Meanwhile, at the Super Martial Alliance headquarters—
"Detecting monster energy signatures now..."
In the command center, the staff stared at the energy readings from the smaller monster that had just appeared, their faces filled with shock. "Level ten?!"
"What?!" Minister Shen and the others were equally stunned. "A Level Ten monster?"
While Level Ten monsters could still be handled by military drones, super martial artists were already completely useless against them!
"How many days has it been? Monsters are already reaching Level Ten..." Minister Shen's throat tightened, his expression grim.
Though super martial artists were leveling up faster too, it seemed they couldn’t keep up with the monsters' evolution speed at all!
"What do we do? Rely entirely on modern weaponry?" Minister Shen frowned deeply, still convinced that depending on military firepower would result in far greater direct losses and collateral damage compared to deploying super martial artists.
"It's attacking."
On the screen, the monster spewed blue lasers from its mouth, only for Ye Chuan to effortlessly block them.
"He’s unharmed?!" Just as many gasped in disbelief, Ye Chuan raised his hand and fired an even more powerful laser, instantly obliterating the monster’s body.
"One-shot? He one-shot it?!" Minister Shen was floored.
Just how strong are you?!
Were they, the old guard, already falling behind the pace of everyone else’s evolution?
Witnessing a Level Ten monster had already shocked Minister Shen and the veterans who’d long believed Level Nine was the peak. But seeing Ye Chuan casually annihilate it felt surreal.
"Minister, should we still notify the super martial artists to head over?" a staff member asked.
Minister Shen fell into heavy silence.
Would it even matter?
Against a Level Ten monster, sending super martial artists would be no different than delivering free experience points.
"No need." Minister Shen sighed, about to say more when he noticed the spatial rift on the screen begin to swirl with violent winds, its eerie blue glow shifting to blood-red.
"What?!"
"Detecting rift energy fluctuations—far exceeding Level Ten!" The staff’s report sent Minister Shen’s heart plummeting.
Especially when a beast several times larger than the last emerged, he cried out in disbelief, "Th-That… was the earlier monster its child?!"
Identical in appearance, differing only in size, it was impossible not to suspect a connection between this colossal creature and the smaller one.
"Detecting monster energy now..."
The staff member’s voice trembled. "Level… Twenty."
Level Twenty.
An unfamiliar, terrifying rank that suffocated the room in an instant.
Level Twenty—what kind of concept was that?
"At this level, drones are useless. We’ll need heavy firepower..." Cold sweat drenched Minister Shen’s forehead. Spatial rifts had appeared worldwide, yet a Level Twenty monster had spawned in their country.
"No time—send reinforcements to Ye Chuan immediately!" Minister Shen barked. Priorities no longer mattered; this monstrosity had to be eliminated before it could wreak havoc.
A Level Twenty kaiju!
But just then, Ye Chuan moved on the screen.
He simply raised his arm again, unleashing another blinding blue laser. The monster disintegrated instantly, not even given a chance to roar.
Minister Shen and the others: "..."
Wait.
Something’s off here.
The space before Ye Chuan was empty. If not for the scattered monster remains on the ground, no one would believe the towering beast had just been one-shot again.
Still hovering mid-air, Ye Chuan gazed down at the rift. "Kill the small one, the big one comes. Kill the big one… shouldn’t the old one show up next?"
The rift pulsed with crimson light, but no stronger monster emerged—just another at the Crystal Realm level.
With his stacked attributes, even creatures of the same realm stood no chance against Ye Chuan.
Pathetic.
"You think I spent all that money for nothing?" Ye Chuan scanned the rift as yet another Godzilla-like beast emerged, radiating Crystal Realm energy and sharing the same lineage as the previous two.
Catching the scent of blood, the beast roared at Ye Chuan.
The sound was so terrifying it rattled windows miles away!
A family reunion?
"Then let’s send the whole family off together. Shaking my house like that—consider it mercy if I don’t grind your ashes to dust." Calmly, Ye Chuan extended his hand once more.
"Time to hang you all out to dry."
Another demonic beam erupted, vaporizing the beast in an instant.
Unbeknownst to him, amid the explosion, an egg-like object tumbled out of the rift, rolling into a dark alley.
It wobbled a few times before settling against a wall, as if hiding.
"Oi, you really think you can escape my senses?"
Ye Chuan’s voice cut through the air as he teleported into the alley via spatial jump. Nothing slipping out of the rift could evade his divine awareness.
"Bzzzt—" The egg, seemingly sentient, emitted a glow and fired a beam at Ye Chuan.
"Tch. So young, yet already so cunning. Annihilate it." The light fizzled uselessly against his magic immunity. Just as Ye Chuan raised his hand, he paused.
Hmm…
A monster egg might have higher research value, no?
"You’re not the same species as those three, are you? Weird. Were they just decoys for you?" Ye Chuan mused.
The egg, as if understanding him, suddenly rolled away, darting deeper into the alley!
"Heh. Roll away all you want—you’ve got my attention now." With a snap of his fingers, Ye Chuan’s telekinesis locked onto the egg, lifting it into the air.
A slight mental nudge brought the egg floating before him.
One meter long, its surface resembled cracked lava rock.
"Interesting." Ye Chuan tapped the egg, then tried stuffing it into his inventory.
No response.
"Guess not." He levitated the strange egg and, like a bowling ball, hurled it into the distance.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The egg knocked over a row of abandoned trash cans.
"Strike."
Ye Chuan grinned, summoning the egg back with a wave.
"!!!!!" Furious at being used as a bowling ball, the egg’s cracks pulsed with red light.
"Tiny but feisty." Ye Chuan glanced at the shrinking rift, then left with the egg in tow.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
