The laser cage disappeared.
The Smoke Ghost remained unmoved.
It remained lying on the ground, puffing out smoke.
The clones in the ditch looked excited.
"Finally, I don't have to inhale secondhand smoke anymore!"
" The Soul Orb is right in front of you; first come, first served."
"Go for it!"
"Boss battle, brothers!"
"..."
Dozens of clones rushed forward and surrounded Smoke Ghost.
However, the intense boss battle that everyone had anticipated did not occur.
The Smoke Ghost acted as if he didn't see them and continued puffing smoke.
Brother Devour and the Dharma King were somewhat confused.
Whether it was the Miss Devour we encountered at the beginning, or the giant octopus and the giants later on.
These S-class alien beasts are extremely aggressive, the kind that can't tolerate even a grain of sand in their eyes, and will attack immediately upon seeing a person.
In comparison, The Smoke Ghost is a bit too docile.
Even if its clones were standing right in front of it, it wouldn't budge an inch.
The clones didn't care about any of that and unleashed all sorts of attacks.
Unfortunately, the S-class beast had thick hide and tough flesh. Even though these level one Karami used all their strength, they could only leave some shallow marks on its body.
Brother Devour and the Dharma King didn't follow them into their death trap; instead, they kept their distance to prevent Smoke Ghost from suddenly attacking.
They soon discovered that their worries were completely unnecessary.
The clones attacked him with punches and kicks, some even jumping around on the Smoke Ghost's head, but the Smoke Ghost still didn't react at all.
The Dharma King was stunned. "Is this really an S-class beast?"
Even Brother Devour couldn't figure it out.
I have never seen anything so bizarre.
Suddenly, the Smoke Ghost stopped puffing away.
The clones immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Back off! Back off! I'll blow it up first!"
The Self-Destruct Squad ran up to Smoke Ghost's Head, preparing to release " Patrick Star ".
The Smoke Ghost turned his head to the side, his eyes fixed quietly on the clone.
Brother Devour was stunned.
He never imagined that one day he would see such a complex look in the eyes of a strange beast.
Feeling lost and saddened, yet also compassionate towards humanity.
It's as if it's saying: Friend, are you going to kill me?
The Self-Destruct Squad's clones were completely exposed and couldn't keep up.
"Damn! Why do I suddenly feel like we're the villains?"
"In a way, yes. They were just quietly smoking here, not bothering anyone, and now they're going to have their Soul Orb extracted."
"What Axis of Evil?"
So, is it going to explode or not?
"I give up, I've already taken my pants off, and I'm stuck in this limbo."
"..."
The clones all turned to look at Brother Devour and the Dharma King.
Brother Devour glanced at the Dharma King, telling him to stay where he was, while he stepped forward.
"Waaah--"
Seemingly sensing a kinship aura from Brother Devour, Smoke Ghost raised its long nose and greeted him.
Unfortunately, Brother Devour doesn't understand animal language.
The approaching Brother Devour noticed that Smoke Ghost was in very poor condition.
Not only were its teeth and claws pulled out, but all four of its limb joints were also broken.
It's not that it doesn't want to resist, but that it's unable to resist.
Aside from emitting smoke, it has no other abilities.
The clone standing nearby clicked its tongue in amazement.
"The company is pretty awesome; they managed to make an S-type monster's eyes glaze over, and it just wanted to die."
Brother Devour activated its Beast Transformation, turning into a several-meter-tall "monster" with many arms and legs.
I'll see you off on your final journey.
The Smoke Ghost's eyes remained completely still.
Brother Devour used all his arms simultaneously to punch through Smoke Ghost's abdomen and pull out a white Soul Orb.
Without the Soul Orb, the Smoke Ghost's already dwindling life force rapidly ebbed away.
A few breaths later, there was no further movement.
"That's it?"
"What a boring boss battle."
"Where's the promised thrilling battle?"
"This guy was so cooperative just now, does he think we're one of his own?"
"It's not impossible."
"Who should receive the Soul Orb?"
"..."
All the clones looked at the white Soul Orb in Brother Devour's hand.
Captain Hook, far away in the Sea Capital, spoke first, "I'll just have to make do and be Captain Mist."
The other clones were greatly displeased.
"Have some shame?"
"You're still feeling wronged?"
"Go on, set sail."
Captain Hook retorted indignantly, "I've been diligently sailing this ship for so long, what's wrong with enjoying a Soul Orb for a bit?"
Brother Devour decisively refused. "You're too far away. We need to use this Soul Orb now."
The research institute is in complete chaos.
At this point, multiple abilities become very useful, especially area-of-effect abilities like the Fog ability.
You ate it.
Brother Devour threw it to the highest-level clone.
Meditation Group's second-level clone, former MVP.
"Laughing loudly, I stride out the door; how can I, a man of such talent, be a mere commoner!"
The Private put the white Soul Orb in his mouth and swallowed it forcefully.
"They're here!"
The Private's whole body was burning up, and his breathing began to rise.
Almost instantly, it jumped from level two to level three and a half.
A few minutes later, the clone that had completely absorbed the Soul Orb opened its eyes and began to explain the abilities contained within the Soul Orb.
"Talented Ability: Fog of War "
"Release the mist field, apply the ' Fervor ' positive buff to allies, increasing their combat power."
"The negative buff applied to the enemy is ' Mind Confusion,' which disorients enemies within the area."
"The stronger the opponent, the less effective the Mind Confusion will be."
Its superb support capabilities make it a true team God of War powerhouse.
The other clones were sour.
"It's just Soul Orb, I'll have one too someday."
"As everyone knows, the later you go, the more powerful you become; there's no benefit in getting ahead."
"Indeed, compared to the Mist, Brother Devour's abilities are like those of a primitive man."
"..."
Brother Devour looked exasperated.
The clone beamed with delight. "From now on, I am the Mist Lord, the Lord of the Mist!"
The Dharma King said calmly, "This trip wasn't a complete waste; I got an S- Soul Orb for free."
"Now that things outside are over, we should go down."
With that, the Dharma King instructed Qin Ze to open the elevator.
The research institute was so lively, people naturally couldn't miss out on the fun.
Buzzing--
Just then, the sound of a propeller suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw five heavy helicopters speeding towards them from a distance.
At the same time, the elevator brought Teacher Wang and a group of students to the ground.
When Teacher Wang saw the dead Smoke Ghost and a group of guys wearing all sorts of bizarre and grotesque masks, he couldn't help but frown.
Having just escaped one tiger's den, are we about to fall into another?
"Careful!"
Brother Devour loudly reminded him.
Swish swish swish--
The helicopter fired several rockets at the teachers and students.
"Scatter!"
Teacher Wang's heart sank to the bottom.
The other party came to silence them.
He hadn't recovered his strength yet and could only watch helplessly as the rocket got closer and closer.
"Roaring thunder, obey my decree!"
The Dharma King, imbued with thunderous power, rose from the ground.
With a wave of his hand, he created a vast net of lightning in the sky, intercepting all the rockets.
Teacher Wang was overjoyed; these beasts were on their side.
Upon detecting a long-range attack, the five aircraft immediately turned around and retreated.
At the same time, five Dawn Mobile Squad were deployed to the ground.
After landing, the Mobile Team quickly reorganized and surrounded the clones and students.
