The Advantage Is Mine!
GOC headquarters.
Everyone fell silent as they looked at the three angels with their tattered wings remaining.
"And what is that dog?"
"The Nine-Tailed Fox has not provided us with any information about the canine-shaped Containment Object. It should be a new Containment Object, or... it is possible that it is something created by the Nine-Tailed Fox."
"Are you sure you haven't found that dog?"
"No, in the crater, we only found a tuft of charred hair, nothing else."
"Damn it, contact Qin Leng right now! We need to know what that dog is!"
Shortly after, a string of encrypted messages came from the Nine-Tailed Fox.
After deciphering the encrypted message, the GOC members obtained a sentence and an emoticon.
Qin Leng: I'm not telling you!
╮(￣⊿￣)╭
"That old scoundrel!"
"Damn it, that bastard Nine-Tailed Fox tricked us!"
"No, I can't swallow this!"
"What else can we do? The angel has lost its ability to fight, so even if we want to compete for 008, we can't."
"How are things on the angels' side? How long will it take for them to recover?"
"Hmm... the situation with the angels isn't so optimistic."
"Be more specific!"
"The angel is currently asleep, and we have tried to wake him, but all our attempts have failed."
"The good news is that the angel is slowly healing itself, but there is no sign that the angel's wings are recovering."
"In other words, even if the angels were to awaken again, it would probably take some time for them to grow back to normal."
"Given the current rate of angelic recovery, it may take nearly a month for the angel to barely recover to the point where he can awaken."
"A month is too late..."
"Actually, I have an idea."
"Um?"
What are your thoughts?
"To put it another way, even if the Nine-Tailed Fox successfully contain 008, they still have to pass through our checkpoint."
"You mean, detain 008?"
"Is it possible?"
"That's possible. In the worst-case scenario, we might have to face off against the main force of the Nine-Tailed Fox."
"But if all goes well, we can take down 008 with minimal casualties without even fighting him!"
"Indeed, if we were only dealing with the Nine-Tailed Fox, the number of casualties would be much smaller than if we were dealing with 008."
"After all, Nine-Tailed Fox are still human beings."
"Humans are much easier to deal with than monsters."
On the other side, in Asia.
Nine-Tailed Fox Headquarters.
Qin Leng was listening to the report on the operation. "Not bad, 011 did a great job this time. Get a bonus when you get back."
As he spoke, Qin Leng took out a list.
"If we can find the remaining Chaos Splitter, it might even be possible to reclaim the original Nine-Tailed Fox headquarters."
To reclaim the original Nine-Tailed Fox headquarters, we must challenge the Queen Bee.
The Queen Bee controls a large number of Containment Object that split off from the original 009.
Some of them are useless, but some are extremely dangerous, such as killer fans.
If you just cut off its power and throw it outside, sooner or later it will kill all living things on Earth.
No, that's not accurate. That killer fan doesn't seem to attack monsters or Containment Object like itself.
Even if some Containment Object walk up to it on their own, the electric fan will avoid them.
Given the current situation there, Qin Leng can only seal off the area around the former Nine-Tailed Fox base to prevent anyone from getting close.
The situation is equally troublesome for 002 the Fishman.
They retreated to the deep sea, and finding him there would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Even if they could find it, they might not be able to defeat it.
The use of thermal or nuclear weapons in the ocean is now strictly prohibited because humans cannot afford to pollute the ocean any further.
The ocean can no longer withstand human agitation.
If those Fishman drink too much of the nuclear wastewater, it will be even more troublesome if they mutate again.
"Given the current situation, dealing with any Containment Object is extremely difficult, or rather, there's simply no way to begin."
"But... someone has to do it."
"Give up just because it's difficult? Sorry, my ancestors never taught me that."
Qin Leng looked at the list in his hand and moved his finger down. "Nightmare and Beast of a Thousand Throats have been found. Next up is 010, the Clown."
By learning about the Joker, we know that his real name is Arthur Morgan, and he is a foreigner.
Using the excuse of finding Qianhou and Mengyan to find him is unrealistic.
Qin Leng's reason for seeking out her nightmares was that the government would protect her after graduation.
Qin Leng's reason for bringing back the Beast of a Thousand Throats was that we had already retrieved the Nightmare, so you don't need to worry about it getting out of control.
And the people we're asking you to deal with will definitely not be human.
Thus, Qin Leng brought back the two Chaos Splitter.
But the Joker is different. First, he's not in the country, and second, he's a different nationality. This difference makes persuasion much more difficult.
Secondly, the Joker has some mental issues, and it's difficult for normal people to follow his thought process.
These are all challenges.
Meanwhile, in New York.
The five princes' plan succeeded; they successfully instigated a conflict between Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and GOC (God of War).
But they didn't expect that the angels would be the first to go down.
"From this perspective, the threat posed by the Nine-Tails and Chaos is far greater than that of the angels."
"Plans really do always go awry. We were all prepared for a life-or-death battle with the angels, but they just withdrew."
"This only shows that the Nine-Tails and Chaos also have trump cards up their sleeves."
The princes were talking, but Prince Feren seemed somewhat distracted.
Just two days ago, his marquis returned and told him that the duke that Lilith had transformed into had vanished into thin air.
Yes, such a big person just suddenly disappeared.
This is truly baffling.
And this morning, that person came back.
Feren watched Lilith talking to someone and fell into deep thought; she shouldn't have this ability.
Blood Clan don't have the ability to make people disappear into thin air, so... is this the duke's own ability?
"We need to find a way to figure this out."
Night falls on the streets of Queens.
After a fruitless search, Li Heng began to contemplate life at the train station.
Meanwhile, the blond marquis who had been chasing him earlier approached silently.
Sensing his presence, Li Heng suddenly said:
"You're here?"
The Marquis was taken aback for a moment. "Oh, not bad. You were able to spot me. It seems you're starting to get used to your abilities."
Li Heng stood up. "It's all thanks to you."
The blond marquis laughed. "Really? Since I helped you with something, could you do me a favor in return?"
"Could you please..."
"To die!"
Having said that, the Marquis instantly attacked Li Heng and threw out a blood-stained blade!
Seeing this, Li Heng slit his wrist, and his blood gushed out, turning into a blood sword. The blood blade and the blood sword instantly clashed together!
As a result, the Blood Blade shattered instantly!
The Marquis was taken aback.
How is that possible?
How could he learn blood manipulation in such a short time?
It's important to know that learning to control blood is very difficult. Normal Blood Clan, whether princes or dukes, would need at least half a month to fully master their abilities!
If we're just talking about mastering blood manipulation, even the most talented person the blond marquis had ever seen took a week to achieve it!
But it's only been two days since Li Heng was transformed!
How is it possible to learn to control blood in such a short time?
The Marquis immediately retreated, creating distance between himself and Li Heng.
The reason he dared to kill the Duke as a marquis was because he knew that Li Heng had only recently been transformed and had not yet mastered any of his abilities, nor had he ever drunk blood!
He doesn't even have Blood Power. Let alone a marquis, even a viscount could bully him.
But things are different now!
"Okay, let's assume he learned blood manipulation in such a short time, but he's definitely not proficient. I was careless just now."
"As for Blood Power, even if he has drunk blood, he should have only recently learned how to convert Blood Power, so I am still stronger in Blood Power."
"Overall, the advantage lies with me!"

I was sick and got an injection at the hospital yesterday, so I took a sick day.
