076 Abel [Update 1]

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three more flashes of blade light struck Xiao Huasheng at the same time.

Only then did she finally see who stood before her.

The man wore a collar around his neck and stood nearly two meters tall. His body was covered in all kinds of bizarre tattoos that made one's head ache after a single glance.

His physical abilities made it difficult to believe he was really an ordinary person. This was absolutely superhuman territory.

"So the test is to knock this guy down?" Xiao Huasheng shouted, directly ignoring the man's attack as she asked.

"Die! Die! Die! Die!"

The man went mad, attacking her at near-superhuman speed.

Xiao Huasheng was battered from side to side by his increasingly powerful blows before finally stumbling and falling to the ground!

Then the man kicked her flying! She shot backward like a cannonball and crashed into the distant forest.

The man leaped after her, stomping Xiao Huasheng beneath his feet in midair and using her like a skateboard to plow a trench across the ground.

After Xiao Huasheng was smashed into the forest, she was still suppressed by the man's frenzied attacks.

At this moment.

An answer came from outside the Foundation.

"Yes, defeat him."

Hearing that, Xiao Huasheng could no longer hold back.

Click.

A Vector appeared in her hand. The instant she drew the firearm—

The man felt an immense sense of danger!

Bang bang bang bang!!!

A violent torrent of bullets ripped open the ground, and the man's pupils abruptly contracted.

The bullets blasted half-meter-wide craters into the concrete ground. The flying rubble vaporized directly in the shockwaves!

His previously pressing body twisted sharply. The instant his toes pushed off the ground, the trees behind him were riddled with bullets and collapsed with a roar!

The man dodged the bullets. If he had been hit, he would have been blown to pieces.

"Tch, you dodged pretty fast." Xiao Huasheng sprang up with one hand on the ground. The Vector transformed and reassembled in her hand like a living creature, becoming a streamlined electromagnetic sniper cannon in the blink of an eye. A deep blue charging glow frantically gathered within its chamber.

This had been inspired by the plasma cannons they often used in Warhammer.

When facing enemies capable of dodging bullets, lasers were undoubtedly a good choice.

Of course, this firearm's ammunition was exceptionally expensive, and it consumed a great deal of energy.

But anyone who could dodge bullets was naturally no ordinary opponent.

The man was still in midair when the cannon barrel locked onto his head!

Boom!!

A blue beam tore through the field, severing the trees along its path at the waist. They burst into flames and crashed down.

The man's beast-like pupils reflected the approaching beam of death as he raised an utterly black blade before himself.

Something happened that Xiao Huasheng had never expected.

Clang!!

The sound of metal striking metal rang out continuously.

The laser cannon's beam slammed into the black sword, yet instead of piercing through it as expected, it was like it had struck an invisible mirror.

Right before Xiao Huasheng's shocked gaze, something she could never have imagined occurred.

The laser was reflected!

The black blade did not move an inch, while the plasma beam, powerful enough to pierce armor, was cleanly split in two. It became two dazzling blue-white streams of light that shot behind the man!

Boom! Boom!

The two reflected lasers were like swords of divine punishment, instantly plowing two charred trenches through hundreds of meters of forest behind him.

Towering ancient trees burst apart and burned in the high heat, while the ground melted into deep craters. Soil and rock vaporized directly, sending rolling waves of heat into the air!

The animals in the forest fled in terror.

Birds chirped as they burst from the treetops and scattered in every direction. Their feathers were swept up by the hot wind and instantly burned to ash.

Squirrels and rabbits fled wildly, but several failed to evade the aftermath of the lasers and instantly turned to charcoal.

Farther away, a herd of deer was startled by the shockwave. They smashed through bushes in panic and raced deeper into the forest.

The entire battlefield seemed to have had the laws of physics forcibly twisted by some higher power!

Xiao Huasheng's pupils suddenly shrank. She clearly realized that there was something wrong with that sword!

It could even deflect lasers. That was absurd.

The man slowly lowered his sword, a savage smile spreading across his lips.

The tattoos on his body glimmered faintly like living creatures, exuding a suffocating pressure.

"Not a bad attack, but you're too slow." His low voice seemed to come from an abyss. "As long as I keep an eye on the direction you're aiming, you can't hurt me at your speed."

He was not wrong.

In a one-on-one duel, once Xiao Huasheng was locked in his sight, every motion of raising her gun, aiming, or pulling the trigger could be easily predicted.

Under his gaze, her physical qualities amounted to nothing more than those of a top boxer who never tired.

When truly facing a superhuman opponent in a duel, she would only become a pitiful angel punching bag.

Earlier, when she faced the Green Tide, no one in the chaotic melee could notice the bullets she fired, which was why she had inflicted such enormous casualties.

If it had been a Khorne champion who understood her abilities, they likely could have easily dodged her attacks.

Before his words had even faded, his figure suddenly vanished!

Xiao Huasheng did not even have time to change direction before the man's blade slashed toward her!

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere.

At the critical moment, she raised both hands to block it, but the terrifying impact still drove her feet deep into the ground, gouging two trenches several meters long!

She squeezed her eyes shut, passively enduring blows from this inhuman being.

The man merely slowly raised his sword. Its black edge pointed directly at her throat, and his voice was cold and crazed—

"The next strike will kill you."

The forest was burning, and heat waves warped the air.

In the distance, alarms shrieked inside the Foundation observation station.

"Warning! Abel's suppression collar has sustained 15% damage! It is still increasing!"

The researchers' faces turned deathly pale.

"This is bad..." one of them said with a trembling voice. "If this continues, he'll completely go berserk!"

Very soon, someone began asking the newly appointed director inside the facility.

"What do we do? Should we terminate this experiment? Kill Abel while the collar is still effective!"

After a brief silence, the blond director shook his head.

"Jin Li told me about her situation. Trust her."

This was both a Foundation assessment and a Foundation experiment.

The Pandora's Box Squad existed, in essence, to better contain Entity 076-2, Abel, and to weaponize entities as the global situation steadily worsened.

If Xiao Huasheng could kill Abel

Then, as an entity that was clearly easier to control, she would be the best stabilizer.

After all, aside from imprisoning her, no slightly offensive action would anger her too much. She could be considered a cute angel.

In order to make this squad controllable, they could not rely solely on things like explosive collars.

At present, the Foundation hoped for her victory.

Use Reality Warping on Him for My Sake [Update 2]

This was the Foundation's newly launched plan, and it was still in the recruitment stage.

As the second member about to join this squad, Xiao Huasheng was the best stabilizer.

After all, aside from constantly breaking containment protocols to seek freedom, she had never once actively killed anyone according to the Foundation's records. That was enough to show that she had little interest in killing.

And at this moment, Xiao Huasheng was still being violently beaten in the forest.

"Why is it always like this?!" she wailed, practically unable to fight back at all.

Angela offered her a suggestion.

[If this keeps up, it'll turn into a wilderness combat scene between you and this man. Do you really want to be his RPQ, Director?]

[Use reality warping on him for my sake.]

Angela silently extended her fist toward her as she spoke.

The stored energy plummeted wildly.

The moment the mode was activated, Xiao Huasheng's physical abilities were raised to an extreme level. She lifted her gun and aimed directly at Abel's head at incredible speed!

The pitch-black muzzle of an AWM appeared directly before Abel.

Seeing her right hand suddenly move at such a terrifying speed, Abel's pupils constricted violently.

Why had the angel before him suddenly become so much faster?!

He wanted to block, but he discovered that his body had suddenly slowed tremendously. Even raising his blade had become unbearably slow.

He could not avoid this attack.

Bang!!

The flames erupting from the muzzle still lingered on Abel's retina. Within his completely slowed perception, he watched the bullet spin as it tore through the air.

He saw the surrounding reality being twisted.

Abel finally understood the culprit behind his slowed speed.

Xiao Huasheng had directly increased the density of the air around him until it became unbelievably viscous, to the point where even SCP-682 would struggle to move after entering it.

Let alone him. Even SCP-682 would find it difficult to withstand such a killing move.

Watching this, he could not help but laugh.
