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

Chapter 927 We want the person alive, or the corpse!
Tefra Giant Claw Mountain.

The Imperial military camp, like a colossal black beast, rested beside the city of Tefra.

Several awakened members of Bai Pu and Bart's team were hiding in the slave quarters outside the Imperial military camp's cordon.

These slaves arrived with the empire's fleets of all sizes. They had no real fighting ability and survived by mining.

These slaves couldn't even enter the city of Tefra; they could only rest in designated slave areas. To prevent them from escaping, the slaves were all shackled with heavy leg irons.

Bai Pu and others also changed into slave clothes and mingled among them.

This was to evade the search by the Dmitri family guards.

"Lord Steelheart, are you planning to ask the owner of the Rose Arena to act as an intermediary and introduce you to Legion Commander Gallius?"

Bart asked.

"This is one plan. If it fails, I will activate the backup plan."

"What's the backup plan?" Bart sensed something was wrong. He thought of the three men, "Copper Pipe" Gunther, who had been killed by the natives.

Despite harboring resentment towards Gunther and his two brethren, Bart was still somewhat saddened. As fellow comrades from Forge Star, the deaths of Gunther and his two brethren were far too tragic.

Bai Pu closed the scroll in his hand, glanced at Bart, and said gently, "Believe me, you don't want to know... Rather than figuring out how to meet Gallius, let's deal with the trouble at hand first."

"The current trouble?"

Before Bart could react, the slaves beside them, like waves cleaved open at the bow of a ship, hurriedly split and collapsed to both sides.

This situation was caused by someone driving these ignorant slaves away!

They were a group of guards of the Dmitri family.

The most obvious feature is the iris pattern on their battle robes.

"You still have a photo crystal, right?"

Bai Pu looked at Bart, "Call an assistant to maintain the record on the image crystal. Hold on, whatever you do, don't die."

Bart carefully examined the newcomers and chuckled, “A dozen or so elites, plus a Guardian Commander at the Enhanced Elite level. Lord Steelheart, you can handle the Guardian Commander, and we can deal with those dozen or so elites. It’s not as serious as you make it out to be.”

Bai Pu shook his head: "To be able to find us so accurately, do you think the enemy who came is simple? Be prepared, the worst has already happened."

The Dmitri family guards parted, and a gaunt old man walked over.

"Blood Boil" Karamango, the owner of the Crimson Blood Arena, and a former gold medal gladiator!
Unlike before, Karamango was now fully armored, wielding a sword, and his face was devoid of any smile, instead exuding a murderous aura.

“Lord Steelheart, perhaps… we should run?” Bart muttered, his lips twitching. “This Karamango is a level 13 leader, even stronger than the Naga General…”

"I want to fight him. Don't get involved."

At this moment, Bai Pu had already confirmed the latest progress of the two witches through the team channel—he and the two witches were not far apart in a straight line and were within the communication range of the team channel.

Bai Pu knew that Elizabeth the Bloodthorn, the owner of the Rose Arena, was on her way.

"You, with him?"

Bart looked at Bai Pu as if he were a madman.

"The leaders of the Ascended Planes are impossible to defeat! Their priority is too high; a mere gesture or attack can shatter our professional energy. Our level is three levels lower than theirs—that's terrifying level suppression!"

"Lord Steelheart, I know you are strong, but no Awakened One can defeat the leader alone in the Ascended Dimension!"

Bai Pu laughed and said, "I know I'm no match for him in terms of raw strength. However, I arranged to meet the two witches here. If we run, the reinforcements will only get further away, and do you really think we can outrun them?"

"It's better to fight here and wait for reinforcements. My nascent true essence also needs the final touch of honing, and this Karamango will be my whetstone!"

The scroll that Bai Pu had been holding turned into a stream of particles and dissipated.

【The Secret Manual of the Nishihara Family for Exorcising Demons】This is a reward item that Bai Pu received after completing an S-rank gold side quest in the world of inner demons.

This secret manual offers two opportunities to comprehend, and Bai Pu used his first opportunity in the world of inner demons.

The remaining second one is the essence of the S-level gold side quest reward. It was reserved by Bai Pu to be used as a "key" when he was preparing to break through to the prototype of true meaning.

Right there in the slave camp, Bai Pu used up his second chance to comprehend something.

Now, a flood of insights is pouring into my mind like a stream of information.

Bai Pu was filled with many feelings and experiences, and wanted to find an opponent to vent his frustrations on, to fight to his heart's content, and to elevate his "fighting will"!

Then, by combining the five elements of one's own profound meaning, one can step into the level of "the embryonic form of true meaning"!

It is urgent. If the Ascension Plane cannot achieve the prototype of the Five Elements True Meaning, then after becoming an Ascension Evolver, Bai Pu can only use the "prototype of the Three Calamities True Meaning" that he has reached so far as his own True Meaning.

Although the Three Calamities True Meaning also has three grades, how could Bai Pu be content with this after putting in so much effort?

One step ahead leads to continuous progress! This is a wise saying.

“Then…we’ll stay too, at least to help you hold off the Dmitri family guards.”

Bart gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, making this difficult decision.

There's an element of loyalty involved, but there's also an element of gambling.

Bai Pu looked at Bart gently: "You are also in the know, and Copper Pipe Gunther must have sold you out completely. The Dmitri family guards would never have let you go... So, don't stay, run far away and help me create some space."

Bart gave a wry smile. He was beginning to understand the difficulty of this series of missions; it was only the second step, and he would already be facing the leader.

Of course, he was essentially clinging to Steelheart's coattails. With Steelheart protecting the leader, they only needed to deal with a dozen elites and one enhanced elite.

But... even the enhanced elites aren't easy for them to deal with!
In terms of pure combat power, the enhanced elite can even reach the top ten of the "Silver Heart Major General Combat Power Prediction List". It is only that the true meaning is weaker, but the strength of the basic priority can completely make up for the gap in this aspect.

“Then we’ll create some space for you to fight Karamango one-on-one.” Bart resignedly gave the order, leading several major generals from Furnace Star to disperse.

Coincidentally, that's what the enemy was thinking too.

Karamango said to "Montig," the commander of the Dmitri Guard, "I'll capture Steel Heart. Don't interfere; it's my prized possession."

Commander Montig is an enhanced elite, but his strength is far inferior to that of Karamango.

But given the background of the Dmitri family, he showed no mercy to Karamango, sternly warning him: "I agree to your request, but you must also remember Madam's request... When dealing with Steelheart, take him alive or dead! Absolutely do not let him go!"
