The early morning sun penetrated the clouds above New York, coating the entire city with a golden glow.
But for billions of viewers around the world at this moment, it doesn't matter whether it's dawn or not.
Because everyone's eyes are focused on one place, Global Summit.
This is the first time in human history that eleven UR Contract Spirits have gathered together.
This is not only a gathering, but also the strongest voice sent by mankind to the monsters lurking in Abyss.
UR Contract Spirit is the symbol of mankind's strongest fighting power, the spiritual belief of countless people, and the most solid barrier against monster invasion.
Behind every UR Contract Spirit, it represents the hope of a country, a region, and even the entire human race.
Therefore, when the news of the start of the summit spread around the world, almost everyone stopped what they were doing.
Pedestrians on the street stop in front of shop windows, customers in cafes stare at the screens on the wall, and people in subway cars hold up their mobile phones.
Countless pairs of eyes, through the screens of televisions, computers, and mobile phones, are quietly waiting for the countdown to end.
"There are still ten minutes until Global Summit opens."
On the TV screen, the eye-catching countdown numbers kept beating, touching the hearts of every viewer.
Some people clenched their fists in front of the screen, some were so nervous that their palms became sweaty, and some simply held their breath.
Of course, some people are not concerned about the fate of mankind, but more "practical" issues.
"Is Xia Yuan's bald head okay? Yesterday I saw him fighting Rain God, and it felt like that."
"What do you mean it's just like that? Didn't you see that Water God's Sword was scattered with one punch? That's Rain God's signature skill!"
"But that's Rain God, not War God or M Superman. If we replace those two, how many moves can Xia Yuan do?"
"Does anyone really think that Rain God is not strong even though he is an idol? I will laugh at him for two and a half years!!"
"I think Xia Yuan is overrated. A newcomer is a newcomer. How can it be compared to those veteran URs?"
"Fart! Xia Yuan conquered six World-Class Wanted Boss by himself! Do you have that record?"
"That's because the other UR Contract Spirit didn't fight. If War God did, he would still be able to fight in seconds!"
"Haha, fans of Xia Yuan are starting to brag again."
"..."
On the Internet, the debate about the strength of UR Contract Spirit has already heated up.
As a new UR, Xia Yuan has naturally become the focus of controversy.
Some people firmly believe that he is the strongest human being, some think that he is just lucky, and some simply think that Envy's record is too dazzling.
But no matter what the outside world said, the atmosphere inside the summit venue was unusually calm.
Outside the venue, security measures have been implemented to the extreme.
There are three layers of protective circles, with hundreds of fully armed security personnel and SSR Contract Spirit stationed on each layer.
Anyone entering the venue must go through at least five identity verifications, including fingerprints, iris, spiritual energy fluctuations, etc.
Even representatives from various countries are no exception.
Such strict review and sky-high ticket fees have deterred countless people.
But even so, there was still a dense crowd gathered outside the venue.
They look ordinary, but in fact each one of them is a well-known figure in the local area.
Some are CEOs of multinational companies, some are professors from well-known universities, and some are retired SSR Contract Spirit teachers...
These people are willing to accept the strictest scrutiny and spend sky-high prices to buy tickets just to get a close look at UR Contract Spirit.
Even though the conditions were so harsh, the crowd at the scene was growing and the atmosphere was as fiery as a carnival.
"Look! Someone is coming out!"
I don't know who shouted, and the crowd instantly became excited.
At the entrance of the venue, the heavy alloy door slowly opened.
Feng Luan was the first to come out.
She was wearing a fiery red dress, and the hem of the skirt swayed gently with her steps, as if there were flames flowing under the material.
Her waist-length red hair shines in the sun, with a hint of pride in her eyebrows and a faint smile on her lips.
"Feng Luan! Feng Luan!" The crowd burst into deafening cheers.
Countless mobile phones were raised, flashes flashing like stars.
Feng Luan nodded slightly as a response, then calmly Earth Flow walked towards the display area in the center of the venue.
Immediately afterwards, Rain God walked out slowly.
Today she changed into a lavender dress, her long dark blue hair was tied into an elegant bun, and the water drop marks between her eyebrows shone.
The appearance of Rain God made the temperature of the entire venue seem to drop a bit, and there was a faint sense of moisture in the air.
"Sir Rain God! Master Rain God!" The fans' screams almost lifted the roof.
Rain God smiled and waved to the crowd, his dark blue eyes scanning the crowd with a natural charm.
Then came Owlman, still wearing the black suit, with a dark gray cloak hanging behind him, and a bat-shaped mask covering most of his face.
He did not greet the crowd like others, but walked silently, his steps so light that they seemed weightless.
But even so, those Gotham City people still shouted fanatically.
"Owlman! The guardian of Gotham City!"
"Owlman Master! We love you!"
Owlman's footsteps paused slightly, his eyes under the mask swept across the crowd, and finally nodded slightly.
Doctor is wearing the iconic white lab coat, with gray hair, and his eyes behind the glasses are staring at the screen of the tablet in his hand.
But even so, he still has fans.
"Doctor! Science madman Doctor!"
"Doctor! I am your fan! I am also studying the combination of spiritual power and machinery!"
Doctor waved his hand in response without raising his head, and then quickly walked to the technical area.
UR Contract Spirit appeared one after another, and the cheers from the audience never stopped.
Finally, Xia Yuan appeared.
He still wore the khaki suit, with a shiny bald head, and the paper-thin cloak draped behind him.
The dead fish's eyes were half-squinted, his hands were in the pockets of his cloak, and he looked like a salty fish who hadn't woken up.
But the moment he appeared, the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
"Xia Yuan! It's Xia Yuan!"
"Abyss God! Abyss God NB!"
"Great Xia UR! Xia Yuan! Xia Yuan!"
Cheers came and went, even covering the voices of everyone before.
Xia Yuan Earth Flow was expressionless, and his bald head reflected a holy halo in the sunlight.
Mo Shiyu followed him, wearing a simple white suit and her long hair tied into a ponytail.
Such formal attire made her move a little restricted, but she didn't feel much discomfort.
Participating in many large-scale events has already tempered her mind and she will not be nervous on the spot.
The global live broadcast started simultaneously, and the number of viewers on major platforms soared by millions per second.
On the screen, barrages in various languages scrolled crazily.
"Coming, coming! Xia Yuan appears!"
"Is that bald head really Xia Yuan? Doesn't it look too ordinary?"
"Ordinary? What do you know! That's returning to nature!"
"Great Xia Come on! Xia Yuan Come on!"
"United States is number one! Come on M Superman!"
"War God is invincible! Long live Sun!"
"..."
Various barrages filled the screen, making it dizzying.
Eleven UR Contract Spirit entered the venue one after another, in no particular order. This was specially arranged by the Spirit Tamer Alliance.
The host stood on a high platform in the center of the venue, and his voice spread to every corner through the loudspeaker equipment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, audience friends from all over the world! Welcome to Global Summit!"
The host's voice is loud and passionate, and every word carries power.
"Today is a landmark day in human history!"
"Eleven UR Contract Spirit gather together, this is a rare event in many years!"
"They are the symbol of mankind's strongest fighting power, our strongest backing against monsters, and the belief of all of us!"
"Now, let us welcome them with the warmest applause!"
Boom!!!
The whole place burst into applause like Thunderclap, and even the audience outside the venue also applauded.
Eleven UR Contract Spirit stepped onto the high platform one after another and stood in a row.
Feng Luan, Rain God, Owlman, Doctor, Xia Yuan, Haotian, Kuang Lan, M Superman, Undying Hero, War God, Angel.
The eleven figures represent the highest combat power of mankind.
The host began to introduce each Contract Spirit with great emotion.
"Feng Luan! The incarnation of fire, her flames can burn all evil!"
"Rain God! The goddess of water, her singing can make heavy rain fall!"
"Owlman! The guardian of Gotham City, the hunter in the shadows!"
"Doctor! Science madman, the founder of modern technology!"
"..."
"Xia Yuan! Great Xia's new star, new UR Contract Spirit, One-Punch Man!"
When Xia Yuan's name was read, the audience cheered again.
Xia Yuan stood there expressionless, without even blinking.
Next to him, Kuang Lan snorted coldly and turned away, looking like he didn't want to talk to him.
Xia Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to her. He also snorted coldly and turned to look to the other side.
The look of the two of them made Mo Shiyu secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, at least there was no direct quarrel.
According to the previous agreement, etiquette must be maintained during the meeting and no violence should be allowed.
Everyone adheres to this very well.
Even Undying Hero stood solemnly, with his hands on his sides, his expression serious, and he looked like a gentleman.
Of course, as long as he doesn't speak, his perverted nature will not be exposed.
War God stood next to Undying Hero, the golden battle armor Gilgamesh glowed in the sun.
He just gave Xia Yuan a warning look, as if to say don't cause trouble, and then regained his composure.
To outsiders, the whole team looks so harmonious that it looks like a family.
As the host finished his introduction, the salute sounded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ribbons fell from the sky and colorful pieces of paper flew in the air, decorating the entire venue like a festival.
Everyone walked into the huge conference hall one by one.
This place is already filled with representatives and Contract Spirit Master from all over the world.
Usually, SSR Contract Spirit is the absolute protagonist wherever he goes, but today, they all become supporting actors.
Even in the eyes of many people, SSR Contract Spirit is not worthy of attention at all.
Because today's protagonists are only the eleven UR Contract Spirit.
Eleven UR Contract Spirit took their seats one after another. Their positions were in the front row and the center of the hall.
No one has an opinion on this.
If you are strong, you should sit there.
This is the consensus of everyone.
Xia Yuan, Haotian, and Feng Luan are sitting on the left side of the front row. Behind them are Zhao Wenguo, Mo Shiyu and other Great Xia representatives.
Opposite, M Superman, Undying Hero, and Owlman are sitting on the right side, and Nick and some United States officials are sitting behind them.
The personnel of Great Xia and United States looked at each other from afar, forming a situation of confrontation.
I don't know if Spirit Tamer Alliance was accidental or intentional.
But no matter what, this layout made the audience in Live Stream even more excited.
The barrage scrolled crazily again.
"Great Xia and United States are facing each other! Are they going to fight?"
"M Superman vs Xia Yuan! I bet M Superman wins!"
"Xia Yuan is the strongest human being! What do you know!"
"Where is War God? War God is Sun!"
"Rain God is the most beautiful! Rain God is my wife!"
"Kuang Lan! Kuang Lan! My favorite!"
"Good boy, you want to get electrocuted, don't you?!"
"Children, please don't use the electricity sent from the west to the east to call me, because the electricity has already become old during the transmission process."
"Hey, is it National Security Bureau? Yes, it's the pervert from before again."
"..."
Fans of all kinds cheered one after another, and the entire venue was as lively as a vegetable market.
The host spent a lot of effort to quiet down the scene.
The meeting was conducted according to the scheduled process. First, Spirit Tamer Alliance summarized and reported global events.
Dense data charts appeared on the screen, and each number represented a disaster, a battle, and a life.
People watching the live broadcast could hear it clearly. As the report progressed, many people's faces became solemn.
Data shows that in the past ten years, the frequency of disasters such as monster invasions and Abyss outbreaks has gradually increased.
Especially in the past year, various incidents have increased dramatically, and the number of occurrences of Raid Boss and even World-Class Wanted Boss has increased dramatically.
On the screen, a world map was marked with dense red dots, each red dot represented a disaster.
In some places, multiple incidents even broke out at the same time, and the red dots were as dense as a honeycomb.
"What does this mean?" someone muttered.
"It means the monsters are ready to move," another person answered.
The atmosphere in the venue became heavy.
But the host changed the topic and his tone became passionate.
"Although there are more disasters, the losses to human society are within control!"
"All the credit for this belongs to all Contract Spirit!"
"It was them who fought the monsters on the front line, it was they who built a line of defense with their flesh and blood, and it was they who protected our home!"
"And among all Contract Spirit, the one who has made the greatest contribution is none other than our eleventh UR Contract Spirit!"
"Especially the new UR Contract Spirit, Xia Yuan!"
When Xia Yuan's name was mentioned again, the audience burst into warm applause.
The host continued, "Xia Yuan, Great Xia's UR Contract Spirit, their recent achievements are extremely dazzling!"
"He solved multiple Abyssal Rift outbreaks, conquered countless difficult dungeons, and conquered multiple World-Class Wanted Boss!"
"Just recently, he conquered six World-Class Wanted Boss alone! Among them were two Holy Maiden Church bishops!"
"The moment the global announcement sounded, everyone remembered his name!"
"This kind of achievement is a huge contribution to the entire human society!"
The audience burst into Thunderclap-like applause again, and even the audience outside the screen couldn't help but applaud along with it.
After all, Xia Yuan's recent performance is so dazzling.
One person, six World-Class Wanted Boss, two of them are bishops of Holy Maiden Church.
This kind of achievement is unique in the entire history of mankind.
Xia Yuan sat on the chair, listening to these compliments expressionlessly.
He reached out and scratched his cheek, muttering to himself:
It's a little weird and embarrassing to praise me seriously in front of so many people.
Mo Shiyu sat behind him, frowning slightly.
"To praise Xia Yuan so much on this occasion, isn't it a form of flattery?"
As expected, the other UR Contract Spirit all turned their attention to Xia Yuan with different expressions.
Some are envious, some are Envy, some are disdainful, and some are just looking at it purely.
Everyone is UR Contract Spirit, why should Xia Yuan be superior to others?
Besides, he can only be regarded as a newcomer in UR Contract Spirit, so what can he do?
The number of bosses they killed was also quite large, but not as concentrated as Xia Yuan.
And the time span is long, so the limelight was naturally snatched away by Xia Yuan.
Kuang Lan snorted coldly and whispered, "What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just good luck?"
War God said next to him, "That's right, if I were to fight, I would be able to do it in seconds."
M Superman didn't speak, but narrowed his blue eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Rain God looked unconvinced and seemed to be suppressing some emotion.
Soon, representatives from various countries exchanged information.
In fact, Spirit Tamer Alliance has already done the coordinating and summarizing. At this moment, it is just for show, so that people all over the world can see what Alliance has done.
The meeting went smoothly without any accidents.
Finally, the host announced, "The next step is the long-awaited segment, Holographic Battle!"
The whole place was boiling instantly.
"Holographic Battle! Finally here!"
"UR Contract Spirit compete on the same stage! Now there's something good to watch!"
"I wonder if Xia Yuan can win the championship?"
"The champion must be War God! Long live Sun!"
"M Superman might win!"
"Rain God! Rain God! Rain God!"
"..."
Cheers came and went, and the entire venue turned into a sea of carnival.
The host waited for a moment before letting the scene quiet down.
"Holographic Battle will start in ten minutes! UR Contract Spirit please be ready!"
"Now, let me introduce to you the rules of Holographic Battle!"
"The so-called Holographic Battle uses holographic technology to simulate various monsters and scenes!"
"Not only can it restore the real battlefield to the maximum extent, but it also allows UR Contract Spirit to fight freely!"
The host paused and raised his voice an octave:
"Everyone knows that if UR Contract Spirit fights with all his strength, he can destroy a large city in one hour!"
"Even a specially-made arena can't stop their power!"
"So, Holographic Battle is the only way to allow UR Contract Spirit to exert its full power!"
Someone raised a question, "Can UR Contract Spirit really fight with all its strength? Can holographic technology really withstand that kind of force?"
The host smiled confidently, "No need to doubt it!"
"Because this machine was developed by the Spirit Tamer Alliance at great expense and by the leadership team of Doctor for three years!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into applause again.
Doctor pushed up his glasses in the audience and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but soon returned to his focused look.
The host continued to introduce, "This time Holographic Battle will last two and a half hours!"
"There will be various monsters in it, and all of them are level 100!"
"Moreover, Raid Boss and World-Class Wanted Boss will appear!"
"What?!"
These two words shocked everyone.
Raid Boss! World-Class Wanted Boss!
Those terrifying existences that can only be seen in the most dangerous dungeons and Abyssal Rift actually appear in Holographic Battle?!
The audience exclaimed in amazement.
"I didn't expect that our country's weapons development has developed to this point. It's really amazing!"
"Holographic technology can actually simulate World-Class Wanted Boss? This is simply science fiction!"
"Doctor is awesome! The scientific madman really deserves his reputation!"
"Now there's something good to watch!"
"Anchor anchor, will all UR Contract Spirit participate?"
"Then let me ask you, has Tathagata come?"
"This is a question. I can only answer you. I don't know whether Tathagata has come or not, but Cow Come!!"
"..."
The host added the points rules, "You can get points by killing monsters!"
"1 point for normal, 10 points for elite, 100 points for mutation, 1000 points for Raid Boss, 10,000 points for World-Class Wanted Boss!"
"Moreover, there is no restriction on the battle between UR Contract Spirit!"
This sentence once again detonated the whole audience.
"What? No restrictions on the battle between UR Contract Spirit?!"
"In other words, UR Contract Spirit can attack each other?!"
"Now it's interesting!"
"Xia Yuan be careful, Kuang Lan will definitely deal with him!"
"Will War God and M Superman fight?"
"The strongest UR Contract Spirit can finally see the light of day!"
"..."
Various speculations and discussions arose one after another, and the whole venue became a mess.
Xia Yuan sat on the chair, a glint of interest flashed in the dead fish's eyes.
Not restricting the battle between UR Contract Spirit? This is quite interesting.
He turned his head and glanced at Kuang Lan. The little girl was looking at him with a sneer, a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.
Xia Yuan sneered back, then turned away.
Mo Shiyu came over and whispered, "Xia Yuan, be careful, Kuang Lan will definitely deal with you, and War God."
Xia Yuan shrugged indifferently. "It doesn't matter, you can't beat me anyway."
Mo Shiyu sighed helplessly, knowing that she couldn't persuade this salty fish.
The ten minutes of preparation time passed quickly.
UR Contract Spirit stood up one after another and walked towards the holographic cabin in the center of the venue.
Those holographic cabins look like huge glass cabins, with complex lines and pipelines covering the surface.
Doctor stood in front of the console, his fingers flying on the keyboard, debugging various parameters.
Xia Yuan walked to a holographic cabin, and Mo Shiyu followed behind him.
Xia Yuan looked at the machines and asked doubtfully, "Doctor won't participate?"
Mo Shiyu shook his head. "Doctor is not the fighting type Contract Spirit, but Contract Spirit who belongs to the Spirit Tamer Alliance."
"I don't have any national background, so I don't need to bring glory to the country, so I don't need to participate."
Xia Yuan nodded, and then looked at the holographic cabins. "Can it really simulate the effect of casting?"
Doctor heard it and turned around. "This holographic machine has cost me countless efforts and has been perfected."
He paused, with a hint of pride in his tone:
"Although UR Contract Spirit and World-Class Wanted Boss have many special skills and characteristics, those things are difficult to fully simulate."
"But under normal circumstances, the simulation should be about 60%."
Sixty percent.
It doesn't sound like much, but it's actually a lot.
You must know that the power of UR Contract Spirit and World-Class Wanted Boss levels cannot be measured at all.
It can make UR Contract Spirit use his full strength, even if it is only 60%, it is enough to make people stunned.
Xia Yuan nodded thoughtfully. "Sixty percent... should be enough."
Doctor reminded again, "Although death within the hologram does not actually cause death, it will also affect the state, so please be careful."
"The pain and fatigue within the hologram are real, and if you are severely injured, it may cause mental damage."
"So, please do what you can."
Xia Yuan patted his chest. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Mo Shiyu said from the side, "You'd better remember this sentence and don't mess around again."
Xia Yuan chuckled and then lay down in the holographic cabin.
The hatch slowly closed, and a dense stream of data appeared on the glass.
The countdown begins.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Audiences around the world held their breath and stared at the screen.
"Three, two, one! Holographic Battle, officially started!"
Buzz!!
An invisible wave swept the entire venue.
Ten holographic cabins lit up with dazzling blue lights at the same time.
Xia Yuan felt like his eyes were blurred, and his consciousness was instantly pulled into a whole new world.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on a deserted plain.
Sky Manipulation is gray, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in the air.
In the distance, dense crowds of monsters continued to emerge on the horizon, rushing towards him like a tide.
In Holographic Space, there is almost no difference between reality and the real world.
The wind blows by, bringing a slightly cool touch; the ground beneath your feet has a real texture when you step on it.
Even the smell in the air is exactly the same as reality. It is impossible to distinguish Game from reality.
Xia Yuan looked down at himself. He was still dressed in the Saitama form, with his khaki cloak swaying gently in the wind.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, a hint of excitement flashed in the dead fish's eyes.
"Finally I can let go."
At this moment, Haotian's voice came from the communication channel. "Xia Yuan, Feng Luan, where are you?"
Xia Yuan clicked on the headset. "I'm in the plain area, where are you?"
Feng Luan's voice sounded, "I'm over there in the mountains, there are a lot of monsters."
Haotian said, "Great Xia and United States's points have never been higher or lower. This time with you here, we must surpass them!"
Feng Luan nodded. "You are absolutely right, the whole world must see that Great Xia is number one!"
Xia Yuan patted his chest. "Leave it to me."
The three of them discussed it and acted separately to gain as many points as possible.
After all, the density of monsters is fixed, and squeezing them together will only reduce the efficiency of monster spawning.
So, the three of them went in different directions.
Kuang Lan stood on the high ground in the distance, looking at Xia Yuan's leaving back, with a sneer on his lips.
"Baldou, in the first half, you can kill monsters first. In the second half, I will go to you to settle the score."
She can use various superpowers and has a keen sense of spiritual power. She is not afraid of finding the location of Xia Yuan.
People around the world are watching their screens with bated breath.
Soon, a real-time standings appeared on the live broadcast screen.
The names of everyone UR Contract Spirit keep rising and falling, which makes people dizzy.
Facing those monsters, UR Contract Spirit killed them instantly with one move without any sloppiness.
This is the difference in strength.
Ordinary Contract Spirit would have to put all his strength into defeating a level 100 monster, but in front of UR Contract Spirit, he couldn't even withstand a single move.
"Xia Yuan points are rising! We will soon enter the top three!" the commentator shouted excitedly.
"War God is not to be outdone and follows closely behind!"
"M Superman is cleaning up a group of elite monsters, and the points are rising rapidly!"
"Rain God's attack method is so beautiful. Water Blade is flying, and monsters can't get close to her at all!"
"Feng Luan's flames were overwhelming, and the entire mountainous area turned into a sea of fire!"
"Kuang Lan's super power is so buggy, she can actually squeeze monsters into compressed files!"
"..."
The audience watched with excitement, and the barrage scrolled crazily again.
"Xia Yuan come on! Surpass War God!"
"War God is number one! Long live Sun!"
"M Superman! M Superman!"
"Rain God is the most beautiful! Rain God is the strongest!"
"Feng Luan Come on! You are the strongest and most beautiful person!!"
"..."
All kinds of shouts came and went, and the whole venue turned into a sea of carnival.
In Holographic Space, Xia Yuan is standing among the corpses of monsters.
He looked at the standings and found that he was currently ranked third, second only to War God and M Superman.
"It seems that we need to be more serious."
The atmosphere inside Anything Shop is a bit solemn.
The man in a formal dress walked up to the counter and said, "Boss, don't be nervous, I'm here to discuss business."
The boss looked at him warily, "Excuse me, Bishop Greed, what do you want to buy in our store?"
The man in the dress smiled slightly, "I want to buy Xia Yuan's life."
