Before the thought flashed through his mind, Garon suddenly took a step back, and a black line appeared where he had been standing.
It was a broken spear that had sneaked up on him without a sound.
Garon's gaze deepened.
"Again!"
He abruptly leaped forward.
"Wind Ahead."
With a swoosh, the blade flashed, turning into a white pillar that crashed into his opponent. This time, the two blades combined into one, its power was twice as strong as before.
Slayer began to take this seriously.
"Spear of Wheel!"
The dozens of spear fragments floating around him began to vibrate, gathering together to form a black metal shield.
"Bam!"
With a muffled sound, the spear, shield, and dual blades collided.
Garon's body turned, and he escaped into the distance like a fish.
Slayer's two undercurrent attacks missed because of this. He stood where he was, frowning as he watched Garon's retreating figure.
"What is this? A test? "
He had received news of Garon's challenge in advance, so he had been waiting in place. But now that the opponent had retreated without a result, it was obvious that this was just a test, and there was no real intention to determine the winner.
Both sides knew that no matter who it was, they had not used their strongest powers yet. So if this battle were to continue, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.
"Sir?" A silver diver swam over. "Do you want to pursue?"
"No need, there are too many spies around." Slayer raised his hand. "We haven't found the item, let's retreat first."
"Understood."
After waiting for his subordinate to leave, the red light in Slayer's eyes lit up again. He turned around, and looked at the black submarines slowly approaching the bottom of the sea. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
*****
Garon climbed onto the cruise ship, and was helped up to the deck by two special agents. His wet body slid down the surface of his diving suit.
"Sir, you're injured!" One of the special agents exclaimed, and covered his mouth when he saw the bloody wound on Garon's back.
"I'm fine." Garon pulled off his hood, and shook the water off his hair. "Arrange a return trip for me, we'll leave immediately. This little injury is nothing. "
"O … Okay." The female agent's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw the wounds on Garon's back healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. She stammered as she ran away.
He recalled the battle with Slayer just now.
"Interesting." Garon's lips curled up slightly.
Initially, he had thought that there was nothing in this world that could threaten him, so he had planned to take a good rest. He did not expect that there would be an unknown Sea God, and now Slayer's strength had exceeded his expectations.
"Should I just kill Slayer?" Garon rubbed his chin as he thought. He had a basic understanding of the other party's strength, and he had yet to use his true strength. He had yet to use his Soul Power to forcibly raise his strength by one rank. Once he used his full strength and reached the level of Transcendent, his strength would be several times stronger than it was now. It was enough to kill Slayer in an instant.
"But that guy seems to have some kind of trump card. The threshold of Transcendent Power in this world is too high, so I can't make a difference. How troublesome."
In the Mech World, he was at the level where he could destroy a planet with one hand. He belonged to the true Demon King Level. If it were not for the abnormal rules of this world, it was possible for him to destroy this planet with one slap. After all, the Soul Power of a Demon King Level Soul Ring was strong enough to condense a physical body. The speed at which his strength was increasing could be called abnormal among abnormal. And as his Soul Power grew stronger, the speed of his improvement would become faster and more ferocious.
Now, even with the suppression of the rules of this world, Garon's average physical fitness had reached a terrifying average of five points.
The true horror of the Mother Stream System was gradually revealed.
It had great adaptability in any world, and it was reflected here. It could almost perfectly fit into the rules of the new universe, and obtain the pinnacle of power there. Then, on this basis, it could use the Soul Ring to forcibly raise its level and reach a higher level.
This was the strongest part of the Mother Stream System.
Garon now understood this point.
After changing his clothes, he entered the cabin's restaurant to rest. The food and drinks were already prepared. The entire cruise ship had begun to turn back due to a special 'malfunction'. Originally, the entire cruise ship was specially arranged because of Garon.
"You actually went to challenge Slayer?" A voice came from the restaurant's entrance.
Nine-Tailed Fox and Li Hua followed into the restaurant and stared at Garon with an unhappy expression.
"Didn't I tell you to stay at the headquarters and protect everyone? Do you know how much danger and harm you'll cause to everyone if you leave without permission?! "
Nine-Tailed Fox strode to Garon and slammed the table.
"Isn't it fine now?" Garon said lazily.
"What if Slayer doesn't fight with you and goes straight to our companions at the headquarters? Who will be responsible if something happens?! "Nine-Tailed Fox was obviously angry. "Ah Xue and the rest are all at the headquarters. If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?!"
"Don't worry, it's fine. Didn't I arrange for people to protect them when I left?" Garon did not care. "Slayer's target isn't us. His attention isn't on us at all."
He picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You're still eating!!"
With a smack, Nine-Tailed Fox slapped the pastry in Garon's hand and it fell to the ground.
Her chest rose and fell violently. She looked extraordinarily angry.
"No organization! No discipline!! You can't even handle a small matter that I arranged for you! What's the use of keeping someone like you?! Other than wasting everyone's resources, what else can you do?! "
"Hey … calm down." Li Hua tugged at her sleeve but was flung away by Nine-Tailed Fox. "Don't you care!"
Garon glanced at the pastry that was slapped away. He did not care and picked up another piece.
"I'm wasting your resources?"
He felt that Nine-Tailed Fox was obviously venting her anger. It seemed that she had encountered something that was bothering her somewhere else and was just venting it out because of him.
"This cruise ship that you're on now, eating now, using now, aren't they all a waste?!" Nine-Tailed Fox sneered.
"This seems to be the power of the National Security Agency," Garon said slowly.
"Why do you think they value you so much? If it weren't for us helping you behind your back, would they value a nobody like you who's only in his teens? After all, most of your resources now belong to all of us! "
"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Li Hua could not stand it anymore and quickly pulled her back.
"You guys are helping me behind my back?" Garon smiled. "Looks like you still don't understand the real situation …" He picked up an apple and sniffed it under his nose.
"Do you want to … fight?"
The air in the restaurant turned cold in an instant. It was as if the warm spring had returned to the cold winter.
A cold murderous intent emanated from Garon's body. It rose and spread to every corner of the restaurant.
Nine-Tailed Fox and Li Hua could not help but shiver. Only then did they suddenly remember that the man in front of them had just challenged Slayer and escaped unscathed.
Now, he did not seem to be injured at all and could still emanate such a strong murderous intent.
Nine-Tailed Fox's heart skipped a beat. The anger that arose from something earlier was instantly extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.
"…" She took a deep breath and raised her hand to look at her arm. Her skin was covered with dense goosebumps. Those were goosebumps. Only when a person instinctively encountered a great threat would they suddenly have so many goosebumps.
Waves of cold air kept flowing into her brain, reminding her that the man in front of her had a strong sense of threat.
She glanced at Li Hua. This equally strong companion of hers had her pupils constricted. Although she was still standing in her original position, her body was obviously tense. She was ready to attack at any time.
At this moment, Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly remembered that ever since they met, Garon's strength had never really been exposed.
"Have you calmed down?" Garon raised his wine glass and took a sip of red wine. He gently tossed the apple in his other hand over.
"…" Nine-Tailed Fox did not know what tone to use to reply. Her agitated emotions had also cooled down under this cold air.
"It'll be fine if you talk nicely," Li Hua advised from the side. "We're all companions," she gestured for the other waiters to leave, leaving only the three of them in the restaurant.
She pulled Nine-Tailed Fox to sit down and looked at Garon who was opposite her.
"Ah Xue is missing."
“.....”
Garon's expression was stunned at first. Then, it turned cold.
"I was still talking to her on the phone yesterday …" "She went missing last night."
Li Hua interrupted him.
"I'm sorry, Wen Zhen has her reasons for being so agitated," Li Hua closed her eyes and recalled. "Wen Zhen and I have been looking for her for an entire night. Then, we heard that you came here to challenge Slayer. That's why she's so angry. I hope you can understand. "
Garon ignored her. Instead, he took out his phone and called Kong Xinxue directly.
The phone rang slowly. The sound of waiting to be picked up kept ringing. Four times passed, eight times passed, ten times passed, still no one picked up.
Garen's expression became colder and colder as no one picked up the call.
Li Hua took out her Lighthouse Communicator and activated a layer of invisible signal interference. Then, she gently placed the Lighthouse Communicator on the table.
"Perhaps you don't know. Although the souls of transmigrators like us have the characteristic of being able to transmigrate infinitely, after transmigrating too many times, there will be a phenomenon of being washed clean. "
"Washed clean?" It was the first time Garon heard of this. "What do you mean?" His hands did not stop moving. He made another call. This time, it was to Kong Yuan.
"It means that although the soul will not die, it will be forcefully distorted due to the interference of space-time and various kinds of radiation. It will continuously lose its memories and soul. In the end, it will lose everything and become an empty soul. It will start from scratch … Moreover, the more transmigrations and transmigrations, the more serious this phenomenon will be. "
Li Hua explained in a low voice.
"As for Ah Xue, she did not transmigrate three or four times like she said. Instead, she transmigrated more than eight times …"
"Eight times is the limit." Nine-Tailed Fox finally spoke. She continued in a low voice, "She was with me. From the beginning to the end, she was with me. She can't die any longer! Half of her memories have already been washed clean. If she dies again … she might not even remember who I am. "
