“The same?” With a look of disgust, Garen quickened up his absorption of the Soul Ring.

The powerful devouring characteristic of the Hellfrost Peacock Queen brought an excellent devouring effect to his Soul Energy. Although his Soul Energy qualities were still not the Demon King leveled extremes like Black Sethe, it was still nevertheless a skillful devouring ability. Of course, there was also the basic nourishing ability.

The true opportunity to incarnate such true capabilities was this moment so that he could absorb others’ Soul Energy exceptionally smoothly.

The black eyeball on the man’s chest soon disappeared. The entire process lasted less than thirty seconds.

In the distance, dense footsteps could be heard. Crowds were swarming over from other places. Clearly, the sound of astir over here had attracted the attention of the other soldiers at the base.

Bang.

Garen released the dead body, the man had already stopped breathing. As a parasitic body of the Void Creature, his soul had long been devoured by the Void Creature and all that remained was just a shell. When the Void Creature was devoured as a representative soul, its entire body naturally dies and becomes a dead body.

Garen stood still and looked below at the changes to his Attributes Pane as he felt his body change as he became stronger and stronger. His heart felt unusually carefree.

All the while, he had always been concerned. It was odd that the Void Creature did not come to him for trouble in such a long time, but now, he could finally stop worrying.

After the Soul Ring finished absorbing the Void Creature, it started glowing an abnormally dark red shade when it was not even done digesting it. The second Soul Ring was experiencing an overflow situation whereas the fifth Soul Ring was basically condensed all of a sudden and a vast amount of Soul Energy was surging toward the structure of the third Soul Ring.

His Soul Limit suddenly broke through 100, reaching an unprecedented height.

His average physique was even at least a little above the minimum average.

‘Kong Xiaofei — Strength 15, agility 15, physique 17, intelligence 13. Potential 0%. Soul Limit 90.’

Garen immersed himself in his skyrocketing powers.

“Return and get the communication device, then straight away search for Slayer!” Garen decided on his plan. There was no point in staying in this world anymore. He had already understood the workings of the Lighthouse, he did not need Nine-Tailed Fox and the others anymore. Hell, he might even know the workings of the Lighthouse more than Nine-Tailed Fox and the others. He could even use his own Energy Machine Imprint.

The members of the Lighthouse did not bother about the damage they had caused to the universe of the worlds. Even if it was some sinful convicts, as long as they do not involve or persecute other transmigrators, the Lighthouse would not confine over the case. In other words, they view residents of other worlds as something like an NPC. They themselves were high above and not even considered as a race.

Such remarks could be seen in the forum, but there were also some people who strongly disagreed, though it was just a small number of them. The highest institution of the Lighthouse was the Dimensional Watchers, the organization that managed the entire universe, collecting various regular laws. Every once in a while, they would announce the latest news about prominent transmigrators. Their main purpose was to maintain the common interests of all transmigrators because opposed to the people of the universe, the numbers and powers of the transmigrators were too small in comparison.

Therefore, Garen knew that no matter what he did in this world, as long as he did not directly endanger the safety of other transmigrators, there would be no problem. Of course, if there were any unknown problems or direct dangers, even vendettas could happen between transmigrators.

“Absorb Slayer and set off to the Lighthouse,” Garen set the destination. Before the footsteps in the distance approached, he had already swooshed out towards the entrance of the base. His speed was almost phantom-like in the eyes of ordinary people, not visible at all.

As he traveled within the base, Garen who was already familiar with the roads quickly arrived at the entrance. Looking far away from there, he could see a huge army of black soldiers lined up. Every elite powerhouse was already mobilized here. Obviously, No.2 had already known that he would leave the base as open as the day.

Standing behind the crowd of the army, No.2 had her walking stick with her as she stared at Garen. A glimmer of helplessness and pity fleet through her eyes.

“Submit yourself to arrest, Garen.”

“I’ve never thought about it.” Garen took a step forward. “That someone would dare to ask me to submit myself to arrest?” He had a hint of a smile in his expression as if he was greeting a fellow friend.

But at this moment, both sides were not at all friends, but instead, a dense array of hundreds of elite soldiers were in a ring surrounding them.

The top twenty Vulture powerhouses, except for No.1 and several other ones who were out stationed, had all arrived on the spot. Each and every one of them had started up their own modified half-machinized armor as they stared at Garen carefully.

Most of them had their red dots aimed at Garen, it was the laser device.

“Don’t be crazy.” No.5 stood out snorting, “You’re not the only tough guy in this world. Furthermore, even if you are so strong and powerful, we have so many powerhouses here, why would we be scared of you?”

No.5 had always been dissatisfied with Garen, a cheeky young rookie, who had always pushed him around, and now he had just found his opportunity. He never thought that even though he was never able to find any flaws in Garen, Garen himself would make such a huge mistake. This made him extremely ecstatic. The same thing, after he heard about the whole process of Garen’s uprising, he was a little upset over No.4’s death. Therefore, in order to let the plan run smoothly, he gathered up a massive amount of elites nominally to encircle Garen, but in reality, it was just to protect himself and important people like No.2.

Garen was too lazy to even bother with this blockhead, they were not even at the same level at all. His gaze immediately landed on No.2, the true authority of the entire Vulture.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Things have already reached this extent, what else can I say? No.1 and I had always thought highly of you,” No.2 sighed.

“If that’s the case, step aside then.” Garen looked at the crowd before him blocking the entrance. Almost half of these elites were personally trained by him, some of them even learned so many things from him that they took him as their master. Even Double-Tailed Scorpion and Butcher included, who had their heads low, not even daring to look at him in his eyes.

Both of them were different from the others. It was not out of respect or any feelings, but they knew the true hidden powers of Garen. They knew that this entire army was not enough to hold him down, that was why they were so afraid.

“No way we’ll step aside,” No.2 said resolutely. Once they get out of the way, the entire prestige of Vulture would be completely destroyed.

“Seems like I’ll have to make a move then,” Garen strode toward the entrance, ignoring the crowd that was blocking the entrance.

“Stand still!” One of the top-ranked Vulture powerhouse said. Perhaps it was the urge to perform in front of other high ranks, or perhaps he was looking down on Garen. He leaped out with two sickle-like weapons and darted toward Garen. Both sides of the weapons were glowing with red electricity as if it was some advanced propulsion device.

Nobody moved as an extremely bright Light Beam struck Garen’s eyes, completely dazzling his vision.

Bang!

The double-sickle landed on Garen’s right arm and broke like a piece of paper, sending millions of shards flying all over the place, whirling as they nailed into the nearby walls and ground.

Meanwhile, Garen had the powerhouse jostled up with an arm high in the sky.

For a top-notch powerhouse like Garen, not to mention such an incredible physique, even the slightly weaker body under his powerful workings would produce a miraculous effect. It was pretty normal for one slight force to have its effect multiplied by ten times.

It was definitely not a waste of extra power and the efficiency was terrifying.

“Forewind,” Garen said softly as he grabbed onto the person’s chest.

Hiss!

The man’s body instantly ripped apart and flew to two sides, his blood splattering all over the ground. Flesh, bones, and even the internal organs and half-machinized armor were all neatly torn into halves.

The ultra-close ranged forewind Saber Art had instantly ripped the person into half without any resistance at all.

Starting from Garen, the white ground before him turned into a fan-shaped red piece of ground. It was all splattered by the blood of the powerhouse after his body was mangled.

In an instant, everyone on the spot was shocked, even the ones who were preparing to aid.

“We can’t fight him close-ranged!” No.2’s face fell. She had always been unsure of how strong Garen actually was, only hearing from enemies who reflected about Garen’s terrifying combat power. She was not exactly sure to what extent were his terrifying powers.

Right in front of her eyes, a top twenty powerhouse could not even last through one round against Garen. She immediately shuddered.

“Long-ranged take aim, attack!” No.5 suddenly yelled.

Before No.2 could stop, No.5 already commanded. Once all shootings start, it might cause both sides to have faces completely torn off. He too had the firepower authority in the base.

Boom.

Overwhelming power broke out at the same time, all concentrated on Garen.

Bullets, snipers, bombs, grenades, electromagnetic bombs, lasers, poison gas grenades, poison needles, all sorts of high-risk weapons started bombarding toward Garen at the same moment. The sky seemed to lit up for a second, caused by the flash of light when all shots were fired.

In the loud noise, Garen raised his arm and his lips moved. Nobody knew what he said, but he instantly submerged in the gunfire and nothing could be seen anymore.

A blinding light appeared as the location where he was standing before suddenly exploded. As light and fire both intertwined, everything was blurry.

“Who’s the one who released so much poisonous smoke? Do you want to die?!” No.5 shrieked furiously. There were so many people here, in addition to the bomb explosions that would spread out the airflow, releasing poisonous gas at this very moment would simply kill everyone!

The disadvantage of Vulture that had never had a coordinated operation was immediately shown.

But nobody noticed Double-Tailed Scorpion and Root Doctor Jiatai who were secretly hiding the poisonous gas launcher in their hands, blending into the crowd behind. Both of them were the one who released the poisonous gas. They were particularly clear of Garen’s true powers and that this bunch of people was not capable of holding down Garen at all. Back at the Ocean Capital, Garen was able to deal with such a strong battle array already, this little bunch of people was nothing. At their levels, they were not even true elite powerhouses, they held no threat towards Garen at all.

“Instead for digging our own graves, it’s better to seek opportunities and let him go.” This was what Root Doctor and Double-Tailed Scorpion concluded in their conversation earlier on through the earpiece. Opposing the Vulture, they had more faith in Garen’s powers.

Exiting the crowd, Jiatai looked at the flashes of explosion far away. He remained silent.

“Who knows where’s Garen headed next? Do you think we can go along with him?”

“Well, I was just thinking the same thing.” Double-Tailed Scorpion laughed. Garen treated his subordinates and his own men pretty good and he was quite generous. If anything was to happen, as long as it would not oppose his own morals, he would definitely lend a hand and cover for them. On a daily basis, he would not control much either. He was practically the epitome of a true boss.

“Too bad, Vulture.” Jiatai shook his head. “Listen up, there’s going to be screams soon.”
