifteen meters tall!

It resembles a medieval Western Torture Device, with two rotating circular saws on its hands—the local boss of this area!

[Iron Maiden]!

Upon seeing the figure standing atop the mountain, Yekater's pupils trembled.

He recognized the person!

The Eagle Country once offered a high reward internationally for his photograph in an effort to find him.

That was Alhaitham, the legendary captain of the Eagle Country Dragon Squad, one of the Pioneer who explored the Weird Island years ago!

A top-tier powerhouse possessing the Sequence 059 [Lord] Supernatural Ability.

His ability is to mark creatures with lower physical strength or severe injuries than himself with a servant mark, forcing them to fight!

According to intelligence, Alhaitham was seriously injured by the Principal the No-Self Society, the ninth seat of the Desolate God Society, at Rose Middle School and then disappeared.

Unexpectedly, he appeared in the Bone-Burying Abyss!

"Roar..."

At that moment, Alhaitham was also looking at the intruder.

He is no longer human, but a monster, and also the king of the Bone-Burying Abyss.

Years ago, after escaping Rose Middle School, he stumbled upon the Bone-Burying Abyss.

However, after being attacked by the boss Iron Maiden, they turned into zombies.

Finally, he transformed into a monster and used his [Lord] Supernatural Ability to enslave the Iron Maiden and the tens of thousands of undead here!

At the summit of the mountain.

Alhaitham raised his right arm, the ceremonial greatsword in his hand pointing directly at Yekater below.

There were no superfluous words, only the purest command to kill.

"Oh no! That's the Sovereign Sword!"

Yekater was on high alert. The [Sovereign Sword] was Alhaitham's top-grade Spirit Artifact, capable of amplifying his slaves!

"Buzz!"

As the amplifying aura of the Sovereign Sword rippled outwards, the previously sluggish horde of zombies went berserk.

The fifteen-meter-tall Iron Maiden, wielding its circular saw, charged towards Qiongqi!

"BOOM!!!"

Sparks flew everywhere!

The Iron Maiden's circular saw cut into the Qiongqi's withered bone and rock armor, producing a screeching sound.

Under the enhancement of Alhaitham [Lord]'s abilities.

Qiongqi, which was invincible in the first stage, is now being Suppression and forced to retreat!

"I can't hold on any longer!"

As the petrified armor on Qiongqi began to crumble, Yekater gritted his teeth.

"Looks like we have no choice but to use that move!"

The Executor role is divided into three phases.

The first stage summons Qiongqi.

The second stage requires a determination of guilt.

If the target is guilty, Qiongqi will be upgraded and its secondary skeleton warrior will be activated to punish the target!

If the innocence is confirmed, the activation will fail; if it is forcibly activated, something terrifying will happen...

Three stages...

He didn't know how to use it, nor did he want to know.

Because two stages are enough!

"The moment of judgment! The time of punishment! Phase two! Now!"

Yekater stared at Alhaitham atop the mountain and activated his Supernatural Ability once more.

However...

Nothing happened!

[Target Determination: Not guilty.]

[Unable to trigger the punishment mechanism; Phase 2 failed to start!]

"What?!"

Yekater's back was soaked with cold sweat.

He stared blankly at the zombie king, who was covered in an aura of death, while information about Alhaitham flashed through his mind.

During his lifetime, the other party was the most devout and selfless Knight in the Eagle Country!

His moral standards are renowned as impeccable nationwide!

She even refused [Aiyinpotan]'s invitation to go to [Big Sister Island]!

He's a saint!

Even after becoming a zombie, there wasn't a single evil thought in his soul that could be judged as sinful!

"What a joke... a zombie who became the King of the Weird is actually an innocent person?!"

Yekater let out a bitter laugh.

If we can't win, we can only run!

Yekater immediately reached into his pocket for the teleportation talisman.

However, this jade talisman has a fatal flaw.

To successfully locate a spatial anchor point, one must disengage from combat and remain still for several seconds without any interference.

In that half-second of his hesitation...

"Creak!"

The fifteen-meter-tall Iron Maiden suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Its body split into four pieces from the middle, enveloping the Qiongqi that couldn't dodge in time.

Countless steel spikes pierced deep into Qiongqi's body!

"Roar!!!"

Qiongqi let out a terrible scream, and blood gushed out.

"No!!!"

Seeing Qiongqi about to be crushed, Yekater's eyes turned bloodshot, and he went mad!

"Since there's no one guilty... then force it open!!!"

Yekater bit his tongue, recklessly reversing his Supernatural Ability!

"Crack, crack..."

With the sound of bones cracking, a chaotic, supreme-level pressure erupted from Qiongqi's body, and began to grow stronger and stronger!

It broke free from the Iron Maiden's spikes, and the withered, human-shaped skull on its neck.

It swelled at this moment and detached from the Qiongqi's body.

It transformed into a skeletal warrior wielding the [Punishment Bow]!

However, the price of forcibly opening it is devastating.

The rampaging Qiongqi completely lost its mind. It turned its head and bit down on the Iron Maiden.

It engaged in indiscriminate biting and tearing at the surrounding zombies.

The newly formed elite skeleton warrior's empty eye sockets ignited with soul fire.

It didn't look at Alhaitham in the distance, but stiffly turned around and drew back the Punishment Bow.

The sharp bone arrow locked onto its master, Yekater!

This is the price of forcibly activating the second phase!

The consequences of forcibly enforcing justice!

He was killed and replaced by justice!

It will devour its master!

It wants to peel off Yekater's human skin and drape it over its own withered bones!

Sensing the deadly killing intent, Yekater retreated, facing the Grim Reaper he had summoned, his chances of survival slim.

And on the distant mountain peaks.

Looking at the rampaging and out-of-control Qiongqi, Alhaitham raised the Sovereign Sword in his hand.

He leaped down from the mountaintop and charged towards the ferocious beast that had gone mad!

But in the next moment...

On another mountain peak, unnoticed by anyone, three figures shrouded in mist were overlooking the battlefield below.

The black-clad youth who was leading the group took two steps forward and arrived at the edge of the cliff.

He raised his hands, clasped them together in front of his chest, then extended his index and middle fingers forward and pulled them outwards to the sides!

"Yama Holds Court; those who have committed crimes, come forth and see him..."

"Your Shadow... is stronger than you!"

"Boom!!!"

Within a spherical space with a radius of one kilometer, centered on the cliff where Jiangnan is located.

The entire world was forcibly dragged into the abyss of hell in an instant!

The originally gloomy sky turned crimson!

Bronze pillars suddenly rose from the ground all around!

A chilling wind howled, and ghosts wailed!

The Abyss has transformed into a solemn and terrifying underworld palace!

In the battlefield below.

The skeletal warrior, whose [Punishment Bow] was fully drawn and about to shoot Yekater dead, froze.

"Whoosh!"

Before it could even release the bowstring, an even thicker, dark bone arrow shot out from the Shadow beneath its feet!

It pierced the skeleton warrior's wrist and shattered the longbow in its hand!

"What?!"

Yekater was prepared to fight to the death, was shocked.

In the shadows illuminated by blood beneath the skeleton warrior's feet.

A [Shadow Skeleton Warrior] is crawling out of the ground!

It also wielded a Shadow Punishment Bow, and its aura was even 5% stronger than its true form!

"Roar!!!"

Not far away, the rampaging Qiongqi that was tearing apart the zombies also let out a terrified roar.

Because beneath its belly was an even larger Shadow Qiongqi.

It has silently pounced out from its Shadow!

The shadowy Qiongqi opened its blood-red maw and bit down on the main body's throat, pinning it to the ground.

It began a one-sided crushing and tearing apart!

Meanwhile, the fifteen-meter-tall local boss, Iron Maiden, was also not spared.

"Crunch, crunch..."

With a metallic creaking sound, a Shadow Iron Maiden, towering more than half a head tall, rose from the Shadow.

They used even more violent methods, pressing the main body against the mountain rock and cutting it!

Not only these top-tier monsters, but also any zombies and skeletons within the entire [Hall of Yama] that have been tainted by killing and sin.

From beneath their feet crawled out shadow clones that were stronger and more ruthless than the originals, possessing the same combat skills!

In the blink of an eye, the originally one-sided siege battlefield turned into a one-sided massacre of the main body by the Shadow!

"What... what is this...?"

Yekater stared blankly at the monsters around him being torn apart by his own Shadow, completely unaware of what had happened.

On the other side...

Holding the Sovereign Sword, Alhaitham, who was originally preparing to kill the Qiongqi, stopped in his tracks.

He looked down at his feet.

Nothing happened.

In this Yama's Palace of Judgment, where sins are judged, only beneath the feet of Alhaitham, among all the monsters, lies a still, tranquil scene.

[Innocence Immunity]!

Alhaitham raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thick fog, finally settling on the distant mountains.

There, three figures stood silently.

Jiangnan stood with his hands in his trench coat pockets, gazing down at the Abyss that had transformed into a living hell...

Fighting...

This is just the beginning.
