Chapter 460: Chapter 439: Recapture (Extra 2 from Alliance Hierarch with the last digits 9483!)
In Secret Phoenix City’s Lower City District, three figures stood atop the roof of a building slated for demolition. The night breeze, laden with dust and the faint stench of sewage, blew in from the city area sparsely lit in the distance, carrying with it the children’s chants echoing from the street below.
The lyrics were full of childlike whimsy, although the tape seemed somewhat old, occasionally jerking and sputtering.
On the third loop of the nursery rhyme, Tang Qi’s companion, the agent codenamed "Stone-Eyed", slightly turned his head. A grave expression emerged in his eyes beneath the mask as he gestured to Tang Qi and another bald man named Andy.
"Here it comes!"
Before the hint was given, Tang Qi had already been the first to look up at the night sky.
Within the pitch-dark veil of night, abruptly there materialized a black spot, approaching at a frightening speed.
Soon, as the spot drew nearer, most of its bodily outline became distinct.
Shockingly, it was a nearly four-meter-tall creature, its body covered with scales. With limbs and torso, bundles of eye-popping muscles gathered together, distributed across its body in a form utterly unlike that of humans.
Particularly in the chest area, two slabs of plate-like muscles moved with its breath, resembling animated armor.
Under its ribs, bat-like membranous wings stretched out, flapping and stirring the airflow.
What drew the most attention, however, was its head. Its facial bones elongated like a lizard’s, with a pair of blood-red vertical pupils that reflected cruelty, bloodlust, and cunning.
"A cold-blooded creature?"
This thought barely surfaced in Tang Qi’s mind when the monster, as if catching a scent, twitched its nostrils. Below them appeared gills with four slits. Without hesitation and guided by the scent of ice cream to its nose, a childlike innocence surprisingly flickered in its cruel eyes.
Boom!
Hiss!
A deep pit abruptly appeared in the hard ground, and the rising dust was instantly dispersed by a burst of searing hot steam.
With wisps of fiery red, this steam was bursting forth from its gills and beneath the scales, scorching everything in its path black.
It became frenzied, an unstoppable blur before the ice cream truck window. From its lizard-like mouth, a forked tongue snaked out, its voice conveying both cold expectation and confused delight.
"Surprise... flavor!"
As YDF-066 finished speaking, the agent codenamed "Skinny Bird" began operating the ice cream truck. His hands were completely steady, and his eyes perfectly calm, as if he were a machine, not a living human.
Three seconds later, a vivid red ice cream cone was handed to the monster.
The leftover shadows flickered away, and the cone was already in the grasp of the monster, its pale red scales starkly visible.
Given the size of its mouth, it could’ve swallowed the ice cream whole.
Yet, it licked vigorously with its forked tongue amidst hissing sounds.
The scene was both childishly innocent and disgustingly terrifying.
At this moment, two balls of ghost light exploded in the depths of Tang Qi’s eyes.
The smaller one naturally belonged to the ice cream cone.
"Curio: Surprise Flavor Ice Cream, made from top-quality sugar and fresh human flesh..."
Anticipating the disgust, Tang Qi quickly looked at the larger ball of light.
A special image slowly formed.
[Extraordinary Creature: YDF-066.]
[State: In a state of confusion.]
[Information Fragment One: An unknown species from an Exotic Realm, this is a wandering individual. According to the age calculation of its species, this individual is in its youth. They possess a certain degree of Undying Ability and are endowed with Super Speed, Super Power, Super Perception. They can freely alter their body form and self-evolve various Adaptability abilities.]
[Information Fragment Two: They are powerless against specific Transcendent-class foods, with Surprise Flavor Ice Cream being one such kind. It can induce a three-minute confusion state in them—other than Passive Counterattacks, they won’t contemplate anything else.]

Information Fragments flowed one by one.
Meanwhile, Mr. Andy, standing beside Tang Qi, let out a low roar after the "Stone-Eyed" agent nodded. He immediately leapt down from the high building.
Boom!
A large crater appeared in an instant.
Yet, this huge commotion failed to disturb the monster savouring its treat—it didn’t even lift its head for a glance.
Tang Qi and the agents around, ready for action, remained unnoticed as if the "Super Perception" referenced in the information had become ineffective.
"Boom!"
From within the dust cloud, a figure charged like a tank.
In the process, Andy, already resembling a small giant, rapidly swelled in size, undergoing a petrification reaction. When his fist, now a boulder half as big as a car wheel, swung towards the monster’s head, it seemed ready to burst the air.
The terrifying power created an air current swooping in before the punch itself.
A new special image formed in Tang Qi’s mind.
[Extraordinary Creature: Giant Rock Warrior.]
[State: Combat Form.]
[Information Fragment One: A transcendent who has taken the special potion Giant Rock Secret Medicine possesses strength beyond that of an ordinary person even before transforming. Upon entering combat form, his combat power leaps into the Professional Level, with extraordinarily terrifying strength and defense.]
[Information Fragment Two: Highly likely to be a Secret Medicine Warrior cultivated by some Secret Medicine School.]
Although there had been some speculation beforehand, the revelation still caused Tang Qi to show a hint of surprise.
"Cultivating Secret Medicine Warriors is an effective means for most Secret Medicine Schools to develop and protect themselves. If I remember correctly, Giant Rock Secret Medicine seems to come from the Earth Heart Secret Medicine School. Unlike lesser-known traditions such as the Original Secret Medicine School, Earth Heart is both a massive and a lax organization."
"Giant Rock Warriors are one of the most common types of warriors they cultivate."
"Boom~ Bang bang bang!"
As Tang Qi’s mind raced with thoughts, two figures had already begun to brawl in front of the ice cream truck.
More precisely, Andy was getting thrashed.
He had transformed into a Rock Giant, possessing the terrifying power and defense to dismantle buildings bare-handedly, but he couldn’t even touch ’YDF-066,’ who, still licking his ice cream, could turn into an afterimage to easily dodge Andy’s pounding.
And with a casual punch it threw, Andy sustained horrible damage.
Bang!
Both Tang Qi and the Stone-Eyed Agent watched as Andy swung his fists, but before he could touch the monster, a scale-covered fist got there first, slamming with uncanny precision into Andy’s temple. The hard rock couldn’t resist the damage from the scorching red steam.
He was sent flying, and as he soared through the air, a piece of information labeled "Severe injury" flickered through Tang Qi’s eyes.
Almost at the same time, ’YDF-066’ had licked the surprise-flavored ice cream in its hand down to the last few bites.
Just as the Stone-Eyed Agent was about to say something, Tang Qi’s figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was right in front of that monster, sweeping terrifying red flames that bizarrely bypassed ’YDF-066,’ scorching towards the ice cream truck behind it, the fiery curse mingled with an undercurrent of Melting Furnace Power.
’YDF-066,’ following its instincts, let out an angry roar. It had no resistance to the surprise-flavored ice cream, and as for the truck that could produce such ice cream, it subconsciously acted as its guardian.
It stood upright abruptly, spreading its massive wing membranes, attempting to block Tang Qi’s Flame Spell.
A degree of Undying Ability meant that it almost never used defense-oriented combat stances.
Hence, at this moment, Tang Qi was able to pull out "Evil Dragon Roar" right in front of it.
As it guarded the ice cream truck and tried to lick the last bite of the surprise-flavored ice cream, a horrific roar echoed down the desolate street, turning into the black maw of a gun barrel, entwined with two angry dragons.
Pointed directly at the two slabs of muscle on ’YDF-066’s chest, which, to most Combat Class transcendent beings, were the hardest parts.
The barrel pressed against it, and Tang Qi slowly pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets cascaded like a torrent, theoretically endless as long as the Molten Magic in Tang Qi’s body didn’t run out.
The bullets, formed from Molten Magic and bolstered by the explosive malice of the Cave Demon Dragon and the Azte Poison Dragon, bombarded the same spot over and over.
In a single breath!
Just a breath later, the monster, having licked its last, saw wisdom return to its once vacant eyes.
Deceit and ruthlessness emerged, and in an instant, it realized its peril, with red steam capable of killing a Professional Transcendent in an instant ready to erupt explosively.
But before that could happen, it heard an unbelievable sound.
"Bang~ crack!"
The cold blood in its eyes turned to panic as it felt the chest muscles under its plating shatter in an instant. All over its body, the bundles of special muscle that could unleash explosive power, these terrifying streams of steam, started to pop with "thump thump thump" sounds.
Muscle bundles snapped, one after another.
It was like a disassembled machine or a completely drained athlete, helplessly slumping down.
In Tang Qi’s eyes, the information fragments jumped with truth.
"State: Severe injury!"
Tang Qi stopped shooting, retracting the Evil Dragon Roar that was emitting wisps of blue smoke, his gaze fixed on the ground. Stripped of its fearsome outer muscles, the red interior was revealed, like a product of highly concentrated energy.
Regardless of flesh, all possessed the capacity for explosive power and an endless source of extraordinary regenerative strength.
In his mind, a strong urge arose to kill it and use it as fuel.
But after a moment’s contemplation, Tang Qi relinquished the thought.
By that time, the Stone-Eyed Agent, having dealt with the Giant Rock Warrior’s injuries, let out a whistle from beneath his mask, and several afterimages appeared, each carrying a huge silver-white suitcase. They opened them on the spot, assembling a coffin-like box made of unknown metal with a square-like shape.
Inside, a liquid with a strong pungent smell rapidly filled the box.
The Stone-Eyed Agent stretched out his pale hand, caressed the one-eyed symbol on his mask a few times, and a low chanting spell resounded.
Suddenly, a strange wind whipped up, enveloping ’YDF-066,’ which was nearly melting the ground into a large pit, and slowly lowered it into the coffin.
Following the "sizzling" sound, the coffin sealed slowly.
"YDF-066, has been re-contained!"
In that rich voice, there finally came a hint of joy.
