A Cloud of Smoke Poured In Through the Pipes

"Useless, a bunch of useless trash."

City No. 8 Lord, smashed everything on the table.

He obtained the surveillance footage from the building where the Divine Scion were hidden.

The other party was very bold; this time, they ignored the surveillance cameras from the very beginning and appeared openly under their surveillance.

The City No. 8 Lord had deployed a large force, with several hundred men guarding the area, armed with powerful weapons and wearing the most protective armor.

Mortars, laser projectiles, heavy machine guns, and even a dozen or so heavy artillery pieces were used for defense.

Let alone one person, even a well-equipped army would probably have a hard time breaking through such a tight defense.

Moreover, the walls there are made of an alloy with extremely strong defensive capabilities, even able to withstand artillery bombardment.

The City No. 8 Lord couldn't understand why those people couldn't even hold out until the message came out, allowing him to send reinforcements.

By the time he received the news, his side had been completely wiped out, the Divine Scion had been captured, and the enemy had vanished without a trace.

City No. 3 Lord also rushed over after receiving the news. "That guy's here?"

The City No. 8 Lord said sorrowfully, "Yes, he came, and he even stole the Divine Scion."

The City No. 3 Lord found it strange. The Divine Scion in his city were stolen because it was done by surprise; the defenses there weren't that tight to begin with.

However, the City No. 8 Lord, having received advance intelligence, had moved the Divine Scion from their original locations to other, more concealed and better-defended places in the other cities.

How could it possibly be taken away by someone else?

So he watched the surveillance footage with City No. 8 Lord.

The videotape is turned on and the surveillance footage begins to play.

First layer.

Many guards, armed with heavy weapons and wearing armor, patrolled back and forth there.

They divided into several teams to patrol in a cross-regional manner, leaving no blind spots or gaps.

Obviously, even if a mouse wanted to get in, it wouldn't be so easy.

However, the enemy arrogantly charged straight in from the front.

The guards spotted the intruders and opened fire.

The dense barrage of bullets and gunfire could turn an intruder into a pile of minced meat.

But then something strange happened.

The bullets and shells, just as they were about to hit the intruder, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

It was as if some unseen force was stopping their advance.

Then, they watched helplessly as the bullets and shells were split in two by an unknown force in mid-air, turning into scrap metal.

The City No. 3 Lord and City No. 8 Lord were dumbfounded.

The guards who were fighting the intruders became increasingly frightened, even to the point of terror.

Even though their superiors had told them that their enemies were humans with special abilities, they still couldn't help but feel a sense of fear rising from the depths of their hearts after witnessing these bizarre and incomprehensible abilities firsthand.

Bullets and shells couldn't hit the other side.

How can we fight like this?

How can we defeat such an enemy?

City No. 8 Lord: "Is this the special power he controls?"

"I didn't expect it could even defend against bullets and shells."

The City No. 3 Lord nodded. Although he was shocked, he was not as terrified as before after seeing this scene.

"Ha, he still managed to stop those bullets."

The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.

Since the other side managed to block the bullets and shells, it means they were still afraid of being hit by bullets and shells.

Unlike the Divine Scion, which couldn't be harmed even by direct cannon fire, this was what truly left them helpless.

Skywing's actions precisely prove that the other party is a human being with weaknesses.

"If you can't win a direct confrontation, then use long-range tactics. Have a sniper hide in the shadows and snipe him, or poison him."

"If we push him too far, we'll just throw a missile at his head. I don't believe he can defend against it forever."

If the opponent makes even one mistake, they will be killed.

People die when they are killed; can the perpetrator possibly come back to life and take revenge?

The City No. 8 Lord shared all this information with the other city lords, saying that the other party was likely to go to other cities next, and that they should be prepared.

City No. 3 Lord: "I had originally planned many backup plans. I intended to find his hideout in City No. 4 and send someone to assassinate him, but he left. As a result, all my backup plans were useless."

City No. 8 Lord said, "Didn't a new force called the Skywing Alliance emerge on your side? These backup plans won't be useless against them."

The other city lords, upon receiving this intelligence, quickly put it to use.

Because Skywing A went to another city.

The entire defenses of City No. 5 were wiped out.

They still couldn't stop the opponent.

Upon arriving at City 2, the city lord only symbolically deployed a few people at the entrance.

After dealing with the people at the entrance, Skywing A stepped into the place.

He sensed the location of the strange entity slightly, and was grateful that it was in the final stages of its advancement, emitting a much stronger strange energy than before.

Otherwise, just finding where they are would take some effort.

As for how to accurately locate their positions?

If it were any other Contract Anomalist, it would probably take a lot of time, or they might choose to go directly to the city lord and force the location of the strange creature out of him.

But Skywing A doesn't need that; the moment he steps into the city, the wind carries to him the voices of everyone in the city.

A wealth of intelligence information flowed into his ears.

Once you've spoken to someone, you can't hide it from him.

So he located the strange entity's location directly, and once he got near it, he was able to sense the eerie energy emanating from it.

"Huh?"

This time, upon entering this heavily guarded place, Skywing A sensed something was wrong; there were even fewer guards than at the central building in City No. 3.

There was only one person stopping them at the entrance; there was no one inside.

They were all equipped with trigger-activated mechanical weapons.

Skywing A dodged several traps, as well as Gatling guns, bullet walls, lasers, and other projectiles that appeared on the walls.

I used wind blades to clear a path, destroying all the mechanical weapons the moment they met, and then I went on a speedrun through these levels.

It gave Skywing a sense of excitement, like playing a level-based game.

When he stepped into the room with the most intense eerie energy, the room was surprisingly quiet. There were no traps or mechanisms, and no weapons emerged from the walls or fell from the ceiling.

However, the No. 2 city lord, who had been watching this area closely, revealed a confident smile.

"Very good, he was indeed completely unprepared."

Skywing A University approached the container holding the Divine Scion, which was placed in the very center.

Suddenly, many iron pipes appeared on the wall.

A plume of smoke poured in from the pipe.

Toxic fumes even filled the entire building.
