In the sky.

A transport aircraft belonging to the Carmenia Air Force roared through the clouds, protected by four fighter jets.

An enigmatic shadow lurked in a corner of the cargo hold.

The leader of the Mount of Gods, Jeremy, stood obediently to the side.

Due to air turbulence, the flight of the transport aircraft wasn't smooth, occasionally shaking a bit.

This leader resembled a seventy-year-old man, yet his feet stood firm, indicating he was no ordinary person.

A voice as cold as iron rang from the shadows: "I can sense that the aura of the Destroyer is getting weaker.

"Just moments ago, it had completely vanished as if it never existed in this world.

"I'm increasingly curious about what the Destroyer has gone through?"

Jeremy instantly understood that the so-called "aura" was likely the secret "backdoor" left by Lord Wanshan.

Regarding this, the leader wasn't surprised.

Because this was often done by the Carmenia Federation.

In the past, when the Federation led the world in technology, the Carmenians hadn't missed a chance to use a backdoor for surveillance.

If Lord Wanshan hadn't done such a thing, Jeremy would indeed feel suspicious.

After all, with no personal ambition, there could be a much grander scheme beneath.

At this moment.

Jeremy posed a question: "Lord Wanshan, how do you plan to deal with the Destroyer?"

This statement contained a hint of probing.

Because among the many superpower users of the Mount of Gods, none had ever seen Lord Wanshan in action.

The iron voice laughed sharply: "It's merely a Destroyer, I can suppress it effortlessly; why plan at all?"

This was a response to the probing.

Silently, a small skirmish occurred between both parties.

Jeremy wisely retreated: "Lord Wanshan, in front of the Qing yang Sacred Race, the Canglan People are just frogs at the bottom of a well. Please excuse my earlier impudence."

The leader gleaned one piece of information from the probing: the "backdoor" left by Lord Wanshan was probably extremely powerful.

It's expected that once they meet, the Destroyer will be easily subdued.

Jeremy promptly said: "Lord Wanshan, to express our apologies, once you suppress the Destroyer, Mount of Gods will prepare ten extra blood offerings for you."

The iron voice gained a note of satisfaction: "After researching the Destroyer, I will hand it over to you."

With that sound, the shadow squirmed slightly.

Inside appeared a figure resembling a goat's head.

Evidently.

The race which Wanshan belongs to, the "Qing yang Sacred Race," likely has some connection with this goat's head.

On the other side.

In the wasteland.

A strange ripple suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Eric's blurred figure, or rather the "Slaughter Battleaxe," emerged with the ripple.

One second later.

The figure turned from blurred to clear.

The Slaughter Battleaxe, wielding a war axe formed from vine strands, descended onto the wasteland.

It looked around and said, filled with admiration: "So magical!"

Just now.

This second warrior of Canglan Star was taken by Yang Fan into the Spirit Tree Space within the Space Pearl.

It personally experienced the space transfer and witnessed the Spirit Tree supporting the space.

This was a giant tree towering over a hundred meters.

Due to its superpower, Eric felt extremely close to the Spirit Tree.

It even had a sense that spending long durations in the Spirit Tree Space would rapidly enhance its power.

Yang Fan smiled and asked: "Did you sense anything just now?"

Eric's speech was filled with disbelief: "My sense of crisis has vanished completely."

Yang Fan provided an explanation: "The Spirit Tree Space is an independent space, so Mr. Demon cannot sense your existence."

He paused to emphasize: "I told you, I have the ability to protect you."

Eric bowed slightly: "Meeting you is my fortune."

Originally, he was desperately seeking any cure, not knowing he would accidentally hold onto an immensely strong thigh.

Yang Fan instructed: "Mr. Demon is about to arrive. Stick to the plan, pretend to escape along Aika River, and then we'll give Mr. Demon a big surprise."

"Yes!"

Eric responded respectfully.

He swung the battleaxe forcefully, producing a "whoosh" piercing sound.

"Buzz～"

A large swarm of Poisonous Mosquitos quickly converged, concealing its visage.

Eric sprinted away, soon disappearing into the silent night.

Yang Fan watched his subordinate leave, his mind stirred slightly.

Lines of illusory text emerged.

〖Vine Technique〗: Activated, Low Grade Mental Superpower, current evolution level at 28%.

Yang Fan contemplated upon seeing the "28%" evolution level: "Spirit Tree Space is not only a space for holding living entities; it seems to have enormous potential waiting to be tapped."

As Vine Technique superpower was activated just now, the Spirit Tree inside the Spirit Tree Space shook several times, and the superpower evolution level mystically rose to 28%.

Under normal circumstances, activating a superpower had only an evolution level of 1%.

*

Half an hour later.

"Whew～"

Accompanied by the roar of engines.

A transport aircraft flew over the wasteland.

Inside the cargo hold.

A dark mass squirmed slightly.

A metallic voice echoed from within, tinged with mockery: "The Destroyer seems to have sensed my arrival and is running like a scared little mouse."

Jeremy looked full of admiration: "You are truly a formidable power."

The Federation had no means to deal with the Destroyer; the Air Force had been conducting aerial reconnaissance but never found a trace.

Yet when Lord Wanshan came, the Destroyer began to flee in panic.

The metallic voice conveyed a sense of deep astonishment: "The Destroyer's aura has strengthened considerably; it has actually awakened a superpower.

"The transformation ceremony usually distorts the experimenter's soul, generally making it impossible to awaken a superpower. It seems the Destroyer's soul is quite unusual."

Wanshan's tone added a bit of covetousness: "This little mouse is indeed a surprise."

Jeremy was adept at speaking: "This is a little gift Canglan Star has prepared for you, hoping Lord Wanshan will reap some gains."

Wanshan laughed "gaga" with impatience in his voice: "The little mouse seems to feel uneasy; it's jumped into the river, I'll go fetch it back."

As soon as the words were spoken.

The dark mass suddenly vanished.

Wanshan was gone.

Jeremy gazed at the empty cabin, a bit regretful: "What a pity, this guy named Eric could have become an excellent superpower user."

The leader of the Mount of Gods immediately revealed a smile: "But using him to please Lord Wanshan should bring more knowledge."

Half a minute later.

Three kilometers away.

A dark mass swiftly flickered in the air, appearing above the river.

This was the Aika River.

Due to the sharp drop in nighttime temperatures, a thin layer of ice had formed on the river surface.

Wanshan laughed "gaga" again: "Come out, little mouse."

At the same time.

The dark mass suddenly contracted.

"Splash!"

A surge of water shot up into the sky.

Within a radius of several dozen meters, a cold rain instantly began to fall.

A dark shadow surfaced, mixed in the water.

From its shape, the shadow closely resembled the Destroyer.

However.

In that instant.

Wanshan felt no joy.

Its metallic voice suddenly changed: "No, this is not the Destroyer."

The demon clearly saw that the black shadow it snatched was woven from multiple vines.

If it were just that, it wouldn't have lost its composure.

The issue was that the vine figure carried the Destroyer's aura, and it had been fooled, mistaking it for the real Destroyer.

Wanshan instantly realized something—an expert had intervened!

Moreover, the opponent's strength was definitely not weaker than its own.

The dark mass squirmed and changed direction, darting into the sky.

Wanshan prepared to leave.

Something about this seemed abnormal, and it didn't want to risk itself; leaving was the safest option.

Just then.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar.

The vine figure suddenly exploded.

A gigantic, blazing fireball blossomed above the river.

Caught off guard, Wanshan had no time to dodge and was engulfed by the fireball.

In the sky.

Jeremy witnessed the fireball rising with his own eyes.

The leader was dumbfounded.

Didn't Lord Wanshan say this would be an easy task?

Why hasn't this powerful entity from beyond captured the Destroyer, and instead took a hit from a bomb?

Jeremy's trust in Wanshan suddenly wavered slightly.

*

Not far away.

Yang Fan, hidden to the side, grinned: "Mr. Demon, are you satisfied with this gift?"

The vine figure disguised as Eric was naturally his handiwork.

Using the magical power of the Life Decree, he extracted the aura from Eric and infused it into the disguise, successfully deceiving Mr. Demon.

And the item that caused the explosion were two heavy thermobaric bombs he obtained from the Great Xia Military.

How about a High Rank Warrior?

You still get beaten up!
