"Click... squeak!"
Jiangnan lowered his head, watching the Stainless Steel Tombstone beneath his feet being crushed bit by bit.
It eventually turned into a flat disc, and a sense of satisfaction rose within me for no apparent reason.
"Sigh... watching people worship their own tombstone, and then crushing it with my own feet..."
"This feeling is truly wonderful."
Jiangnan secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.
At this moment, Andrei and Parker, kneeling before the brazier, wore expressions of horror.
They stared at the tall figure on the tombstone, at the familiar black shirt...
"Gurgle..."
The two swallowed hard and began to tremble.
Although they knew very well that the person in front of them was the Dragon God of China.
It wasn't the monster that slaughtered them like dogs during the trials [the Scarecrow].
However, when you see this identical physique, demeanor, and imposing presence...
The horrific trauma of the trial was rekindled in their minds!
The two were so frightened that they hugged each other tightly, not even daring to breathe.
Bart, standing to the side, was equally terrified.
But he was, after all, a newcomer who had never experienced the trials and tribulations of life.
He suppressed his fear and his eyes darted around.
"No, we must report this earth-shattering intelligence to General Mike immediately!"
"The Dragon God is still alive, and right under our noses!"
He raised his hand, wanting to press the communication button on his sunglasses again.
"Whoosh!"
Just as his fingers were about to touch the sunglasses.
A gentle breeze swept by.
Jiangnan's figure flashed, and he grabbed Bart's wrist!
"You...!"
Bart's pupils contracted sharply.
That's terrifying speed!
Jiangnan remained expressionless and went straight to the point:
Where is Sullivan?
Bart's heart pounded.
He never expected that the Dragon God would suddenly descend upon the camp's primary target.
Instead of causing trouble for these Eagle Country soldiers, they came straight for Dr. Sullivan!
But Sullivan was a distinguished guest of General Mike, and it was also the reason why Bart was able to earn a high salary in the Eagle Country.
A sugar daddy who lives the high life!
If I betray him, all my wealth and glory for the rest of my life will be gone!
"I... I don't..."
Bart gritted his teeth, just about to say, albeit reluctantly, "I don't know."
However, he had only gotten halfway through his sentence.
Jiangnan had already tapped him on the forehead!
"By the words of God, my Soul Engraving, Eternal Vassal!"
Boom!
Bart froze, his eyes losing focus.
The original will has been altered.
He opened his mouth and revealed the coordinates of the underground laboratory in detail.
"They're in the cellar beneath the third supply tent on the westernmost side of the camp. The code is..."
"Shut up!!!"
Andrei and Parker were furious at the sight.
They were ordered to protect Sullivan and General Mike's personal guards!
If their stronghold is wiped out right under their noses, they'll definitely face a military court-martial when they return home!
Your family will also be affected!
Their sense of responsibility enabled them to overcome their fear of PTSD.
The two men roared and charged forward, attempting to stop Jiangnan!
Parker, in particular, with red eyes, risked his life.
They must then unleash their trump card once again, regardless of the consequences.
"Listen to my command! You demon! You mustn't..."
But he never dreamed...
Jiangnan is even faster than him!
They were even more arrogant than him!
Jiangnan had already spoken up the moment Parker uttered those two words.
"By the Emperor's decree! You are ordered... to bow your head!!!"
Boom!
Sequence 039 [Imperial Edict]!
"Bang! Bang!"
Both men's knees were slammed into the mud, their upper bodies Suppression.
He could only lower his head in humiliation, staring at the ground, unable to move an inch!
Andrei and Parker were filled with disbelief!
My mind went completely blank!
Why did this happen?!
Parker, in particular, was utterly shocked and even wondered if he was dreaming!
Jiangnan actually used his Supernatural Ability?!
It's important to know that in the Barbaric Realm, every [Sequence Supernatural Ability] is unique!
How could two people in this world possibly possess the same sequence at the same time?!
This completely defies common sense!
"Why is this happening?!"
Parker roared inwardly.
Jiangnan did not answer them.
Now that he had learned Sullivan's hiding place, he didn't want to waste another second.
"Snap."
A snap of the fingers.
"A moment is eternity."
Buzz!
The world around us loses its color, turning into a black and white painting.
Hundreds of Eagle Country soldiers, drawn by the commotion, were charging forward with guns drawn.
They were all frozen in mid-air.
In this space and time, only the Jiangnan, like butterflies flitting among flowers, moves freely among the crowds.
He didn't go on a killing spree, but only when passing by each of the Eagle Country soldiers.
I tapped them on the back of the neck.
"Clatter."
When Jiangnan stops moving, the laws of time are lifted.
The world has regained its color.
"Thump! Thump! Thump..."
In the horrified out-of-the-way corners of Andrei and Parker's eyes.
The hundreds of fully armed Eagle Country soldiers around him lay on the ground, all knocked unconscious!
The whole process took less than a second!
The two knelt on the ground, glancing at Jiangnan's retreating figure out of the corner of their eyes as he disappeared into the depths of the camp.
Until this moment...
Only then did they truly realize just how powerful and invincible the Dragon God was.
Compared to this, where one person can suppress an army...
The petty squabbles and backstabbing among high-ranking officials of various countries for their own interests.
How ridiculous and naive it all seems!
At the same time.
Inside the laboratory.
"Old Deng! What exactly did you do to me?!"
Berris, trapped inside the computer screen, tries to escape the computer by following the network cable.
Or forcibly convert your data stream back into an entity.
But no matter how hard she tried, she discovered that this seemingly ordinary computer...
Its internal network loops are like a cage!
Sullivan watched his granddaughter struggling in vain on the screen, his smile growing increasingly maniacal.
He spread his hands, revealing his trump card, which he had kept hidden for nearly a century.
"Berris, don't you find it strange that this computer can trap [Genesis]?"
Let's get to know each other again.
"My dear granddaughter, and General Mike."
"My Supernatural Ability is Sequence 092 [Creator]."
"As long as it's within my understanding and imagination."
"I can create any inanimate object I want out of thin air by consuming energy."
Upon hearing this,
General Mike, with a knife to his neck in the corner, gasped in shock!
In the minds of the entire Eagle Country high command, and even in Berris's memory, Dr. Sullivan had always been someone with an exceptionally high IQ.
A top-tier mechanic who has mastered alien technology!
No one expected that he was hiding Sequence Supernatural Ability!
Sullivan understood the shock in Mike's eyes, and he gave a cold laugh.
"General Mike, you can't be so naive as to think that with humanity's pitiful modern technology..."
"So you can just casually create these few robots capable of suppressing top-tier powerhouses, right?"
"Don't joke around."
"This world has always been a playground for the strong."
"As for you mortals whose eyes are blinded by power..."
"From beginning to end, it was nothing more than a ladder I used to climb on the path to godhood."
Then, Sullivan turned his head again and looked at Berris.
"This computer, and this laboratory, are the cages I've custom-made for you using the power of the Creator."
"I've thoroughly figured out the principles behind [Tron: Legacy] over the past decade or so."
"To put it simply, it's about transforming the soul into an electronic ghost that travels between networks and metallic media."
"Therefore, I only need to use the power of the Creator to create a device out of thin air that can completely block any signal leakage."
"A seamless instrument can trap you inside."
"For this... I used quite a lot of top-grade materials."
As Sullivan spoke, he pulled a remote control out of his pocket.
"And now... as soon as I press this button, the computer's self-destruct program will be activated."
"You, too, will be reduced to ashes and die in the intense heat, along with this pile of scrap metal."
Berris looked at the red switch and suddenly laughed in exasperation.
She stopped struggling and stared at the grandfather who had once doted on her so much, standing outside the screen.
"Old Deng, why?"
"You clearly possess such extraordinary abilities, so why did you choose to harm me?"
"I'm your own granddaughter!"
Upon hearing this question, Sullivan paused.
He reached up and touched his gray beard, then sighed.
"Actually, I didn't want to either..."
But alas, there was no time left.
"Berris, you should know..."
"How cruel the rules of this world are."
Even if we superhumans can raise our physical abilities to the elite level.
"But the maximum lifespan of humans is at most only about twice that of the average person."
"Living to 180 years old is the absolute limit."
"And I am 176 years old this year."
"Based on my own full-body data monitoring, my cell activity has declined by 88%."
"At most... at most, I can only live for one more year."
"I don't want to die! I still want to witness the glory of the Stars!"
"Therefore, I must find the path to immortality!"
Sullivan waved his hands excitedly.
"And just now, Zhang Lingqi successfully verified that theory for me."
"By killing other superhumans with similar Supernatural Ability, we can forcibly seize their Supernatural Ability!"
"If you have to blame someone, blame him. I didn't want to kill you in the first place."
"After all, you are my own granddaughter."
"So..."
Berris's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're going to kill Berris just to save your own life?"
"You killed your own granddaughter?"
"And then use the stolen [Genesis] to become an electronic ghost and eke out a living?!"
"No, no, no! Becoming a ghost probably doesn't mean you any good!"
Sullivan made no attempt to hide his madness.
But for me!
"Once I seize [Genesis], I can break free from this body and become a part of the Machine God!"
"Furthermore, I can use my knowledge to break through the undecipherable core data inside First Unit's black box!"
"At that time! I will not only achieve Mechanical Ascension, but also attain true immortality!"
"I can also lead all of humanity toward the Stars!"
"Towards the true cyber age!"
Sullivan laughed wildly, raised his thumb, and placed it on the red switch.
"And all these great achievements... are thanks to your companionship over the past ten years."
"Now, my dear granddaughter, it's time..."
"You gave your life to repay my kindness in raising you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed the switch!
"Old Deng! You're dreaming!"
Just one second before Sullivan pressed the switch!
Suddenly, Berris on the screen let out a roar!
Her question just now wasn't meant to evoke emotion in this old Madman; it was just a way to buy time!
As an electronic ghost trapped inside the machine, she was confined to those brief few minutes.
Using its own data stream, it thoroughly investigated the internal structure of this computer!
We've finally found a weakness!
[Genesis] is the top-ranking sequence 002, which is among the top three.
Its destructive power was far more terrifying than Sullivan had imagined!
"Give it to Berris, explode!!!"
Berris concentrated all her mental energy and directly reversed the structure of her data stream.
Like a human bomb, it detonated on the computer's motherboard!
"Boom!"
The explosion ripped the seamless cage apart!
The main control computer was blown to pieces!
Berris's data stream also suffered severe damage due to its forced self-destruction.
It transformed into a dim golden light and darted into the laboratory's area network!
Sullivan, despite having a superior physique.
Although not directly injured by the shrapnel from the explosion, the shockwave still forced them back several steps.
Amidst billowing smoke and dust.
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound came from behind the thick smoke, aimed straight at Sullivan's neck!
"When!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out!
Sullivan looked closely and saw a robot that should have been under his control.
At that moment, golden light was flashing in his eyes!
The high-frequency knife in its hand was being held down by two other robots!
It's obvious without even guessing that Berris, who just fled, forcibly took over this robot!
"You old Madman! Die!"
Just then, General Mike, who had been held captive in the corner, broke free of his restraints.
He pulled out a military dagger and charged at Sullivan with a roar!
"You monster! I'm going to kill you today!"
"Overestimating oneself."
Sullivan snorted coldly, not even flinching, his eyes full of mockery.
"Mike, you're just a soldier, you have no right to judge the sacrifices I've made for science!"
"Also... don't underestimate me."
"Back when I was killing people on the battlefield..."
"You f***ing idiot, you're still inside your dad's Magic Core!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Sullivan casually clenched his right fist!
[The Creator] activates!
A laser gun materialized out of thin air in his hand!
"Bang!"
He pulled the trigger, and a red laser beam struck Mike in the chest.
He was blasted away and slammed into the wall!
"General!"
Jesse exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran over to pull Mike up, trying to run out of the lab.
At this moment, Berris, who had possessed the robot, also keenly realized that the situation was not good.
I'm seriously injured now and no match for Sullivan, who has the [Creator] power. I must escape immediately!
But!
As she maneuvered the robot, attempting to crash through the wall to escape.
"When!"
The robot's sharp blade struck the laboratory wall, leaving only a white mark!
Even trying to escape using electronic ghosting didn't work!
Berris then noticed that the walls of the entire underground laboratory were made of...
It was exactly the same computer that had trapped her earlier!
They're all made of special materials capable of blocking signals!
This is Sullivan's last trump card!
This inherently suspicious old fox had long suspected that there was a very small chance that Berris would desperately try to escape.
Therefore, the entire laboratory was designed to create this deadly trap!
"It's no use, my dear granddaughter."
"Give up the futile struggle."
Sullivan walked to the center of the laboratory.
He waved his hands.
"Click-clack-click-clack!"
A dozen or so robots were created out of thin air by his [Creator] abilities.
They completely surrounded Berris, Mike, and the others, leaving no room for them to pass!
"Now, obediently hand over [Tron: Legacy] to me..."
However, Sullivan hadn't finished his confident line.
"Laugh!"
A beam of destructive light suddenly shot through the laboratory ceiling!
The beam of death light blew a hole several meters in diameter into Sullivan's dome!
Immediately afterwards, a figure fell through the large hole and crashed into the center of the laboratory!
"Who are you..."
Sullivan stared at the figure that had appeared out of nowhere, his mind racing with alarm bells.
With his exceptional intelligence, he had already matched the person to a photograph!
Kill him!
Sullivan roared and commanded more than a dozen robots around him to pounce on Jiangnan!
But Jiangnan didn't even glance at those pieces of broken copper and scrap iron.
He simply raised his right hand expressionlessly, and clenched his fist towards the charging robots!
"Myriad Metals Return to Origin! All will become my soldiers!"
[Lord of Myriad Metals]!
"Crunch, crunch!"
In Sullivan's eyes, there were the dozen or so robots he had created using the "Creator".
It was actually kneaded into a ball of iron!
The next second!
Jiangnan swung his hand back!
The metal ball, weighing several tons, slammed into Sullivan!
"Puff!"
Sullivan didn't even have time to scream before he was smashed to the ground by the metal ball.
His bones were shattered, and he was suppressed on the spot.
From the ceiling being pierced to Sullivan being instantly killed.
The entire battle ended incredibly quickly, almost too quickly!
Approaching Mike and Jesse, and Berris, who has possessed the robot.
Before they could even react to what had happened, it was all over...
