Chapter 744: Chapter 737: The Whole Nest

「More than ten minutes later.」

Outside the Star Condensing Ore Vein, a field of brilliant gold stretched out, a magnificent sight to behold.

A figure resembling Blood Jade stood amidst this field of brilliant gold, projecting an uncanny sense of menace.

Not a single member of the Duomoge Organization left to guard the Star Condensing Ore Vein had escaped.

The candidates relegated to the sidelines all had grim expressions, their eyes fixed on the Blood Jade-like figure.

At that moment, Hans lay twisted on the ground at Zhou Yuanjue’s feet, his Life Protection Mechanism triggered. His Laser Eyes stared up at Zhou Yuanjue, who stood over him.

"You think this is a victory?"

"Chaotic Paradise isn’t a place one person can conquer. An individual’s power is ultimately limited."

"You are strong, but you are only one person. You will get tired, you will get injured..."

"Soon, you will understand..."

Hans said slowly.

"Is that so? I’ll be waiting right here. Bring your entire organization."

Zhou Yuanjue said calmly.

Hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s words, Hans fell silent for a moment and said no more.

VMM!!

The next moment, a pillar of white light descended from the sky, landing on his body. Then, he was drawn up into the pillar of light, which shot off rapidly in the direction of the Ziying Safety Zone.

’A buyback, huh?’

Seeing this, Zhou Yuanjue was momentarily stunned before he understood.

The Life Protection Mechanism lasted for seven days, but with enough Value Points, one could spend them to "revive" instantly. However, the cost increased geometrically with each subsequent revival.

’It seems he’s eager for a rematch.’

A slight smile touched the corners of Zhou Yuanjue’s mouth.

With a light step, he quickly ascended to the summit. The Blood Jade state receded, and he returned to his normal appearance. He sat atop the mountain, quietly awaiting his enemies’ arrival.

...

...

「Ziying Safety Zone, Rebirth Square.」

VMM! VMM!

Pillars of white light descended from the sky every so often. These were candidates who had "died" somewhere in the world. After their seven-day protection period ended, they could spend a certain amount of Value Points to return directly to the Rebirth Square in the safety zone.

This mechanism also prevented the phenomenon of individuals being surrounded by enemies in the wild and maliciously "corpse-camped."

"Hey, what a coincidence. You just revived too?"

"Yeah, you too? How’d you die?"

"Don’t even ask. I got ganged up on by some rivals, five on one. They were going to torture me, but I was smart enough to knock myself into the protection mechanism with a single punch. What about you? How’d you die?"

"I was out in the wild testing a new move and accidentally blew myself up..."

"You’re something else..."

"Right back at you..."

Among the candidates reviving one after another, some seemed to know each other and began to commiserate.

The next moment, BOOM!!

A pillar of white light slammed down in the Rebirth Square. It seemed far brighter and more powerful than those of the previous candidates, instantly drawing the eyes of everyone in the square.

’Looks like a powerhouse from the Ziying Safety Zone revived. Who is it?’

The light faded, revealing a tall, humanoid figure.

It had a burly body forged from black steel, blood-red eyes filled with danger and fury, and multiple Energy Cores that blazed with blinding light, radiating a terrifying pressure.

’This person... looks so familiar...’

The candidates in the Rebirth Square were briefly stunned.

"Isn’t... isn’t that Hans, the Third Leader of the Duomoge Organization?"

"It is. A Mechanical Creature of the Lanhai Civilization; the features match. But why is he at the Rebirth Square? They’re the strongest faction in the safety zone. Who could have ’killed’ him?"

"It seems like something big is happening in the Ziying Safety Zone."

"..."

Some of the surrounding candidates recognized Hans. He was, after all, a well-known figure in the Ziying Safety Zone. His appearance immediately set off a wave of whispers and discussion.

Hans’s expression was terrifyingly grim. He ignored the discussions swirling around him and strode away, his heavy body quickly departing the Rebirth Square. He connected through his Life True Talisman and immediately sent a message to the other two leaders.

At the same time, news that the Third Leader of the Duomoge Organization had appeared in the Rebirth Square—apparently defeated and killed—spread like wildfire throughout the safety zone. Soon, everyone knew.

As the strongest organization in the Ziying Safety Zone, countless eyes were watching their every move.

And soon, even more shocking news arrived.

Within the Ziying Safety Zone, the three leaders of the Duomoge Organization gathered. All members currently in the zone were summoned, forming a force of over seventy people that marched in a great procession toward the Star Condensing Ore Vein.

Now, everyone knew for certain that a major event was unfolding in the Ziying Safety Zone.

As news trickled back from the direction of the Star Condensing Ore Vein, everyone finally learned what had happened to provoke such a massive response from the Duomoge Organization.

Some new candidate had appeared out of nowhere at the Star Condensing Ore Vein and acted decisively, killing the Third Leader, Hans, and dozens of Duomoge candidates in one fell swoop. Furthermore, he had declared that he would face the entire Duomoge Organization alone.

Upon hearing this news, everyone couldn’t help but draw a sharp, cold breath.

Where did this newcomer come from? How could he be so ridiculously bold?

Logically, shouldn’t a newcomer of this caliber have been randomly assigned to a higher-level safety zone? Why did he appear here?

Just how powerful was he? Could he be a genius from some prominent family? Could he really fight an entire organization by himself?

Everyone’s curiosity was ignited. It had been a long, long time since anything this sensational had happened in the Ziying Safety Zone.

In an instant, countless candidates who received the news began rushing toward the Star Condensing Ore Vein.

It wasn’t just out of a desire to witness the battle, nor was it mere curiosity.

As the strongest organization in the Ziying Safety Zone, the outcome of Duomoge’s battle would directly impact the interests of every single person in the zone.

Before long, numerous figures had appeared all around the Star Condensing Ore Vein.

"So many people... I miscalculated. Even if there are scraps to be had, it won’t be easy to pick them up now," Hagrid muttered.

"I heard that Duomoge’s three leaders and their remaining seventy-plus members have all come out in full force. I don’t know if he can handle it this time," Lan Yanmeng said gravely.

"He has shown great strength, but I remain pessimistic," Lan Xueyan said, shaking her head. "An individual’s power is limited. And based on the strength he’s displayed, while he is powerful, it’s not to the point of an overwhelming power disparity. A sufficient number of enemies can easily make up for that gap, and even far surpass him."
