Chapter 928: Desperate Situation 2

Garen shook out the armor-piercing shells from the gun as he leaned against the hospital’s ruined wall on the first floor.
Everyone who had entered the building had already been killed. So, he acted in such a way that made it seem like he was on the verge of dying. He switched off the relay instrument from the Mini Mech. He laid at a side of the ruins while reducing his Mech’s temperature with the Cold Radiation to the point where the body temperature was indistinguishable.
If his opponent primarily used heat to detect any signs of life, then they would not be able to detect him as long as he could blend in with the surrounding temperature.
He would have a chance to survive as long as the opponent intends to capture him alive.
Garen’s highly intense spirit and continuous actions had made him extremely tired as he had exhausted a huge amount of spiritual energy.
His eyelids became heavier over time. He felt as if it was difficult to keep his eyes open, that they could shut down at any time and never open again.
The hospital was in a disastrous state – corpses, fiery fires, bullets, and debris of Mechs could be seen everywhere. A document room, nearby the hospital, was broken as the documents inside were slowly burning. The plastics which were sandwiched in between the papers were slowly turning black, giving off viscous smoke.
The hospital was filled with smoke. It was so bad that one would not be able to see their fingers if they reached their hands out. Crackles were occasionally heard from the wooden furniture that was burning at high temperature.
The power to annihilate dozens of Miniaturized Mech alone was Garen’s raw strength. Without including his unique ability, the Hellfrost Peacock Technique, it was about three times more than a typical person. Ultimately, Garen’s unrivaled prowess in martial arts had made him a classical killing machine, so much so that even the military specialist powerhouses were no match for him.
Boom.
The wall on the first floor was punched through, and the stone debris flew about in the air as multiple human figures slowly walked in.
The man who was at the front reached out his right hand, as if he was grasping onto something.
“Sun Finger Ring.”
A circular golden halo appeared underneath his feet and spread out across the floor. Similar to the ripples spreading about on the surface of the water, the halo would automatically reflect once it reached the wall or any obstacles. After a few seconds, the whole area, including the ceiling was filled with these golden ripples.
Garen was stunned. It was impossible for him to avoid it as he could only see the golden ripples bouncing about on his body.
At the same time, he sensed that these people’s eyes were on him.
“I’ve been discovered!!”
He was startled as their first reaction was to shoot at him with their guns instead. He immediately rolled to the side and jumped up with his legs.
“Hand of Void!”
The other girl shouted.
A powerful strength enveloped Garen as if an elusive huge hand had captured him while he was in the mid-air.
However, the Hand of Void was immediately neutralized with a sea of Cold Radiation. Garen then leaped into the Hospital’s kitchen to hide and no noise was heard after that.
The leader turned his body and the armor-piercing bullets burst opened the left side of the wall. To these group of powerhouses, avoiding these bullets was something very common to them. They wouldn’t be injured unless the path of the bullet was extremely curved or a refraction bullet was used.
“I can’t locate him with my Sun Finger Ring. You guys shall move accordingly,” The leader said calmly.
“Well, duh?” The black-shirted girl behind him scoffed. Then she walked into the hole in the wall, and stared at the viscous smoke inside with a frown.
“Wind of Void!”
Invisible strong wind emerged as she raised both of her hands up, forming a small gray tornado inside the hospital, carrying away all the combustion in the oxygen.
The fiery fire distinguished at the speed that was visible to the naked eye. Though very quickly, all the smoke was gathered by the tornado, and was sent away through the hole in the wall. Immediately after, it exploded, and the smoke slowly floated upwards.
In a split second, the huge fire in the whole hospital was distinguished.
“I expect nothing less from a Level Five Resonance Powerhouse. To possess Resonance of this level is simply amazing to witness,” The lead man shrugged and he wasn’t angry at all.
The black-shirted woman walked into the kitchen without any sense of fear. She didn’t seem to care about any sort of ambush, whether it was guns or explosives.
Another four people from the powerhouse group entered the area. They were all criminals who had been sentenced to death but was kept alive by the military. They were equally assigned among the military groups as an ultimate weapon. Majority of them were Level Five Powerhouses, and the minority of them were Resonance Pilots. Since their Exclusives Mechs were destroyed, they could only release a set of simple Willpower techniques. However, under their overpoweringly strong Willpower, these techniques were strong enough to bend reality itself.
“Be careful. This kid was once a topnotch Level Five Pilot as well.” Seeing how the woman ignored him, he quickly followed up as well.
Both of them walked together as they entered the kitchen on the first floor.
The kitchen was huge. It was a place for the nurses, doctors, and patients to eat.
White cloths that were half burnt were hung in there. However, no one was sure what their purpose was.
“Those words you said back in Tienye Canyon? What did you mean?” The man walked to the woman’s side and whispered into her ears.
“It is however you would want to interpret it,” the woman said coldly.
“That incident isn’t my fault. I can’t do anything if you insist on pushing the blame on me. However, can you please understand the whole situation?” The man said helplessly.
“What situation? Haven’t you already done it?” The woman stared at him coldly.
“I have said that it’s a misunderstanding…” His expression changed before he could finish speaking, while he grabbed onto the girl’s shoulder.
Boom!
Suddenly, a human figure raised from the curtain, and rushed towards the woman.
At the same time, the Cold Radiation was cast upon the both of them, hitting them hard as they were about to activate their Willpower abilities.
Boom!
The man took a few steps back once he was hit. Whereas the girl was kicked in the abdomen by Garen.
“Void!!”
As she screamed, a powerful Willpower was released from the woman’s body.
The invisible force spread outwards, with the woman as the epicenter. The rubbles, Miniature Mech, and even the corpses on the ground were sent flying everywhere. All the cloth in the kitchen were torn apart. In the howling wind, Garen’s body flew out as if he was hit by a train.
He spat out a huge amount of blood from his mouth.
Garen felt that most of his bones were broken. Along with this hit, his injured body suffered even more damage. He had been relying on an exhausting huge amount of Potential Points to forcingly suppress his injury since Potential Points could be used to increase the regeneration process. However, it was being restrained by the Divine Wind General’s residual Willpower, resulting in a very slow regeneration.
To make his injury worse, he was now hit by such a powerful Willpower.
Garen laid on the ground; he was unable to move. His skin was cracked and not a single part of him looked unharmed. He had literally become a blood man, drenched in blood from head to toe, and was on his last breath. He was on the verge of unconsciousness as he couldn’t control the inner injury of his body. The Potential Points were unable to recover the injury caused by two heavy attacks.
“That’s a close one. Is this guy really a Level One trash?!” The two had just calmed down from the shock of the sudden ambush.
The duo walked towards Garen’s side, and kicked his head.
“He’s almost dead,” The woman frowned. Although she was kicked in the abdomen, she didn’t suffer many injuries as she had a strong body and managed to released her Willpower in time. She seemed fine, excluding her pale face. “How should we deal with him?”
“Bring him out of this place. The interrogator would make him spill out whatever we need to know.” The man shrugged as he looked at the corpses and Miniature Mech around the area. “To be honest, I’m really interested in how this guy has managed to kill so many people.”
He walked towards the corpse, and flipped it with his leg as he tried to find the lethal wound.
Suddenly, he gasped softly.
There was no sign of wound from the corpse. What made it even stranger was that the corpse seemed like an empty shell. Other than the layer of skin, the internal organs seemed to have been sucked dry. It was like a predator spider that used a poison to melt the internal organs of its prey. After the prey died, it would then slowly suck it dry, leaving behind a layer of empty shell.
The man suddenly shivered. He had never seen such an assassination technique before.
“Let’s move out quickly,” The woman said softly from behind.
“Alright.” The man turned around. However, his pupil shrunk as a sharp dagger was pierced through his heart without mercy.
Crack!
The dagger twisted deeper into the wound.
The attacker was the woman. Her appearance was rather bizarre, with red eyes and her skin covered in a layer of light grey transparent scale. She looked rather cold yet explosive, as if she was a volcano that was on the verge of explosion.
“Snow…”
The man tried his best to reach out his hand, trying to touch the woman’s face. However, the gaze in his eyes dimmed down as the dagger that had pierced his heart twisted once more.
Thump.
He fell to his face.
Roar!
The woman who had been mutated with the Distorted Seed started to cry in agony; tears flowed out of her eyes. However, as her body mutated further on, she was gradually covered in a thicker grey scale.
Crack!
A long and sharp tail emerged out from her back – a part of her new mutated body.
Under the effect of the Distorted Seed, the powerful Half Moon Grade Willpower quickly evolved. It became one time… Two times… Three times more powerful!!
In that instant, the woman’s strength tripled, and her body size increased tremendously. A third grey-white eye started appearing on her forehead.
“Go… Kill them all! Kill everything that you can see…”
Garen laughed mercilessly as he laid on the ground.
One could only wonder how powerful a Half Moon Grade Powerhouse could be under the parasitic effect of the Distorted Seed? He was eager to know as well.
In an instant, the woman disappeared. It wasn’t just her Willpowered that had become stronger. Her physical attributes had tripled as well.
This was where the Hellfrost Peacock Technique shone the most. Its main prowess didn’t come from its host. Instead, it is to create chaos and control beings via the Distorted Seed. Once it is planted on a powerful being, it would increase their strength further to create chaos, killing everything in sight.
After the mutated woman monster rushed out of the room, the sound of Mech exploding was instantly heard.
The screams of fear and panic could be heard everywhere.
“What is that!?””It’s a monster! Fire!!”
Roar!
The woman would occasionally scream at the top of her lungs.
Garen didn’t know how powerful a Half Moon Grade Powerhouse was with their strength tripled. However, he knew that this was the best time for him to escape as the chaos would soon be under controlled. Even if a mutated monster had the strength of an Inherited Level, a powerful Pilot would be able to handle it. Without intelligence and wisdom, it would still be a monster without intelligence no matter how powerful it was. Its only purpose was to create chaos.
He then wore the equipment that belonged to the corpses that he had sucked dry with Hellfrost Peacock’s blue strands and walked out of the hospital, acting as a Mech that was on the verge of dying.
It was already a mess when he walked out. The team that had surrounded the area was gone. What was left was just a pile of corpses. After the woman had mutated, the true power of the Willpower of Void was no longer when it was applied on a Mech. She was already a killer machine with her enhanced physical characteristics. Within half a minute, she had managed to annihilate everything outside. The Void of Winds was everywhere, tearing the Mechs apart.
The Miniature Mechs survivors on the ground who tried to get up from the puddle of blood immediately dropped back down to the ground again as they were shot by Garen.
After a few shots, Garen then added two Potential Points into his Vitality to counter the residual Willpower on his body. Following that, his body’s injury started to recover slowly, in which he was able to recover a little bit of energy eventually.
With the gun at his crutch, Garen walked towards a broken Big Mech with a limp. It was completely broken from the explosions and no part of it was perfect. It was fated to be sent to the garbage station.
Garen circled the Mech for a few rounds as he couldn’t fight against the tiredness in him. He then opened the Mech’s empty homing missile compartment located at the right leg as if it was a normal thing to do. He then jumped into it, covered it up, and fell into deep sleep.
