Chapter 509: Non-human Combat Power, Evenly Matched?

SWOOSH!

High in the blue sky, a streak of rainbow light flashed past like a shooting star.

A flying eagle Mutant Beast blocking the path was struck by a shell, its wings snapping as it plummeted from the firmament.

Upon closer look, it was actually a silver-gray hovercar, spewing tail flames as it sped through the vast sky.

“Sir, this is the defense map of Fortress Mountain City.” A voice rang out inside the hovercar’s cabin. Several Superpower Level experts stood beside a command light screen projecting a sandbox map. One of them actively manipulated the screen, projecting the defensive layout of Fortress Mountain City. “According to frontline reports, a total of nine Superpower Team leaders and Alliance Country army commanders are stationed there. The newly appointed Inspector Chen possesses combat power suspected to rival a veteran at the Transcendence Level, and he has also subdued a Beast King. What do you think?”

“They won’t be able to hold them off,” a deep voice replied, carrying a hint of gravity.

A muscular man in a customized silver-gray combat suit stood surrounded by the others in the center.

“The Klar Civilization’s Superpower system and technological prowess far exceed ours. The geniuses of their civilization cannot be measured by the standards of an ordinary Transcendence Level.” His expression was stern, showing little optimism for Fortress Mountain City’s defensive strength. Staring at the light screen with heavy eyes, he continued, “According to Mr. Ji’s instructions, the combat power of these individuals is likely infinitely close to the Non-human Level. They might have even surpassed the Superpower Level altogether.

“With superior Martial Skills, combat armor, and Electromagnetic Kinetic Energy Weapons from a galactic civilization… Inspector Chen and the others will struggle to hold out for long.”

As his words fell, the atmosphere grew heavy.

The Superpower Level experts present exchanged glances, their expressions shifting. None doubted his words. After all, this was the powerhouse they followed—a Peak Transcendence Level expert renowned throughout the entire Alliance Country.

“Sir, how should we proceed later?” someone asked anxiously, fully aware of how difficult this task would be to handle. Setting aside the sheer strength of these Clare geniuses themselves, the Klar Civilization backing them was an untouchable issue.

The cabin fell silent.

The man surrounded in the center remained quiet for a moment before sighing softly. “If that member of the Clare People truly appears, I will do my best to stop him. But if nothing can be done…” His face solemn, he shook his head helplessly. “We’ll have no choice but to bring out Mr. Ji’s name.”

Hearing this, everyone revealed a trace of bitterness. Only Non-human Level experts could command respect from these visitors from the Starry Sky. Yet, looking across the entire Alliance Country, how many such powerhouses were there?

For a time, the interior of the hovercar was exceptionally silent.

On the synchronous display of the detection light screen sent back during the flight, a mountain fortress—a wilderness city—appeared at the edge of the desolate wasteland.

Seeing this scene, the Superpower Level experts secretly held their breath, attempting to adjust their auras to peak condition. Surrounded in the center, the Peak Transcendence Level man in the silver-gray combat suit also had a grave look in his eyes. Watching Fortress Mountain City draw closer on the screen, he prepared himself for a fight to the death.

“I hope… the casualties for Inspector Chen and the others won’t be too severe.”

BOOM!

Suddenly, an explosion rang out, shattering all their thoughts. Everyone froze, their gazes shooting toward the detection screen in unison.

As the image zoomed in, the current state of Mountain City came into clear view. Doubt, astonishment, stupor… Countless expressions surfaced on their faces.

BOOM!

At Fortress Mountain City.

Flames soared into the sky as an armored iron vehicle at the city gates exploded and disintegrated. Two figures stood amidst the molten iron and raging fire, their fists violently colliding, ignoring the shrapnel tearing through the air around them.

The shockwave from their clash shook the earth, shattering and collapsing the ground near the city gates and sending spiderweb-like cracks spreading outward for meters.

CLATTER!

CLATTER!

The air currents formed by the shockwaves turned into howling gales that scraped against faces like blades. They battered the surrounding deformed and dented armored cars, forcing them to slide backward and plow through the dirt. Countless pieces of iron shrapnel flew like bullets, piercing through the walls of nearby buildings with a rapid THWIP THWIP THWIP.

“This…”

In the distance, Yue Zhenhong’s eyes widened. One by one, the Superpower Team leaders who had just stumbled to their feet instinctively raised their hands to shield their faces. They blocked the onslaught of iron shrapnel in the face of the rushing shockwaves, sliding backward.

Astonishment, shock… all sorts of emotions appeared on their faces.

Being the closest, Chen Junhao forced himself to peel his body off an armored car. Swaying unsteadily, he stared fixedly at the center of the street, a mere seven or eight meters away.

BOOM!

Another Fist Seal struck out, triggering an explosive sonic boom.

Dressed in a black suit, Celestial Hunter’s face was hardened and cold. Dominant and indifferent like an iron man, he stood firmly in place, blocking the Silver-armored Man’s full-force strike. The ground beneath his feet cracked and splintered, while rings of white steam swirled and dispersed from the sides of his body.

As their eyes met, it was as if he could see the pair of icy eyes right through the opponent’s silver-armored visor.

“You’ve successfully angered me.”

BOOM!

A blue arc of light suddenly flashed, and the Silver-armored Man vanished in an instant.

In the next fraction of a second, he appeared behind Lu Chao. Suspended in mid-air, liquid tail flames erupted into bloom behind him. His silver-armored right leg flashed with blue arcs of light, slashing straight toward Lu Chao’s neck like a battleax.

THUD!

A muffled blast erupted as a ring of white steam violently dispersed.

Lu Chao raised his right arm like a shield. His suit exploded, revealing his burly, half-naked torso. Thick blue veins coiled around him like serpents, and his sculpted muscles were as thick and sturdy as concrete blocks.

He steadily blocked the opponent’s fatal strike. The moment he tilted his head slightly, the coldness in his peripheral vision was fully displayed as he met the attacker’s gaze.

SWISH!

Stomping the ground, Lu Chao twisted his body and furiously thrust out the left fist he had been charging at his waist.

Titan’s Power and Frenzy State had already been activated. The perfected Thunder Extreme Secret Technique also provided a massive boost, elevating him to an unprecedented level of power. Every ounce of his strength turned violent and frantic at this moment, condensing into his left fist before smashing straight toward the opponent’s chest.
