When Lord Bizarro was talking with Vinny, the first wave of conflict broke out in Sin Capital. Hundreds of low-level mecha lifeforms emerged out of nowhere in front of Philip and Francis, their eyes glowing with a strange red light. Their energy surged as the light appeared. They were the natives of Sin Capital, mecha lifeforms, so Sin Capital posed no resistance to them. However, other mechas would not work inside, which was why Lyher was at such a disadvantage in Sin Capital. Philip looked at the mechas in front of him and frowned. Jonas and the others told Philip that there were tens of thousands of natives in Sin Capital, but only a small portion of them appeared at this moment. Although these natives were of low levels, they were also extremely difficult to deal with. They would delay Philip and his party for half an hour. This duration was enough for other practitioners in the city to summon more mecha lifeforms. Thinking of this, Philip's face darkened, and a c
Francis froze and nodded. He said, “I understand.” Then, the two set off into the depths of Sin Capital. Meanwhile, in the depths of Sin Capital, the other nine-star mecha lifeforms could not help their mouths from twitching when they saw this scene. “What’s up with this guy? These people could've been his most loyal subordinates in the future. They could've been a great help to him!” “Why kill them so recklessly?” “Isn't he afraid that he’ll end up with an empty city?” Another person shook his head and said helplessly, “He’s probably worried that we’ll gather more mecha lifeforms. By then, it may really become an empty city. But if he kills them now, he’ll only sacrifice hundreds of mecha lifeforms.” The man sighed again and said gloomily, “We seem to have misjudged this new mayor.” The people around fell silent, indirectly acknowledging the man’s words. Based on their way of thinking, most people would not destroy the things that could help them in the future, as it
As Philip entered the inner city, he felt as if Sin Capital had changed. The city in front of him was full of advanced technology with aircraft and various other flying devices in the sky as well as translucent tracks. It looked like a normal city! Other than that, four dark buildings in the four corners of the city looked like black pillars, and Philip could not help but wonder. “What are those black pillars?” Philip asked curiously. Francis smiled and said, “Those are photon cannons.” “Photon cannons?” Philip was startled, more confused. Without waiting for Philip to ask, Francis explained, “Based on our understanding of the outside world, the strongest mecha or cannon can't cause too much damage to a practitioner above the pseudo holy tier, but these photon cannons are different. They need to be charged for at least one month after one usage. “Over time, the attack power of the photon cannons became different. If we use the current time ratio, the photon cannons can
“Although the core area is small in size, it should be the most heavily impacted when the fight breaks out. They should be waiting for us here, so you should get ready to battle, Mayor.” Philip looked thoughtful, and he soon became serious. “Ask someone to go to the outer city to find all the outsiders and let them all enter the inner city. Hurry at full speed. I want to see them here within ten minutes!” Francis looked at Philip in puzzlement and said, “Mayor, aren’t you putting yourself in danger? Those outsiders should be your enemies too. If you do that, the pressure on us will be even greater.” Obviously, Francis did not know that Philip had already subdued them. Philip could not be bothered to explain it to Francis and simply said, “Just get someone to do it, and don’t worry about the rest.” Francis could only nod without a word. After ordering the other four to search for those outsiders in the outer city, Francis looked at Philip again. “Mayor, I think I should te
The previous patriarch of the Beelzebub royal family was seriously injured and died after the conflict with the Supreme One. He left a will. In the will, the first point was about the ancient ruin. [The Beelzebub royal family can't touch the ancient ruin of the Supreme One! [Ordinary people shouldn’t think of the treasures in the ancient ruin.” [If the Beelzebub royal family wants to send our people into the ancient ruin in the future, they can only select descendants of the lowest levels. No talents are allowed to die inside!] Based on the previous patriarch’s will, the current patriarch clearly sensed his fear of the so-called Supreme One. Moreover, although the will did not say how strong the things in the ancient ruin were, just by reading the previous patriarch’s words, it was clear that the things inside were definitely not that simple. The so-called Supreme One left behind something for her child, so how could it be that simple? The current patriarch was ambiti
In this world, the nine royal families reigned above many countries, alliances, and families. Since they claimed to be the royal families, no one dared to act recklessly on these territories, and their status was respected. If they took over Sin Capital, did that mean that they would lord over the royal families in the future?! No one would refuse such an honor, so they expressed their position and vowed to do their best in this battle. Only Regus, the third prince of the Beelzebub royal family, remained silent with a wry smile on his face. He had no choice. The Beelzebub royal family was also one of the nine royal families! After Philip led everyone into the core area, they saw all the advanced technologies in front of them, including the surveillance cameras on every street of Sin Capital. There was also a huge space with a huge pillar that contained flowing silver liquid standing right in the middle. On the other side of the pillar, thousands of mecha lifeforms stood t
Boom! The ones in the lead were Jonas and Cesar. The two had been inseparable since they entered the secret realm, and their abilities complemented each other. Together, they could totally take on a practitioner at the peak of nine stars. One mecha lifeform at the peak of nine stars was no big deal for them at all. On the other side, Regus and David, the only member of the Spearhead Guild, also took on a mecha lifeform at the peak of nine stars. Licht and Cora teamed up against another mecha lifeform. As Cora was strong enough, the two even gained the upper hand. The other mecha lifeforms paid more attention to them, and another person joined in the fight. The remaining three mecha lifeforms were stopped by other talents, ranging from three to as many as seven in a group. They were trying their best to stop the mecha lifeforms at the peak of nine stars. The remaining people guarded against the low-level mecha lifeforms, but they simply formed a powerful energy barrier
However, the mecha beasts were not that dumb either. As mecha beasts, their loyalty far exceeded that of those mecha lifeforms. That was because Philip’s mother’s blood flowed in their bodies. Thus, they were more sensitive to Philip’s presence. This was also something that Philip’s mother left him. If the mecha lifeforms did not form their own ideas but submitted to Philip willingly, this plan would have been useless. However, once they rebelled, the mecha beasts would be waiting for them. With the mecha beasts in place, Philip would definitely reach the pivot area! Philip smiled. “So, I can safely enter this pivot area now. I’ll need your help to stop these guys,” Philip said to the four mecha beasts. The four beasts nodded without hesitation and rushed to the mecha lifeforms that were stopped by the other talents. They fought one-on-one, not afraid of the mecha lifeforms at all. The outcome of this battle was completely predictable. Philip felt an anti-clim
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
