Inside the hall, filled with a metallic, futuristic visual effect, only a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle stood before the enormous machine that reached the ceiling.
He secretly connected his personal computer to the machine and started operating it quickly.
He gritted his teeth and growled, "What a fucking piece of trash! He got such a huge license and still got killed???"
I typed on the keyboard several times.
Look up and look around.
Make sure no one is paying attention to our side.
He gently wiped the sweat from his neck.
He lowered his head and continued working, grinding his molars while muttering curses under his breath.
"Useless thing!"
"I wasn't really expecting you to get rid of the bedbugs; I was just hoping to buy some time or annoy them."
"And he couldn't even handle something this simple! And then he fucking kicked the bucket!"
"If I violate regulations by performing a special reset, and the higher-ups find out, they'll definitely stop it again, and might even accuse me of incompetence or abusing my power!"
"As expected, all those born from the metaconscious are useless! Trash!"
The Mediterranean man only stopped cursing after he finished operating the device and shut it down.
He glanced around again to make sure no one was watching, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the fine sweat from his face and head, calmed himself down, and left the hall as if nothing had happened.
Five Regions Academy of the Eastern Continent.
Lu Ci, the former top team of the First Consortium and the number one Tower Climber in the continent for a long time before Wang Wen, disappeared after the ten major conglomerates brought about their own destruction.
People's impression of him is limited to the word "once".
Unexpectedly, this former king has reappeared and so decisively annihilated the powerful enemy invading from the Western Continent!
Those near the gate, including the Tower Climber who came to reinforce Universal Love, and the priests from the Western Continent, all froze.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Both sides were somewhat distracted.
On the Eastern Continent side, the situation was changing too rapidly, and their emotions were fluctuating wildly, making it difficult to react.
The Western Continent side was incredulous that their powerful High Priest had simply vanished, and was somewhat at a loss.
A few scattered priests rubbed their eyes and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, peering into the white mist to try and see what was inside.
The movement immediately alerted the surrounding "masses" of the Eastern Continent.
The remaining three members of Mi Lailai's squad, without even having time to mourn A Nan, attacked the priest blocking the door.
They needed to rush into the Academy as fast as possible to rescue their captain.
Without the support of the high priest in red robes, the remaining lesser priests appeared rather weak and were easily slaughtered by the many Tower Climber were Universal Love.
Occasionally, mid-level priests in brown robes would attempt to organize a defense, but they would be scattered by members of Mi Lailai's squad.
The only high priest in black robes brandished his bluish-gray energy with a ferocious expression.
Before the Red-Robed High Priest was "scolded" by A Nan, he had killed or maimed countless Tower Climber with his strange bluish-gray energy.
They were the main force that blocked external reinforcements from Universal Love in the area around the Academy gate.
At this point, he decided to try and turn the tide single-handedly.
Before they could even make a move...
Aside from Lu Ci, the other four "former kings" stood before him.
A black-robed priest like him could be easily subdued by Li He alone Dean's Office.
Now it's four against one.
Perhaps Lu Ci's team isn't as individually strong as Li He's, but the combined power they can unleash is definitely among the best in the entire continent.
Facing such a "king team" is not a pleasant experience for anyone.
No one knows what the black-robed priest is feeling right now.
Because he was completely overwhelmed by Lu Ci's team the moment he tried to make a move.
While the outer circle was bustling with fighting, Lu Ci, in the inner circle, ignored the small fry around him.
He knew very well that as long as he dealt with the big boss, the other minor characters would naturally be no threat, and plenty of people would handle them; he didn't need to worry about them.
A Nan, who was "annihilated," was considered his half-disciple. A Nan had also learned the "combination technique" that used supernatural skills and World Tower items, but unfortunately he was not proficient enough and left too many gaps for the enemy to exploit.
It's important to know that Lu Ci's constantly refined set of moves was always aimed at Wang Wen.
The extraordinary techniques used for binding and cover, the props for deadly attacks—many of these new moves were originally intended for Wang Wen.
As it turns out, it was used on the High Priest of the Western Continent today.
Lu Ci felt helpless.
There was no other way; fighting Wang Wen was merely a contest, while the invasion from the Western Continent was a foreign invasion, and the relative importance of the two was obvious.
He couldn't stand idly by and let personal grudges get in the way at such a crucial moment.
If we really want to fight, let's wait until we've defeated the enemy.
Lu Ci waved his hand to disperse the white mist and cautiously approached the location where the red-robed high priest had been affected.
Many people in the vicinity followed his movements with their eyes.
Only when they saw the bloody, mangled fragments on the ground did the people from the Eastern Continent finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Ci let out a breath.
I looked up and around.
In this area near the Academy gate, only a few scattered groups of priests from the Western Continent remained, stubbornly resisting in their final struggle.
Their faces were either filled with despair, or contorted with rage and madness.
But ultimately, defeat was inevitable.
Lu Ci shook his head and had his four teammates help him deal with the last few priests blocking his way. He then went into the Academy first and headed towards the Dean's Office. There were still a considerable number of brown-robed and black-robed priests there who posed a certain threat, and the seriously injured the Academy staff also needed to be treated as soon as possible.
As members of the "King's Squad," the four team members could instantly defeat even a high priest in black robes, let alone a few struggling minions.
They all took action and defeated the stubborn elements.
Just as everyone was rushing towards the Academy Dean's office, filled with the joy of victory.
The pool of flesh and blood that Lu Ci had just stepped over suddenly began to move.
It's not the kind of peristalsis that occurs in biological cells.
Instead, it is pieced together and restored as if building blocks were assembled one by one.
He merely blinked.
The red-robed high priest, who had been cut into pieces by Lu Ci, was now standing perfectly fine in the same spot.
Even the robe, torn to shreds, was restored to its original state.
This scene caused the expressions of the Eastern Continent personnel present to change drastically.
Lu Ci frowned, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand again, releasing white mist that enveloped the red robe.
But the high priest in red robes seemed oblivious, simply standing quietly with his eyes closed as if listening to something.
The next second.
Enveloped in white mist.
Lu Ci used the same trick again, flicking the imperceptible fine threads into the white mist before forcefully tightening them.
The emptiness he felt at the tip of the filament sent a shiver down his spine.
The high priest in red robes stepped casually out of the white mist, glanced at the thin thread in his hand, and chuckled softly, "Trying to kill me twice with the same move? You're underestimating me."
