Chapter 882 The First Fight In Synthetic World

"BOOM"

The flock of birds fled from the top of trees as a man and an ape fought head to head.

Unlike earth, the ground was incredibly resilient here. Even the trees in the forest could bear a level 7 attack easily.

So, as Varian and the ape exchanged hundreds of blows in a matter of seconds, only one mile of the forest surrounding them was affected.

It's incredible because, on Earth, the same shockwaves of the battle would be felt from at least a hundred miles.

"Don't be a pussy! Just fight!" Varian roared at the ape as he kicked the ground and reached its shoulder length.

Then, his lighting & water powers turned into a huge humanoid enveloping him. This golden-blue humanoid made up of lightning & water imitated Varian's moves to the T.

So, when Varian punched out, so did his elemental 'avatar'. This punch was further supported by the space layer as well as the telekinetic power.

The Ape felt a stinging pain its mind as it was about to meet Varian's punch. The Ape's single eye turned so red that it seemed it was about to bleed.

The Ape glanced at the two females in the distance and its heart burned with hatred.

Sarah and Sia continued to impose the Ape with heavy restraints using their gravity, time, and light powers.

The strong ape that reached high level 9 was suppressed to a low level 9. It was still far stronger than the suppressed Undead back home.

But nonetheless, this suppression was the reason Varian could fight it on even ground.

"Boom!"

Their fists connected and due to the sheer force, both Varian and the Ape were blown back.

Varian landed on his wobbly feet and wiped the blood dripping down his lips. His insides were a total mess due to the force of the punch.

He's still a distance away from reaching Superhuman Level 9. Just one step, but that one step meant a difference that couldn't be ignored.

Contrary to his injured condition, the Ape was fine. Due to its thick skin, it only felt a sting on its fist.

At first look, it seemed like the Ape would win easily. But as a relatively wise creature, the Ape discovered Varian's anomaly a while ago.

Due to his level 9 Plantae powers, Varian's 'internal injuries' were healed in seconds. Even the ripped skin and torn muscles were fixed in no time.

As if this wasn't enough, the Ape sensed the rise of Varian's aura. He was growing stronger.

It had a strong feeling that if it fought Varian for a few more minutes, this guy would suppress it easily.

'Monster! I encountered scary two-eyed monsters today!' The Ape glanced at the three of them for one last time before beating its chest.

Varian thought the Ape was making a war cry and prepared himself for the fight. But to his utter surprise, the Ape ran away at an insane speed.

Even Sarah and Sia couldn't keep up with it. With faces filled with confusion, they landed beside Varian.

"Just a few more punches and I could've reached level 9. Fuck." Varian cursed the Ape's cowardice.

[Superhuman Level 8: 8/8]

Technically, he should be a level 9. But there seemed to be a small bottleneck at the end. He almost cleared it but the Ape ran away.

"Plenty of beasts in the forest. But if we want to explore it, flying is better. Our senses are severely suppressed here." Sarah said.

Indeed, they could only feel a hundred miles surrounding them at most. The trees, the mountains—everything was somehow suppressing their senses.

Sometimes, their senses were being tricked. For instance, they sensed no creature near a large blue-leaved tree thirty miles away. When they actually reached it, they found a blue snake hidden in the branches.

Compared to this, flying seemed better. There were only a few beasts flying above the forest.

"If we can go higher, we can view the whole world, possibly a civilization." Sia tapped her chin.

"Alright, let's fly after a test flight." Varian raised his hand and twenty miles away, a blue rabbit-like beast with four ears suddenly stiffened.

Then it was thrown into the air and glided above the forest as if it was flying.

Sarah and Sia locked their auras onto the rabbit and observed it closely. Their eyes widened as they noticed hundreds of dangerous auras locking onto the rabbit. Then, they took a step back as countless attacks reached the rabbit.

Even the daylight was overshadowed due to the burst of lights from the attacks. Lightning, ice, some purple poison—there was almost everything. It was a buffet of attacks the rabbit didn't ask for.

A second later, the sky dimmed. The rabbit, of course, was no more. Not even its bones were left.

Varian gave up any illusions of flying and easily figuring out the whole world. He expanded his multiple senses and checked the surroundings. Then, he picked the one with the least number of beasts.

Sarah and Sia had wider senses due to their higher levels. But they followed his lead.

Because this forest was inherently deceptive, their wider senses weren't the best. On the contrary, Varian could use almost eight senses to check the same place. This overlap of senses created a way more accurate mind map.

So, Varian's trio quickly passed through the jungle avoiding the strong beasts. Sometimes, they still came across a few hiding beasts, but as time went on, Varian got better at this.

Soon, they traveled five hundred miles without any battle. The density of the beasts dropped significantly and the three of them continued on the path.

The logic was that if there was an intelligent civilization here, its borders would have the lowest beast density.

In the few hours that followed, Varian fought a few battles, retreated from others, and finally reached a lake.

After they crossed the lake, a dozen figures in black leather armor appeared and the leader of the team spoke into the bracelet.

"Matriarch, we found the last three invaders."

"Haa~" The Matriarch's long sigh sounded from the bracelet before her cold voice followed. "Hunt them down."
