Chapter 909: Who Exactly Are You?!

Yin Yi stared blankly at the man before her. Her mind buzzed, yet she firmly engraved his words in her heart.

So... so cool...

It was as if she could clearly feel his heart beating.

And at that moment, she finally felt that she had gained an entirely new understanding of Mr. Lynn.

Beneath that playful, carefree smile, another side of him had always been hidden, one that no one knew about. Though he always seemed chaotic and evil, he knew exactly where his limits lay. He regarded Earth as his hometown, and that attachment seemed to have long since become an untouchable taboo in his heart.

She should have seen it much sooner.

Whether with her or Bai Yi, he had been unusually accommodating, even putting up with all sorts of unreasonable demands from them...

And the sole reason was simply that they came from that blue world, the pure land he yearned for.

“I understand!”

Yin Yi gazed at him with resolute determination. Her translucent hand gripped the lapel of his shirt tightly. She was like a fledgling protected beneath someone’s umbrella, but one day she would leave and set foot on this chaotic, evil land alone.

Bang!

With the final gunshot, countless ethereal chains closed in.

The vertical pupils that had appeared throughout the chamber were all torn to shreds beneath that storm of attacks. The entire chamber was a chaotic mess, filled with foul-smelling slime and blood. The madness of it was enough to drive anyone out of their mind.

“All Bio-armaments have been eliminated. Target damage: 0.”

At the Aberration’s report, the Flesh and Blood Humanoids in the chamber clenched their teeth and stared fixedly at the monitoring screen. Lynn stood in the middle of countless shattered eyeballs, and their gazes grew increasingly savage.

No!

No!!

Something had to be wrong. His flesh-and-blood strength clearly hadn’t even reached the Transcendent level, and the two unknown Bio-armaments inside him, which they had been monitoring so closely, were still unused. So why had he displayed such terrifying strength in an instant?!

Although this had only been the first wave of extermination Bio-armaments, it had already completely exceeded their expectations.

“It’s the clothes he’s wearing! And that revolver!”

The leading Flesh and Blood Humanoid suddenly leaned forward, gritting his teeth as he pulled up the unusual properties of the two pieces of equipment visible in the footage.

Analysis through the neural network showed that the Aberration had detected extremely high energy fluctuations both when Lynn fired and when his tuxedo was struck.

“Analyze those two pieces of equipment immediately! I want the most accurate results! Hurry!”

As the Aberration’s neural network rapidly processed the data, it quickly analyzed the mass of information revealed by the battle. Before long, a preliminary report appeared in front of them.

“Target revolver: Contains extremely powerful exorcising and holy-attribute attacks. It has exceptional piercing and suppressive effects against spirits, flesh aberrations, Evil Ghosts, and similar entities. It may be connected to a Lord-level Demon Hunter wandering in hell. Available records indicate that the revolver appears to be one of his sidearms, but no kills have been recorded.”

“Target clothing: No relevant records available. However, extremely powerful Evil Spirit curse energy has been detected within it. Its Power Level cannot be rated and exceeds the Aberration’s monitoring limit. Evasion is recommended.”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s expression changed drastically as he read the Aberration’s analysis report.

Then his face twisted with fury. “Evasion recommended?! Since you detected equipment of this caliber on him, why didn’t you report it earlier?!”

There was a brief pause.

The neural network before him began to pulse, and a voice sounded.

“Because the target equipment’s power exceeds the Aberration’s monitoring limit, the Aberration cannot detect the target equipment’s energy level while it remains inactive.”

The entire chamber fell silent.

So that humanoid creature was carrying two unknown high-level Bio-armaments inside his body, while also carrying two top-tier pieces of equipment that surpassed the Transcendent level. Was that it?

“...”

“F—! Could the guy we ran into this time really be a direct descendant of the Desire Mother Tree?!”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid slammed a fist into the fleshy panel before him, staring savagely at the human-shaped silhouette visible in the thermal imaging.

They knew all too well what this meant.

A creature with such an extravagant loadout, yet the confidence to wander around despite its low level of power, had to have a powerful background. It was either a Chosen One of some Evil God or a direct descendant of some bizarre being. Even though they could also be called children of the Flesh and Blood Dominator, without the word “direct” in the title, they were nothing but expendable Wastes.

Still, they had used the Aberration to hunt similar creatures before. High risk, high reward. After a successful job, they could dismember the target and dump the pieces on the black market, earning enough to live in luxury for a long time.

But this time...

It seemed they had kicked an iron plate.

Who the hell had ever seen a creature that hadn’t even reached the Transcendent level carrying top-tier equipment that even those at the peak of the Transcendent level couldn’t detect? And if that was the case, what the hell was the level of the two unused Bio-armaments inside him?!

They couldn’t possibly be Root-level, could they?!

(╯‵皿′)╯︵┻━┻

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid’s gaze flickered. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Try talking to him first and keep him calm. Bring out the Aberration’s strongest Bio-armament. Now that we’ve fallen out with him, we absolutely cannot let him leave here today! If we can really kill him, everything he’s wearing and all his Bio-armaments will be worth at least several hundred years of work in the cult!”

At his words, the wavering hearts of the surrounding Flesh and Blood Humanoids grew feverish and greedy once more.

This had always been a gamble.

If they really won, that tuxedo of his alone could probably fetch hundreds of thousands on the market. Who could possibly resist that temptation?!

Inside the chamber.

Lynn plopped back into his wheelchair. He raised his head and gazed with a faint smile at the eyeball slowly emerging from the wall once more, casually wiping down the barrel of his gun.

The eyeball stared at him. “Mr. Double Wood, it’s unfortunate that you chose to attack us. Could you offer a reasonable explanation for your actions? We accommodated you on the grounds that we belong to the same divine faith, yet you’ve been so discourteous. Aren’t you afraid we’ll report this to the divine faith’s tribunal and have you hunted down?”

Lynn propped his chin on his hand and smiled.

“Come on, brothers. We’ve already fallen out, so why keep talking all prim and proper?”

“From the moment I came aboard until now, haven’t you been scanning and analyzing my flesh the whole time? You couldn’t see through me when I was outside, so you decided to invite me in. If the analysis showed I was someone you couldn’t afford to provoke, you’d have fawned over me all the way. But if I seemed like someone you could take on, then you’d conveniently invite me in and kill me. What a wonderful idea, isn’t it?”

The logic was simple.

If I had malicious intentions and was powerful, you’d die whether I was inside or outside.

If I hadn’t shown any malice but was still powerful, you’d invite me in and lick my boots, hoping you might get something out of it. Either way, you wouldn’t lose.

But if I wasn’t all that strong, then once the analysis was complete, you’d hold the advantage whether I was inside or outside. You’d decide whether I lived or died.

What a wonderfully chaotic and evil sort of elegance!
