137. Purification, sing, Destru

  Snap.

  The disguised Celia slowly took off the headphones. Everything was ready. It tinuously maintained unication with Zhou Liefeng.

  In just ten mihey would reach the underground and pletely escape the threat of the beast tide.

  In this way, she could free up her hands to kill the driver and take full trol of the train.

  Ohey reached the crowd, the impostors could disperse and expand their forces at will.

  It stood up and turs head towards the door.

  "Oh?" Celia clicked her tongue in surprise. "It seems something ued happened."

  Before she finished speaking, the pstic steel door quickly turned red aed up. Molten iron dripped to the ground like butter, spreading bright, scorg fmes across the floor.

  "Are you the cilor?"

  A calm male voice rang out in the space.

  "This is not a pce you should be," the mimig impostor said sternly. "Leave here aurn to your partment!"

  Snap!

  Li Aozi stepped onto the road ahead, his superior 【Charisma】 granting him deeper trol over Omega Energy.

  【Natural Ignition】

  【Mode One ? Purification of Filth】

  The fmes immediately split into two paths in front of him. The intense heat aal vapor were lifted and then instantly released, bombing the mimig Celia like a bomb.

  Boom——

  The impostor's pupils tracted. As the high-temperature shockwave approached, it immediately realized its mimicked armor couldn't withstand su explosion. Instantly, it abas disguise, liquefied, areated rapidly.

  Metal, maery, aronic devices were shattered by the high-temperature shockwave in an instant. Rapid oxidation caused them to explode again. The impostor's mood plummeted. Just as it reformed after nding, its front was covered in fmes.

  But pared to nearly being killed upoing, the impostor, now mimig Jane Neria, looked at Li Aozi in horror:

  "You—you, a native, how could you know about society's structure?"

  "So it was Jane you devoured."

  Li Aozi nodded.

  "Who exactly are you?"

  Fear rose in the impostor's heart. Without ielr civilization, it would be impossible to know about society. Even in the Abyss, narrative-level civilizations strictly blocked information about society.

  Now, it heard the clear term 'cilor' from the mouth of a native civilization that hadn't eve its home p.

  "I am a cilor of the Replica cil, Yalka ? Fake. Who exactly are you?"

  "I am your dad."

  He didn't bother to answer everything.

  Li Aozi raised his palm, scattering a mix of iron and aluminum dust from his pocket. These metal powders, which couldn't normally burn in the air, were captured by the 【Natural Ignition】 ability. The oxidatioion accelerated violently, bursting into brilliant sparks in the air like a meteor shower, sh down on the impostor.

  "Damn it!"

  Yalka ? Fake quickly retreated. The thermite agent, barely brushing against its arm, immediately burhrough transparent holes.

  Jane Neria's 【Plunderer】 profession provided det agility and a high base 【stitution】, preventing her from being instantly buro death by the fmes.

  The pn was exposed. The Omega Energy this man casually wielded—his power was at least at the extreme threshold level. No, it's not impossible that he has undergone one ref.

  'The Speaker assessed that no indigenous life forms on this p could undergo a sed ref. If he shows stronger abilities, it means he es from the stars.'

  Yalka ? Fake turned and ran towards the back door, switg to a liquid state and quickly seeping through the door cracks. As a cilor-level replica citizen, its shapeshifting ability far surpassed that of ordinary impostors. After dev Celia, it had obtaihe entire yout of the train, including all details, passages, aion ducts, mastering them thhly.

  'Eat dirt, star man. Even if you have narrative-level civilization bag you, the final victory still belongs to us replica society!'

  Yalka ? Fake's mind was exceptionally clever. After mimig a carbon-based life form, it gained weak fire resistance.

  Even if it fled here, it was fident the oppo wouldn't dare to set rge fires.

  'Go ahead a fires here! Do you think you burn down this entire on partment?'

  However, Li Aozi gave her no ce to escape. He took three steps, raised his palm, and the trajectory of the fmes verged like a welding torch, instantly cutting through the back door. His gray eyes lit up with red fme rings, and fag the mimicked Neria, Yalka ? Fake, he directly raised his palm.

  【Natural Ignition】

  The high-temperature ve transmitted heat. The higher the temperature, the more violent the thermal motion of the air molecules. The heated air quickly expanded, infting the entire corridor's air to hundreds of times its volume.

  Thus, an explosion occurred.

  【Mode Two ? se the World】

  Ohe terrifying high-temperature field was geed, it triggered a rea. First, the violent explosive shockwave blew the entire on ste room sky-high. Then, the surrounding walls and iron ets emitted popping sounds. Metal surfaces bulged with bubbles, then burst, f linear metal jets that spttered everywhere in the narrow carriage. Yalka ? Fake's post-disaster excitement froze instantly, transf into horror and fear.

  Its body erforated by linear metal jets moving at 3,000 meters per sed. The high-temperature field then igs body, f a blinding white fme. Before it could scream, the air in the field had been ed by the fmes. Without air resonano sound could be transmitted.

  The high-temperature shockwave geed by the field expanded rapidly outward, then caused a vacuum field due to the air being ed, drawing in a massive amount of gas. The pressure from just a few tons of gas p in pressed Yalka ? Fake's entire body motionless.

  【Your title 'Cataclysm' effect triggered! This attack is a 'Fatal Strike'! (Three times damage, oint attack, high probability of death)】

  【Death Judgement in progress...】

  【Perpetual ? Autocratic——effect activated!】

  【Perpetual ? Hunt Love——effect activated!】

  【Judgement succeeded】

  【After corre, this damage is: 4798 points of true damage (instah)】

  But this was not the most difficult moment.

  Even so, the cilor-level's tough body gra far superior vitality than ordinary impostors. Yalka ? Fake's body, like a ragged doll, ressed to the ground by the atmosphere, the intense fmes melting the floor. Semi-molten steel, with a density far greater than water, dragged it down like an endless s. It opes mouth wide, silently screaming in despair, watg its body melt, evaporate, and burn out in the high heat.

  Until its st drop of fake blood was distilled, the impostor cilor known as Yalka ? Fake was pletely buro ashes.

  【Target ied】

  【Tip: You have killed a high-value target——'Replica cilor'】

  【You have obtaihe title: New Hunter——your attacks will deal 3% additional true damage to 'society' type enemies.】

  【Hunter Achievement Board activated. You increase your title level by tinuously hunting high-value targets.】

  【Current hunting target: Replica Society ? Philoris (lv.270 [Lower Society])】

  Boiling molten iron rolled in the fierce blizzard. Li Aozi gently raised his hand, not wanting to look any further.

  "The revenge has just begun."

  Li Aozi said in a deep voice.

  He adjusted the Omega Energy output. The molten iron quickly separated into a path in front of him. Li Aozi walked through several carriages auro the first-css carriage——Du Zexin had struggled to sit up. The explosion just now and the different ons had left his face pale. He looked at Li Aozi, opened his mouth, and asked:

  "What exactly happened?"

  "Something dirty got orain. Qiu Ran is dead, and those ied and Ms. Celia are also dead."

  Li Aozi didn't reveal the impostor's matter. He lowered his head aly touched the baby crib, and the baby closed its eyes. Through psychic reso veyed a message to his heart:

  'You have done your best, Liozi.'

  "It's Li Aozi." He corrected.

  Before the bewildered Du Zexin could ask more questions, Li Aozi had already left the first-css carriage aered the cockpit. Zhou Liefeng, who was trating on driving, stared ahead.

  "I'm sorry." Li Aozi nodded. "I couldn't save her, I could only avenge her... There might still be reli site. Do you want to ched see the situation?"

  Zhou Liefeng stared ahead, holding the joystick steadily, and said clearly:

  "I don't want to see anything."

  Li Aozi nodded. "My dolences."

  "She died orain, that's for the best." Zhou Liefeng's tone was very calm, his speech slow and steady. "Every brother and sister of the Subway Brotherhood was born orain, she was just going home."

  Going home.

  Li Aozi's gaze darkened.

  "What, did you lose a lover too?" Zhou Liefeng seemed to notice his micro-expression and asked.

  "No, it's not that kind of retionship." Li Aozi admitted.

  "So, a friend?"

  Zhou Liefeng shook his head and asked again.

  Li Aozi answered, "We only knew each other for four days."

  Zhou Liefeng g him. "Family?"

  Li Aozi denied, "No."

  "Then who are you feeling troubled for?" Zhou Liefeng asked in fusion.

  "I don't know, maybe Qiu Ran, maybe something else, but there is always something that make me emotionally stirred for a person who has nothing to do with me."

  Zhou Liefeng looked at him, then said meaningfully:

  "Wele to the outside world. To be ho—I’ve been driving for twenty years, I experiehings like this dozens of times a year. At first, I cursed the heavens, then I became misanthropid finally, the rain of reality washed away the fire of hatred."

  "People 't live solely on hatred. Those who die because of you will ultimately bee part of you. The only thing I do is to carry the wishes of the deceased to the station."

  "Move forward, move forward, by any means necessary. If I don't die, those who made me will always exist."

  Li Aozi was silent for a moment, looking ahead:

  "I only know that someone's good days are over."
