The toxin obtained from the Eastern District player’s mind has been experimented with, and it can be neutralized using King Fungus. This indicates that the toxin used to modify players might not be very high-level or rare. In any case, King Fungus can cure it immediately, unlike the mutated fungus that swept through 014 before, which required King Fungus to proliferate in the patient’s body for a long time or supply in large quantities to be effective, just a single dose can cure.

Therefore, cultivating King Fungus to replicate the Black Rain incident can completely serve as a backup plan.

Xu Huo took out the Nüwa Stone and placed it into the water storage system, then planted King Fungus on it to let it grow slowly.

During the waiting period, he also didn’t miss the news from Argor Headquarters. As Argor’s control over the city weakened, some surveillance drones took to the skies, capturing thrilling images that were transmitted to the Collection of Information Terminal one after another.

At this point, the extraordinarily powerful Spatial Evolver and the player who attempted to assassinate Xu Huo were finally revealed.

From the video content, although the Super Evolver can use Spatial Rays to make space stagnate, he is clearly not on the same path as Xue Lang. He still can’t arbitrarily use Spatial Rays to harvest lives, but he utilizes Spatial Barriers and Spatial Ray Blade quite well, with many players dying at his hands.

As for the other player, he is an old man with gray hair who stands inside Argor’s building from start to finish, only making a move every five minutes. Yet, every time he acts, it’s a one-hit kill. If the targeted player doesn’t have a passive life-saving prop, it’s often difficult for them to escape solely relying on their reflexes. It’s unclear whether he uses props or characteristics, but his success rate and lethality should not be underestimated.

There are no shortage of Super Evolvers among Outer Zone players. They attempted to kill the old man three times in a row but failed each time, either being stopped by Eastern District players or due to the old man’s cooldown time, allowing him to execute a wave of harvesting.

However, judging from these several attacks, compared to the Space-oriented Super Evolver who kills people all over the battlefield, this old man will not easily leave the building, and his targets are always those with strong capabilities, specifically those Outer Zone players who killed many Eastern District players.

So far, the deaths and injuries near the Argor Headquarters building have mainly resulted from direct confrontations between the warring parties. Although some have attempted to blow up the building, such attempts are typically thwarted by the Space-oriented Super Evolver active on the battlefield.

Xu Huo has watched videos from different angles and perspectives to track this player’s activity. Generally, small explosions, like those from instruments or specially designed weapons, don’t have much power. The trigger-type instruments buried under Argor can fully detect the impact from explosions and erect a Defensive Barrier at the first instance, controlling the impact as much as possible. In such an environment, small explosions cause minimal damage to players.

The real threat comes from Spatial Explosion Props similar to the "Little Mushroom Cloud". These props are convenient to carry, compact overall, and have few usage limitations, making them easy to use with considerable lethality. Although they are quite rare props, considering the many people from the Eastern District, they can still gather a few of them. Therefore, in these videos, about five such explosions were recorded.

The first two props had already taken effect, and their holders had evacuated in advance, leaving the props in areas packed with Eastern District players. But at that moment, the Super Evolver appeared, performing a motion like covering something with both hands, and then the explosion’s shockwave was confined within a certain range. From the video, it can be seen that this layer of Defensive Barrier is nearly transparent, and the compressed shape of the shockwave forms roughly a cylinder with a diameter of twenty meters and a height of thirty meters—this invisible barrier perfectly suppressed the power of the Spatial Explosion Props.

The third and fourth attempts were not even as successful as the first two. The moment two players took out the props, they were discovered by the Super Evolver, and both they and the props were sealed inside the barrier together, resulting in severe injuries from self-inflicted explosions, followed by being killed by other players on the spot.

The fifth player was a bit luckier. His prop required pre-setup, but during the process, he got caught and faced continuous pursuits. Ultimately, he had to abandon the idea of blowing up the building, escaping with great difficulty.

It’s safe to say Argor’s Super Evolver perfectly controlled the scene, single-handedly sealing all the major weapons of the Outer Zone players.

Because the Space-oriented Super Evolution itself holds a significant advantage, players who haven’t undergone Secondary Evolution may sense the Spatial Power with props but lack a more detailed understanding, only groping out a rough idea. Defensive measures are sufficient, but attacks appeared weak. However, the Super Evolver’s offensive prowess wasn’t weak, separated by an unbreakable one-way barrier, leaving Outer Zone players at a disadvantage.

Of course, there are methods to counter Super Evolvers, and that is by using Spatial Interference Props or instruments. Props have varying effective ranges and focus on either attack or defense. However, these props or instruments often have very singular powers, such as defense only defending or attacks possibly only fixing one point. For example, Xu Huo’s customized Wormhole Flower Bracelet can reduce the intensity of Spatial Rays, or the Spatial Instrument "Glass House" is just a large-range protective barrier, limited to only that, not flexible enough and possibly causing mutual interference. Hence, even if some stronger Outer Zone players teamed up to besiege the Super Evolver, they repeatedly suffered defeats due to the props and instruments’ flaws or lack of collaboration, not to mention the old man’s coordination.

After several attempts, some Outer Zone players gradually withdrew from the battlefield.

However, this did not change the war situation. Because players from the same region joined the battle, compared to the weaker Resistance Army and the Outer Zone players, most of whom came to Yuquan City due to an instance and had similar levels, these players who purposely came to join the fray were of much higher level. In just ten minutes, they managed to detonate the first Spatial Explosion Prop, blowing open the Defensive Barrier outside Argor Headquarters’ main building.

At this point, the attacking players truly entered Argor Headquarters.

Most of the personnel from Argor Headquarters had evacuated before the battle or during the recent stalemate, leaving mainly players behind. The battle between both sides gradually moved to within the building as Outer Zone players and same-region players clashed with Eastern District players while searching around the building. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Do you think we’re fools? You’ve been fighting outside for so long, and the important items and data in the building have certainly been moved away!" A severely injured Eastern District player said while coughing up blood, "A bunch of idiots being used, sacrificing props and lives, ridiculous!"

A passing Outer Zone player decisively slit his throat, saying to his companion nearby, "Even if not in possession, they are in minds, capture and interrogate as needed, if they don’t talk, kill them; kill enough, someone will break."
