Chapter 101 - Shocking The World
[Alert! Behemoth-class interdimensional creature detected!]
[Ding! Scanning completed!]
=====
<Lv.63 Colossal Mutant Lizard>
<Grade: Behemoth-class>
<Danger rating: High!>
=====
Looking at the sudden notifications, Albion was suddenly surprised.
'Oh? How nice of you to suddenly warn me of things, Goldfinger.' Albion communicated with his thoughts.
[The lower the danger, the lower the rewards required to be handed out. Goldfinger does not want to be blackmailed later.]
Goldfinger answered.
'...You stingy as motherf—Haiz, forget it. I don't know whether I hate you or thank you, dammit.' Albion was quite speechless.
Nevertheless, he quickly paid attention to a few key points, 'Why is this interdimensional creature's level so high? Even the Four Emperors are level 51 at most.'
[According Goldfinger's calculation—]
'Wait, Hold up a minute. I know, it must have something to do with the Second Wave and being a boss-level creature...' Albion spoke.
[...Yes.]
Nevertheless, the more important point was the danger rating was high?
This means that there was a high chance the boss-level creature could kill him—the current him, that is.
[Alert! The Behemoth-class interdimensional creature has locked onto your presence!]
Goldfinger warned.
'Dafuq? What did I do?' Albion was stunned.
Why did he suddenly attract aggro out of nowhere?
[Higher grade interdimensional creatures of the virtual dimensions can detect lifeforms with higher evolution value. Even though Host's cultivation has been sealed, Host still shines brightly like a sun to the Behemoth-class interdimensional creature.]
Goldfinger explained.
'Dammit, even interdimensional creatures can be picky with their food now? Doesn't that mean all Behemoth-class view me as a snacc if they see me?' Albion frowned.
As the saying went, if a tiger doesn't show its fangs, others will think it's a sick cat.
'Is there a quest?' Albion suddenly asked.
Ding!
<Notification: Quest Update>
<Objective: Slay the Behemoth>
<Reward: 30 units of Divine Energy>
'30 units of Divine Energy? Wow, since when were you so generous, Goldfinger?' Albion's eyes widened with surprise.
Even the main Bloodmoon Gang quest's reward was not this high.
[30 units is the lowest amount Goldfinger could set.]
"..."
Albion's surprise quickly faded with speechlessness. What was he even expecting?
The Colossal Mutant Lizard quickly tossed away the flying dragon in its clutch before gazing deeply at Albion from the sky.
The dragon quickly fled after regaining its freedom while Xiao Hua tugged Albion's sleeve, "Why do I get a feeling that it is looking at us?"
"Because it is," Albion calmly answered. Be to exact, it was looking at him.
Not long after, the flying Behemoth flapped its enormous wings and shot down towards the surface, kicking a strong wind that flushed numerous interdimensional creatures out of its path.
The whole city was in a state of uproar.
In the wake of such a giant monster descending upon them, even the bravest of men would tremble in fear—let alone the numerous hot-blooded youths on the streets and rooftops.
…
At the same time, the online forums were bombarded continuously with comments from around the world.
[FirstInnovator52: Oh my god, the Hunter Association's main headquarters just released a piece of shocking news! The Second Wave's Dimensional Rifts are each suspected of spawning at least one monster above level 60!]
[IHateRunning043: What! Even the Four Emperors have not reached that level yet! Does that mean they are stronger than the Four Emperor?!]
[GrimtheReaper'sFollower09: Impossible. The Four Emperors have been hunting monsters far above their levels since the beginning of the outbreak. They are not like other Hunters.]
[SteadyAsMountTai301: In any case, a Dimensional Rift appeared in my city. But there aren't any high-level Hunters here, so I am F. U. C. K. E. D.]
[ICan'tRun427: Upstairs, you don't happen to be from Draco County's Silvercove city too, are you?]
[SteadyAsMountTai301: Huh? Yeah, I am. How did you know that?]
[ICan'tRun427: I am also from Silvercove city…]
[CuriousReader49: Dafuq? What are you guys doing online instead of running for your lives?]
[SteadyAsMountTai301: Run? There's nowhere to run. I haven't exercised since graduating high school, chief.]
[ICan'tRun427: My name. Enough said.]
[GreatSageEqualHeaven02: Kekeke, F for respect.]
[…F.]
[… +102.]
…
Back on the Royal Pearl Hotel's rooftop, the few remaining youths rushed past Albion and Xiao Hua and fled as quickly as they could.
"Big Brother Albion, how strong are you really? Can you beat it? Now is the time to get serious if you can, right?" Xiao Hua glanced up nervously without many expectations.
She knew that Silvercove city was done for, but Albion's calmness gave her a vague sense of hope and security.
"Un." Albion nodded.
He suddenly picked up the loli and tossed her some distance away from him, causing Xiao Hua to cry as she was being thrown.
<Unseen Hand>
Her body suddenly lost weight due to an invisible force before she landed softly on her bottoms with a yelp, "Ow!"
"Stay over there for a moment. This brother is about to go super!" Albion instructed before raising his head at the incoming Behemoth with narrowed eyes.
'Damn lizard, if I don't show my might, you will think I am someone easy to bully,' Albion cracked his stiff neck in preparation.
Shortly after, he snapped his index finger and uttered, "Cultivation seal, release!"
Rumble!
Albion's body was suffused with blue light before it surged towards the heavens with growing momentum.
All the air in the surrounding area was seemingly sucked dry as they circulated around Albion's body and kicked up a storm.
Dangerous sparks of electricity discharged from his body, and his dyed black hair quickly grew long and white while the tips remained black.
<You have entered the True Immortal state>
<Accumulated Spiritual Energy detected>
<Spiritual Energy: 100000/100000>
[Ding! Due to the abrupt unsealing of the host's cultivation seal, the dormant 10th Tribulation Lightning has been awakened.]
<You have been infused with 10th Tribulation Lightning>
<All elemental abilities have been greatly augmented>
Albion immediately raised an eyebrow in surprise but had no time to ponder further.
After his full cultivation was unleashed, the Behemoth-class Colossal Mutant Lizard immediately froze in the sky for a moment before it attempted to flee.
"You want to run after picking a fight with me?" Albion snorted.
Boom!
The rooftop floor immediately cracked underneath his feet as he shot into the sky like a flash of blue light, closing the distance in an instance.
His fist clenched and wrapped in black Ashura Flames—the only elemental ability he could control at will before it was further imbued with 10th Tribulation Lightning.
"Eat this, Super Serious Punch!" Albion punched the black Behemoth's head with all his might.
<Earth-Shattering Fist!>
Brrr!
The entire head disappeared along with half of its upper body in a black flash of lightning flames that continued to break through the skies, immediately parting the dark clouds before shooting into the depths of outer space!
It was unknown how far the beam of black lightning flames traveled!
The world shook from a remnant gust of strong winds that left the night skies of Silvercove clearer than ever before, bringing out the brilliance of the twinkling stars.
Silvercove was shocked, Xiao Hua was shocked, and Even Albion himself was shocked without exceptions!
As he landed back on the rooftop with countless notifications ringing in his head, Albion muttered with disbelief, "I knew I was strong.... but not THIS strong…"
