The scale of the explosion was terrifying, with black smoke billowing straight into the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth.
Flames surged outwards, and after several minutes, they gradually dissipated.
As the flames faded, the demonic seeds were instantly wiped out, their remains utterly obliterated. Simultaneously, two figures appeared.
One tall, one short. One large, one small.
Bai Ye looked at them for a moment before murmuring, "Demonic seed bloodline and robots?"
The shorter figure was about 1.5 meters tall, with fiery orange-red hair, beast ears, and a cat-like tail. It was clearly a hybrid of a demonic seed and a human.
As for the taller figure, it stood nearly three meters tall. It wasn't human but a robot, its body crafted from metal and jade. Or, in the parlance of the hero realm, "robot" might not be the most accurate term. The correct term would be "automaton."
"This isn't likely to be one of the Chosen, is it?" Bai Ye mused, then his eyes lit up. "Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain?"
Of Mulan's elite squad, Bai Ye had only met Kai and Shouyue. However, the elite squad comprised more than just three members.
Bai Ye hadn't met the others because they were all on missions outside the Great Wall. Nevertheless, Shouyue had described the others to Bai Ye.
One was an automaton that had existed since the age of gods, whose sole purpose was to build the Great Wall. Though it couldn't speak and its offensive capabilities weren't formidable, it was the most solid shield of the Great Wall Guardians. There was also a rumor that it was Shouyue's stove, and that when Shouyue cooked on it, the food's deliciousness increased by 100%.
Then there was the Son of the Great Wall, who had lived on and grown up by the Great Wall for generations, ultimately returning to the Great Wall and joining the Great Wall Guardians as a mechanic. However, unlike other mechanics who tinkered with automatons, this short, demonic seed hybrid only enjoyed tinkering with bombs. Because of his cat-like ears and tail, the other members of the elite squad nicknamed him Bomb Cat.
Bai Ye stroked his chin. Mulan and Kai's father were nowhere to be seen, and Shouyue was also missing. But finding Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain seemed like a reasonable alternative.
As he thought this, Bai Ye watched as flames of explosion appeared in the distance again. He finally made a decision, spread his hands, and the Fire God Gatling melted into sludge, entering Bai Ye's body. Then, Bai Ye sprinted along the parapet.
"Hey, hey, where are you going?"
"Buddy, don't leave!"
"Yeah, we need to get merit!"
...
As Bai Ye ran, the surrounding Chosen cried out.
This one was a powerhouse. Bai Ye would unleash the Fire God Gatling, and the others would provide support fire. Since merit was awarded to the person who landed the final blow on a demonic seed, everyone followed Bai Ye, hoping to pick off stragglers. Any demonic seeds not finished off by the Fire God Gatling became merit for others.
Most importantly...
Bai Ye's sustained output speed was too fast. With Bai Ye around, the demonic seeds died quickly.
The faster the demonic seeds died, the more followed behind them, and the faster and more merit was accumulated.
Therefore, no one wanted Bai Ye to leave. Some even subtly pushed through the crowd, intending to follow Bai Ye wherever he went.
Then...
This group of people suddenly froze in disbelief.
Bai Ye ran a dozen meters along the parapet, and then...
He leaped off!
The onlookers were shocked. Many leaned over the parapet to look down, and then they saw Bai Ye plummeting. Just as he was about to hit the ground...
Bai Ye's clothes inflated like a balloon, turning into a giant sphere. When it hit the ground, it bounced repeatedly, dissipating the force of the fall.
Soon, the Steel Slime reverted to its normal form, the Black Order uniform.
Bai Ye stretched his limbs, marveling at how useful the Steel Slime truly was.
Meanwhile...
The surrounding demonic seeds, as if driven mad, charged towards Bai Ye, intending to tear him to shreds.
Bai Ye casually extended his hand, and the famous sword, Bloodthirsty, materialized. Then...
With a swift motion!
A *whoosh*!
Accompanied by a flash of sword energy, large amounts of blood splattered.
The leaping demonic seed was cleaved in two with a single strike from Bai Ye.
After this attack, Bai Ye quickly formed a hand seal and beckoned forward with his finger.
"Yin Yang Talisman!" Bai Ye flicked his finger upwards. "Form the array!"
In the next instant, a large area of red light appeared among the demonic seeds. A Yin Yang formation materialized on the ground, and then a pillar of light shot into the sky.
Miserable screams continuously echoed.
The demonic seeds within the light pillar struggled, their bodies constantly being annihilated.
To be honest, although the Yin Yang Talisman was of green quality, its power was decent, comparable to the offensive power of a blue quality item.
However, its drawbacks were obvious. It was a fixed-point, directional area attack, and the coverage wasn't very large, a circular area with a radius of three meters. This was effective against the densely packed demonic seeds, where they had no room to dodge. In a normal one-on-one combat, if it hit, it would likely be because the opponent wasn't very bright.
But why worry about that? As long as it was useful now, that was all that mattered!
Clearing a space, Bai Ye began to move forward, heading directly towards Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain.
However, it wasn't going to be easy.
The demonic seeds before him were densely packed. Furthermore, the lowest-level demonic seeds had dull minds, driven purely by animalistic instincts to charge forward and tear everything apart.
But it was precisely because of this trait that the demonic seeds were fearless. The space Bai Ye had just cleared was quickly refilled by the demonic seeds from behind.
"Goodra!" Bai Ye saw the demonic seeds surge towards him again and decisively threw a Beast Ball. "Meteor Mash!"
"Yaa~"
The Beast Ball glowed with white light, and then Goodra appeared, spreading its arms.
An invisible force emanated outwards.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
The ground rumbled and cracked continuously. Then, pieces of debris shot into the sky, hovered for a moment, and began to fall back to the ground.
The surrounding air suddenly grew scorching hot, and the falling debris began to burn, igniting into flames and transforming into massive meteors that crashed down to the ground.
Then...
A deafening roar shook the surroundings. Each meteor that fell created a deep crater in the ground.
Fierce flames swept through the area.
Layers of ripples appeared around them, and terrifying shockwaves pushed outwards, like a typhoon passing through, blowing all the surrounding demonic seeds away.
