Everyone at the banquet swallowed hard as they looked out the window at what was happening below.
Looking at the terrifying monster below, Yixue glanced uneasily at Xiunuosi beside her.
"Captain... can he handle it alone? I feel like that Variant is terrifying."
Wearing a brightly colored dress, Xiunuosi shrugged. "What are you afraid of? Even the captain could run away if the [Five Calamities] came, let alone that guy who doesn't even look like one of the [Five Calamities]."
Yixue then looked at Gu Gongming, who was leisurely sipping his red wine, showing no concern whatsoever.
In the otherwise inconspicuous crowd, Tuote's brow furrowed slightly.
"What's going on...?"
He looked around and suddenly noticed a Ragdoll cat crawling out of the ventilation duct.
Tuote's brow immediately relaxed.
The Ragdoll cat landed lightly on the ground, wriggled on its four short legs, and pounced on Tuote through the crowd.
The next second, crimson growths suddenly appeared on the Ragdoll cat's body, enveloping Tuote and Weier beside him in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!"
A gasp rippled through the crowd, and the members of the [Godslaying] Squad reacted instantly.
Gu Gongming pulled out a gun, aimed it at the monster, and pulled the trigger, sending a fireball flying.
Several thick limbs and eyes grew from the tumor, and the limbs suddenly lunged forward, dodging the scorching fireball.
Click!
Hela smashed through the bulletproof glass and her bizarre body leaped into the air.
Under the influence of gravity, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
"We're after them! Yixue, you stay behind to protect the personnel!"
Gu Gongming made the arrangements immediately, then grabbed Xiunuosi and jumped down from a height of 100 meters, causing the hem of his suit to flutter in the wind.
A wisp of smog slowly rose from the building. Yixue's face lit up with joy as she saw a huge wolf's head slowly peering down from above the window.
Hela landed on the ground with a thud and immediately began to pry her way across the ground amidst the sounds of fighting.
A huge mouth split open from the scarlet tumor and swallowed the bewildered Shamate whole.
At the same time, he accidentally smashed the ghost fire motorcycle in front of him into scrap metal.
An eye grew out from behind him and saw several figures chasing him but getting further and further away.
Hela glanced again at Brown, who was constantly dodging the cannonball-like figures of [Silver Ghost] in a forest of metallic bamboo, and realized that she had succeeded.
Inside Hela's body, three bewildered figures stared at each other, their expressions mirroring each other's even in the absence of light.
"I got what you wanted, here you go."
Hela's voice reached Qi Wen's ears, and a miniature recorder grew out of the tumor and was handed to Tuote.
Before Tuote could say anything, a deep electronic voice came from Shamate's arms.
"Not long ago, I reported our situation to the Lord... and then the Lord issued a task, something I want you to pay attention to..."
Shamate took out his phone, and a tentacle with eyes emerged.
"What mission is it? I'm already out here, what else do I need to be careful about?"
"Capture the members of the [Godslaying] Squad... Meng Yuan..."
[X] solemnly stated, "We don't need your help with the capture, just make sure you don't interfere with the mission..."
" The Light God Society has already dispatched people, and they're almost there..."
"Oh, I see."
The tentacle with eyes nodded twice in a mocking manner, then calmly said...
"Do we have to capture them alive?"
"Yes, because we need her abilities..."
What if he/she dies?
"If he dies..." [X] paused, "Wait, what do you mean by that?"
"I stabbed both of them."
"..."
[X] remained silent for a moment, then tentatively asked a question.
Is it serious?
Hela thought for a moment, "It's quite serious. It damaged her heart and lungs; a normal person would probably be dead by now."
[X] went completely silent, the scarlet X on the screen flickering slightly, as if it were thinking about something.
So, did I end up making things worse?
[X] did not respond, but Hela naturally knew the answer.
Well, although Hela doesn't have a conscience, the Light God Society deserves some credit for how easily she found Tuote.
Besides, they are business partners after all, so it's only right and proper that I make some compensation.
Hela glanced again at the [Godslaying] Squad members who were still chasing her, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Although killing them wouldn't be difficult, Hela didn't believe that Brown wouldn't come if she did it herself.
It's not that Hela can't beat Brown, it's just that the opponent's abilities are a bit too troublesome.
In addition, given the other party's insane thought process, they might directly attract [Silver Ghost].
It's estimated that Hela will face a double attack from Brown and [Silver Ghost].
By the time we finish dealing with those two, Meng Yuan probably be completely ruined.
Just as Hela was about to shake off the enemy, a gunshot rang out in the dark night.
Bang--!
The bullet hurtled forward amidst the flashing flashes of light, arriving in front of Gu Gongming in the blink of an eye.
Then they punched right through his shoulder.
Gu Gongming's flying figure suddenly stopped, and he frowned slightly as he looked at the wound on his shoulder.
Hela looked in the direction of the gunshot.
In the middle of the snow, a middle-aged man wearing a black coat and with a scar on his face was lying face down, with a sniper rifle set up in front of him.
Click!
The lighter glowed in his hand as he slowly lit the cigar in his mouth and took a deep drag.
"Call..."
White smoke drifted in the air. He pulled back the bolt and aimed again, but this time he aimed at a building a kilometer away.
Bang--!
The bullet pierced the glass and accurately struck one of the researchers in the head.
Upon seeing this, Xiunuosi and Gu Gongming's expressions immediately turned sour.
Then, the middle-aged man fired at the other floors that were flying.
Even with Jixue protecting them, sniper bullets still killed many people.
Gu Gongming was at a loss for what to do, so he went to help Jixue protect the scientific researchers.
Xiunuosi then abandoned Hela and quietly approached the sniper.
"Our helpers have arrived..."
[X] A deep, electronic voice echoed within Hela, "And this time, the Lord has come too..."
"Is it because I accidentally killed them both?"
"... yes."
"That was pretty fast."
Hela stopped, her gaping maw opening wide, and vomited out all three people from her stomach.
"You take those two and run ahead, I'll be right back."
After giving her instructions to Shamate, Hela swung her scarlet limbs and darted back towards the building.
Huh? Why isn't it being played anymore?
As the building's foundation drew ever closer, Hela noticed that Brown and [Silver Ghost], who had been locked in a fierce battle, were now completely silent.
The surroundings An'an quiet, with only the broken ground and the metal bamboo growing out of it serving as a testament to the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Just as Hela passed by these metal bamboos, the bottom of the bamboos suddenly cracked open, and a monster with bamboo growing on its back burst out of the ground, roaring as it charged towards Hela.
"Mother--!"
