In just three seconds, the defensive weapons of the Eighth District Command in Beijing executed a finishing move on an ancient demon at limit breaker level eight.
The power of technology was undoubtedly showcased at that moment.
When the defense system detected that the target had lost its life force, these defensive weapons immediately turned their barrels, pointing the white glowing gun muzzles at the remaining four soul puppets.
Seeing this, the giant octopus’s body twitched once more. It was as if it were a large piece of clay, continuously expanding and extending until its body transformed into a massive curtain. The next second, numerous defensive weapons shot out energy streams again. However, this time, the particle streams shot by the defensive weapons seemed to be absorbed by the curtain, dissipating without a ripple.
"Buzz~~~"
A faint buzzing sound arose, and the curtain instantly shifted, spreading out and tightly wrapping the entire command center.
For a moment, from a distance, the whole command center appeared to be encased in a giant jelly.
Purple liquid seeped into the various gaps of the commander-in-chief. They clung to the defensive weapons, which were crafted from heavy metals, causing them to emit hissing sounds as if they were encountering a strong acid. In a short time, the defensive weapons were completely disintegrated by the giant octopus.
But what this giant octopus could do went far beyond that.
Each part of the purple liquid was its body tissue, its sensory organs—its ears, nose, eyes...
As the purple liquid infiltrated the command center, the giant octopus quickly eroded all defenses within, and the energy fluctuations of all living beings "inside" it could not escape the perception of its sensory organs.
"Target, Beijing leader Lin Haifeng, physical quality... good heavens, over a million! Besides that, the threat level of other life forms... is zero!"
At this moment, the giant octopus felt a bit puzzled—there were numerous personnel in the vast command center, yet in its threat assessment, only Lin Haifeng qualified as a combat unit.
However, upon further thought, it understood.
Having just experienced the assault of the demonic tide, the strong ones here should be on the front lines, and since powerful beings were scarce, it could ensure the smooth execution of the task.
As long as it could ensure that the one ultimately killed was Lin Haifeng himself, that would be enough!
Hearing the giant octopus's words, a small figure, only about 1 meter tall with black skin, quickly approached the body of the giant octopus. As the purple curtain opened wide, the small figure immediately flew inside.
Next, a strong humanoid creature, two meters tall and wrapped in tattered black cloth, followed suit. Finally, a tall, slender being resembling an elf, with pointed ears, entered the giant octopus's body. At that moment, the giant octopus retracted its body, and on the purple curtain, two long and thin appendages, resembling tentacles, swiftly plunged into the ground, extending far away.
……
“What is this…”
Looking at the black curtain that appeared out of thin air, Fang Yuqiong showed a look of astonishment. After a brief observation, he turned his gaze to his uncle.
“Uncle, what is this…?”
Seeing Fang Yuqiong’s confused expression, the celestial god smiled gently.
“Don’t you want to become the commander-in-chief of Beijing? I’m clearing the obstacles for you… If your grandfather doesn’t retire, how could you possibly become the commander-in-chief…”
Once these words were spoken, Fang Yuqiong fell silent, his face displaying a mix of entanglement, heartache, and a hint of cruelty.
This issue was something anyone with normal intelligence could imagine—if Lin Haifeng didn’t die, they would all remain as princes. Want to become emperor? Dream on.
At this moment, Fang Yuqiong’s expression perfectly reflected his inner emotional turmoil—he understood these principles, but watching his grandfather die… well, that was a bit tough.
