Chapter 243
Thinking of the humans in the occupied territories, Ye Jiang's pupils turned dark red. Suppressing her anger, she said, "You want to stitch your flesh back onto all the Polluted?"
The World Destroyer chuckled softly, in a good mood. "Not at all."
He said, "As long as I absorb enough power from these ants, reaching a certain threshold, all living beings here will automatically become my subjects, serve me, and become my slaves, without me having to control them one by one."
He said, "The blame lies with the incompetent Sovereign of Power of this world. He bestowed upon humanity the Blood Moon, the Moon Tree, and recently even created a Toy Mall, but how much have these benefits actually been for humanity? Humanity remains so weak, utterly powerless to protect itself! Ultimately, it's because the Sovereign of Power of this world is inherently weak, and therefore his followers are equally weak, allowing me to easily seize them."
Ye Jiang remained silent.
Blood Moon, Moon Tree, Toy Mall.
These are her creations.
--The World Destroyer believes she is the Surface World's Sovereign of Power.
Is she?
Ye Jiang recalled her Ability System. She could Domination human superpowered individuals, and she leveled up by relying on them. In this light, these human superpowered individuals seemed to be the "World Destroyer" who offered sacrifices to her and belonged to her.
Furthermore, her power is attribute-less...
However, she cannot Domination all living beings in the Surface World. Apart from human ability users, the majority of living beings in the Surface World are ordinary people who cannot use abilities. In addition, there are some special Polluted. She is still far from being able to control them.
The "World Destroyer" misunderstood; she was not the Sovereign of Power over the Surface World in his theory of supremacy.
Where does her attribute-less power come from?
An answer is becoming increasingly obvious.
She is a very special monster.
She is the supreme "Sky" in the mouths of all the monsters.
The answer is --
she is...
The Sovereign of Power of the Inner World.
It used to be.
However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, she lost control over all the monsters in the Inner World.
"Why tell you all this? You wouldn't understand anyway." The "World Destroyer" shook his head, though his expression was quite pleased; he was actually happy to show off like this.
Six months ago, the "World Destroyer" thought he was about to become the new Sovereign of Power in the Surface World, so he turned his actions overt and was no longer afraid of the Slaughter God interfering with him.
But six months have passed, and he still hasn't become the Sovereign of Power!
What exactly happened?
He felt he was almost touching that line, but for some reason, he couldn't quite grasp it, which made him a little anxious.
When will he finally be able to touch that line?
How many more Polluted does he need to control?
The World Destroyer was anxious and agitated. He needed some amusement to soothe his mood, and sure enough, showing off improved his mood. Anyway, both monsters would eventually die, and he would kill them. The information he uttered would eventually become his exclusive secret.
"Don't know?"
A voice came from the woman opposite, her calm tone seemingly suppressing something. The "World Destroyer" looked over upon hearing the voice.
Is this what you mean?
A fireball suddenly appeared above the woman's head, followed by a second, a third... and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in a multitude! A barrage of fireballs rained down on the "World Destroyer"!
Then came the wind, the thunder and lightning, and the endless yellow sand!
It is strangling vines, flying blades, and intensified magnetic fields!
It is an endless illusion, an overwhelming mental control!
yes...
A dark red sphere appeared in the Sky, like the moon hanging high. The woman stretched out her hand, and the moon transformed into a huge, magnificent sword.
The "World Destroyer" witnessed this scene through a gap in the illusion; this "moon"...
"Who are you..."
The "World Destroyer" finally realized something was amiss: what kind of superpower did the monster next to the Slaughter God possess?
She is known as Healer by humans, yet she can create metal objects out of thin air.
She created a protective barrier for human cities!
"You are the overlord of the Surface World's powerless Sovereign of Power!"
He shouted.
The sword hurtled towards them!
Bang!!
The "World Destroyer" was blasted away and crashed into the barrier above the city.
Silence.
The "World Destroyer" shattered silently on the barrier.
Suddenly, wisps of smoke rose from a pool of mud, thick and bubbling like mud itself, and terrifying, grotesque faces emerged, only to be quickly swallowed by the smoke and mud.
A gigantic monster appeared, larger than the city.
Even larger, he lay prone on the barrier, as if pressing the city under his claws.
But he had no interest in the weak creatures below; he raised his head, his boundless anger pointing straight to the Sky.
He didn't want to play anymore.
He wanted to tear those two guys to shreds.
He wants to kill the Sovereign of Power and become the new Sovereign of Power here!
Sky, Ye Jiang, sword in hand, looked down without fear.
She pulled on the giant sword.
At this time--
"Didn't we agree that I would do it?" The young man's voice came from behind, cold with a hint of helplessness.
Ye Jiang turned around.
Half of the youth's body blurred, and wisps of smoke formed black holes, connected by thin, gossamer-like threads of smoke, stretching to the unseen horizon.
The youth only possessed half of his body, yet he was still larger than the "World Destroyer".
Ye Jiang blinked.
When the youth moved, the black hole moved erratically, like stars drifting.
He looked at Ye Jiang and said, "Your barrier is stronger than I expected."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other half of his body also transformed into black smoke.
He... has become completely embodied.
Ye Jiang looked at him for a long time, then dispersed the giant sword.
Therefore, I no longer need to suppress myself.
Ye Jiang understood the young man's unspoken meaning.
So it wasn't that they were being bullied after all.
Ye Jiang understood, and then she handed the battlefield back to the other side.
After all, we had an agreement.

City M, Headquarters of the Ability Control Bureau.
Zhu Yi was holding a meeting with a group of officials.
"Let's launch a counterattack." The Healer left the Ability Control Bureau with these words in mind.
The Healer is actually the owner of the Blood Moon, and also the owner of the Moon Tree and the Legendary Mall!
She said she wanted to launch a counterattack.
Humanity's three-hundred-year-old faith is going to launch a counterattack, so...
Then let's launch a counterattack!
But how can we launch a counterattack?
Zhu Yi led his men to urgently convene a counterattack meeting to discuss and formulate a plan.
The Ability Control Bureau's dedicated communicator stood silently to the side. He was just a low-level superhuman, and he was there to provide the Ability System to everyone in the conference room. A significant portion of the Ability Control Bureau's leaders were ordinary people, and since the signal tower was destroyed and the signal was lost, humans had turned to using the [Communication] module in the Ability System for information transmission.
The messenger listened to the leaders discussing the plan, his heart pounding with excitement.
At that moment, the system in front of him suddenly notified him of a new post.
He looked at it solemnly.
[Report: There are 4 S-Rank Polluted in Huanxia City. Our forces have gathered 4 S-Rank individuals and are preparing for a counterattack. -- Xiao Pei.]
"A report from Captain Xiao!"
The messenger exclaimed excitedly.
In the conference room, all the attendees turned to look at him, and a second later surrounded him. They examined Xiao Pei's report, and after reading it, they all showed delight.
"This is truly wonderful news!" exclaimed one of the leaders.
The Ability Control Bureau had a premonition that something unexpected had happened in Huanxia City, but since three days was the normal mission period, they held back. In fact, they could hardly spare any manpower to go and provide support, and could only send support after the agreed five days had passed.
Captain Xiao's return to the team was one of their pleasant surprises; she was available and could go check on the situation.
The Ability Control Bureau was initially worried about the situation in Huanxia City, but unexpectedly, Xiao Pei brought good news!
The huge weight was finally lifted from everyone's hearts in the conference room. Just then, the communications officer in front of them suddenly fell into a daze.
What's wrong?
Fortunately, the dazed state only lasted for a second, after which the communications officer returned to normal.
Upon regaining consciousness, the communications officer saw his worried leaders. His eyes were slightly red, filled with suppressed excitement. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Just now, I... I received a miracle—healing and the gift of strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, system notification sounds bombarded him, one after another.
[Report: The rescue plan for City C encountered a slight setback, but we can continue fighting. A miracle has occurred, and we will fight to the very end!]
[Report: City N will repay this miracle with a victory!]
[Report: Everything is fine in City W. The city's superhumans wanted to leave to support the neighboring city, but a miracle has occurred! Let's launch a counterattack!]
[Report: City H...]
Reports were being updated rapidly.
The leaders of the Ability Control Bureau were all stunned. They had not seen such vibrant vitality for a long time. Their soldiers had been fighting for so long and were actually exhausted. The deaths of their comrades had worn down their energy, and the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders made it difficult for them to move forward. But now they had "come back to life" and were full of vigor.
... Was it because a miracle happened?
The communications officer drew back the curtains and opened the window of the conference room. Everyone looked and saw the colossal gate that reached straight into the sky. It was like a pillar that stabilized the world and calmed people's hearts.
The system is still refreshing the report.
[Report: I saw the legendary Healer, leading the monsters into the fallen zone... I saw her shower crimson snow upon the fallen zone, and our comrades awoke... I saw her wield the Blood Moon, the moon transforming in her hand into a sword pointing at the "World Destroyer"... Our legendary Healer... Is she our "miracle"? -- Ordinary vision-enhanced superhuman citizen A.]
