Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 819 - 591 The First Advent_2

"Splurt!" Discarding the Storm Warrior's body like trash, the captain of Eternal Night City licked the Vajra Claw Blade, which seemed to grow straight from the gaps in his knuckle bones.

His cold gaze shifted to the next Storm Warrior, and his figure vanished into thin air in an instant.

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit, holy shit!"

"The people from Blackwater City have bitten off more than they can chew... This captain from Eternal Night City is insane, they can't hold onto their victory."

"Can't hold it? So what? It's just an exhibition match, win or lose, it doesn't affect anything..."

"Do you really think nothing is affected? Even among members of the Supreme Council, these cities definitely jockey for dominant positions. Whoever wins the exhibition match gains more power in the future."

"Blackwater City wanted to make a show of it against Eternal Night City, but it seems like they've overplayed their hand."

The constant twists unfolding on the field left spectators overwhelmed.

Most people couldn't keep up with the movement trajectories of the warriors on the field; even the cameras recording the scene struggled to capture the combat properly, despite slowing the footage down countless times. The low frame rate barely reconstructed reality.

The vast majority watched in confusion, catching glimpses of the contestants only during momentary pauses to determine who held the upper hand.

One moment, it was an Eternal Night City warrior being pummeled; the next, a Blackwater City warrior getting impaled.

The scene was full of surprises, baffling as it was, yet garnering suspense about the ultimate outcome in everyone's hearts.

'They are no match.'

'That claw blade... it looks familiar.'

Far away in Blackwater City's preparation zone, Bai E squinted slightly, mentally communicating with the "Believers."

With the help of "Node Perception," the consciousness points of five warriors within the "Collective Will" glowed vividly.

A thought moved, and Bai E's mind projection drifted toward one chosen target, as though his soul were leaving his body.

The first sensation of "descent" was mesmerizing for Bai E.

He retained the vision from his own body and could even use his consciousness to control its movements.

However, an inexplicable sense of detachment lingered, akin to delayed reactions in his actions.

Simultaneously, he could see through the perspective of one of his subordinate Storm Warriors.

The powerful energy coursing within was inexhaustible, a force entirely different from his own physical strength.

Tightly enclosed within armor, the sensation of bondage constantly affected the entire body; every detail of the armor seemed to be directly connected to the skin, infinitely sensitive.

Meanwhile, his mental projection "looked" at another transparent soul form residing within the body under his control.

This soul, fragile and delicate before him, seemed like it could be obliterated with a single thought.

Strangely, with the aid of Node Perception, Bai E knew the warrior hosting his projection was also aware of everything he could do to him.

From the onset of the descent, such knowledge would be instinctively acquired.

Yet, despite this, the warrior resolutely trusted him... with an absolutely manic fervor of worship and belief!

The simultaneous images from both perspectives synchronized within Bai E's perception during the descent, but his predominant consciousness aligned with the sensations received from the host warrior. Actions unfolded seamlessly, without the slightest delay.

"Boom!"

The Spiritual Energy aura exploded outward, drawing immediate attention from experts in the field to the warrior Bai E controlled. Their expressions shifted to surprise and uncertainty...

"He..."

"What's going on?"

"Why is he suddenly unleashing such power? Wasn't he supposed to have no Spiritual Energy abilities?!"

"Hiding it this deeply? To the point where even I didn't notice?"

"But this Spiritual Energy... something feels off about it."

A blond man who had grown somewhat acquainted with Bai E during the days of the match cast a puzzled gaze at Bai E sitting on the sidelines, his eyes flickering. "Is it him?"

Their understanding of the captain of Eternal Night City's strength was relatively clear to both of them; among the crowd, it was difficult for anyone else to overpower him in duels or small skirmishes.

Despite that, he had insisted that his subordinates forfeit voluntarily, dragging the exhibition match into the team battle phase.

It was hard to explain such a decision without an ironclad determination to win.

And factoring in the warrior's unique Spiritual Energy erupting at this moment, suspicions naturally pointed toward Bai E.

'But… granting your abilities to another warrior across space—can a human really do something like this?!'

The War God was shaken to the core, newly aware that even he may not fully understand this fellow human from the peripheral city, Blackwater.

Meanwhile, witnessing the transformation in his opponent firsthand, the captain of Eternal Night City was utterly dumbfounded. His eyes bulged grotesquely as he stared in disbelief at the warrior Bai E possessed. "How can you… How can you have this ability?!"

Under his visor, the warrior's face revealed a cold smirk.

Approaching closer, Bai E confirmed one of his earlier suspicions—

Diamond Chitin Claw Blade!

Only this substance could so effortlessly tear apart the Storm Warrior's eight-alloy armor. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Something that only existed in the Bug Race's "Hive Guardians" pincers appeared in humanity's hands… and even seemed to sprout directly from flesh!

This wasn't an explanation mere technological modification could provide.

There was a far deeper secret hidden within the body of that Eternal Night City captain!

"Bai E" raised his Longsword, instinctively commanding his armor to explode outward.

"Boom!"

A sonic boom echoed across the arena, leaving members from other city delegations close to the field clutching their ears as a high-pitched ringing erupted amidst the acoustics.

"Super…supersonic speed…"

"Where the hell are Blackwater City's true limits?!"

Every time people thought they'd pushed their limits, the warriors from Blackwater City would unveil a level of unmatched strength that stunned the crowd, as though proclaiming, "What you saw before was mere play."

No matter who they faced, they crushed opponents with overpowering dominance.

The Sovereign Blade's aura enveloped the Dynamic Source Sword, creating a swarm of a hundred blade shadows that left the captain of Eternal Night City no room for evasion.

Facing the incoming dense sword net, the captain's dark pupils revealed palpable fear. "No!"

A shriek, barely human, tore through the air as slashes riddled the captain's body within moments.

The fleeing figure froze forever in an attempt to escape.

"Dead… dead…"

"He actually killed Eternal Night City's captain?"

"With provocation like this, can the alliance even hold together?"

"The alliance doesn't need Eternal Night if it can't. For all the sins they've committed coming this far, dying is what they deserve! If they dare utter nonsense, even their Supreme Council seat can be revoked! The alliance doesn't need allies who would brutalize their own kind like this!"

Only the diplomatic envoy from Eternal Night City burst forth, blood and tears upon his face, accusing Bai E and Blackwater City's preparation zone. "What did you do?!"

"That was our most promising warrior, and you killed him like this!"

"You'll regret it! You'll definitely regret it!"

"Our Eternal Night City…"

Bai E's possessed warrior turned, locking his gaze on the target.

His Longsword tilted toward the corpse of the Eternal Night City captain, his tone utterly detached as he reminded them, "See for yourselves."

As the life force drained from the captain's body, an invisible field dissipated, revealing a purplish-black octopus-like head beneath, visible to all eyes...
