Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 848: The Power of Science

"Wow, as expected of the Child of Origin! A dose that could kill over a thousand people, and not only are you still alive, but you're also able to talk in such a short time!" Pei Yan quipped as he looked at Flamel's body, still convulsing, "Of course, I was lying to you! This gold coin was just a prop used to release the wheel, the real poison was subtly infused into your body at the start of the battle. But at that time, all your body's indicators were at their peak, and source energy protected your meridians and body. Even if I launched a bacterial attack, I thought you would quickly find a way to suppress it. But now, after casting multiple forbidden spells, aren't you at the point of exhaustion? Can you still suppress these bacteria?"

"Huff! Huff! Cough! Cough! Cough! Ugh!" Under Pei Yan's deliberate mockery, Flamel wheezed like an old bellows, and after a bout of labored breathing, he began to cough dryly and vomit blood.

"This is the biotechnology of my sister's supernatural abilities. Unlike me, who absorbs a technological weapon with each level up, she can awaken branches like bionics, genetics, and cell biology with each advancement and apply them as supernatural powers to herself. The transformations you see from her fusion of various biological genes, the damage caused to the Hundred-eyed Titan's cells previously, and the bacteria now tormenting your body, are all aspects of her basic abilities!" Pei Yan crouched down on the ground, stabbing his finger into Flamel's body while muttering.

"You're telling me so much about your sister's abilities, are you not planning to let me leave alive?" After being poked dozens of times like a dead pig, Flamel asked back with a bitter smile.

"Whether I say it or not, these things can be analyzed by someone after this battle. Besides, do you still intend to leave alive? Although Ye Ruozai hopes to spare your life so he can deal with you personally once he's stronger, I think it's better to nip it in the bud!" Pei Yan said, raising a finger to point at Flamel's forehead coldly. "How many substitute puppets do you have left?"

"You guess!"

A line of source energy effortlessly pierced Flamel's undefended forehead, and as the body in front of him turned to a pile of mud, Pei Yan shook his head reluctantly, stood up from the ground, and took a few steps back, waiting for Flamel's resurrection.

"Fire-based forbidden spell. Termi..." Flamel, still reconstructing his human form, began to cast a forbidden spell. However, before he could finish, a steely hand clamped over his mouth.

"Do you still not understand the gap between us? Fire-based forbidden spell? Let me show you what a true fire-based forbidden spell is!" Pei Yan grabbed Flamel's jaw with one hand while pointing to the sky with another, where a ball of energy emitting a dazzling light quickly condensed at his fingertip. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"The difference between us lies in consumption and casting time! My supernatural abilities require me to consume a significant amount of my reserve, whereas my sister only needs to consume a bit of source energy to unleash toxins that can easily kill most low-level ability users!"

As the energy ball at Pei Yan's fingertip grew larger, Flamel, with terrified and incredulous eyes, faced the next wave of taunts, "Your so-called forbidden spells, except for those involving space, time, or the elusive concept of fate, which one can match the power of basic planar scientific weapons? What gives you the audacity to call yourselves gods and regard us as ants to be crushed at will? Today, I'll let you experience what scientific power really is. The strongest fire-based forbidden spell is nothing but a joke in front of it. Feel it well, it's so powerful I've been forbidden to use it! After all, it doesn't matter if this competition space is destroyed, does it?"

"Quick! Quick! Stop him!" Cyril, the leader of the Magic Realm outside the venue, teleported to the viewing area in the investigation hall, roaring at Gu Shenghui without regard for appearances.

"I think you've got it wrong! In the arena, they are still enemies. Just now, when my subordinate was on the brink of death, I didn't rush to the Magic Realm viewing seats and give orders in such an arrogant manner." Gu Shenghui, facing Cyril's exposed murderous intent in anger, crushed his cigarette butt and looked up with a face full of disdain and cold laughter. At these words, everyone in the investigation hall scattered with a sudden noise, forming a circle enclosing Cyril in the middle.

Seeing that a massive brawl between the two factions outside the arena was about to break out, the Immortal Palace elder responsible for maintaining order hurried to intervene, "Calm down! Everyone calm down! This is a Sword Discussion Conference, a gathering to exchange martial skills—a relationship of allies! Allies!"

"Allies? Our Child of Origin is about to be killed; a team half dead and half crippled, and still allies!" Cyril reprimanded forcefully, unsheathing a longsword, "Now, have him stop attacking, and we are still allies, but if not, let's go to war!"

"Shameless to the extreme! When attacking my subordinate, I didn't see your people showing any mercy! Sword fights can lead to fatalities; before entering the competition, everyone knows this by heart! Afraid to die? Go home and hide under the covers like a good child!" Gu Shenghui, speaking, rose into the air, facing Cyril's longsword without retreating a step, provocatively saying, "Who are you scaring with talk of war! If you want to fight, then come! Let's see who can walk out of this arena alive today!"

Five team members risked their lives on the field to earn respect, and there is no reason to throw it all away outside the arena.

"Calm down, calm down! Listen to me for a moment! Listen to me!" Interposing himself between the two groups, continuously calming both sides, he turned to Gu Shenghui with a bow and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu, though it's not my place to say this, but could you please ask Pei Xiaoyou to retract his divine power!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shenghui did not find it amusing. Frowning, he was about to react when the Immortal Palace elder quickly explained, "This is not the Immortal Palace being partial; it's just that the energy released by Pei Xiaoyou is about to exceed the limits that the competition space can withstand. Fellow Daoist Gu! You wouldn't want to see the space shattered and the released energies affecting the innocent, would you? There are tens of thousands of spectators from various planes here! If they get hurt, the investigation hall will be the first to be held accountable!"

Hearing this explanation, Gu Shenghui realized the seriousness of the issue. The difference between becoming an enemy to one plane and being at odds with all planes was clear to him. Considering this, a troubled expression appeared on Gu Shenghui's face as he hesitated, "But even if I want to, I can't stop it! He's already in the competition space!"

"That's not difficult. Please follow me to the array center, where there is a magical artifact for transmitting sound! You must stop Pei Xiaoyou from going any further, and as for the outcome of the competition, the Immortal Palace will certainly give the investigation hall a fair settlement!"
