Chapter 290: Root Demon

Not to mention that Wu Nuo was also using top-tier goods, left behind by that past Guyue Sect Master who had likewise been honored as the Strongest, not some unstable product.

This demon being able to pull out one to contend against Wu Nuo already counted as its deep scheming, having accumulated it for who knows how long.

A second one?

Where did it pull that out from?

"If you truly were also at the third Energy Level, or if you were using an avatar descent, I probably wouldn't be your match at all."

"Unfortunately, Master Wu Nuo, your judgment is mistaken."

A bizarre smile spread across its face: "What gave you the illusion that... I am not the main body?"

"...!!!"

In that instant.

Whether it was Wu Nuo, or Qin Shengshi.

Or those sorcerers and new-style superhumans from other factions who were watching this battle yet strangely doing nothing at all.

The entire superhuman world of Wind Capital seemed to sense that unbelievable truth from its tone.

—Not third Energy Level?

—And it's a main body descent?

Then, what it meant was...

The next moment, it spread its arms covered in sharp claws.

In the sky, those tiny specks of dust and raindrops nearly invisible to the eye converged into streams in an instant, condensing in its pitch-black palm into a deep green memory device.

It brought the memory device to its mouth and pressed down the switch on its top.

Hiss—

"Acid."

That hair-raising electronic voice echoed through the night sky once more.

Following that, it reached down and pressed a deep blue memory device that had already been inserted into the buckle of its waist belt.

"Rain."

It inserted the deep green memory device in its hand into the groove on the other side of the belt.

"Override."

Two terrifying forces, completely different yet sharing the same origin, produced a violent chemical reaction within the belt.

"Acid Rain!"

The demon gripped the metal crank on the side of the belt, and accompanied by the stiff sound of gears grinding together, began to slowly turn it.

Click, click, click.

Blue and green curse power, representing water and acid, spread across its entire body like two interwoven venomous snakes, the two forces intertwining and penetrating each other as if undergoing some qualitative transformation, turning into a terrifying oppressive presence several times stronger than before!

The world's intense suppression was directly applied to its body, the curse power light and shadow on its body's surface flickering like overlapping afterimages, yet adding a strange quality to it.

This demon spread its arms wide, raising its head to the sky and letting out an ear-splitting roar, as if proclaiming the arrival of some dreadful catastrophe.

"Pollution!"

—True name liberation!

At this moment, this ancient demon finally revealed its hidden true name to the world.

...........

At Sixth Division Headquarters, Qin Shengshi revealed a shocked expression.

"Pollution Demon?!"

The so-called pollution refers to the phenomenon where harmful substances for humans or other organisms mix into the natural environment, exceeding the environment's carrying capacity, thereby altering the environment's normal state.

To use such a broad phenomenon... or rather, concept, as a true name?

In past records, even third Energy Level Great Demons were not qualified for such a thing.

Then there was only one possibility.

This thing's true form had once been an existence above the Great Demons.

The legendary... Root Demon.

"...!!"

In that instant, countless clues finally connected in her mind.

P.

Pollution.

So that's it!

Why the so-called "P" series incidents could ignore the curse power compatibility of ordinary people and animals, forcibly raising their levels.

Why this demon would choose to expend so much power and resources to create so many new-style superhumans and Harmful Beasts.

It wasn't a means.

That truly was the purpose of this cunning, scheming demon.

It was polluting, practicing its own true name itself, thereby gathering power anew in the process.

And what it ultimately truly intended to pollute, could it be...

"!!"

Qin Shengshi suddenly felt an extreme sense of hair-raising dread.

This was why tonight, all the other factions in Wind Capital were so silent, as if they didn't exist.

Because although the current situation ran counter to the will of the Wind Capital Sixth Division, it was exactly what those old fossils with little time left were all happy to see.

Once the other party's ritual was complete, the upper limit of superhumans in this city of Wind Capital, as well as the boundary between common sense and uncommon sense...

Would be broken through.

..............

Wu Nuo, who was continuously falling due to his spell's circuit breaker, looked up at this scene, his expression dark.

In an instant, combined with the conversation before the battle, he too figured out most of the key suspicious points.

So...

This was a Root Demon that had abandoned its past realm, paid a tremendous price, slashed itself once, and forcibly squeezed its main body into Wind Capital.

No wonder it could possess two Transcendent Means and perfectly match its origin.

At this moment, it had finally revealed the strongest state it could manifest in the present world.

It had probably already reached the mid-stage of the third Energy Level, and its own spell had likely been unlocked as well.

Even if this couldn possibly last, definitely a fleeting bloom paid for at enormous cost, it was still terrifying to the extreme.

—However...

This is what makes it interesting, isn't it?

He suddenly revealed a wild, unbridled smile.

"You're live-streaming, right? Then those turtles hiding their heads and our own people are all watching."

He looked at that demon above emitting endless malice, feeling that terrifying, strange pollution power, and reached up to wipe the blood from his face.

"I've got to keep showing off a little more!!"

This was the first time in his life that Wu Nuo faced a battle worth giving everything for.

This unprecedented surge of exhilaration swelled in his chest. He felt that his spirit and state had reached the peak of his life, able to unleash 120% of his potential.

At this point, he could do it.

In the gravity-less midair, he suddenly stepped on a spatial fluctuation to stabilize himself, then leaped high, once again on the same plane as the Pollution Demon, facing it from a distance.

The circuit break was over. He had already used the fastest speed to calm the boiling spells and curse power within his body.

Wu Nuo raised both hands, interlocking his ten fingers, forming the Yama Demon Heavenly Palm Seal once again, while spatial fluctuations were already boiling around him.

He was going to use Domain Expansion again!

The next instant.

Under the stunned gazes of the superhumans.

Under the bewildered eyes of the citizens.

In the center of the live-stream feed, slightly distorted by the torrential rain, a somewhat dim, translucent spherical domain suddenly appeared once again.

—The second unfolding of the Infinite Wind domain!

But the next moment.

Countless pupils abruptly shrank, a flash of shock crossing their faces.

Because merely a few seconds later.

At the very center of the frame, the domain's barrier shattered once again with a crackling sound.

And that figure with pink hair and black tattoos on his body abruptly split in two, turning into two small dots falling downward.

Cut in half at the waist.
