Subjugation

  Du Zexin calmly switched to the sedary monitor. Fortunately, he had already taken trol of Abyss Humanitarian's cameras, giving him time to stall.

  "If that guy really is a fellow Develynite, he should first clear out the other Law III agents to create an opportunity for discussion."

  Sure enough, he wasn't attacked for a while, and the radar showed Li Aozi's dire deviating from his position.

  But that wasn't enough to fully trust the other’s identity.

  —Imagine you're on a pany team-building trip in the wilderness, and a wild man suddenly jumps out and says, "Hey, I'm your cousin."

  He didn't attack you but instead killed all your colleagues. What would you think?

  'Even if he's an ally, I 't let my guard down.'

  Du Zexin raised his Magnum energy gun and started pnning.

  Li Aozi didn't seem to want to kill him, but this wasn't the time to talk.

  The bme could only be on them not having a 【Medium】 or 【Shaman】 to secretly unicate and build trust.

  Moreover, fag a quasi-Beta tier Omega Energy user for the first time, Du Zexin thought a little sparring wouldn’t hurt.

  If he could subdue Li Aozi and take trol, it would be ideal.

  Beep beep beep—

  The sedary monitor just started up when the radar issued a lo warning.

  "He's ing."

  Through the Abyss Humanitarian camera feed, Li Aozi flew in like he was gliding along the ground, bde in hand, swiftly approag.

  "With biosyic muscle charging, my strength reach 7.8 tons. In close bat, I actually have the advantage!"

  Ding—

  The crisp sound of a bde being drawn spshed like water on a mirror. Li Aozi sshed horizontally, aiming at Du Zexin's torso.

  Even with the back of the bde, enhanced by gravity with multiplied speed and enveloped in a fierd sinister aura, the momentum was overwhelming!

  Crackle—

  Du Zexin raised his left hand, palm splitting open to reveal a firing port, emittiric light that pierced through the air. The biosyic muscle charged up, swelling instantly, pushing straight toward Li Aozi's bde.

  Bang g!

  The solid impact sounded like a bomb, the shockwave sweeping the ground, billowing Li Aozi's coat and slightly halting Du Zexin's steps.

  In a blink, their figures collided again. As they crossed paths, Du Zexin raised his hand, his Magnum guending a bayo, g with Li Aozi's bde, sparks flying.

  The bde danced, moving like a butterfly through flowers, with Li Aozi's tinuous sshes being calmly parried by Du Zexin. Suddenly, Li Aozi kicked Du Zexin's chest, using gravity to forcefully push him back.

  The bde, glowing with brilliant white light, sshed down from above. Fag this thunderous strike, the AI reacted faster than Du Zexin, raising a shield to block.

  Swish—

  However, the puter made an error.

  The bde, against the edge, lightly brushed the shield, seemingly "smearing" across it with ease.

  —It was a feint.

  The bde slipped past the shield, uedly slig a fresh cut along the armor's seam under Du Zexin's ribs.

  Ssh—g—

  Du Zexin's heart tightehe bde almost leaving an indelible mark on his ribs.

  "Even for a quasi-Beta tier—this swordsmanship is ridiculous!"

  Li Aozi appeared nont, but his attacks were skilled aless, like a storm. Du Zexin soon found his AI assistant uo keep up with the attack frequency.

  "Keep your eyes on me."

  With gravitational pressure, Li Aozi swung his bde like a war hammer, smashing it to the ground. Although it missed, he followed up by kig debris to disrupt Du Zexin's vision, charging forward with his bde while feigning a shoulder strike, activating 【Iterative Movement】 to move to his blind spot, sshing diagonally.

  g—

  Du Zexin's shoulder armor was knocked off, revealing the eleic muscle underh. As a Beta tier 【Meic】, Du Zexin's AI-assisted reas were swift, immediately adjusting his stand activating his armor's bat system.

  [Peak Hour Military]

  Micro-thrusters across his body activated, his figure accelerating and leaving afterimages.

  As a 【Meic】, military-grade plugins provided far more advantages aer effects than those of a 【Warrior】.

  The prolonged fight intrigued Du Zexin, feeling that Li Aozi wasn't an ordinary superhuman.

  With exquisite swordsmanship, beast-like bat instincts, and that gravitational Omega Energy, without his anti-gravity system in the [Blessed Wish Beta] armor, he would have been crushed instantly.

  Moreover, he ted white light, explosions, force fields, accelerated movement—one person wielding so many Omega Energies was unheard of.

  "However, mere acceleration Omega Energy, modern teology easily repce it!"

  Du Zexin raised his Magnum energy gun, hearing Li Aozi's low voiearby:

  "—Really?"

  Li Aozi was calm and posed.

  【Iterative Movement】 could reach speeds up to ohird the speed of light, far surpassing the four to five times the speed of sound possible with 【Meic】's rocket boosters and special plugins.

  Du Zexin's pupils shrank, hurriedly dug. The bde grazed his helmet.

  [Peak Hou—

  Bang!

  Li Aozi feigned a strike, trig Du Zexin into raising his arm to block, leaving his ter exposed.

  The bde turned, striking Du Zexin's belt buckle precisely, causing a burst of smoke.

  "I know you're in a hurry, but listen to me, don't rush."

  Li Aozi grinned, gravity intensifying.

  With the anti-gravity device destroyed, the terrifying aspect of gravity became evident. Despite his tier advantage, Li Aozi's attributes were too high, and the thirteenfold gravity made it impossible for Du Zexin to raise his arms.

  Unlike 【Biochemists】, 【Meics】 didn't have robust physiques. The heavy metal armor under high gravity instantly crushed Du Zexin with its ow.

  The life-support system pumped pressure into his legs to keep his blood cirg, but it was only enough to keep him alive.

  [Warning! Vital signs weakening! Vital signs weakening!]

  With ruptured blood vessels flooding his lungs, Du Zexin's pupils tracted, blood spttering his helmet's dispy.

  The mae wasn't damaged, but the 【Meiside couldn't withstand the pressure and lost sciousness.

  "Whoever led these 【Meics】 astray—these guys think they're warriors but are frail arying to fight in close bat."

  Li Aozi couldn't uand.

  Why did Du Zexin, a 【Mei armor, at least two meters tall, try to pete in reflexes with him, a light-armored 【Mutant】?

  Li Aozi guessed Unlucky figured that his armor would win in close bat if he touched Li Aozi.

  Unlucky truly was unlucky—gravity Omega Energy ignored armor.

  【Target unscious】

  With the anti-gravity system broken, who had the shorter health bar between Li Aozi and Unlucky was clear.

  Li Aozi scratched his . Holy, Unlucky was just that—unlucky to face his Omega Energy.

  If he had another Omega-tier Omega Energy, he might not have lost so quickly.

  "But it's fine, a B-tier task isn't too hard. Now, just an interrogation to plete it all."

  Li Aozi symbolically disarmed Unlucky. They needed a good chat ter, and this fight helped assert dominance for the discussion.

  He then took out two packs of pressed biscuits, using gravity to pull over the bound Anna.

  Faced with the fallen Du Zexin and the [Blessed Wish] armor, Anna's eyes went bnk.

  The once-imposing Law III agents, the mighty and mysterious Frost-Pted agenow y down, unscious.

  A Beta tier powerhouse—how could he be this weak?

  As an ordinary person, Anna didn't uand superhuman disparities but knew Beta tier's intimidating power.

  Li Aozi, mung on biscuits to restore Omega Energy, watched Anna's distraught expression with amusement.

  "Long time no see, Dr. Anna." Li Aozi said leisurely, "Did you miss me? Too bad I didn't die out there or by your Camity Armament."

  "Li Aozi..."

  Anna regained posure, quickly saying:

  "This is all a misuanding. You suddenly came to Abyss Humanitarian and activated the Camity Armament's automatic defense system—"

  Qiu Ran and Jian slowly emerged from cover. Seeing Anna being interrogated, they quied their pace.

  "Really? And Nomi's death, was that also a misuanding?"

  Li Aozi squatted down, uning her, aly lifting her hand, asking softly.

  Anna's eyes shifted momentarily, fused, she said:

  "Nomi? I don't know who that is. This is truly a misuanding—ah ah ah ah ah!"

  g!

  Before Anna could finish, Li Aozi suddenly broke one of her fingers. The intense pain made Anna scream:

  "Stop! Stop—my finger, my hand—"

  "I'm a hypocrite, Dr. Anna. Only I lie to you; you 't lie to me."

  Li Aozi stepped on Anna's hand, preventing her from esg. Then he tinued in a light tone:

  "Why won't you admit it? A kill is a kill. In my past life, I even blew up a p."

  "I—"

  A fsh of red and bck appeared in Anna's eyes, and her resentful look vanished in an instant. She turned her head, not daring to meet Li Aozi's gaze.

  "Enough, Li Aozi. Let me talk to her."

  "Are you sure?"

  "I have dohings for her before..."

  Anna tried to say something, but Qiu Ran stepped forward, squatting down and supp her, saying in a deep voice:

  "Are you okay, Dr. Anna?"

  "In this state, how could I be okay..."

  Anna couldn't bear the pain, Li Aozi tinuously ground her hand with his boot, crushing her bones inch by inch, causing excruciating pain and vulsions.

  "Really?" Qiu Ran's eyes glowed red-bck. "You instructed me to help Li Aozi. Do you remember who I am?"

  "You..." Tears welled up in Anna's eyes. She g Qiu Ran, her vision blurred by pain and tears, making it impossible for her to fabricate a lie:

  "I don't know, there are so many Camity Armament ied, I fot—"

  Smack!

  Qiu Ran punched Anna hard in the face, her burning fist scorg the remaining unscathed half of Anna's face.
