With his powerful cultivation level, Wang Hao pushed the potential of this body to its limit. Wielding two curved swords, he unleashed a dazzling display of blade light that enveloped his entire body, deflecting or cleaving away all the bullets that were fired at him.
That wasn't all. All the bullets that were deflected were, through Wang Hao's careful calculations, bounced back onto the surrounding demon warriors.
As the bullets ricocheted, hundreds of demon warriors fell one after another, especially those in the innermost circle who suffered the most gruesome fates.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Morgana, who was in the command center, couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly ordered the demon snipers behind her to stop firing. If this continued, her ten squads of men would be wiped out.
"Where did this monstrous little guy come from?"
" Arlong, why don't you go up and give it a try!"
Morgana pondered for a moment, then gave the order to Arlong, who was present at the scene.
Arlong was recently upgraded to a second-generation warrior, and his combat power is at least ten times stronger than that of a first-generation warrior, far surpassing A Kun, who was previously defeated by that little monster.
It's best to let them test the waters!
"Gulp!"
"Your Majesty, why don't we let A'tuo go?"
Arlong had just been hit by two ricocheting bullets on the outer edge of the battle circle, swallowed hard, truly terrified by the monstrous performance of the person inside.
Although his own strength was not bad and his physical attributes far surpassed those of his opponent, his opponent was simply too monstrous. Going up there would be nothing short of suicide!
"What are you chickening out for? Did you end up with kidney damage from masturbating last night like that kid A Kun?"
Looking at the demon minions lying on the ground groaning on the monitor in the command center, Morgana's smile widened, and she said in a deep voice, "Go ahead and do your thing without worry, that little guy knows what he's doing."
She saw things clearly. Since the start of the war, although many of her demon minions had fallen, none had lost their lives. At most, they were seriously injured and on the verge of death, and it was only a matter of time before they recovered.
Clearly, this little guy didn't come here with any great malice.
"Then, Queen, I'll go!"
With Morgana's encouragement, Arlong gritted his teeth, wielded the strange greatsword, and slashed forward with tremendous force. Wherever his alloy combat boots landed, a terrifying crater exploded in the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
Everyone, from A'tuo and the others on the scene to Morgana and the others in the command center, had high expectations for Arlong's attack.
It should be noted that Arlong himself was a burly and powerful elite warrior who developed his strength. In terms of strength alone, he was not much inferior to some Third demon warriors.
Unfortunately, what happened next was a huge surprise to everyone. Facing Arlong, who was wielding a sword and slashing wildly down, the little devil simply twisted his body to avoid Arlong's sure-fire attack, while at the same time slashing Arlong's neck with his scimitar.
With his own strength, combined with Arlong's momentum and the sharpness of the scimitar, Ah Long's neck, which was not protected by heavy armor, was immediately severed in half.
Covering his half-open neck, Arlong's throat trembled, but he couldn't utter a sound.
Although he was a second-generation demon warrior, having half his neck severed was still a serious injury, and he temporarily lost his ability to fight.
"Holy crap, these are the elite warriors I've painstakingly trained? When that Arlong gets back, he'll give them five times the training, no, ten times the training!"
Morgana, regaining her senses, was furious. "You're someone I personally selected from thousands of initial demons and nurtured to the level of a second-generation demon warrior. You're considered a backbone of the Demon Legion."
Even though that little monster is monstrous, you should at least fight it for a few rounds!
What does it mean that he was beaten to his knees in this first exchange?
It seems I was too lenient with you before, my Queen!
All the demon warriors in the command hall were silent, none daring to speak at this moment, for fear that the Queen, in her anger, would also arrange for them to undergo extra training.
After all, even if they were to play, they might not be much better than Arlong.
That little guy is just too monstrous!
"You're quite good, but you shouldn't have provoked us demons. There's only one outcome for this—death!"
Holding the command, A'tuo stepped into the encirclement, staring coldly at the little guy in front of him.
Although this little guy's record is not bad, it is far inferior to his.
He's not like Arlong; he's a genuine Third demon warrior, and the strongest among them, almost reaching the level of Divine Body.
This little guy definitely wouldn't last a single move against me!
Following the Queen's orders, A'tuo unleashed the killing intent he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years of conquest as he spoke, causing the temperature in the entire space to drop by tens of degrees, almost freezing everyone's thoughts.
"Since you're a brave warrior, you'd better make the first move, otherwise you won't have a chance... Damn it!"
A'tuo was just about to show off by suggesting that the other party make the first move, but before he could finish speaking, he saw a blade of light appear in front of him as if it had crossed space, slashing straight at his waist and abdomen where there was no heavy armor protection.
Faced with this sudden blade of light, even with A'tuo's battle-hardened composure, he couldn't help but curse and instinctively raised his Sword of Command to block.
But strangely, the blade of light seemed to have a premonition, turning around and narrowly avoiding the sharpness of the Sword of Command. It was as fast as lightning and struck A'tuo squarely in the waist and abdomen.
The tough leather armor was cleaved through, revealing the bluish-gray skin underneath.
That wasn't all. A'tuo felt a strange, sharp force seeping into his body from his waist and abdomen, bringing a needle-like pain.
Only someone with extensive battle experience could pull it off; otherwise, an ordinary demon warrior would have been screaming in pain long ago.
Seeing that he couldn't cut through A'tuo's skin with a single strike, Wang Hao changed his strategy. His body moved like a fish, circling around the massive A'tuo, his curved blade creating afterimages as he continuously slashed at A'tuo's waist, abdomen, and legs.
Unfortunately, he's only 1.8 meters tall, which is less than 3 meters tall compared to A'tuo, so he can only attack those two spots.
Even so, he was still capable of exchanging blows with A'tuo for a few rounds.
The sharp force penetrated A'tuo's body through the curved blade in his hand, and the pain accumulated little by little until, even with A'tuo's willpower, his face became contorted.
That hurts so much!
"Go to hell!"
Enraged, A'tuo immediately unleashed the Dark Energy within his body, creating a shockwave that sent Wang Hao, who was relentlessly attacking him, flying away.
That wasn't all. Without the slightest hesitation, A'tuo spread his Demon Wings and appeared almost Teleportation in front of Wang Hao, who was flying backwards, while his Sword of Command stabbed out rapidly.
Fortunately, A'tuo himself remembered the Queen's orders, so he did not activate the Dark Energy to empower the Sword of Command.
Even so, the sharpness of the Sword of Command was far superior to the two twin swords of the first-generation demon warrior in Wang Hao's hands.
"When!"
"Snap!"
With nowhere to grab hold of his sword while suspended in mid-air, Wang Hao had no choice but to swing his twin blades to meet the attack. Unfortunately, the blades shattered like glass with a single collision, and the Sword of Command continued its relentless advance, piercing his chest and pinning him to the cliff face behind him.
"A... to?"
Ignoring the Sword of Command piercing his body, Wang Hao looked at A'tuo with a bewildered expression and revealed his real name.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hao's head drooped and he fell into a coma.
After all, it's always best to go all the way when acting!
"Your Majesty, he just called me A'tuo, so he might know me! But I did detect human genetic data from Earth in his body."
The sound of "A'tuo" made A'tuo stiffen, and his expression became serious. He immediately reported to his queen.
"Bring him back, Your Majesty. I want to examine him myself!"
Morgana's expression also turned serious in the command center of Demon One, realizing that this little guy's origins were probably not simple.
Soon, Wang Hao was brought back by A'tuo himself.
Why did it take so long?
Morgana, her brows furrowed slightly and growing impatient, couldn't understand why her trusted subordinate had made her wait a full ten minutes longer than expected.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the Demon Gene within him are incomplete and poorly integrated with this human body. They've shown signs of collapse since he fell unconscious. To prevent a complete genetic collapse, I have no choice but to bring him back."
A'tuo respectfully began to explain, his heart even heavier than before.
According to his understanding, a body with such a high degree of genetic fusion should have collapsed long ago. He really couldn't understand how this kid had managed to hold on until now.
In this situation, he obviously couldn't use Wormhole Transport technology to analyze the other party's body; otherwise, even if he brought it back, it would collapse immediately.
Morgana, her expression also becoming more solemn, extended her fair hand and pressed it against Wang Hao's forehead, accessing the memory data and Dark Plane data in his brain.
"Blank? This little guy is actually immune to the Dark Plane. No wonder his fusion with Demon Gene is so low!"
Seeing the blank and empty data in the Dark Plane, Morgana finally understood why this kid's genes were so bad.
The Demon Gene she developed is based on Dark Energy and the Dark Plane. To fuse with the Demon Gene, one must have a physique that is compatible with Dark Energy and the Dark Plane.
In this respect, most life forms in the universe are not very compatible; only specially bred super soldiers can achieve 100% compatibility with Dark Energy and the Dark Plane.
At the same time, not all life forms in this universe are compatible with Dark Energy and Dark Plane. Such life forms are naturally unable to fuse with Demon Gene, and forced fusion will only result in genetic collapse.
Just like this little guy, it's truly a miracle that he's managed to hold on until now.
Despite her amazement, Morgana continued working, shifting her focus to the memories in the brain and the instinctive memories at the genetic level.
"Oh ho ho, this little guy used to be a human police officer! He bought Demon Gene serum out of resentment and transformed into a demon, even chopping up his own father-in-law. Ruthless enough, Your Majesty, I like it!"
Morgana's smile deepened as she looked at the memories in her brain and projected them onto the display in front of her. However, when she recalled the instinctive memories of the Demon Gene, she was completely stunned.
"This is... the Queen!"
Looking at the beautiful figure on the monitor, even the most senior member A'tuo, nearly popped his eyes out.
Although the image was blurry, he was 100% certain that it was his queen, and that it was his queen's original archangel form, Liang Bing. In fact, the queen was even wearing female angel armor in the image.
As far as he knew, his queen had only appeared in this form during the early stages of their Demon Civilization's development on Planet Kun Sa.
In other words, this little guy's Demon Gene come from an ancient generation.
"It was indeed one of the first batches of genes I mixed back then. Judging from the remaining serial number, it should have been a little guy named A Dan."
After a detailed examination of the Demon Gene type in Wang Hao's body, Morgana basically determined the origin of this gene.
However, apart from the current A'tuo, the first batch of Demon Gene fusioners she created on Planet Kun Sa should have all perished in the war against the Angel Civilization long ago.
Furthermore, although she secretly spread a lot of demonic viruses and gene serums to various countries around the world this time, it is absolutely impossible for her to have such an original version that has been completely eliminated, and in such an extremely incomplete state.
"This has suddenly become much more interesting!"
Morgana's smile deepened, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
If she still doesn't realize she's been tricked at this point, she should just find a block of tofu and smash her head against it!
However, in this universe, no one can use Morgana's underlings for scheming, no one at all!
"I remember A Dan. Although we weren't in the same squad back then, he also admired the Queen immensely and fought bravely. During the first war against the Angel Civilization, A Dan was sent out on a mission and never returned."
We all thought A Dan had been killed by angels back then, but now it seems there's more to the story.
Upon hearing the name A Dan, A'tuo immediately retrieved this former comrade-in-arms from his vast memory.
Although he wasn't familiar with A Dan back then, they did know each other, which explains why the kid recognized him earlier.
"Of course there's something fishy going on!"
While suppressing the gradually collapsing genes within Wang Hao's body, Morgana coldly ordered, "Investigate all of this kid's past connections, focusing on whether he has any super soldiers."
Judging from the memories retrieved earlier, this kid was just a naive young man practicing National Arts, and he hadn't offended any important figures. So he must have offended some people in some way, which is why he was targeted.
