Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1034 Could it be that they're after you?

"Little White, this Marshal Jared is a level 13 enhanced leader!"

In the team channel, Wu Qingyun's quiet report came through.

Bai Pu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He looked at Marshal Jared and flicked a finger lightly.

[Four Symbols True Meaning Domain] The shape changed, and a small energy fluctuation surged out, sweeping over Marshal Jared.

Marshal Jared trembled. From Bai Pu's gentle finger gesture, he sensed a pure energy beyond his own, as well as a complex and ever-changing level of true meaning.

"This is incredible. Your strength... no, your potential is definitely at the level of a demon lord. However, your potential has not yet been fully realized. Your current strength is only slightly better than mine. If you were to go head-to-head with a demon lord, you would definitely be the one to die."

Potential refers to Bai Pu's lord-level battle aura strength (without purple weapons), as well as his superior-grade true intent—Garde's strength is insufficient to determine the grade of Bai Pu's true intent, so it can only be classified as superior-grade true intent.

"Potential has not yet been fully realized" refers to the fact that Bai Pu's level is only 12, which is not just a difference of two levels compared to the level 14 Demon Lord, but also the suppression brought by the overall situation.

Bai Pu nodded and smiled, "Of course, if I already had enough strength, I would have infiltrated the Demon Lord's camp and killed him directly. Why would I need to come to you?"

Rashid III understood Bai Pu's meaning. He cleared his throat and said, "So, Dio Fulei, you mean to have the city guards cooperate with you to kill the demon lord?"

“That’s right,” Bai Pu nodded.

Rashid III, with his large pregnant belly, looked at Marshal Jarid.

Marshal Jared shook his head: "Dio, you're underestimating the demon army... With the combined strength of the city guard's high command and your presence, they certainly have the qualifications to fight the demon lord. However, the demon lord is surrounded by a large number of elite demons, some of whom possess the strength of demon leaders, not much weaker than me!"

"Including these demon leaders, we have no chance of winning. The only viable strategy is to use the ancient magic array in Zatuk City to delay them, wear down their patience, and wait for them to retreat on their own."

Zatuk City has an ancient magic circle, left behind by the legendary powerful figure who built the city—Emperor Daoud. Only his bloodline can activate and control the ancient magic circle, namely the chubby Rashid III.

This is why, despite his mediocre strength, Rashid III was able to gain the support of all social classes in Zatuq and the loyalty of the city guards.

Rashid III frowned and sighed, "Relying on ancient magic arrays to delay... I wonder how many people will die in battle. Marshal Jarid, why don't you listen to this young man and see if he has a more feasible plan?"

The ancient magic circle is not a barrier to prevent enemies from entering, but a field magic circle that strengthens allies and weakens enemies! Within the range of the ancient magic circle, humans will receive comprehensive benefits such as attribute bonuses, health restoration, and energy restoration, while demons will suffer attribute reductions, and their health and energy will be suppressed and unable to recover naturally.

Furthermore, under Rashid III's control, the ancient magic circle would change its form, producing further field effects.

Ultimately, however, we cannot rest easy just by relying on ancient magic arrays. When demons climb the city walls and reach the top, we still need strong human warriors to fight them.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Bai Pu.

This is just a small matter.

Bai Pu's smile remained unchanged: "To prevent leaks, my plan will be communicated to the city lord and the marshal through telepathic communication."

“No problem.” The two indigenous leaders readily agreed when they saw that Bai Puzhen had a plan.

This respect was earned through strength and prestige. Bai Pu's reputation in Zatuk City had increased significantly after he led his team to sweep through two demon dungeons, and he was now at the Revered level.

In terms of strength, Bai Pu has proven himself to be stronger than Marshal Jarid, belonging to the top tier of Zatuk City. Only with these two factors combined will Bai Pu's opinions be respected by the indigenous people.

The other generals and soldiers of Zatuq City, seeing Bai Pu's telepathic message and the changing expressions of Rashid III and Marshal Jarid—sometimes frowning in deep thought, sometimes staring in astonishment—felt an irresistible curiosity.

Finally, Bai Pu's telepathic transmission ended.

Marshal Jared asked seriously, "What you said about your special ability to control demons... is that true?"

"I can verify it for you. Sorry for the intrusion."

Bai Pu clapped his hands lightly, and his shadow suddenly bulged out, from which emerged a long, thin, black demon!

The demon's lower body resembled swirling smoke, its upper body had human limbs, and it held two sharp spikes in its hands. After appearing, it stood with its hands hanging down behind Bai Pu.

"Void Lurker!"

"It's a leader-level demon, protecting the city lord!"

The generals stood in front of Rashid III, including Marshal Jarid.

The appearance of demons within the city is indeed quite terrifying.

Of course, these people weren't fools. They could tell from the situation that this Void Lurker leader was under the command of the young man before them. The fact that the other party was actively displaying the existence of the demon leader was definitely not out of malice.

However, protecting the city lord is politically correct.

Rashid III may not remember who stood in his way, but he will certainly remember who did not...

“Don’t be nervous. This Void Lurker leader is named ‘Roga,’ and he is now my servant.” Bai Pu patted Roga on the shoulder, and the latter turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared back into Bai Pu’s shadow.

Marshal Jared scrutinized Bai Pu: "Wait a minute... this demon siege, could it be aimed at you? Did you raid a demon dungeon yesterday? Is that why the demon lord is coming for revenge?"

Bai Pu nodded, then corrected, "To be precise, I raided two demon dungeons last night. Perhaps you should consider kicking me out of the city to see if that can appease the demon lord's wrath."

To be honest, several indigenous generals exchanged glances, some of them showing interest.

In the team chat, Wu Qingyun exclaimed, "Xiao Bai, don't talk nonsense!"

Bai Pu reassured the two witches in the team chat: "It's alright. Based on my observation and deduction of the city lord, he's not the kind of short-sighted person. With him here, there's nothing to worry about."

Rashid III appeared to be overweight and lacked fighting prowess, but he was a good judge of character, appointing the powerful Jalid as the commander of the city guard. Moreover, he did not shy away from danger, and when the demon army was pressing in, he did not hide in the deep palace, but appeared on the city wall to boost morale.

Based on these two points alone, he has the demeanor of a wise and powerful ruler.
